The Man Who Doesn't Adrertise.
Breathes there a man with soul so dead
That to himself he hath not said ,
"My trade of late is Kelt Ing bad ,
I'll uy another ten-Inch ad. "
If such there be , go mark him well ,
For him no bank account shall sweil-
Noangel watch the golden stair
To welcome home a millionaire.
To such a man the noisy din
Of traffic may not enter in.
For bargain hunters by the score
Shall pass nor heed his dingy.door ;
For tho' his sign la on the wall
And ob some barnyard gate a scrawl.
No people who have cash and sense ,
Go praneine around to read the fence.
The man who never asks for tiade
By local line or ad displayed
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him pain ;
Tread lightly , friends , let no rude sound
Disturb bis solitude profound.
Here let him live In calm repose
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies , go plant him deep
That naught may break his dreamless
sleep.
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well ,
And that the world may know its loss
Place on his grave a wreath of moss
And the utone above , "Hen lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise.

A foil fledged sensation , in which a
Stuart character is star actress , has
burst upon the public. The woman
has already figured in a half-dozen mar
riage scrapes and has now put the cap
sheaf on her notorious career. In com o >
pany with an accomplice named Mus- ? <
telt from Bassett , she succeeded in
hoodwinking an old soft-hood named- pfl
most unfitly John Q. Adams , a wid ti
ower 65 years of age. Adams , on his tiPJ
way to Sioux City , was introduced by PJ
Musfelt to a wealthy , middle-aged
woman from Wyoming , the owner of a n
big sheep ranch. The widow's smiles
won the widower and he proposed.
The widow , as an act of good faith , w
asked that $800 be given her a guar BE
anty of cupid. Adams paid the mon
so
ey and deeded her his home. When soL
the wedding bell tinkled , the bride was L
nowhere to" be found. Nor was the ca
-widow's sheep-ranch nor Musfelt.
Adums had to borrow money to return
to Bassett. Stuart Ledger.

Western fl > l r * k M y Be
come a Forest.
'It is a positive fact that timber may
be made to grow pn the sand hills of
Western Nebraska and that the con-
r
ditions are favorable for converting the
great tract of arid lands into an im
mense forest. The most tnat is need
ed at this time to accomplish this end
is the co-operation oj the senators from
this state and the support of the peo
ple. "
Thus spoke Giffore Pinchot , chief of
the bureau of forertry of the agricul
tural department of the United States
and W. L. Hall , expert superintendent
of the tree planting division of the
same department , both of whom are in
the citj , registered at the Millard.
Messers Pinchot and Hall called upon
'Senator Millard today and were assur
ed by him that he will do all in his
power to induce the government to
take hold of tree planting in Western
Nebraska and push the work. It is
conceded that in order to carry the
work to the desired end money must
be had. So thoroughly is the senator
convinced that the scheme is feasible
that at the next session of congress , he
will labor to secure an appropiation ,
Mr. Pinchot is here from Washing
ton , merely to consult with Mr. Hall
and secure facts upon which to base his
report.
Speaking of the work Mr. Hall said :
"Ten years ago we planted pines in
the sand hills in the extreme south
west portions of Holt county , They
have grown rapidly and are now from
fifteen te eighteen feethigh and look
as healthy and thrifty as if grown in
their native forest. The dry weather
does not hurt them. In fact their roots
seek and find moisture. At any pa ce
in the sand hills , if you dig down two
feet you will find moisture. The roots
of the pine find this moisture and then
the growth is rapid. We have planted
in the valleys and upon the highest hills
and the trees seem to do as well in one
place as in the other. I am thorough
ly convinced that the entire sand hill
country can be converted into a great
pine forest. This having been done
there will be no difficulty in having it
set aside as a forest reserve and in
time i t will be of incalculable value to
the northwest.
"Out in the sand hills there are thou
sands of acres of land that are worth
less at this time , but the entire tract
can be made valuable if the plan , is
pushed along. There is no difficulty in
the . The 'bull'
getting pine. pine along
the Long Pine river and in the Black
Hills is well adapted to this growing
and it 'can be shipped in at little ex
pense. \
"For several months I have been up
in that country studying the conditions
and am firmly convinced that the tree
planting has passed far beyond the ex
perimental stage. We have a field
party of six experts constantly working
up in that country and they are all of
the opinion that the sand hills comprise
an ideal tract for a pine forest. "
Not only does Mr. Hall make the
statements attributed to him , but he
brings with him numerous photographs
showing the pine groves and thickets
that ! have been planted. Those pic f
tures indicate that the trees are healthy
ind have made rapid growth. World
