Intelligent house wives all over the country are waking up to the fact that it is cheaper, quicker, cleaner, easier better in every possible way to cook with GAS than with any other fuel. With the vast improvement in gas ranges of late years, and the present low prices of gas in Lincoln, it is no longer economical to use any but a GAS range. A dinner for ten persons can be cooked on a GAS RANGE at, a cost of SEVEN CENTS. An ordinary breakfast can be cooked for about TWO CENTS. A GAS RANGE is cheaper than any other range. It costs less to 'buy," costs less to operate, costs less to maintain. A GAS RANGE saves TIME, WORRY, MONEY and WORK. 13:20 O Street Lincoln, INelbrsLstca mm To the Workingmen! ...We handle... ..UNION MADE GOODS., and am a worklngman myself.

The colors, too, come in for their share of considera tion. One of the novelties is a new coat model. The coat is a trifle longer than last season. Broad collar and lapels, cut in lightly to the figure, and has French pressed side seams with 1 7-inch vent in center of back, making this one of the snappy coats of the season's creation. Greys will have the call, with blues and browns a close second, although many fancy mixtures in neat and bright effects are shown.

Julian, who has been repre senting the Western Newspaper Union on the road for several years, with headquarters in Chicago, has been made manager of the Lincoln branch. Mr. Julian is an old newspaper man and one of the most genial gentlemen imaginable. His ability to manage the large affairs of the Lincoln branch is conceded by all who know him, and the country newspaper men will find him a pleasant and agreeable man to do business with. He has served his time on a country paper, and also time as a daily newspaper man, and he knows the newspaper game both ways from the middle. their pay envelopes. They also like to tell the ladies what good union men they are. Trade Union Advocate. Short-Sighted. We find some men with union cards In their pockets who would .vote against an assessment of 5 cents if they thought the same would save some struggling local from destruc tion. They think every cent they give to the local, either in dues or assessments is spent by the interna tional officers riding in parlor cars or drinking champagne but they never kick about what they "thrown away' on whiskey, cards, dice and cigarets, from which they get no benefit in The Silent Gossip It isn't always what you say that hurts your fellow man; There are other ways of giving him the "hooks." And knockers long since learned to try a more effective plan They simply do it by their knowing looks. No spoken word why waste the breath? Just give a little wink, Or elevate your eyebrows half an inch. Just toss your head a trifle, smile a bit and slyly blink, 1 And you've done the dirty business that's a cinch. There's Brown, your nearest neighbor, he's distasteful unto you But you haven't nerve enough to speak it out. So whene'er you hear him mentioned as a fellow good and true. You only wink your eye, expressing doubt. You grin a knowing kind of grin, your eyes are narrow slits, But never say a word from that you flinch. But your actions tell your story, and his name is smashed to bits, And you've done the dirty business that's a cinch. You envy Mrs. Jones a bit, and know no reason why; But never stop to give her half a chance. You merely hate the woman, though you smile on passing by And curl your lips when taking back ward glance. You hear her kindly mentioned and you toss your head and smile. But wouldn't dare a word in tightest pinch. But your nodding tells your feelings, and in just a little while You have done the dirty business that's a cinch. It isn't always what you say you needn't say a word To blast a woman's name beyond re pair. Perhaps you never spoke her name that anybody heard, Yet smooched a reputation that was fair. And all the while you do it you are puffing up with pride That you wouldn't gossip even in a pinch; But your nod or wink or smiling in a knowing way aside And you've done the dirty business that's a cinch. what you have rather than hustle for something better. That you spend a lot of time wish ing you could do big things and fail to do the little things that .amount to a great deal in the aggregate. It's Too Often the Case That you spend too much time criti cizing and too little time helping. That your boasted "plainness , of speech" is merely boorishness. That you content yourself with giv ing advice instead of lending a helping hand. That you are planning such big things for tomorrow that you forget to attend to today's duties. That you grumble at the wrongs that abound on all sides and fail to make any effort at righting them. That you attend to the business of others without warrant and neglect your own business without excuse. That you waste time envying the man who has a fortune and fail to make use of what lies at your hand. That you-yearn for reforms without giving any assistance to those who are striving earnestly to bring them about. That you waste a lot of time de nouncing politics as "dirty business" and neglect to go to the primaries and purify it. That you wish you could give mil lions to save the heathen and forget to speak the kind word that might help your neighbor. That your boasted optimism is mere ly a laziness that impels you to accept A Mental Reservation "Do you not believe that senators should be elected by the people?" we asked of Senator Graball. "I have no objections," replied the senator after a judicial pause. "How ever, I see nothing objectionable to the present system of selecting the proper man for the people to elect." Gradual "It is a sin to steal a pin," To steal a loaf is crime. To steal a beef makes you a thief And sets you doing time. But steal some laws and get your paws On every fellow's throat, And take his wealth by crook and stealth And you're a man of note. Indeed, that is your greatest chance To be called "captain of finance." Of Course "It is not true that I receive rebates from the railroads," indignantly cried the great manufacturer and refiner. "But I can manufacture and refine as cheaply as you, and yet you under sell me and make a profit," com plained the small manufacturer. "I reiterate that rebates have noth ing to do with it," - insisted the mag nate. After the complainant had retired the magnate remarked sotto voice: "Of course, the fact that I own most of the railroads has nothing to do with the case." - Smiling a "knowing smile the mag nate proceeded to add to his reputa tion for philanthropy by drawing an other check. . , A Little Fable i 1 viiw ufpuu a umc c vi uicaua . builded a beautiful office buMding j twenty stories high, fitting up, the rooms with great care, supplying safe ty vaults, fire escapes, tiled floors and ornamental lighting fixtures. Then he advertised for tenants. "But you have provided no eleva tor," said the first applicant, "and you have no stairway." "Quite true," said the owner. "But you will observe I have left several shafts in which elevators may be run." "But what is the good of that with out the elevators?" queried the applicant. "O, that's all right," said the own er. "As soon as I get a few tenants I will give some man or corporation a franchise to operate an elevator, leav ing him free to make all he can out of the service." With a scornful laugh the applicant turned away and would have no more dealings with the owner of the beau tiful building. ' ' Moral:' The people are rapidly grasp ing it. What is the difference between an elevator that runs perpendicularly in a building, and an "elevator" that runs laterally through the streets? . Different Now "The time hangs heavy on my hands," The poet sadly wrote. 'Tis different now. Since then lie signed v v , A promissory note. ' And now the way days chase the days Doth fill that poet with amaze. . . i Odd i "That fellow, Hardhedde, is a queer sort of duffer." . "What makes you think so?" "O, he graduated in my class, and he had the nerve to insist that our class motto be written in common -English." . Good Reason "Why did you quit Beasley's res taurant and go to Bardsley's?" "Well, because Beasley's cooking : was 'English and the bill ' of fare French, while Bardsley's cooking Is ' French and the bill of fare English." ,
