THE TRIFLE...
AN Invllatloii to tho wed
ding of fur nwny friends
received llio oIIkt ilny,
recalled to my mind n
subject discussed fit n
gathcilug of Lincoln eo-
plo a few weeks ago ntnl
, referred to Incidentally In
a subsequent Issue of Tiik
Cot'lllKIt, lz: friendship
between persons of oppo
site sex. At the gathering
I KH'llk Of, (18 tllOMI who
road Tiik TniKl.Kli may
remember, the men, with
Imnlly nn exception took
tliu oltloii tlmt dHhiriiiK
frlemlfililp that Is, friendship without it
mingling of tlmt tender something we call
lovolietwceii innn and woman In not only
unnatural but well nigh Impossible. The
representatives of tho other hex thought dif
ferently Thoy believed llrmly In man and
woman friendship, and scouted the Idea that
the friendship of n man for a woman must
eventually cool with tho (light of time or else
merge Into that passion which Hllleo Taylor
tells ux is the "hope of every nntlon" and tho
"ruler of tho unherso."
Tho two young peoplo mentioned above
grew t man's nnd woman's estate in tho same
town, htudyiiig In their earlier year, the
multiplication table front the snino book, and
later, In tho transition ienod which comes
after graduation, dancing in tho wtmo "set"
and enjoying tho same companionships the
snino pleasures. They were friends always.
They were the chummiest of chums. Their
simple and unaffected regard for each other
was, 1 nm convinced, never idiaken for nn
Instant, by a hasty word or a thoughtless ac
tion. Uninterruptedly for eighteen years
(lowed tho pleasing waters of perfect friend
ship. Hut, who among their acquaintances
and associates imagined that that sweet
stream would In its placid course some day
emerge from a beautiful valley its waters
turbulent with a new force singing even
sweeter than of yore, tho new song of love?
Surely no one. The experience of my two
friends seems to add weight to tho masculine
arguments.
V
Rut I ant Inclined to think this is an excep
tional instance. There Is certainly genuine
irieudshlp between men and women unmar
ried and tho world is the better for it. That
such friendship is not more general is a pub
lic misfortune tho fault of Biier flclal or
sentimental Individuals. There are men in
whom tho abnormal development of sentl
mentnllsm has left no room for simple, kindly
iegard;meu who must view every woman
with either n violent palpitation of the heart
or it cold indifference. There are women
equally sentimental who can lovu anything
from a dog to it man; women who will go in
to ecstasies over n man with it peachblow
complexion and bestow not even n passing
thought on tho dlguiflcd face of it man with n
soul an intellect. With these effervescent
beings true friendship Is ndmlttiugly well
nigh hnpofklble.
Men itt'd women who think ami reason are
found hero urn) there, how over, and with
these that which Webster describes as "an
attachment to a peruou proceeding from In
timate acquaintance, and a reciprocation of
kind otlices, or from a favorable opinion of
tho amiable and respectable qualities of the
mind," is both general and natural. These
jH'Ojilo ure not continually looking for some
oiio to fall in love with. They see and ap
preciate intellectual qualities in their asso
ciates and make friends according to tho
dictates of their mind and heart.
It is possible to continue a friendship of
this sort indefinitely. It is one of tho prlv
ileges of American civilization. No arbi
trary wall divides the sexes. Boys and girls
are, educated together, youths and maidens
are used to each other's company and men
and women In tho enjoyment of mutual
friendship are elevated and made, letter.
The best friend of many a man Is it woman
and the best friend of many a woman is a
man and whyf Ilecauso men understand
women and women understand men. There
are thousands of cases in which tho liond of
friendship never gives way to tho inatrimon
inl knot. Hut if orange blossoms do occas
ionally end a simple friendship of years,
wlmt's tho difference?
Krom the beautiful autumn edition of tho
Chicago evening Ilemlil is taken the follow
ing oem, which being addren.ed to "Miss K.
Y. HastlngB, Nebraska," will doubtless bo
read with interest. I wonder who Miss "K.
Y." Is?:
The llowers aro bulbing In morning,
Tho sun climbs up tho heavens blue,
While a gentle breeze skims over tho sens
And shake little diamonds from the trees;
Tho vloletsopen their sleepy eyes
And ticxln to flirt with the buttorilles,
Tho duislcs smile, ns tho roses greet,
And tho birds say: "Good morning," ns they
meet.
The Kiinllowers nod In tlielrqucenly grace,
And the morning glory's smiling face
Is turned to tho light mid seems to say:
"(lood-byo to tho night, let us greet the now
day,
And bo happy and cheerful till t'to sun goes
down,
And the moon comoth up with a scowl and a
frown.
And tells us fair children of nature to sleep
While the fnlrle over us vlnlls keep."
-IP. C. K. StttKxch.
Prince tUorge, who has been touring in
Canada, met with an interesting little ad
venture, at Montreal the other day, or lather
the other night. The prince nnd a companion
weie "doing the town" one evening when
they weie attacked by six uskallauts. Evi
dently the young man's education has not
been neglected, for with his own hands he
I til
1 w
brought three of the roughs to the ground.
His friend took cure of two more; the sixth
took to Might, and two of Montreal's smart
Milkeineii, who happened on the scene about
this time, took the whole party to tho city
prison, w here the prince, despite his protesta
tions, was locked In an ordinary cell just the
same as an "ordinary man." Matters were
soon explained, however, ntul tho royal pris
oner was discharged with humblest apologies,
How fortunate that tills did not hapHn on
this side of the Canadian line! If it had we
might, nt this moment l engaged In bloody
war with haughty Kiiglitud for the Insult to
England's royal sou.
Frolicsome Key Templeton is still at her old
tricks. This time I hear of her in "quaint
old I'lillnilelpliln.'' In the Quaker City, you
must know, the jieople are very modest Oh;
so modest. (Ilrlsof ten wear long dresses,
and the city's fair ones seldom even barn their
hnnds. Kvery thing but their pensively Immiu
tlful faces is hidden from the rude gnro of
naughty man. The terrifying lithographs
that variety, burlcsquo and light ojierii com
panies, aro wont to display, have always
given the I'hlladelphlatis cold chills. Homo
citizens refused to leave their homos while
these awlulplcturcsdlsgracedthochasto walls
and fences of "yo anclentclty." After awhile,
however, somebody was struck with a bright
Idea a bright Idea will sometimes strlkoeveu
a Philadelphia)! and thereafter tho authorN
ties never failed to havoastripof paiH-rnhout
six Inches wldo pasted across the objection
able jiortlon of each picture. Theatrical
malingers stormed, but modesty triumphed
nnd tho desclples of Anthony Cumstock
laughed with glee. When Ccriiuio and Kato
Castloton and I.lllle Clay, and Lillian Russell
and all the other airy fulry Lillians came to
town, their beautifully coloied ixirtrnitsnnd
pictures were always mutilated. Each of
tho fair creatures was cut in two by that ar
bitrary strip of iaer. It was cruel and
heartrending; but Philadelphia's modesty
must not bo shocked. Not even If sovcial
thousand females had to I hi slushed to pieces
every week or two. No; Indeed. Hut Kay
well, Kay kicked. Sho proKsed to npjiear as
a whole woman. Sho had serious objections
to the suggestive piece of white paper, and
sho went to law about It. Suit was brought
against tho director of public safety nnd tho
law and order society to enjoin tho same
from mutilating Miss Templeton's pictures.
Proceedings were commenced, Kay began her
engagement in "Ilendrlk Hudson" with tho
greatest success Imaginable and hero tho
matter rested. It will probably bo mouths
lieforo tho momentous question is decided.
Kay will then be in tho far west where the
peoplo are not so tinnlcky. No paper slips
will annoy her when sho comes to Lincoln.
If you, fair reader, want to know some of
tho things which attract men, note tho follow
ing which I quote from a writer in tho I.nd
iV's llmnr riiiriidf; "A woman's smile, for
example, attracts it man; but an even temper
retains him. A pretty gown attracts a man;
the knowledge that It was Inexpensive de
lights hi ii. A pleasant manner attracts a
man, brightness of brain holds him. A
knowledge of how, when and where to lie a
little stately, attracts a man; an appreciation
of the folly of frivolity wins his resect. A
resiect for the religious belief of every hu
man being, attutcts a man; Irreverence In
women is to him illumination."
Homebody tells a good story on Clitrksou,
of lown, first assistant prstiuaster general,
A friend called on hint one day with tho fol
lowing complaint: "We hnvo just comofrom
the government printing olllce, where wo had
gone with somo ladles to see the shop. Wo
were feeling pretty proud of tho manner in
which Krnuk Palmer was keeping things up
down there, till just ns wo turned a corner of
a rather gloomy corridor, one of the ladles
of our party gavo it scream, night in front
of us was a young man and a young woman,
employes of the olllce, kissing each other like
a pair of lovers. I am told that such things
aro going on all tho time In the government
printing office, and it really Is a shame that
tho employes should bo ermltted to spend
their time kissing each other, Instead of at
tending to their work. Homo of Mr. Pal
mer's friends ought to speak to him about It.
"Did the young people apcar to bo enjoy
ing themselves!" asked tho First Assistant
Postmaster General.
"Yog, indeed, they did."
"Then, for Heaven's sake," retorted Clark-
son, "don't report them. Don't intorfeie
with them. They nro the only peoplo con
uected with the administrations ho are hav
ing any fun, and thoy ought to be lot alone."
Those who witnessed tho preseutatlan of
"U. 3. Mall" nt Kunke's lost week, may bo
surprised, to learn that Hi Hand, the principal
character, Is taken from life. Twenty years
ago Hiram Hand, or HI Hand as he was uni
versally known, was a common figure In
Wisconsin newspaper circles. Ho was at one
time associated with E. E. Merrltt, now one
of tho proprietors of tho Hastings, (Neb.,)
Dai I a A'ebra shin, lit tho publication of u
county nowspnpor in tho former state After
dissolving partnership with Merrltt Hand
drifted around in the sen of journalism until
ho finally bocamo n hoeless wreck. Then he
took the road as a tramp printer and before
he died ho liecnme known from New York to
Han Francisco. These irtlcu!ars were learn
ed by tho dazitli'-.lournul of Hastings nt a
recent visit of the comedy company to tlmt
place.

What queer questions people sometimes
ask I A traveling man who was recently
married told mo tho other dty that a friend
"on the road" wishing to show a kindly In
terest, nuked him "how ho liked his wife?"
The New York W'mlil Inveighs nguiust the
Introduction of tho chiqu'ioiio Into American
society. There is some meat in the following
excerpt: "The understanding in our mother's
mid giaudmother'silays was that a reputable
girl might proerly go to any reputable place
with any I equitable yomu man, and that I' n
young man was not reputable no leputablo
girl could or would go with him at all. The

Al. Fiilrbrother has resigned his position on
tho editorial staff of the ec to go to Durham,
N C , where Ills IioksI, Ills wife may recover
her health. The removal of Fiilrbrother to '
North Carolina will take from Nebraska a
man who will be missed. Of marked indi
viduality and possessed of not a few cranky
Ideas, ha nia'ies and leaves an Impression
wherever ho goes. Hough and hairy extern
ally, he has a warm lieint and a kindly dlso
sltlon, His ferocity Is only skin deep. And
his brain, If soniew hat erratic, is ample and
strikingly original. It Is an active brain.
The dust of disuse can never clog It. Men
tally he Is something of a cross Utweeu Walt
Mitscu ami the lab O, II, Itothacker. While
lacking to some extent the pathos of the lat
ter ho has all of the quaint humor or the
former and his literary stylo partakes some
what of tho nature of both. In delicacy of
expression he does not equal the unfortunate
Hothttchor The Ideas he has; but his jten's
blindness gives it peculiar robust form to
even his most pathetic work. A featuie of
Fulrbrother's stylo Is the western brcezlness
which Is a part of everything ho does. His
cranium Is chuck full of what they call In the
east "westernisms," and he doesn't hesdtato to
draw from his store on every occasion. Lately
his ntteiitiou hits been given almost wholly to
politics, and his success In this line both with
the WiirM-lltmld and Ike has lieou murked.
