Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY, - - - NEBRASKA. Among musicians it has always been supposed that the true magnetic Pole was Paderewski. Nevertheless, the average prize fighter would be unwise to seek trou ble with Mr. Fitzsimmons. So Fiona McLeod was William Sharp, who has just died in Sicily. Now, don’t say you knew It all along. "Chinese Again in Arms?” inquires a newspaper headline. Certainly, some of them; those under one year old. A man realizes that his wife Isn’t an angel when he has to help her Into her dresses that button up the back. New York drinks $1,000,000 worth of liquor every day. That is, New York pays $1,000,000 a day for liquor to drink. May Yohe now asks for a divorce from Putnam Bradlee Strong as a matter of form, or habit, it Is difficult to tell which. A girl Is suing a rich man for $10,000 damages because he kissed her once. It is wrong for a man to tantalize a girl that way. Admiral Togo says, “Victors tie your helmet strings tighter!” Is that so they will not be tempted to talk through their hats? Mexico, with a comfortable surplus on hand, cheerfully corroborates Fred Grant’s assertion that it Is easier to handle than a deficit. Some of Dr. Osier’s published ex pressions seem calculated to bear out his theory that a man over 40 is lack ing in intellectual power. It must break Castro’s heart to see another South American republic figuring in an International complica tion in which he has no part. That New York manager may be right in thinking he can give opera without chorus girls, but we’ll bet he can’t sell it—not in New York. During the first ten months of the year just closed 25,000 Americans car ried $10,000,000 to Canada. No, Rol lo; they were not bank cashiers. Vice Chancellor Stevenson of Jersey City has Just rendered a decision on the bench that a woman's tongue can not be enjoined. He must be married. Abdul Hamid has promised to make reforms in Macedonia, though it may be doubted whether the people living there will ever know about this. A California physician declares that brain action in the creation of thought is electrical in its nature. That would account for a great many shocking ideas. i _ Says the Portland Oregonian, “no woman ever looked like a goddess In a dressing sacque.” And a goddess in a dressing sacque is not at her best at that. An esteemed contemporary’s office poet yearned for a Christmas gift in the form of “her wet little kiss on my cheek ” How would merely a damp one answer? Does Prof. Osier’s advice to elderly men to keep away from men of their own age and associate with their Juniors mean that they ought to go out with the boys? So far as we are personally con cerned the philanthropists who are busy warning the country of the evils of inherited wealth might just as well save their breath. A Boston court has been asked to enjoin a jealous woman from using the telephone to connect with her hus band’s office. Can the woman who made her jealous still use the ’phone? A Brooklyn woman, suing for di vorce on the ground of cruelty, coyly admitted that she pulled her tyran nical husband frum under the bed by the hair of his head and then kept on pulling. A Massachusetts man aged 83 has Just finished cutting and stacking 100 cords of stove wood, which he began working on last March. And it is safe to say that he Isn’t troubled with dyspepsia, either. Major C. J. R. Miller questions the accuracy of the report that he has eloped with Bob Fitzsimmons’ wife. As he has not seen the lady in several months he is inclined to think the story is exaggerated. According to a Boston parson, "a man who is happily married can save $2 for every dollar he saved while single.” The man who is unhappily married has to spend the extra dol lar in drowning his woes, we pre sume. A French scientist has discovered a compound that brings worms to the surface and makes them squirm themselves to death, according to the New York Telegram. However, we still pin our faith to the old reliable early bird. It is reported that a Spanish sena tor has stolen $7,000,000 from the royal treasury. Next thing we know he will be writing from prison to a lot of American suckers, telling them he has hid the money, and he will give it to whoever will act -as guard ian of his young daughter. A Syracuse doctor is said to have permitted consumption to get the bet ter of him so that he might study it. As the experience killed him, there is some curiosity as to what he intends to ^o with the knowledge acquired. Three Wives Meet. An Arkansas City man who had twice been divorced took his third wife to the theater recently. His two earlier wives have become good friends, and when the couple took their seats the man looked around, and, to his consternation, saw he had three wives in a row beside him. The Chronic Bachelor. The age of a house can sometimes be concealed by a few coats of fresh paint Theoretically, it is the same with a woman.—Cleveland Leader. Camels Outdone. Other creatures than the camel are able to get along for extended period^ without drinking. Sheep in the south western deserts go for forty to sixty days in winter without drink grazing on the green, succulent vegetation ol that season. To Break up Fresh Cold. It is well to remember that a fresh cold in the head may sometimes b« broken up Immediately if treater early by snuffing warm salt water up the nose from the palm of the hand. Own Carriages in Common. A curious custom exists in Genoa, Many of the well-to-do people, as well as? those in moderate circumstances, do not own either horses or carriages. They own only an interest in them. Four or five or half a dozen great families club together and buy a car riage and horses; then they arrange among themselves the days the differ ent families will use it. Water Supply Decreases. A shrinkage in the world’s water supply has been predicted by M. Mar tel, the French explorer of caves, in a lecture. Through the erosion and corrosion of the earth surface, he said, the water level is being continually lowered, and unless measures for pre venting this were adopted, a large part of the world will a few centuries hence die of thirst What She Means. When a married woman says she has all the rights she wants, what she really means is that she has a good husband. In America most men are so much better than the law that most women never find out how bad the law is.—Woman’s Journal. A New Being. Shepard, 111., Jan. 8th (Special)— Mrs. Sarah E. Rowe, who is residing here, says she feels like "A New Be ing,” although she is in her fifty-sev enth year. Why? because she has taken Dodd’s Kidney Pills, that well known medicine that has put new life into old bodies, and has come as a God-send into homes of sorrow and suffering. She says:— “No one knows what awful torture I suffered with Rheumatism and Kid ney Trouble, until I got cured by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. This grand rem edy drove the Rheumatism out of my body, nothing else ever did me any good. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are worth one hundred times their price, for they have made me, though I am fifty seven years old, a new being. I am in better shape now than I have been for many years and I owe it all to Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” The Kiss in Ancient Times. Individuals of princely rank once expected the kiss of respect from their inferiors, but this custom is al most obsolete. A kiss was conferred as a formal mark of favor by crowned heads at jousts and tournaments Princess Margaret, daughter of James I of Scotland, kissed the poet Alain Vhartier for eaying so many nice things about her, though he was one of the ugliest men In the kingdom. Substitute for Eyesight. The value of a visual apparatus is 30 apparent that one can hardly con ceive of a creature achieving much without it, yet among ants will be found many diligent and effective ‘workers” who are blind, though ant soldiers and other members of the ant community have large eyes. The blind ants, who do the most complicated work of the nest, have substitute senses in their antennae. First Apples Brought to America. John Winthrop is usually held re sponsible for the introduction of the apple into the New World. But as a matter ot fact when Winthrop an chored off Cape Ann the recluse Black stone already had apple trees grow ing about his cabin at Shawmut Neck. Some of the best of our American ap ples were brought over by the Hugue nots. who settled in Flushing, L. I., in 1660, and planted there, among oth ers, the pomme royale or spice apple. INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION. How Food Headed Off the Insidious Disease. The happy wife of a good old fash ioned Michigan farmer says: "In the spring of 1902 I was taken ®Ick—a general breaking down, as it were. I waB excessively nervous, could not sleep well at night, my food seemed to do me no good, and I was so weak I could scarcely walk across the room. “The doctor said my condition was due to overwork and close confine ment and that he very much feared that consumption would set in. For several months I took one kind of medicine after another, but with no good effect—in fact, I seemed to grow worse. “Then I determined to quit all medi cines, give up coffee and see what Grape-Nuts food would do for me. I began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar and cream and bread and butter three times a day. “The effect was surprising! I be gan to gain flesh and strength forth with, my nerves quieted down and grew normally steady and sound, sweet sleep came back to me. In six weeks’ time I discharged the hired girl and commenced to do my own housework for a family of six. This was two years ago, and I am doing It rtill and enjoy it" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason. Read the little book. “The Road to Wellvllle," In Pkgm Tailor-Made la Elaborate. The long-coated suit is variously ex pressed this season, but there is a cer tain unanimity on the part of the tail ors that a rich broadcloth is the best vehicle for their work. A soft shade of deep rose red, just what one sees in a jacqueminot rose, is employed for this smart design, and there is just a touch of velvet richly embroidered that makes a sug gestion of a vest edging. A taffeta passementerie is used to border the open front all the way down, and the easy fullness of the top drops into a sihartly curved ceinture. The coat skirts are applied with a prettily shaped hip seam, deep plaits in the center front and back, making for a graceful fullness. The sleeve is a full glgot model, the shoulder built out in the form of a cap, and the full ness tapering below the elbow drops into a stiff cuff that rises well up *rom the wrist. Girl’s Dancing Dress. Young girl’s dancing dress of white embroidered tulle made up over white Bilk, all trimmed with white satin rib bon and Valenciennes lace, forming little fan-shaped ruffles on the skirt. The full blouse has a yoke of guipure bordered with a white satin ribbon, and the corslet girdle is of white liberty. The short, puffed sleeves are finished with the ribbon and lace ruffles. To Make Nightingale Sleeve. The nightingale sleeve is worn a great deal upon the tea gown, for it is comfortable and pretty, and it can be made at home, which is a great thing in its favor. If you have an old sleeve rather large and flaring at the hand, you can slit it right up to the shoulder, letting it fall wide open. Now you will want to make a series of big eyelt holes, through which you can run ribbons, so that they will tie in little bows on top of the arms, or if you do not feel equal to the task of making the eyelet holes, you can take rings nicely embroidered and sew them to the sleeve, after which you can run ribbons through these rings. Separate Waist The foundation of one charming lit tle separate waist—and they are more in favor than ever, if that were possi ble—is of tucked mousseline de sole, with narrow Richelieu plaitings dis posed so as to mark the groups of tucks. This fashions the entire cor sage, over which is laid a bolero in rather coarse Irish crochet, following an irregular outline, and which strap pings of pale pifik satin ribbon serve to define. The sleeve Is puffed almost to the elbow and a very full ruffle is fashioned of ribbons shirred to form a circular shape. The ceinture is of the pale pink satin. Brilliant Colored Feathers. Flaunting plumage of most vivid colorings decks the winter hats of the woman of fashion, and, curiously enough, not even the most brilliant feathers are left as nature colored them. They are dyed even more bril liantly to suit the millinery freak of the moment. Peacock tail plumage is used in its metallic blue shade, while the tail feathers of the same bird are dyed a rich brick red. A London milliner yesterday tempt ed her customers with a purple hat of the Gainsborough type, which was one glorious mass of that magnificent color known as eminence. The feath ers on the hat repeated the dye. A single ostrich feather, perched upright, with the tip drooping over a diamond diadem, is a form or adorn ment that is very extraordinary, but truly piquant when worn by a hand some women in her hair as the coif fure ornament that accompanies an empire evening robe. The color must match the gcfwn. Brilliant, indeed, are orange and amber marabout feathers, which are as fluffy as a duckling’s coat, and like a rosy cloud is the same plumage when dyed a bright cerise.—London Daily Mail. Clean the keys of a piano with a cloth moistened with alcohol. Salad dressing should not be mixed with salad until Just before serving. Carrots and turnips will keep for weekd, if not months, if placed in lay ers in a box of sand. Keep macaroni in an air-tight re ceptacle and plunge into boiling salt water before cooking. Add borax to the water in which the dish towels are washed and it will aid in making them white and soft. Rub the bottom crust of the pie with the white of an egg and it will prevent the juice from soaking into it. Clothes lines and pegs will keep In good condition much longer if they are boiled for ten minutes before using. Hair-Dressing Style. School girls are adopting a style of hair dressing Introduced by a leading actress—one that the family photo grapher of several years ago commem orates. The front hair is waved in natural faslon, there is a parting that loses its way under a light fluff and two long braids crossed at the back and brought around the head like a fillet. udoir niidencea A little sealskin bolero with a cloth skirt is a nobby combination. A tulle ruche and a tight little wreath of roses trim the mushroom hat. Amethyst is a color that is seen more frequently as the season ad vances. The luxurious evening coat is lined throughout with ruffles of nar row Valenciennes. There is a new Inlet with horizon tal stripes of lace, which makes love ly evening gowns. When one wishes to appear partic ularly well, the becoming picture hat remains the favorite. Blouses of satiny leather in white or colors are the modish shirt waists for motoring or driving. Belts of gold braid are fetching and will brighten up the dark shirtwaist suit to be so much worn this winter. Many women have their gowns made up with two skirts, one short and severe, the other long and trimmed. Such a pretty opera bag for the woman In black is of black Irish crochet over silk. The mounting is gun metal. Chop Suey. From half a chicken cut all the meat into strips one and a half inches long. Slice one large onion thin. Soak a handful of dried mushrooms ten min utes in water, then cut off the stems. Cut a stalk of celery into inch bits. Wash and slice six Chinese potatoes. Put the chicken into a frying pan with some fat and fry until done but not crisp or hard. Add the onion and cook for five minutes, then pour in enough Chinese sauce to make the contents of pan brown, and stir in the mushrooms. Add a little water and simmer for ten minutes. Stir in the celery, then the potatoes and cook until done, adding a little floured wa ter to thicken the gravy. Serve with boiled rice. Short-Waisted Girl Is Glad. The long-pointed waist-line is dis appearing. New gowns from the su preme dress authorities show a short, round waist, with long skirt lines from the belt down; whereat the naturally short-waisted woman—who has been hard to put to^t to draw her bodice down into the unconscionably long lines prescribed—will rejoice. Louis Seize Coats. A narrow strip of velvet and satin in two shades of rose was the mater ial chosen for a jaunty Louis Seize basquine of a dinner-frock. The coat was ornamented with large buttons of velvet in the darker shade of rose, set in paste and worn with fichu of creamy mousseline and lace embellished with embroidery done in narrow satin rib bon in two shades of rose. These Louis Seize coats keep their hold upon feminine fancy and will doubtless retain their prestige throughout the winter. Almost every frock and coat of the moment is trimmed, at least to some slight ex tent, with velvet. A velvet collar is a foregone con elusion upon almost every coat, what ever be the general nature of the coat. The long coat, the Empire coat, and the bolero vary widely In line, but all have this one feature in com mon. Graduated bands of velvet will be a popular skirt, trimming for silk and wool frocks, while velvet revers, col lars, buttons, bows and girdles are legion. Of Rainproofed Cloth. The rainproofed cloths are among the best choice in tailor goods. A soft grayish brown, one of the castor shades, was chosen, and this is pi quantly bound with narrow black vel vet on both coat and skirt. The coat is one of those short-walsted affairs, with a clever cut drop that comes just to the curve of the hips. Fancy bind ing and velvet-covered buttons for the trimming. The skirt is of medium width, plaited at the top and with a scalloped flat flounce applied on the hem. Lingerie Sets. Lingerie comes in sets this season as hitherto, but there are more arti cles In the set. A complete set, as made up for a trousseau, had these pieces: There was a combination un dergarment made of the palest pink wool; there were four delicate French lawn garments trimmed with pink; and, in addition to these, there was a corset cover made like a bolero with sleeves to be worn under a long sleeved shirt waist. Severe but Smart. A most becoming gown is made in white cloth, the back and sides plain, the waist draped across the front in folds that do not reach quite to the waist line in front; the front breadth outlined with rows of flat crochet but tons. A V-shaped yoke, unlined col lar and narrow ruffles finishing the elbow sleeves are of ecru lace of fine quality. There is not a touch of color anywhere, and the lines are severely simple, but if the gown be well cut— and it must be that—it'is wonderfully smart, and its very simplicity adds to its attractiveness. In black or in light colors this same model has been made many times, but has never proved so satisfactory as in the white. Dainty Crepe de Chine Waist. Blouse or pink crepe de chine made with groups of fine tucks and elab orately trimmed with lace insertion and applique embroidery. The yoke and elbow sleeves are trimmed in the same way, and the corslet girdle and knots of short taffeta. Willow Plumes Much Used. In day headgear the willow plumes hold supreme sway, and many are the soft falling ways in which these won derful feathers are employed. Like the tinsel flowers, they have an arti ficial air, but this very hothouse qual ity stamps them as modish aristocrats. None of these precious tinseled things and fanciful feathers may be seen next season. However, the period of their reign cannot help but be remem bered. /VN^WWVWWWWA/WVW^AAr RECEPTION AND DINNER GOWNS. The elegant gown at the left Is of wine-colored bengallne. The full skirt is gathered at the top and is en circled at the bottom with a band of the silk, which is stitched to leave the edges free, forming little frills. The corsage forms a sort of bolero trimming with bands of the material and motifs of gold embroidery. The fronts, finished with revers of the material, open over a cu^uiisette of fine white lace. RufSes of this lace also finish the short puffed sleeved. The draped girdle and choux are of gre€h liberty. The other gown one of the “reforme" toilets—is of green crepe de chine made up over a fitted princess lining. The skirt is trimmed with a rich silk embroidery mingled with gold .and silver. The corsage is finished at the bottom by a band of velvet stimulating a bolero, from under which escapes a blouse effect of the crepe de chine. The bolero is finished around the neck with a little rippled collar of green velvet, headed by a band of tan vel vet, of which the knot is also made; this is fastened with a gold or silver buckle. The chimisette, hardly more than a collar, is of white silk or crepe de chine. The short tucked sleeves are tucked in chevrons on the outside and finished with bands of velvet and lace ruffles. LONG YEARS AT REST BODY OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MANY CENTURIES OLD. Remains of Prehistoric Man, Who Must Have Lived Ages Before Christ, Have Finally Found Place In British Museum. The oldest known body of any hu man being reposes in the Egyptian gallery of the British museum. All that is known concerning it is taken from the inscription which was found on the case containing the mummy. This says: “Body of a man who was buried in a shallow grave hollowed out of the sandstone in the west bank of the Nile in upper Egypt. Before burial the body was treated with a preparation of bitumen and was ar ranged in the posture in which it now lies, on its left side, with the hands before the face and the knees drawn up nearly on a level with the chin. The grave, which has been roughly imitated by the model here exhibited, was covered with the slabs of un worked stone, and in it, beside the body, were disposed flint knives and a number of vases, partly filled with the remains of funeral offerings. The man probably belonged to a fair skinned, light haired race, which may be regarded as one of the aboriginal stocks of Egypt, whose settlements were usually found on the west bank of the Nile. The style of the flint in struments found in the grave indicates that the man lived in the later neo lithic period of Egypt; that is, in re mote ages, long before the rule of Menes, the first historical king of Egypt.” A wandering Arab was the first one to see this grave and he reported his find to a British official, who immedi ately sent a couple of soldiers to guard it day and night. The body is not a mummy of the ordinary historic Egyp tian period, such as Rameses. the father of the Pharaoh of the Exodus. It was never bound up in linen or cased in a painted coffin, but was merely coated with a preparation of bitumen, called by the Arabic word mumia, hence our word mummy. This man must have hunted along the banks of the Nile before the time of the earliest mummied king which the museums possess—before the time of Menes, who was supposed to have ruled Egypt about 5004 B. C. There were previous to that time two pre historic races, one the conquerors and the other the conquered, from which sprang the Egyptian race of thf earliest dynasties. It is with these remote stocks that this man has to do. Considering the condition in which he was found it is evident that he was associated with a late period of the new stone age of Egypt. He was buried in a characteristically neolithic grave and has neolithic pots and instruments of flint about him. They are like all other neolithic pots and chipped flint weapons and knives found in other parts of the world. The fine, thin flint knives were placed in the grave as a part of the funeral ritual. They should be compared with Egyptian flints of a known his toric age, and they will be found to be almost identical with them. There is, of course, no inscription of any kind on the pots, knives or graves, all having been made long before the invention of any written language. Certain Egyptian documents of great antiquity mention a race called the Trennennu, who had red hair and blue eyes. This man has hair of a distinct auburn shade. Thinks They Are Safe. In the spring term of the past year the athletic young women of Smith college developed a passion for base ball. In conversation with a distin guished visitor at the college, Presi dent I* Clark Seelye spoke of the fresh enthusiasm which the students were manifesting in the national game. The visitor, having his own Ideals of Intelligent gentlewomen, looked somewhat distressed at this announce ment. “Aren't you afraid,” he asked, “that baseball will have a tendency to make the girls masculine?” A humorous expression stole over President Seelye’s face. “Masculine?" he echoed. “My dear friend, if you could never have further fears pitch ing the ball you would never have any further fears on that score." i . What Pa Said. Little Harry entered the parlor a few minutes after Mr. Hudson had been announced. In spite of all he had been told that he must never speak of his sister he forgot his in structions. “Sister Annabel is awful proud o. her diamond ring, won’t even let me see it, but I know I’d like one like it,” began Harry eagerly. The young man was delighted. “I am glad your sister is so pleased with it; you must tell me why you would like one,” answered the young man. “Because mamma gave me a new scrap book and my mucilage is gone and Pa said it was paste.” Writes Book in Prison. The Countess Bonmartini, in prison in Italy for murdering her husband, has written a book, which ends with these words: “If I have sinned it is because I have greatly loved * * • But until my right hand has withered, until my tongue sticks panting to my palate, my protesting voice will sound from the profundity of my prison.” Steals American Letters. Two years ago a Norwegian postal clerk was convicted of having been long and systematically pilfering from the mails; he had done away with some 1,500 American letters. A few weeks ago another was convicted of the same offense; he had appropriated at least 1,000 American letters in two years. Jewish Cervices in Africa. The first Jewish services ever held in British East Africa were held or Ycm Kippur at the Masonic Hall, oi Nairobi, and resulted in the formation of a congregation. There are about thirty Jews in the protectorate, most of them engaged in dairy farming. Reads Like Prize Fight." From an account of the Doncaster (England) Art club’s annual exhibition In the Doncaster Gazette: “Miss _ also goes in for portraiture In hit ting off her father's head her intern Mods are good, but the execution lacks very much in artistic finish.” Trouble Breeds Trouble. “It is odd,” mused the philosophical lawyer, “that when a man gets heavy damages to his person or his property he immediately flies to the courts to get some more.”—Baltimore American A Hint to Husbands. A woman simply cannot harbor bad temper when she knows her dress to be a success. If only husbands real ized this, the dressmaker’s bill might ! he heavier, but serenity would reign in the household, and many would gladly pay the price. Moisture in the Air. The capacity of air for holding moisture is twice as great at 52 de grees as at 32, and four times as great at 78 degrees as at the freezing point of water—32 degrees Fahrenheit. The Value cf Ideals.

When the maker of a medicine, sold through druggists for family use, takes his patients fully Into his confidence by frankly and fearlessly publishing broad cast as well as on Its bottle wrappers, a full list of all Its Ingredients in plain F.'npltsh, this aetlon on his part is the best possible evidence that he is not afraid to have the search light of inves tigation turned full upon nis formula and that It will bear the fullest scrutiny and the most thorough investigation. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains and functional derangements of the or gans distinctly feminine, is the only medi ctns pnt np for sale through dmgglsts for woman’s special use the maker of which Is not afraid to take his patients into his full confidence by such open and honest publicity. A glance at the published Ingredients on eaeh bottle wrapper, will show that It Is made wholly from native, American, medicinal roots, that It contains no poi sonous or habiirforming drugs, no nar cotics and no alcohol—pure, triple-refined glycerine, of proper strength being used Instead of the commonly employed alco hol, both for extracting and preserving the active medicinal properties found in the roots of the American forest plants employed. It is the only medicine for women’s pecular diseases, sold by drug gists, that does not contain a large per centage of alcohol, which is in the long run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv ous system. Now, glycerine Is perfectly harmless, and serves a valuable purpose by possessing Intrinsic value all Its own, and besides it enhances the curative effect of the other ingredients entering Into the "Favorite Prescription." Some of the ablest medical writers and teachers endorse these views and praise all the several Ingredients of which "Fa vorite Prescription” is composed — rec ommending them for the cure of the very same diseases for which this world famed medicine is advised. No other medicine for women has any such pro fessional endorsement—worth more than any number of ordinary testimonials. If Interested, send name and address to Dr. B. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., for his little book of extracts from the works of eminent medical writers and teachers, endorsing the several ingredients and telling Just what Dr. Pierce’s medicines are made of. It’s free for the asking.
