ADVERTISING NEBRASKA
At a recent meeting of the asso
ciated commercial clubs of Nebraska
the legislature came in for a good
round scoring for failing to make an
appropriation of money to be used in j
advertising Nebraskas resources and
attractions for home seekers and in- j
vpstors We hold no defense bnef
foi the legislature but the occasion
warrants challenging attention to the
insistent persistent and consistent ad
vertising which Nebraska enjoys
through its newspapers daily and
weekly published as private under-
takings with only such help as their j
respective communities give them in
the way of subscription and
ing patronage I
We do not believe any state in the
union has as loyal and public spirited

Not To Be Expected
Some cities do not permit pool halls
to be ran in the same room where
the sale of liquor is licensed But
of course such a suggestion for Om

THE McCOOK TRIBUNE
Queer Lawsuit
Forhaps the most remarkable suit
ever brought is on the records of the
court of the exchequer in England It
was filed on Oct 1T27 and it sets
forth very clearly that John Everit
I and Joseph Williams were highway
robber Jn its succinct legal phrases
J the complaint says that the men
ed a partnership for the purpose of
carrying on business as highwaymen
It was mighty profitable as was
shown by the fact that Everit sued
Williams for the equivalent of o000
being for moneys wrongfully appro
priated to defendants private purse
This was the amount in dispute after
the partnership had lasted only a year
Then Everit claimed that he discover
ed that his partner had not made a
fair division of the spoils The action
was adjudged to be a gross contempt
of court and the plaintiff was ordered
to pay all costs while the solicitors
who served the writ were fined One
of the solicitors a man named
AVrcatheock refused to pay the fine
and was sent to prison for six months
Both plaintiff and defendant to the ac
tion were subsequently hanged one at
Tyburn and the other at Maidstone
Spoke Their Minds
The original womans rights woman
of the modern era according to a con
tributor to the Paris Figaro was
Olympe de Gouges a Frenchwoman
who was beheaded but not before she
had wittily pointed out the gulf fixed
by custom between womans inherent
and her civic rights In 1791 in a
manifesto which had no precedent
whatever and which contained an ar
ticle which has kept suffragists going
ever since the intrepid Olympe de
Gouges declared Woman has the
right to mount the scaffold she should
also have the right to mount the trib
une
Another way of expressing the same
idea is credited to Mme Condorcet It
is said that Bonaparte when consul
remarked to Mme Condorcet
I dont like to have women mix up
in politics
In a country where their heads are
cut off the wife of the philosopher
returned without hesitation it is nat
ural that they should want to know
the reason why
Stopping a Steamship
M Bertin chief engineer of naval con
struction in the French navy figured
out from elaborate calculations in how
into the circumstances and said turn
as she is today In those old days
when a foreign ship entered the Japa
nese ports the captain was obliged to
place his Bible and rudder in charge
of the chief officer of the port and
leave them there until he was ready
to sail Of course he wouldnt sail
without either and the Japs could
easily keep tabs on the movements of
all ships in their harbors
The Seven Sleepers
The seven sleepers of Ephesus a fa
vorite subject in medieval art were
seven Christians who to escape the
persecution of Decius concealed them
selves in a cave whose mouth was
closed by their enemies The cave was
rediscovered 200 years afterward
when fha sleepers awoke youthful and
in perfect health
Both Wrong
You have deceived me she com
plained You gave me to understand
that you were rich
Well you deceived me too he re
plied You caused me to believe
that you would be brave and cheerful
if it ever became necessary for us to
get along on a small income Judge
Like the Egg
He always was a bad egg but no
body seemed to notice it Avhile he was
rich
Yes he was all right until he was
broke
A Wedding
A little girl of three and a half yeaxs
defined a wedding as its when a lady
goes into church with a curtain on her
head and comes out with a man
It is not by sitting on the fence and
counting the weeds in our neighbors
field that we obtpin a better harvest
