In order for an editor to write a
thrilling account of a wreck and do it
well there must have been a tragic
wreck. If he desires to write u really
meritorious nrtlcle on some celcbra
tlon there must have been n really big
celebration and also in order to write
a good obituary there must have been
g good life lived. The people of Web
ster county should give the editors an
opportunity to do their best.
In our ohautauqua last summer the
gentleman who represented Burbunks
said that if farmers desired to do
away with the potatoe bug all that was
liecessary was to plant white beans be
tween the potatoes and the bugs would
never appear. We now have the op
portunity to test this recelpe and we
would advise all potatoe raisers to
follow directions. Evon if tho bugs
should get the potatoes there will be a
bean crop anyway.
Democrats of the Fifth district
should get together at once and per
fect a district organization. We sug
gest that all candidates Itthls district
meet with the state candidates in Hast
ings before the month Is out and form
such an organization so that tho cam
paign may bo carried on with vigor.
We are (Irmly of the opinion that this
meeting should be called early because
it will take time to get the entire dis
trict In working order. Hastings is
centrally located and easily asccssable.
Red Cloud's Cornet Band gave lis
first open air concert last Friday
evening. The weather was ideal, and
the majority of thejcitlcns turne I out
to hear them, in fact, had they of beeu
greeted by one-quarter the audience
at their concert given in the opera
house some two weeks ago, the boys
would have hud no occasion to think
their efforts weYc not receiving due
approbation. The concert clearly
demonstrates Prof. Ilotz's ability us
an InsfrActbT', and leaves no cause to
doubt but that Red Cloud's band will
rank among the first after being ad
ditionally strengthened by several of
the older musluiaus, on their return
from school next month.
It 19 a struuge fuct that there are al
ways some btnurt Alecks who, no
matter where they are or where they
go, they always try to make it unpleas
ant for others. If they are on the road
you must poke along and take their
dust or run horses with them. If you
are on the street you must listen to
their filthy remarks, if at church or in
m place of amusement, then you must
put up with the annoyance of their
brilliant thoughts delivered in a stage
whisper. In society their wit and puns
must be endured. We imagine that
our readers have met all this genio
and with us will say they arc about as
great nuisances as tho Creator ever
clothed In flesh and endowed with the
park called life. ,
the place and the community. No
rrian ha a right to live In a live town
who seeks to enrich himself and not
actively identify himself with its In
terests, To be classed as a drone, or
chronic kicker and opposed to every
measure believed to be for the good of
the citizens is a stigma that should at
taoli to no man In the corporation.
The improvements necessary to be
made and the manner of making them
a monument to-the enterprise and In
telligence of the citizens is the duty
each person owes to the place in which
he lives. No man has a right to block
legislation In his town simply because
he is not personally benefited by the
proposed Improvements or pcrchauce
may have to pay a little toward it, for
in the end it will no doubt have proven
a wise proceeding. Let alt join In any
movement culoulutcd to better our city
in the year 1012, and trust the results
will justify the action and meet the
highest anticipations for a prosperous
future.
Homo kind friend sent us a few
copies of tho Peoples Pulpit evidently,
desiring that we reprint some of the
extremely derogatory articles pertaln-1
lug to ministers, priests aud preachers.
Hut we must refuse because we have
no quarrel with the ministers but on
the other hand a very cordial feeling.
In every community you will find con
scientious painstaking ministers of the
gospel who are faithfully working for
the betterment or that community
seven days In the week. Whenever
any disagreeable task is to be done the
minister is the one selected; whenever
a job is to be done that requires mora1
buck bone the minister must respond
to the call. Ho does practically all the
calling on the sick, l:eep9 up cnthu
siasm, smothers rebellion and quarrels
When we marry a million dollar girl
the minister Is given a two dollar and
a half chip good for groceries and
bacon; when we bury our great grand
father the minister drives out sixteen
to seventy miles into the country,
loses his dinner, aud returns with a
pleasant thought that it would have
been nice if some one had said thank
yon.
No wo do not believe that the minis-
tors and priests aro infidels nnd that
are seeking to train up a generation
with any other desire than that it may
learn the truth. "You cannot saw
wood with a hammer" and the Peoples
Pulpit cannot reform the world by at
tacking every organization but Its own.

There arc times when everything

An agent comes in determined to iu
bure your life, when it is already in
sured for more than it is worth, and
you aro afraid some one will knock
you on the head to get the price of
your policy; but he sticks to you,
showing you pictures of Old Time and
the hour glass, and the death's scythe,
and a skelton, making it quite certaiu
that you will die before your time un
less you take out papers in his com

The day is out of joint and no surgeon

you would look at the weathcrvane
you would find that the wind is north

you have Jlost much sleep lately. It
might happen to be that you are out

ful and not write many letters while
you are In that irritable mood. You
will pen some things in the way of
criticism or fault finding that you will
be sorry for afterward. Let uremem

aimer Fish SUry if the Year
Now that spring has arrived again
aud man's thoughts readily turn to
out-door recreations, tho annual crop
of fish stories has appeared, but the
one reported from Franco seems to
hold tho record so far.
The report says that a pond border
ed by rocky shores in the interior of
France was drained each year by means
of a reciprocating steam pump that
had a capacity of 25gallousper stroke.
Not only did the pump speedily drain
the lake of water but actually pumped
out all of the fish that were therein
and transferred them to an element
foreign to their mode of living.
The story goes on to relate that, so
impressed with the success of his ven
ture was the owner, that he rented
one of his pumps for the purpose of
"ll-h pumping," and his examplewas
followed by many of his neighbors who
reaped a harvest each stroke of the
brlngiug up water, mud, debris and
fishes of all kinds, from the bottom of
the lake.
Cue pond, covering several acres,
was cleared of fish at a total expense
of 87.20, and the scheme proved so
popular that the police had to put a
stop to it, fearing tbe extermination
of the fish species iu the Interior of
France.
No information has been secured as
to the manufacturer of a pump with
such a powerful suction or such ample
proportion or valves that such solids
are pumped with so
has been reported.

CRIES TO GET ITS OWN 'WAY
Child 8oon Learnt to Know the Effect
of Tears on Mother, Declares
an Authority.
A mother can seldom withstand the
tears of her baby, especially ir It Is
her first baby. And yet the fear that
babies' will cry, or the mother's soft
&eso of heart, accounts for much of
tho over-Indulgence of children. As
soon as a child finds out that a
mother Is perfectly willing for Mm to
cry if he likes, and as long as he likes,
and that It doesn't disturb her in tbe
least, but she Just Bits complacently
(outwardly!) by nnd reads or sows,
crying loses its virtue and lire from
that lesson on grows decidedly more
sunshiny. For most of tho crying of
a young child is done deliberately be
cause the child soon finds out that It
Is the way to get what it wants. "1
Know it is wrong to give in to my
child when ho cries," said a mother
recently, "but I do it for the sake or
the neighbors." This feeling f'or the
neighbors is penny wise, pound- fool
ish. In the first place anyone who
lives near babies expects to hear
them cry more or less, because all
nobles cry. But no baby cries so
much as the one whose mother Is so
afraid of his crying that she is always
trying o prevent It. Hard-hearted It
may sound, but the common sense
tact remains nevertheless that the
crying of a young child shall have no
weight whatever In his management,
except as a symptom. In itself cry
Ing Is not serious; on tbe contrary, It
Is healthful. A mother must decide
whether the crying Is a symptom of
pain, weariness or of temper. But
having decided that, she must treat
the pain, the ' weariness or the tern
per, but never the crying itself.

Women are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed to read
love stories at a tender age and form
a totally fatal notion of love.
They see themselves as charmers at
a very early age. They begin trying
jto captivate, to oharm, to enslave tbe
opposlft sex, before they are out) of
tin nursery. They live and die
1 many, many of them without ever In
the least understanding the truth
about love or, In fact, about anything
lie.
Women are very envious by nature.
There seems to be plenty of Justifica
tion in this one way you look at It
Why should one woman have luxury,
case, travel, society and fine clothes
and another woman have only toll
and loneliness and privation?
This Is a useless question. We
cannot explain the inequalities of life,
but there is an answer to the woman
who asks this question. It Is this:
Tho more barren the field the greater
the prlvllego of creation. You have
a chance to see what you can find by
the way of Joy and beauty; you have
