K. J. Koidusoti, ex tunlner of county treasurers for the State Audltoi'i olllee, hah fut'iiMied a partial compilation of these funds, which shows Im go expenditures. .Mr. Robinson's report covers thirty nine counties east of the llrst guide lueridl nil, which is a line drawn from the western boundary of Knox county south to tho western liMiiudarv of Nuckolls county. 'J'lie territoiv examined doe not inuliiile Saunders or Dniigltii eoitn ty nor tho city of Ideidii, nor t lie towns and villages within Hie eouutius ex anillied. . Tho total expenditures for roads and bridges ill these thirty nine counties from IIMMi to 1U10 I- W.aMyMK. 07. During the same period the county treasurer of these counties luivo paid to the cities, towns and villages within these eouutius taxes which have been collected through the oillces of tho county treasurers to the amount of l,'Ji)iI,(iS'J.7!. Out or this amount, the road and bridge maintenance of the ulviPsiib-divisioiis represented by the municipal government has been sup ported. The records In the Auditor's otllce do nof. show what portion of the latter amount has been expedited directly for road purposes. Tho relatively large amount of money expended for road purposes as reveHled by these figures supports the contention of those who say that Nebraska now spends enough money to insure good roads under proper administration. This statisti cal investigation is of peculiar interest in view of the organized effort to fee cure h state highway commission at this session of the legislature, and the figures will doubtless be used freely by both the friends aud oppoueuts of thatjmeasure. Corn Improvers' Banquet The Corn Improvers' lianquet has become an aunual affair aud is pleus tintly anticipated by all members and frieuds of the Association. It will be held at the Lindell Hotel on Monday eveuing, January 2oth tit G p. to. This is the regular supper hour and the banquet will make it unnecessary to buy any other supper. The most im portant feature of tho banquet is the toast list. The toastmasler will be one of the best in the state a man of statewide reputation. Those on the list will include the Governor of the slate and distinguished gentlemen aud ladies. Ladies uru especially invited to attend. The price Is seventy-live cents per plate. Ketervntions must be made early in order to insure a place at the table. Those desiring to attend should send uotlce to Chairman Ban quet Committee, University Farm, Liucolu, Nebr., together with 75o for each place desired. The tiny tip of white metal seen on, the under side of the point of a gold, pen may ho of platinum, but It la more; likely to be iridium. Iridium la a very hard metal and It Is expensive; It costs about four times as much as gold. The purpose of the Iridium tip la, of course, to give the pen a moro durable tip. Tho gold pen maker buys his gold at tho assay office in bars of puro 24 karat gold, which ho molts and alloys with his silver and copper to the de gree of fineness required. Gold of 14 karats Is used In tho manufacture of tho host American gold pens, that beJ I ,- tho iV reo of fineness deemed, hoot uultaL'Q for pen use; but good, pens made in this country for snlo In KianCi are mnde of 15 karats, thoj French government requiring thut all articles exposed for rale In that coun try us gold shall be of not less than 18 karats. The gold from which tho pens nro to ho made Is rolled and rerolled until, what was originally a thick, heavy bar of gold litis been rolled Into n thin gold ribbon about three feet In length by four Inches wide. Then this gold ribbon is put Into a machine which stamps out of it pen shapes, till still flat. Then on the tip of each of theso pens is fused the Iridium point, and then tho shapes go to a slitting ma chine, v.hich cut tho silt In the pen. From this slitting machine tho pens go through another, which gives them their rounded, familiar pen form, nnd then tho pens aro ground and polish ed and finished ready for use. American gold pens in fountain pons or ns dip pens are sold In every coun try In Europe in competition with pens of Hrltlsh or of German manufacture, and under the same competition they are sold throughout tho world, in South America, Africa, Japan, China, wherever pens are used. r "W 1 1 ruDiic "LONG TIME" IS DEFINED Tickets at Cook's Drug Store.

Remark of Governor of North Caro " ''Una to Qovernor of South Caro Una Brought Into Court.' . The oft-quoted remark of the Gov ernor of North Carolina' to the Got enorof South Carolina has at last been 'brought Into court, carefully ODHBtmtMl, and found not to bo so long as some other times. It Is prob able that It was tho exceeding droughtlness of the interval which made it seem long. In a prosecution for the Illegal sale of whisky In Ala bama, a witness testified that he had bought a pint of liquor of the ac cused "a short time" before tho grand Jury returned the indictment against him. It was objected that this evi dence did notshow that the prose cotton had been begun within 12 months after the sale of the whisky, tho time limited by statute for begin ning a prosecution. In discussing this objection, the Supreme court, In Wilson versus Stnte, 56 Southern Reporter, 114, after holding that "a short time" might bo taken in the con nection In which It was used to re fer to a period less than 12 months, said, by way of Illustration: The expression 'a long time' would refer to a very different period of duration and have a widely different meaning In' measuring time when used by an artfcaeologist having reference to the period of existence of the Egyptian pyramids, than when used by Caro lina Governors with reference to the time between drinks." The court may be right, but probably the Gov ernor of North Carolina measured time as recommended by the poet who said: "We live In feelings, not In figures on the dial."

Old Mr. Egyptian carried a stick or a small club about the house with him and laid It upon his women like a thousand of brick whenever they dis obeyed or displeased him. In the graves the mummies show that nearly every woman bad a forearm fracture. When Mr. Egyptian came home in a bad humor he would sail into her with a stiff stick, and as tho arm was thrown to protect the face It was gen erally broken while warding off the blow. "Bear Talk" Efficacious. "Dear talk" was always considered "good medicine" by the Indians. If a bear blocked tholr path, they ad- droBBed him politely, reminding him' of their common brotherhood, prais ing his nobility and requesting him kindly to allow them an, unmolested passage. This, It is said, he frequent ly did, for, being by nature inoffensive, the soft accents did not disturb him, and so he would go on his way. Wsnttd to Live In History. Some men's idea of fame is cer tainly a distorted one. A murderer in South Carolina pleaded for the privilege of being the first man to be electrocuted when that new mode of execution was introduced into the state. 'r Fair Offer. ""-Tw It was a political meeting in the east end, and the M. P., an excep tionally popular man, was addressing his constituents. The politician la question rejoices In a luxuriaut crop of hair. Tho audlcnco was sympa thetic for tho most part; but tliero was one man In tho front row of tho audlcnco who made numerous Inter ruptions. Ho was a coal-heaver, ap parently, nnd bad but recently been heaving coals. "Got your hair cut!" he shouted during a most pathetic passage in the candidate's speech. The well-known catch phrase seemed particularly ap plicable, so a good many of the au dience laughed. But the M. P. was equal to the oc casion. "I will make a bargain with that gentleman." he said. "I will get my hair cut if he will get bis face washed." Tbero were no moro Interruptions. London Tlt-Dlts Woman's 8ense of Honor. Much has been done by our own higher education and widening field of work, and a woman now despises what used to be by repute her most formidable weapons a lie, tears and a skillful appeal to the vanity of man. The writer has often noticed the markedly greater breadth of view and the truer sense of honor among the present-day girl students compared with that which obtained when she herself was a student, and which is still largely that of women of her own age today. An even moro strik ing fact is that the majority of men do not seem to expect as keen a sense of honor from women as they do from themselves. Thl3 mental atmosphere has surely a deterrent effect upon tho growth of thut eon so.
