that the Coast trip is directly within your reach at a far less cost
than any other extensive journey can possibly be made. May 6th
to 13th, only $50.00 to California and back, and commencing
May 20th, through the summer, only $50.00 to Seattle and back;
for $15.00 more you can include California. One makes a tour of
from 5,000 to 6,000 miles through a wonderland replete with
modern interest, linked with a romantic past.

and Superior and intermediate points,
thus relieving the through train to
the Black Hills and Wyoming.
The local service between Lincoln
and Fremont will be improved. The
morning train will leave Lincoln at
7:30 a. m., instead of 7 a. m., making
same connection for Omaha and Chi

12:30 P.M., arriving at Norfolk Jet.
5:30 P. M., Omaha 10:30 P. M.
This is in addition to the train ser
vice now in ueffect, and provides a
service of three daily trains between
Omaha, Norfolk Jet. and Long Pine,
and two between Omaha and Chad
ron.
Another improvement in the ser
vice is the change in the schedules of
train 404 from the Rosebud country
to Omaha, which will leave Dallas
10:50 A. M., daily except Sunday, in
stead of 12:3o P, M., and will arrive at
Norfolk Jet. at 5:20 P. M. to connect
with No. 8, arriving at Omaha 10:30
P. M.
On the W’estern Division one of the
principal features will be train No. 2,
which will leave Lander 6:00 A.M.,
instead of 7:30 A. M , daily, and will
have a sleeping car Chadron to Omaha
arriving Omaha U:10 A. M., making
through connection with train No.

No. 6 will leave Deadwood a half hour
later, 0:30 P. M., instead of 6:00 P. M.
giving an opportunity for supper be
fore starting, arriving Omaha as at
present.
lh is bellevrd that the announdc
ment of this new service will be re
ceived with popular approval, proving
of much value and assistance in pro
viding for the growing requirements
of the North Western patrons and in
keeping puce wilii the rapid progress
and[Comercial development of the ter
ritory tributhry to that line west of
the Missouri River.
For further details, apply to any
ticket agent of the Chicago & North

LIVING H0RR0R8L "
Men Made to Look Like Beasts by
Chinese Methods.
To transfer a man Into a beast would
at first seem to be Impossible. It Is ac
complished, however, by the Chinese,
to whom nothing seems to be un
known. The skin Is removed In small
particles from the entire surface of the
body, and to the bleeding parts bits of
the hide of living animals, bears and
dogs, are usually applied. The opera
tion requires years for its full accom
plishment. After the person has had
his skin completely changed and be
comes a man-bear or a man-dog he Is
made mute to complete the Illusion
and also deprive him of the means of
informing the public he Is intended to
amuse of hls long torture. A Chinese
Journal, the Hupao, prints a descrip
tion of one of these human animals
exhibited in the Klangsl. His entire
body was covered with dog skin. He
stood erect (although sometimes the
feet are so mutilated that the beast Is
forced to walk on all fours), could not
utter articulate sounds, rise and sit
down—in short, make the gestures of a
human being. A mandarin who heard
of this monstrosity had him brought to
his palace, where hls hairy skin and
bestial appearance caused quite as
much terror as surprise. Upon being
asked if he was a man the creature
replied with an affirmative nod. He
also signified in the same manner that
he would write. A pencil was given
him, but he could not use It, hls hands
were so deformed. Ashes were then
placed on the ground In front of him,
when the man-dog, leaning over, trac
ed in them five characters Indicating
hls name and district. Investigation
showed thnt he had been stolen, im
prisoned for years and subjected to
long tortures. Hls master was appre
hended and condemned to death.—

A CHEERFUL OUTLOOK.
Making It Pleasant For the 8tudioua
Traveler.
An English tourist traveling on foot
through one of our mountainous re
glous, studying the people, asked a
man whom he met to direct him to
a certain cabin at which he had been
advised to stay overnight. “Going
thar?” said the man. "Well, Tom’s a
first rater, take him Just right, but he’s
mighty queer.”
“What do you mean?” asked the
traveler.
“Well, It’s like this,” and the man
looked at the stranger In a calm. Im
personal way. “He’ll be setting out
side, most probably, and he’ll see you
coming. He’ll take a good look at
you, und ef you don’t suit him he may
set the dog on you.
“Ef he don’t and you get to talking
with him and say anything he don’t
just like he may throw you down and
tromp on you. But ef you’re too care
ful in your talk, on the other hand,
he’s liable to take you for a spy and
use his gun fust and listen to expla
nations afterward.
“But It’s no use trying to get by
without stopping,” concluded the man,
with evident relish of the prospect he
was opening up to the stranger. “Ef
you was to undertake that ’twould be
all up with you, for he’d think you
was proud and biggetty.
“Ef you want to come out of the
mountain whole, don’t go past Tom’s
cabin without stopping, whatever you
do!”—Youth’s Companion.
Ths Unemployed.
Lack of employment is not a new
question. Says the Liverpool Mercury
of Feb. 14, 1812: “It Is of the highest
Importance that a committee of the
legislature should Immediately Inquire
Into the causes of the present want of
employment among the laboring class
es and whether means might not be
found In a nation of which the reve
nue Is Immense by which a succession
of public works,” etc. There were at
that time 10,000 unemployed in Liver
pool. The same writer after asking
“Is war the only employment that the
state has to give the poor?” goes on to
show’ that the pyramids of Egypt and
the “elegant edifices of Greece” were
built with the object of “giving con
tinual employment to the laborer.”
Women's Work and Infant Mortality.
In eight industrial towns, where the
proportion of married women of child
bearing age at work In the factories
was 43 per cent, the Infant mortality
rate for ten years averaged 182 per
1,000. In eight Industrial towns of a
different type, where the proportion of
married women at work was only 3
per cent, the Infant mortality was only
150 per 1,000. The excessive rate In
the first group Is not due to bad wages
nor to bad conditions, but to the ab
sence of the mother.—London Post.
A Financial Genius.
“Pa, will you please tell me what a
financial genius Is?”
“A financial genius, my child. Is a
man who can spend money that he
has never had and which the people
who think they are getting It will
never see.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
His Music.
Mrs. Nagger—The noise you make at
night Is very unpleasant music. Mr.
Nagger—Do you call snoring music?
Mrs. Nagger—I should say so—sheet
music arranged for the bugle.—Chica
go Itecord-Herald.
Talleyrand’s Reply.
Napoleon once said to Talleyrand, “I
wish I had the keys to hell, for I could
then put you In there.” The reply was,
"It would be better, sire, that I should
have them, for then I could let you
out”
He who knows,, little soon tells It.—
