Superintendent Hayward Talks Before Prison Congress. In his talk before the prison con gress at Lincoln regarding the Indus trial school and its work. Superintend ent Hayward of Nebraska said his in stitution was merely a school, and he Oiw not teach the pupils that they were being punished, but that they were be ing helped. These Inmates, he said. were not criminals, but they were boys who had brains too large and were too large physically for the towns in which they lived. It was the force in them that was breaking out, and there was no one in the town com l'.ent to direct that great force into the proper channels. The boys he said, would develop the greatest minds on earth were they directed right while they were young. The fault that they have gone wrong, he said, was not with the child, but with the par ents and the public school teachers. wo, he said, were selected from the field of incompetency. No university graduate, he said, was fit to teach school without a proper and thorough training. He told of the work in the school and what the boys had accomplished, which fact he said, was absolutely un known to the juvenile court officers and to others who should know. The school had developed, until now, he said, that frequently men who had been inmates when boys now visit the institution with their wives and show them around the workshops and are proud of having had the opportunity of attending such a school. It should not be considered a disgrace for a boy to be an inmate of such an institution, because it is never the fault of the boy, but of those who should look af ter his early training.

McBrien, a valuable collection of nubile docu ments was added to the library of the State Normal school at this place.

Sr.. living two miles south of Central City, returned from THE FIGHT FOTt HOVGOVMOtT The most interesting point on the field of Waterloo is Hougoomont farm, tha famous position around which the great battle of Jun 18, 1815, raged. To-day it presents a very peaceful ap pearance. Sheep graze in the orchard taken and retaken so many times in the contest, and chickens walk about In the farmyard where perished some of the best men of both armies. The farm was one of the first objects of Napoleon's attack at Waterloo. It lay in a valley between the two armies. and the Duke of Wellington had gar. risoned it with the Second Brigade of Guards, under Major-General Sir John Byng. the Light Companies of the First Brigade; the Light Companies of the Coldstream, and a detachment un der Lieut-Col. Macdonnell. These were variously distributed in the cha teau, the farmyard and gardens. A strong wall which surrounds the farm on all sides was pierced with holes for musketry, and Wellington erected a scaffolding Inside the orchard, so that the men could fire over ihe wall. The whole of Reille's corps, consist ing of 30.000 men, some of the finest fighters in the French army, was con' centrated on Hougoumont farm, which Napoleon hoped to take quickly by storm. As a matter of fact, the po sitlon was aever taken, and the French army tried every possible means throughout that fatal July 18th to capture it. Wellington threw re inforcements into the place from time to time. Itis estimated that the woods and gardens surrounding the farm were taken and recaptured not less than nine times. The allied forces lost in this attack on Hougoumont twenty-eight officers and nine hun dred men, while various authorities give the loss of the French at ten thousand. Lord Dudley said in one of his letters, speaking of Hougoumont farm: "This Belgian yeoman's garden was the safeguard of Europe, and the destiny of mankind turned upon the possession of his house." Battlefield guides point to a well in the interior of the gardens down which Napoleon is said to have thrown 300 of his wounded who were beyond the means of aid. A little chapel, also within the grounds, is thought by the peasantry to have been the scene of a miracle. Though Napoleon set fire to the build ings and chapel, the fire stopped at the foot of a crucifix, which is shown to-day with much veneration. The Sketch. VISITS CWRET) THE "TILVES" "l have discovered an excellent rem edy for my old maid blues," said the bachelor girl. "I have times like any other unmarried girl of being discon tented with single blessedness and of wishing that I had a home and a dou ble life. Now, when I feel one of these moods coming on I go straight to spend the afternoon with some young married friend, and I return home hap py and contented with my lot. "Maybe I'm wicked, but when I hear the baby whining and see it taking up its mother's time when she wants to read and sew I think of my little den, where I can read all night with no one to disturb me. When I find I can't in terest her in any jolly talk about the theaters or what is going on in the world, but must confine my conversa tion to the price of coal, the cost of living, the baby's new tooth and hub by's ills, I fairly thrill with joy to think I can soon go to my bachelor quarters and have the companionship of other bachelor girls in the apart ment. I know I don't have all the com forts my married friends do, but when they cook they are obliged to have al! sorts of utensils around and stir up trouble for themselves generally; while my cooking is confined to a chaf ing dish and its few accessories. If I must confine myself to creamed oys ters, and such menus, I have six dishes j lure io wasn, wnue my marneu menus have about fifty. "I took supper with my dearest mar ried friend last evening and proposed that we go to the theater afterward. But she couldn't because Alfred that's her husband never liked to have her out when he was going to be home. My next proposition was that 1 read to her while she sewed, but she said my reading would disturb the baby. I suggested a game of pitch, but she couldn't find the chips because the baby had hid them. So I decided to go home. That seemed to please her, for she yawned and said she had to go to bed early because the baby waked her at 5 o'clock every morning. "I fairly tore home and I wanted to hug everything in my room. Of course, there was no person to greet me, but there was my Maltese cat curled up in comfort on my couch, and in the next room were two of the dearest girls in the world with whom I could chat if I felt lonely. I made fa delicious rabbit and called in my neighbors, and at 12 o'clock I went to bed, glad that there was no baby to wake me at 5 o'clock." PARALYSIS CORED Soatw1 Hsealasa tnit Yield if Dr. WMiama' Pink Pills. Mr. Kenney has actaally escaped from the paralytic's fate to which he seemed a. short time ago hopelessly doomed. Tha saransug report has been f ally verified and some important details secured ia a personal interview with the recent saf ferer. "The doctor," said Mr. Keaaey, "lei e that if I wanted to live any length f time I wcnld have togivr ap work al together, and he told my fnttnds that tne paralysis which had begna would iu time involve my whole buriv." " Just how were yoia airlifted at this time?" Mr. Keiuiev was asked. " Well. I had first hot. aad then cold and clmiutiy feeling, aud at times my body felt as if needles were being (duck into it. These sensations wrt followed by terrible paius, and again I would fanvn no feeling at all, but a numbness would come over me, aud I would not be able to move. The most ugnuiziug tortures came from headaches and a pain iu the spine. " Night after night I could not get uy natural sleep and my system was wrecked by the strain of torturing pains and the effect of the opiates I was forced to take to induce sleep. As 1 look back on the terrible suffering I endured during thin period I often wonder how I retained my reasou through it all. "But relief came eniefcly when I was induced to try Dr. Williams' link Pills for Pale People. The very first box seemed to help me. and seven boxes maito me entirely well. There cau be no doubt about the thoroughness of my cure, for I have worked steadily ever siiice and that i nearly four years." Mr. Kenney is at present employed by the Mcrrimac Hat Company and reside at 101 Anbi street. Amesbury. Mass. The remedy which he used with such satisfactory results, is sold by all drug gists, or direct by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Scheiwctady, N Y.

"Good boy, John!" chuckled the gro cer, as he patted the young man on the back and shook hands with him.

TTAstorn ritv rf Hnot!nic' c!to An explosion of sewer gas in Scott Camel riding in the desert of Sahara is not so very fatiguing, after one has learned how. A veteran traveler in that district describes the process: "Each riding camel has a bridle, cr rather halter, of plaited leather like an ordinary halter, and the camel is guid ed as one would a horse if riding him with one rein only. The saddle is a most elaborate affair. To adjust prop erly one on a camel's hump is an art extremely difficult to master. First, two cushions of leather, stuffed with grass straw, are placed on the animal's hump, and on these is set the saddle. The latter consists of two wooden forks, one in front and one behind, con nected by a side board; above this is placed the seat of the saddle, which is built like a square saucer. The tops of the wooden forks rising in front and behind form two saddle horns, and once one has negotiated his way into the 'saucer and installed the feet and leg3 by letting them, from the knee downward, hang over the front, one is pretty safe from falling out. Cushions and rugs placed in this saucerlike de pression add to the comfort. The sad dle is secured by a wide girth and also by a shoulder-strap and girth at the back that takes the place of a crupper. "There are. of course, no stirrups, the foot merely hanqing over the front. After one has learned to avoid an oc casional die; in the middle of the back from the hindmost horn and has be come accustomed to the weight of the legs hanging over the front, camel rid ins is very comfortable and far less tiring than horseback riding, especial ly as one's position can be varied in many ways by riding side-saddle or crossing the legs on the camel's neck and so forth. The Ion?, swinging gait is fairly easy and one can move about on a camel's hack in a manner that would startle any ordinary horse. "On the saddle are carried a pair of leathern saddle-bags, wherein I car ry books, maps, instruments, cart ridges, lunch and the like. From the horns of the saddle are hung rifle, field glasses, prismatic compass and water bottle.
