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

work on the new M. P. round house

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

'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.”

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.

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. Your friend,
Jacob.
