A query as to the propriety of plac
ng toothpicks on the table. It is not
tow considered good form to do so.
Chey may be placed on the sideboard^,
>ut their use should be relegated to

was always a disgusting operation. If
me should sit at the table and clean

Whether you talk with your neigh
bor or stranger at home or abroad,
riding or walking always have a good
word for your town. Speak of the
beautiful homes, the nice streets, the
jxcellency of the surrounding country
ind the intelligence and enterprise of
irour neighbors. Stand by your town
through thick and thin as you would
stand by your best friend in time of
distress and you will find it prosper
bus and thriving as never before.

According to life-insurance statis
tics, the average of man’s life has in
creased 5 per cent during the past
twenty-five years The people get
the benefit of the life and the insur

The prosperity of our country de
pends so largely on the prosperty of
our farmers, that everything possible
should be done to render life in the
rural districts agreeable as well as
profitable, and nothing could conduce
more to the comfort and happiness of
our people than the Improvement of
roads.
Fight your own battles. Hoe your
own row. Ask no favor of anyone,
and you'll succeed a thousand times
better than one who is alwavs be
seeching some one’s interest and
patronage. No one will ever help you
as you help yourself, because no one
will be so heartily interested in your
affairs, thejtirst step will not be such
a long one, perhaps; by carving your
own way up the mountain each step
leads tq another, and stand while you
chop still another out.
The O’Neill National bank re
ceived a new safe last Monday and
now has one of tiie most modern bur
glar prpof safes in use in this part of
Lite state. The safe is a Manard Man
ganese steel, weighing two tons and
costs $1,0000 and is absolutely burglar
proof. Burglars have been tapping
banks pretty regularly throughout the
state the past couple of years hut
they will probably pass up O’Neill as
all the banks here are now pro
tected with moder safes
Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Waid left Mon
day morning for Missouri, where they
will visit relatives until after the
holidays and will then go on to Cali
fornia where they will put in the
the country agrees with them, re
turning to O’Neill next fall. T. T.
says that old Holt county has treated
him very nicely since he came here
and they could not think of making
his home elsewhere, but believes that
he is entitled to a good rest and
thinks that sunny California is a good
place to go for rest and recreation.
A wisely conducted newspaper is
like a banquet, says an exchange.
Everything is served out with a view
to charity, nelp yourself to what you
want and do not condemn the entire
spread because pickles and onions
may be Included. If you do not relish
them somobody may find them palat
able. He generous and broad enough
to select gracefully such reading mat
ter from a newspaper as will be agree
able to your taste, You, as an indi
vidual,{are not compelled to swallow
everything. We do not all think alike
on every subject and it is a good thing
as it makes more variety, and variety
is the spice of existence
The remark is often made by visit
ors to our town that it is a prosperous,
thriving town. Traveling men es
pecially, speak of the amount of bus
iness done here. The reasons for these
remarks are: That the grain and
stock buyers pay the highest prices
that the markets afford, often a good
deal better prices than are paid in the
neighboring towns. To the merchants
also is due a share of the credit.
They carry large and well selected
stocks, bought in large quantities at
close figures for cash, and give their
customers the advantages of the cut
prices. Nothing helps to build up a
town more than live energetic busin
ess men.
The dozens of householders who
bowed their backs an stiffened their
musoles by snow-shoveling Tuesday
morning had one oonsolation, It was a
fine blanket |for the winter wheat.
Many of them were inclined to call out
where are rhe police, when they fin
ished their own tasks and started
downtown. As usual only about half
of the walks were cleaned off, and be
fore evening the snow was packed so
tight on the neglected ones that it will
require dynamite to remove it. Unless
the sun does its duty these walks will
remain covered for weeks. Later
Marshal Coyne got busy Tuesday
afternoon with a snow plow of his
own invention and cleaned off all the
walks in town.
The big public question, this year
will be road improvement. It seems
strange that there would be any "op
position party” to those who want
better roads, but if you think there is
no opposition, start a road campaign
in your locality and find out. As a
matter of fact, the road problem is of
far more importance to the farmer
than either the tariff or silver ques
tions. A good road costs money. It
is a business investment requiring a
large outlay of cash at first, and the
interest on this Investment comes
back not only directly in the form of
cash, but indirectly, as the farmer
along the road is able to save horse
power in hauling his crops to market.
The chief question is, bow is the
money to be raised? Who is to handle
and pay it out? It is a financial
matter rather than a question of en
gineering skill. It ought to be debat
ed and re-debated in every schoolhouse
in the land.
