The editor attended the meeting of the democratic press association at Lincoln last \veek and Tuesday evening dined with W. J. Bryan at the Lindell hotel. The banquet was a six course dinner and the good things were numerous. Speeches and toasts interspersed the banquet and a two hours visit with Mr. Bryan made us all feel good. Mr. Bryan is a royal en tertainer and stayed with his guests until they departed. The following day Mr. Bryan was up early and had breakfast at. the Lindell at 7:30 : and we found him busy in his ollice later when we called there with some of the brother editors. Through cour tesy we did not disturb him for we knew that there were many things for him to do. Ghas. W. Bryan , a brother , showed us around the oScc. We visited the girls , folding and wrapping pa pers , and with J. K. Ferris who formerly published this par er. We also visited the able editor. R. L. Metcalfe. W. M. Man pin was not in at the time of our visit and we wondered whether he got too much "baptist gravy" or lost too much sleep the evening pre vious. Geo. Miles was there a.id returned with us as far as O'Xeiii whore he had just won his suit against the county for § ± ,200 for publishing the scavenger tax li&t two years ago. We saw 0. J. Bowlby , editor of the Crete Demo crat , who read a paper at the meeting. Cliff Frank and Dan Corcoran of York were there. Mose Warner of Lyons was also there. He got up out of bed to go and said it made him feel well to get among so many democrats. About seventy-five democratic edi tors were there and we got ac quainted with many whom \ve had never met but had heard of for years. W. S. Jackson and C. A. Rossecer weat down with us but went on to Omaha to see Farmer Burns get thrown by Beal , and re turned on the same train with us Wednesday night. Why should a railroad ticket that has been honestly bought aiid paid for with good money "Ex pire" if by chance it i.s net used within a certain specified time ? If l ; f * the money paid for it remains good why shouldn't .the ticket ale remain good until used ? This is also one of the forms of It. H. graft , that getting something for nothing. Hushville Standard. People who won't advertise in a paper , making an excuse that ad vertisements of saloons appear therein and then try to get their free notices in fie paper and harp about not being able lo publish free replies to exposures , show their hypocritical demeanor and i selfishness. The subscription department of' ' THE VALISNTIXK DE.MjrKvr is not falling oil as much as the trarlo of c.-rtain hypocrites who seem de termined to injure the fellow merchants , ba im men and the town in general < r their -own selfish ends. THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT , seems to Inve made a goo.l jab two , \veeks ago at somebody who seems to have taken it to her heart i and would rather 'twould have j been a dagger than exposure eli i villainy , rascality and hypocrisy. " / It i = ? noticeable that when a man goes fishing1 and catches some fine black bass he walks proudly down Main street , but if he catches none he sneaks down the back : il- i ley and tries to avoid meeting" anyone. Why don't the croaker move to Gordon nr some place of II T choice if Valentine is a bad place. It -vas so years ago , or worse , but has always been a good town. \ \ \\y \ ! W. M.

Here 1 am after twenty years , part of which i had spent in Paris and other places noted for their art. I had got a fair start in life and had laid up a fair amount , part of which I decided to use in making a visit to my old home in. Nebraska , and to see my parents , sisters and friends whom I had not seen for years. I was not prepared for the change in my old school-mat . I found Elsie and Flossie proud and hippy housewives , rujinir over - / er large and beautiful houses which were the pride of the coun try. I went to see them , and was surprised at the magnificence and splendor of the interior of their homes. 1 had never dreamed that farm houses could be such a para dise of joy. It was not alone the grandeur of it , but a certain home-like harmony was about the place that made one think that God is good indeed. 1 visited the Valentine kinder garten and found Bernice and Es- telh the leading teachers , I was not in fie least surprised , for they hid a iays i talked of being teach ers , but to see the children casting loving jzlances and sweet smiles at them and to see them returned , did one good. At recess they went out to play and at night were sent home with loving words and caresses which L am sure they were greet-ed with in the morning. As I was walking up the street j one morning 1 heard a band play ing. I was used to the sound , but something in the sweet , melodious I tones told nm that it was no ordi nary band. I stopped to listen and thought I saw something fa I miliar about the captain's face. I Just then he loo'd at me and 1 i saw in the clear blue eyes and fine ! j black hair and features one of my class-rnates Arthur Brown. I re membered how well he could play the violin and how we all said that he would be a great musician by and by. i Little Pearl , the pot of the school , and the best singer among ' u , had shown her talent to a still greater advantage andv as the best singer in the country , and happy were they who could per suade her to teach their little sons and daughters , or even the larger ones. Clay Brown , who we had all admired - mired for his talent of "laying things off , " as we termed it , was nominated governor of Nebraska , lie had stlidied and become a law yer and had practiced at the bar for several years. Key Evans was the owner'of the largest dairy farm in thecoun-1 try and anyone who wanted fresh butter , good cream or milk always asked for the Evansbrand. . Benjamin Owens was the owner of the largest farm in the country and it was a pleasant sight to see the waving fields of grain nodding and . ready to be cut. , It brought back old memories which had been buried deep in my hears for many years to see the green corn and hear it rustle as we walked among it looking for roasting ears. Tne fruit trees were loaded with ripe and early fruit. Walter Thompson is now a strong kind-hearted business man of Valentine. He is the man who owns that great brick store on the corner and sells the brussels car pet , mahogany furniture and all of those things which the poor long for. The "little folks , " as we called thtim 20 years ago , are doing well in their different occupations. Some are school-ma'ams and mas ters : some are farmers , and some are in the great whirl of city life. The old school house is altered s ) ine. It does not look like the sa ne one , but I noticed there were some things just as they were be fore. Some of the same old desks and books were there and also many new ones. Tl e old school grounds were very much changed. Instead of j the ban-on ground , on one side was a fine little grove of trees and on the green grass in the shade many gay hearted boys and girls were running to and fro , just as light-hearted and free as we used to be when we played on those old school grounds together , but fie old bell can never ring for us again as it used to when we were children for our scl.ool days have passed and we must fill our places in life's busy world.

When the carabao is pounced upon by the boa and the reptile has wrapped itself round the body for the squeezing process of killing the animal , the cara bao slowly draws in 'its sides until the boa has his grip fixed securely and begins to tighten up , when suddenly the carabao inflates his lungs to their fullest , and spreads his sidef ? , tearing ( he vertebrae of the reptile into a thou sand pieces. How Tea L.cnd Is Made. Tea lead for lining tea chests is su perior at least from the standpoint of cheapness to any other metal. Accord ing ! to an article in the Brass World , the method practiced by the Chinese in l'e maur.facture of tea lead is to press inoiren lend between two flat stones , The cc ( > ' - . of lead is melted in an iron Lottie by a direct lire undernra ! ! ) . Rice paper is carefully smoothed down over the surface of the stones to supply a ioncoiductor of heat and thus prej vent the chilling of the lead. The r.toncs are now placed fiat upon the ground and the upper one raised a : ; 'uort distance , with one edge resting upon the lower stone. In other words , tl : > stones are opened like a book. A lule ; full of melted lead is now poured j in between the stones , and the lop one is ( v.iickly dropped. The lead is squeez ed out until only a thin layer is left. Tea lead usually runs from .003 to .10 inch in thickness. An Uniamed Marquis. The father of the Marquis of Cute had an amusing experience in the neighborhood of Kothesay. He met a cockic-y traveler \Vho asked to be di rected to a certain place. Deceived by the marquis' accent , the visitor took him for a southron and took occasion to make supercilious remarks about [ lie barl'aror.s islanders of Cute. He raid , "IJliiv.e me.
