Tho ceremony was per formed through the medium of the telephone, tho bride beirg at Crete and the groom with the preacher in Kearney. The telephone operators at Kearney and Crete wore the witnesses to tho marriage The groom left on tho early morning train to join his bride, and it is a safo bet that they will not require a long distance tele phone to communicate with each for the next few days. This is probably tho first ceremony ever performed in this manner. If divorces can bo ob tained in the same manner, those lux uries may yet bo brought wilhin the reach of all.

A woman is imraenselj ilatttved when "the girls" ask her to appear at a party in a low-neck gown. A woman who boards is as busy as one who keeps house, but she will never admit thut it consists largely of frittering. A party cannot bo said to be a suc cess unless the guests wake everybody up in the neighborhood when they leave for home. Grocers talk of the last chance in connection with strawberries as ear nestly as ministers talk of the last chance at a revival.

There can be no doubt that the war indemnity paid by France to Germany after the six weeds' war was a boom erang to score up against Bismarck ine good it did to t ranee 13 ines timable. Prior to the war there was an enormous amount of money locked up in the form of small savings. The appeal of the government to the peo ple set this sum into profitable mo tion, and, to the amazement of the world, France paid off her creditor in less than half the stipulated time. This gave a vast Impulse to business en terprise of all kinds, nd since then France ha3 steadily become more wealthy. In Germany the effects were less beneficial. The huge Influx of gold sent up prices with a rush. A mania for speculation set in,' followed by the inevitable crisis. Most serious of all, however, was the unexpected discovery of France's strength.

PLANTS TIRE OF MONOTONY. Fume Avraits the Man Who Can Fathom the Reaaon. Of late years much has been learned of the manner in which nature works; hut the amount of secrets which nature has carefully locked up Is vast In proportion greater than the little scraps of knowledge we have been able to secure, says Meehan's Monthly. But variation in one of those mysteries yet unsolved. It is not an uncommon thing to find a plant or tree, which for years has borne flowers or fruit according to rule, as one might say, all of a sudden send out branches of a character often widely different from that of those which have preceded them. It is more remarkable, as a fact, that when these different branches are cut from the parent tree and rooted a3 cuttings or preserved by grafting, this wandering trom the original form continues her editary, and can be reproduced innu merably, just as the parent plant can. Many new roses have been raised in this way. Some of them have been of the most distinct character. In fact, those who watch for these variations, or, as they are technically called, sports, can secure as many new va rieties as those do who look for new variations from seedlings. Fruit trees are especially subject to these varia tions. Sometimes a pear tree will have a branch with fruit which looks as if they might be apples, and again apple trees have been known to produce pear-like fruit. Not only is this dif- rerence in form, but also in color. rium trees that for years will bear nothing but the normal purple-fruited plums, will send out branches oc casionally with yellow-colored plums instead of egg-shaped, purple ones. One of the most striking instances of this is in the case of the nectarine. A well-informed biologist simply says he does not know what causes these wild wanderings from normal forms he merely tells the student there is a chance for him here in original inves tigation which may bring you fame if you work out the cause. m I66 Gream Odd mm ijil ..IN ALL FLAVORS OUR Chocolate and Vanilla Beat the World GerhiQr & Co., m ' ..DRUGGISTS..
