On account of the red bridge being out, the farmers living southwest on the Cache Creek have to go east and cross south of town.

This is a serious mistake the farmers make, they do not prepare fire guards. Every year thous inds of dol lars are wasted through gross careless ness, not only property, but oft times lives are lost. It does not take much exertion and is no expense to plow a furrow or two and burn a rod of prairie around a section which would prevent this wanton waste. Last Friday afternoon during a slight shower a bolt of lightning came down, striking the barn of Bert Dex ter, killing two horses and setting the barn on tire. The building was a story and a half frame structure with the loft partly filled with hay which instantly ignited and was soon ablaze. The fire lads responded to the alarm, but the building being located too far out to be reached by the city water their efforts to check the llames soon proved hopeless and they turned their attention to saving the home, in which they succeeded. No insurance was on the buildings or horses and the loss will fall heavily on Mr. Dex ter.—The Graphic. ■ ■■ m ■■ ■ Makes A Clean Sweep. There’s nothing like doing a thing thoroughly.

All Tiling?* Are to Be Had If One Will lint Pay the Equivalent. Life consists almost wholly of buy ing, selling, paying. There are no gifts, nothing that does not call for an equivalent. If we cannot pay for gifts in kind we must pay in gratitude or service or we shall rank ns moral bank rupts. If I would have a good situation 1 must pay for it not only in labor, bul In promptness, intelligence, faithful ness and f*x>d manners. If I would have good service I must pay not only In money, but In consideration, recog nition, appreciation, fairness. I can hold no one to me if I misuse him. All things are to be had for the buy ing. Would you have friends? Then pay the price. The price of friendship Is to be worthy of friendship. The price of glory is to do something glori ous. The price of shame is to do some thing shameful. Friendship, glory, honor, admiration, courage, Infamy, contempt, hatred, art all In the market place for sale at a price. We are buying and selling these things constantly as we will. Even beauty is for sale. Plain women can gain beauty by cultivating grace, ani mation, pleasant speech, Intelligence, helpfulness, courage or good will. Beauty Is not in the features alone; it is in the soul also. Good will buys good will, friendli ness buys friendship, confidence be gets confidence, service rewards serv ice, and hate pays for hate, suspicion for suspicion, treachery for treachery, contempt for ingratitude, slovenliness, laziness and lying. Wre plant a shrub, a rosebush, an or chard, with the expectation that they will pay us back. We build roads, mend harness and patch the roof with the same expectation. We will trust even these unconscious things to pay their debts. Some of our investments are good and some are bad. The good qualities we acquire—moderation, industry, cour tesy, order, patience, candor—are sound investments. Our evil institutions and habits are bad Investments, involving us In losses.

Professor Trombetti, whose praises were so much sung in the foreign press as knowing the greatest number of , languages of any one ever born, relates an anecdote of himself which occurred Just after he was “discovered.” In Home lie was so pestered by Journal feds that hts patience at last gave way, and when cornered by the gentlemen of the press his language became dis tinctly lurid. One day as he was coming out of the central postotllce a frank looking young man stepped up to him, and, holding out his hand, said: “I am so i glad to make your acquaintance; X have been trying to find you for days.” “And may X Inquire with whom I am speaking?” “Why, I am X! Not u near relation to be sure, but near enough to offer you congratulations,” etc. Professor Trombetti, reassured, and glad to gut hold of some one to unburden himself to, took the stran ger's arm, and, as they went down the street, gave, ip emphatic terms, a description of his sufferings, his opin ion of Journalists, and, incidentally, much information about hlinself which the papers had been vainly sighing for. Finally they parted with an engage ment for diuner the next evening. That night the professor was sitting tranquilly in n restaurant, the observed of nil observers, when suddenly he was seen to spring to hts feet with a smoth ered exclamation. His friends crowded about for nn explanation, but he could only sit down weakly and point to bis newspaper, the Giornale d’ltalia. There, in large print, were his impru dent revelations of the afternoon. lie had been “done” by a Journalist—Pall Mall Gazette. THE PERFECT NUMBER. Prom Time Immemorial Three Has Had Unununl Siffnlflcaviee. The perfect number of the Pythago rean system, expressive of beginning, middle and end, was the number three. From time immemorial greater promi nence has been given to it than to any other except seven. And as the symbol of the Trinity its influence has waxed more potent in recent times. It appears over and over again in both the New and Old Testaments. At the creation of the world we find land, water and sky, sun, moon and stars. Jonah was three days and nights in the whale's belly, Christ three days in the tomb. There were three patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Abraham entertained three angels. Job had three friends. Samuel was called three times. Sam son deceived Delilah three times. Three times Saul tried to kill David with a Javelin. Jonathan shot three ar rows on David’s behalf. Daniel was thrown into a den of three lions be cause he prayed three times a day. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were rescued from a fiery furnace. The commnndments of the Lord were de Uvered on the third day. St Paul speaks of faith, hope and charity. Three wise men came to worship Christ with presents three. Christ spoke three times to Satan when he was tempted. He prayed three times before he was betrayed. Peter denied him three times. He suffered three hours of agony on the cross. The su perscription was in three languages, and three men were crucified. Christ appeared three times to his disciples and rose the third day.—New York Herald.

Do you walk down dark alleys when you go downtown? Beware! Those are the symptoms. You’re busted .—San Francisco Bulletin. French Conceit. Etienne Dumont, writing in the early part of the last century, said: “The prevailing character of the French is that of conceit Every member of the assembly considered himself capable of undertaking everything. I often said that if you proposed to the first hundred men you met In the streets of Paris and to the same number In the streets of London to undertake the charge of the government ninety-nine of them would accept In Paris and ninety-nine would refuse In London.” The Tibetan Conscience. The Tibetans offer daily prayer* for the minute Insects which they have swallowed Inadvertently In their meat and drink, and the formula insures the rebirth of these microbes in heaven. Yet they eat meat freely and square their conscience with their appetite by the pretext that the sin rests with the outcast assassin, the public butcher, who will be born In the next incarna tion as some tantalized spirit or agon ized demon. That, however, is his own affair. Optical Indecisions The Daughter—No, mother, dear, I could not marry Mr. Smith. He squints.

SWEET PRUNE PLUM September 1, 1003, three bushels of plums were picked from one live year old tree in E. D. Hammond’s orchard of Sweet Prune plums. The tree com menced to bear two years after plant ing and is bearing every year. It is the only Prune Plum that has been a success with me and 1 have tried many kinds. It stood the dry years, 1893 and 1894, and the hard winter of 1899 and bore fruit the following sea son. It is a grand success for North eastern Nebraska. It is a dark purple in color, large size, skin can be easily removed and can be pitted like a free stone peach. They are excellent for canning and preserves and are so sweet that they require very little sugar. I sold this plum at 82.50 to $3.00 a bushel the past season when other varieties of sour plums were selling for 75 cents to a $1.00 a bushel. It has taken lirst premium at the Lincoln State fair, and limbs ana brances loaded with plums, shipped to the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, New York, were shown in the Nebraska fruit exhibt that took one of the gold medals. I also received an honorable mention dipioma on this plum from the Pan-American exposi tion. We believe this plum has more good vualities, and is the best plum in existance for this whole northwestern country. If you plant some of these trees you will be well paid. We have a choice tine lot of five to six foot trees to seel for the Spring of 1905. These treets were grown from grafts cut off these bearing treets that bore these plums, and they will bear fruit at two or three years old if planted and are sute to be genuine. If you want some of these trees send your order early and get the best plum in existence. Trees five to six feet $1.25 each; $12.00 per dozon. Six trees for $0.00. The only way you can be sure of gettitg this plum true to name grafted from my bearing trees is to send your order direct to me. Trees delivered free to any rail road town.
