Oh you wen going for the doctor

Yes I can bring In the doctor

If the court could have doue so Cer

The Way He Secured a Rare Piece of
Dresden Ware
We should cultivate our fancy for old
china as did the late Mr Wertheimer
the art dealer concerning whom there
Is a story tjiat every bargain hunter
should take to heart
Wertheimer was one day passing
through May fair when he noticed a
sale about to take place of the ttirni
ture and household effects of a de
ceased nobleman Be walked through
the rooms where dealers were critical
ly examining choice specimens of un
doubtedly genuine Chippendale and
Sheraton interspersed among early
Victorian furniture his eyes apparent
ly dwelling on nothing But when the
sale was about to commence he asked
the auctioneer it bp would take jlHki
for everything in the house
The offer was accepted Now you
can resell everything for me said Mr
Wertheimer except this and he took
down from the mantelpiece a dirty or
nament some nine inches high and put
it into his pocket It was a piece ot
the rarest Dresden bearing the covet
ed mark of the wand of Aesculapius
which he afterward sold for 10000
How the dealers metaphorically kick
ed themselves for overlooking it and
how they bid against oue another iu
the chance of securing a similar treas
ure is still a tradition in Bond street

A Tragic Case of Treasure Hunting In
Egypt
A certain Egyptian native discov
ered the entrance of a tomb In the
floor of his stable and at once pro
ceeded to worm his way down the
tunnel This was the end or the man
His wife ti tiding that he had not re
turned two hours or so later went
dwwn the newly found tunnel after
him That was the end of her also
In turn three other members of the
family went down Into the darkness
and that was the end of them
A native olllcial was then called and
lighting his way with a candle pene
trated down the winding passage
The air was so foul that he was soon
obliged to retreat but he stated that
be was just able to see in the distance
ahead the- hodies of he unfortunate
peasants all of whom had been over
come by what he quaintly described
as the evil lighting and bad climate
Various attempts at the rescue of the
bodies having failed we gave orders
that this tomb should be regarded as
their sepulcher and that its mouth
should be sealed up
According to the natives there was
evidently a vast hoard of wealth
stored at the bottom of this tomb and
the would be robbers had met their
death at the hands of the demon in
charge of it who had seized each man
by the throat as he came dowu the
tunnel and had strangled him A E

GRATITUDE OF THIEVES
With
Honest Men
The thief In the community Is very
much like the boy whose meanness or
ruffianism has cammed the other little
children to band together to ostracize
him He may move about with a sul
len swagger Varry a chip on his shoul
der and a vicious gleam m his eye but
there is always a sob in his throat
So the thief i longing and aching to
get back in the circle out ot which he
has been ruled
If any honest man wants to meet
lively gratitude let him knowingly give
the countenance of his company to a
crook It will he a favor never forgot
ten Every lawyer practicing at the
criminal bar knows this One very
well known practitioner of genial per
sonality and large tolerance occasion
ally takes a client to dinner at a good
restaurant or braves an appearance
with him at a theater There have bepn
embarrassing results due to the enm
inals gratitude
After one of these evenings the
lawyer laughingly told me Im kept
for days dodging and returning pres
ents sent by the crook watches scarf
pins cuff links now and then a valua

The Wolf In Disguise
Once upon a time a wolf who was
going after the farmers chickens took
the advice of a fox and disguised
himself in sheeps clothing
For said the fox if the dogs see
you they will take you for a harmless
lamb and let you pass
When the disguised wolf was near
the chicken house be heard the dogs
bark and saw them running toward
him at the top ot their speed
I am a fool said the wolf For
now the dogs think I am a lamb and
have no fear ot me I will change my
mind get out of this incumbering
clothing and make a winning fight
But before he could get the garment
off the dogs were upon him and took
his life

mind than your clothing New York

A major in an English regiment has
a great contempt for incapacity ot any
kind and is somewhat impatient A
sergeaut complained to him that he
could get no man to undertake the
duty ot barber to the company

pany asked the major testily See
If you can find one and send him to
me
The man was duly sent but on re
ceiving orders to act as barber ven
tured to expostulate

Very Red Tape

accident revealed that contrary to the
bylaws of the town the house own

SOCIALIST COLUMN
Advertisement
Tho Socialists of Red Willow county
in coming before tho people of this com
munity with a tieket for which they
ask the support of all voters who are
concerned in the greater good for the
greater number are thus re affirming
their utmost fHith in the rectitude of
such governmental methods as must be
the direct and inevitable produce of
those principles of human association
into the organic forms of government
for which socialism stands Our apponl
to the voter of Red Willow county for
his voto in the coming election is not an
appeal to assist us to got our feot under
the pie counter or to assist us to the
spoils of office only but an earnest effort
to give those principles for which our
party stands that standing with the
Mon all over tbejeountry to day re
gardless of party affiliation are ex
pressing something of the spirit of dis
content with the established order of
things and are saying that party is of
no consequence and that men are every
thing and so for many years now men
ia all elections other than in national
contests have but lightly regnrded or
observed party lines voting rather for
men than in obedience to party senti
ment thinking that to get honest men
into office whatever their politics was
in the veryjnature of things a panacea
for those evils of which they have com
plained year after year Though men
have been elected from this party and
that and partylines bavo been broken
in a htate or a county and we have had
a blending of all political shades in state
county or municipal administrations
yet the same evils are complained of
now that were the burden of popular
lament ten years ago
All this time you bavo been voting
for first this man of this particular
political complexion and then that man
of some othyr particular political com
plexion and so down the line repub
lican democrat populist prohibitionist
independent and a fusion of all these in
an endless combination yet your woes
have in no sense diminished but rather
have increased and few of us have ever
stopped to ask why or tried to analyze
the conditions responsible for such
meager results from so promising a
scource of good as honest men elected
to office should seem to be men too
whose honest is certain ana whose rep
utation has never been sullied by any
official act Notwithstanding all these
factors which should make for good in
the administration of public affairs all
your efforts to secure relief from those
things esteemed to be vicious in nature
as regards the operation of our public
affairs have been sterile ot the results
sought to be obtained
Then since the placing of good and
honest men in office regardless of their
political affiliations has not resulted in
the relief desired to be obtained it must
be obviously apparent that we must
find something else that must go with
the placing of good men in office a
something that shall be an evor present
influence with them aforcoof circum
stance which shall render them con
stantly conscious of the fact that the
representative of tho masses the major
ity of whom have created him as to bis
official entity can in the very nature of
things have in his official capacity any
individuality other than the individual
ity prescribed by the law creating such
office of which he is the impersonal
manifestation and since the organic
law is or should be the will and man
date of majorities themajority has no
just grounds for censure against the
official who thus fulfills the object of
his official being
We socialists ask your support at the
poles because we are the only political
pirty today on the face of the earth
that demands that public officials be
just as amenable to their constituents
after election as before and while there
are now no laws on the statute books of
Nebraska covering the matter we have
in our party organization that which
enables us to reach the offender in that
direction with a considerable degree of
efficacy for the official who is in any
sense recreant to the duties of office and
the trust reposed in him is promptly
expelled frem the party that to the
man who is thoroughly familiar with
socialist thought and the economic in
dications of our times is the most seri
ous calamity that may befall one who
has any ambition to attain political ad
vancement The thoroughly grounded
socialist is fully conscious that socialism
This the face
of the man
who burns
coal bought
at Bullard
Lumber Co
is tho next stage in the evolution of tho
eocinl order and to be barrod from
further participation in tho affairs of his
party is equivalent to his utter political
death More than this as a safeguard
against the evils of which wo bavo been
speaking and of which men everywhere
complain is this no socialist who has
not been o member of tho socialist party
in good standing for ot least two years
is illegible to bo a socialist candidate
for office
These are but a few of the reasons
socialists have to offer why tho voter
should support socialist candidates for
office
Wo indeed realize that good and
honest men are greatly to be desired in
all places of publi trust and while it
is our constnnt endeavor to place no
other than good and honest men on
socialist tickets wo also are sufficiently
well acquainted with human nature to
know that some influence must be
stantly brought to bear on even good
u i r ti
f and honest men otherwise it is tho most
achievement
natural thing in the world that men
however honest may at times forget
their official entity and for the moment
be guided in their actions by individual
considerations and these lapses into
ones own personal entity while in dis
charge of public duties and this at
bottom is tho sum of all official mis
conduct
