NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. Something to Think About By V. A. WALKER THE REASON WHY TN KVKKYDAY contact with such I ems us rcgulurly come up for solution In tho homo or the ofllce, adopt a process of reasoning them out In your own way. You will llnd If you steadfastly per sist In such a course that you will noon reach a higher stage of think ing, necessary always to a higher state of elllclency. Accepting some one's snyso with out giving serious thought to the answer or Inquiring as to the reason why, is an unwise thing to do. In spite or whatever Innate clever ness you may have, If this dependence on some one else Is continued, there will never come to you an opportunity to show this ability. You will form the harmful habit of leaning on others Instead of stand ing alone In your own strength and trusting unreservedly" In self. Tliose upon whom you rely for ad vice will keep ahead of you Just as long as you court their company nnd assistance. By pursuing such a course you ad mit Incompetence and lack of force, which disqualify you for leadership MARRY "FOR KEEPS" TP YOU have a capital of a thousand dollars, and only n thousand dol lars, you are likely to be a little par ticular about Investing It. Yet you Invest your capital of hap piness, which is all you have, nnd all you ever will have, on the llrst pretty fuce you happen to see. The nverage youth devotes more care to the selection of a suit of clothes than he does to the selection of n wife. . ' When his mnrrlngc turns out unhap pily, ho wonders why he happened to have hard luck, or cynically observes that you never can trust a woman. About DO per cent of the labor and expense of the divorce courts could be nvoided If young men and women would expend a little serious thought about the most serious business of their lives, which Is getting married. Neither men nor women can so skillfully disguise their true nntures us to deceive anybody who Is really In earnest about investing his capital of happiness where It will pay divi dends for all time. Nobody ever falls so head-over-ears-ln-love at first sight that lie hasn't time to think over the seriousness of picking a wife before he sends for the best man nnd engages the minis ter. There is no source of unhapplness In the world so prolific as marriage, chiefly because nobody ever appears to think that It should be entered In uny way save by accident. If the reformers who cry out against divorce, when it is too late, would spend the same amount of time nnd energy trying to teach people to find the right kind of mates, there would be less divorce, less scandal and more Uncommon .

In cream soups, adding a little more butter, the skim milk Is especial ly good. Sticky Cinnamon Buns. Take one quart of raised dough, ndd one-half cupful of sugar, two well beaten eggs, two tnblespoonfuls of soft butter, one-half cupful of brown sugar; mix well and roll out. Spread with two tablespooufuls of soft butler; sprinkle with one-hnlf cupful of brown sugnr, mixed with two tenspoonfuls of cinnamon, one-hnlf cupful each of cur rants and seeded raisins.

Let rise until light Tho buns should be five Inches high when baked. Cut the roll In two-and-one-half-Inch slices when put to rise. Place an asbestos mat under the pan nnd be careful not to bake In too hot nu oven. Anise 8eed Cookies. Take one-half cupful of shortening, ono cupful of sugar, two eggs, two tn blespoonfuls of milk, four tnblespoon fuls of anise seed, fivo tablespoonfuls and advertise to your employers that you are a second-grade man or woman, Incapable of forming Judgment without help from others. To observe, reflect nnd apply ought to be the high purpose of every man und woman In the stern bnttle of life. Observe as n child and keep, observ ing until you llnd the reason why. If you will reflect, sift out the chnff from the wheat, you will In a Bhort time be qualified to Judge the good from the worthless nnd pick out tho best every time you aro called upon to make a decision. With this newly acquired ability, you will know unerringly how to choose the right course and follow It with strength and assurance. Instead of being a weak dependent, wdverlng, uncertain and timid, you will grow steadily Into a strong, hold lender capable of shouldering grent responsi bilities. Keep your eye open, use the mind given you by the Creator, figure tho value of everything that has a direct bearing on your work, apply the useful and you will encounter no real difficul ties In finding the renson why, or In piercing the bull's eyq of success with an nrrow of your own making.

Collins robbed more than '200 homes. "SyBtem" Wins Police Comment. "All the pmooth workers I've ever seen are boobs compared to Collins," said Captain McCnuley, In grudging admiration of tho burglar's "system."

"I live at avenue," one of Ills victims would stnte in the police station where Collins was affably as 3lstlng In the return of property. "I remember that perfectly," would be his reply. "I was there at threo o'clock on February 22. I got two furs, a necklnce and a sultcaso there." Sergeants Feery and Webster un packed half a dozen suitcases and handbags In the station squad room. Out came silverware, furs, men's and women's suits, an ivory toilet set, nnd three automatic revolvers. Collins' vic tims examined It eagerly.
