Red Cloud, Nebraska UeSwMl D SSIsl GREW SEPJIHATOR TALK I r- S That dairying is one of the most profitable branches of farming, is, and has for a long time, been a well known fact. Not only in that it keeps the fertility of the soil at home, where it may bs used to produce other crops, but also for the fact that it pro vides the farmer with a weekly cash income from the sale of butterfat. That the farmers of this vicinity are aware of the benefit to be derived from this source, is apparent by the high prices which are being paid for milch cows. After investing $75.00 or more in a milch cow, why not derive the full benefit from such a purchase by the use of a good cream separator? In this article we wish to present to you the RUMLEY-OLDS cream separator, which has no superior on the market. This separator is of the disc type of machine, which is recognized as being the best type and has many superior points over other machines. The makers have not figured how cheap, but how good they could make a cream separator, and every feature to be found on this machine are considered the acme of cream separator construction. Some of the points to be found on this separator are the helical gears, reversible phosphor bronze worm wheel, ball bearing contact points on bottom and top of bowl spindle, noiseless roller ratchet which engages instantly at any point, large milk supply can with no sharp corners (easi ly washed and kept clean) split wing for milk distribution in bowl with patent wings which distributes milk evenly to all discs alike (therefore allowing of closer skimming and less discs than other machines of like type, also allowing of slower speed and prevents milk from foaming and thereby being dangerous to feed to calves). Call and see this machine and be convinced. We are willing to allow you to try this machine in competition with any other make of separator in the market. ONE TRY WILL MAKE YOU BUY. v 3C 3E m Edward Hanson Hardware and Implements NEBRASKA i969wM I (STATUE PUZZLES WISE MEN (English Scientist!

There Is a small Slwash village near Seattle whore the squawa do bead work to sell to tourists, and the braves mako baskets, which they re tail from house to house. There Is one old Indian whose baskets are big ger, brighter and better than all the other baskets inado In tho village and wear longer, and Crooked Dear never comes back from his frequent trips to Scattlo with any of his stock left over. Neither docs ho return loaded up with fire-water llko hlB brother In dians, nor does any of his basket money go for gaudy trinkets and red calico, and gambling haH no charms for him. Ho carefully saves ull his money because ho wanted to own three white man's luxuries, a tele phone, a bicycle and a talking machine Already ho has had a telophono put In his tepee, and though ho never has 'more than one or two ends In a year on it, and then from somo person or dering baskets, it Is a constant uourco If pride and gratification to him. He will sit for hours In silent admiration before It, and puts the silent receiv er to his ear a dozen times a day. He also has a bicycle, on which ho rides 'about the country with a load of baskets, and he Is now saving up for ithe talking machine. Why Thundar Sours Milk. It Is universally known that milk turns sour after a thunder storm. This has been attributed to the large quan tity of ozone which Is liberated by the electricity In the air. The experiments at Professor Trillat In Paris do not 'confirm that theory. He has estab lished that atmospheric depressions 'cause putrefying gases normal qui escent to rise to tho surfaco of cer tain substances, and in support of his theory points out that odors of all sorts are more permeating after storms. Theso atmospheric depres sions accelerate tho decomposition of gases and tend to liberato them. .Henco lactic ferment Is produced. Professor Trillat haB made many ex periments with diverse substances un der varying pressures and haB ob served that when the barometer Is lowest (during storms, etc.) tho de composition of gases la moat rapid.

Later the Merovingian chiefs exacted that their brides should .come to the marriage bringing all their possessions. When the daugh ter of the seigneur of Covey married, er trousseaux, or "trousses," Includ- d "nine servitors, thirty liegemen, a (chaplain, and an astrologist." The customs of the seigneurs evolved popular "fashions," and, high and low, the women multiplied their garments and the fashions of them. Under tho empire tho trousseau was composed of Jewels, lace, flno un derwear, bonnets, and veils. Harper's Weekly. Heroic Rescue.

An interesting statemeat was made 'not long ago before the French Acad omle des Sciences Morales et Poll Itlques, by M. Bonnal, archivist to the '.French war office. According to M. 'Bonnal, Dumourlet, "coached" Welling ton from 1808 to 1814, and the latter often reaped the benefit of betrayals by aristocratic French officers who had relatives In London. M. Donnal goos to the archives of the Spanish war office, there to hunt 'up confessions by Spanish officers In tho service of King Joseph Bonupnrto of their own treason somo of thes confessions recorded ns early ns 181G, under Ferdinand VII. Without any sort of shamu they acknowledge then that they betrayed Joseph to secret agents of Wellington. In a time of universal scare, Well ington hsw more clearly than nnyono this was his great merit that Na poleon was fust using up the military resources of France, and, indeed, all but Its soil, cllmato and genius, and tiring out the latter, llo managed to keep Spain nn open sore In tho ene my's flank, and thus left hopes to the continental courts for tho downfall of tho Corsica!) if they could coalesce ugalnBt him. M. Ilonnal says that plans dictated by Napoloon for IiIb brother King Jo seph's guldnnco were found by guerril las and passed on to Wellington. The idea of tho lines of Torres Vedras to defend Lisbon has been placed to the credit of that renowned captain. Their real author Is now discovered in tho French Colonel Vincent, who knew tho country and had served as a military engineer under Junot and Dupont. Ills plans to fortify the Torres Vedras hills wore stolen and sent to Wellington. ALMA MATER ALWAYS LOVED To the End ef Life College Man Thlnke With Joy of Hie Golden Student Dsys. The phrase "college llfo" Is an Americanism and It has no equivalent In any other language but English. It describes, to thoso who use It with un derstanding and sympathy, an experi ence out of which grows a deep senti ment made up of pleasure, friendship, uffectlon, loyalty and prido. It seems to them "a tender Influence, a peculiar grace," that reaches out across miles and years, drawing them back to their Alma Muter, and tho comradeship of their classmates. To most graduates their college llfo seems their golden age; through tho mist of years thu campus becomes an Island of Utopia whosu very tediums grow bright in tho retrospect, tho sting of whoso sins and fullurcB was always lessened by tho power of tho Ideals and hopes thut llllcd Its air. No campus over was a Utopia, and the most golden age of memory has doubtless been much al loyed with baser metal, but if thcro Is not something very bright and beauti ful in American college llfo It Is hard to account for the feeling In thousands of gray-haired men that long ago in their youth, besides tho education they got or fallod to get, they gained around the knees of Alma Mater lasting Joy, strength and Inspiration that was not entirely contained In the books they read and cannot be exactly measured by the knowledge they acquired. Paul Van Dyke, In 8crlbner's Magazine. They Old Better Then. "We are losing all our secrets In; this shabby age," an architect said "If we keep on, the time will come1 whon we'll be able to do nothing well. "Take, for Instance, steel. We claim) to make good steel, yet the blades the Saracens turned out hundreds of years; ago would cut ono of our own blades; In two llko butter. "Tako Ink. Our modern Ink fades In flvo or ten years to rust color, yot tho ink of mediaeval manuscripts is ns black and bright today ns It was 700 yearB ago. "Tako dyes. Tho beautiful blues and reds nnd greens of antique orlontal rugs havo all been lost, while in Egyptian tombs we find fabrics dyed thousands of years ago that remain today brighter and purer In hue than any of our modern fabrics. "Take my specialty, buildings. We can't build aa the anclentB did. The, secret of their mortar and cement Is lost to us. Their mortar and cement were actually harder and more duiv able than tho stones they bound tc gether, whoreas ours horrors!" Never On. Senator Penrose, on a visit to Atlan tic City, rang for a bellboy to take a telegram, but It was not until the twelfth or thirteenth ring that tho boy appeared. "You've been a long tlmo coming," Bald tho senator. "Yes, sir," said the boy. "You see, sir, It's our dinner hour." Senator Penroso smiled grimly. "I know why you bellboys aro called buttons," ho sold. "You're always off." Acceptable Gift. A woman who has traveled widely says one of tho most accoptablo gifts one can mako to n friend going on a steamer Is a box or Jar of stuffed prunes, These are rarely given, can be eaten when other fruits are Indi gestible and aro mildly laxative. As ono authority advises free use of prunes for nervous peoplo, declar ing they have a quieting effect, the eating of prunes on shipboard should help to check seasickness always augmented by "nerves." JWHERE HORACE MADE SON! ! Ssbtne Home Rendered Immortal fey I Poet still Retains All Its Famed J Beauty. A few verses written two thousaaS lyears ago have rendered the little val iley of the Llcenza one of the most famous places within easy reach of jltome. Had Maeceas been less gener ous a patron, had ho never given the rSablne farm to Horace, had Horace (never told the world and bis friends how his days there were spent, few would now make the classical excur sion into the Sabine hills, though time has not marred their beauty. The villa of Horace has disappeared. but the hills aro as lovely as they were In his day. Now, aa then, If one Koea from Uomn to Tlvoll. and thence 'to Vllovnro, thcro turning up the val Iley of tho Llcenza and wandering o thy road, as ono muBt, since there Is no 'railway; ho comes, somo few miles far ther, to a great rock that springs ab ruptly from the lower slopes and tilt (over them at nn interesting angle. This is "tho citadel Horace had to iscalo" to reach his houso, and marks, lt 1b thought, tho boundaries of the tfarm. The only difference Is that the tlltllo vlllago of Koccnglovlno rises on top, whoro of old stood the Templo of Vacuna, already in ruins when Hor ace sat under Its shadow to write toj 'his friend In Rome. Tho little tow ,had dono Its best to moot Its classical responsibilities, and has given the ,namo of tho templo to Its piazza. Hero still are tho olives thst pay tho Sabine farmers best, and the Tine Ithat yield tho rough little Sabine wlna that Horace has made more renowned1 (than many a rarer vintage. Here are tho hills whore he wandered, and the. woods that gave acorns to his flocks and shade to him. Here are the bab bllng spring and the banks upon, 'which ho rested during the hours he counted his happiest the Dandaluslaa spring to which he promised Immor tality In his song. And as he prom ised so he gave. Not merely the spring, but all that vast estate, which the satirists of his time would have imen believe was but "a lizard's hole," !ho has made Immortal. INVENTOR Of CORN BROOM Levi Dickinson, Nstlve of Connecticut, Is the Man to Be Accorded the Honor. "Although It Is not generally known," Bald a manufacturer of 'brooms, "tho houso broom, such aa tho housewifo uses, Is comparatively a recent Invention, dating back to 178G. Before that time husk brooms iwcro used to Bweep out the ovens and splinter brooms, inado of birch, were used for everyday use. Tho present 'broom industry might bo said to have 'hnd Its beginning in Connecticut In ,1780, when Lovl Dickinson, a natlvo of Weutherfleld, wont to Hadlcy car rying with him a now kind of corn seed which ho showed his friends, say ing that when full grown It would 'mako better brooms than ever had jboen made. The Hadley women .laughed at him, but despite this, Dick--In son was not discouraged, but har vested his first crop of broom corn, managed to scrape the seed from the ibrush with a knife and a hoe, after which he made his brooms. He made the complete broom, Including the bandies, and grew his own flax for the 'twine, the whole costing him little. Believing that his neighbors would re fuse to buy the new kind of broom. .Dickinson In 1798 peddled bis brooms In Williamsburg, Ashfleld and Cob way. The next year be carried them to Pittsburg. The new brooms took, for as soon aa housewives found bow much better they were over the old husk or birch broom thoy would buy no other. Other men went Into the business and a now Industry was bora In Hadley. Dickinson lived until 1843, long enough to see the Hadley or corn broom in ubo all over the country, and tho flame broom, with Improve ments, Is still in uso." Toe That Rocks the Cradle. Unique and probably tho most prim itive cradlo rocking device ever seen or employed In any part of tho world Is tho one that has been adopted by the matter-of-fact squaws of the Kwa klutl tribe of Indians now living on Vancouver Island, British Solumbia. The mother performs the double duty of spinning and rocking ber infant, snugly packed in a hollowed out cradle stuffed with cedar bark strips sus pended from the limb of a sapling". This Is about the most realistic rep resentation of the old nursery song. "Rocka-by, Baby, In the Treetop" so far known. The moBt striking part, however, la that the Indian mother uses her big too as the motive power. With a cord attached to the bent limb and the other end wound around her toe, she swings her dangling offspring to and fro, leaving her hands entirely freo for weaving. Christian Herald. He Saw It.
