Raisers of cattle In this section of tho state have boon hard hit carrying over their stock and feeding It during tho winter months. It Is stated that aomo feeders have lost as much as forty, dollars nor head on cattle that thoy carried during the wjintor. Peed lias been almost prohibitive In price and tho open range was snowed In early last fall, and 1b lato in croplng out this Bpi'lng. Coupled with this there cumo a sharp break in tlio mark et, at a tlmo when feeders aro ready to unload. A number of farmers residing along tlio Loup, who sold cattlo on Omaha iijiU rvuiiaua ji.y mm huib uui jug uiu j imai iow wcoks, cry never gaain. They not alono failed to make earning on their work or profit on their invest ment but most casos did not rdcovor their original investment. Apparently ralsors of cattlo on wost om rangos fared little bettor. Thoy woro caught by. a short hay crop, early fall storms, necessitating tho ship ment of thoir uncomVtloncd cattlo into nearby state whor.o food was more plentiful, this at a loss to them. But It was their only altornativo. Today, whon the rango should again bo open to them, they aro clamoring for high priced alfalfa from this or any other state to moot thd'r needs In the way of food. Tho crimp put Into cattlo feeders during tho wlntor will in all probabil ity result In many farmors abandon ing the cattlo feeding game thjs fall and cause them to turn thoir attention to other Hnqs. -::o:: Spelling by Ear. A simplified spelling society In Lon don has developed n form of Inngungo with n one sound, one symbol notation of letters and digraphs. A sample of tho system In operation Is furnished ns follows? "Wuns uion a tym a rich lord and his wyf hnd a llttl bol and a llttl gerl hoom dhal luvd verl much. Wun dnl dho good mudlier bgknmo verl 111. In n short tym dho fancier aulso fcl ML . v. If cu doo ohls I wll give each of eu a purs ov goeld." The system looks very much like spelling by ear. It ought not to re quire any very complicated system of rules. In fact, many pcoplo habitually spell by enr without tlio authority of tho society's diction. Thero nre many people who have given up further at tempts at mastering English nA it Is Bpc'led today, and these would wel come n phonetic reform with great Joy. Seattle Post-Intelllgenccr. v. T.

Wettern Newwpjr Ufilou. 1 "The bull I ringing, unrle." 1 '.'Let It ring. You don't get me on. a night like this." "But somebody wnnts to got noross tho river." "Then lot them swim." "Shall I go?" "You'll have to If you're so nnxlous about It." With the maudlin nnd ungracious. words Martin Dnlo turned over on tnu couch on which ho lay and the girl, Alice, threw a wntcrproof cape over her shoulders and went out Into thu darkness and stonr. It was n relief to got awny from tho liquor freighted ulr of tho room where she had sat poring over a book in the feeble lnmp light. Rending and room ing amid nature comprised the only grateful brenks for Alice In nn exist ence almost unendurable There was not n posslblo girl companion within miles nnd the rickety, half furnished old ruin of a building whore Martin Dnlo had drank nnd dozed hnlf his life nway hud not a homelike feature. Left an orphan And penniless, her fate would have been tho nlmslronse had not Dale, her half-uncle, adopted her. Alice hnd become an expert In handling the ferryboat. It required both strength and skill to operate tho great slotted wooden bar which pulled tho boat along the thick rope cable, but she was able to exert both to n point of careful efficiency. She lit and set the lantern on the boat. It was raining hard nnd blowing a gale, but she was used to all kinds of weather, toll nnd discomfort. Alice drove tho scow nshore nfter crossing the river to find a man of nbout thirty pacing restlessly, to and fro und who the moment the craft ennio within reach Jumped nboard. He carried a basket quite roomy nnd cov ered with a piece of waterproof close ly tucked In all nbout the edges, no placed this very carefully tinder the half boarded space under tho seat at the stern, "coined very solicitous about It, but did not sent himself. '-.'Hurry!" ho spoke, nervously strid ing over the wet boards, "I shall pay on well If you do." Alice bent sturdily to her task. She wondered who the handsome, well dressed stranger could be, but her mind was practically absorbed by her duties, for never in nil her experience hnd she faced a more severe task than the present one. Tho breeze had arisen to a hurricane and the current at times swept the bulky, clumsy craft to the extreme straining point of part ing the cable. i "Snap I" It camo ns she had feared. The ancient knotted, mended rope hnd been unable to withstand the present fierce attack upon Its rotted strnnds. With a. shiver and then n series of diz zying whirls the scow swung out of all conlrol. "Hold to something I" she cried, her self clinging to an upright nt the side of tlio craft. The lantern swung loose and was engulfed, nnd down stream the boat swung with those on hoard completelyfnt the mercy of wind nnd water. Then there was a crack. The craft i had struck a rock, parted, floated on shuttered wreck and Alice, hurled Into the waters, saw the passenger struggling in mldstronm. She grasped. the basket as It floated nenr her nnd reached the shore In safety. She sot It on the ground nnd run nlong striv ing to discern some further trace of tho passenger. Then, excited and awed, sho hurried homo, roused up Dale, nnd he, seizing, a lantern, hastened away, his wrecked craft nnd the imperiled passenger In his mind. He never returned and his body was later recovered at a 'dam down tho river. And meantime Alice had mnde startling discovery. In the basket sho found a babe less than a year old and under It n wallet containing a large nniouiit of bank notes. Con cerning the child Allco told the entire true story. The finding of the money she did not relate. She adopted tlio little refugee with a new joy In life, using none of the money except for Its needs, and operated a now small boat at the ferry alone. Somehow to Alice, Inexperienced as she was, tho faith grew in hor mind that some day developments concern ing tho missing passenger and her lit tle protege would como to light, nnd one day two months after that ovent ful night sho returned from a stroll In the woods, tho little one In her arms, to confront a man seated Avail ing for her outside the ferry houiip. Ho was pale of face,, attenuated of form and suggested a person Just con valescent from a severe spell of Ill ness. At onco Allco recognized him as the ill-fated passenger of the ferry boat tho night of tho storm. Robert Lisle recited whnt Allco had anticipated a marvelous rescue from drowning and weeks of sickness In a hospital, Then ho had started bade tho trail to learn what had become of tho llttlo child of his dead sister whom ho had removed from unfeeling rein tlves. Allco wept at tho thought of losing tho llttlo ono whom sho had como to love bo dearly. An offer of monoy enough to make her Independent was no bnlm for her grief. Sho begged to be allowed to go with llttlo Mabel .us her nurso. Tho heart of Robert LlsJe was deeply touched and he could not part them. She went as nurse, indeed, hut within a yenr the happy, obscure ferry girl became the honored wlfo of Ambitions of Austria, Russia, Ger many and Turkey All Lie Purled In the Balkans. We stood on the forward deck of the Slrlo as she slipped southward, through the placid waters of the Adrlr utlc, at 20 knots nn hour. Loss than a loague away tho Balkan mountains, savage, mysterious, forbidding, rose In n rocky rampart agalnsUthe east ern sky. "Did It ever occur to you," remarked the Italian ofllcer who stood beside me, a noted historian In his own land, "that four groat empires have died as a lesult of their lust for dominion over the restless lands which lie be yond those mountains? Austria cov eted Serbia and tho empire of the Ilnpsburg is In fragments now. Rus sia, seeing her Influence In the penin sula Imperiled, hastened to tho sup port of her fellow Slavs but Russia has gone down In rod ruin, nnd the Romanoffs are dead, Germany, seek ing a gateway to the warm water, and a highway to the East, seized on the excuse thus offered to launch her wait ing armies and the empire reared by the Hohenzollcrns Is bankrupt nnd broken. Turkey fought to retain' her hold on such European territory as still remained under the crescent ban ner. Today a postmortem Is about to be hold on the Turkish empire and, the house of Osman. "Think of it: Four great empires, four ancient dynasties, He burled over there In the Balkans. It Is something moro than a range of mountains nt which we are looking; it is the wall of a cemetery."

The Intest Clemenceau anecdote that Is going the rounds of the boulevards Is to the effect that the premier was annoyed because a tree in the neigh boring garden overshadowed his. The tree was the property of some Jesuit fathers, on .whom . M. Clemenceau called, politely explaining that his at titude to the church wns unchanged, but he would regard it ns a personal favor If the Jesuit futhers would cut down the tree, 'becnuse it prevents me from seeing the heavens." The. Jesuit father who received him was very courteous and wns much flattered by the premier's call. He promised that the offending tree should he speedily removed, but he added, with the suave smile of the ecclesiastic: "I am afraid. M. le Premier, that, Just the same, you will not see heaven." London Morning Post. Russian Painters Thriving. "Art," so far as the production ot pictures is concerned, Is said to have hnd a great boom In bolshevlst Rus sia owing to the fact that the govern ment pays n liberal amount for all works approved by official experts. The whole domain of nrt has been placed under the control of n council of seven members, four uf whom are apostles of futurism. Artists' earn ings have been incrensed through a rule established by the council un der which nil pictures that pass the Judges are to be paid for at the uni form rate of 7,000 rubles each. Whether the artist has devoted months of assiduous labor to a pic ture or whether It is a daub which has taken a few hours to paint, the recompense is the same. With such LOOKED LIKE SURE TROUBLE Little Wonder Courtroom Was In Pan ic Over Colored Woman's Spectac ular Appearance. During a trial of a colored man In tho criminal court recently on b charge of murder, thero was consid erable nervous tension In tho court room, the result of remarks that had been made tout some one was "going to start something," regardless of the outcome of the case.

At an impressive moment, while the defendant wns on the witness stand, a commotion wns heard at one of the encouragement tho number of artists courtroom doors. Into the midst of In Russia is increasing rapidly. the nervous spectators walked a large colored woman who carried In one nana a lormianDie-JooKing rnie.
