If a man lovesa maid, that's his bus
iness: if a ma d lovesa man, that's her
business; if they get married, that's
their business; if they need fine wed
ding stationery, or any any other kind
of printing, that's the Journal's busi
ness. A maiden fair, with sun-kissed hair,
came tripping down Main street; her
face serene, her age 10 gee whiz, but
she was sweet On the sidewalk slick
she came down quick, with a jolt thatfl
shook her curls, but the words she
used, must be excused for she's one of
Plattsmouth's nicest girls.
A babe is the prince of wails, a lap
lander, the morning caller, noonday
crawler, midnight brawler; the only
precjous possession that ever excites
envy; a key that opens the heart of all

tries; a stranger with unspeakable
cheek, enters the house without a
stitch on its back and is received with
open arms by everyone.
Noah was one of the earliest adver
tisers. He advertised that he would
sail on a certain day. Those who JT
not believe in advertising failed t'Tet
tickets and were left out in the j".
without any umbrellasor bathing suiny
as most oi mem couki not swim tliey

The origin of the monkey is now set

Now the frost is on the window and
the kitchen pail is froze, and the little
icy needles come from every breath
that blows, now the chilblains make
ue sick and faint and cold feet give us
pain, it's safe to say that most people
wish for summer days again. For
while we sweat and pinned around in
gauzy summer clothes, it was easy
enough to get cooled off, as everybody
knows: but it is different now when
the world is full of ice, and the weather
is as hard to beat as a pair of loaded
dice. We may talk about the climate,
and about our spring and fall, but the
balmy days of summer are the days
that suits us all.
We have read of Maud on a summer
day, who raked barefoot the new mown
hay. We have read of the maid in the
early morn, who milked the cow with
crumpled horn. And we've read the
la.
lay that poets sing of the rustling corn
nd the flowers of spring. But of all
le lays of tongue or pen there is
naVght like the lays of the sand hills
hen. Long, long before Maude rakes
her hay. the sand hills lien begins to
lay; and ere the milk maids stir a peg
the hen is up and has dropped heregg.
The corn must rustle and the flowers
must spring if they keep up with the
barnyard king. If Maude is is need of
a hat or gown she need not take her
hay to town, but she goes to the store
to obtain her suit with a basketful of
fresh-hen fruit. If the milkmaids
beau makes a Sunday call doesn't feed
4 him on milk at all: but works ud eetrs
in a custard pie, and stuffs him full of
chicken fry. And when the old man
wants a horn does he haul to the drug
gist a load of corn? Not much; he
simply robs a nest, to town he goes
you know the rest. Here he lingers
and talks, perchance, of true reform
and correct finance; while his good
wife stays at home and scowls, but is
saved from want by those self-same
fowls, and while the husband is linger
ing there, she watches the cackling
hen with care, and gathers the eggs,
and the eggs she'll hide, till she gath
ers enough to stem the tide. Then
hail.' all hail to the sand hills hen, the
greatest blessing of all men. Throw
up your hat and make Rome howl for
the persevering barnvard fowl! Corn
may be king, but it's plain to be seen
t!iat the sand hills hen is Nebraska's
queen.

His system of treatment is thor
oughly scientific and immensely supe

of very extensive research and experi

Each treatment consists of a curative
elixir, tonic tablets, laxative pills and
usually a plaster. Extensive statistics
clearly demonstrate that Mr. Miles'
treatment is at least three times as
successful as the usual treatment.
Thousands of remarkable testi
monials from prominent people will be
