THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , DECEMBER 28 , 1906.
WORTH WHILE
The average promise is like the
Ben Davis apple looks flue , but no
good.
A boy is the foundation on
vrhirh a man is built , and a good
foundation is everything.
Working down town has done
more for the girls than make
them independent : Jthastaught
( hem the art of dressing quickly.
It too often happens that the
only flowers mother gets are
those strewn on her grave.
Do you crowd your way
through the world , and make a
lot of unnecessary trouble ? Don't
answer off hand , but think it
over. And don't take your own
opinion entirely ; think it over
and decide what your acquaint
ances would say in answer to the
question. Anyone who makes
.mnecessarv trouble in this
vorleli is a criminal. There is
enough trouble that cannot be
avoided.
We all think we have a lot
, 'iore coming to use than \se ever
rfcl.
rfcl.No
No doubt many married men
.onlinue in love , but not in that
violent manner that affects the
appetite.
Do you profit by the bad ex
ample of otlicrs , or do you follow
their bad example' '
If you want people to think of
you as kind , honest and just you
must be so. If you want them
to look upon you as : t sharper
YOU only have to be a little sel
fish and hard. ( Gentleness , re
gard for others and charity will
make people love you , if that is
what you want. They will re
gard you about as you are gener
ally. Those who complain that
they are mistreated generally are
at fault themselves for the world
gives us just about what we de
serve. Your own conduct de
termines the feeling and opinion
others have regarding you
A man ought not to sacrifice
his opinions , even temporarily ,
for present success. It is wrong
, xnd besides it hardly ever pays.
One can think a good many
tilings without saving them.
If deception is ever excusable
it is when it will make same one
' "eel better.
When a man begins to think
'ie is smart enough to fool every
one else , he is liable to so sonu
foolish things.
Ueing busy has kept many :
> nin ; out of mischief.
When a man thinks it smart
to drink whisky there is no hope
/or him.
A man's life is so short and his
years are so manv before he get ;
any sense.
Unless you slap some men 01
the back they think you are coo
toward them.
When the devil takes after you
how he persists in it ! It is month :
before he sees a victim that suit ;
him as well as you do.
There are so many liars in tin
world that a reporter can't wel
help being anything else.
"Was there ever a man wh <
ilictn't accuse his women folks o
shopping lee much ?
If you should get more of thi
world's goods than your shar
would you tell any body about i
and offer to divide , or would yoi
ffeep on pleading poverty an
\ grasping for more of some on
I else's share ?
§ ome years ago a London paj
or offered a prize for the bcs
definition of money. The follow
ing was awarded the decision
"Money is an article which ma
be used as a universal passport t
everywhere except heaven and z
a provider of everything excci
happiness. " In these hurryin
elajs when the great aim of mo ;
men is to make money , this dei
nation may be pondered wit
profit.

; Abe Lincoln , Commoner.
"Keminiscences of a longlife , "
being the story of his own life
.written . by the late Carl Schurx
for the McClure magazine con-
i tains many remarkable pen
'portraits ' of noted characters.
The one in the current issue of
; the magazine of Abraham Lin-
I coin furnishes an intimate sight
| of the great commoner. Mr.
Schurz was on a railroad train
en route to ( Jitincy , 111. , where
Lincoln and Douglas were to
debate when he first saw Lin I
coln.
"All at once , after the train
had left a way station , I ob
served a y r e a t commotion
among my fellow passengers ,
many of whom jumped from
their seats and pressed eagerly
around a tall man who had just
entered the car. They addressed
him in the most familiar style :
'Hello , Abe ! How are you ? '
and so on. And he responded
in the same manner : 'Good eve
ning , Ben ! How are you , .Joe:1
Glad to see you , Dick ! ' and
there was much laughter at
some things he said , which , in
the confusion of voices , 1 could
not understand. 'Why. ' ex
claimed my companion , the
commiUeeman , 'there's Lincoln ,
himself ! ' He pressed through
the crowd and introduced me to
Abraham Lincoln , whom 1 then
saw for the first time.
must confess that I was
somewhat startled by his ap
pearance. There he stood ,
overtopping by several inches
all those surrounding him. Al
though measuring something
over six feet myself , I had ,
when standing quite near to
him , to throw my head back
ward in order to look into his
eyes. That swarthy face , with
its strong features , its deep fur
rows , and its benignant , melan
choly eyes , is now familiar to
every American. Et may be
said that the whole civili/ed
world knows and loves it. At
that time it was clean shaven
and looked even more haggard
and careworn than later , when
it was framed in whiskers.
On his head he wore a some
what battered 'stove-pipe hat. '
Uis neck emerged , long and sin
ewy , from a white collar turned
down over a thin black necktie.
His lankungainly body was clad
in a rusty black frock coat with
sleeves that should have been
longer ; but his arms appeared
so long that the sleeves of a
'store'coat could hardly have
been expected to cover them all
the way down to the wrists.
His black trousers , too , per
mi tied a very full view of his
large feet. On his left'arm he
carried a gray woolen shawl ,
which evidantly served him for
an overcoat in chilly weather.
His left hand held a cotton um
brella of the bulging kind , and
also a black satchel that bore
the marks of long and hard
usage. His right he had kept
free for hand shaking , of whicli
there was no end until every'
body in the car seemed satisfied ,
I had seen , in Washington and
f in the west , several public mei
of rough appearance , but none
whose looks seemed quite sc
uncouth , not to say grotesque ,
as Lincoln's. "
tu A large amount of treasun
still remains in the vaults of tin
old sub-treasur3' building on Com
tnercial street. Shortly aftc
the lire several safe experts wen
called upon to open the lock :
without injuring the vaults
Five worked and all failed.

Three weeks ago the sixtl
locksmith succeeded in opcninj

the outer door but the combination
ls
bination on the inner door refuse *
to yield , and for three weeks h <
has been doing his utmost t <
. master the mechanism , but with
j out success. He still has hope
that he will open the door.
The vault and contents an
| guarded day and night by a de
5t tachtnent of soldiers from tin
ie Presidio , under command of ;

who have been appointed Unite *

Thursday morning's session
was taken up with judging tin-
corn by Mr. J. D. Xtlicr of Hia
watha , Kan > as ami the same was
done by score card.
At 1:30 : p. tn. tin * meeting was j
called to ordt-r In tlte President.1
A piano selection was rendered
by Miss Censer , which was much
enjoyed. The institution then
held a business session and elected
officers as follows : Mr. D. R.
Crush , President ; Mr. ( .Jus Deck-
inger , Vice President : W. P.
Long , Secretary ; Committee on
resolutionsMessrs Hugh Prichard
Chris Wamsley and II. 1CLem -
mon. Mr. G. A. Abbott then
gave some reminisences of early
days in Richardson County. His
father went to California in M'J
leaving his wife a widow with a
very vigorous ten jear old boy on
her hands , who then began to
make his mark in the world meet
ing difficulties along lifcs path
way.some luduT.ou > , some serious ,
some pathetic and some sad , with
a determination to conquer and
succeed.
Mr John Lichty then read a
very interesting paper on "Man's
Uest Friend , " waiving theclaims
of the wife , which are indisput
able , man's best friend is the
Horse and by reason of his worth
and achievements is worthy of
man's best care and attention to
his comfort.
Mr R. 10. Grinstead at 2:30 : p.
m. spoke on the advantages of
having the bottom lands of the
Nemaha drained , giving examples
of what has been accomplished
in other states. Gumbo lands
when properly drained make the
> est alfalfa lands under the sun ,
ml drainage will add to the tax-
ble wealth of the country , many
housands of dollars.
At 3 o'clock John D. Xillcr
poke on Corn Improvement , giv-
ng force to his address by show-
ng examples of corn grown by
lis system-
The judges then made the fol-
owing awards on corn and fruit ,
ivhich completed the work.

The farm made cheese cxhib
iteel by John Kieschiclc was verj
fine and many expressed a desire
to sample it. The sugar beet !
exhibited by II. Halm also at
tracted much attention. These
useful articles are said to be fnu
feed for dairy cattle. The puzzle
of the show was the exhibit b\
John IleSse. It was called r
squash by one gentleman , am
"what is it" by manv others
while the tag said "Pomleros :

The committee on Resolutions
reported as follows :
Resolved , That the thanks of
this association is extended to
the county officers who turned
themselves out-of-doors to give
room to the visitors and exhibits ,
and we also appreciate the gen
erous help and encouragement
given to the institute by the busi
ness men of Falls City.
These resolutions were adopted
by unanimous vote.
The mission of the institute is
to educate the fanner to know ,
want and produce the best , and
it is clear that this is being ac
complished , as the quality of the
entries this year were better than
ever before , the attendance larger
and the interest more general.

Market Letter.

-M , I'.IOO. Tineattle supply today -
day is of the usual small Christ
mas proportions , iiOOO hendnQout ,
OIH > fourth the regulat Monday
supply. Trade last week wns
slow and draygy as most of the
killers were pretty well filled up ,
and presumed Unit little would be
needed till after New Years.
Prices declined 10 to 25 cents be
fore the elose of thu wf-ek , most
on heifers , although beef steers
showed a slight improvement Fri-
elny. Today the small supply wns
eagerly snapped up at unevenly
higher prices , some sales of steers
being called 25 to 40 cents above
last Weelnesday. The excellent
market today was entirely the re
sult of the limited supply , and
with ordinary Monday receipts
there would have hi HI no unusual
interest. Opinion is divided
about the probable I mid of tht
market immeeliately after tht
holidays , indications from fconu
localities pointing to a hoavj
movement to market la-eouul ol
the high price of liny , while ot
the other hand the demand fron
consuming centers will be greni
ns soon as the public appetite re
covers from its holiday indulgence
in poultry and game. Slacken
aucl feeelers keep in strong do
in and , everything cleared up close
last week , nnd prices firm today
A few beef steeirs sell nt $6.00 01
more , bulk , bulk of steers $1.50 te
$5.75 , cows $2.40 to1.25 , heifen
$11.25 to $5.00 , bulls $2.-10 tc
$4,00 , calves $ o.25 10 $7.00 , stock
ers and feeders $ .00 to S1.50
Hog prices mnke many chancei
but within n small radius. Rm
is moderate , considerably belov
this time a year ago. and then
seems no prospect that the supply
will get any nearer a normn
figure for while , Run is 4000 to
day , market 5 to 10 higher , noth
very good here , several loads a
the top price , $0.35 , bulk of sale *
$0.21 } . Some predictions of lowei
prices are heard , but they can al
ways be traced to interestec :
parties , while all the conditions
points the other way.
