Hood after-dinner speaking has become a lost art and pour after-din ner speaking a public nuisance. Per haps its successor will lie paid vau deville; perhaps a new race of ora tors will grow up. Meanwhile, let the orator who survives remember that when a man lias rn joyed a good repast, while he lias no objection to being instructed and improved, lie wants primarily to he amused, and even that very briefly. Perhaps he should wish to hear an essay or an cient anecdotes, hut lie doesn't, and he who has naught but these to of fer had better during the coining ft ” season decline invitations to speak on such occasions, in the interest of suffering humanity.

Her eyes are glued in another direction.” “Yes,” spoke the dark villain, as lie arose from behind the imitation jocks, “her eyes are glued with Stick em’s celebrated horse glue. Free samples may be had in the lobby. Don't fail to ask for them when you pass out.” And lighting a fresh cigarette, the dark villain strode off to draw bis commission from the glue company, his white teeth shining like piano keys as he strode. SEA HARVEST RICH. This year’s large catch of all kinds of lisli, both on the Grand banks and along the Nova S-.-.tia coast, has tended to make the price of all lisli products much lower than in former years, according to a re port made bv (Ymsul General David F. Wilbur of Halifax. On account ot the dillieiilty in getting men the number of vessels sailing from ports along the south shore of Nova Seotiu has decreased in 1 lie last few years. HAD A KICK COMING.

BEST IRRIGATED LANDS IN THE WEST Thirty thousand acres fertile land in a splendid climate, watered by one of the biggest irrigation systems in the country. No Nebraska land of equal area w ill support more fami lies. Men from the (ireelcv district of tlie South Platte country say the advantages of the North Platte are superior and the prices are one fourth to one-third. Read again: think. Tuesday May 4 we begin the sale of the famous Tri Slate land at Scott's Bluff's. Neb , said to be the finest single body of irrigated land in the United States, embrac ing 20.000 acres, of which 10,000 acres will be sold immediately. Tiiis laud is owned by the Tri State Land Company, of which K. A. Cudahy is president, and is un der the Great Tri-State Canal, one of the largest systems of irri gation in the west, constructed at a cost of rUO UU11 '. Six four horse team-, 24 horses, can stand abreast across the bottom of the canal, which for the first few miles is ninety feet wide on the bottom. It is half again as large as the im mense government Pathfinder can al. Its beadgates, dams, intakes, wasteways and drops, are wholly constructed of steel and re inforced concrete. Its every part repre sents the highest achievement of modern engineering skill and work manship. TbeTri-State Land Co. has prac tically the first water right out of the North Platte river, and for an immense amount of water. When it is also remembered that the South Platte waters all the Colorado irrigated land at Port Collins, Greeley, Port Morgan, Brush, Sterling and Jnlesburg, and supplies only one-fourth as much water as the North Platte, the huf ticiency of water under the Tri State anal can never be question ed. It is th s fad that is bringing so many of the (Jrceley, Fort Col lins and Fort Morgan farmers to the S -otts Biuff country, who all declare its land and water equal to or superior to anything in Colora do. while t he prices are only a frac tion of the (.'-(dorado pri-es. This magnificent body of land at Scotts Bluff represents the best there is in irrigated land. The two big canals, the government and the Tri-State, represent a combined cost of nearly i?4,0o0,000, which is an evidence of the value of the lands. Speaking cf Irrigated Land, just remember: First—Irrigated land produces the maximum every year. Your Eastern Nebraska and Western Io wa land never produces the maxi mum, because even if you got just enough rain at the right time for one crop it would destroy part of another. Second On your eastern land you raise 40 bushels of corn on an average at 40 cents per bushel, at a cost of $-S, leaving you clear profit. We will take you to many men at Scotts Bluff who raised 250 to 400 bushels of potatoes per acre and sold them at 40 cents, this year considerably higher than that; 15 to 25 tons of beets nt $1.50 to $5.00; I to 5 tons of alfalfa at, $8.00 per ton; loll bushels of oats at 40crnts per bushel. Third ft is n singular thing that while the majority of fanners who buy irrigated laud know noth ing of irrigation, you can never in terest an irrigation farmer in any other kind of land He doesn’t have to understand all about irri gation to succeed. The ditch rider knows and the farmer soon knows. Fourth While your Eastern Nebraska land will go on up to $150 per acre, it may then stop, or it may go back to $50 or $75, like the same laud did in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York. But yout irrigated land, increasing its fertil ity and producing power each suc ceeding year, will do like the other irrigated land in this country and Europe goon up to $200, $300, $400 and $500 per acre, and will not simply “keep you,” but will make you rich. This laud lies so perfectly that a flat price cf $70 per acre has been fixed on all uncultivated land and $80 upon cultivated land; hence the first excursionists have the choice of the entire tract. Our first excursion on Tuesday, May 4. will he made especially attractive, and each agent is limited to two buyers. A regular excursion will be run every two weeks. One price to all—$70 per acre for uncultivated, $Ko for cultivated. First come, first served, no favorites. Irrigated Lands advance steadily to $300 and $500 per acre. They never go back. Think once more. TERMS One-Fifth Cash Balance in Nine Annual Payments commencing at the end of the second year six per cent, interest.
