NEMAHA ADVERTISER, W. V.

It Is In accord with the eternal flt jhs of things that ghosts should walk m thi' dead of night. It's only when a piece of property s offered for a nong that a man dls overs he can't sing. Japan's custom of advising unsuc essfut otlleers to commit suicide at east obviates a good deal of unwise lero worship. The reason a man marries his sweet heart Ih because she Is not like other ;lrlH. The reason he divorces her Is H'cnuso she Is. There Is a restaurant at the St. .ouls Exposition where I8 languages ire spoken. Hut money does the tnllc ng that Is listened to. Let the small hoy he admonished ha't while the Fourth of July Is a ,i'ont and glorious day It does not in hide the third and llfth. A German peasant has a pair of feet liar, reuulrc No. 17 shoes. It Is scarce y necessary, perhaps, to ndd that the easant to whom these feet pertain Is i man. Countless editorials are being writ en to explain "Why the Japanese Win." Itolled down, must of them tccount for the Japanese victories by diowlng that the Russians lost nreuniHtnntlnl evidence Is provcr-. Lilly dangerous to rely upon, but, all .he same, there are lots of people that ognrd the presence of "wrigglers" In heir milk as sulllclcut to convict the nllkniun. The estimate of M.000,000 ob the lumber of men who hnvo lost their Ives In battle during the last hundred iea."rs does not take Into account the Ives lost In the annual battle of the fourth of July. Increased 21.7 per cent. In tho coun try districts their Increase was alout two-thirds as rapid as that of tho white In the wimo nrea, while their lnerease In .Southern towns was live sixths as fast as that of tho whites. In the five Houthern cities having at least 300,000 inhabitants In 1000 the negro population Increased ilo.S per cent from 18JK) to 1000. Ilio white population of the samo cities Increased only J0.8 per cent In the thirty-eight el tic of this' class In continental Tnlted State tho percentage of increase was .'18 for ne groes and iJli.7 for whites. While these llgures do not warrant any serious ap prehension concerning tho increase of tho black raco in tho South, they' strongly confirm tho view that the' negro race must bo regarded as a per manent element in our population. The bulletin shows that In 1000 there were D.iKM.nai blacks In tho United States, Alaska. Hawaii and Porto Hleo, a linger number than Is found In nny other country outside of Africa. In view of those llgures the moral and intellectual Improvement of tho race and the betterment of its Industrial and social condition must continue to engago the thought and activity of somo of tho best minds In this country. Here's another Jilted swain suing a lekle young woman" for breach of iromlse. Wo need this sort of thing nore frequently. The current news Is uttlng quite too solemn and tragic, 'ollllcs and crime wax monotonous, -lore merriment! Some one lias been playing a Joke on he St. James Gazette of London. The Jazette says that an American has In 'en.ted a golf ball which squeaks when t Is lost, and remarks that It Is "an istouudlng Invention." It. is, indeed. )ne is reminded of the Irishman's di 'oellons for luring squirrels: ".Make t noise like a nut." A desire to see his picture In the taper recently prompted an 8-year-old toy in Massachusetts to set a lire that leslroyed property worth ."J0,(KH). The ,inbition failed in this Instance. There h a hint hero for the newspapers that Maintain rogues' galleries. No doubt aitorlely fosters crime In those whose (itelleets are only children's sl.e. The ocean dory-trip business cannot o reported as successful when the nan who crosses the sea in a nineteen 'oot dory has to return as a steerage toward on n Atlantic liner. The eckless voyager did net profit by his enture to support himself while Jiroad. The trip from lfoston to Mar- ellle-s may have scorned to him a path vuy to fame and comparative wealth, nit It hail a steerage at Its end. Kail- ire In such nn exploit Is a life -saving cstilt. It will discourage the over fcnturesome. The wonderful Helen Keller hns graduated from ItadclllTe College, Cam bridge, with the degree of bachelor of arts. It was recently stated that she was on the verge of nervous prostra tion, due according to one account to excessive mental application and ac cording to another to failure to pass the final examinations. From the fact that she not only received the degree, but also the distinction "cum lauile" and that she was present during the graduation exercises apparently In ex cellent henlth and spirits it may fairly bo inferred that she not only passed the examinations, but stood higher than most of her classmates I'rob- ably she labored under nervous excite ment while undergoing her examina tions, due to extraordinary mental ef fort and anxiety, and nervous (jollnpse may have been feared by her friends. There will bo general find sincere re joicing now that the fears are known to have been groundless. The case of tills young woman Is vlthout a paral-. lei In the history of mental achieve ment. The story of her triumph over dllllcultles seemingly Insurmountable Is almost incredible. Without sight! and without hearing from the ago o al ear and a half she yet gained such a knowledge of the external world as to suggest the existence of a Intent and unknown sense or senses almost univalent to both sight and hearing. How without the aid of these senses she could come to understand and ap preciate literature dependent for most of Its beauty upon their exercise Is nU most beyond comprehension. Yet her own writings auoni anunuani prooi of her understanding and apprecia tion, and her success in acquiring lan guages and in mustering the studies of college course afford still further proof to those who realize how far the comprehension of such things seems to depend upon the possession of the senses which she does not pos sess. Only those who have had to do with the blind aim the. deaf can real ize the enormous dllllcultles which tills young woman, who Is both, has had to overcome in gaining the knowledge which entitles her to her bachelor's degree. Very admirable are the In sight, the skill and the unwearying pa tience of Miss Sullivan. .Miss Keller's devoted and inseparable companion, friend and teacher, but more wonder ful Is the triumph of the young wom an who can neither see nor hear, even though achieved with the help of one so remarkably capable and devoted as .Miss Sullivan.
