A Novel Bottle
In furnishing Information concern
ing Calcuttas supply of the various
-soft drinks Consul General William
H Michael refers as follows to an im
proved bottle In use
Tills bottle is so blown as to con
tain in tho neck a round glass stop
per which is forced upward by the
cas in the bottle and holds the gas
perfectly An expert can remove half
the contents of one of these bottles
and by a shako force the ball up into
the neck and thus preserve the re
maining half for future use It is an
iugonious device and every way su
perior to the old style corks In open
ing a bottle a wooden cup shaped de
vice which Ills in the hollow of the
hand and contains a short nipple is
placed over and against the glass ball
stopper and pressed downward This
causes the ball to drop down into the
neck of the bottle prevents too rapid
escape of gas- and foam and if only
part of the contents is required the
ball may be forced back into the posi
tion as stopper
Nebraskas Meeting Place
Thats what people are now calling
the city of Lincoln Nearly all so
cieties of every sort meet sometime
during the year in Lincoln and this
gives The State Journal a peculiar
Interest to state readers as it devotes
more space to such meetings than
any two of the other state papers The
recent teachers association called to
gether nearly 5000 of the slate teach
ers and every home that has a school
child was interested in the reports of
their doings Especially was every
member of a school board interested
Soon will come the great agricultural
meetings and columns of facts will
be printed in The Lincoln Journal that
affect the earning power of every far
mer Then of course the legislature
will be here for three months and
eurely you will be interested in what
It will do in regard to regulating the
liquor traffic and guaranteeing bank
deposits The Journal spends more
money for and devotes more space to
Its legislative reports than any other
paper Its a Journal specialty The
Journal is not a city paper its a
state paper and its energies are
pushed in the direction of dealing
with state affairs Whatever inter
ests you as a taxpayer interests The
Journal and you will find the impar
tial disinterested facts in its columns
Putting It Up to the Querist
The next letter the information ed
itor opened contained this question
What is the correct pronunciation
of irrefragable
Consult your unabridged he
wrote and savagely Impaled both the
query and answer on the coy hook
For somebody has carried away the
office dictionary
It was about midnight that the de
tectives arrive with their prisoner
and a Mr Collins the principal de
positor in the bank and therefore the
principal loser was awakened at his
home and informed by telephone of the
capture
He expressed his gratification and
went back to bed
Shortly afterward he was aroused
to receive another telephone message
to the same effect from a different
source
This sort of thing continued to such
an extent that Collins grew very
wrathy so that when he answered
the phone bell for the last time he
was in anything but an amiable frame
of mind
Hello Collins came over the wire
Yes What do you -want
Collins this is Deputy Sheriff
Myers Weve caught that runaway
receiver Is there anything youd like
to have me do personally in the mat
ter
Yes roared Collins hang up the
receiver Illustrated Sunday Maga

The Jolly Fat Man
When you meet a how legged man
In the street do you stop him and
ask how it feels to walk that way
On being introduced to a man with
a fape like an inverted comic sup
plement do you condole with him on
being so homely Do you recommend
to the sallow man sitting next you
In a car a tonic for his liver At
uncheon do yuo hint to the puffy eyed
er nosed stranger opposite you that
he ougt to get on the water wagon
Of course you dont You would not
be so impolite You might hurt their
feelings
But when you meet a fat man its
different Everybody recognizes him
as legitimate prey He is a buttt for
jokes a subject for condolence an ob
ject ftr advice Even the man so
thin that he does not know whether
it Is his back or hi sstomach that
hurts him takes it for granted that
he Is the fat mans ideal and insists
on giving him advice on how to re
duce Everyone Imagines that the fat
man must be unhappy because ho
weighs jnore than the average person

Sheltered within the hollow of her arm
The Son of Man lay sleeping On her
cheek
She felt his warm breath stirring like
the faint
And fragrant breeze that fans the
silver leaves

Still shadowed with the pains of moth

Dwelt tenderly upon the placid brow
And cherub features of the infant
Christ
