THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JANUARY 17 , 1908
Now and Then
The way the advent of the Ncv
Year is celebrated in some of tin
large cities in Ihis'country is :
travesty on civilization and u dis
grace to the morality of the na
tion. Every table in the grea
New York cafes had been cngag
cd for New Years eve for month !
ahead. After the theaters wen
closed the crowds repaired t (
Shcrrvs , The Waldorf , and othei
great restaurants and provided tc
net drunk. It is estimated thai
$250,000 was spent for wine alone
Under the influence of liqtioi
young women with cigarettes ir
their mouths stood upon tablet
with skirts raised and tried tc
kick tlic chandeliers out of tin
ceilings. In an upstairs private
dining room some young sports ,
and old ones too , had a theatrical
entertainment which consisted of
oriental dancers in what Trilby
called "the altogether. " The
vulgar indcccnies of such perform
ances is disgusting. The idle
rich , or at least some ol themarc
about as near beasts as any specie
of man the world knows.
The lateJ. Steling Morton said
years ago that if some chemist
would compound a specific for
hog cholera h would pay every
farm debt in the state within ten
years. This statement is one
that at first seems broad but we
believe it to be a true one. Thous
ands of hogs have died in Rich
ardson county alone wiUiin the
last year. We know of one farm
er who lost nearly 1000 in sis
weeks. Nothing that he could dc
seemed to arrest the disease.
Many ho s are lost through in
judicious feeding , and many more
because they are not given propel
care in the way of dr } ' warm
quarters. We have heard farnv
ers boast that their hogs nevei
get the cholera , as though thej
had some patent on good con
and proper feeding. No farmei
is immune from this dread calam
ity though the danger can be
minimised bv proper care am
feeding.
Gee , don't some of the swell :
back cast spread it on ! A Philndcl
phia man with more money thai
sense gave a party for an 18 yeai
old daughter last week that cos
$100,000. If a Richardson Coun
ty man is very fortunate hi
might earn $5,000 a year. This
Philadelphia father spent in om
night what it would take tlu
$5,000 man twenty years to earn
Then , what kind of training ii
this spend thrift giving h i i
daughter. What will she know
of the real and ending values o
life ? What kind of a wife wil
she make ? Some body ought t <
take this Philadelphia father ou
in the back yard for a heart U
heart talk. No wonder that i
rich New Yorker said on Ui
death bed a few years ago , "Oh ,
that my son could have the ad
vantages of the poor. "

Taft and Labor
About fourteen years ago Secretary
rotary Taft , then a district federo
judge in Ohio , sent n labor leade
to jail for violating an injunction
The injunction w a s director
against interference with the em
ploycB of a railroad then in chargi
of the federal government thru i
receivership. II i B action ha
never boon criticised by unbiiiHw
authority , and most of the la DO
men involved admitted its jiiHlici
after their feeling had calmed
Yet from that da } ' to this a runio
has floated over the land 'tha
Taft is an enemy to labor.
In all his oilieial condiut in tin
ensuing years his fairness ti
labor , union and non-union labo
alike , has not been questioned b ;
disinterested persons. Yet tha
rumor lives , and the federation o
labor in Now England states thi
week denounces Taft as an enem ;
of labor.
In answer to questions propound
ed by the secretary of the Ohi (
federation of labor Mr. Taft ap
proves of statutes defining tin
rights of labor in controversial
with their employers , likewise tin
form of injunctions issued in labo
disputes. H o favors a statuti
prohibiting restraining orders 01
the evidence of only one side. Hi
has no objection to giving persoin
charged with contempt the righ
of trial before some other judgi
than the one making the charge
It is hard to understand how tha
ancient rumor con keep afloat ii
face of this. If it is heard fron
again it is a safe guess that th
propelling po\vt r is a friend neither
or of labor nor of Tuft. Lineoli

LOOKS AND SOUND.
A teacher in one of the lower
qrndes of the public schools gave a
talk to her pupils the other day
about proverbs. After citing several
proverbs , such ns the one about the
early bird and others , she told the
pupils flint they wore each to write
onio old proverb and bring it to
school next day.
The next day when the teacher
took up the proverb proposition
again , one little girl handed in this :
' 'Forrick's change is no robbery. "
"Did you copy that from n book or
from n phonograph ? " asked the
teacher. Cleveland Plain Denier.
VERY SENSITIVE.
"Yes , " laughed the jolly drum

"Examinations for admission to

attorney of Xc\v Orleans , "are , of
course , cnsy or severe , according to
the humor of the examiner. I heard
once of a judge in a certain district
of Florida , famous for its bad roads
nnd numerous creeks nnd rivers ,
who , when n young man presented
himself for examination , looked the
applicant over nnd then inquired ,
with great gravity :
" 'C'nn you ride1

BAROMETER COMES IN HAND\
English Schoolboys Find Profit am
Pleasure In Use of Forbidden
Instrument.
Every English schoolboy who cm
afford it hns n barometer thnt hi
keeps hidden under his bed or in hii
trunk , for in all English school
barometers are strictly forbidden.
Why , on the one hand , slioulc
they be forbidden ? Why , on tin
other linnd , should they be desired !
The answer is amusing.
Through the autumn and winte :
the English schoolboy plays footbnl
every afternoon , weather permitting
Football , like Latin , is compulsory
lie must play two hours each clen ;
day.These
These two hours are taken off hi
recitations. They make his schoo
tnsks two hours lighter. Hence , whei
ho knows beforehand that the ncx
dny will be clear , ho mny spare him
self two hours of useless study tin
night before. His barometer poin
ing to "Fine" saves him a lot o
toil.
But when the instrument point
fo "Chnngc" then the schoolbo ;
knows thnt there will bo no footbnl
on the morrow , nnd ho shirks non
of.his appointed tnsks.
) Thus n boy with n barometer hn
n big advantage. Ho can even tnk <
, ninny a long evening's lonf , nnd n
" the snmo time ho can always bo wel
up in his studies. He often sell
weather predictions nt a penn ;
apiece.
WISDOM OF EXPERIENCE.

stand it is a very nice plncc. "
"What snlnry do fhoy offer ? " quc
ricd his practical bettor half.
"One thousand dollars a yeni
free rent nnd two donation pnrtie
one in the spring and one in th
fall , " replied the good mnn. "Whn
do you think of it , my dear ? "
"I think , " answered his wif (
"that you had bettor write nnd ns'
if they would bo willing to make th
snlnry $800 n year and cut out th
donation parties. "
EVIDENCE OF WEALTH.
"You remember thnt artist mis
bnnd of yours ? " asked the red
cheeked mnn of the little grass wid
ow.
Her eyes took a fnr-nwny look nn
then cnme back again.
"T believe , " she snid , "that I hav
n faint recollection of him. Why ?
"He's making 11101103' , " said th
red-checked man.
"No ! " exclaimed the little grns
widow. "Did you ace it in his hand ?
"Nop , " snid the red-checked man
"but 1 mot him Inst night in n caf
nnd ho bought me n drink. "
STRIPPED CLEAN.
The hostile cruisers were nnchorc

"Whnt caused the sudden depart

"Torpedo or mines ? "

"But they were not afraid of on

"No ; they thought we were goin

stripping. "
