Two-thirds of the so-called society '4)" are ciphers. Ileaven won't be exclusive enough to suit some people. To keep a house warm in winter have the cellar coaled. 'n man in real life ever made love like a lover on the stage. When a friend in need drops in the average man get9 cold feet. Eat, drink and he merry today; to morrow you may be married. As a rule it isn't the best looking woman who tries to look her best. .Some people seem to think that loud talk makes a sound argument. And of course everything goes dead wrong with the successful undertaker. If you have a cross to bear, bear it like a man and don't place it on exhi bition. Most of a man's friends are willing to become his enemies on the least provocation. It's easy to put the lid on, but when it comes to keeping it on-well, that's another story. Many a man is credited with being patient when in reality he is too lazy to register a kick. Thankesivlnif onlv three weeks hence, and turkeys are gradually In creasing In price. The average man would rather lose a dollar on a borse race than earn quarter at hard labor. Ever t ime an angry man slamsadoor it lets the recording angel out of mak ing a dash in the book. The election is over now, let's get down to business and give Plattsmouth a boost during the winter. An old bachelor says that marriage is the result of one fool's encouraging the foolishness of another. Some people borrow trouble and some others wait for the neighbors to throw It over the back fence. The pen is mightier than the sword whpn it, pomes to making an obese bank balance look like :10 cents. Beware of the girl with a marble hpart. vnumr man. Even cold cash can warm It up only temporarily. Never trust a man who pretends ho'o wind hp is hald or a woman who pretends she's glad she has red hair, Thn mnre a woman knows to the discredit of her husband the madder it makes her when other women find it out. ' Some people like to make a showing on dress parade but when it comes to the actual battle they show great deficency. Some young ladies make themselves ridiculous by paradlDg the streets every night that the weather Isn't too bad to do so. When a married man has occasion to talk In bis sleep be always says things that his wife Is unable to understand. When one man wants to turn an other man's head he tries to get his ear, but a woman makes an effort to catch his eye. The burglarly excitement seems to have subsided. Ferhaps the actors are just resting up for a fresh start, and with more vim. After a noor man has married a wo man because she knows her own mind he will never be permitted to forget that she knows It. It would appear that some parents in this city had no control over their dauchters. or else they would make an effort to keep them off the streets after 8 o'clock at night. Talk about a curfew for boys. W hy not fur gins, also? There are a set of dirty whelps who still continue to hover on the corners to "guy" every woman who passes along. It would be a good idea for the police to do a little "hovering" also with a p-clm club and give them a gentle stroke about the time the guy ing act occurs. This i tho scajon of the year when you take great pleasure In putting on vour slippers after you havo prepared to retire for the night, and with the chilly blast playfully toying with your nightshirt, slip out into the back vard and devote an hour to covcrm plants that it would cost thirty cents to replace In the spring.

A pleasant Informal gathering oc curred Monday at the home of J, currcd near Gretna, Neb., while the conductor, Fred Walters, was perform Ing his duties of taking up transports tion. From the Information obtained, It appears that the regular stop at Gret na was made this morning, and after receiving several passengers, the train pulled out and Conductor Walters started through the coaches collecting the tickets. When the conductor ap proached one of the passengers and asked for bis transportation, the man whose name we have been unable to ascertain, quietly informed him that he did not have a ticket. The conduc tor than asked him how far he was go ing, and understanding that the pas scngcr was going to Excelsior Springs Mo., hcdlrected him to pay the regu lar fare to Omaha, where he could oh tain a ticket to the above destination The stranger at once became Indig nant, and pulling a revolver from hi pocket, said "1 want a square deal ou of this now," and in a few seconds dls charged three shots atConductor Wal tcrs, after which he placed the end of the gun In his own mouth and tired a fourth shot, which it is believed will result In his death.

Kalfenberger was the scene of a merry gathering last Wed nesday evening. Those, who responded to Miss Itora's ' nvltatlons were very much surprised at the Jack-'o-lantern ghost that they saw on the porch. As they entered the house they were very much start led at two white spectacles which made them think of death, and who escorted them to the parlor. The parlor was beautifully trimmed with autumnal leaves, while the re ception room was decorated with the Stars and Stripes and Jack-'o-lanterns. The tlmo was pleasantly spent In games that had been prepared for them until tho clock struck eleven, when the guests were Informed that Madam Buzel, the Gypsle o.ucen, had arrived and who would now lead them Into their mysterious future. After she had read their hands she handed them a mysterious paper. Tlise were read aloud during luncheon, and caused much laughter. Some hoped their fortunes would come true while others would rather they wouldn't.. Miss Mlna and Ola KnfTcnbcrgcr, gowned in white, served a three coursed luncheon.
