U Is Indeed a sad thing to sec a man

Overeating1 , lack of exercise and
breathing bad air In close rooms caus
es more death than whisky , tobacco
and dissipations of other sorts. While
you are steering shy of these latter
evils , make sure that you are keeping
clear of the others. Don't overeat ,
until your system Is clogged and over
taxed ; don't content yourself with
walking to and from your office twice
a day ; and don't shut out the fresh
air i'rom your business rooms and your
sleeping rooms.

A Chinese editor in Now York
makes seine strong comparisons be
tween the Chinese and Americans.
Ho admits that they have bad Chinese
gamblers nnd opium eaters , but says
that whisky Is worse than opium.
Whisky raises the passions which
transform i man Into a beast , and ho
goes home to kick his wife ; opium
changes the man to a living corpse
and his wife kicks him. The editor
continues sarcastically : "I edit a
paper turned out by yellow men but
wo turn out a white paper , while many
white men turn out yellow papers. "
This editor evidently possesses a
sense of Lumor not common to his
race.
"The gei.tie art of self defense , " as
practiced in some of the colleges and
schools like Annapolis , has becouu n
disgrace to the nation. The author !
tlos , not t'.ie students , are to blame
for it. They prate about the dlscip
line that ynmg men obtain , when the
truth Is they catch a spirit of ruffian
ism and biutality displayed nowhere
else and silently winked at where It
would not be tolerated a single Instant
by the public. This "cussedness" by
college students should cease and ed
ucators who have some backbone and
a whole lot of ordinary common sense
should command a premium In the
paying out of the people's money. Its
time to call a halt. Our higher schools
of learning have exalted the art of
savagery long enough. No one wants
namby-pambylsm or goody-goodlness.
but the people of Intelligence would
like to see the unrefined pugilism of
the present day college life supplanted
by n practical highmlndedness becom

A pretty little Incident which oc
curred during a great educational con
vention held nt Asbury Park last July ,
at which President Roosevelt was a
prominent speaker , has recently been
miblished. An old lady was present at
the convention who had an autograph
ilbum containing the names of all
presidents since the time of Lincoln.
She was very anxious to add President
Roosevelt to the list. Through the In
fluence of friends her grandson was
miven an opportunity to make the re
quest Just as the president was going
'o the platform. Seeing the album ,
the president motioned it aside , saying
impatiently , "Haven't time. " The
voting man briefly replied , "Abraham
Lincoln had time. " Instantly the pros-
dent stopped and took the book and
vroto his name saying , as he returned
t , "I count it an honor to write my
inmo where Abraham Lincoln wrote
ifs. " Many besides President Roose-
elt could learn lessons of kindly cour-
esy to the aged nnd helpless from the
"title dealings of the great Lincoln ,
bo always had time to bo kind.

NORTHWESTERN PUTS THE NEW
SCHEDULE IN EFFECT SUNDAY.
CHANGE IN NORTH FREIGHTS
Freights Between Norfolk and Bone- ,
cteel Run Earlier In the Day Sunday -
day Morning Train is Established Be-
twccn Fremont and Lincoln.
fFrom Frldny's Dnllv.l
A now time card was Issued by the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad from
Norfolk today , to become effective
next Sunday. There are no changes
In trains out of Norfolk excepting the
Bonostocl freights , which will leave
earlier In the morning for the north
and arrive from that direction earlier
In the evening. The only other change
of importance is on the line between
Fremont and Lincoln , where n Sunday
morning passenger service Is to bo es
tablished.
The Bonestccl freight train out of
Norfolk , which formerly left here at
about noon , will now leave Norfolk at
7:15 : a. m. It will arrive in Boncstcel
at 8:10 : p. m. Returning , this train
leaves Boncsteol at 9 a. m. and ar
rives In Norfolk at 7 : HO p. in.
The northbound way freight , run
ning between Norfolk and Vordigrer
will leave Norfolk at 8:15 : n. m. and
will return in the evening at 7:10.
This train turns around nt Vcrdlgro.
The changes In this service will beef
of much benefit to the traveling public
on the Bonestcel line , as It will give
morning trains bound for the north
and , up near Boncstcel , will give
give morning trains bound for the-
south , also. Hitherto the only trains
running on that line ran during the-
afternoon or at midnight , so that the
new schedule will help wonderfully
ind will be appreciated by the trav
elers. This gives something of the
same sort of service that now runs
between Norfolk and Long Pine in the
morning freights.
Sunday Morning Lincoln Train.
The new time card makes a change
In the Fremont-Lincoln service which
will be important as an Improvement
for the whole northern part of the
state. This is the establishment of n
Sunday morning train out of Lincoln
and return from Fremont. For years
the need of this train has been felt by
the traveling public nnd the change-
will be heartily appreciated. Former
ly It was necessary to wait in Lincoln
until afternoon If one desired to get
out on Sunday , and in going to Lincoln
on the Sunday morning train the people
ple from the Bonesteol line , who had
only that train to make , were com
pelled to wait in Fremont until late
in the afternoon. People , too , from
Minneapolis and St. Paul , as well as
Sioux City , who wanted to get to Lin
coln Sunday morning , had to go
iround by way of Omaha , where they
may now take the short cut through.
