Tlii'ii) ought to bo a law prohibiting tlio
cuinnts of a Pullman lceicr from ettlnn
up before kix o'clock in the morning, It liap
peited to lie my luck tlu other tiny to strik j
a car with it party of muti going for an out
ing. They got up nt four oolock the next
morning. They made remarks to each other
nml took tlu wholo car Into confidence.
Some of the remarks wore supposed to lie
funny ami of courso the seakir's smnrttieHs
linil to Imj recognized with a round of approv
ing laughter. Politeness demanded at least
tliat inucli from tlio other members of tlio
party, and It did not matter that twenty
other persons were disturbed and annoyed.
Thny were tint In sight and there Is no law of
courtesy that requires 6ihj to lw polite to a
person not visible. This outing party was
composed of middlo-ngcd business men and
their conduct wbh a ioor comeutary on tho
restraining Influences of socloty. Now that
we oro In the lino swing of reform, It w to lw
hojiod that tho next legislature will regulate
this little matter. Kvery man Is entitled to
have the world reformed to suit himself and
I maintain my right to as many rights as

The national editorial convention met nt
8t. Paul this week. It was n remarkable
gathering and not the least remarkable thing
about it was. the attention showered upon the
quill pushers. Chicago was a meeting point
for tho editors of the east ami tho Chicago
and Northwestern rallwuy took them to Ht.
Paul In a special train of ten magnificent
Pullman coaches. A southern group gather
ed at Ht, Louis and the great Burlington
route accorded its friends of the press simi
lar handsome treatment in the matter of
special treatment. This is but n sample of
numerous courtesies. The association has a
membership of 10,00(1 editors, but the con
vention Is composed of about 600 delegates.
Among Nebraska's delegates were tho editors
of the Call and of the Couhikh. This meet
ing Is not a mere picnic. For three ilays tho
editors discuss questions of importance to
the fraternity and tho brightest men from
all parts of tho country contribute to this
fund of information and experience. Many
of tho delegates will take excursions arrang
ed for them to tho Yellowstone park and to
the Pacific slope.
The summer resort business is in a bud
way so far this season. Tho manager of a
big summer hotel told mo tho other day thnt
he was from three to four thousand In the
hole thus far this season. Tho weather had
been so cold and ilampthat eople would not
lenvo homo and there was almost no business
until last Saturday. We hear of the big
profits made by tho mangers of summer ho-tels-when
they make them but we seldom
hear of the losses. Tho house referred to
nbovo had been running three weeks nt an
expense probably of two hundred dollars u
day, and its guests had ranged from ten to
forty only. That sort of thing is not a Rtuto
of airalrs to be happy over cr to boast of,
hence wo do not beur of tho misfortunes of
the business as much as of the successes.
Speaking of summer hotels, I saw a sum
mer cottage the other day that hud u num
ber of unique features. The most striking
tiling about it was tho fact that straw mut
was used for wall paper or for plaster, If you
please. Instead of plaster and pajier on the
walla and ceilings the frame work was cover
ed with matting in a pretty red and white
checkered design. It looked cool and lent
color to the rooms and had tho ineiit of nov
elty, and I presume, of cheapness. Through
the center of this cottage was it big, wide,
hall, as Jargo as a young dancing hall, and as
there were four society girls in the family
you may lie sure that it filled that purpose.
The floor was thickly strewed with rugs,
which of course could be removed with
trifling trouble. At either end of the hall
were doors, making u cooling draft blow
through. The stairs to tho second story rose
from the renr of the hall, at one side, uud tho
walk nt the head of the stairs made n balcony
overlooking the hall. It was not an clitbor
nte house, but Its owner, an able lawyer, had
evidently planned it for comfort und to suit
his family, lieing u thinking man ho put
originality into It without great expense.
An article in an exchange gives an Inter
view with a shoe dealer in which he exalts
his trade after tho manner of men and ends
with tho declaration that u person neatly
shod will always appear well dressed,
implying that tho remainder of his wearing
apparel is of little concern. This may all bo
true, but haven't you road a somewhat simi
lar Interview In which u a Imtter maintain
ed that a stylish bat was about all n man
needed to look welll Haven't you seen simi
lar claims set up for collars, for shirts, for
skirts, for trousers, for cuffs, for neckwear J
Isn't it about time for these gentlemen to bo
a bit more modest in lioastlug their proton
hlousf Or is It the enterprising interviewer
who crowns their several stories with tho su
preme excellence or arrogance! At any rate
that sort of thing Is getting to lio very chest
nutty mid It ought to bo culled In.
Total abstinence is making progress. The
proof of It comes In peculiar form. In some
of tho largo cities tho givers of dinners have
become so sensitive to public sentiment on
this matter that they tire omitting wine from
their tables, uud It is seriously projiosed to
nccompnny Invitations to wlneless dinners
with a mall Ihjw of blue ribtion securely
fastened to tho card. When a total abstainer
leceivesonoofthesoho will know that ho
mt.y accept tho invitation without danger of
hnving his self respect damaged by the looks
of ungodly wlne-bibbers. On tho other hand
gentlemen who tiro iossessed of convivial
temperaments and habits will have a tip und
may trump a plausible excuse for sending
mm
regrets, By nil means lot us have the blue
ribbon nuil sort out tho sheep and tlio goals.
The uhsorption of ten cent pieces by those
aggravating dime saving banks goes on at
an astonishing rate, and the tiling lias lie
hveome a sot t of fad with some people. I
have heard of one lady who has laid by ten
of them, all loaded to the nozzle, making
about llfty dollars she has stored away in
tills manner. Hhe really shows symptoms of
a monomania on the subject, audit Is quite
possible the voracious little cylinders me
cultivating miserly tendencies in a great
many people. At any rate the drum on the
circulating medium lias been so great that
tho great government has felt It. Hereto
fore the Philadelphia mint was the only one
that coined dimes, but the demand for the
llttlo shiners has become so great that tlio
New Orleans mint has been ordered to turn
out n lot of them. This affords u good ex
ample of how far reaching may be a matter
of apparently trilling Importance. Avarice
becomes a passion rnthur than a passing fad,
uud It may bo that the dimo bank has come
to stny, but it Is safe to predict another nov
elty ere many months, that will crowd It In
to second placo In tho publlo eye; but what
u people wo nro for novelties, mere trinkets
designed to entlco the dimes and quartei s

whole country In their marchl
What Is there about life in tents thut
makes jieoplo sociable and tolerant I You
may taken erson who Is severely diguilled
mid distant In a civilized community, throw
him among a lot of campers and In u few
days he will become a pleasant, ompiiiiiouii
ble animal of tho genus homo. The fellow
who can resist tho genial influence of camp
life is n sorry dog indeed, uud he hasn't a
very good license to tho companionship of
human beings. Hut what Is this insidious
power Is it because life In the open, brings
ull jHtrtlos down to u common level! It is
human naturo for us to crave respect, defer
ence, envy and adulation . In town these
depend greatly on u man's bank account, on
his business or iolltIcal affairs, on his oxclu
slveness, on his affectation of style and of
snporioiity. In a tent among the woods
overy man is thrown on his merits ns an in
dividual. The evidences of wealth and urro
ganeohuveto bo left at home. Freed of
these trappings and the petty distinctions of
society, a man returns to u state of nature
uud depends on personal qualities to win tlio
good will of his fellows. The aristocratic
mediocrity finds the penniless Hohcmiau is
the bright, popular follow of the crowd and
the genial influence stirs his soul to emula
tion. At least that was about tho conclusion
u party of us reached as b result of discuss
ing personal oxHrieuces.
Hutu most noticeable thing about this
summer outing business Is the wuy in which
women thaw out at these lesorts. They
make acquaintance i with Tom, Dick und
Harry in the most unconventional of ways,
and lllrtund rump in u rather riotous man
ner. At houiu they affect such a pink of
propriety that u most desirable acquain

all looks so inconsistent, und for my part I
do not understand how lovely woman quiets

Homo time ago a Nebruska City tudy decld

H. V. P.," still uufuuilliur to tiiuuy In the
place. Her husband, an enterprising cloth
ing merchant, picked up one of the dainty
missives before they were ready for delivery,
examined it critically, gave au exclamation
of satisfaction and with a diabolical grin nit
on his visage left tho house. But Imagine
that woman's feelings when, upon the very
day liefore her grand affair, she oo'ied tlio
local paper to read this familiar advertise

But this explanation of the cabalistic let
ters was not the only ones those luckless In
vitations encountered. One lady stepped In
to a neighbor's with un offeded till- uud
asked: Are you going to Mrs- Hliu.k's recep

friend. "Well, I think this matter of taking

that man a piece of my mind." "Do so,"
said Lincoln, "write him now, while you

men out, Hoacli one. In the second game
