"LIVABLE. "
.An Old Fashioned Word
What It la Intended To.
"Yes , " suid Mrs. Farren , decidedly ,
"Milly Morris is a nice girl clear
through , and if anybody ought to get
-along easy with a tryin * mother-in-law ,
she ought. A more livable person I
never knew. "
"Livable ? " repeated her listener.
"Livable ? That must be a loeal word.
I don't think I ever heard it before. "
"it may be local , " rejoined Mrs. Far-
rcn , a trilie loftily , "and it may be bad ,
and it may be good ; but anyway , it's
just what I mean. Milly's livable. She's
been brought up in a big family , and
she's had to be , if she meant to be com
fortable herself and let other folks be
comfortable , too. There were more liv
able folks when 1 was a girl than there
-lire now , and I think the big families
had a good deal to do with it , though
of course not everything.
"There were plenty of people then
who never got ( heir corners worn d.nvn.
no matter how many brothers and sis
ters they had ; but even when they
rasped , those days , they got along to
gether after a fashion. Nowadays , land !
Sometimes it stumps me fair and
square why the nice people I know in
nice families can't seem to stand each
other's little wa.\s.
"Oh , I don't say it isn't so ; when the
doctors say they can't and it generally
ends in doctors why , I suppose they
truly can't. It's nerves , and nobody un
derstands nerves unless the doctors ,
si ml I'm a long way from being sure
that they do. lint just you count up
some time the families where there's
.always one membei mysteriously off
A'isiihig. and then the number of folks
yuu know that separate when they'd
jwturally stay together , if only they
could hit it off lone sisters and only-
surviving bachelor brothers , and moth
ers and only daughters , and all sorts of
family lemnants that ought to be each
other's best comfort. I'.ut as soon as
they try living together , one of 'em gets
nervous prostration , or lias hysteric
spells , or is ordered off quick to travel
somewhere where the climate doesn't
agree with the other one. They're fond
enough of each other , generally , and
they aren't generally ugly-tempered ;
they just aren't livable.
"It can't bo endured , always , and it
can't be cured , sometimes ; but I'm linn
in believing it could be prevented most
limes. If , when folks first began tc
, harden in their own little crankttms ,
.JUKI fret over the cranks of the folks
they care most for , they'd stop and
think where they were getting to ; why ,
nine times out of ten they'd pull up in
time , and get their nerves and feelings
iind foolish frettings tight in hand be
fore they run away with 'em !
"Yes , that's what I surely do believe.
iAud outside the great , big , deep foun-
pation virtues , if I had a daughter , the
little virtue if it is a little virtue I'd
i-ather have her have than any other
* ould be just that being livable. It's
tin all-round , life-long blessing to whoin-
feoever it concerns. "
"It may be good or it may be bad. or
It may be local , " aseuted the listener ,
thoughtfully , "but whatever it is as a
word , livable is a good thing to be. I'll
DWU that. "

The people of Formosa have just be
come up-to-date enough to have a rail
road track of their own , and a detailed
report of its construction has been for
warded to the stockholders , many of
i whom are Frenchmen and Englishmen.
iV The rails are English ; the locomotives
V are English and American ; the bridge
work and girders are American , and
the rolling stock is native built on
American trucks. The labor employed
was Forinosan and Japanese , but the
work was done under the direction of
French , English and American en
gineers. The rate of wages paid per
day to the machinists and laborers fur
nish an interesting contrast between
the value put upon work In the Occi

Forinosan , and the day was of ten

Fremont , Neb , . Jan. l.'J. History
seems about to repeat itself in Dodge
Bounty. Farmers are beginning to
hum corn for fuel as they did in the
darly nineties when it was selling for
ten cents a bushel and the crop was
overwhelmingly large. Now it is
riot so much the fact that corn is
low in price but that fuel is high
tirid in some cases practically impos
sible to get that acjunts lor the use
uf corn as a heat producer. Only
the poorest part of the crop is being
devoted to that purpose. Part of the
corn filled late and was caugbt by the
frost and it is this which is being
utilized to supply the place of fuel.
Coal is very hard to get in Fre
mont. Citizens are going from one
dealer to another endeavoring to se-
ivire it but are met everywhere with
/lie response that more orders are al
ready on ha : ci than can be tilied.
The de.lers have no coal in stock
atiri rely only on what they have
ordered. The situation is as acute
us it could be without entailing gen
eral suffering. A local resident tried
in vain today to get some nut so'ft
coal and finally bought half a ton of
anthracite for 87.50. It is actually
easier to get the anthracite product
than the bituminous article at pres
ent.
Poorer people have been in great
need of fuel of any kind during the
zero weather. Children have been
seen going along the railroad tracks
picking up pieces of noal or out in
the timber across the river gathering
branches to bring home. Some who
are in good circumstances will have
to resort to burning wood if the pres
ent conditions continue much longer.
Lawyer Found Dead
Omaha , Neb. , Jan. 13. W. D.
Beckett a well known lawyer was
found frozen dead Monday at noon.
His boy was lying two miles west of
Benson near the Little Papio creek.
Henry Kapp. a milkman , found it
and reported to the coroner. As the
milkman reported that the body wns
net there when he passed early in the
m Tning life had evidently not been
sxtinct many hours. The limbs were
frozen stiff but tbe body was no < - yet
rigid. Mr. Beckett was forty-four
years of age. He leaves a wife and
four children , two of the children by
a former wife. He was a prominent
attorney for many years , but during
the past year has been drinking
heavily. His wife recently s red for
a divorce. The last time Beckett was '
seeo as at 1:30 Sunday morning when
his nephew. Mr. Woodrough , talked
to him. The nephew supposed he
was then on his way to his room at
the Her Grand hotel Instead of go
ing there he evidently started into
the country toward Benson. During1
his professional career in Omaha'
Beckett was a member of several firms
and had appeared as counsel in some
of the most important suits filed in
the courts. At one time he was the
law partner of Judge K. C. Read.

TAFT WILL REMAIN.
Stays la Phlllcpines for Indefinite Period-
Wrapped Up In His Work
Washintgon , Jan. 14. After ma
ture consideration it has been decid
ed that Judge Taft shall remain in
tbe Philippines as civil governor
The decision was reached only after
the president had discussed tbe Phil
ippine question thoroughly with Sec
retary Hoot and the other members
of.the cabinet , and with Vice Gov
ernor Luke E. Wright , who has been
in this country for two months.
For several weeks it has been re
garded as settled that Gov rnor Taft
would return to this countryperhaps
in a few months , to become a justice
of the United States supreme court.
President Roosevelt indicated to
Governor Taft in a letter dispatched
to the Philippines more than a month
ago that he could have the apppoint-
ment to the supreme bench if he de
sired it.
It was the president's purpose to
name General Wright as civil gover
nor of the Philippines.
As soon as it was learned in the
Philippines that Governor Taft was
likely to leave the islands cabled pro
tests began to pour in on the presi
dent from prominent Fillipinos.
Even yesterday the president was in
receipt of a rabelgram from some of
the mc'St important interests in tLe
Philippines urging the ictention of
Governor Taft as civil governor. The
protests receive' ! in no manner re
flected on Vice Governor Wright , for
whom the people of Manila and ot
the isbnds generallyhave the highest
rcg.'ird. but it was pointed out to the
president that Governor Taft was
ideally equipped for the position cf
governorand that any change at this
time would be disastrous to the ar
chipelago. It was maintained that
Govrenor Talt's relinquishinent of
nis post would retard the develope-
ment of the islanfis fully five year * .
Governor Tai't is known , as one
high otlicial expressed it , "to be
thun.ugbly wrapped up in his work
in the Philippines. " Jlis mbiciori
has been t ' "round out his career as
a justice of the United States su
prerae court : but he has become im
bued so entirely with the spiiit of
the fireat work to ba accomplished ir
the Philippines and so perfectly in
sympathy with 'he ideals of the best
classes of tbe inhabitants , that he
hesita ed to relinquish his post at
this time , even to accept the dis in
guishnd honor the president offered
to confer on him. Tnday in response
to the president's letter offering to
him the supreme justiceship , a cable
gram was received from him , sug
gesting with a sincere appreciation
of the tender made to him by tbe
president , that it might be better
for him , in view of all the circum
stances , to remain where he was.
Alrer this it was announced unotli-
cialh' , but entirely authoritivcly ,
that Governor Taft would remain in
definitely a civil governor of the
Philippines.
Languish in Mexican Jail.
Kansas City , Mo. , Jan. 14. Form
al recognition of tbe oft repeated
charge that railroad employes who
are Americans are discriminated
against under the criminal laws of
Mexico , and that many of them aie
now languishing in Mexican prisons
without having been tried.was given
today by division No. 55 of the order
of railrmd conductors , at a rnee.ting
held in this city.
Division No. 55 by vote appointed
its presiding oflicer , W. H. Hollis.as
its representative to start a national
movement for a searching inquiry
into the matter.
The movement also contemplates
that three other great orders of
'
American railway employes , the en-
gineers , trainmen and firemen , will
become interested ; n the invesLig -
tions. The four orders have GOO,0(0' (
members.
The action was tbe result of an ag
itation started by Harry H. Adams , :
formerly a locomotive engineer in
Mexico. While employed on a Mexi
can railroad on May 2 , 1901 , Adau-s
says that his engine and seven cars
were wrecked and th.it he was abso
lutely without fault in causing the
wreck. His left leg was crushed and
later had to be ampuated.
Adams says that , even before he re-
jeived medical attention he was'
taken before a magistrate.questicned
ind then thrown into prison where
3e remained a month.
Other Americans are in Mexican
srisons , he says , whose trains were
n wrecks through no fault of the
srisouers , and some of them have
Deen in prison seven or eight years
Adams , while in prison met some
) f these men , who begged him to ap-
jeal to some of the railroad men in
America to interest themselves in
; heir cases.

London , Jan. 17. Telegrams from
Stockholm confirm tho dstressing { ac-i
ounts of famine in r orthern Sweden ,
as given in these dispatches.
About 30,000 people are affected by
this famine , which extends from tho
sixty-first to the sixty-seventh degree
n irth latitude and from the Gulf of
Bothria and the Russian border into
the interior.
The starving people are eating"
bark , which is dried , ground Into >
p nvder. mixed With stewed Iceland" *
moss and made into a kind of famine
bread.
Coincident with the failure of tho
crop is the extreme scarcity of fish.
The tisuerujcn return from their ex
peditions empty handed. Even
ptiUiirgin. usually fcund in great/
numbers in the stricken district ,
h.ive almost completely disappeared.
It is estimated that the exnendituro
' .f about $ (5,300,000 ( will be necessary
to save the population from decima
tion.
tion.Thus
Thus far about $200,000 has been
subscribed , of which sum over S12.-

States. Tnis anrjiint does nor. in-
I'iuue the money necessary to savjt
the breed of cattle which alone can
.ive through an Arctic winter , or
.supply seed for ihe spiing sowing.
The peasants are making ureafi
sarnlices to prevent the eytermina
tion-of their l.ardy northern cattle.-
In previous times of scarcity g'lod ,
fodder was obtained by mixing rein
deer moss and aspen bark , .
Now this is not available and fine
ly chopped twijs of birch.willow and ,
ash are substituted. The mixture is- ,
boile 1 and'ted to the cattle warmbut ;
i ; is found that the milk of cattlej
t'.ius led caused typhoid fever. Thidi
and other dissases are certain to
spread unless relief is hastened The
situation threatens a repetition of the
terrible famine of 18G7 , when thous-i
ands died of starvation and typhoid. ,
