loap City Northwesters J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY, • . NEBRASKA. Public Manners. ! There are few persons who earn work their way through a crowd, er ean even walk on the busy shopping streets of large American towns and Attlee, without, occasionally losing their temper, or, et any rate, feeling considerable irritation. The reason la net so much ths crowd itself and the consequent slowness of progress, al though that may be annoying; it la tha manners of the crowd, the constantly repeated incidents of rudeness and selfishness. You are hurrying along, intent on your buainebs, but neverthe less carefully keeping on your own side of the walk, when the man imme diately in front of you cuts diagonally across, without stopping to see how near you are to his heels. You stumble, and he turns his head long enough to iscowl. Or perhaps It is a woman who ■trails heedlessly along with her skirt dragging where you can hardly avoid atepptng on it and her umbrella search ing with preternatural intelligence for your eyeball. Possibly, however, It is at a stamp window, or the tick et office, where you meet your particular boor. It is. Indeed, ex asperating, says the Youth’s Compan ion, when you have waited patiently for your turn, and are about to he served, to have a fat woman, or a man with a loud and raucous voice, push in ahead of you, and shout, “Two tickets for Pusbtown, and be quick about It!” No wonder that hunting the wild boar is considered good sport. After all, most of these breaches of manners are thoughtless rather than intentional. Too great an absorption in oneself and one's own in terests is the reason for them. All good manners spring from a recogni tion of the other man’s personality and his rights and privileges, and nearly all bad manners from a disregard of them. A crowd is the place, not to forget oneself, but to remember; and, above all, to remember that without you the crowd would not be complete; that you are responsible for the be havior of one small part of it. i The Idea! Minister. As the touch of genius lifts the master above the mere musician, so this sense of the Unseen lifts the ideal minister above the mere preacher of sermons. It is the investiture of a priesthood verified net by tradition, but by experience. It is immediacy of access to the eternal fountains of sal vation. He lives among men as one of them, simple, unselfish, human, hope ful ; yet they know that he walks with God. "And by the vision splendid Is on his way attended." He is a scholar, but criticism has never violated that shrine of the Spirit where the pure In heart see God. The unfading newness of everlasting truth gives to his speech the freshness of springtime, continues C. C. Hall in At lantic. The unsearchable mystery of Infinite Holiness gives to his thought and conduct gravity and reserve, as one who has beheld things which it is Bot possible for a man to utter. The demands of social service have not stamped him with the professionalism ef a reformer. The ardor of churcb manship has not mads him an ecclesi astic. He remains a prophet of the Highest When he speaks, men feel that he is standing on holy ground. When he prays, men perceive that he is prostrating himself befors the Risen Christ. Another famous old American vessel Is to be sent to the Junk-heap. The newest battleship is to be named New York. Sampson’s flagship, the old New York, is to be renamed Saratoga, and the old Saratoga, now the schoolship of Pennsylvania, Is to be no more. It was built in 1842, and its first service was in the suppression of the West Africa slave trade. In the Mexican war its commander was Farragut. It was part of the south Atlantic squad ron in the second half of the civil war, and then went out of active service. When we consider how nearly ob solete is the old New York, which seemed so modern in the Spanish war, it is a wonder that the old Saratoga has survived all these years, and is only now condemned to destruction. A thousand Greeks have lately gone from New England to engage in farm ing in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. Four or five days’ march from the re tail fruit store may take the Greeks a good many parasangs on the way to a wholesome and independent life on the soil. -_! Another explorer has decided to make a dash for the north pole, and announces that he will follow a new route. It is suspected, however, that it will take him as safely and surely to the lecture platform as any of the old ones. Elinor Glyn says she has come over to see our men and to reyel in green corn and buckwheat cakes. It’s a lit tle late for green corn and a little early for buckwheats at their best, but our men are always in season. \ An exchange says that it is the pleasure of every gentleman and the duty of every man to give up his seat to a woman in a street car. It might be added that it is the pleasure of every lady and the duty of all others to say “Thank you” when that court esy is extended. The Omaha man who was seriously hurt the other day by being hit on the besd by a bottle of soda pop will never believe after tbit that soft drinks Won’t go to the Jiead. - .—% Washington Gossip Interesting Bits of News Picked Up ^ Here and There at the National Capital f J ___ MUCH TRAVELING DONE BY MEMBERS OF THE CABINET WASHINGTON—During the sum mer months just closed the nine members of President Roosevelt’s cab inet have spent more than 600 days away from their desks, and their va cation journeyings and business trips have covered thousands of miles over land and sea. Of the nine, Secretary of War Taft is the greatest traveler. Already he has been away from his department more than 80 days, and, as he now is on his way around the world, he has traveled, including his vacation jour neying and his official trip of the orient, something like 10,000 miles, with much more yet to come. Next to Secretary Taft, Secretary of State Root remained from the capital longer than any other official, and,,in cluding his trip to Mexico, he will have been away so long that It will be hopeless for any other cabinet officer to attempt to equal his record. Until Secretary Taft returns. Secre tary Straus will hold the palm for SECRETARY WILSON is another of the cabinet to have put in some strenuous traveling while in specting conditions in his department in the west. He looked into the big timber reserves, and Secretary Gar field investigated while absent the public lands, Indian questions, etc., forming an important part of the work of the interior department. He spent only two weeks’ actual vacation at his home in Ohio. The vacations of the other cabinet officers were entirely for recuperative purposes. Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou spent the summer on his farm on Long Island, near the presi dent’s home at Oyster Bay, and only an hour's ride from New York. Hence he was able to keep in close touch with the financial situation, and his actual presence here was not essen tial. Secretary of the Navy Metcalf went to California, his home state, and STATESMEN TAKE UP THE ROLLER SKATING IDEA Assistant chief clerk Thom son, progenitor of the scheme for having postal employes skate to work, undertook to demonstrate the other day and arrived at his office much con fused and concussed. In rounding a curve on Pennsylvania avenue he hit a “thank you, marm,” and smote the asphalt with his nose. During the aft ernoon he was disposed to bark at folks who came in to ask him ques tions about the roller skate procession. His ideas, however, will be taken up In higher circles. A well defined movement among leading statesmen is said to be under way for having sena tors and representatives skate to the capitol when the session begins. A large number of them have been de sirous of skating to work for a long time, but each has hang back for fear of being though? singular. Now a considerable number have agreed to start the skating movement simultane ously, and a general movement on the capitol Is announced for the first Mon day in December. i---—i V---=_I THE loss to the government pension roll, during the fiscal year 1907, by the death of civil war veterans, was 31,207, leaving the names of 644, 338 survivors of that war on the roll June 30, 1907. During the year 1,993 more soldiers of the civil war died than during the preceding year. The total number of pensions on the roll at the end of the fiscal year just ended was 967,371. The net loss to the roll for the year was 18,600, which was the greatest net loss for any year since Uncle Sam began to pension his soldiers. The present fiscal year be gan with the smallest number of pen-y sioners remaining on the roll since 1893. The amount disbursed for pensions during the year was $138,155,412.46. This money was paid to the pension ers from 18 agencies throughout the country, the largest amount being paid from the agency at Topeka, Kan., which includes Colorado, Kansas, Mis souri, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and New Mexico. The amount paid from Topeka was $15,807,638.24, and the number of pensioners on the roil at that agency was 111,508, or 2,089 less than June 30, 1906. Missouri, at the end of the year had 49,335 pensioners, who received $6,990,729.74. These figures and facts are con tained in the annual report of Pension Commissioner Warner. The report shows that the pension roll reached the high-water mark January 30,1905. An analysis of the pension roll on June 30, 1907, shows the interesting fact that there were,ait thattime three daughters of soldiers of tfie revolution ary war still drawing pensions. , .^_ long over-seas journeying. Leaving Washington on June 29. he went first, to Montreal, on one of the longest in spection tours ever undertaken by a cabinet officer. He visited immigra tion stations along the Canadian line from Montreal to Winnipeg and Van couver, going thence to Seattle and San Francisco and sailing from that port on July 25 for Honolulu, where he arrived on July 31. On his return he visited the Yellowstone National park, but this part of the trip was entirely one of pleasure, and was at the secre tary’s personal expense. On this trip he was accompanied by his wife, son, daughter and private sec retary, only Secretary Straus’ own ex penses, of course, being borne by the government. It is estimated at the department of commerce and labor that Secretary Straus’ trip cost the government not more than $1,800 And it is claimed for it that it was of immense business benefit to the de i partment. SOME MEMBERS ABSENT ON GOVERMENT BUSINESS spent his entire vacation tramping through the mountains around Sacra mento hunting small game, while Sec retary Root, in addition to spending some time at his home in New York, took the now famous cure for several weeks at Muldoon's. During his absence from Washing ton Postmaster General Meyer, with the exception of about ten days, when he was fishing in Canada, kept in close | touch with the postal affairs in Wash ington, and Secretary Taft, while he was at Murray Bay, Canada, also found time to keep up with the more important matters requiring action by the head of the war department. Attorney General Bonaparte, in ad dition to spending about a month at Lenox, was absent at different times during the summer at his home, near Baltimore, but he was at Washington every few days attending to important legal business of the government, so that it is hard to classify him. Speaker Cannon has been enlisted in the movement and promises to skate all thelway down the avenue on the opening day, with John Sharp Williams, the minority leader. Mr. Williams and Mr. Cannon have been practicing holding each other’s hands, and while this has been a little diffi cult because of Mr. Cannon's greater speed, they have now got so that they can keep step fairly well. Mr. Wil- | liams will go to the speaker's house ! on the opening day and make the start 1 with him. Senator Bailey at first held aloof on the ground that it would not look dig- j nified to skate in a frock coat, and l that he declines to remove that gar- j ment for any consideration. His friends, however, have put forth such I strong arguments that in a letter re- ! ceived here the other day Mr. Bailey j promises to skate, frock coat and all, j if his rival and foe. Senator Culberson, can be induced to do likewise. Cul berson wears a cutaway, but it is be lieved he will consent, aft” j PENSION ROLL OF THE GOVERNMENT ON DECLINE The names of 558 widows of the war of 1812 remained on the roll at the close of the last fiscal year. If there were no deaths during the present fiscal year it would require $140,850,880 to pay Uncle Sam's pen sioners. The average annual value of \ each pension is $145.60, this being an j increase of $7.42 over last year. _ Sightseers in New Zealand. One of the numerous activities of the New Zealand government Is- a "state tourists' department.” The re port for the year ended June 30 an i nounces that 9,684 sightseers were ' hustled around the beauty spots of the colony, as against 7,142 during the previous year. They left about $600, 000 behind them. The branch offices of the department in Sydney and Mel bourne have proved so successful that others are to be started . elsewhere Moreover, a new officer is to be at tached to the high commissioner’s staff in London, and he will specialize on bringing New Zealand’s attractive ness as a tourists’ resort under the notice of the traveling public of Great Britain and Ireland. Matrimonial Coincidence. A matrimonial coincidence was cre ated by the marriage at Rugby of May Annie Bluemel, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bluemel, of Rug by, to Thomas Lofthouse, of London. On the same day the parents of the bride celebrated their silver wedding, while the grandparents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Bluemel, of For est Gate, celebrated their golden wed I HIS FLOWER GIRL I By Georgia Custis 1 (Copyright.) When Mr. Perris Archer was ush ered by as obsequious butler into the luxurious library of Judge Van Nos trand on a certain cold evening late in November, and sank into a comfort able easy-chair before a bright Are of soft coal, it was with a feeling of complete and entire satisfaction. He had, in short, for months been living in a sort of Fool’s Paradise, and he was at this moment awaiting the coming of the woman he loved. A bold and skillful painter of brilliant landscapes Archer was, and, with hosts of friends among the loveliest and most brilliant women in the town, he chose to lay the tribute of his love at the feet of the quietest . and least dazzling of them all. Helen Van Nostrand was not “a man’s woman;” she had many friends, but they were chiefly among those of her own sex; and in spite of her wealth and position and the charming and gracious hospitality which she dispensed as head of her father's household (for her mother had died when she was a very young girl), in spite also of a certain quiet charm of manner which even birth and breed ing do not always bestow, Miss Van Nostrand had the reputation of being rather cold and reserved, and there were even those who rather feared to meet the severe directness of her hon est gray eyes. Yet there were others, and Archer was one of these, who knew that under the rather cold ex terior there beat a warm, impulsive, woman’s heart. Absolutely free from coquetry, Miss Van Nostrand had never betrayed for Archer the slightest feeling beyond the frankest confidence and good will; they were the best of friends, which was just what rendered the situation most hopeless. Moreover, Archer was proud. Far too proud to ask the daughter of Judge Van Nostrand to cast in her lot with a vagabond artist like himself. And so he drifted on, trying to be con tent with the half sovereignty of a kingdom upon whose throne he could never hope to sit; and at least his se cret was his own. He was kept waiting for her coming rather longer than usual on this par ticular evening, and he had fallen into a reverie from which he was aroused by a little ripple of a laugh which made him spring to his feet. It was good to hear Helen Van Nostrand's laugh. “Ah!” 6he said; “I was wording an apology for keeping you waiting while I was finishing the copying of father’s speech for the great meeting to-mor row night—and here I come upon you so absorbed in thoughts of somebody else that you do not even hear me enter the room.” She was tall for a woman, yet she was obliged to throw back her head a little to reach the higher level of his eyes. She dropped her own presently, blushing a little at the expression in his, which had in it something more than his usual attentiveness, and she gently disengaged the hand which he had held while she was speaking. With the other hand she lightly touched a bunch of double violets, the only spot of color about her dress of soft gray. “You see,” she said, "I have your violets, and you must be prepared for a little lecture on ex-' travagance; flowers are not to be had at this season just for the plucking, nor should my selfish passion for them be indulged in so often.” “But,” said Archer, smiling as he drew up a chair for her beside his own, “what if I could prove, that aside from the quite immeasurable pleasure which I receive in sending you the flowers, you are also indirect ly helping somebody who could per haps be helped in no other way?” Helen -raised questioning eyes. “I fear I do not understand,” she said, shaking her head. “If you mean the florist or the person who grows the violets—” “Right as usual,” cried Archer; “but how did you guess the secret of my pretty flower maiden?” Another question in the gray eyes. “I have wanted to tell you about her before,” Archer went on, and he paused a mo ment and smiled thoughtfully, as though he were conjuring up a pleas ant vision, Helen thought. “You see,” he went on, “I have al ways known your fondness for vio lets, and I always procured those I sent you at one particular place. One day, a few months ago, I went in and found the proprietor (a very good sort of a fellow, by the way) talking to a pretty young woman, whom I recognized at once as the daughter of an old friend of my father’s whom I had not seen for years; she remem bered me, strangely enough, and I walked home with her, talking over all that had happened since we parted. Hers was a sad story, poor child; her father had embezzled and then died, leaving his wife (a chronic invalid) and his young daughter to struggle on as best they could. They had a small house, the only thing left from the wreck, with a large, old fashioned gar den in the rear. I remember as a boy how fond Amy was of digging and planting there; she could always make anything grow, and it occurred to her that she might raise flowers for the market. She had arranged with Mather ft Grau, it seems, to send all her violets to them, and they send them directly to you; she does not suspect me, of course, and so you see we are really rendering her the assist ance which she so much needs, with out in any way wounding her pride." Helen had been watching Archer attentively as he talked, biting off little pieces from a violet with her white teeth. “Is she pretty?” she asked suddenly. “Yes, and more than that,” said Archer. “She has the most unusual and delicate' coloring, and a pretty trick of drooping her head, which al ways reminds me of a flower.” . , ■_ .. ,7 I should like to see this dainty ! beauty," said Helen, but somehow her voice lacked its usual cordiality. Archer did not notice it. "Would you, really?” he said eager ly. "Do you mean that you would go and see the poor little thing? She has no friends, you know; that is, no women-friends, and ever since I have discovered how sad and lonely her life is I have wished that she could know you.” Helen paused a moment before re plying. “Certainly I will go and see your friend,” she said, speaking in spite of herself a little coldly. “I do not quite see, however, how I could help her, since of course she would not ac cept—” “Oh, no! not that,” said Archer quickly. “But you see I have told her about you, so that you* would not be quite strangers, and your interest, “Certainly I Will Go and See Your Friend,” She Said. your sympathy would do for her”— he would have added, “what they have done for me,” but something in her manner made him pause, and theD they drifted on to talk of other things, but there was a subtle change to her manner which Archer’s quick sen sitiveness did not fail to note, and much earlier than usual he rose to go. She held out her hand with her usual graciousness at parting, and when Archer had reached the hall he re membered that after all he had failed to give her the address of the young grower of violets. As he reentered the room, he stood for a moment in the doorway waiting for Helen to turn her head, and think ing to surprise her as she had done earlier in the evening. And then Miss Van Nostrand did a strange thing; she was standing where he had left her be fore the mantel, and presently she un pinned the violets from her dress, held them for a moment in her hand as though irresolute, and then, stooping, she laid the flowers deliberately on the glowing coals. And then she turned and saw Archer watching hex in astonished silence; with a little cry she instinctively clasped her hands over the place where the flowers had been fastened on her dress. A great wave of color had swept all over her face, but Archer was very pale as his quick glance traveled from the little clasped hands to the flowers smoul dering in the fire. Presently he came close to her and tried to read her eyes, veiled beneath impenetrable lids. “Helen,” he said hoarsely, “you do not care for the violets—is it—because I sent them that you scorn them thus?” And then, as she did not reply, he went on, “I knew you did not care for me,” he said, “but oh, Helen! it is cruel to learn it in this way!” She could not endure the agonized entreaty of his voice, and she raised her eyes, full of a penitence, whose full meaning he did not dare to un derstand. “Oh, Ferris,” she faltered. “Can you not see? I thought you loved her— your flower girl—and so—” But she did not finish her sentence. Archer had seized both her hands and was laughing in a perfect delirium of joy. “You thought I loved Amy!” he cried. “Oh, Helen, how could you be so blind! And besides, I forgot to tell you she is going to be married to Mr. Grau, the rich florist, in the spring. But, Helen!”—he had drawn her so close that he could whisper the words in her ear—“she shall fonee her choicest violets to bloom for our wed ding. shall she not?” And Helen threw back her head with a happy little laugh. “Violets are the only flowers I shall ever wear ” she said.

Cut a pound of beefsteak up into small pieces, which should be nearly square; season each with pepper and salt, roll up and dust lightly with flour. Rub a deep dish well with a freshly cut onion and place the rolls of meat In it; sprinkle over them some chop ped parsley and a little finely minced pork; pour in sufficient weak stock or water to cover the meat, cover close ly, and cook in a moderate oven one ' hour. Take two pigeons which have been prepared for cooking in the usual way and well washed and dried, and cut up into neat pieces; remove the skin and flour them and put them into 'a frying pan with some melted drip pings, a teaspoon of minced onion, the same quantity of minced parsley, and let them fry nicely browned, turning them frequently; then place them on paper to drain. When the steak is ready, arrange it and the pieces of pigeon in layers in a deep dish with some slices of hard boiled egg. Strain the gravy in which the steak was cooked into a saucepan and add a small quantity of soaked gelatin to it (in the proportion of a quarter of an ounce to a pint of liquid); stir until the gelatin is dissolved, then add a little grated nutmeg, cayenne, and salt; pour the gravy over the meat in the dish and leave it until cold; then cover with rich paste, brush it over with beaten egg, and bake in a mod erately hot oven. WHEN CALLERS DROP IN. Almond Wafers Are Delicious to Have in Readiness. Beat to a cream a quarter cup but ter, then rub in one-half cupful pow dered sugar. Add drop by drop a quarter cupful milk, then, gradually, seven-eighths’ cup sifted flour. Flavor with a half teaspoonful vanila or pistache, and spread very thinly over the bottom of an inverted dripping pan and cut in three-inch squares. Sprinkle with chopped blanched al monds and brown delicately in a very slow oven. Take from the oven, turn the squares over one by one with a ! knife, and roll loosely. Tate up and spread on a waxed paper to cool and dry. If the squares harden before you get them all rolled, place over ' the fire a minute to soften. Serve with cocoa, afternoon tea, ice cream or preserves. The Attic Room. In cities the attic room is given as much attention as any part of the house. A clever arrangement of such a room is to paper it all in white and make a fancy border near the ceiling outlined with a fancy wide paper. The hunting scene is pretty if matched with some red rug on the floor. Have the furniture all white, the bed and dresser trimmed in white and dotted white curtains at the windows. It can be made very attractive with neat furnishings and decidedly unattractive if not nicely papered or filled with refuse furniture from other rooms. __ Olive Oil on Bruises. In the treatment of bruises, where there is extensive discoloration of the skin, if olive oil be applied freely without rubbing, the discoloration quickly will disappear. Absorbent cotton may be soaked in the oil and applied. If the skin is broken a little boric acid should be applied over the abrasion. A black eye thus treat ed can be rendered normal in a few hours, especially if the oil be applied warm. To Sew on Buttons. When buttonholes on a shirt waist are finished, sew on upper and lower ' button. Then button and see that the buttonhole hem evenly overlaps the button hem. Lay waist on table; insert a strip of cardboard the length of the waist underneath both hems, and with a tracing wheel gently press into each buttonhole. Unbutton waist and you have a faint mark where each button is to be sewed without measur ing for each one separately. Grated Corn Fritters. Use one pint of grated sweet corn and half cup of milk, one-half cup of flour, one tablespoonful of melted butter, two eggs, a little salt and pep per, one teaspoonful of baking powder. Mix the milk and well beaten eggs to gether, add the melted butter and sea soning, then the flour and baking pow der sifted together. Lastly stir in the gratPd corn. Drop by the tablespoon ful in hot fat. Drain on brown paper and serve hot. v Baked Hash. One pint of chopped ham, one pint of chopped raw potatoes, half pint of gravy or water, one tablespoonful of butter melted, salt and pepper to taste. Mix all these ingredients to gether, turn into a mold, cover with bread crumbs and tiny bits of butter and bake in a moderate over for about an hour. Darn Carpet with Raveiings. For mending thin places in rugs and carpets, use some of the raveiings from the carpet, which should be saved for the purpose. Darn the thin places and three-cornered tears where they cannot be detected. The fringe and tassels of rugs and portieres can be darned and fastened in the same way.
