Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY, . - NEBRASKA. 'His ojeter leads an exceedingly simple life—but see what fate does to it! The Servian Cabinet has resigned. King Peter had better get in the stcrm cellar. One of the disagreeable things about living long is that it involves so many sacrifices. Sarah Bernhardt has completed her memoirs. Oddly enough, they make a fat, bulky volume. One of the nicest things about French duels is that even the innocent bystanders don’t get hit. Harvard is building the largest re flector telescope. She may with it dis cover a hope of beating Yale. A New York man carried a pig on the elevated railway. Presumably he mistook the coach for a refrigerator car. A famous beauty expert urges those who hanker for good looks not to worry. In other words, never run for office. Somebody has invented an umbrella that goes in the pocket, but no one has yet invented one that will stay where it is put. It is to be hoped that the bureau of corporations will not force the beef trust men to the wall. They would uteal the wall. The “simple life" has its charm, doubtless, but do its advocates mean to tell us that the man is happiest who is simply alive? Cassie Chadwick’s husband is re ported to be modest and retiring in his manner. Well, with Cassie in ac tion he can affqrd to be. The French duel is conducive to longevity, but a fair average of mor tality is maintained over there by an occasional automobile race. The average citizen of the United States eats seventy-five pounds of sugar in a year. Average reader, ^re you getting your full share? “Inexpressibly sorry!” says a New York Herald “Personal” advertise ment. What an eloquent phrase it is! How often you have felt that way! Rev. Dr. Zimmerman of Baltimore asks “What shali we do with our old men?” Adopt the reciprocity plan and care for them as they cared for us. A Parisian scientist has discove/ed that love is the result of a microbe. The boll weevil is not to be compared with this pestiferous microbe’s rav ages. One of the professors at the Uni versity of Chicago says all lovers of music are lazy. Let the public kindly get wrought up without unnecessary delay. The case of the Washington drug gist who was found dead at the pro scription counter is not easily under stood, for he was on the safe side of the counter. The Business Men's association of Washington, D. C., has elected Mr. Oyster as its president. This fur nishes additional proof that Mr. Oys ter is not a clam. A bank to be open night and day is projected in New York city, and it isn’t a faro bank, either. New York has always had that kind, and the dealers never sleep. Mark Twain’s books are being barred out of public libraries. Mark is an old man now, but it is with success, as with all other good things “better late than never.” Tommy Russell, who originated the title role in “Little Lord Fauntleroy” 20 years ago, has returned to the stage—but those who saw him then wouldn’t recognize him now. Among the truly thankful count also Mr. and Mrs. Cramer of New York, who have been married only nineteen months, and now rejoice in the pos session of two pairs of twins. The average man has the privilege of comforting himself every now and then with the thought that it isn’t al ways the men who have the mos brains who make the most money. Coming home from the St. Louis fair a Lyon county, Kan., woman occu pied an upper berth, and it is related that she startled the whole car by looking under the bed, from force of habit. Now that a woman’s society has pe titioned the Prussian minister of edu cation to prohibit the wearing of cor sets in girls’ schools, as inimical to health, which will protest most vigor ously, the corset manufacturers or the girls? Cristos Palademetrucotulos is held at Long wharf for entering the coun try illegally. He had trachoma, which is sore eyes, but Commissioner Bill ings didn’t say whether he acquired it from watching his name to see that none of it got away. A man in New Jersey rode a pig to pay a freak election bet. The solitary gfcam of almost human intelligence in the transaction was shown by the pig. He ran into a ditch and broke the man’s arm. Evidently the pig felt much more keenly than the man the Indignity of being made a monkey of. A burglar who entered a house at Concord, Iw A., cooked himself a meal and shavei using the razor which be longed to the man of the * house. There were a* indications, however, that ha nth the risk of taking a batl. ■ Chop Suey Pickles. One peck of green tomatoes, six large onions, six large green peppers, one cabbage. Chop the tomatoes and cabbage, letting them stand over night, with two small cups of salt each. Strain and wash thoroughly before adding the onions and peppers, the seeds of which must be removed or it will be too peppery. Chop onions and peppers, place all in a preserving kettle with 5 cents’ worth of each of the following spices: Cinnamon, cloves, celery seed, mace and allspice; two pounds of brown sugar, one quart of cider vinegar, or more if it gets too thick. Cook slowly for several hours. Velvet and Cloth. Fancy velvet jacket and cloth skirt, In black, with vest of white cloth and lace in sleeves. Bowknots of Artificial Flowers. A pretty form of decoration, now the craze in Paris, is bowknots of arti ficial flowers on ball gowns. For in stance, take a gown of white tulle, with a tiny vest of rosebud silk and three black velvet bows, above which are tiny tulle plaitings. A wreath of rosebuds lies against the neck and in the center of the front is a huge bowknot of rosebuds, hanging just as a ribbon would. Sashes are also made of flowers, and are dainty and rather new. Jam Pudding. Jam pudding is an improvement on the plain suet pudding. You make the suet paste and roll it out twice as long as wide. Spread it thick with a layer of jam till within two inches of the end, roll and tie up in a cloth, and boil for an hour and a half. If there is a coarse pattern on the cloth it marks tfce pudding and looks better than when plain. Bits of jam, togeth er with sliced bananas, covered with plain custard, is an easily prepared and nice looking dish for luncneon. Novel Lamp Shades. Printed nets make charming lamp shades. The odds and ends ot a new evening frock may be utilized in man ufacturing a shade. One of this sort consisted of black net, printed with pink and lavender orchids. A background and lining of lavender silk was first fitted over the plain cardboard frame. The leaves on the net were outlined with silver thread. The net was then applied over the silk. The edges of the shade and the places where sections of net and silk were joined together were then outlined with pale lavender col ored chiffon ruching. The fringe con sisted of glass beads, matching the tint of the silk. Sleeves Running Riot. The variety in sleeves continues to grow. The selection of madame’s sleeve is a point that, of all others, confuses and distracts her. The fash ionable sleeve of to-day may be close fitting from the hand to the shoulder. It may have a tiny shoulder cap. It may be air enormous leg o’ mutton. It may be finished at the elbow with frills and furbelows, or it may have a long gauntlet cuff, or a shorter one. It may be a puffed shoulder cap with a lace undersleeve, or it may be noth ing and everything all cast together in one mass, boasting no particular fashion, but displaying all the grace in the world. The long redingote, full of skirt, tight of bodice, and puffed as to sleeves, and draped as to lapels, has in its short semi-season evolution al most ceased to be a coat, and has in stead become a gown. A beautiful model is shown in blue velvet, whose front fastens very low in front, with but three buttons. The skirt is almost absurdly full, falling in numberless folds to the ankles. The sleeve is full at the top and fastens closely about -the forearm with tiny Jeweled but tons. The skirt of the costume worn with this is trained and flounced and otherwise provided with fullness to match the redingote. 8ilver and Gold. Gilt and silver colors are very smart for dress accessories. For in stance, the very newest belt for use with silk waists is the tinsel braid or silver one. These are at least four Inches broad, and when fastened In fronts give a pointed girdle jffect In the back. They are closed with gilt or silver frogs and have gilt or silver fringe tassels on the ends. This same idea is carried out in their ornaments, and the most exquis ite things are shown in the shops in gilt and silver flowers. They look like gauze, but are made of chiffon, which is dipped in gilt or silver tinsel after the ornament is made. Roses, clema tis, orchids, laurel leaf tiaras and butterflies are greatly favored for the chic evening coiffure. Vogues in Recent Coats. Fancy coats, whether they are of the Louis styles or the modified Direc toire, are all tight at the waist line, and where there is undue fullness in the sleeves it is above the elbow, and the vest of any period may antagonize the collar of any other. And of the making or revers and lapels there is no end. A weak solution of alum or soda will revive the colors in a dusty carpet. Nails driven first into a bar of soap will not split furniture or delicate woodwork. Clean plaster ornaments by dipping in cold starch, brushing the powder off lightly when dry. Tubs will not warp or crack open if the precaution is taken to put a pail of water into each directly after use. Equal parts of skimmed milk and water warmed will remove fly specks from varnished woodwork or furni ture. If tea is ground like coffee or crushed immediately before hot water is poured on, it will be nearly twice as strong. To Launder Laces. In laundering battenburg and renais sance laces it is better not to iron them. Instead, pin a white flannel cloth to the ironing board, and over this put a clean white piece of cheese cloth. Pin the lace down carefully at all the scallops and points, and stand | the board near a radiator or register where the heat will dry it quickly. The results are far more satisfactory than using an iron, and the lace will last twice as long. Corn Oysters. To a pint of corn pulp add the well beaten yolks of two eggs, two table spoonfuls of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoon of black pep per; mix well, and when the fat for frying is ready, add the stiflly beaten whites. Drop, oyster shape, from a spoon into hot fat and brown on both sides. Spread with butter and eat hot. Tabs finish many a bodice back. Plush is much used in smart head gear. Soft fabrics prevail for afternoon wear. That Frenchy little velvet bow is i being overworked. Warm colors reign supreme in the complete wardrobe. A curious red on the crushed straw berry order is favored. Hand embroidery on tucks Is dainty for the debutante’s frock. The tiniest fans' are of peacock feathers with tortoise-shell sticks. Skirt flounces caught down at the bottom In puff effect are new—old. Every gown has its shoe or slipper to match and the stocking follows suit. Exquisitely lovely are the pale green art nouveau combs with jeweleA floral tops. The blouse with strapped front and a long silk scarf pulled through is popular. Hats of moss, with clusters of red berries tucked in the green, are a lovely novelty. Velvet blouses, both simple and elaborate, are to be taken into con sideration this year. Ideas From Paris. Women are giving closer attention to the harmony of line and idea of hat and coat this winter than ever before. The fact that the Parisienne of wealth and taste this season frequently chooses to make herself the exact re production of some old painting, every detail of costume being carried out, is having its influence on less favored mortals whose means or opportunities will not permit of such lavish costum ing. Quite naturally the fashion of the season demand in headwear the sweeping ostrich plume. Brown velvet waist. Blouse of brown velvet, made with a box plait in the middle of the front and gathered to a yoke trimmed with soutache and buttons. The little pockets are trimmed with the soutache and buttons and with a fancy galloon. The latter also trims the odd revers, or cravat ends, which are bordered with a narrow lace ruf fle and fastened at the top with fancy buttons and little fans of lace. The standing collar is also of lace. The full sleeves are finished with in fancy bands, bordered with the gal loon and flaring cuffs, similarly bor dered, the latter falling over lace ruf fles. The girdle is of velvet, ornamented in front with galloon-trimmed taba Gloves, Veils and Chains. One of the most stylish gloves shown is of very fine quality pique glace kid, with two toned, three strand embroidery on the back. Another smart glove is a gauntlet affair of pique suede, with two toned embroidery on the back and with the gauntlets, which are two inches wide, elaborately embroidered in colored silks or tinsels. The pastel shades, so long shown, have been supplanted by gloves of far more brilliant shades and, oddly enough, the evening shades are far less brilliant than those shown for or dinary day wear. Fev novelties are shown this sea son in veils. A pretty mesh veil shows a flat dot or spot in the same color woven into the veil, varying from three-eighths of an inch to twice that width in diameter. Sets of coral chains—one for the neck, the other for the wrist—are seen. The beads are very small and are worn on the street as well as else where. TWO NEW YORK MODELS. r 1. Reception gown for debutante, of champagne-colored crepe de sole, with folds of the material giving a fichu effect over a vest of Irish point. A girdle and sash of brown velvet corre spond with the hands of velvet round the skirt, and a champagne taffeta hat with a sweeping, brown feather com pletes a charming toilette. 2. "At Home" toilette of pale blue chiffon, with a row of small blue vel vet bows down the lace vest the same color as the girdle. The chiffon is gathered fan like through lace rings, and flares very full, edged with rich lace, forming flounces oo the sleeves and skirt. Danger in Health Fads - • . ''*» “There are people,” said La Roche foucauld, “who would never have been In love had they never heard talk of It.” There are people, too undoubtedly, who would never—or “hardly ever”— bo out of health if they thought less about the matter, fo* it i? just as pos sible to take too much care of the health as too little, and it probably is eyery bit as mischievous. We have all heard of the “green eyed monster” jealousy, who “makes the food he feeds on.” The health worrier does much the same. He or she broods so mournfully over some little symptom or ailment that depres sion of spirits results, and depression is a fruitful parent of both mental and physical ills. A medical writer of eminence said lately that he “never knew a strict dietarian who did not after a time be come a confirmed dyspeptic.” People who are afraid to open their windows lest a draft should give them neuralgia, who are afraid to go out if there is a little rain, or a little wind, or a little cold, because they are “so delicate,” infallibly become more so, ana in time make themselves as sen sitive as hot house plants. There are, of course, certain general rules of health which every one should understand and comply with if they wish to avoid illness, such as the dan ger of breathing impure air in unven tilated rooms, of drinking impure wa ter, contracting chills, eating and drinking too imich, and so forth. This knowledge, however, need not turn the care of the health into a bugbear. We can make a “fad-’ of our health as of any other useful thing. We can grow monomaniacal on the value of fresh air or woolen un derclothing, and the mischief of our mania is not the harm we do our selves as much as the damage we do others in turning them against the ob ject of our fad. Take the wearing of wool, for in stance. Have not many people been resolutely set against it by those fad dists who persist in wrearing their flannel shirts ostentatiously and who maintain that their hygienic value is destroyed if their hideousness is softened by wearing linen collars and cuffs with them?—Queen. Few Friends in City “While in New York this time,” said the man from Alabama, “I have ob served one habit of certain people I met that impressed me as being very peculiar and also rather pathetic. I heard several persons actually count the number of people they knew in the whole town. To a man hailing from a section of the country where acquain tances are counted by the hundreds in tead of the tens, that method of cen sus taking seemed a tremendous busi ness. With us it would be an impos sible task to sit down and make a list of the people with whom we have a speaking acquaintance. Up here it is no trick at all. A cousin of mine who moved North two years, ago was the first person I saw perform the stunt. “ ‘Would you believe,’ she said, ‘that although I have lived in New York all this time, there are only 102 peo ple in town to whom I could speak if I met them in the street without tak ing chances of being arrested as an officious stranger.’ “I laughed at her. ‘How in the world,’ said I, ‘did you happen to get your calling list down to such a fine point?’ “ ‘This is not my calling list,’ said she. ‘That consists of only six names. The 102 are just acquaintances, and include the janitor, my washerwoman ar.d the boy named Willie down in the grocery.’ “Her admission struck me as really pitiful. ‘Why don’t you branch out?’ I asked. ‘“Branch out?’ she cried. ‘Oh, my dear man, if you had lived in New York for a while you wouldn’t say anything about branching out. Be sides, I am not alone in my desolation There are lots of other folks in this town in the same fix, only worse. They couldn’t get up to the hundred mark to save their lives.’ “Later I found that she was right, but, although the habit of counting one's acquaintances is common enough, I still think it strange and de cidedly touching."—New’ York Herald. After Clash o Battle “The day’s fighting was finished, but not the day’s work, nor the day’s drudgery, nor the day's misery,” says Frederick Palmer, in his book, “With Ktiroki in Manchuria,” of one of the actions of the First army. “The wounded were yet to be brought in, and the dead and the fuel to burn them collected by weary limbs. The plunging fire of the Russians against their foe, struggling through the rough fields and over rougher, untilled slopes, had caused the division 600 casualties, including the death of a colonel. “Late in the afternoon a deluge of rain washed the blood off the grass. The flood of water turned dry beds into dashing rivulets. The flood of slaughter, also settling toward the val ley .passed on by the single hospital tent—already congested at daybreak from the night attack—into the vil lage, whose population was crowded into a few houses in order that the wounded might be crowded into oth ers. Through every doorway you caught a glimpse of prostrate figures and of white bandages with red spots which made them like wrapped flags of Japan. “Dripping hospital corps men brought in dripping burdens covered with blankets or with the matting in which the rice and horse fodder of the army are transported. When dark ness came the lanterns of the search ers twinkled in and out of the hillside. Dawn found them still at work col lecting stray Russian wounded, who had lain suffering all night in the rain for $1.50 a year and the glory which the Czar’s service brings them. In the bushes, in the declivities between the rocks of many square acres—could every fallen man be gathered? How many cries coming faintly from fever ishly dry lips and finally dying into a swoon were unanswered? At some future time, when a Chinese peasant stumbles over a set of bones, the world will not be the wiser.” Thought the City Tame It was at a dinner party, and the hostess, coming up to her best friend, whispered in her ear: “Would you mind saying just a tiny word to her by and by? She doesn't know a soul, and the women are so horrid to strangers.” The stranger indicated was incon veniently in town from Snakeville, Ore, and being a distant relative, had to be crushed in at the dinner, under protest, at the last moment. The hostess’ friend good naturedly promised to devote herself after din ner to the Snakeville widow. But the fair unknown did not meet her ad vances with the embarrassed delight which such civilities should have com mended. “It’s awfully hot in this par lor!” was her first greeting, in a tone in which there lurked a certain com bative quality. By and by the con versation steered around to travel. “Have you traveled much?” asked the hostess’ friend suavely. “Oh, I’ve been everywhere. Went around the world with my brother, who was engineering. Why, it was in Russia that I met the Colonel.” (The “Colonel” was evidently her dead lord.) ‘Yes,” she went on, “we got engaged at Tsarkoe Selo, in the grotto they call Caprice.” This was unusual, romantic, and the New York woman said so. “Ah!” sighed the woman from Bnakeville, “yes! it was romantic. There’s been a lot of that in my life. When a body’s traveled round and been on the plains and army posts and hunting buffaloes, a place like your New York seems awfully tame. I kind o’ pity you all here!” The woman agreed that we were, in fact, very tame—chimney sparrows, house flies, hopping about, tepid and insignificant, in search of entertain ment.—New York Press. “Pa Et Tabasco Sauce When pa firs’ et tabasco sauce—I'm smil ing ’bout it yet. Although his suhsekent remarks I al ways shall regret. We’d come to town to see the sights, and pa remarked to me, ’ We’ll eat at a bong-tong hotel an sling some style,” says he. An’ then he sort o’ cast his eye among the plates an’ all. An’ says. “That ketchup mus’ be good, the bottle is so small.” An’ then he took a piece o’ meat and covered it quite thick. When pa firs’ et tabasco sauce and rose to make his kick. It all comes back so plain to me, I reko lect it well, , . . ITe just was talkin’ mild and calm, an then he gave a yell . An’ tried to cave the ceilin by buttin with his head. “Er-hooh! er-hooh! Fire! Murder! Ilooh! 1 can t tell all he said, But when they heard his heated words, six women lef' the room,.

We laid him out upon a board an’ fanned him quite a while. , An’ pa, he sort a’ gasped at first, an then he tried to smile. An’ says. "Just heat a poker now, an run it down my neck. T I want to cool off gradual; it s better, X expeek." But when he’d got me out o doors, he says. "I want to get That there blame ketchup recipe, an learn just how it’s het. So I can try it on the boys when you an ma git hum. Till they. too. think the condiment is mixed with kingdom come.” —Boston Globe. Learning How to Shoot I believe practice with the rifle the .true way to learn to shoot best with the shotgun. The old idea was that shooting a rifle made you too slow with the shotgun and that the shotgun spoiled your rifle shooting. There is something in the latter, but not much in the former idea. If one were shoot ing continuously with either and should suddenly change to the other, he might not at once do as good scoot ing as if he had tried both; it might take a few days’ practice to get used to the new conditions. But rifle shoot ing can injure shotgun shooting only by making one too alow; and my ex perience is that one cannot be so in jured except temporarily. By beginning with the rifle you eli minate at once most of the trouble from excitement, because you know you can rarely hit a flying bird. If it makes you slow you will find little trouble in becoming quick enough. The man who begins with quick shoot ing and becomes a good shot after the expenditure of barrels of ammunition does not become so by virtue of mak ing a machine of himself. It is be cause in making a machine of himself he unconsciously acquires the habit of seeing the gun and game in the same quick glance which he would not do at first. A quick shot thus be comes accurate with time; and a show shot will become quick with time and with far less practice. There is no reason why one should not learn in one season to get sufficient enjoyment out of the gun if one will but remem ber that the pleasure Is not in the size of the bag or in the cleanness of the score, and never was.—Outing. Attraction of Afrinrifes. People who believe In "affinities” ar gue that it is impossible that the per sons akin to one another should never meet. Their theory, which no one can deny to be pretty, Is that the power of thought must bring such persons to gether. Thoughts, they say, wander through space, like electric messages, and if we think about a person we shall affect that person in some way. By our thoughts we will attract our affinities. Looked Like a Framed Painting. He had been standing for five min utes in the lobby of one of the large hotels looking at the pretty cashiei through her little office window. Fin ally he turned to a man near by ano said: “Gosh, zat’s sha pretty picture, j Wisht I cud paint like zat. Thought [ i saw th’ head move, but things allez 1 more when I’ve had too much.’’ Then be walked slowly away.—Kansas City Times. Power in the Wifely Smile. The man who finds his wife smiling happily when he comes home at nights will be likely to stay there. If he should go out the memory of her smile will make him feel that she doesn’* care, and he will soon find himsell wanting to go back home and muki her care. « Doing Great Work. Florisant, Mo., Dec. 19th.— (SpecialPP •—That Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing a great work in curing the more ter rible forms of Kidney Disease, such aa Bright’s Disease, Dropsy and Diabetes, everybody knows. But it must also be noted that they are doing a still greater work in wiping out thousands of cases of the earlier stages of Kid ney Disease. Take for instance, Mrs. Peter Barteau of this place. says:— I have been subject to pains in my back and knees for about three years, but since I have been taking Dodd’s Kidney Pills I have been entirely cured." Others here tell similar stories. In fact, in this part of Missouri there are scores of people who have cured the early symptoms of Kidney Disease with Dodd's Kidney Pills. The use ot the Great American Kidney Remedy thus saved not only the lives of Kid ney Disease victims, but thousands of | other Americans from years of siffer I ings. _ _ i It is not strange that the man who makes his faith depend on his knowl edge frequently exhibits innocence ol both. Important to Mothers. Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, a safe and rare remedy for infanta and children, and see that it Bears the Signature of In Use For Over 30 Years. The Kind Yon Have Always Bought. A woman is apt to mistake her mar riage certificate for a lecture license. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack ages, and the price is the same. 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand Defiance and save much time ami money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. The best way to be grateful is to give another occasion for gratitude. Mt Do our Clothes Look Yellow? Then use Defiance Starch, it will keep them white—16 oz. for 10 cents. i But few men have the ability tc combine business with pleasure. A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES.
