Andrew Carnegie Says: • “It is not capital that men require, it is the man who has proved that he has the busi ness habits which create capital.” The greatest proof of business habits is the HABIT OF SAVING.

The dean has given the rivers of Nebraska much study and is in a position to tell things worth knowing. We are pleased to state today that he has consented to come, to Ord tomorrow as the guest of the Club and will speak in the evening at the Bobemiam hall on the theme of the possible power of the North Loup river. He will arrive on an early train and will make a local examination of the proposition before the even ing address. The wonderful power going to waste by our city may be made use of and it is expected that the dean will tell us how it may be done. No greater thing could come to Ord than to have the power of the North Loup utilzed. The meeting is free, and it is hoped that there will be a large audience of men and women to hear him.—Ord Quiz.

All records of heavy hogs bought by Fred Cram were broken Mon day when Roy Sweet, one of the substantial farmers and stockman, living six miles north of this city, brought in a porker that tipped the beam of the scale at 780 pounds. This is the heaviest hog that Mr. Cram has bought during his ten years experience as a buyer. The pdrket was not overly fat and could get around as easily as a shoat. Mr. Sweet received near ly fifty dollars for the animal. There are many horses in this neighborhood that perhaps do not weigh that much and by compari son it can best be comprehended what the size of this porker must be to weigh that enormous weight. —Sargent Leader. Ask Modification of “Blue Sky” Law Among resolutions adopted by the Nebraska Farmers’ Co-opera tive association at its annual meet ing in Omaha last week was one asking for a modification of ;he “Blue Sky” law, passed by the legislature at its last session. The resolution stated that the law was unsatisfactory in it application and materially handicapped the co operators. Another change n existing laws was one which would permit issuance of stock in $10 shares, which is now prohibited. The Association had the largest attendance in its history. Three hundred and fifty members were present, representing more than one hundred Farmers’ Co-opera tive Associations in the state. J. S. Canaday of Minden was re elected president, and J. W. Short hill of Hampton was again select ed as secretary. O. G. Smith of Kearney was elected on the exe cutive committee.

N. Pritchard DRESSMAKER aad Splrella Corsetierre. Loup City, Nebraska DEMOCRATIC OLD SEA DOG According to Dewey, Admiral Parra* gut Was by No Means a 8trlct Disciplinarian. Admiral Farragut’s methods were al ways simple. There was a saying that his principal place for filing papers was his coat pocket. Generally he wrote hie orders himself, perhaps with his knee or the ship's rail a" a rest. Admiral Dewey in his autobiography recalls that one day when Farragut was writing he looked np and said: "Now, how in the devil do you spell Appalachicola? Some of these edu cated young fellows from Annapolis must know. ” Dewey adds: “A man who had such an important command could hardly have been more demo cratic. One night I had given orders for a thorough cleaning of the ship the next morning. I was awake early, for it was stifling hot. Five o'clock came and I heard no sound of the holy stones on the deck. "So I went above to find out why my orders were not obeyed and my frame of mind for the moment was entirely that of the disciplinarian. There was no activity at all on deck I looked around for the officer of the deck. He was an old New England whaler, brown as a buccaneer, who had enlisted for the war from the mer chant service. I recollect that he wore small gold rings in his ears, a custom with some of the old-fashioned mer chant sailors who had traveled the world over. I found him seated up in the hammock netting where it was cool, with Farragut at his side. “*Why aren’t you cleaning ship?’ 1 asked. ‘I think I am to blame.’ said Farragut with his pleasant Bmile. ‘We two veterans have been swapping yarns about sailing-ship days.' The old whaler did not see how he could leave Farragut when Farragut wanted to talk and inwardly, perhaps, he did not fail to enjoy his position as superior ! to the young executive officer’s re primands.” ‘FATHER’ AND ‘MOTHER’ BEST No Other Name* for Parents Carry the Same Deep Meaning of Reverent Love. “Father" and “mother" are difficult words to improve upon when one thinks of the associations they convey, and the dignity of their meaning, re marks London Answers. Many, however, have been the off shoots of these appellations. “Papa” and “mamma" have been in use in England for at least three centuries, and it is generally accepted that they are of Italian origin, as Dante uses the word “mamma” in the Purgatorio. Among middle class folk “dad” or "daddy” is a favorite nickname. “Dad” is of pure Welsh extraction, and is de rived from, or is a corruption of, the word “tad.” “Pater”«and “mater” make their ap pearance when students are in the throes of Latin grammar. “Poppa” and “momma” have appealed to the young American. None of these nicknames, or terms of endearment, can, however, approach the beautiful Anglo-Saxon definition of parents—“father” and “mother,” and it is these terms that one clings to when childhood’s days are over. Jewel in a Serpent’s Head. We none of us place much credence in Shakespeare’s toad, which— Ugly and venomous. Wears yet a precious jewel in its head.

Comparison With Cave Man. Everything considered, it is possible hat the cave-man had an advantage over us. For though his words were few in number he had few ideas to voice, few thoughts to express, few ac .ivities to advarfce, and these were all of such a nature that his grunt was encyclopaedic in its ability to explain. On the other hand, life is now so com lex that with all our words, inflec ons. accents, mimicry, postures and enures we are often unable to make r meaning perfectly clear. Clearly Insane. Brian was quite unaccustomed to the ways of society, but he had ob tained a very good post as footman. The morning after taking up bis duties his lordship rang for him and told him to ask her ladyship if she was “at horn;.” “She is, sor,” said Brian; "she’s just gone into the draw ing-room.” “Please do what I ask,” said his lordship. Brian went timid 17 to the drawing-room. If you please, your ladyship, his lordship wants to know if you’re at home” •Vo. tell him; not today.” “Bedad!” said Brian, “they’ra both mad."
