You nitty be in a hurry and you loubtless object to be kept waitIng - Ing at the phone , but the tele phone girl has troubles of her own. The other day I was in the office of the local 'phone com- iany for about fifteen minutes waiting for a long distance call. There was not an instant during ny wait that the shutters were lot falling and the girl in cease- ess monotony was asking "num ber ? " To put in eight hours of that kind of work would drive : he man who cusses because of a minutes delay , to the foolish louse. For myself , if I were compelled to do that kind of work , I would dream of falling shutters and be asking "number" all night long. If you don't get your call as soon as you would ike you are safe in taking it for granted that there arc several calls ahead of you and that the patient , hard worked girl is put ting in the plugs as fast as nim ble hands will permit , and that she is not keeping you waiting tnnccessavilv. So don't cuss. ' * * * Falls City has a descendant of the Yankee from New England and he can beat any man on earth trading horses or swapping jack-knives. His success in this line of endeavor was being com mented on the other da } ' by some dry goods box philosophers , ap proposof which one of them told this stor } ' . An eccentric English man died , leaving a will in which German , a Frenchman , an Englishman and a Yankee were constituted joint executors. One of the man } * unusual provisions of the will was that each execu tor was to deposit $100 in the coflin to be buried with the decedent. After t h e funeral the executors met at a neighbor ing tavern to talk the matter of the estate over. Talking was dry work so the German called tor beer , the Englishman for porter , the Frenchman for wine and the Yankee for buttermilk. Veil , " said the German , "I put a hundrct tollars in gold in the coffin. " "And I , " said the French man , "put a hundred dollars in silver in the coflin. " "I put a liundred dollars in crisp paper bills in the coffin , " said the Englishman. The Yankee said nothing. The German could not restrain his curiosity and asked liim what he put in. "Me , " asked the Yankee , "Oh , I put in my check for S400 and took out the change. " You can't beat them. * The tetanus germ ( lockjaw ) has killed more than three hun dred children as a result of slight Fourtli of July injuries. This little organism seems to have the medical profession beaten to a pulp. After the disease is well defined there is no known cure for it , and before it is well de fined there is nothing to indicate its presence. Victims of tetanus germ die the most horrible death known a n d , notwithstanding scientists have been working on the problem for yearsno progress has been made. The germ is found nearly everywhere , but lives in the earth and especially in barn yards. It "gets into the system through some wound such as a cut or scratch. It work * along the nerves and reaches the brain in about seven days after it enters the system. When the brain is reached the first pro nounced symptoms are manifest and then it is too late to accom plish anything , death is certain. Tetanus , however , can be pre vented in most cases by a very simple precaution. If the wound is superficial it should be thor oughly and immediately cleansed with soap and hot water. If this is done and the injury kept perfectly cleaned no tetanus need be feared. If the wound is deep it should be opened by a physi cian and thoroughly cleansed and kept clean. If this were always done the germ will be removed and no danger need be feared. Tetanus is most common with farmers because of the fact : hat the germ propogates in the earth and barn yards. It can enter by the smallest scratch and the farmer with a wounded hand or the farmer boy with a cut foot ire exceptionally liable to the di sease. If you cut or scratch your land don't wait to see whether you are going to get lockjaw , : hc experiment is too dangerous. Wash it out at once , keep it clean and cover it with proper jandagcs or the tetanus bug nay get you if you don't watch out. The city administration is loing a great deal better about ceeping the streets and alleys clean and is entitled to the hanks of the community in gen eral , but there is still much to be lone. In many places the weeds are permitted to grow in unmo lested profusion. The sidewalks ; ip the Missouri Pacific hill arc iltnost impassible because of the tingle of weeds. Every visitor sees this forest the first thing ind no very favorable impression can be created by such a sight The harvest south of Miss [ Jerry's establishment s e e m s ibout ready for cutting. Mr. L/ippold has been doing excellent service with our weed crop but there are many that have not jcen visited that need attention. A clean well kept city is a joy forever , and there is no good reason why Falls City can not be clean , well kept and attractive. * * * Auburn had a great race meet , not a fair mind you , but a race meet. The } ' had some of the fastest horses in the west and the races each day were closely contested and exciting. On some of the days the grounds were crowded a n d notwithstanding large purses were given , the association made money. Why can't Falls City have something along this line ? We have as good a town as Auburn , we are surrounded by a better country , our people are fully as prosper ous , why is it that we have noth ing in the way of amusements year in and year out ? Within the pust two years Auburn has made many improvements and lias shown an enterprise that puts Falls City to shame. Time was when Falls City was known as the best little town in the state. Do you hear that said anymore ? It isn't going to change the condition to grumble and The Tribune does not mean to grumble , but it is time the attention of the people was called to the unfortunate condition. The plain truth is that Auburn has gone ahead of us and we are rapidly getting into the Hiawatha class. The Tribune will cooperate ate with any man or set of men either as a newspaper or in con tributing its money towards any enterprise that will put Falls City where it belongs , at the head of Nebraska's small towns.

W. E. DOKHINCSTON , Chairman. J. L. Cuuvnu , Secretary. Fatal Accident at DuBois. Charles Bily , the thirteen year old son of Anton Bily , liv ing in South Fork precinct , 8 niles north of DuBois , accident ally shot himself while hunting Sunday evening , and died as a result of the wound before he could reach a. doctor. The lad , accompanied by his twin brother and the hired man , had started out for a little hunt a few minutes prior to the acci dent and had gone but aquarter of a mile. The hired man was carrying the weapon a 22 cali bre rille and handed it to young Bily through the fence. The hedge at this point was very thick and while the hand was endeavoring to get through he heard a shot , followed by an exclamation , and looking up saw the unfortunate boy stag ger. On getting through the fence he hurriedly inquired as to what was the matter and Charley pointed to a blood spot on his shirt , near the right armpit , saying "I am shot. " Evidently the weapon had been discharged while he was drawing it muzzle torumost to ward him , and the bullet had s.truck him just under and in front of the right arm-pit , passing - ing between two ribs and thro both lungs. The bullet was found imbeded just beneath the skin back of the left shoulder blade , through which it had passed. The injured boy spoke but a few times after the accident and was unconscious when his com panions reached the house with him. He was immediately driven to Dubois tor medical at tention , but was dead when they reached town , having ex. pi red on the way. Coroner Collins was notified , and the following morning itn- paneled a jury , which held an inquest.

Worth While , Be not deceived , the man with blisters on his hands might have got them playing tennis. Keep your fingers out of the fire and you won't get them burned. A bumble bee is bloomin' small but he makes his presence known when he once butts in. [ f you haye nothing to give you have nothing to sacrifice. Don't blame the devil if you > to hades. [ f it weren't for death life vould in deed become lone some. A bachelor never knows how awkward he is until he tries to lold a baby. A sane woman hates a flat- erer. When truth slaps you square n the face it gives you some- .hing to think about. In their mad desire for notor- ely too many people don't care vhat kind of a reputation they ret. There are a vast number of nisunderstandings in the world. You can't believe more than ialf you hear , and the other uilf should be well shaken be- 'ore taken. There is no longer honor unong thieves , but decent peo- ile have as much as ever. A lie seldom does much harm n the long run. The fair dates are September I , 5 , 0 and 7. If there were no birds man could not live on the earth. Better watch the fellow who s always questioning people's no lives. Even a stingy person is al ways willing to give advice. No one is so prosperous that ic can afford to malign other people. A desire to get even has often , been the keynote of a man's suc cess. Value of property is entirely a matter of whether soinebody wants it. There are smaller dividends in the practice of hate than in : iny other occupation. It is hard to persuade a com munity that you are any better than your neighbors. A man does not really get old until he begins to feel secret [ ) ride in his infirmities. Every person imagines that iis is a special case among the 11s that affect mankind in gen eral. eral.A A school teacher near Trenton recently received this note from the mother ot one of her pupils : Dear Teecher On the last day of skul you jerked my boy by the neclce til you busted his sus penders and he had to come home holding his clothes onto hissclf with liib hands , which I don't like it. If he don't mind lik him all he needs but don't tear his clothes. We don't dress him up for a football game. And so no more for the present , Mrs. The shirtwaist man and the netwaist girl go hand in hand today , and people year after year go on throwing their clothes away. The [ coat and the vest are laid to rest and where is the fleecy shawl ? And the clothes get fewer and thin ner what will be the end of it all ? Oh , what will the shirt waist man take next from the things he has to wear ? And what will the netwaist girl throw on" her shoulders now half bare ? The shirtwaist man and the netwaist girl go rollick ing down the way. Have we started a trend that is going to end in the old fig leaf some day.
