Absenco of Mind
Mnuy amusing anecdotes are told of
blsiiop Burnets absence of luliid but
tew perhaps are more striking and
nave been less repeated than the fol
lowing which Lord Orford used to re
late
Burnet was once dining with the
Duchess of Marlborough after the
great dukes disgrace In the course of
conversation speaking of Marlbor
oughs great qualities great services
and great fall Burnet compared the
duke with Belisarius the great Ro
man
But how in reason exclaimed the
duchess could so great a general be
abandoned V
Ah my lady do you know what a
cursed brimstone of a wife he had
The hearers to the good Burnets
surpripc were confused and dumb
struck with the force of the parallel he
discovered In the cases of the Roman
aud the Englishman St James Ga
zette
The Count Too Touching
In the long corridor of an uptown ho
tel they tell of a certain foreigner who
until recently held court there of even
ings At last he disappeared and then
each of the men who had nightly been
entertained by his flow of anecdote
and his abundance of witty stories con
fessed that he had lent the count
various sums ranging from 100 up
The total seemed so formidable that a
movement was set on foot to bring the
defaulter back his whereabouts hav
ing been ascertained But funds were
needed for the purpose One of the
big ijien of Wall street who was a
creditor on the counts books to the ex
tent of 300 was approached for a sub
scription
Not on your life said he I dont
want him back LTcll borrow more
money from me if he gets in town But
Ill subscribe 23 toward a fund to
send him back to France If hell agree
to sail from Boston New York Globe
Recipe For Making Money
First catch your capital however
small or if homemade such as from
savings so much the better Place in
a steady secure position where it will
not be disturbed and allow to stand
Skim off all that accrues without waste
and with that at the proper season
make a stiff paste of business in
which place your capital or as much of
It as you can use with advantage A
little ripe judgment should be added
Season with hope and enterprise and
stir briskly with a bunch of fresh
energy While your pie is cooking
watch it carefully yourself and see
that nothing goes wrong Keep up a
good fire until It begins to brown and
dont take too much off the top for
tasting until the whole Is well cooked
then enjoy the result London Graph

Square Bullets
In 171S an Englishman James Puc
kle secured a British patent for what
seems to have been an attempt at a
breechloadiug rapid firing gun An
original feature of the invention was
the use of two different breech plates
one for square bullets to be used
against the Turks and the other for
round bullets to be used against Chris
tians It is curious to find two oppos
ing tendencies in the same invention
Orst the desire to construct a gun that
should be more effective because more
destructive and second a desire to
recognize certain ethical distinctions
in its use If a round bullet was too
good for a Turk a square one was too
bad for a Christian London Chroni
cle
Stereotyping
It is claimed that stereotyping was
known in 1713 It was practiced by
William Ged of Edinburgh about 1730
Some of Geds plates are to be seen at
the Royal institution London A Mr
James attempted to introduce Geds
process in London in 1733 but failed
Stereotype printing was used in Hol
land during the last century and a
quarto Bible and a Dutch folio Bible
were printed there It was revived in
London by Wilson in 1S04 Since 1S30
the durability of stereotypes has been
greatly increased by electrotyping them
with copper or silver
The Cure
Professor W E Grange author of
be History of Primitive Love al
luded in the course of a lecture in Bos
ton to the modern cynical view of love
that prevails I remember once hear
ing a bricklajer and a plumber discuss
love I hold said the bricklayer that
if you are terribly in love the way to
cure yourself is to run away The
plumber shook his head and sneered
That will cure you he said provided
you run away with the girl

BARTLEY
We have not sent the Tribune
any news for three weeks We
had news to send but it was all of
a kind smallpox expresses it all
Bartley is still on the map on
the Jim Hill railroad in the east
ern part of Red Willow county
no better county in the state and
Bartley is a good town The
financial panic was bad but only
a shadow compared with the busi
ness depression caused by small
pox We are over the worst now
There have been twenty eight
cases of smallpox here and only
one death Twenty seven of these
cases had never been vaccinated
the other being vaccinated over
ten years ago Looks like vacci
nation is a preventative Over
two hundred persons have been
vaccinated with pure antiseptic
bovine virus and no bad result in
any of them one out of twenty
eight died with smallpox and yet
some people will sa Vaccine is
more dangerous than smallpox
and is no prevention The fact
is quarantine stops the spread of
smallpox and vaccination pre
vents smallpox in ninety eight
percent of the cases The village
board has been very faithful to
quarantine all cases There is
not now nor has there been any
more danger of exposure to the
disease than in other towns
Nearly all cases have recovered
and the quarantine been raised
