An exchange puls it thusly: When you talk about there being a better state than Nebraska, every potato winks its eyes, every cabbage shakes its head,' every beet gets red in the face, every onion is' strong, every oat Held is shocked, tbe rye strokes its beard, the corn pricks up its ears, and every foot of ground kicks. The Boaton Comic Opera Company played “The Mascot” at the opera hotiae last Monday night to a comparatively ■lim house. The company carries eight een people and several -of them are artists. The company is the beat that has played in O’Neill for years and those of our people who missed it have some thing to be sorry for. Miss Myrtle DeYarman returned Tues day from a two weeks’ visit at Black Bird. A surprise party was given in honor of her Tuesday evening at which about twenty of her young friends were present. Refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cake and watermelon were served. The occasion was fraught with much pleasure to those who were fortu nate enough to be present. Leigh World: Clyde King, the brainy young editor of the O’Neill Frontier, poked the thoru into the machine's side in artistic style last week. A tew Holt county “republicans” have made them selves notorious for their dirty work in the past and King strikes the right cord when he says "the best way to assist republicanism is to do a little house cleaning.” Touch them tenderly again, Clyde. _________ Ralph Evans, Steve O'Donnell, Rafe King and Harry Dowling while doing a little fast time at the fair grounds last Tuesday evening on their, wheels got tangled up somewhat and in consequence are now wrapped in winding sheets of court plaster, with the exception of Mr. Dotfling, who went unscathed. The boys sustained no serious injuries but they are devoid of much skin in places where skin ought to grow. Treasurer Mullen, Cleric Bethea, and Supervisors Blondin, Mack, Stillwell, Combes, Hopkins, Moore and Moss went down to Omaha Sunday morning to appear in the United States court and show cause why mandamus should not issue compelling them to pay the judg ment against Holt county secured by the National Life Insurance Company for 14,986.98.

He visited the states of Mon tana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Cali fornia, Wyoming and the Dakotas. At Butte, Montana, he met a number of former O’Neill oeople, among them being Dick Dwyer and Phil Sullivan. He says they all have lucrative positions nnd are prospering. He also met* 'Gene Norton in Idaho. ’Gene is working in the mines, and judging from the photo graph that Mr. Hazelett brought back J the world has gone well with him. The meanest man reported to date lives in a neighboring town, aaye the Shelton Clipper. He ia aaid to be con tinually making fun of hia wife’a love for houae plants, and often grumbles oyer the extra care and expense of keep ing them from freezing over winter. The other day he surprised her by bring ing home and presenting her with what he called a Chinese cactus. It was in reality a dead rat which the man had planted head downward in a flower-pot. The tail of the rat alone appeared above the ground, and was carefully trained to a wooden support. The man’s wife was delighted with the rare plant. 8he placed It in a sunny nook and caretully watered and watched it. But nary a bud ap peared. The denouement came when the lady undertook to transplant the ‘'cac tus” to a large pot. North Bead Republican: The Chicago Lumber Company hu sold its yard at this piece to the Walrath Lumber Com pany of Atkinaon. Mr. Watson will re main at the yard for a few day* to give the new agents an opportunity to get their hand In.

Tan Frontier acknowledges a pleasant call from Mr. Willis, who, by the way, is a candidate for the republican nomination for representatire in bis district—com posed of Knox and Boyd Counties-* and thinks he will be succeuful. Mr. Willis would be a credit to his district if sent to the legislature. * Walt Mason: Although we have been, for more than a year, advising people to uee Nebraska chicory, it was only re cently that we tried the stuff ourselves. We were going to drive to Wymore, and before leaving Beatrice called at a gro cery store to get some smoking tobacco; seeing some handsome red packages be hind the counter, we threw down a nickel with all that princely abandon for which some people are celebrated, and the clerk handed over one of the packages. We supposed that it was a I new brand of smoking tobacco. After driving about .five miles .on the way to Wymore we drew forth our family pipe and the red package, and proceeded to fill the former. When we tore off the end of the wrapper on the package, we thought the contents the jlmtwistedest tobacco we ever saw; It didn't look or amell like tobacco, but we filled the pipe with it and tried to smoke. The taste of that blamed stuff is with us as we j write; it will haunt us when we die; It will make us roll over in the grave. Chicory is all right to mix with your ! coffee, but it’s the worst substitute for tobacco in the country. State Journal: It is a matter of sur prise that the universality of the bicycle has not produced an extensive vernacu lar. As a matter of fact, the “slang” expressions in general use are but few. “Bike” is simply an-abominable abbre viation of bicycle. Cyclist is a legiti mate and comprehensive word, that is shorter than wheelman, or wheelwonUm. In France the latter is called a “blcy clienne." In far away New Zealand the awful word “cyclodonna” has been coined as a substitute for wheel woman. In many western towns the fair rider is called a "bloomer" without regard to her costume. Hie word “scorcher.” as indicating a speedy cyclist, is fairly en grafted upon the language. In Chicago, however the "scorcher” Is called a “scoot.” The technicalities of the ma chine have led to attempts upon the part of young men to coin expressions. “Your tire is punctured” indicates that the story you are telling lacks the prob able element of truth. Beckless state menu are\called “coasting.” A very anoient yarn is not a “chestnut” but a “century.” A young couple sharing a mutual fondness are "riding tandem.” A man leading a fast life is “geared too high.” An old fogy is referred to as a “high wheel.” A chaperon is known as a "peacemaker.” A cheap bicycle is called a “gaspipe” machine. A profes sional racer is a “pro.” SHUT-WAIST!. The newest shirt-waists are tucked across the fronts the depth of a yoke, and have a corresponding number of tucks running around the tops of the sleeves in a direct line from those in the yoke; and a very novel one has the whole sleeve tuckei upside down in half-inch tucks, every tuck falling out slightly, from its own weight. There is a new lining called ribbon-cloth, which has a pretty gloss, and comes in all the delicate colors and is very suitable for using under organdies and lawns, when taffeta Is too expensive. The blouse fronts and puffed sleeve tops of organdy and lawn gowns are given a novel effect by Insertions of lace run in diamond form all oyer them. It requires dainty fingers and patience to do the work, but the effect is so pretty and unique that it pays.—From“Revlew of Faehions,” in Demorest’s Magaslne for July. TH1 WXATHXK.
