THB NORTH PLATTE 9K)MI-WflEKbY TRIBUNE 3 AXrtfs- Smith, Jones and Mabel By MORRIS SCHULTZ Ccjrlhl. 13J, Wt.ltin .Neraiapr Union; Smith and Jones were government clerks nt Washington, but -tltcy wero uo ordinary clerks. They were high up In the scale. Smith wan In the war olllce nnd Jones had something to (In with the Philippines. Now for some unfortunate over flight what happened was IIiIh: Smlth'a department was conducting n nent lit tle wnrfnre against a bandit tribe lu the mountains, Ignorant of the fact that Jones' department was subsidiz ing the snme tribe for being good boys and not Interfering with their neigh bora. In other words, whllo Smith wns bncklng Bnndlt Borrlobooln-ahu with arms and ninmunltlon, to keep Bandit Wnnkn-Bongbo In order, Jones was becking Wonkn-Bongbo to sit on Bor-rloboolu-Ciliu nnd keep the lid down! They discovered It oulto by accident one night when talking over things at their boarding house on Avonuo W. It was no ordinary boarding home. It wns the best boarding house In the world, because Mabel White lived there. Mnbel was only a typist, but such n kind girl I Everybody loved her. Smith loved her to desperation, nnd Jones loved her to distraction. There was also u vulgar fellow, a rricrc manufacturer, living there be cause ho wns a widower; but, as ho wns fifty, It wns evident that Mnbcl's Interest In him wns purely sympathy. "Whnt nre we going to do about it?" naked Smith. "Ob, do tell mel" said Mnbel, who wns Interested In things. , "Why, thcro'a an Infernal trouble started," said Smith. "Tills Idiot has I been supplying nrms nnd ninmunltlon ; to "Wnnku-Bongbo to rnld his peaceful, i Inw-nltldlng neighbor, Borrlobooln 0)10." "Nothing of the sort!" shouted Jones Indignantly. "That lunatic has been , supplying nrms and ninmunltlon to : thnt cannibal, Borrlobooln-Gha to raid j the territories of our ally, Wankn 1 Bongbo I" "But how perfectly thrilling I" ex claimed Mnbel. "Do tell mo who you think will win!" "niivrlnlioola-Olin. of course," snld Smith haughtily. "Wanka-Uongbo, without doubt," j paid Jones with Icy Indifference. "Then you two boys are really at 1 wur with each other," said Mabel soft-! ly; and her glance was so full of i men nlng Hint each of them realized 1 lnstnntly that thu winner In the trlbul ' feud wiih the winner of Mabel's heart. From thut time on Smith and Jones! regarded each other as deadly cue-! rnles. They pored over each Item of, news from the Philippines that! reached their respective departments. Of course the governnient realized the ! mistake It had made, hut there wns nothing to be done about It now, Smith's heart leaped up .me' day when he was able to tell Mnbel, In! Jones' presence, that Borrloboola-' aim's outposts hud brought In two-' bends of Wnukn-Itongbo's men. That night Mabel looked unmistak ably like Smith's, hut the very next afternoon news arrived that Wnnka BOngbo's men hud eaten three of Bor-rloboola-Glin's j and the look thut Mn bel cast nt Jones when she heard the glad tidings, drove Smith to despera tion. Tor weeks, It wns touch and go. j Now' Rorrlobooln-Glin's men would! cupture two calves and n dozen eggs' from Wnnkn-Bongho's village, nnd' Smith would take Mabel to the movies ; j then Wnnlcn-Bongbo's men would bring back the noses nnd a couple of oyc-j brows from Borrlobooln-Ghu's villages,' and Jones nnd Mabel would eat, Ice cream on the stoop together, while j Smith gnashed his teeth In his bed-! room. All the boarding houso know of tho feud nnd scanned thu papers with ab sorbing Interest to lenrn tho latest news from the Philippines. The only exception was the manufacturer, who cast sour, dour glowers nt everybody from his motor cur. It wns it 12-cyljnder rondster with silver fittings, Mabel adored uutomo blllng. The evening enmo whon Smith and Jones met at the boarding houso and ceased to frown ut each other. Ter rible things had happened. "To think thnt trnltor Borrloboola Ubu should have Joined your cannibal and turned his arms on the whites!" sighed Smith. "I wonder where Mnbel Is." ' "I can't understand that scoundrel Wfttikii-Bongbo'e Joining your degraded ape-man ngulnst tho whites," sighed Jones. "I Ins anybody seen Mlsa Mabel?" "Oh, gentlemen, have you heard the nuwB?" nsketj little Miss Onncrod, bursting Into tho room. "Miss White's eloped with Mr, Phlnuey, and they wexe married this afternoon U' "Divorcee While You Wait" ; Chicago, llhodu Island, Reno and all other American dlvorco resorts innHt yield tho palm to Burma for the facility, economy und expedition with which matrimonial knots can bo untied. When "on tho road to Manda hay," a Burmese couple have agreed to Bcpantte, they simply light tw'o enndles, one for each, and watch and wait to eeo whoso candlo first burns down, Tho ono whoso fato has thus been decided leaves forever tho com. inon homo; tho unfortunate ono can not tako away anything 'but the clothes on his or her person. Tho other becomes tho solo proprietor of the entire common property. FEARED BAD LUCK PERIODS Aztec Believed That Evil Fate Ruled World During the La it Five Day of Year. The Aztec calendar consisted of ! year of 18 mouths of 20 days lench ; and a closing p.rlod of live days, Into which It was believed all the bad luck j I of the year was crowded. No one Started upon a Journey durljig these ' Jive day, for fear some misfortune would befall him ; no woodcutter ven- I turcd Into the forest to hew wood ! during this period, lest wild beasts j should devour him ; tho houses ware 'left unswept; the housewives made no pottery vessels; children so un- fortunate us to be born on one of these live days were by that very fact , preuestineu to misfortune for the rest I of their lives. The next, and among the Aztecs the only time period higher than the year, was the xlbultlmolpla, or cycle j of 52 years. It wns held thnt ut the j close of one of these periods would some day come the destruction of j the worlil. J On tin Inst night of the xlhultl j inolpln tires were extinguished on the heal ths, nnd the Inhnbltnnts of i Tciioehtltlnh (City of Mexico) moved out of the city ami took up positions j on the surrounding hills, waiting ! feverishly either for the destruction ' of the world or, In the event of sun rise, the dawn of another xlbultlmol pla. Once the sun had urlsen, how ever, great were the rejoicings, fires were rekindled and the crisis wob over for another 5- years. Explanation of Dreams. Numerous forms of fever nre an-1 nounced by dreams of an uncommonly j terrifying character ; whllo In cases of j severe neuralgia and rheumatic uffeci I tlons, disturbed dreams nre occasional ly found to be forerunners of an nt tuck. Indigestion gives rise to very morbid drcuuiH, Into which weeping, sorrow, deaths, funerals, suffocation, and Btriiuge uulmuls enter. All these things are due to the curious effect which the mind has over the body during periods of sleep, for dreaming Is n very natural thing, und those who never dream ut all are said to be mentally afflicted. Odd Displays of Pollteneas. The forms of courtesy nnd civility lu Far Eastern countries have nlways been of the most extravagant nature. Abraham bowed himself to the ground to show his respect to strangers. So much time wn.i taken up with po lite salutation It Is no wonder that when Ellsliu sent his servant In great haste on an errand he warned him, "If thou hic(t any man salute him not, and If any man salute thee answer, him not again," there being no time to waste In ceremony. The Arab of today begins to bow us soon nR lie perceives a friend In the distance, inquires over nnl over again regarding the health of the family, kisses Mils own hand, kisses his friend's beard and gives thanks to Allah that they nre once more penult ted to meet. , Danceland greets you every Satur day night.

And that is a tribute that can be paid to but few motor lubricants being sold today. Keep the maintenance of your motor truck down by using it exclusively. Even in cdld weather, Polarine works its way quickly in between the bearing surfaces of a motor and keeps them coated with a heat-resisting film of oil. All motor oils are supposed to protect the rubbing surfaces of motors. Polarine does protect them in winter as effectively as in summer, in old motors and new ones, at low speed and" at high speed. Polarine is made in one standard, unsurpassed quality. But to meet every motor lubrication need itis sold in fourgrades: medium light, medium heavy, heavy and extra heavy.
