Nemaha Advertiser W. W. GANDERS, PuousHcn Nemaha, - Nebraska Graft seems to bo Indigenous to all places and all climes. Kussln Is short of Bliolls. When it shells out It will bo shorter.

A woman may bo afrrtld of a mouse, but she Isn't afraid to undertake to boss a man for life who Is twice her nlzo. It's a good thing for kings and rulers In Europo that the bomb-throwing fra ternity know nothing of the game of baseball. It Is highly humiliating to a man who thinks ho knows It all to And himself accepted without question as a Juryman. That Now York man who slecpB fifty days at a clip ought to bo In great de mand as a dummy director In those high finance corporations. A single letter makes a big differ ence. Part of tho Russian navy Is in terred In the Japan Sea and another part interned at Manila. King AlfoiiHo refused to bo worried over that bomb incident In Paris. Ho probably thought It was Just the French way of making him feel at home. The Czar has given Governor Gen eral Trepoff power to suppress the rev olutionists. Tho Governor General now has a Job at which, If he works faithfully, ho can earn his salary. If tho wife of the German crown prince has the same trouble In keeping her crown on straight with hatpins that tho ordinary woman has with her hat she Is entitled to a great deal of sympathy. After reading tho descriptions of the bridal trousseau of the Duchess Ce cilia the average woman will bo un able to see any reason why she should not bo perfectly happy. Tho man don't count any more, anyhow. Alfonso, recently appointed a gen oral in the English army, is the first Spanish king that over set foot in En gland. If he will come over here we will try to get him an honorary ap pointment as colonel on the staff of some governor. That tho activities of the coyote in the West Influence tho price of mutton in tho East' is one of the conclusions flerlvablo from a study recently made by tho Department of Agriculture; for the pariah of tho plains is fond of mut ton, and where coyotes are numerous Bheop-raising languishes. Science In those dayd Is discovering many such cases of Interdependence. I 1 Out of tho wreck and ruin Russia will come less arrogant, much meeker and all tho better for being thrashed It will probably no longer seek to play tho role of shapor of world destinies, but tho world will be nono tho worse for that Tho chief mission of Rus sla will bo to reshape its own Institu tions, and If this Is done wlsoly the war will be viewed as a Russian bless ing before the end of tho present cen tury. No one needs to be told that thoro 1r Iron in the blood, but It has remain ed for a French chemist, Monsieur Barruel, head of tho chemical labora tories of Paris, to make commercial use of i tho fact. IIo used to practice medicine, and was Accustomed to bleed his patients In tho old-fashioned way. lie extracted tho iron from tho blood drawn from human arms and kept It in the form of minute globulcB or pearls. At last ho had enough to make an iron ring, which he wears on one of his lingers. In the shocking cases of perfidy and of unfaithfulness to tho marriage vow among our wealthier classes, the root of the matter lies, as In so many other sorts of sin, in Idleness. The absence of strenuous, compulsory occupation Is in itself a temptation to crime. Tho idle man or woman whose sole lnterost in life is tho pursuit of pleasure Inev itably becomes Bated with Its different forms. All of tho ingenuity which can bo expended upon Inventions of new sorts of food, new ways of serving, now entertainments, roally avails lit tle. After nil is said and dono a ban quet Is only a banquet, a cotillon la only a cotillon, and even operas and theaters after a fow years begin to seem strangely and dully alike. A new emotion, a new sensation something which money cannot buy this bo comes tho only fresh and dcslrabl thing on earth. With tho arrival of the commence ment period this year there come tho annual protests from various quarters over tho tendency toward adopting a profession nlready overcrowded, tho line of argument being based on tlia point from which the situation Is con sidered. Among those to sound a noto of distress Is tho Engineering News, wlilch suggests that if the movement in tho direction of strictly technical Instruction continues there Is a llkcii Iiood that tho profession of engineer ing will bo seriously overcrowded. Tho samo sentiments aro shared by tho le gal profession, tho medical profession and others whoso members view with ularm the army of graduates turned out annually, and who marvel that tho aspirants for professional honors did not pursue somo of tho other branches which to them appear to furnish great er opportunities. Within tho last few years there bos been an undeniable tendency toward adopting otic of a half dozen professions. Doctors and dentists, lawyers and engineers, havo ben turned out In wholosalo numbers, and their number Increases in greater proportions annually. That this ten dency should bo viewed with alarm is not surprising, although much of the fear appears to bo unwarranted. Tho opportunities to-day may not be as great as formerly, but they are still thoro for tho man possessed of ability and willing to labor for bucccss. Com petition Is tho strongest spur to tho ambitious Individual. Tho one- who can perform his allotted duties mora satisfactorily than can his fellow man finds his services In greater demand. With tho employment of his faculties comes a development of talents that Increases his value and secures his po sition In tho professional world. The laggard must fall behind, however slight tho strife for existence. Of all the men who leave educational Institu tions each year only a certain percen tage make a success In life, but It would be incorrect to attribute all the failures to tho overcrowding of the profession adopted. The man deter mined to win gains recognition; tho one contented to drift along remains In obscurity and views with alarm tho advent of more ambitious persons Into the field, which be has neglected. Two lines of discussion ore suggest ed by tho comment of President James of the University of Illinois upon col lege athletics, one relating to the effect of training upon those who take part In Intercollegiate sports and tho othei to tho general influence of such sports upon the habits and pastimes of tho whole body of students. It Is an old story that excessive training Is Injuri ous, and it is frequently said Unit the college athletes Instead of showing exceptional physical vigor after gradu ation appear to suffer from a loss of vitality. President James is reported to have mode an investigation into this branch of the subject, but we have only his generalizations, not the statistics upon which they are based. At most, however, only a relatively small number of students aro affected by tho overtraining, and while theli cxpeiienco may servo as a warning and call for regulation, It does not de termine the more Important question of tho Influence that Is exerted by ath letics on the college life. But Presi dent James states the case as though the devotion of the few to a sort of professionalism excluded tho many from rational exorcise. Ho says: A score of men in college after untold hardships are picked to represent tho college on a football team. They ore kept under continuous strain for months. All tho rest of tho collego men pluy merely the port of "rooters," tak ing no exorciso at all. Tho great wrong hero Is that tho Incentive o general and most desirable athletic work on a sane scale Is lost. That may be a fair description of present conditions, but not many years ago there wos a great string of candidates for every university contest, and the competition between classes not only developed the class crews, nines nnd, elevens, but led t,o a wldo participation In tho preliminary practice work. Ir other words, all tills competition nf forded tho general incentive, and tlw Idea of exclusion is a difficult one tc grasp, except In so far as it refers to the choice of candidates. The merd rooter might take exercise if ho wouldj and he woilld probably be lndifforenl to any incentlvo except somo form 0 compulsion. It is pertinent to ask, therefore, what tho now incentlvo li to bo. At the smno time it would ap pear that tho most regrettable feature of tho recent developments is a grow ing tendency to professionalism as 11 ' Is seen in the employment of coachRj mid tho scramblo for good athletic ma terial. The spirit proper to colleg sport is being sacrificed to tho over whelming desire for victory. Court may be depended upon t sustain taxes, but on all other matter! it 1b a trues.

Grntltudo Woll Expronsod. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Aug. 14. Mr. C. L. Smith, pointer and decorator, whose homo Is at 309 Anne street, this city, makes tho following statement: "I was laid up with some kind of polns. Some said It was Lumbago, others Sciatica, and others again Rheu matism. A few of my friends suggest ed that it was lead poison, but what ever It was it gave me a great deal of pain, In fact, almost completely crip pled mo. I had to use two canes to walk obout and even then it was a very painful task. "A friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and I began the treat ment. After I had used the first box I was ablo to throw away one of tho canes and was considerably improved. The second box straightened me up so that I could go about free from pain without any assistance and very soon after I was completely cured, well and happy, without a pain or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed to go right to the spot in my case and they will always have my greatest praise."

HEART RIGHT When He Quit ColTce. Life Insurance Companies will not Insure a man suffering from heart trou ble. The reason is obvious. This is a serious matter to the hus band or father who is solicitous for the future of his deur ones. Often tho heart trouble Is caused by an unexpect ed thing and can be corrected If taken In time and properly treated. A man In Colorado writes: "I was a great coffee drinker for many yeurs, and was not aware of tho Injurious effects of tho habit till I be came a practical Invalid, suffering from heurt trouble, indigestion and nervousness to an extent that made mo wretchedly miserable myself and a nuisance to those who witnessed my sufferings. "1 continued to drink Coffee, how ever, not suspecting that it was tho cause of my Ill-health, till, on applying for life Insurance I was rejected on account of the troublo with my heart. Then I became alarmed. I found that leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so I quit It altogether and having been attracted by the advertisements of Posturu Food Coffee I began Its use. "The change In my condition was re markable, and it was not long till I was completely cured. All my ail ments vanished. My digestion was completely restored, my nervousness disappeared, and. most important of all, my heurt steadied down and be came normal, and on a second examina tion I was accepted by the life Insur ance company. 'Quitting Coffee and using Postum worked the cure." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason, and It is explained in the little took, "The Road to Well ville," in each pkg.

"' iiiu iroiiuio is locatcu. anero aro many quaint characters in tho mountain portions of the Stute. Of course there are not many people who remember 'Parson' Hopkins, who was given a sent In Congress a number of yenrs ago over Joe Kendall, whose fa ther hod been In Congress before his son attempted to get there. " 'Parson' Hopkins was a Baptist minister In the Tenth District njjj. was much loved by his people. The Re publicans knew that he would bo the only person who could win In a con te?t for the place, und so they nominal od. him. It was many days before the chairman of tho district Republi can organization could find out wheie. the parson wns. At last he was lo cated away up in a mountain county conducting n camp meeting. lie re fused to discuss politics until he con cluded his meetings, three days later. Many Democrats who had never cast a Republican vote put In ballots for 'Parson Hopkins and became insulted if they were told they had voted Ro publican. 'We arc voting Baptist' was the way they put It. "Joe Kendall had tried every way possible to get 'Parson' Hopkins into a joint debate, but the parson would not consent. One day the parson went into a town where Kendall was to hold a meeting nnd unexpectedly ran Into Kendall. The latter promptly cnal leiiged the parson to joint debate and Mi. Hopkins reluctantly consented. His terms, however, were that he" should have tho opening. The Demo crats were rejoiced and declared that Kendall would wallop 'Parson' Hop kins roundly. At 1 o'clock, the hour set for the joint debate to begin, the parson wns introduced by the chair man. 'Parson' Hopkins opened the meeting with prayer, then read n lqng selection from the Bilne. Finally he entered upon his speech. When dark came he was still speaking, by which lime nearly all the men had gone to their homes to look after their cattle, horses, etc., and as no arrangement had been made for lighting the meet ing place Kendall never did got a chance to respond to the opening. Tho joke was on Kendall." Washington Star. Errors a Cyolopediu. A mnn who has done a great deal of work In correcting some large dic tionaries, encyclopedias and historical reference works, 'who has studied ten languages and who Is woll Informed on a number of foreign lands, exam ined over 115,000 pages of an encyclo pedia recently published In this coun try. Much of the work he did with out the publisher's knowledge. Though this encyclopedia was con sidered to hove been edited carefully, ho discovered over 3,000 mistakes in the first volume alone. In the follow ing volumes he found many thou sands.
