There are larger and I portant fields of effort in employ his - Mr. Ford has reached the age in where he ought to be thinking ! lif of something more serious. He is reported to have more ready cash than any man in the world. But, so far as the record shows. Mr. Ford has never contributed in a substantial way to any form of charity or philantrophy. Promotion of old-fashioned danc ing, or any other kind of dancing, for that matter, is a poor form of effort for a multimillionaire who, in the natural course of human events, cannot live much longer.

The criminal himself seems to have been forgotten. He is not in the ring. Possibly he has escaped. It might not be discreet in this grand uplifting hour to say. it out loud, but there are some who actual ly think the criminal himself has some responsibility in the affair. This may not be good parlor soci- oiogj. mere tne criminal is a poor lamb that has been slipped down ! over a ledge or has been pushed there by his parents or the preacher or policeman and in his sweet ino cence has been caught. Why not swing the criminal into the circle or somewhere else and allow blind justice to take off her bandage to see to give sentence? Can crime be successfully treated by wafers and sobs? Is the pink tea the only court to try the roughneck who despoils the home? V to loan on Farms Several Good Cass Coun ty Farms for Sale on Very Reasonable Terms. See T. H. Pollock ionev THE LITTLE WHITE BOATS j Stevenson once wrote a child's ! poem about a little boy watching his tiny boat float away down-stream out of sight. It ended with this thought: "Away down the river, A hundred miles or more, Other little children Shall bring my boat Eshcre." Life has often been likened to a! river. Its source is hidden and its end unknown. Each individual is like a man sit- tinS on a river bank on a misty day. He looks l ack up the river and sees it come floating siltr.tly out of an down the stream and perceives it slipping away into enfolding mys- tery of the impenetrable. They come in the form of memory of stirring acts heroically performed and noble thoughts beautifully ex- pressed. j When Sir Philip Sidney, dying and' thirsty on the battlefield gave his last drop of water to a wounded sol- li!er "earuy. auu nfn cir auuic T- a. .II -tTt 1 A.

I'll lay me downj and bleed a while and then rise up and fight again." they set afloat little white boats which have come down- stream speaking to numberless people of courage and heroism. vhen Demosthenes said, "Great men are not always good, but good men are always great." When Mar- paper in one year than all the prev cus Arelius wrote, "Such as are thy ious ages of mankind. If we could habitual thoughts such also will bej multiply intelligence as fast as we the character of thy mind, for the do the means of informing it, the I cinl ic lT-f,l tVio tVi,nVi to " Wtion Pericles maintained "Brave deedsj their;' rioiirvii 1 1 i u not words, in memory." when James Lane Allen expressed the idea, "cherish you vis-j which tliO'IO,IS' cnerisn your lueais, cnerisn iiie Inusc tnat stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the; loveliness that drapes your purest : thought, for of these, if you but re main true to them our world will at jt be b-iilt," they were all. setting afloat little white 'boats of noble thoughts which have touched the shores where Individuals were in dis- couragement and dispair and have stirred them to hope and courage. J These little white boats of heroic acts and noble thoughts have come , . to us from those we never saw or knew, who were far away in the midst up the river, but they have heartened us and helped us live. i in the present those who fight heroicallv against odds and handi- down, or they may float "away down the river a hundred miles or more." But in either case they will bring happiness and renewed courage to someone. : o: CHRISTMAS CHIMES "Yes sir, I've bought my boy one of those electric trains and a whole string of track for Christmas," said a well-known business man to his neighbor. "It's a darned neat lay-out, too. Hanered if I don't believe I am go ing to play with it more than the boy does. I always wanted one when I was a kid. but never did get it." The neighbor smiled understand ingly. There was a sympathetic gleam, in h'"s eve when he said: "T i,ed to want a bicvele and I used to want a Dicycie, ana hoped every Christmas that Santa Claus would bring me one, but I never did get that bicycle and even ' n now'- 1 sometimes feel a strong temp-j 'tation to imy me a Dicycie. i neverj ee a newsboy or telegraph messenger bov spinning by on his bike, without fuHy endorsed Doan's Pills.

She walked in beauty through days of gold and blazonry, through nights of starry rapture. Everybody worshiped her. The glory of her made poets of us all. Her's was the magic of that wine of Burgundy.

GET RID OF THAT BACKACHE Plattsmouth People Point the Way. The constant aching of a bad back. The weariness, the tired feeling; Headaches, dizziness, nervousness, Distressing urinary disorders Are often signs of failing kidneys And too serious to be neglected. Get rid of these troubles! Use Doan's Pills a stimulant di uretic to the kidneys. Hosts of people recommend Doan's. This is a Plattsmouth case. You can verify it.

Every move I made sent sharp pains across my back and my back was so sore I could hardly rest at nSnt- 1 became dizzy and had headaches too My kidneys were ;weak and acted irregularly.
