The Box Appreciated.
Battle Creek , Neb. , Dec. 27. Editor
of the News : It is strange to note the
difference between men and their dif
ference in doing things. Like shoot
ers at the target , some never ring the
bell , some never think about trying
to ring It , some would try If they
knew how , and then there are the very
few who hit the mark most every
time. It just seems easy for them ,
and one of these fine men is Commis
sioner Taft of Norfolk. It appears to
bo as easy for him to bo Johnnie on
the spot as it does for a mud turtle to
roll off a log , and so when on Christ
mas he sent the five inmates at the
county poor farm and the steward's
family a box of several kinds of fruits
and other gifts of remembrance ,
which were highly appreciated , ho
again hit the target "plumb center. "
May his shadow never grow less.

MORE DATA ON BIRTHS.
New Form of Statistics Will Be Used
in Nebraska After Jan. 1.
After Jan. 1 Nebraska physicians
will have as much history to record In
connection with the birth of a child
as they do now witli the history of a
person who dies. Heretofore when a
child was born the physician had only
to fill out a small postal card , which
was forwarded to the local registrar
within twenty-four hours after the
birth. After Jan. 1 the child born will
get a history in the registrar's office
as long as that of a deceased person.
This new certificate of birth will
give the place , county , township , vil
lage or city of the birth , street and
ward number , sex , number in order
of birth , date , the father's and moth
er's full names , residence , color , birth
place , age , occupation , and number of
children born to the parents. The full
name of the child will also be Included
in the blank. Besides all this , the phy
sician has a certificate to sign on the
same blank. This blank is sent to the
state department of commerce and
labor , where it is bound in book form
and placed on file.
In sending out these new instruc
tions the chief of the department says
that while now it Is difficult to trace
a child who has a fortune coming to
him by the old system , the new form
will greatly aid in the work.
"Twenty-one years is a long time , "
says the chief , "and sufficient In this
country to amass many fortunes. The
child who is born today in poverty
may , when reaching his majority , bo
enabled to inherit a fortune by being
n a position to give all legal facts
connected with his or her birth. "
HERE'S WHY MEN GO WRONG.
Pressure from Collar Buttons Is Re
sponsible , Dr. Walker Says.
Washington , Dec. 28. Naturally it
took a woman to find out what Is
wrong with the men. Too many of
them are going to those institutions
.vhere . keepers prevent them from be
ing too rough on themselves while
they are trying to fly across the
padded cell in an imaginary multi
plane of their own invention. And the
insanity is caused by whisky ? Wrong.
Cigarettes ? Wrong again. Just col
lar buttons.
All this on the authority of Dr.
Mary Walker , the exponent of trous
ers for women. The Interviewer re
marked that Dr. Walker was quite
right. Hunting collar buttons was
enough to drive any man to Mattea-
wan. And , just like a man , he had
missed the significance of her state
ment. She hastened to explain that
it was the pressure of the buttons oo
delicate nerve centers that drove men
Insane.
Now Dr , Walker has a mission even
inoro Important than that of Joslah
Allen's wife , who called on the presl
lent In the Interest of the eternal wel
fare of her self-retiring spouse. She
Is hero to Interest President Taft in
her campaign and also to obtain , if
possible , his indorsement of her cf
forts to persuade her own sex to
adopt the attlro of man minus the
collar button.
She has long Ignored the dictates
of fashion plates and has been con
spicuous for her appearance in cloth
Ing prescribed for men. She says tha
If she Is able to prevail upon the
women to discard skirts and adop
trousers material progress can be
made in the extermination of tuborcu
losls.
She says her conclusions regardln
the proper clothes to wear and con
cerning the "collar button peril" are
based upon careful Investigations dur
ing years of experimentation.
