Farmer Boy
A Farmer Boy who was born ,in a
small Middle Western community;
who shucked corn to pay his way
through school; who spent ten years
at the Missouri
and Nebraska
Universities; who
has been a resi
dent of this state
for years.
What other can
didate is so well
fitted to under
stand and fulfill
the needs of the
Middle West?
World Leader
A World Leader who cleaned up the most
turbulent island in the Philippines; who led his
company to victory up San Juan Hill; who beat
the diplomats of Europe at their own game; who
ended a World War three years before the most
optimistic European "experts" had hoped.
What other candidate is so well fitted to
guide America out of the maze of European
complications which remain as our heritage of
the World War?
If Nebraska could offer the nation only Pershing,
and Nebraska citizen it would offer enough. If it
Pershing, the World Leader, it would do more than
can hope.

MAN OF SUPREME TALENTS
George Du Maurler, Whose "Trilby"
la Immortal, Celebrated as Mas
ter of Three Arts.
George On Maurler was singularly
talented. Ho could have made a last
lug ivpuiutlon as mi artist, a writer
or a caricaturist bo stands Immortal
tin a master of all three arts, llo was
bom March 0, ISai, and died In 1S90.
He was the sun of a naturalised
Englishman n man who had left
Fnncc to escape the reign of terror,
lie himself was born In Paris and
much of his early youth was passed
there. Ills life was Ideally happy. Ills
"gay and Jovial" father brought him
up In a charming homo; his pretty
wlfo was an object of adorntlon to
him; bin success was certain from the
start.
Intending first to be a chemist, he
soon found that his real vocation wns
art, so ho went to the Latin quarter
In Paris and later to Holland to study.
In London ho Joined the stalt of Punch,
n connection ho kept for 30 years. He
sides the light and graceful cartoons
for Punch he exhibited water color
sketches.
Lato In life he began writing novels.
"Peter Ibbetson" and "Trilby" were
especially well received. "Trilby" was
dramatized and produced In 1S95, a
year before Du Mnurler's death, by Sir
Herbert Heerbohm Tree. Lately It
has been revived with Immense success.
Like his pictures, his writings were
graceful, humorous-, too fanciful to be
true, jet written with an air of great
truth.
INDIA HOME OF TREE FERN
In That Country the Plant Attains the
Dignity of a Splendid, Full
Grown Tree.
When we visit a botanical garden
nnd behold specimens of palms and
ferns so luxuriant that their crowns
nearly touch the glass-domed conserv
atory, we rarely pause to realize
that In their native haunts these trop
ical plants nre trees. At Darjeellng,
India, for Instance, Is the tree fern
found In Its greatest glory. The first
few miles of the 2-foot gauge railway
Journey from Calcutta passes through
n dense Jungle, with a vegetation of
rnnlnnl IlivlirlllllPe. GrilSS IS IT) feet
deep, cane stalks rise CO nnd CO foot ."Z
I'lgh, while from the feathery foliage
of the tree fern peacocks and birds-of-parndlse
lift their haughty heads
In their topmost fronds. As ono rum
bles along In the little first-class car
riage which weighs under two tons,
he realizes that the tree fern and all
tho other luxuriant follngu In this im
penetrable jungle, shields the home
of tho tiger, rhinoceros, panther nnd
wild hog.
There are no tree ferns In tho Unit
ed Stntcs, but 0 specimens or more
nre found In tho higher nltltudes of
the West Indies, and many more oc
cur In other tropical regions. In some
portions of the mountains of Jamaica,
tree ferns form half or more of the
forced vegetation, their trunks vary
ing from G to f0 feet in height.
with the deliberate purpose of deceiv
ing any Intruders who might come
along Is not known. Tho bird is very
beautifully colored, tl - top of Its head
and the region nearly down to the
shoulders being a yellow green, the
back olive green, the throat and breast
jet black and the under parts white
with some yellow In them at times.
If you are out bird hunting and are
looking for that member of the warbler
known as the p'ne warbler, you will
be most likely to find It, ns the name
Implies, In a pine grove. In fact It Is
seldom found outside of such localities.
Tho bird Is rather quiet In Its man
ners and does not move about from
one spot to nnothor with as much
fuss as do many birds. Like the
It has tho habit of creeping
about among the branches or llie trees.
It Is greenish yellow above and
brighter below, with two white wing
bars nnd with white spots ou Its outer
tall fenthers.
FIRST USED BY FRENCH KING
BEAUTIFUL IN ITS COLORING
Green Warbler Remarkable Even
Among American Birds for tho
Gorgeousneus of Its Plumage.
Some birds get very nervous nnd bo
como much excited if you approach
their nests, and among them Is tho
blnck-throated green warbler, says tho
American Forestry association. An
other thing about this bird Is that it
frenuently builds several nests.
Fishing Superstitions.
The salmon fisheries of California
used to be responsible for a queer cus
tom on the part of the Indians. Every
spring they would "dance for salmon."
If the fisii did not appear with the
celerity deemed appropriate, there
would bo employed a "wise man? who
made an image of a swimming fish
which, wns placed In the water In the
hope of attracting live fish to the bait.
The Japanese fishermen have tho
quaint notion that silence must bo ob
served, nnd even the women loft at
home are not permitted to talk lest
the fish should hear nnd disapprove.
Among the members of the primitive
race of Alnus, the first fish caught Is
brought In through a window Instead
of a door, so that the other fish "may
not see."
Expression Now So Common, "Let
George Do It," Said to Have
Originated With Louis XII.
Many people go no further hack
than to the well-known play to nc
count for tho interesting little ejacula
tion, "Let George Do It." lis, senti
ment appeals to all of us strongly,
when wo wisli to shift a disagreeable
task from our own shoulders to those
of some other available person, whom
wo make ourselves bellevls Is more eill
clent perhaps we are lazy. Incident
ally, we may succeed also In making
him believe that be is the only person
for the Job.
It may chance that wo have tho legal
and ethical right to request George to
do it nnd that It Is tolerably certain
thnt George will patiently receive and
discharge the responsibility; or It may
be thnt we merely wash our hands of
the matter and with a shrug of the
shoulders proceed ou our way, roinarl
ing, "I can't. Let George do it."
However that may be, remarks the
Kansas City Star, the origin of tin
sentence Is this: Louis XII of France,
himself a strong ruler, was fortunnto
to have a prime minister who was a
clever executive and possessed of good
sense, George d'Ainhnlse. To him
Louis referred many of the most deli
cute and onerous affairs of the king
dom. Things turned out so satlsfac
torlly under George's manipulation
that Louis' slogan came to bo "Quo
Georges le fnsso" (Let George do It.)

Squirrel Vill Put Up Fight.
When surprised In the woods, the
behavior of tho fox squirrel Is quite
different from that of the gray species.
As a rule the former will put forth his
best endeavor to roach some hollow

scrambles to avoid Ills enemy, says the
American Forestry Magazine of
u'nsliliiL'tnn. One may often see
them stretched out on n limb as fiat
ns possible, and they will, thinking
themselves uiipereehvd, remain a long
time in that position ns quiet us a
mouse. If cornered and there Is no
hole handy for him to get Into, nnd
the limb lie is on is too small to hide
him, he will begin barking at the
hunter or his dog in tho most defiant
manner possible. It Is said that a fox
squirrel can beat off a small dog, and
will put up u hard fight If ono attacks
him.
