Mrs. J. M. Ralya and son
Claude were in this city yester
day. Mrs. Ralya informs us that
school closed in the Snake river
district last Friday and Sunday a
picnic was held on the Niobrara
river which was attended by about
45 persons. Games and other
amusements were indulged in.
Everybody brought their dinners
and a swell time was enjoyed by
all. Roscoe Ward was the teach
er in this district and gave general
satisfaction.
Last Saturday morning the edi
tor of this paper spoke pleasantly
to Wm. Katzenbach in passing
along the sidewalk westward from
the printing office while the latter
was crossing the street , going from
the lots west of the piintingoffice ,
where he had been at work for
George Hornby , toward the store
on the north side of the street. In
stead of replying in the same man
ner and which had been customary
previously since our acquaintance ,
he answered excitedly that if we
had anything to say to him to
come out in the street and say it ,
and that he had been slurred or
insulted ever since he had been in
the town , and that I need not throw
any slurs at him. He would settle
with me right there. We answer
ed that we had not slurred him ,
and could not believe there was
any cause for his apparent anger
and excitement. Daring this time
lie had been taking off his coat
and made a rush at us on i\\G sidewalk - *
walk and for the next few minutes
we were engaged in defending
ourself against his repeited at
tacks , in which we sought not to
injure him , though we could have
jumped onto him while he was
down soon after the beginning of
the encounter , had we the desire
to do so. But he , unmindful of
this courtesy , as also past 'friend
ship , made repeated attacks after
ward , which availed him little , .
when finally Geo. Hornby came '
between us and Katzenbach muttered - i
tered something about being , in
sulted and that he was no hypo
crite , "perhaps with the thought of
justification.
He plead guilty to a charge of
assault in Judge Maxwell's court
and paid a fine of § 5.00 and costs.
We had hoped for an explana
tion but it seems that there is none.
He was probably brooding over i
some other troubles in his mind
which irritated him beyond con
trol.

This man during the past winter

evening previous , t > ld the lady ,
the wife of a member of the school'
jboaid , that her husband , or the '

effect. He. also berated about an
article which he had written for

which we did not see fit to publish.

According to immemorial usage , . Eu
ropenn servants are entitled to tips as
an assured part of their income. A
the hotels the theory is that the laud
lord furnishes a guest a private roon
and the use of the public rooms , heal
and light , food and dishes , but not
menial service. For convenience he
keeps at hand a corps of servants who
vdll respond to the guest's summons ,
but at his expense. In old times trav
elers were attended by their own son
ants to wait on them. The modem
custom echoes the ancient. The trav
eler no longer carries with him a ret
inue of servants , because he can hire
temporarily those of the landlord. The
customary fees are the payment. To
avoid feeing is really to cheat the serv
ants , who need all they can get , heav
en knows. A chambermaid at the b.esl
hotels receivcs as wages 01113- about § 2
a month. Tipping servants in America
is a regrettable imitation of the Euro
pean custom without its resting on the
reasonable basis of the foreign institu
tions.--Travel Magazine.
Told Who He V/as.
The' game warden of Colorado was
walking out in the mountains on one
occasion when he met a hunter with
his gun. The official suggested that
that ought to be a good country for
hunting. "It certainly is , " said th
hunter proudly. ' * ! killed one of the
finest bucks yesterday I ever saw , and
he weighed over two hundred. " It was
the season when deer may not be shot
without subjecting the hunter to a
heavy fine. "Well , that is a fine one , "
said the warden , "and do you know
who you arc talking toV" Being assur
cd that he did not , the official said.
" \Yhy , I am the chief game warden of
Colorado. " The hunter was only taken
aback for a moment , when he asked.
"And do you know who you are talk
ing to ? " The warden didn't know.
"Well , sir , " said the hunter , appar
ently much relieved , "you are talking
to the biggest liar in the whole state
of Colorado. " Kansas City Star.
The Primitive Violin.
In its primitive form the violin was
a direct development of the lyre and
monochord the strisg- ; from the for
mer and the elongated box , with its
sound holes , finger board and movable
bridge , from the latter. The history
of the violin began with the invention
of the bow some time before the thir
teenth century , when the voile , or vielle ,
used by the troubadours , made its ap
pearance. This instrument underwent
many changes until the middle of the
sixteenth century , when the true violin
model appeared. The primitive violin
had little or no contour. It was not
' n * : ! the thirteenth century that the
vielle was scocped out at the waist.
The corner blocks were added in the
fifteenth century and are attributed
to Germany. For nearly a century
the sound holes were shifted all over
the instrument" before they were cut
in their proper place and the bridge
fixed between them. Circle Magazine.
Two of a Kind.
A revival meeting was In progress ,
and Sister Jones was called upon for
testimony. Being meek and humble ,
she said : "I do not feel as though I
should stand here and give testimony.
I have been a transgressor for a good
many years and have only recently
reen the light I believe that my place
is in a dark dorner , behind the door. "
Brother Smith was next called upon
for his testimony and , following the
example set by Sister Jones , said : "I ,
too , have been a sinner for more than
forty years , and I do not think it would
be fitting for me to stand before this
assembly as a model. I think cay place
ia behind the door , in a dark corner ,
with Sister Jones. " And he wondered
why the meeting was convulsed with
the laughter of those who came to
pray.
Don't Whisk Your Hat.
Never use a whisk broom to clean a
hat , either stiff or soft , particularly
a soft hat , as it gradually removes the
Cue surface originally on the hat. The
worst effect , however , is the wearing
away of the band and binding by such
rough usage. The effect is more
quickly shown on the best grades of
bands and binding. A fine hair brush ,
one of curved shape , made especially
to use under the curl of the hat , is
good. Best of all , however , is a thick
piece of woolen cloth. Such pieces are
now made In the form of pads , with
ti strap across the back , so that they
can be held securely in the hand.

U. 8. TO PLANT 500,000
PINE TREES IN NEBRASKA
Anyone who has traveled over
the pine-forested hills of Michigan
and then journeys extensively
through the sand hill rdgion of
Western Nebraska cannot fail to
be impressed with the possibilities
of pine tree-culture in this state.
When the wanderer finds far out
on the sandy divides between the
Snake and the Middle Loup the
charred stumps of great pine trees ,
where now no pine forests are in
; he vicinity , he is puzzled to un
derstand how these forests dis
appeared. Early elk hunters in
this region were often surprised-
Dy stumbling upon the stumps of
these dead sandhill forests. Did
these pine-trees grow there during
eng cycles of wet years which
sept the fires from destroying
them ? Who knows. But the very
abundant growth of young pine
) ack from the ravines of the Nio-
) rara river , wherever fires are
icpt out , adds to the hope inspired
by the planting of 500,000 young
pine trees 6his month by the Unit
ed States government on its forest
reserve in the Dismal river reg-
on. State Journal , April 22.
L M. Jones came down from
lis ranch near Crookston last Sat
urday and visited with friends
around town. He has his garden
and potatoes planted and has put
out an orchard of apple , cherry ,
pear and Russian Mulberry trees
and some grapes. He is also get
ting ready to sow some alfalfa and
and brome grass. Other Kinkaid
homesteaders might find this a
good assortment to begin farm
cultivation , which we think is a
good way to start a home.
