Schurman of Cornell was discussing elective college courses, of which in the freshman and sophomore years, he disapproves. "A freshman of 16 or 17,” said Pres ident Schurman, “is too young to choose for himself the courses best for him. His mind is not mature enough. It will make mistakes. “In its immaturity, its proneness to error, it is like the mind of .an old man in my native Freetown. He, though old, was mentally undeveloped, and saw nothing wrong or ridicnlsus in a piece of economy that he put in practice in the cemetery. "The old man had lost four wives, and desired to erect for each a head stone. with an inscription commemora tive of her wifely virtues. "But inscriptions, he found, were very expensive. He economized in this way: "He had the Christian name of each wife cut on a small stone above her grave—"Emma,” "Mary,” "Hester,” "Edith.” Under each name a hand pointed to a large stone in the cen ter of the lot. and under each hand were the words: “ ‘For epitaph see large stone.’ ” Perfectly Plain. With all the impartiality of the par tisan. Prof. Price set forth the con tentions of both political parties re garding the tariff. At the close of his talk he was sur rounded by the fair members of the Woman's Current Events club. "O Prof. Price,” cooed the fairest, "thank you so much for your perfectly lovely talk! 1 understand all about the tariff now. It's just like a lover's comparisons—the free-traders are the other girls!”—Sunday Magazine. Always Time to Reform. No man is wholly bad. and in all lives some moments come when the vision presents itself of a worthier and happier life which might be lived. What is needed is courage to make the start, for, while life lasts, it is never too late.—E. C. Burke. A Sore Throat or Cough. if suffered to progress, may affect the lungs. "Brown s Bronchial Troches" give immediate relief. Love is not getting, but giving; not a mild dream of pleasure, but good ness, and peace, and noble living—that is love indeed.—Van Dyke.

I MUCH CASH IS IN TREASURY, Failure of Sellers to Deliver Bonds Causes it to Pile Up. Lincoln—State Treasurer Brian's re port for the month of February shows that he had balances on hand Feb ruary f of $568,406.82: receipts, $638. S81.44: payments, $456,844.68: bal ances February 20. $743,443.58. Check? cash and cash items, $175,281.94: cash on deiwsit, $570,161.64. The cash on deposit is unusually large and is ex plained by the fact that nearly $200, OuO of bonds bought were not deliv ered and consequently the cash is still on hand. The bidder was not compelled to deposit a bond to deliver the purchase, therefore the state car. enforce no penalty for the failure t<i deliver. The treasurer is preparing tc mak a big purchase cf bonds soon The item of $173,281 in checks, cash and cash items is an unusual one. Mr Brian is holding the cheeks because the limit of the state funds in depos Lories, governed by the amount of bonds given by depositories has been reached. Many banks have applied to be made depositories, but have been refused because these checks and cash items probably will be in the treasurer’s hands only a short time and no more depositories are needed. BAND WAGON FOR CORN SHOW. One State After Another Fells in Line for Exhibit. Omaha—One state after another is lining up to make the National Corn exposition, which is to be held in Omaha in December, one of the great est shows in history. More than fifteen states are now pledged to its supi>ort. while commer cial clubs and chambers of commerce in all parts of the country are taking an interest in the big enterprise. President G. W. Wattles of the Corn exposition, who is visiting in Califor nia. telegraphed as follows: •T. Wilkes Jones. Manager National Corn Exposition. Omaha. Neb.: Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce will make large exhibit at Corn exposition. Please reserve ample space. G. W. WATTLES. Governor Frank J. Hanly of Indiana has written to the managers of the show commending it and offering any assistance which is needed from In diana. VALUE OF LOUP RIVER. Discharges More Water Than Any Stream in the State. Lincoln—The Loup river is a val uable stream. According to figures compiled by the irrigation department the flow of the stream is more uniform than that of any other river. Of all the rivers the Loup flows with the slightest variation. The Platte ex ceeds the discharge of the Loup at certain seasons of the year above the mouth of the Loup, but its variation is so wide that its value from a power and irrigation standpoint is not so great as the smaller northern stream. Mind Reader on Olsen Case. Pender—Sheriff Dorcey. Olaf Olsen and County Attorney Chase, accompa nied by a woman mind reader from Sioux City, left Pender for Rosalie for the purpose of locating the body of Lillie Olson. The sheriff and the clair voyant returned in the evening from the farm on which Olson formerly re sided. She took the officers to a grave on the farm, but it was one made over a year ago and with which the neigh bors were all familiar. To satisfy all curiosity the body was disinterred and found, as Olsen stated, to he that of a babe which died at birth. The search was continued during the day, but nothing developed. Booming the Corn Show. Lincoln—Members of the State Board of Agriculture and the Board ot Horticulture met here to take action toward helping along the corn show to be held in Omaha next fall. The pro ject had the unanimous apnroval of those present and the Board of Agri culture voted $500 to be used in pro moting the enterprise. A committee was also appointed by the joint board to help boost the enterprise. Speeches were made by Governor Sheldon and Prof, .tones. Hastings Clergymen Threatened. Hastings—Numerous unsigned let ters have been received by the various ministers threatening their lives if they did not quit the fight against the saloons. The city of Hastings is stirred to a white heat over the saloon ques tion and in a men's mass meeting res olutions were unanimously adopted which will make the fight at the next spring election one of license or no li cense. Bonds for County High School. Brown county is the first county in the state to notify the state treasurer lhat it is going to vote on the proposi tion to issue bonds for the purpose of erecting a county high school build ing. HERMAN BOCHE GUILTY. Jury Finds That He Killed Saloon Keeper Frank Jarmer. Madison—Herman Boehe, a Madison county farmer, who has been on trial for the killing of Frank .farmer, a Nor folk saloonkeeper, on May 1, 1907, at Norfolk was found guilty of man slaughter, and will have to serve from one to ten years in the penitentiary. The verdict is considered a victory for the defandaut, in that public sentiment has at all times been strongly against Boche, since commission of the crime.

My arms and legs were stiff aim i was neipiess as a enua. tne urine was discolored and though 1 used one remedy after another, 1 was not helped until I used Doan's Kidney Pills, and I was so bad then that the first box made only a slight change.

HER SUSPICION. ‘ Does your husband ever admit that he was wrong?” “Yes, frequently, but 1 don’t suppose he ever really believes it.” THREE CURES CF ECZEMA. Woman Tells of Her Brother's Terrible Suffering—Two Babies Also Cured —Cuticura Invaluable. "My brother had eczema three dif ferent summers. Each summer it came out between his shoulders and down his back, and he said his suffering was terrible. When it came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faith ful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely of ec zema with Cuticura. A lady in In diana heard of how my daughter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cuti cura Remedies and they cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back. Mrs Sarah E. Lusk, Cold water, Mich., Aug. 15 and Sept. 2, 1907.” OLD GENTLEMAN NOT PLEASED. Letter's Inscription Certainly the Re verse of Flattering. In the English club at Hongkong a white-haired old gentleman, who had come down from some northern port, was seated at dinner when he sudden ly became very excited. He had been brought a letter by a solemn-faced Chi nese butler, and he saw something on the outside of this letter which sent him downstairs two steps at a time to interview the hall porter. When he came back he told us what was the matter. The hall porter had inscribed in the envelope, in Chinese, for the in formation of the butler: “This is for the old baboon with white fur.” Unfortunately for the hall porter, the old gentleman was a first-class scholar in the Chinese language. Diplomacy. “Why do you make a practice of predicting bad weather?” "It's the safest plan,” answered the professional prophet. “If the bad weather prediction comes true, people have to admit 1 am right, and if the weather is pleasant they feel too good natured to care whether 1 was right or wrong.” The Age Index.

We usually expect the doctor to put us on some kind of penance and give us hitter medicines. A Penn, doctor brought a patient something entirely different and the results are truly interesting. “Two years ago,” writes this pa tient. “I was a frequent victim of acute indigestion and biliousness, be ing allowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought me a sinali package, saying he had found something ’for me to eat, at last. "He said it was a food called Grape Nuts. and even as its golden color might suggest, it was worth its weight in gold. I was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but at last consented to try this new food. “Well! it surpassed my doctor's fondest anticipation and every day since then I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape Nut*. “J- noticed improvement at once and in a month's time my former spells of indigestion had disappeared. In two months I felt like a new man. My brain was much clearer and keener, my body took on the vitality of youth, and this condition has continued.” “There's a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co..

That portion of the country in Wes tern Canada formerly recognized as ranching country has developed into one of the best winter wheat districts in the continent. Yields are quoted running irom 30 to 00 bushels to the acre, and giving a return to the farmer of from $35 to $50 per acre. These lands are now selling at from $13 to $30 per acre, and pay well at that figure. H. Howes of Magrath, Alberta, Western Canada, had 50 acres of land in wheat, which averaged 45 bushels to the acre; his yield of oats was 35 bushels. The value to him per acre of wheat was $35.00. J. F. Haycock of the same place, says: ' i had 05 acres of wheat, 35 acres of oats and four acres of barley. My average yield of oats to the acre was 80 bushels; wheat—winter—00 bushels and red fyfe, 33 bushels, and barley, 50 bush els. The vaiue to me per acre was, wheat, $38.00; oats, $33.00, and bar ley, $34.00.” J. F. Bradshaw of Ma grath, had 1.030 acres of wheat in crop that averaged 39% bushels to the acre, his oats, 32 busnels; barley, 53 bushels. He threshed 31,000 bushels of wheat from 540 acres. He also had 250 tons of sugar beets from 25 acres worth $5.62% per ton. W. S. Sherod. of Lethbridge, says: ‘T came to Leth bridge from Souris, North Dakota, in April, 1907. having purchased 900 acres of land in this district last fall. 1 had 128 acres of Alberta Ked winter wheat which was put in on breaking in the fall of 1906, which yielded 41% bushels to the acre, for which I re ceived 87% cents per bushel, which paid me $36.30 per acre. I had 190 acres "stubbled in” that is disced m on me stuuoie, wmcn yieiaeu -- bushels to the acre at 87 V» cents per bushel, which paid me $19.25 to the acre. I also had 350 acres of strictly volunteer crop, which it was intended to prepare in the summer: but when it was seen that it was a good looking crop, it was allowed to go. From this we threshed 15 bushels to the acre, which paid us at the rate of S7Vf> cents per bushel or $13.12 per acre. Our total crop yielded us 14,742 bush els of first-class wheat. Taking it as a whole, I consider that 1 had a first class crop all through; and. taking in to consideration the fact of part of the crop having been "stubbled in,” and part strictly volunteer (which was never touched at all until the binder was put into it). I consider I had a heavy crop. I might say that I was in North Dakota five years, and I never grew as heavy a crop during that time. This is the 25th day of November, and my teams are still ploughing, and, from the appearance of the weather, will be for some time yet.” R. W. Bradshaw of Magrath, says: "I had this year 400 acres in crop, viz.: 200 acres of wheat and 200 acres in oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 50 bushels, and wheat. 22 Vi bushels. The value to me per acre for wheat was $19.00, and oats, $17.00. The highest price ob tained by me this year or offered me for my grain was for wheat 82 cents per bushel, and $1.05 per hundred for oats. I also had 100 tons of hay worth $12.00 per ton. and will say my wheat was all volunteer this year. Lots of wheat is averaging from 50 to 60 bushels per acre on summer fallow, and on new breaking, when the break ing was done early in the spring.” Writing from Spring Coulee. Alberta, W. L. Thompson says: “I had this year 3.000 acres in crop, viz.: 2,000 acres of wheat and 1.000 acres of oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was "0 bushels and of wheat 35 bushels. The value to me' per acre for wheat was $27.00 and for oats $15.00.” (Information regarding the districts mentioned, best way to reach them, low rates, certificates, etc., can be secured from any agent of the Canadi an government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere.—Ed.) The Son of Ham. “During a revival in Texas,” said Philip R. Rangs of Toledo, O., his turn for a story having come, "a negro was reputed to have had visions about Heaven and hell. His boss called him up and interrogated him as to what he saw in both places, and first as to what the white men and darkies were doing in Heaven. 'Lord, boss, the white men was all a-tilting back in their chairs, with their heels on the banisters, a-smoking cigars, and the niggers was down on their knees a ehining up their golden slippers.’ Then as to what was going on at the other place. ’Ef you believe me, boss, every single white man had nigger in his hands a-holdin’ him up between him and the flames.’ ”—Washington Her ald.

It has been announced on the high est medical authority that kleptomania is more prevalent among women than among men. Be that as it may, the newest and most unique plea in this connection was that advanced by a negro in a Lynchburg (Va.) court. After listening to a long explanation from his counsel, the darky thought to impress the judge by adding his mite. So he broke in with: “Yessah. dat's it! Jedge, yo' honah, dot’s it!
