NEVER t'RV QUITS.
It’s not a bit of uaa to keep on complaining;
It never smoothed a rough place In the road.
When ’neath a heavy burden you are straining
It never takes an ouAce from off your load.
To whine Is only adding to your sorrow:
Repining merely makes a longer day.
Brace up, and figure on a bright tomorrow,
And whistle merry tunes along tha way.
To keep your mind Intent upon your troubles
Is only adding burdens to your hack.
Knch groan about your 111 luck merely doubles
The ruts and rocks along your dally track.
To moan about the failures now behind you (
Will only serve the more of gloom to spread. j
Brace up. and let your failures just remind you
To profit by them In the days ahead.
The man who wins Is not the man bewailing
The setbacks he encounters as he goes.
Re is the man whose courage never failing—
Just grits his teeth and keeps up on his toes.
The world has never had use for a quitter,
But loves the man who gives his task his best.
Brace tip and smile, though draughts you quaff are bitter—
The man who stands the gafT leads all the rest.
Tim# was when we very easily got all het up over politics,
and It was not uncommon for us to be compelled upon return
ing home to explain to Lottie Clifford the reason for a highly
pungent breath and a somewhat disordered array. Clrcunt
r .stances over which we had no control have obviated explana
tions of the odor, and increasing years and accumulated wis
dom have combined to prevent the necessity of explaining dis
ordered raiment.
We are now able to take our politics calmly. Rabble rous
era on the platform are no longer able to bring us up stand
ing to lacerate our throat with vociferous cheering. In days
of old we seldom read a platform, but we whooped for It un
ceasingly, and the way we would rand our nether garments
for the ticket was always pleasing to the candidates thereon.
Now we dispassionately read the platforms, and discount
them from D7 to DIM per cent and accept the remainder with
mental reservations. It is only now and then that we feel
the urge to don an oilcloth cape arid shrieklngly carry a torch
In a parade behind a band and beneath flaunting banners.
Nven that infrequent urge Is soon dispelled by recalling the
subsequent actions of tha candtdatas for whom wa hollered our
fool head off.
When a delegate or apectator can not exhaust his genuine
enthusiasm In two minutes of cheering. It la high time he
consult an experienced alienist. Even two minutes is eome
thing like 110 seconds too long for us In thsse latter years
that have brought serenity In the face of hysteria.
When somebody telle us that It Is possible to keep up a
genuine demonstraiion In these days when Inspiration must
be surreptitiously obtained, we merely smile and mentally ob
serve that once more we have listened to a political paranoiac.

Worse than
the tornado!
ff The series of recent terrific
wind and rain storms, which started Sunday
and ended yesterday morning, caused more
trouble for the Nebraska Power Company
than did the terrible tornado of 1913.
★ ★ ★
Q The tornado swept through a
limited section of the city, while the series of
three storms did considerable damage to our
wires and poles in every district.
★ ★ ★
tfl Wires and poles were crashed
to the ground during these storms by wind
and falling limbs and trees, in more than 1,500
places, from Florence to the Sarpy County
line and from the river banks to the extreme
west.
★ ★ ★
<]f Every available employe of our
Company has been on constant duty since the
first storm Sunday night. William Anderson,
in charge of the repairmen, has not been with
his family for three days. Many other em
ployes, anxious to restore service, have grab
bed sleep and food in handfuls.
O'
|
<fl Because of the extreme danger I
in handling live wires, only experienced line- I
men can be used. We are unable to use inex
perienced men in this line of work for fear of
some one being seriously injured or killed. u
★ ★ ★
Cl Everything humanly possible
is being done to restore service. Every facility
of our organization, including every emer
gency agency, has been brought into play in
order to speed up the repair work.*
★ ★ ★
Cl There are still large numbers
of homes without service. Many street lights
are still out. This regrettable condition is not
limited to any one section of the city. West
Farnam and Dundee are receiving the same
treatment as South Thirteenth street, Benson
and Florence.
★ ★ ★
Our customers have been ex
tremely patient, for they realize that the un
usual conditions, which followed these storms,
are beyond the control of humans.
★ ★ ★
<1 We have striven always to
maintain the highest standard of service and
are now making every effort to keep this rec
ord unblemished.
