The Point in Question
THE KINDLY CRITIC
The opening day of the public
schools (Monday) was rainy and
disagreeable, but it takes more than
a September downpour to dampen
the ardor of the aveTage boy or girl
the first day of school; there is a
prevailing enthusiasm upon that day
among the young seekers after know
ledge that moisture cannot quench,
so with umbrellas, rain coats, cloaks
and nimble feet the coming genera
tion hurried along our streets in
answer to the call of the "first bell,"
and in race track parlance, one could
say, "they're off, all in a hunch,
and running easy.” Among them
might he a future president of the
United States—you can't tell. There
might hi' a /Took or a Wright or a
llonus Wagner—tlo one knows. Out
of that bunch of laughing girls there
might emerge a Frances Willard, a
Melba, an Ida M. Tarbell or a George
Eliott. You never can tell. Nebras
ka can produce almost anything, front
alfalfa to presidents, from rich cream
to consorts of rulers of the land.
"Music hath charms to soot lie the
savage breast.” That may be true.
The savage breast might possibly be
soothed with the inharmonious clang
of brass and cymbals, but to the ear
attuned to sweet sounds this same
discordant disturbance might cause
a nervous collapse. This fact is il
lustrated in a graphophone. The
proud possessor of one of those tor
turous boxes winds the same up and
places his records therein without a
thought of the feeling of his neigh
bors. From Ids vantage ground his
"savage breast” is soothed, but
how about the fellow outside of the
zone of symphony and melody? The
savage breast swells with indignation
as the strains of "In the Good Old
Summer Time,” or "Harrigan, That's
Me," floats out upon the night air
to disturb the more melodious bark
of tile dog or the croak of tin1 tree
frog. t
"My wife was what you would call
slightly 'riled' Sunday,” remarked a
business man, anif he seemed to en
joy telling the joke, tut he called it.
"You see, the idea or the plan of this
day and age is exclusiveness in wom
en’s apparel; that is, to illustrate,
when a merchant selects (Tis fall
stock of women’s suits, he selects
no two alike—each and every pur
chaser has a monopoly in a color
or design, and enjoys this distinct
ion. My wife bought a suit last
week, and if I do say it, she looked
like a queen to me, after we got it
buttoned and geared, and when she
asked me to go to morning service 1
acquiesed gracefully;and I didn't look
so rotten bad myself after a little
cuffing and benzine work. Well,
sir. we hadn't been in church long
before my wife showed signs of un
easiness and nervousness, and I was
really glad when the service was
over. 'Look at that, said my wife,
nodding towards a woman she has
always disliked. And then I under
stood. A strange thing had happened
—two suits exactly alike had been
brought to town and disposed of. A
strange fatality. At first my wife
said she would never wear her
suit again, but when I pointed out
how handsome she looked in it, site
consented to wear it, after altering it
to some extent by changing the color
of the buttons.”

have to stand for a “dippy” strain of
talk that takes in aches, pains, sym
ptoms and diet. You breakfast food
enthusiast is ever a man of aches
and pains and a bad complexion.

food, and he always wants every-!
body else to try it. Jie tells you of
the evil effects of ham and eggs, pan
cakes, and all the good things to eat,
and invariably intejects into his con
versation an appendicitis scare, and
tells you how a few packages of Pigo
Digesto, (a nose bag witli every doz
en packages), made a new man of
him and brought the glow of health
back to his cheeks. Your breakfast
food man always tells you, gleefully,
that water in which fresh cucum
bers have been soaked, will, if fed
to a rabbit, kill him in four minutes,
lie will tell you that cancer lurks in
tomatoes, that potatoes should be
left alone and that you are courting
death if you .swallow a grape sped,
as the vermiform appendix lays with
gaping jaws awaiting grape seeds,
and that the “saw-bones” will get you
if you don’t look out. Breakfast
food enthusiasts should be seregated
in dining rooms, and not allowed to
tell their troubles or dilate upon
some new chaff they are browsing
upon.
It doesn’t make any difference bow
many times you “went through” frac
tions as a student at school, or
whether you graduated or not, the
question is, do you really understand.
fractions? Can you solve any prol>
lent in fractions with accuracy unci
ease? Now, don't prevaricate, don't
mumble, don't "fudge," and tel! of
having studied algebra and plane
geometry— the question is, how are
you NOW In fractions? A man in
Falls City recently had what would
be called a simple problem In frac
tious all problems in fractions arc
simple, you know to contend with.
He failed to solve the same, and
went from door to door among the
business men seeking a solution, but
failed to get the same, lie says
the attempt of some of Falls City's
business men to help him were piti
ful, and that finally a lady clerk in
one of our dry goods store* sel him
aright, but that beads of perspiration
stood out upon her forehead before
she dared say, "its simple." And
Ibis same young lady wanted to teach
school in this county once. Think
of it! Now on tIm square, do YOU
understand fractions, or have you
been "four-flushing" till these years?
To have lived iu the year 1 bOb
is a blessed privilege. Great things
have been accomplished, great, vic
tories won. Previous records for
crossing the Atlantic have been
smashed, the problem of flying
through space practically solved, ami
the North pole discovered. And then,
too, the devious windings of the
treacherous Neinalm, ere another
fall is ushered in, will have been
eradicated and the waters therein
made to run in a straight, rational
course, reclaiming thereby thousands
of acres of land tlie soil of which is
"as rich as cream."
