SOME ONE TO TAKE YOUK PAKT.

Man's nxtfutility In God's opportu-
nlty. A horde of Israelites were once
fleeing from tlit'lr taskmasters , terror
stricken , stampeding , with men shoutIng -
Ing , women praying , children crying ,
cnttlo lowing , everywhere Indescriba
ble fear mid confusion , before them nn
Impassable Ken , on either Hide Insur
mountable cliffs , to their rear Pha
raoh's nriny. They could hear the roar
of ItoofH and the dull thunder of char
iot wheels. Any first year Went Point
er would have pronounced such a posi
tion a huge tactical blunder. The end
W < IH clear Hword , rapine , maBHacred
men. despoiled women , captive chil
dren. At the darkest moment there's
a frantic appeal to MORCS and God.
The answer Is Godlike In Its strength
and assurance , "The Lord shall fight
Tor you , and ye shall hold your peace. "
Rver have your lawyer Hay : "Now ,
Just leave this case with us. It Is
clear as daylight ? " Ever have jour
physician say , "We'll have that child
dancing on the sidewalk and hungry
enough to cat nails In a week ? " Then
you went to your work with light
heart. It wasn't many hours until the
Impossible happened. The sea was
opened , and the Israelites passed over
dry shod , while a cloud of protection
dropped between them and their pur-
cucrs.
Whtn You'v * Don * Your Best.
Say , mother , ever get to the breaking
point , the place where If you could
Just scream It would seem relief ?
Don't do It. The asylum's at the end
of that road. There's something bet
ter , I kuo\.v the pace Is terrlllc , and
yet you don't seem to get anything
done. Washing baby faces , starting
little feet off to school , laundering ,
mending , baking , scrubbing , sweeping
and the thousand other duties that
constitute n woman's day do not seem
to count for much , but I declare unto
you that you are doing more for the
world that now Is and that which Is
to come than many another woman
who fancies she sways the rod of em
pire. Hut when your nerves are Jan
gling , doing duty with n fearfully worn
constitution , whooping cough in the
house for six weeks , no rest , 110 sleep ,
other troubles you don't dare tell any
one , when you cover the cage to keep
the canary from singing , when you
iiiulllc the doorbell , when the wagon
passing seems driving over your fore
head then you are at the Ited sea.
There's one of two ways t ien. either
the madhouse or God. There's noth
ing but the old fashioned religion of
Jesus Christ that will carry a woman
through the trials of home life.
At the End of Your String.
Of course the fellows on the Mcrrl-
mac were heroes ; also the fellows car
rying out the powder sacks among tlie
sparks at Fortress Monroe. Death
snapped right In their faces. But
sometimes the easiest thing to do is to
die. The big trick , then , Is to have
firlt enough to live. Say , father , at
the desk , at the bench , behind the
counter , are you sometimes almost at
the end of your string ? Can't hardly
make both ends meet ? Fighting slan-
der. tlnancial losses , life plans slipping
away , have to let a policy lapse and
put a mortgage on the little homo }
Are then- nights when you've hud to
take the cartridges from your revolv
er ? "My. God. not that ! " your better
self said. Listen ! There's some one
who cares. You are now wedged in
the Ited sea ahead , the mountains on
either side , the ( lends of hull back of
you. There's nothing left but God.
Go right to him. 1 challenge you.
Have you ever honestly tried ? You
see tlio thing Is In his hand. Who
sent.tho rain before Waterloo ? If the
atheist Is right then hunt up your car
tridges again. If Christ Is right then
you have a Father who can somehow
make "all things work together for
good to them that love the Lord. "
Simply Let Gel
Don't pester your lawyer telling him '
of something you've read along the J
line of that case. Don't give your sick
baby quiet doses of "something you've
heard of" to aid your doctor. Ho
knows quite n few things that you do (
not know. Trust him. God Isn't In a t
tight place. You don't have to help (
him. Trust him. lie guides the comets (
In their niultlmllllon mile orbits. Ho i
balanced the leaf that fluttered Just
now. He has handled bigger tasks
than yours. Trust him. Hemenibcr
back home years ago. In the old pond ,
when the fellows were teaching you
to float ? Remember how you floun
dered , and Hung , and grasped , and
clutched , and strangled , with your
mouth and nostrils full of the muddy
pond water , even with the fellows
keeping their hands under your sun
bronzed body ? Then Hill Jones bless
his freckled face , wonder where he Is
now said : "Now , J-lm , don't be so
foolish. Just simply let go ! " And
before long you were floating like a
lazy old porpoise In the sunshine. God
sometimes leads a man Into a wedge
from which there seems no escape.
Then when you are ready not God-
Jo and behold , the way open * up won
derfully. Just seems n miracle hap
pens. You'll never doubt again. Say ,
do you love Hint little curly head that
you kissed good night awhile ago ?
Would you fight pretty hard for every
Imir In her little head ? Well , "tho
Lord shall tight for you. " Your love
for that youngster Is a rope of sand
compared to the love of God for you.

What He Bald In Omaha When He
Thought TJiat He Had Won.
Omnlm Nowu : Whan Douglas coun
ty returns gave Mayor Dahlman nearly
8,000 majority Tuesday night , the
mayor took It for granted ho was elect
ed and nuulo speeches In the Dahlmnn
club and on the struct , his subjects
being the W. C. T. U. , the prohibition
ists , the Omaha preachers , William J.
llryan and Urn Omaha Dally News.
In his speech at the Dahlman club
ho attacked the W. C. T. U. and the
prohibitionists , according to men who
wcro present , In terms that cannot he
printed.
"Whon I am pilot of this great ship
of state , " ho said , "I'll teach the W. C.
T. U. and the prohibitionists that the
olllce of govonior means something.
They'll receive no quarter at my
hands. And , by God , If one of the
steps Insldo of the gov
ernor's office I'll kick the
clear across the capltol grounds.
"And now , rentlomcn , I Invite you
to the barbecue at Lincoln that wo
have talked of so much. We'll have
that barbecue on the state house lawn
and the boor will flow moro frcoly and
there will bo moro of It than there
over was In any saloon In the city of
Omaha.
"For the rank and flic of the party ,
you who have made It possible for mete
to ho elected to the offlco of governor
of this great stnto of Nebraska , to you
I say that I am going to throw wldo
open the city of Omaha and the state
of Nebraska. I'm going to exercise
the power you have vested In mo. "
In a speech on Fnrnam near Fif
teenth , Dahlmnn attacked the Dally
News , saying :
"Tho Dally News Is a dirty , lowdown -
down sheet , a lying , grafting sheet ,
out simply for the money.
"D n you , stop that car ; don't
you know who's talking to you ? " cried
Dahlman , shaking his fist at a motorman -
man trying to squeeze his car through
the crowd. Ho ordered police to stop
the cars for half an hour while he pro
ceeded.
"I atn for the plain people and
against all aristocrats and fanatics , "
said Dahlman , whoso rostrum was al
ternately a soap box and the rear scat
of an automobile. Here was Dahl-
man's advice to persons voting for
Aldrlch :
"I wish all the men who voted
against me to get a gallon of bourbon
and a gallon of rye , go homo and go
down In the cellar and get on a sous
ing drunk and forget their troubles.
"All you fellows who haven't the
money hold up your hands and come
to me and I'll give you $5 tofluy
booze. "
Dahlman boastlngly asserted he was
elected despite Bryan , whom ho again
read out of the party , and the Minis
terial union and W. C. T. U. women.
"If 1 had been defeated Omaha
would have had hundreds of empty
buildings and property values would
' have dropped 40 percent. "

An English Political Row.
London , Nov. 11. Following last
night's announcement of the failure of
the constitutional conference there
was today the greatest activity at al
the party headquarters where the
decks were being cleared for action In
view of the possibly almost Immediate
general election.
The government stalwarts urged
prompt appeal to the country on the
ground that the sooner they struck the
better would bo the chances of over
. whelming the opposition , but Premier
I Asquith is believed to be In favor o.
qulckly winding up the business of the
' parllamentai/ session before placing
the resignation of the cabinet in the
hands of the king. Much will depend
' upon the attitude of the Irish nnd la
bor parties upon the assembling o
parliament next Tuesday.

consequence of the conference failure
Consols for money today sold of

were weak.

to anonymous circulars which connect
ed the company with Charing Crossing
bank , which failed recently. There is
no connection between the two houses ,
the Dlrkbeck people claim they will bo
able to meet all demands In full

A TEACHER MISUSED MAILS.
For Writing to a Girl a Wisconsin Professor -
fessor Was Arrested.
Madison , WIs. , Nov. 12. Prof. Irwln
Illllman10 years old , lecturer on
American history In the University of
Wisconsin , extension course , confessed
today that ho had sent obscene matter
through the malls. The charge under
which federal olllcors arrested him
was that he had mailed letters and
) lctures to a young woman student of
ho university Blllman also said he
ad sent some correspondence to his
vlfo under an assumed name. She
was arrested after an attempt to de-
troy documents found In the Ulllman
ionic.
The name of the young woman who
first gave the officials a clew Is bolng
withhold. She Is a member of the
ippcr class , a sorority member and an
icqiialntanco of the accused man ana
its wife.
The capture of Blllrnan was brought
\bout through a clever move on the
part of the detectives. After seeing
ho first letter they requested the re
ceiver to answer. The correspondence
on both sides was done by typewriter ,
and after the detectives had posses
sion of half a dozen letters , the use of
i lock box In the postofflce was sug
gested. The girl wrote that she would
rent thu box and deposit the extra key
on top of the telephone booth in the
) ostofflce. The booth served as a hid-
ng place for the detectives.
The detectives arranged an electric
bntt'ery so that the lifting of the key
would flash a light. The trick worked ,
and Dillnmn confessed when the of-
Icors took him homo and found lot-
ers in his home. Ho said that he had
not sent letters to moro than ono
woman.

vania. He was granted a master's do-
; rce last June nnd has been working
or a doctor's degree. He Is a grad
uate of Ohio Northern college , Ada , O.

MAKE A GOOD RECORD.
Norfolk High School Football Team
Has Lost Only Once.
If the Norfolk high school defeats
the Wayne normal on the driving park
gridiron they will have won every
game they played this season with
: ho exception of one with Nellgh.
This will tie the record made by the
1909 team. However , the Norfolk
Loam will have to dispose of the
Wayne high school team on Thanks
giving day , which will be the last
game of the season , to keep this rec
ord Intact.
The Wayne high school has agreed
to come to Norfolk on Thanksgiving
day , paying their own expenses , and
for half the gate receipts.

to Wayne next year on Thanksgiving
day on the same proposition.
Norfolk Is already recognized as ono
of the strongest high school teams in
northeast Nebiaska , and a number of
high school teams have declared they
were not strong enough for Norfolk.
Neligh has boon Norfolk's stroi
opponet.
The new 1910 rules have worked out
satisfactorily and there has been no
complaint against them by the play
ers here or other teams. There are
but few changes In the rules , most
notably the rests between each quart
er and the changing of goals to which
the players seem to take well.

judge has been so useful to the people
of his district that there Is no longer

TO REDISTRICT STATE.
Lack of Big Majority Will Ensure Fair
Revision.
Whether the state legislature shows
a slight majority ono way or the other ,
prominent members of the democratic
and republican parties In Norfolk are
rather pleased that the result of elec
tion Is so close In both house and sen
ate. In accordance with the state laws
the duty of re districting the state for
members of congress , state legisla
ture and possibly for district judges ,
will fall to the next legislature , and
the fact that parties are about evenly
represented , they sny , will ensure n
fair revision.
The laws provide that the state shall
be redlstrlcted at the lirst session of
the legislature after every state and
jvery national census has boon taken.
The national census was taken last
spring , hence the revision this winter.
The census returns for the state will
be forwarded to the legislature from
Washington probably In January.
The legislature is not required by
law to revise the judicial districts at
this time , lint may do so if the census
returns indicate changes enough In
the population of the districts to war
rant It.

Firebug at Madison.
Madison Post : Is the firebug and
the person who has been tampering
with the railroad switches in the lo
cal yards , one and the same person ?
It is some person who Is ordinarily all
right In the home nnd on the street
but who has a mania for destruction
of life and property. There are two
solutions of the problem ns arrived
at by some of our citizens and it would
