I A letter has been rucolVud In North Plntto suggesting an oxcurslon to the Ak-Sar-Bcn noxt summer, by North Plntto buslnoss and professional men. Tho management of the Omaha hIiow will put on a special night for North Platto and will make It u worth-whllo affair. Closer relations with the me tropolis of tho stare, nru doslrnblo Bitch an excursion would bo prolitablo to both cities. ; :o; In our rounds of news gathering we havo noBcd out a good many Items rogardlng tho activities of the North . Platto Chambor of Commerce. Wo havo watched Its work for several months nnd havo boon closely associ ated with Its activities, having at tended a nutnbor of Its regular meet ings. Wo havo observed tho regular attendance of Us mombors Wo have scon the men in session until well toward mldnightf, Wo havto heard them discussing matters pertaining to tho welfare of North Platto and Its peoplo nnd wo know that they havo been diligent In unselfish scrvlco to tho beat Interests of this city. The nlno directors have glvon us a year of activity that probably will sot a slandnrd for Bovoral years to como. Most of us will never know tho schomcs that havo been proposed nnd rejected by tho Directors. Somo of us do know of tho schomcs that havo been proposed and approved. Seldom has a mistake boon made. Tho sifting has, boon thorough and unsolflsh. From a nionov Hdnolnt tho citizens have rfccolvcd directly or Indirectly many timos tho cost of conducting tho Chamber , It la ono of our big In stitutions and when proporly under stood It will bo appreciated by nil. An Employment Bureau that tnkes earo of tho nocds of the citizens of North Platto Is badly neoded in North Platto at tho present time. Tho Chambor of Commorco has dono somo Work along this lino and It has been good ns far as It went but for lack of co-operation and want of publicity It has served only a. certain part of tho pooplo With tho present de pression In business It follow that a number of good men and women, who havo been omployod will bo rolpasod and somo Who havo not needed to work will bo drlvon to find somothlng to do. It Is embarrassing to peoplo With highly sensitive nnturos, to go Up and down tho streets Inquiring for a position. Wo hoard of u steno grapher who hnd applied at every of llco In town that sho cpuld learn of and missed tho ono whorq a steno grapher was needed. An oxport ac countant rcontly told uh ho would like to remain In North Plntto If a placo opened up which ho could handle. Ho Ib too good for us to lose hero and yet the right employor might not hear of him. L'arm help, household help, storo help, shop help, .nil should be brought In touch with possible em ployers. A man or woman out of work Is psunlly low In funds It Is ut such a time that he appreciates help In Kuaurlng employment and If It In rcivon 'without cost he appreciates It the m-"-". Wo think such an om ploviivnt bureau, conducted by tho city, tho Chnmbor of Commorco, tho Welfare Hoard or other agency should bo llnnnclally supported othorwlso than by tho mon and women who need Ub help. Wo appreciate tho difficul ties In conducting such an Institution but bollevo It would bo worth all tho troublo It causes In holplng to take o.nro of tho nood which Is liable to exist In a largo ilegrou from now on until spring. -::o:; Di.

They ttitiui down when they smoke, and ns t h- stems of the pipes nre .'5 feet Ion, the bowl can rest on the ground. In Bethle hem tho hookah Is very popular among the women and It accompnnlPH the morning nnd nftornoon coffec tlrlitklng hour. Severn! tubos extend from the wnlor bowl through which the sluoke passes In a cooling process, ond the women gather nbout the hookah, each (.electing a tube, and all drawing smoke from the common bowl. The Burmuse muldons smoke a cigar 10 Indies long nnd as fut its a good-sized candle and with a while paper cov ering. The longest pipes known arc those used by natives of the Helglun Congo. These pipes have stems 10 or YZ feet long, with small bowls. If matches were used to light them a friend would be needed to apply the flame, but the native gets ftl light by merely thrusting the bowl Into his camp Are. LOCAL ANJ) PERSONAL jean D. M.

Tho quality In every enso Is up to the Clin ton stnndnrd. Clinton The Jeweler. Bats and Bees. For many years I have noticed when the lime trees arc In flower the ground benenth them strewed with dead bees (the rimull bumble-bee), stales a Scot tish correspondent on nature matters. Hut I don't think this can bo the work of bats, a suggested, for the bees are generally whole, outwardly, but their Insldos are eaten away. Can It be thnt there Is some liny Insect In the lime flower which, fastening on them ns they suck the honey, cuts Into their bodies, and causes them to drop down dend below tho trco? I have never noticed nny number of bals about the trees of an evening, nnd besides a bnt's mouth would be too largo to ent them out like thnt. English Coal Miners Peculiar. The occupation of coal-mining In England is said to pnss very largely from father to son and from undo To nephew. It Is n calling to which one Is dedicated, and more than any oth er clnss of workers the miners nre a caste and n people to themselves. It was about a coal miner, or, as he used to bo more generally called, a collier, thnt the famous story of the Brond wood grand used to be toldhow he bought the piano out of his monstrous wages nnd, finding himself unable to play It, took umbrage and kicked it to pieces. The story was generally believed and much grieved over In m!d-dls-clnss Ylctorlan. society. "What to Glvo and Where to Get It?
