Loup CityNorthwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY. - - NEBRASKA. Young Men's Chief Fault. The fault with most young men Is that they are indolent and inclined to shirk their duty. The man who always tries to get off as easy as possible, and when working for others does as iittlo as possible for the wages that he re ceives, will never advance, and never amount to anything in life. Every young man should through all his busi ness career constantly keep in mind the parable of the faithful servant and the reward given to him: “Because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. How many young men nowadays pay any heed to this? asks the New \ork Weekly. They all want to he great, to be successful, but they will not take pains with little things and work their way gradually to the top. They want to jump to the top rung of the ladder right awayr. They all desire to be come Vanderbilts or Rockefellers or Morgans, but they throw away fool ishly whatever money they earn be cause they hope some day to make it in great quantities. A young man am bitious to succeed in life should from the very start make it clear for him self that he must work hard and plod • along, every day accomplishing the duties belonging to that day, and if he does this and leaves no duty undone, he will be sure to find his reward, first in a clear conscience, and ulti mately in success, but he must not ex pect success or wealth to drop down into his lap without any effort on his part. A Fair “Force.” What will the patient, suffering hus bands and fathers say to the pending scheme to make women actual police men? The New York club which has the matter in hand is convinced that the city of the future must have wom an's help to "lead its future citizen away from the door of the saloon and Induce him to fling away his half smoked cigarette." The feminine po licemen are to "exercise a general su pervision over children in the streets and to mingle with their games." It remains to be seen, says Youth's Companion, what will be the efTect on Miss Constable of “mingling" with a vigorous game of football in a vacant lot. The gentle art of handball might be acquired by candidates for appoint ment to the “force;" but what about baseball? Could a policewoman hope to "mingie” successfully unless she could manage a three-base hit and a home run? It is no wonder that the discussion of these perplexing ques tions was postponed l y the club to a later date—and then the meeting re solved itself into a committee of the whole to discuss the dress suitable for the new officials. When the hour for adjournment came several vital mat ters were still unsettled. Kor example, what is the proper angle at which the helmet should be perched above the pompadour, and whether a veil should be adjusted over the aforesaid hel met? One of the ways, it Is said, to “cor rupt" an anarchist is to make him rich. One way to cure a "leader” of men out of work is to offer him a job. In Boston recently an agitator colleet ,ed a band of unemployed, a singularly well-dressed and not disorderly throng. t\ hen they were led up to the free employment bureau which Massa chusetts maintains, only one-quarter of them filed applications. There are lour classes of unemployed—those who will not work, those who will work only at a special kind of task, those who cannot work, and those who are willing to do any honest work. The first two classes owe an immense debt to society. With respect to the other two classes, the debt is on the other side. We have to divide the classes pretty carefully before we be gin to solve the problem of the unem ployed. Mostly of Chicago," is the way a roan recently described his residence. 1 s characterization seems reasonable. When he was six years old he cut off one of his toes with a scythe. When he was eight he shot off two joints of ‘me of his fingers. He ran away from home when he was 14. and the frost of a winter night took off three more toes and the tip of his nose. At 25 he lost his entire right foot. A drunken half breed bit off an ear in the Klon dike. a Dakota corn-sheller took his left forearm, and since then he has io*t three fingers, a joint from another finger and one eye.

FINDS MAN ILL AND STARVING Peter Lovejoy Comes on Little Cabin in Ravine, After Two Days' Search, Where Fellowman Is Bedrid den with Rheumatism. Woonga. Ont.—That the simple life is not always simple or filled with un alloyed joy was brought to ihe atten j tion of Woonga villagers when they | were called upon to go to Big Cat lake and bring Eugene Hardy, a trapper, who for nearly three weeks had been slowly starving because bedridden with an attack of rheumatism. That the man is alive to-day is considered remarkable. Hardy, who, in spite of his name, is anything but robust, was found by a fellow' trapper through the merest chance, and was then in such a wasted condition that it was impos sible to take him out of the woods for six days. By administering coarse broths made from venison and part ridge hones, he finally strengthened his charge enough to move hint over 20 miles of trails on a litter. From that point the trip to civilization was made by ox and horse teams. Peter Lovejoy, the woodsman who fortunately came upon Hardy, was prospecting for a new camp when he discovered traps with dead animals in them. His experienced eye told him that the animals had been dead from one to two weeks and they had probably been caught some days be fore death occurred. The latter fact was pretty conclusively established by the wasted condition of the bodies. Lovejoy immediately deducted that the owner of the traps had met with a mishap and he set out to find him. At the end of a two days' search he heard a couple of wolves howling in a sheltered ravine and a little later he came upon a small cabin built against a ledge of rock. There was no indica tion of human life about the place. Snow, untracked save by wolves and other marauders, covered the ground, hut a pail turned upside down, showed that someone had placed it by the door long after the first snow had fallen. When Lovejoy opened the door, which had been securely caught with a drop latch. Hardy was seen lying on his bunk apparently dead. He was white, emaciated and still. The cabin itself was in disorder. Most of the rough furniture had been used for fuel and broken tables and chairs lay strewn near the fireplace. Some potatoe skins and strips of deer hide ■ I He Discovered Traps with Dead An imals. were soaking in a rusty pail of snow water and a few grains of wheat lay on a hollow stone where an attempt had been made to grind them. A hear skin, three blankets and an old roat covered Hardy while another skin lay within easy reach. Lovejoy first determined that his fellow trapper was alive and then he set about to care for him. First he built a rousing fire and when this had begun to warm the cabin he went to a grove of spruce nearby and ‘shot a couple of partridges. A rabbit was also knocked over. With this supply of provisions and some coffee and jerked venison from his own sack he prepared a substantial meal. The prin cipal dish was a rich but coarse soup, and when a cupful had been forced down Hardy's throat he opened his eyes and looked about. "Rheumatism,” he said feebly, and then relapsed into a stupor from which he did not arouse for several hours. On awakening he was fed more soup, but it was not until the following morning that he could give an account of himself. In the night wolves appeared, but they made no effort to enter the cabin. Hardy's story when finally told was pitiful In the extreme. He said that he had begun experiencing twinges of rheumatism in one arm early in the fall, but as they did not increase he paid little attention to them. Three weeks before he was found he got soaked in a chilling rain and next morning was in a high fever. When he tried to arise he was attaeked by shooting pains in legs and arms, ami it was with great difficulty ihat he could prepare his breakfast. He got through wiih the ordeal after intense suffering and managed to gather a lit tle wood. Work was out of the question and Hardy remained in his hunk for three days, getting out only to feed himself and keep the fire burning. All this time the fever kepi up and the sup ply of wood and provisions dimin ished. To make matters worse wolves put in an appearance and howled about the cahtn both day and night, making it dangerous for Hardy to creep out for wood. How the time passed after the first week he scarcely remembered. He said that when the wood gave out en tirely he managed to break up some of the furniture by rolling a heavy rock up an inclined board and letting it fall on tables and chairs. With the food gone he resorted to unground grain, tallow candles and strips of deer hide boiled in snow water. Love joy saw tie could not take the man out alone, so after getting sup plies from his own camp, nine miles distant, lie came here for help. Vol unteers went into the woods and Hardy was carried out. He will prob ably be able to walk in a month. DOOMED GOW TRIED TO BREAK INTD A CHURCH DISTRACTED MEMBER OF HERD, BLOCKED BY DOORS. VAULTS INTO PAROCHIAL HOUSE. Cleveland.

Her ef ) forts to climb a long pair of stairs i bringing nothing but derision from a I large crowd, the animal with a moo of despair fled in the direction of an insane asylum. When a drove of cattle, piloted by a man on horseback, padded out Tirnad way, pedestrians stood open-mouthed in astonishment, as the sight is not so common as in days gone by. The prospective steaks and half soles were orderly except for one white-and tan cow. Somebody must have been reading I’pton Sinclair to this gentle kine, be cause she clearly did not wish to he killed in a manner that would make a muss. Near Harvard street the cow sighted a church and. deploying from the common herd, started up the steps. The steps are long and not meant for bovine feet. She stuck her muzzle against the closed doors and the sad look in her soft, brown eyes made the crowd promise themselves not to eat her. Her departure had not been noticed by the chaperon on horseback, but. to be on the safe side, the cow vaulted over a low iron fence and landed in the yard of the pastoral residence. Her moo then was one of triumph and the other members of the herd also clutched at this last straw. They spread out on the pavement just as the children of a nearby school were pouring out. The man on horseback had his own troubles. The children were squealing and at a respectful distance there was a deep fringe of grownups. By dint of much dashing about the herder got all his drove together ex cept the fugitive cow. She dashed out of the pastor's yard and started on a run for the Newburg insane asylum, in Bedford avenue. If the cow contemplated obtaining a stay of sentence on the ground of insanity she was doomed to disap pointment, as the man on horseback rounded her up. She took her place at the head of the line and journeyed to the place where things happen to cows. Huge Rat Attacks Girl. Bloomington, Ind.—A huge rat, driven to desperation by hunger, at tacked May Knight, the eight-year-old daughter of John Knight, a black smith, in bed, and seriously lacerated the young girl's ear. The child was awakened by the rat sinking its sharp teeth in the tender flesh of the lobe of the ear, but her efforts to tear the rodent loose were unsuccessful, and it was not until the father ran to the bedside that tlie rat took fright and escapt d.

THE PEOPLE ARE KIND TO HIM White Mcther Places Infant in Arms of Big Horse—Latter Says Great Flood Is God's Sign of Oppo sition to Killing. Arapahoe, Okla.—John H. Soger, for more than JO years a government em ploye among the Cheyenne Indians in Oklahoma, relates this story of how it massacre of the inhabitants oi Darlington Indian agency, many years ago. was averted: Big Horse, the father of Hubbe! Big Horse, tile Indian interpreter, was a chief among a warlike band of In dians oh the Washita river. He and his band plotted to go to Darlington and massacre all the whites at that agency. Grant's peace policy had just been well inaugurated, and the fol lowing will show that kindness can melt even the heart of a Cheyenne warrior. "When this war party arrived near Darlington they camped for the night on the west side of the North Cana dian. expecting on the, morrow to gc over and do the job they had planned. Fortunately for Grant's Quakers, a cloudburst a few days before up in Beaver county raised the river so that night the hanks were full. Their ob ject in killing these white employes was to get the provisions and cattle and horses. The Indians reasoned that they would lose much of the sugar and flour in crossing the river while the banks were full, so they decided to wait a day longer. "Big Horse said he would go over and reconnoitor the agency and find the exact location of all the white families. He mei the agent, a 70 year-old Quaker who was a very kind hearted man. He took Big Horse to dinner with him. Then he went to see another Quaker family, and Ihe little ladylike mother gave him her baby to hold. That night when he went back and the Indians smoked I_I The Baby Held Out His Hands to Him. flip pipe around. Big Horse told how kind the people were. The hot-headed young warriors, ready for the warpath and pillage, said 'Squaw! Squaw!’ “ ’Call me a squaw if you want to,' said Big Horse, but you never saw the man Big Horse was afraid of.' "The next day the river was still up. and Big Horse told his warriors to stay in camp and he would go over again. This time the Quakers treated him even better than they did the day before. The little baby knew him and held out his hands lo he taken. The big old savage warrior took the baby and held it in his arms until it slept and woke again. "That night when he went back to camp and smoked the pipe around he said: “ 'These people when they eat re turn thanks to God. This day the lit tle baby knew me and held up its hands to come to me. 1 held it while it slept. My bravery has been tried on many a battlefield ami no one ever saw’ Big Horse run from an enemy My endurance has been tested in the hunt. But there is a Great Spirit, tic sends the floods when there are no clouds. He sends the fire from the skies. Of these I have control. Now. 1 have a vow to make with you. my warriors. Now. the Great Spirit has sent this flood when there are no clouds. He does not want us to kill these people. But if the flood goes down to-night we will take It as a .sign that He wants us to do what we have set out to do. and we will go over in the morning and do just what we came here to do. But if the river is still up we will return to Washita and say ihe Greal Spirit did not want these people killed.' "The next morning the North Cana dian was out of its banks and ail over the bottoms, and the old Chief Big Horse led his war party back to the plains of what is now Custer county, Oklahoma, and Grant's peace policy one time saved a handful of helpless employes and their few women an;’, children from a massacre." I MEN INVADE SHOW FOR "WOMEN ONLY” DISGUISED INTRUDERS BETRAYED BY EXCLAMATION AND LEMON SHOWER FOLLOWS. Springfield, Mass.—A bevy of favor ites in the younger society set is great ly discomfited by the knowledge that the vaudeville entertainment in the Woman's Club building the other after noon was witnessed by two men dis guised as women. The intruders, who live in Long Meadow and belong to the man about town class, have been stricken from the calling list of every participant in the affair. The entertainment, which was for the benefit of the mountain whites of Kentucky, included folk dances, clowns, dancers in Dutch cos tumes.

What a Figure!” Brothers, Direct from the New York Hippodrome.” ' The costumes of the young women, it is stated, were the pink of propri ety, though unfamiliarity with the fine points of masculine attire led some of the characters to appear in suits that were either too roomy or snug to the point of bursting. The young men arrayed themselves in a manner which spoke loudly for artistic taste in matters feminine. They were provided with tickets and passed the doorkeeper without question. Their presence might still be a se cret had not one of them observed with unconcealed enthusiasm: "By jove. what a figure!" A matron, who | overheard the comment, bore the tid i ings to the management, which de i eidcd that as the performance was : two-thirds over and the remaining ! numbers were quite commonplace, the : easiest way out of the dilemma would he to let the young men remain. An incident not on the program caused the youths to flee. The mas I terly performance of "The Whirlwind Jugglers" was imitated by tair clowns, who introduced lemons instead of the ! regulation spheres, and finally in dis dain threw the fruit into the audience. The first lemon brought, up against the nose of the "by jove" youth, and the next struck his companion. The masqueraders then escaped. WILD RIDE IN A BALLOON.

In the course of a thrilling narrative of their voyage, and the car swayed to such an extent that wc had to hold on to avoid being thrown out." It took 51 minutes to cross the chan nel from Dungeness to Boulogne, and subsequently strong vertical currents of air caused the balloon to shoot a! ternately upward and downward very rapidly. "There was a good deal of sheet lightning, and the car seemed illum inated as if by eleclric light." says the woman. "At two o'clock we encoun tered a terrific snowstorm, which half filled the balloon.” The balloon later shot up to an alti tude of 8,000 feet, and then descended rapidly, crashing down on some trees with great force. . The envelope of the baloon was torn, and all the scientific instruments carried were smashed, and the aero nauts were compelled to get out of the balloon as best they could and wait in pitchy darkness till dawn, when they found themselves at the vil lage of Handiomont. near Verdun.

It has a gyroscopic ef fect and spins something like a top. causing lubrication by centrifugal force as well as closing the valves without springs and forcing the heavi est part of the mixture to the ends of the cylinders.
