tbanfson Journal. MBO. D. CAWOM, Editor mmd Prop. HARRISON, - - NEB. One swallow does not maae a spring. It merely starts an air ship. The biggest and most persistent of the floating lies Is the airship. Mr. Robert Fitzsimnions cannot hear Mr. Charles Mitchell. For which the public should return thanks. The Portland Argus says: "There are indications again that there Is a firebug In our midst" Better drink ice water. Professor Andree, who will try to reach the north pole this summer by balloon, will be certain to move in the highest circles If he succeeds. A Chicago conteniporay's headline, "Gets a Chicago Girl and Flees," is like ly U be misunderstood. There are no flies or fleas on the Chicago girl. And now a scientific sharp says that "to guard against disease milk, butter and cheese should be pasteurized." What's the matter with pasturizing the caw? A Boston man Is advertising for a boarding-house where they dou't have bicycle talk for breakfast, luncheon and dinner. He might try a deaf and dumb asylum. A London paper predicts that "there will be some thrilling encounters pret ty aoon about that historic Macedonian pass." Wouldn't It be well to order the conductors to take It up? In Philadelphia the other night Mr. Corbett announced that he was fairly whipped In Carson City. This con firms a popular belief that has gained currency since the 17th of March, Ignatius Donnelly has figured it out and declares that sun spots are respon sible for the Mississippi floods. The lesson in this is plain: Stop planting trees and building levees and knock the spots off Old Sol. The Harmony Grove (Ky.) Gazette says: "It has been our pleasure to re ceive into our home as a boarder the lady teacher at this place, and regret that domestic affairs have necessitated her going elsewhere. We are reluctant to give her up." How about "our" wife? A woman's bicycle club was organ ized in Detroit the other day, but the Free Press says that It collapsed with in a week because no two members could agree as to the uniform to be worn. When Colorado musters In Its first company of women militia there will be trouble. The Boston Herald has discovered an Inventor who has perfected an engine which discounts the best claims made for that Sleepy Eye, Minn., genius. The Boston man's machine Is "as large around as a saucer and two Inches thick," but It has thirteen horse power. This is considerably higher horse pow er than the Minnesota lie ever has reg istered. The bottom is being gradually knock ed out of the numerous airships that have been sailing athwart the empyrean for the last few weeks, and one of them at least has fallen to the ground for want of proper support. It has transpired that the aerial vessel depos ed and sworn to by about fifty Knights Od Ak-Sar-Ben of Omaha was nothing but a hot air balloon, to which was at tached a willow basket filled with ig nited shavings. While this Is calcu lated to discourage inventors it clears the Knights from the imputation of having too much corn juice aboard ad vanced by certain ribald jesters and scoffers In Omaha. American petroleum is largely Im ported in Italy, but this trade is almost exclusively In the hands of large com panies, who work in with the American petroleum monopolists, so that there Is little opportunity for private traders, The American companies ought to ex- port petroleum in bulk and maintain depots lu the great cities where it could be drawn off into cisterns, carts, or tinned In this country, where labor Is cheap. In Southern Italy, petroleum Is largely peddled from house to house for dally consumption, and whether it be American refined, Russian or native. It is Invariably drawn from American tins, with American packing boxes os tentatiously displayed on the peddlers' carts. They are frank, these Englishmen. To-Day ssys: "By all means, let us flzht and win the Transvaal. We are rnlns to flrht for void mines and terri tory If they cannot be got without flght Inx. Every nation has to play pirate at times." There Is every reason to believe that the advice will be taken. England has a fondness for gold mines, and the prevented theft of some In Auukii and others In Venezuela nas made her more anxious for those In the Transvaal. It la a brilliant policy that the ministry has evolved. "The people an dissatisfied because of our Turk Mi policy," tUf say. "80 we will steal Transvaal." And by this scheme they mope to escape the penalty of their cawardlce la Bnrope.

' rrrrrrt strr tutea that thP marrtasre which was to have been celebrated has leen postponed indefi nitely. Tlieae International matrimo nial affairs are always so Interwoven with financial complications that the opinion will prevail at first doubtless that the trouble has been caused by an unsatisfactory allotment of ducats. After a careful survey of the nomen clature of the case, however, it seems more reasonable to believe that Mia Campbell was unable to undergo the shock of passing the remainder of her life under the alphabetical pall of "the Princess Carlo Bourtn del Monte San- - . ta Maria dl Fauwtino."

By the same principle passengers on the platform of street cans, or who are suffered by conductors to stand upon ' the running footboards of open ears, ; must be protected. It 1 no answer to say they know the danger of their sit uation. They should not be permitted to etand there If the company refuses to be responsible for their safety. By the very act of allowing them to crowd and overcrowd such places there is an 1 Implied understanding that they shall be carried safely. The announcement of the death of Mrs. Theodore Tilton at her home in Brooklyn, N. Y., will revive to some ex tent recollections of the once famous Beecher-Tllton scandal, but It Is not likely that much will be said of It. The world has grown to incline too much to the opinion that this unfortunate woman's husband, still living, and In Paris of all places In the world, was too fantastic a crank to be able to. see anything unwarped. In Beechers own case the force of a great name and a great career was signally illustrated. He met the whole Impact of the charge with plump denial and his hold on the admiration of the public was scarcely shaken. But here, In this broken wom an, who after a quarter of a century of absolute retirement from the society she once graced is released by tardy death, is the real victim of the whole pitiful drama. It does not matter whether she was the victim of her husband's half crazy malignity, of the powerful preacher whom she almost worshiped, of a pharisaically censori ous society, or of all three she was none ine .ess a ioreer . v.i . .- f ufe , Q0 s,,ontJ1neous tim.

In either case her fate for all the long years since her great trial has been one of the saddest on record. It can be unbecoming In none of all the world to hope that she has Indeed "en tered into rest." Deputy Fifth Auditor of the Treas ury department John J. Willie, of Florida, has been dropped from the public service, but It seems probable that the public service will not be aware of the drop unless formally loU fied of the change. Mr. Willie is the greatest living exponent of the princi ple that a "public office Is a private snap." He has lived up to this ideal with a zeal that commands astonished admiration. During the last year he, was alment from bis post of official duty 234 days. But he must not be Judged by this record alone, for It ap pears that during the three previous years his total of absences each year was nearer 300. Mr. Willie has not been idle all this time, but has been attending strictly to private business In Florida, and keeping In constant touch with the financial end of the Govern ment hv havlnfi- his salarv sent to him weekly This has required of Mr. shade.

But, as he has been an excep tional man In all other respects, be seems to have been able finally to fix the salary affair to his satisfaction. The discovery of Mr. Willie's slnecuro Is chiefly important because of the pre- sumption that will be raised tiiat there are other Willies enjoying a similar ple thora of salary and absence of work. It does not seem probable that this Florida Willie can be the only man In the public serrlce whose labor for Uncle Sam has been confined to draw ing his salary. Possibly the other Wil lies have simply escaped detectlou, Just aa has this Willie for four years. Now that Secretary Gage has started the ball rolling let the other Willies be routed out and parted from tbe pay rolls. Chanced Krerr facntid.

The effect is to be noted in the picture showing a girl thus dressed. f-nme Sew Beauty Hint. A Chicago woman, who is no less cel ebrated for her beauty than for her walk aud apparently siontaneous poses.has innxirted a few hints on ac quiring grace. It appears from the ' aQ(1 8(U( th(J . " r..,...n 1,. .)..., 1 7".. ,,.,. . ,. ,, fr,.rn D graceful woman like Miss Ellen Terry who has really no other beauty, than from hours of practicing before the mirror. The mirror work should come afterward, when the principles of j graceful motion and pose have been I mastered by observation. The secret j of a good walk Is even simpler. F'.3I ' a poem with a particularly graceful rhythm and say a stanza or two over and over as you walk. A rbj'thtnlc ; walk will necessarily develop as the re sult. A girl who walks with poetry in her mind and on her lips will show poe try In her walk. For a beautiful face the recipe is not so new, though it Is the one that ever holds good. Bead good books. These will lead to habits of mind which cannot but leave their Imprint on the face. It is a rule that has never been known to fail. Newest ilvmtwear. The extravagant use of gloves is probably at its height Just now, for there must be one kind for driving, an other for bicycling, another for shop ping and still others for calling and evening wear. Those of light-weighted buckskin suede will be proiwr for driving, aud gray Is the preferred Scatters ' hildren. To keep a restless child quiet In church, an English paper advises, pro vide him or her with two pincush ions, one full aud the other empty of pins. 'The process of taking all the pins out of the full cushion and stick- ing tiiem iuiu luu empty one Is,"' It gladly says, "an absorbing employ ment, and one which does not quickly pall. It has tbe merit, too, of being noiseless." Imagine a churcbful of children quietly occupied thus. Canae Hard Feat area. A curious and often saddening story may be formed from the faces of the women one passes on tbe street One woman purses up her lips, another screws her eyes Into unnaturalness, while a third will wrinkle up her fore beaj and eyebrows until she looks ab solutely ugly. The trick Is an uncon scious one, but It Is none the less a trick and a bad one. There Is no reason why a woman should look forbidding and bad-tempered Just because she Is annoyed about something. Deep-seated trouble baa a way of writing Itself upon tbe face, whether we will or not. Kkkaasa, too, baa Its own ban ferritin. 1 and will not be concealed by art. But the frown caused by superficial trou bh'B should not be entertained by the face for an Instant We should strive to look aR pleasant as possible for the sake of others; a corresponding cheer fulness of teiuera;ueiit will Inevitably result and always to the sweetening of our nature. We cannot afford to go alKut with jf'oouiy faces. To depress others is not for us; our work is to cheer, to raise up, to comfort, but we shall nevrr do this unless we cultivate a pleasant demeanor aud cheerful tem per.

She celebrated her seventy -seventh birthday the other day. She Is as eloquent as of old and Is now engaged uion a certain Impor tant literary work.

A second application rid the garden of them for the season. I.a et in Hand Shake. This is tlie very latest way to shako hands: Two persons meet and clasp hands in the ordinary way. Then, still holding hands, there is a perceptible pause for a few seconds, and each is apparently inspired by a sudden im pulse to make the greeting more cor dial and let- conventional. As thotigh by an afterthought, the two drag each other closer and give each other's hands a hearty squeeze. Mrs. Marie Cnmminc Bemick. (Xew President of the Chicago Woman's Club.)

As soon aa her fingers are well trained to it and discharge their functions as thev ounlit you t-ee that she hardiy Deeds to think at all of what she Is doing, and that heart and soul wander oT to the topic which interest her most. You see a smile steal over her face as she re members her chi drcn's quaint vag aries, or she sighs as she thinks of the dying mother or the anxious hus band. Her heart and rouI are no longer in the mere work, elaborate though It be. The stitch has been thoroughly learned, the practice of it is merely) automatic "rellex action" as the' Dhysiolotflsts call it and the heartJ aud soul are at liberty to expatiate on any sub.ect which most deeply ln-j tcrests us. In a word, even the diffi cult technique in which she is en gaged has become for her a humdrum occupation. ow, when nature takes -o much pains to reduce the organlza Mori of even the highest skill to an automatic process Is It Ilkelv that there can be any great mislortune In the mere fact that a constantly In creasing proportion of the work of the wond tends to become automatic and falis naturally into the character of humdrum work?

We remember hearing how three sisters, all of them women of a good deal of intelligence and wari.th of charade:, were once comparinu their favorite occupations. ( ne of them said she enjoyed her mtisx so much, another that re iding poetry was her chief delig it, while the third, and certa nly the cleverest of the three, said; 'Well, for my part, there is nothing that soothes me so much as patching an old chemise."
