The Point in Question THE KINDLY CRITIC Are you for Pinehot or the other side? tlo slow, now; take your time n answering. Remember how you lost out on Cook. The small man thinks he is being sat on or held baek. Forget it! Nothing ran hold a man baek but his own limitations.—Elbert Hubbard. The big dredge boat looked all powerful and able to combat even he elements, but a flood delayed its progress to considerable extent in November, and now Jack Frost has placed it out of commission altogeth er, for a time. But big projects move slowly. In time the big ditcli will tie completed, and the most ardent objectors will point to the same with / ride. It was ever thus. "What Sherman aaid of war also rpplies to a winter like the one we • re up against now—that is, when you consider the price of coal and • he amount necessary to keep the emperature at a comfortable point.” so remarked the man of modest 'alary, as he made part payment n his coal bill. “I've figured it ut that every time 1 put a hod of «at precious anthracite in my base ‘ urner, I’m dumping 25 cents into the thing—25 cents that I’ll never f ee again. Hut what is out' to do?’’ According to a statement made l»y 'ie of the contractors for the wood work on the new M. P. round house sere it. will take fully eight months a complete the same. However, ac ording to the informant, this work • ntails much that lias nothing to do with the round house proper. It - eras there are to be store-rooms, oil noms, and repair shops of various binds. The M. P. officials are not t. Iking much these days, but take the country over, they are inaugur ting a new order of things along their lines. Possibly the man who is proudest :■ his affiliation with an organiza ion is the Grand Army man. And » hy shouldn't he be? It does not fall to the lot of every man to be eligible to membership in that body. Money cannot purchase a member ship; and influence and commercial standing are of no avail—the mem bership was made up in ’61 to ’65, and the books closed True, one of he insignas of membership in ' hat body is s. sprinkling of gray in the hair, but a man who lived away Wick in those stirring times and help 'd to preserve order in the land and rr.afte history, counts his gray hairs! ;>• honorable 'Is this a porterhouse?" inquired patron at one of our restaurants re < ntly. Upon being assured that it was that particular cut of beef, he re Marked that porterhouse had assum < i new shape and texture, and as he hacked and sawed upon the steak he delivered a hot volley at trusts, t i»e party in power and butchers in -eneral. lie said he was a hold-up, a1 windle, and that the rich were grow-j g richer and the poor, poorer. "Why on't you eat rabbit?” inquired a hy under; "its cheap and as a rule1 t nder." 'Til do it hereafter," if 1 n procure the same;” was the nswer; “no more porterhouse for e, Me for tilt' rabbit, liver, tripe, nd bologna from now on. There is yin such thing as porterhouse nowa days." Site was pretty and was gowned with becoming taste, and her com i and carriage was perfect, , id one could hardly keep from ; king a second look at her, so like i dainty pieee of Dresden china she p-emed, as tin; floated—yes, she * *ate(l, rather Ilian walked up the street.; and sue was a stranger in f ir midst, which always adds some things to the charm of femininity—it u oases curiosity She might have passed for i princess who was t ist. passing through our beautiful Title city—bir alas, sin was no prin c ss It only took a minute to dispel • ■ glamour and properly classify and catalogue her She stopped in front of a millinery window on Stone street, and taking a good long look at a hat therein, »,is heard to articulate—“Gee whizz; a’nt it a corker?” It scorns she was from "over yonder” and had just “clriv in” to do a little shop ping 'No doubt the appetite has much to do with it, but its a certainty that the sausage one gets nowadays is not up to the Mandat'd of the sausage I usedt o get when I was a boy.” So r< marked a prominent business man of Falls City recently, and there was r< ill regret in his voice as be be amed the deterioration of that min 'd creation known as pork sausage. Continuing, he said: “some say that -' the sausage of today could Live voice do its feelings It would bellow as well as grunt. 1 don’t know what is wrong, but it’s not tlio same. I’ork sausage ought to bo made of pork, and pork only, and tho man who puts anything else into the same and sells it to me as pork sausage ought to be prosecuted. 1 don’t mind their tampering with the maple syrup, the buckwheat, the honey or the nutmeg, but the sau sage, to my way of thinking ought to bo left alone,-—it is one of the sacred things of my boyhood years." When strictly enforced the pure food laws are a blessing to mankind, and one wonders why such laws were not enacted years ago. When you stop to think of it it’s a grave offense for a man to unload one article upon you when you asked for another. You ask for a gallon of pure cider vinegar; you are handed a concoc tion that never saw an apple. You ask for a bottle of pure olive oil; you are handed a bottle of rancid grease that never saw an olive. You ask for pure pork sausage; you get beef neck in part and pork fat. And so general did tins custom prevail that it became a joke. Now there is a law that says all this must be stopped, and it is a blessed law, and it is up to the consumer to help en force that law if a dealer attempts to unload an adulterated product nit on you, roar, roar loud and long. The law is on youi side. JUST A POINTER ON POLITICS Practical Man Gives Advice to Friend About to Break Into the Stren uous Game. Three Kansas men were visiting re cently. One of them has held impor tant state offices. The other has as pirations to be elected to one of “the big places." They talked of the latter man's chances; his plans of conduct ing his campaign, and so on. “Let me tell you something,” said the man who has been "in.” “Let me tell you something. Don’t worry about the fellows who are against you. Under the primary system they are scattered far and wide. Don't get. any gray hairs over them. That won’t do you any good. To w in them over you will be wasting time and energy and breath, because the chances are you won't win them, anyway. If they are against you for personal reasons—that Is, if they are personal enemies, or op pose you for political causes—the chances are they will vote against you. Let ’em alone. But go where your friends are. (Jo where your votes are. Keep them sure. They’re yours. Keep ’em. They will make more votes for you if you keep ’em in line. That’s the game.” Is he right? Do you know?—Kansas City Journal. Notes of Women. A French book on the evolution of the Englishwoman finds the woman’s club—which in England is a real club, not a body which holds monthly meet i ings—an excellent institution for both married and single. For the married woman it is her “own place, where her husband cannot worry her,” while for the unmarried it is a place where she need never he dull and where she can properly entertain friends of both sexes.

Nature's Gift to the Eel. The eel has a singular formation by I which it is enabled to retain life longer than any other fish. This is a | bladder at the back of its upper fins, which it fills with water and is there ! by enabled to moisten its gills for a ! considerable time when out of water. The Real Question. Ruskin: The great question is not ! so much what money you have in your pocket as ‘what you will buy with it. The One Universal Tonic. Air is the only tonic of which it may be safely said that it disagiees with no one. January 7th. Dear Friend: Prunes, when you stew them are a mighty nice thing to begin breakfast with. Don't you think so? There is lots of difference in the kinds of prunes you get though. If you want to get real nice prunes you must go to a grocery that carries good prunes and other fruits.
