The ultimate Nebraska consumer
who seriously undertakes to calculate
his per cent of advantages in the new
tariff law is in danger of becoming a
state ward -if he pushes his quest too
far
It is not easy to harmonize the idea
of downward revision with the fact of
increased customs receipts just before
the new tariff law became effective The
hard headed importer knows the differ
ence between a theory and a condition
involving dollars and cents
Between sobs Evelyn Thaw murmurs
It is unjust to make me live on S7Q00
a week and an extra S20000 a month
Which is just 87000 per and 20000 on

The policy of Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger was fiercely assailed at the
recent sessions of the National Irrigation
Congress at Spokane The Press of that
city is outspoken in its opposition alleg
ing that one of Ballingers first official
acts was to undo the last act of then
President Roosevelt which with drew
85000000 acres of public land for entry
Ballinger is charged by the Press with
aiding the great water power tust in
cinching the nations available and in
valuable water power it states
The Amalgamated Copper company
owned by Senator Gugenheim is now in
obsolute possession of the Missouri
River from Three Forks in Southwestern
Montana to alkali plains west of Great
Falls This river holds probably the
most valuable power sites in the nation

THE BUFFALO
A Good Surveyor and One of Our First
Radmakers
The buffalo was a good surveyor It
did not reason out why It suould go In
a certain direction but its sure instinct
took It by the easiest and most direct
paths over blgb lands and low to the
salt licks and water courses which
were Its goal The authors of The
Story of the Great Lakes Edward
Channlng and M F Lansing say that
the buffalo observed something like
the principles which today govern the
civil engineer
As soon as the explorer landed on
the southern shores of Lakes Erie
Michigan arid Superior be came upon
buffalo roads or traces Sometimes
these were narrow ditches a foot wide
and from six inches to two feet deep
trodden down by the impact of thou
sands of hoofs as herd after herd of
buffaloes had stamped alon in single
file behind their leaders
When the tirst path became too
deep for comfort because of repeated
travel the buffaloes would abandon it
and begin a second path alongside the
first and thus the frequented traces
wouldbe gradually widened
Again an immense herd of thee
heavy animals would crash through
the forest breaking In their rapid
progress a broad deep road from one
feeding ground to another As this
route would be followed again and
again by this and other herds It would
become level and hard as a rock sn
that there was great rejoicing in pin
oeer settlements when the weary road
makers struggling with log causeways
and swampy hollows came upon n
firm solid buffalo trace Nor was t hi-
an uncommon experience
The line of many of these road i
followed today by our railroads and
canals as it was followed by our log
roads and turnpikes
The buffalo followed the level of the
valley He swerved round high points
whenever it was possible crossing the
ridges and watersheds at the best nat
ural divides and gorges and he crossed
from one side of a stream of water to
the other repeatedly in order to avoid
climbing up from the level after the
fashion of our modern loop railways
ONE OYSTER ENOUGH
He Swallowed It Alive and Had to Kill
It After It Was Down
A farm laborer from the interior on
his first visit to London dropped into
a small oyster shop where a number
of men were eating raw oysters The
extreme satisfaction displayed on the
faces of those about him created long
ings of a gustatory nature in the new
arrival who edged his way up to the
counter in anticipation of eating a
real live juicy oyster
It was the first time he had seen an
oyster and he became at once inter
ested and when the shellfish had been
finally uncased he proceeded to bal
ance it on the end of bis fork then
with a look of extreme satisfaction
gulped it down
Great Scott shouted a man stand
ing near bim You havent swallowed
the oyster alive have you
There was a horrible pause
That critter will eat right through
you shouted another
By this time the poor countryman
was shaking with fear and horror Se
commenced to have terrible pains in
his abdomen and was soon doubled up
in his agony He begged some one to
go for a doctor to get the thing out
He continued to grow worse when
some one suggested that he take a
dose of tabasco sauce which it was
claimed would kill the object that
was creating such terrible commotion
an his internal arrangement
He grasped the bottle with avidity
and took a draft His condition which
before had been alarming to the vic
tim now assumed a serious phase to
the perpetrators of the hoax
The man gasped and choked He
became black in the face and tears
were running down his face when
some one thrust a bottle of oil into
his mouth and he was forced to drink
copious drafts
The effect was magical The oyster
was evidently dead He became
more composed and when he finally
recovered bis breath he said
We killed it But when that darn
ed stuff got into my stomach that oys
ter rushed around as if a shark was
after it London Scraps
