The house then went into committee of he whole and considered bills on the general file. senate. Lincoln, Xeb., Feb. 25. The senate considered several bills in committee of the whole. After much patching it ap proved Raymond's bill creating liens on railroads for merchandiser, provisions or fodder furnished contractors building such roa Is. The committee killed a bill abolishing the days of grace on notes, checks and drafts payable on demand. The bucket shop bill came up and its op ponents secured further delay by adjourn ing. Another Prohibition Bill. Lincoln, Xeb., Feb. 25. Mr Eyeretr, of Burt, introduced a bill today to pro hibit tli-3 mtnufacture au.l sale of intoxi eating liquer.-, including ale, wine and beer.

WHICH 'UNI There is love on the mountains aa well as in tho valleys, and that love acts in exactly the same channels. One after noon, as I was approaching a mountain hamlet called "Ilerkimer's," I met a young man of about 20, who, as I soon found, had been waiting my coming, lie was a typical young mountaineer, but he Eeemed so embarrassed and flus t rated that I almost liecame suspicious of him. lie finally asked me to sit down on a rock by the roadside, and when we were down he said: "Stranger, I reckon you 'un is to stop in townr "Yes." "You'll go to Bailey's, in course. They hain't nobody else got a spar' bed fur strangers. "Yes, I was told to go to Bailey's." "They 'un is expectin' you 'un, and you 'un will lie treated handsome." "Yes." He moved around nervously, got up and sat down, and when I asked if he had crampa or toothache, he blurted out: "Stranger, I want to ax a plain ques tion. You 'un won't be mad?" "Oh, no." "Ilev you 'un cum courtin'?" "Bless yau, no! What put such an idea into your head?" "Dunno. Ever hoar of Betty Bailey?" "Never." "No! Why, I thought everybody had. She's 'Lasses. Nobody else can c ompare." "Ah! I seo! You love her and was afraid I'd come to cut yPH out. Case of jealousy, eh?" "Stranger, be you 'un mar'd?" he sol emnly asked. "Yes, for tho last hundred years. .Mar ried and a grandfather. Even if I fell in love with tho fair Betty I couldn't marry her." "Serus?" "Serious as tho grave, my boy. Don't you worry over me. Indewl, if it comes handy I'll put in a good word for you." "You 'un will chitter (talk) for me!" "Certainly." "Put it thar!" We shook, and then ho stqod up, scratched his head, looked all around, and finally lowered his voice and said: "Jim Burton ar' arter her, too! Dog gone him, but he 'lows to cut me out!" "Oh-ho! Then you have a rival? What sort of a fellow is Jim?" "Got tea acres, a cabin, a gun, two dogs, and ho un says he'll hev a mule this fall." "And wdiat have you got?" "More'n he 'un, but he's purty to boot." "I see. Well, you appear to be a good hearted young man, and if I can give you a lift I'm bound to do it. Don't count too much on me, however. Women are strange creatures. I may even hurt your case by trying to, help, ypvj.n" We Giiook hands a-id separated, and in due lime I reached Bailoy's house and wa3 cordially welcomed. I found Betty to bo a pretty good looking girl of 18 or ID, unusually talkative and intelligent, but wo had scarcely eaten supper when a boy c.iiae in and said that a narj wanted to sre me over 51$ $h, siorii.

"Diun I cum "To seo Betty? Oh, no, Let's see. You must bo tho young man who is courting her?" "Cricky! But I am!" ho exclaimed, as he clicked his heels together. "Well, she's a nice, tidy girl, and will make you a good wife. How soon does the marriage come off?" " Crick v! But I wish it was to-mor-rer!" "Is any one else loving her?" "One more dog gone his earlocks! If that ar' Tom Wharton don't keep hisself away I'll 6hute him!" I promised tQ spiealif a good word for him and went back to the house, and hardly had Mrs. Bailey and I got seated for a smoke when she called: "You thar. Bet? Cum yere!" "What is it, mam?" "Thar's bin too much fussing. I'm goin to ask the stranger which 'un. Will yo abide?" Betty blushed and fidgeted and the Oiother continued: "I don't believe in fussing. When I was axed if I would marry pop I said 'yes right off, and thar' wasnt no, fus sing.' Be$ haa to, serious somebody. What d'ye think, stranger?" "Is she loved by two young men?" "She are. Kept up a fussing here fur a hull vear and hain't said 'yes' to either of 'em." "But . how do I know?" protested the girl. "How do you know that oxen hev horns? Is one as good aa t'other?" Tear so," t'Ktranxrer. advise her. ' Bet's a good girl una will mass somu m.i;i 11 &uoi wife, but thar's too much fussing. I can't juiit i-::t up with it 1:0 mo. Bet, will ve abide?" "Mcblie. " "You'll hev to. IIo knows. He's cum all tho way from tho no'th, and of course he knotvs. What a hu un here fur if lie don't know?" "Well, 111 abide." I was trying to avoid the issue when a rap caino at tho door and in walked a man of about U3. He was a fair looking man end lived about ten miles away Bailey came in jubt then, and was called out doors by the new arrival for a con sultation lasting about ten minutes. Then the mother was called out, and upon her return 6he took Betty into an other room. Then the men came in, and pretty soon Bailey, his wife and myself had tho kitchen, while Betty and the stranger had the parlor. "He's a widower from the next cove," explained Mrs. Bailey. "Wants to be hitched agin. Want our Bet. What d'ye i.ink. stranger?" "That would settle the fussing." " 'Deed it would. It's got so pap and me can't stand ' it. His name is Bill Stovin and he's worth a heap. What d'ye think, stranger?" "I like the idea. If Betty marries one of the young men somoone will get shot. Better give 'em both the 6lip." "That's it! Too much fussing. We can't stand it no mo'." Next morning at breakfast the mother inquired of Betty, as she poured the coffee: "Will ye abide or not? The stranger knows what Bill was yere fur?" "Reckon it's too late," was the blush ing reply. "How?" "I've abided to Bill." "Is the day sot?" "Yes." "Thank the Xrd! The fussing is all over! Jist what the stranger was going to say. Ho knows. Ho wouldn't be way down yere if he didn't. Pap, you ax an extra blessin' this meal, and stran ger, don't fear that bacon. It's some of my own cure." M. Quad in Detroit Free Press. The New Explosive. The discovery, by a Pittsburg chemist, of a new powder which is more powerful for email arms than any previously in use, is an interesting indication of what the United States can do when its. atten tion is turned to providing the materials of wa,r, Wth fast dynamite cruisers, dynamite cannon a possibility for cast steel heavy artillery, and a newjpowder for small arms amoug our late warlike products, it will ho seen that we are pre pared, if it oomes to the test, to repeat the achievements of the days when our monitors and Parrott and Rodman guns reduced tho Old World navies to the con dition of old junk. According to the statements given the explosive power of the new powder is somewhat less than that of dynamite, and probably consider ably below the later inventions known in Europe. But the claim of superior safety and its adaptability to firearms with the possibility of making a tunnon in which it can, ba used, vill, if substantiated by experience, make- it far more efficient in war than tho old explosives. Give Pitts burg a little time and she will mako it appear the part of wisdom for tho Old World to leave us alone. Pittsburg Dis patch. C;u5i 4:0!

There i3 a popular error that the man who reads a great deal is first to require tho services of a specialist in treatment of tho eye. Such is not the case. 1 have found that the greatest sufferers with eye troubles are those who are compelled to use that valuable member in an un natural position. For example, take the dentist. In examining a patient's teeth he cannot look straight ahead, but does the most of his work under a great strain, with the head in an unnatural position and the eyes twisted so greatly that there is a constant strain upon them. In read ing we are taught that when the eye aches it is time to stop. That the dentist cannot do. Some of them are very deli cate on this point, but it is. a fact that luring my practice I have treated more dentists than members of any other single profession. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
