I'ett Kldgo, the English novelist, Is a good story teller, and most of his stories concern people In the poorer ranks of life, and by far the greater number of them have the merit of be ing truo. Tho following contains a rnre touch of human nature, and speaks for itself. A certain club for wotking girls in tho East end of Iin don hnd recently elected a new mem ber, and one day the secretary hap pened to look out of tho window, and w as surprised to see the new mem ber rush up to a Btrange lad in the street, punch him violently on the heartrnnd then run away.

Under the pres ent laws applying to Hastings, and other cities In the class named, only those voters who have moved from 4no ward to another, first voters and new voters are required to register. Once registered a person need pay no lurther attention to registration un less he moves Into another ward. As result of this Inadequate method of registration the books contain about 2.500 names while (he largest vote ever cast in Hastings was approxi mately 2,000. The proposed measure will be provided for annual registra tion of all voters. ' to a question from a Norman peasant.

True, an- I other Is zealous watchfulness, but this state of mind Implies fear, the uneasi ness of uncertainty, and this is in compatible with the perfect love which casteih out fear. As associated with love the word implies a dread of los ing the thing desired, a state of mind which to the timid perhaps Is natural uud well nigh Inevitable in the flrst stages of courtship. The man who Is seeking to win a woman and who has rivals In the field. llflu ri cttnln n nnn Ii i u norima n n .1 umn Hons w hich upsets his normal balance. He becomes worried, fanciful and moody. Tho woman who already Is won, but who must conceal her feelings until tho Victor chooses to claim his con quest, scarcely can fail to be restless, capricious and nervous. This mainly Is due to the restraint which she is putting upon herself and the haunting fear that he may be in love with some one else. Hut when the lover has spoken and each holds the plighted truJi of the beloved, then Jealousy even In Its most amiable form Involves a lack of faith In the truth and the sincerity of of the beloved which is anything but complimentary, declares a writer in the Chicago Tribune. Whatever Its cause, jealousy Is bound to be a disturbingvelement, and the less indulged It Is the better. Al ways the expression of It Is more harmful than helpful. There Is a great deal of truth In the doctrine of mental suggestion as applied to love, and this especially Is the case with men. The jealous woman hates to hear other women praised, and though she possibly may remark upon their good qualities herself, sho objects when one of her own admirers, however faintly, expresses admiration for another wom an. And when she praises it Is with a reservation. "She is pretty, but," etc. No wise man would marry a jealous woman, however much he might care for her, could he realize how little peace and comfort probably will be his portion after marriage. No wise wom an would marry a jealous man, since she certainly could not hope to be hap py If the did. Jealousy Is responsible for more broken engagements, more matrimo nial unhapplness, than any other cause, with the possible exception of beastly intemperance In drink. Yet people who ought to know better go on excusing It, claiming that It is the result of love and the natural out come of a humble opinion of oneself. Instead of being, as in nearly all cases It Is, the result of colossal van ity, a vanity which I3 exasperated at the thought of precedence given to an other. The man or woman whose tempera ment will allow him or her to pas through life superior to the pangs of Jealousy has cause to be thankful. It Is wine to remember the saying of tho Greek sage, that "what Is worthy of Jealousy Is not worthy of love." was I V. EGENBERGER PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA. I t X I I ?

Faces are records on which appear the result of every selfish, malicious thought and every wicked desire. The woman who ties into fits of temper soon looks like an -orgo or a dragon. The man who dissipates and drinks soon acquires the loafer's countenance. Moreover, It Is our good, true thoughts that make for our happiness, as well as our appearance. All the mental and physical systems are practically con trolled by these little guests of our brnins. Lie awake all night and worry and behold your next morning face. It will Bcare you to death. You can change your embittered moods by ex ercise out of doors, by going to church, reading wholesomely stimulating books, by associating more with chil dren and by doing good, kindly acte for those who are about you. y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y t y y y t y Threshermen cannot well afford to buy wood ma chines when it is possible to buy a fire and weather proof steel machine. Being fire-proof, threshermen are free from the risk oh wood machines and insurance is unnecessary. We have had several machines go through fires, and after a new set of belts and a lew repairs were put on, the machine was running again after only a day's delay. Ordinarily it would take sev eral days to replace a burned mi .chine, which would mean a loss of a large part of the season's run. Thresh ing machinery is subject to more hard usage and ex posure than any other, which accounts for its usual rapid deterioration. But the CASE Steel Separator is weather and water-prcof ns well as fire-proof. The threshing season is fast approaching and the best thing that you could do now is to order a CASE Rig.

Steam is the only reliable method for developing power for the heavy operations of agriculture, plowing and pulling stumps. One of the most important re quirements of traction and portable engines is a safe, strong boiler of suitable proportions, well made and thoroughly tested before leaving the factory. As a measure of safety we test each of our boilers first un der a cold water test of 200 pounds per square inch; second when the completed engine comes from the erecting room it is kept under 130 pounds steam pres sure for several hours and worked on a Prony brake. Owing to the construction and these rigid tests there are no complaints from customers because of leaky boilers or defective engines.
