A pers jn suppose 1 to be a female put
in an appearance at a hotel in Omalrt last
week, and made application for employ
ment. She was given a place ud prov
ed herself entirely competent. Indeed,
she was considered one of the best girl"
in the house. The discovoiy was made,
however, that the aforesaid girl was
boy. The real gir's made a vigorou
kick and he was bounced.
In an artitlj in yesterday's local ap
peared a sentence, "By the lead, ."
It should have read "By the load, niw,"1
in illustrating the shout of a seaman rho
calls off the number of fathoms deep of
water through which a resselj is pissing,
so that the officer cm watch may be guid
ed in the course and speed his vessel
should take, usu illy on entaring a liar
bor. This error was not the "fault of
the compositor," but that of the writer ol
the item. "An open confession is good
for the soul."

Burkel.an I accompanied by Mrs. Wnitnv

from Arlington. Neb., where they had
been specially called to assist in a church
entertainment at that place. The enter
tainment was a financial success and
4iOjr Boys" rcceiyed hearty applause and
many encores. "We arc proud of them
and their record.
As illustrating some peculiar words
that are used in the English language,
although very seldom heard, are the
words "Buzzard" and "set." A littlegirl
about eiht rears of age now residing in
this city.but born in the north of England
was overheard niakbg remarks in which
those two words were x:cd. The child
was visiting at a lady's home in town,
and when asked how long she could stay
said,"I can stay till the 'Buzzard blow?,"
meaning the whistle at the B. &M. shops.
Aud again, "Mother s-ayi for you to tell
mc wh it day you can come down to see
her, and I'll come up and 'set' you,"
meaning, show the way. A-iy person, so
inclin d, can get an hour or two's very
profitable stuiy by locking up thes
words and their derivations ?n Worces
ter's dictionary.
PLATTSMOUTH PLAUDITUDES.
Pointod, Personal, Peculiar Mat
tering Fovorsfor tho Future.
Some one wrote, "Is there a man with
soul no dead, who never to himself has
said, thl- is my own, my native land "
It doe not matter whether this quotation
is corn ct or not, many can apply it to
then.sclvr and substitute the word
I'liUtsiwiulh for land. Flattsmouth
has always been a city of promising pros
pects sine; "Adown the nges long ago,"
but it has been retarded in its growth by
a few peltish persons who take no interest
iu anything, not even the kingdom of
heaven, th; y are so wrapt up in self, and
often to their own injury, J "cut off
their noi .; to spite their face."
ThiMe was an editor of a county paper
somewhere who, at ou-i tirn; received
very lKlle patronage and encouragement
to boom the city where his paper was
puh.ibhed, so that he had plenty of
leasure to t' ach a frog to jump. In
course of time the frog hail acquired
.such agility that the editor published a
challenge, in which he stated that ho
would hack his frog to jump with
greater rapidity a cei tain distance than
any fr g in the county. The challenge
wa accepted by o'.u of the citizens and
two chalk lines were drawn on the iloor
of the printing olHce while around stood
the ancient strata of the town. Both
frogs were put to tha mark, the word
"go' was given and the citizen's frog
went at a lively gait, but the editor's
wouldn't move, although he tickled it
with a straw behind and before. On
lifting up the frog by the leg to ascertain
the cause of his "inocuous desuetude,"
about a tablespoonful of bird shot rollod
out of its mouth. It appears that the.
citi.ea had by some means been able to
handicap the editor's frog and prevent
it from winnini.' the rncc.
We do our best t further t lie interests
of the city and the columns of the Jour
nal are also constantly devoted to that
subject which it handles in a very able
manner, but some of our citizens won't
let our frog win, although we are backed
by such men as R. B. Windham, presi
dent of the Board of Trade, i.nd others
who hive a vital interest in the the city's
future welfare.
The objpct of these comment. are on
account of tho ureat number of ea.tern
capitalists who are coming west and in
vesting their money. Thev naturallv
drift to places they hive hvard about.
such as Omaha, for instance, but on their
arrival find all available business sites
already built upon, and real estate at such
enormous figures, that unless they are
millionaires, they look around for some
other location. Well, what place of its
.size has more facilities and attractions for
manufacturers than Plattanvulh? But
they will noi- come and locate 'unless they
get a fcood bonus, and as there are so
mmy cities competing for these prizes
money auddand express more than words.

It is a Strang thing that there arc
ahva crowds of loafers at cou.itry de
pots, and each crowd resembles the bal
ance of the crowds. There is always the
man with the tangled beard and a slouch
hat w ho whittles a piece of pine and look
wi.-e; the loose-jointed man whose cp is
pulled down over his eyes, and who is
il ways grinning, although the demons
down under the sea don't know what he
is smiling about; and there is the long
legged individ .ial who sits on a truck and
improves the shining hours by endeavor
ing to expectorate with such accurate aiu
as to hit a nail in the sidewalk which he
has been vainly trying to hit for years.
Then there are the dozrn or so who stand
around without any object in life onl
-taring at the passengers on the trains
while there eves have all the seeming of
a d nwa's that is dreaming. They are
always on exhibition, the entire crowd of
them. And it is a wonder that an avrng-
Xemesis doesn't shove them under the
cir wheels they are eternally glaring at.

ARISTOTLE ANSWER?
A Public Problem Pondered Over
Argumentative and Accurate.
"We won't have no mgar in our coffee
or tea all this month." "Why?" said his
youthful companion. "Because papa has
bought some woolen yarn instead, for ma
to knit us some stockings with." This is an
actual conversation that took place yes
terday, and is a whole sermon in a nut
shell of what a dreadful timcthe honCf t,
sober, industiious woikingman has to ob
tain the common necusfit it s of life in a
free country when he is compelled to
work for a corporation or powerful m-i-noply.
It has often Ik-ch said that cor
porations have no souls, and it is about
right for in their elTortJ to suppress the
Knights of Labor nnd kindnd organi
zations, which they know are formed to
obtain .mi increase of wages, they openly
defy scriptural texts and the will of tliL
Almighty, by the indirect method of pre
venting their laborers from interim th.
jAariiage state on account ' f the low
wage3 they receive and who, someti.ms,
e'nlier married or fcingle, nro thi
compelled to act against the will
of the Creator by doing all that anatomi
cal or medical knowledge will enable
them, to disobey the Divine decree wlun
the Lord said to Abraham "thy seed shall
be as tiie sands of the sea." The Chris
tian religion is almost powt ilcss for good
while such evils exist, and when a labor
ing man (not a machinist; wi h a large
family sets patch, patch, patch, go on his
frothing, his wife's, his childrm's, du:
ing the cold, cruel blasts of winter he
wonders if tho "Lord tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb." Such families have
also to buy all tho scrap and scraggy
pieces of meat, and live in tumble-down
shanties through which the wind howls
and mocks their misery while laying on
the bare iloor or on their knees in humble
supplication before their Maker. A goo.
many when they read these lines will say
that is an exaggeration. But it is not so.
this is a pen-picture of actual life in this
city and every city in the country, and if
there is any person who is not prompted
by curiosity, but by purely philanthropie
emotions, we will mention the names of
a family thus situated, who are god
fearing people, whose falhwr does not
spend a cent on intoxicating lienors in
twelvemonths, whose children are iniac
cpiainted with bright pictures, musical
sounds, candy or fruit, except when San
ta Clans comes along, and ytt attend a
place of worship regularly and thank
Cod for the preservation of their health.
Some will say, 'Well, poor people
shouldn't laise large families, that's the
only trouble !" As the subject is now
entering into the ministerial domain we
will retire, after stating tiiat those
who are interested in the matter can find
further information by reading carefully
through Mr. Walter Bes.mt's "Fruits of
Philosophy," and the Book of Genesis,
10 chap., 1-1-10 vs.: Q2 chap., IT-IS vs.:
15 chap., 5 and following verses, and
then making comparisons. This is a sub
ject hardly tit for the study of young
persons, and we should be pleased to re
ceive for publication the opinion of thoe
older and better versed than ourselves
on the subject.
H'CH SCHOOL KOTE3.
Ou9 of the teachers ws yesterday the
recipient of a beautiful box of ross.
She is anxious t know from whence they
came.
Yesterday was Valentine's day and by
the amount of mail received by the

were not forgotten.
Rumor snys that at least two of our
teachers are about to assume other re
sponsibilities beside teaching. What
thi.-y are we leave you to gmss.
