MAUPIN LINCOLN, NEBRASKA The navy is always over the fire At heme it is roasted and abroad it ii Itoasted. You have probably noticed that at heiress never finds it necessary tc take advantage of the leap year priv ilege. A rich man can no doubt get to heaven, but will it be heaven when he gets there and realizes that he is Bat brcke? But nobody can make those foreign automobilists believe that the Panama canal is half as bad as the ordinary American roads. London and New York are planning rush-hour street cars solely for work ingwomen and the girls will not mess them all up with tobacco, either. Ten thousand dollars for the exter mination of mosquitoes seems a lot of money, but if the little pests are really exterminated R will be worth it. If people were as ready to overlook a minister's shortcomings as they are to overlook the plate as it goes by, there would be fewer church rows. They have found a plesiosaurus In Chill. This is in pleasing contrast with a great many other things which are being found just now in divers places. Nowadays when a prominent man gets into the papers It is an even chance whether it is because he is honored by his country or indicted by a grand jury. A Mexican judge is reported to have sentenced a woman to "six months' si lence." The assertion that Mexicans are cruel by nature seems to have some foundation. A Kansas City centenarian says that he did not take up smoking until he was 96. He wisely avoided the chances of acquiring a bad habit until he had reached the age of discretion. A Duluth man has jumped 116 feet on ekls. The time may come when it will be necessary to depict Mercury with skis Instead of wings on his feet In order to make him impressive. A Chicago physician argues that we should all take at least 20 minutes tc wake up in the morning. Fathers and mothei'3 can furnish the names ol children who take longer than that. King Menelik of Abyssinia wants $600,000 to relinquish a strip of terri tory he has seized upon. Contact with civilization is teaching the un tutored child of nature the most profit able ways of doing things. A Massachusetts hen recently laid an egg containing a quarter. Evidently the recent financial stringency nas in duced the hens of the country to turn their attention from the rjolitical prophecy line to the money market. Non-secret clubs, to which all the students are eligible, have been pro posed in Chicago as a substitute fot the secret fraternities in the high schools. If the pupils have time for such distractions, the open club is immeasurably superior to the secret organization. How many young ladies who re ceived valentines this year regarded them seriously? Lovers have out grown the bashfulness of those of a few generations ago, and now express their sentiments more directly, even it in a less poetic manner; and the sending of valentines is chiefly an amusement for children to-day. A bachelor ased 93 years has just died in Indiana, leaving the parting advice to his sex that they "don't live a batch as I did live." However, the b jhelor who is determined upon a course of single blessedness will use the longevity as an argument that the aforesaid blessedness is rather con ducive to good health and strength. Count Boni de Castcllane is said to have so much respect for his former wife that he does not want any other man to marry her. It would seem more natural if he claimed to have so much love for Ills former wife's Amer ican dollars that it makes him indig nant whenever he thinks of her sec ond marriage, which would effectually cut him off from a chance of ever re gaining control of them. How general has become the im pulse to alleviate the sufferings of animals is shown by two recent oc currences in Boston, in one case a crowd of several hundred persons watched for two hours the struggles of a pigeon to free itself from a string which had become wound round its leg and held it suspended from a cornice. Many of the watchers tried to help, and all of them cheered heartily when the bird succeeded in freeing itself. In the other case a sergeant of police and a patrolman worked hard for 15 min utes to rescue a cat from a sewer. A California court has decided in suit for damages that the rights of a pedestrian on public highways are par amount, and that a man run down by an automobile cannot be accused of contributory negligence in not keeping a sharp lookout, as it is the duty of the autolst to keep that lookout. This is very different from the verdict of a coroner's jury here, says the Baltimore American, that the victim of a similar accident was guilty of criminal negligence in not leaving the street clear for a speeding automobile. Iftehold the Man By RUDYARD Celebrated OOXEIl or later you will I I SI wealth does not appeal, whom the methods of amassing that I Tnt.H li ilr Tirsf vniaTCicf on I n-lin nrvf o iiAimir If vtmi offer it to him at a certain price. At first yon will be inclined to laugh at this man, and to think that he is not smart in his ideas. ' I suggest that you watch him eloesely, for he will presently demonstrate to yon that money dominates everybody except the man who does not want money. You may meet that man on your farm, in 3-our village, or in your legislature. But be sure that, when- ever or wherever you meet him, as soon as it comes to a direct issue be tween you, his little finger will be thicker than your loins. - You will go in fear of him ; he will not .go in fear of you. You will do what he wants ; he will not do what yon want. You will find that you have no weapon in your armory with which you can attack him; no argument with which you can appeal to him. Whatever 3'ou gain, he will gain more. I would like 30U to study that that man, because from the lower point of view it doesn't pay to be ob sessed by the desire of wealth for wealth's sake. If more wealth is neces sary to you, for purposes notyour own, use your left hand to acquire it, but keep your right for your proper work in life. If you employ both arms in that game you will be in danger of stooping; in danger also of losing your soul. But in spite of everything you may succeed, you may be successful, you may acquire enormous that 3ou stand in grave danger of pointed out as a smart man. And that is one of the most terrible calami ties that can overtake a sane, civilized white man to-day. They say youth is the season of last word youth needs is an exhortation to be cheerful. Some of you here know, and I remember, that youth can be a season of great depression, despondencies, doubts and waverings, the worse because they seem to be peculiar to ourselves and incommunicable to our fellows. There is a cer tain darkness into which the soul of the j-oung man some time descends a horror of desolation, abandonment, and realized worthlessness, which is one of the most real of the hells in I know of what I speak. This is of which is the egotism of the human for your comfort thfit the chief cure yourself, in some issue not personal or, preferably, another man's joy. as sometimes it doesn't; if the black cloud will not lift, as sometimes it will not ; let me tell j-oir again for your comfort that there are many liars in the world, but there arc no liars like our own sensations. The despair and the horror mean nothing, because there is for you nothing irremedi able, notliing ineffaceable, nothing irrecoverable in anything you may have said or thought or clone. If for any reason-you cannot believe or have not been taught to believe in the infinite mercy of heaven, which has made us all, and will' take earewe do not go far astray, at least believe that you are not yet sufficiently important powers above us or beneath us. In thing seriously except yourselves. Woman Suffrage in America By ANNE CO BDEN-S ANDERSON, Prominent Leader si "Sullraf 1 Easlsns. franchise to American born citizens sign the petitions against woman suffrage, and so far they have met with suc cess in the east. "We have got everything we want," the' say, and as I used to tell them at my meetings: "You have a great deal more than you deserve." But I could not get any of them to oppose me, or even to put a ques tion. At the Century club in Philadelphia the only person who could be found to start an opposition was a lawyer, and the general impression was that it was rather bad taste for a man to contradict a woman. Such scenes as we liave here at meetings would be quite impossible in America. If people don't approve they stay away or walk out. They don't inter rupt. There are two classes of women in the United States upon whom the chief hope of the movement for woman suffrage rests. The one is the college girl. She is a far larger class than we have here, because there are so many women's colleges and universities in America. I am bound to say that as a rule they know little about the question, perhaps because they approach it' from a different standpoint. The idea of the thinking college girl is to go into politics in order to purify it. I spoke at Bryn Mawr college, near Philadelplria, and there, as else where, the girls were perfectly enthusiastic.-, They were quite ready for the "gospel," because they study sociology and political economy, and, in fact, one result of this is that they all want to go into settlements and work among the poor when they leave college. And the other class is the working women, or rather the laboring women, whose only means of improving their condition and obtaining better wages is by combination and getting political power. Women will get the vote in America by way of socialism. Just now we arc at the beginning of a great is no chance of an independent labor England. But everything will come Woman suffrage is not likely separate legislation in America. Ihe thing is too complicated. There are five states altogether that have adopted it, but only Colorado as a state the others introduced woman suilrage wnen tney were territories. And of course that does not touch federal government. So 1 think that women will :have to wait until the American Federation of Labor is strong enough to have i(a way for woman suffrage is part of its prognai 1.

But I can tell you for it is to interest yourself, to lose to 3-ourself in another man's trouble But if the dark hour does not vanish, to 'be taken too seriously by the other words, take anything and everjT- The question of woman suffrage in the United States is quite different from what it is in England. To begin with, there is nc opposition whatever from the men. They may be indifferent, but the3' are not hostile. They say in effect: "If women want to vote they will get it, we won't stop them." The opposition comes from the rich women the onl3r idle class to be found in Amer ica. These' horrid women and they arc sup ported only by a few men who object to the alien vote and would like to confine the movement in that direction.

The simplest housework complete - ly exhausted me. I had no strength or ambition and suf fered headache and dizzy spells. .

If there are any more chicken thieves like the one who entered his hennery three weeks ago, Thomas In graham of Park Mills, N. Y., will glad ly furnish a chart of the grounds and guarantee to tie up the dog. A few mornings ago Mr. Ingraham entered the hennery, and to his amazement found a dozen fowls in place of the ones that he had - missed after the visit of the thief. He also found hang ing to a nail in the building a scrawl which said: "Mister Farmer, I was wicked when I stole them chicks of you, but wringed their necks when I booked 'em from the roost, so could not put 'em back. Am awful sorry I done it, ana will prove what I say by bringing you other chickens which I never stole. Them I took were com mon chicks, these are blooded. Never will I steal any more. Sinner." . With Buch a conscience, the sinner's resolu tion is evidence of good business judg ment, for Mr. Ingraham eays the fowls he received are worth at least twice as much as the ones whose necks were "wringed" when they were "hooked." NOT SO BAD AS HE LOOKED. She Then you admit that you only married me for my money? He Well, I'm glad you know that at least I'm not a fool. What's a Widower? Is a widower a married or a single man? . ' This question continually crops up and it is continually being answered both ways. Certainly a widower is married he is not a bachelor. That Is one answer. Certainly, on the other band, no matter what the man once was, he is single now. That is the other answer. Thus in all match games of single against married men games of hockey, football, baseball, cricket the poor widower is tossed from one side to the other like a shut tleclock. The solution depends solely upon his skill. , Your Very Own. There's one thing that seems to roa funny. When the state of a bank becomes runny. You're supposed to go back ' And sit down.
