A p.uty of Llncolnltes have returned from

Mint thoy Improved their opportunities mid

nmrrled nml three young Indies. They will
llinl It 11 valuable acquirement. They may
never be placed in danger where they will
need it to save themselves, and they muy
never las called on to rescue another, tt.s one
Lincoln Utile did recently, but It will Ihi a
great comfort to them nslde from the pleas
ure It will add to any lake or hen bathing In
which they may Indulge, It will rob tho wa
ter of much of It terror. After learning to
hwIiii one discovers that It itspilrc a very
little exertion to keep oneself iilloat. Thous
and of eople who have leeii thrown Into
deep water and drowned would have been
saved If they had known how to sustain
themselves Until help came. It Is a compar
atively env thing to do and with the knowl
edge of how to swim comes tho ability to
lloat with a minimum of exertion, That
feeling of helpfulness add wonderfully to
the comfort of a perron when riding on n
boat of any kind, and tho Lincoln Indies are
to be commended for their good sense and
issrserverence in learning to swim. They
can do a good turn now by telling their
friends how easy it was and urging them to
learn at the llrst opportunity.
Dull time- have not pi eve 1 very heavily
011 Lincoln, and one reason for this muy be
found in the enormous sum of money spent
by the Lincoln Htrt-et lailway company in
Improving its system. Apropo of which, it
is quite within the range of iiosdhilltic-i that
that company will establish a factory of itx
own for the manufacture of Htrcet cars. The
company has had occasion to remodel the
cunt of the old Hapld Transit line and to re
build one or two that have lieen wrecked.
In the latter cuso a car has been almost re
constructed from the iron work up. The tact
is demonstrated that the company can build
cars In its own shop that are better than
some of those which have been bought else
where. The natural conclusion is that it
ought to construct Its equlppage here and
that it probably will.
Have you ever heard how the combination
of Ice cream nud soda water originated ( A
country druggist down in Pennsylvania orig
inated the wi inkle almut twenty yeaiH ago.
He handled the two commodities in question,
but it being a small town he had difficulty in
getting enough ice to keep his fountain cool,
He Anally conceived the idea of putting a
little ice cream in each glass of sody water
to cool thejatter. People like the combina
tion and it'gradually spread until now it is
well nigh universal.
We pick up our morning puper every day
confidently existing to Uud it running over
with telegrams from all parts of the woild
and none of the news more than twenty-four
hours old. What a contrast with some other
countries Mexico for example. A friend
tells ine that the morning paers are really
printed the afternoon In-fore, and the news
boys actually go about the streets howling:
"Here's your tomorrow's jxiper." They aie
too lazy down there to work nights, and ieo
ple are (00 indifferent about news. Their pa
lters run to editorials, and it makes very lit
tle difference whether the telegraphic news
is one day or one week old. Homo times they
run in stuff that has been f 01 gotten by the
rest of the world for a mouth, and the editors
doit with the calm assuianco that their
readers will not know the difference. A Chi
cago paper spends more for the telegraphic
service ot the day than a Mexican puper
spends lit a year. Of com se the people dow 11
theie are not great readers. In the city ot
Mexico with a population of :KX),iHJU the lead

American can't help thinking, however, that
if they would Improve the puper by an in
jeetlon of Northern enterprise it would In
create tho circulation. Hut, on tho other

Stockton ut times by the queries of curious
people who want to know thu sequel to "The
Lady or the Tiger." It is generally assumed
that .Stockton never answered the question.
The newspapers quote him us answering:
"When I become 11 lady 1 will tell more but
a woman can decide the question," There
is evidence, however, thut thu evasive author
has answered tho question, that is to suy, he
has given his opinion. He was tulkiug of
tho story with 11 lady coriospoudeiit when he
asked her what she would have done if she
weio in the place of the woman in the story
who hail to open the door. The lady said
she would prefer to have her lover eaten by
tho tiger. Stockton promptly said' "So
would any woman who loved tho man,
thut is, if I understand woman's uature cor
rectly." "Hut after all, 1-11't it a question

Belvu Lockwood wus tho tlrst woman to

was hooted and there was the usual rut
about about "women utisoxlng themselves,"
Now the tiling is so common that at u recent
wheel meet the young men were accompan

their graceful safeties, and tho world smiled
approvingly. Custom makes and unmakes

There has been an unusual number of wed
dings of late, and it is notable that most of
them have been marked by the use of elegant
stationery. There Is nothing like line copper
plate engraving for wedding cards and iuvi
tatuus, uud it seems to be reaching u point
where Lincoln people will have nothing else.
This Is not to be wondered at. Copperplate
produces beautiful remits, and by the side of
It the finest of printing looks coarse. There
Is n wonderful sight of satisfaction, too, In
having engraved stationery for such an oc
casion. Aside from the beauty of its ap
pcarauco one knows he has the finest thing
that Is used anywhere, as good as a (lould or
a Vandeibllt would use for a like purpose.
That comfoit Is worth a great deal, The
wonder is that anyone mi clump printed in
vltatlons. Copperplate work Is a little morn
xNMislve, It Is true, but weddings are so few
ill any family that it Is really a small Item.
The difference might easily be snvtd by cut
ting down some other item of display, and
there Is hardly anything else that will fttrlkn
tho guest so favorably as the procr thing in
stationery. In tills connection is also worthy
of remark that about nine tenths of the en
graved stationery used by Lincoln people is
furnished by the Wessel 1'rltitlng company
The reason of thai is simple, too. That In
stitution has always made a specialty of the
finest work of this kind, and the qu-illty of
its product cannot Ihi excelled. This applies
to the stock as well as totheeiigravlug. An
other advantage in dealing with this house
unless It has special orders to do otherwise it
furnishes the styles which are in vogue In
he best social circle of the east. The custo
mer never has to worry about the stylo or
tho form of such stationery. Persons dcslr
iug work of this kind should call on the Wes
sel Printing company and examine Its sam

Every once in a while one sees an item
about Clara Hart on and her connection with
the lied Cross society. From the invariable
use of her first naiuo In full and generally
with the prefix Miss, I Imagine many readers
take her to lie a young woman. Much is. not
the case, and bIio In not the romantic looking
maiden that some may picture to their
minds. Miss Barton is a typical old maid In
apiH-arance. Now this not Intended as a
disparagement, but simply to remove u nils
uprchensiou. Mis Barton llrstgaiued prom
inence during the war when she acted the
part of Florence Nightingale for wounded
Union soldiers. It was the good fortune of
the writer several years ago to see a collet
tlon of relics Miss Hmton hud gathered from
AudersonvillH prison anil raved all these
yearn, and 11 wonderfully interesting group
of curious objects It wus. Among them was
the bee hive used by the Union prisoners for
a poitotllee, and there were various utensils
fashioned out of pieces of old canteens. Miss
Barton is held In high esteem umoiig the old
vets east, you muy be sure. Hlie is said to
huve been the tlrst person to decoiute sol
diers graves as a patriotic rather than a per
sonal act of homage, She is the only woman
whoever sat in tlie Swiss national council,
and no other ever received the iron cross of
Prussia us she did f 1 0111 the old Kaiser Will

If theie is any one thing I quite udmire
above ull others it is the summer girl. She is
a charming eutily any way you muy take
her, for the season or for aye, and I cannot
resist the temptation to reeat the remarks
of one who has made her u study at a nation
al guard encampment: "The summer girl Is
always lovely, but she is particularly fetch
ing ut camp. The uniforms, the buttons and
the guns and swords set her off to perfection.
Hlie is either brilliantly 'up' In mun uverlng

Lincoln with two of the handsomest base
ball parks In the west, with unexcelled trans
portation facilities, with plenty of ball
cranks and an abundance of enthusiasm has
suddenly found itself without a club. Sumo
how or other that Illusory figment known as
tho franchise has sllpcd out of our grasp
and wo are left stranded, clubless, franchise
less and Dave Itoweless, and by tho way
what a mysterious thing is that aforesaid
franchise. It Is hud to gel and costs good
money, and they tell you it can't be taken
away You put up the wherewithal, you got
the franchise, or something they udl by that
name, your club U-glus to play ball, and
then after a while, three or four fellows lu
another city several hundred miles away get
together and you rend In the paper the next
morning that your club has U-eu dropped,
that the franchise has ticcu forfeited or some
such thing; at any rate It is gone Queer
Isn't itf A few months ago this town was at
the feet of Dave Howe. We all liked him,
lielleved III his promises uud really thought
he intended to "act the square". Anything
and everything we hail was his nud ho got
lots of our stuff. Our mtrlotlu citizens math
ed each others corns in their eugernesto full
down tsL-foro the shrewd biisebnll magnate.
Oh ye, Dave wus "In it" and 11 good many
thous.mil dollars irrespective ot gate receipts
found its way into his jiookets. When he
wanted money ho asked for it uud got it.
Now he bus the money, the franchise, every
thing tangible, while Lincoln bus a lot of
players 011 it hands who havu't received any
money from Dave for weeks. Tough isn't itf
Here is what is coming, or rather what is
said to be due some of the boys: Boat, 1 40(1;
Cllne, 40l. O'Day, MOO. Jack Howe, fiKM),
Baymoiid, iio, Burkett, f.'AHJ. A consider
able amount is also owing the others. The
boys want to know why they weieu't paid
out of tlio gate lecelpts. They insist they
were not. They think Messts Hurley, Mosh

base ball magnate and they threaten to suu
