The proportion to voting bonds for Bood and feed soems to bo losing friends, and unless there is a chungo of Binti niont concerning them, it is doubtful if the proposition would carry in this county. Tbore are a great many incon gruities in the bill, ono of which is that the bondholder shall recoive sevon per cont interest fr Jtn tho county, while the poor farmer Is compelled to pay ten per cont. Another ono is that of llxing tho time of bond from llvo to ten yeais, whon it should have been paid off in two yonrs.

Of courso I can sco it nil now, and with tho deep est sorrow and romorso.

It is not surprising, thcroforo, now that at tho magnificent rccoptlotiB given hero tliis winter by tho president and Mrs. Cleveland to whom I desire, through theso columns to expross my thanks for invitations to self and wifo--I havo a shy and reticent atmosphere about mo whioh tempts mo nt times to fleo as a bird to tho mountains or to climb a palm troo in tho conservatory and bo nt rest. I do not speak of this bocnubo I wish to call attention to myself, hut becanso my own caso is only that of many oth ers and is tho outgrowth of our demo cratic institutions, which onablo the young and ambitious Amoricau to riso by his own unaldod efforts to the top of tho soolal laddor, where ho suddenly dis covers that pooplo of loisuro are exam ining him by moans of thoso long han dled spectacles. Somoof tho unpleasant critics said after tho diulomatlo rooentlnn nn the 10th of January that it was in rather poor tnsta for Mrs. Glovoland to go through tho two hours of stato rocoption nnglovod, but this shows tho injustice poonllar to thoso pooplo. Thoy probably did not know that aftor her Now Year reception her staluod and begrimed gloves had to bo cut from her hands. If Mrs. Cleveland could havo a pair of husking gloves, facodwlth carpot tacks, and wear thorn whllo shaking bands with tho critics, it would ploaso her con stituents bettor thou anything I can think of at this time. Looking at tho beautiful decorations tho othor evening, tho rich and bewil dering effect of palms, smilax, rosos and olcotrlo illumination, which made the parlors of tho Whito Houso look liko a sweet, sweet dream, I could not help compariug it all with tho days when Abigail Adams driod her washing in thoso rooms and the oxeoutlvo wood pllo ran so low that tho family had to go to bod to koep warm, whilo outsldo tho shrill cry of tho catamount In search of a now and tondor postmastor could bo hoard. Pennsylvania avenuowas thon a mud wallow and tho stump pullormoro pop ular than tho stump speaker. Mrs. Adams could only got a cord aud a half of wood, and tho walls woro still wet Thero wore no bolls in tho houso and no mirrors. When Mr. Adams wished to "polioe his face," as thoy Bay out west, ho had to go down stairs with a tin pall for hot wator, strap his razor on a trunk strap and uso tho bottom of a now tin milk pan for a mirror. This was tho day whon tho baby re public was just beginning to sit up and take notice. Now tho full growp insti tution wears trousers and doos not go to bod till after 10 o'clock. It has attained its majority and wears yellow shoes. By the way, I paused yostordayat tho oornerofPcnnsylvauiaavonuoandTentb street to got a prosperous shino on my common souso Jcnuoss Miller shoes. Just then a bright young blade came along, wearing a pair of thoso loinon col ored shoos, aud uwaltod his turn to havo them dealt with. Tho artist pausod a moment to look at thorn and thou romarkod: "I ain't got any stuff for them yaller rail tk ' OrSnfH ft WWIvVi lf lW 'JbLsbw rTf it f VI lssasaBf 4 ''''"tt&V AxHll IBBSBSBsBaf shoes. You'll hat u to wtrlko another pol lull j'lnt Komowhcro else." After tho young man had gone sadly away tho artist breathed heavily on my shoo, and it sounded liko a sigh. "Of.coursol lied thou," ho said, "but wo don't tako to thorn pullet skin shoes, nono of us. You kop, you'vo got to scrub 'em clonn In tho first placo. They're gen erally damp, no you havo to put u dol lar's worth of frlotlonon 'cm to got 'em dry beforo you enn polish 'em, and tho dopo wo put ont is expensive A good many of om aro mighty cheap, too, aud tho leather's all sort of spongy. I don't reckon they'll bo very poppler In a year from now. "They say that last spring n pair of 'cm got into tho Konatc, but thoy called an extra session of tho legislature in that man'n stato and olected another man. "How do you think Dan'l Webster would havo looked with feet liko ous tare! plo?" It is a good thing for one to spsud a winter in Washington, especially to brighten up ono's Ideas of lifonnd dress. I havo had to got all now clothos throughout, I find, for my othor clothes mndo mo conspicuous. I had creases, of courso, in my trousors, but thoy wore not in tho right placo. So I had to discard my farm clothes in order to avoid bolng taken for a statesman. My neighbors now would hardly rccogulzo mo. Much complaint is coming in this winter to tho stato department from our ministers abroad, who say that thoy can not llvo on thoir salaries. This will reo oncilo a numbor of goutlomon who woro not successful in gotting theso appoint ments. Tho truth is that onco in awhile ono of our ministers, liko Whitolaw Hold, for instance is a wealthy man and de termined to do honor to his country by giving dignity to his position regardless of expense. Of courso this takes a good slice of his private fortuno, and tho next appointco finds himsolf regardod as nn American millionaire, who expects to tako tho shino out of tho roiguiug mon arch. Dut ho can't nlways do it. Ono of our wealthy Now York nows papor owners a year ago rented for tho summer tho country palaco on the con tinent recently occupiod by tho kin;; of Bulgaria, if I am not mistakon. Ho or dered $1,000 or $3,000 worth of im provements, to tho surpriso of southern Europe. "Why, it was good enough fbr tho king of Bulgaria," thoy said in wild astonishment. "That may bo," snld tho journalist, whoso incomo isovor $000,000 per year, "but it isn't good enough for mo." And now, whon au American nows papor man goes there, tho peasantry turn out for 25 miles around to meet him at tho train and sell their farms to him. Probably Washington illustratos hot ter tho mutability of all things human than most nny other city in tho world.

A co-incidexck: John Runcboy, our popular shorilT, used to llyo In Brooklyn, Illinois, years ago. and at one time was well acquainted with most of tho people residing in that vicinity.

John waB ono of tho on-look-ere and suddenly somo fellow said homo thing about Brooklyn, Illinois, aud John's eyes opened wider, and on inves tigation he discovered a cloak that had been sent to Nebraska with tho follow -noto pinned to it: West Bkooklyn, Leo Co., III., January lo, 1893.

The co-Incidence rests in the fact that ShorilT Runcboy was an old acquain tance of the family, and that that par ticular garment should bo sent to this particular county and come under his observation.

His real weight however is 375 pounds, and it is but fair to say that his surplus fat is equally distributed, and he is a well proportioned man in fact a handsomo man so the girls say. But Mr. Tucker is more than this. Ho is ul ways pleasant, always courteous and ul ways having a good time. Ho sings well, converses with everyone, and before he loaves town always has a large number ofGacquaintances who hopo for his ro turn. Mr. Tucker has mado many friends here, not because of his abnor- m ally large stature, but because of hU ingrained gentility. II. O.

But some of the merchants, whilo reading a copy of The Chief in possession of Mr. Cutter, concluded they couldn't sell so many groceries for the same amount of monoy as wore quoted in the advertise ment of a certain Red Cloud gentleman.
