iiiKi . r-A, .' -Tr 5-f ! IK- i l Columbus Journal R. a TROTHER, Editor. F. K. STROTHER, Manager. COLUMBUS, NEBRASKA. Do you remember what Charles Lamb says abort roast ids? How he falls into an ecstasy of laudation, spelling the rery name with small cap itals, as if the lower case were too mean for such a delicacy, and break ing away from the cheap encomiums of the vulgar tongue to hail it in sonorous Latin as principes obeosJor um. There is some truth in his com pliments, no doubt; but they are. wasteful, excessive, Imprudent. For if all this praise' is to be lavished on plain, fresh, immature, roast pig, what adjectives shall we find for the riper, richer, more subtle and sustaining viand, broiled bacon? asks Henry Van Dyke, in Scribner's. On roast pig a man cannot work; often he cannot sleep, if he have partaken of it im moderately. But bacon "brings to its sweetness no satiety." It strengthens the arm while it satisfies the palate. Crisp, juicy, savory; delicately salt as the breeze that blows from the sea; faintly pungent as the blue smoke of incense wafted from a clean wood fire; aromatic, appetizing, nourishing, a stimulant to the hunger which it ap peases, 'tis the matured bloom and consummation of the mild little pig, spared by foresight for a nobler fate nan juvenile roasting, and brought by art and man's device to a perfection surpassing nature. All the problems of woodland cookery are best solved by the baconian method. And when we say of one escaping great disaster that he has "saved his bacon," we say that the physical basis and the quin tessinal comfort of his life are un touched and secure. - New Plan to Save Child Labor. A proposition to take ail children under 14 years of age from factories and other places of employment and send them to school has been made by N. O. Nelson, a millionaire manufac turer, to the women's clubs of St Louis. Mr. Nelson is to pay the chil dren half the amount they would re ceive for their work, and the clubs the other half. The clubs have' yet to give their decision and. pending it, Mr. Nel son has undertaken to do the work himself, says Reader Magazine. He has investigated for several weeks past every application to the truant officer for permits for children under age to work in the factories, and has, at the present writing, found seven worthy cases. Each week these chil dren call at Nelson's office and receive the money they would have been paid for working an average of three dol lars a week. Then the children have been returned to their schools. In less than one-third of the cases inves tigated by Mr. Nelson did he find the people to be actually in need of the children's services. Trouble Ahead. The trusteestafrthe public library at Maiden, Mass announce that they will not "put in circulation a novel which a decent woman may not read to a 'decent man without blushing.' As this is a standard of excellence which cannot be applied a priori, it may be necessary to appoint a committee to exercise the novel censorship. The difficulty of finding a deecnt man win be equalled only by that of submitting a decent woman to such an ordeal, says the New York Post The latter might, after a time, grow hardened and maintain a deathly pallor while reading aloud from dubious works. It would not always be easy to distin guish a blush of modesty from what novelists call " a flush of vexation.'' The man might even blush while the woman remained pale, and, lastly, the blushing might be caused nol by the book, but by the presence of the man. Index to Prosperity. , The earnings of theaareat steel cor poration afford an inflnible Index to the prosperity of the country. The figures for the calendar year 1906 are impressive, the total being over $156, 619.000, against $119,850,000 in 1905, .$73,176,000 in 1904. and $109,271,000 in 1993. The showing for last year was a result of the phenomenal activity in building, railroad construction and im provement and steadily increasing de mand for iron and steel in every form And, continues the Troy Times, the business done by concerns outside the so-called "trust" attained still larger proportions. The new year begins with mills overcrowded with orders, those of the "trust" yet unfilled amounting to 8,489,718 tons, the largest ever known, and the prospects are favora ble to another record breaker. If the Elkhart man who, in a it of, jealousy, threw scalding coffee in his pretty wife's face, disfiguring her for life, were to be tried before a jury of women he would doubtless be sen tenced to be boiled in oil. If he had merely killed her he might have hope. In Kansas City a man was fined for taking his wife across his knee and spanking her. Evidently she did not consider that she was in her second childhood. Now it is reported that another eruption is threatened of Mount Ve suvius, endangering the villages on the aide ef the mountain. It certainly looks as though the earth were trying hard to tarn itself Inside out without the slightest regard for the feelings of its population. If the Swedish investigator has really succeeded in overcoming gravi tation, then lying machines should only he a matter of buckling on a pair et ten-cent wings.

"And I aupposeVahe amid satirically; "you wonder why I why yon are re pellent to me. Haven't you learned that, though I may have beau made inM to a moral coward, I'm not a physical coward? Don't bully and threaten. It'i I put my hand strongly on shoulder taunts and jeers do turn me aside. "What did mean?" I repeated. "Take tout hand off me," she not you manded. "What did you mean?" I repeated sternly. "Don't be afraid to answer." She was very young so the taunt stung her. '1 was about to tell you," said she. "when you began to make it impossible." I took advantage of this to extri cate myself from the awkward po sition In which she had put me I took my hand from her shoulder. "I am going to leave," she an nounced. 'Ton forgot that you are my wife," aaidL "I am not your wife," was her an swer, and if she had not looked so childlike, there in the moonlight all in white, I could not have held myself In cheek, so Insolent was the tone and so helpless of ever being able to win her did she make me feel. "You are my wins-and yon will stay here with me," I reiterated, my brain on fire. "I am my own, and I shall go where I please, and do what I please," was her contemptuous retort. "Why won't you be reasonable? Why won't you see bow utterly unsuited we are? I don't ask you to be a gentleman but just a man, and be ashamed even to wish to detain a woman against her will." I drew up a chair so close to her that to retreat, she was forced to sit In the broad window-seat Then I seated myself. "By all means, let us be reasonable," said I. "Now, let me explain my position. I have heard you and your friends discussing the views of marriage you've just been expressing. Their views may be right, maybe more civilised, more 'advanced' than mine No matter. They are not mine. I hold by the old standards and you are my wife mine. Do you understand?" All this as tranquilly as if we were dis cussing' fair weather. "And you will live up to the obligation which the marriage service has put upon yon." She might have been a marble stat ue pedestaled in that window seat "You married me of your own free will for you could have protested to the preacher and he would have sus tained you. You tacitly put certaincon ditions on our marriage. I assented to them. I have respected them. I shall continue to respect them. But when you married me, you didn't marry a dawdling dude chattering 'advanced ideas' with his head full of libertinism. You married a man. And that man is your husband." I waited, but she made no comment not even by gesture or movement. She simply sat, her hands interlaced In her lap, her eyes straight upon mine. "Yon say let us be reasonable," I went on. "Well, let us be reasonable. There may come a time when woman can be free and independent, but that time is -a long way off yet The world is organized on the baisis of every woman's having a protector of every decent woman's having a husband, unless" she remains in the home of some of her blood-relations. There may be women strong enough to set the world at defiance. But you are not one of them aad you know it You have shown it to yourself again and again in the last forty-eight hours. Your bringing-up has kept you a child In real knowledge of real life, as distinguished from life in that fash ionable hothouse. If you tried to as sert your so-called independence, you would be the easy prey of a scound rel or scoundrels. When I, who have lived In the thick of the fight all my life, who have learned by many a but prise and defeat never to sleep ex cept with' the sword and gun in hand, and one eye open when I have been trapped as Roebuck and Langdon have just trapped me what chance would a woman like you have?" She did not answer or change ex pression. "Is what 1 say reasonable, or un reasonable?" I asked gently. "Reasonable from your- stand point, she said. She gazed onfinto the moonlight up into the sky. And at the look in her face, the primeval savage in me strained to close round that slender white throat of hers and crush and crush until it had killed in her the thought of that other man which was transforming her from marble to flesh that glowed and blood that surged. 1 pushed back my chair with a sudden noise; by the way she trembled I gaged how tense her nerves must be. I rose and in a fairly calm tone, said: "We understand each other?" "Yes," she answered. "As before." I ignored this. "Think it over, An ita," I urged She seemed to me so lige a sweet spoiled child again. I longed to go straight at her about that other man. I stood for a moment with Tom Langdon's name on my lips, hut I could not trust myself. I went away to my own rooms. I thrust thoughts of her from my mind. I spent the night gnawing upon the ropes with which Mowbray Lang don and Roebuck had hound and foot I now say they of steel and it had long been broad day before I found that which make. every rope human XXV. . THE WEAK STRAND. -No sane creature, not even a bulldog, will fight simply from love of fighHwg When a man Is attacked, he may be sure he -Asa excited either fear or cupidity, or both. As far as I could see, it waa absurd that cu pidity was inciting Langdon and Roe buck against me. I hadnt enough to tempt them. Thus, I was forced to conclude that I must possess a strength of which I was unaware, and which stirred even Roebuck's fears But what could it be? Besides Langdon and Roebuck and me there were six principals in the proposed Coal combine, three of them richer and more influential in finance than even Langdon, all of them ex cept possibly Dykeman, the lawyer, or navigating officer of the combine, more formidable figures than I. Yet none of these men was being assailed. "Why am' I singled out?" I asked myself, and I felt that if I could an swer, I should find I had the means wholly o partly to defeat them. But Is in iBTanaBBBmulii '" an lBBuYvKk mvRBBBBmm a&BBBBBBBBBm!ev TH PRIMEVAL 8AVAGE IN ME BTRA1NED TO CLOSE ROUND THAT SLENDER WHITE THROAT AND CRUSH AND CRUSH. I could not explain to my satisfaction even Langdon's activities against me. I felt that Anita was somehow, in part' at least the cause; but even so, how bad he succeeded in convincing Roe buck that I must be clipped and plucked Into a groundling? "It must have something to do with the Manasquale mines," I decided. "I thought I had given over my con trol of them, but somehow I must still have a control that makes me too powerful for Roebuck to be at ease so long as I am afoot and armed." And I resolved to lake my; lawyers and search the whole Manasquale transaction to explore it from attic to underneath the cellar flooring. "We'll go through it" said I, "like ferrets through a ship's hold." As I was finishing breakfast Anita came in. She had evidently slept well, and I' regarded that as ominous. At her age, a crisis means little sleep until a decision has been reached. I rose, but her manner warned me not to advance and try -to shake hands with her. "I have asked Alva to stop with me here for a few days," she said formally. "Alva!" said I, much surprised. She had not asked one of her own friends; she had uasjed a girl she had met less than two days before, and that girl my partner's daughter. "She was here yesterday morning," Anita explained. And I now wondered how much Alva there was in Anita's firm stand against her parents. "Why don't you take her down to our place on Long Island?" 'said I, most carefully concealing my delight for Alva near her meant a friend of mine and an advocate and example of real womanhood near her. "Every thing's ready for yon there and I'm going to be busy the next few days busy day and night" She reflected. "Very well," she as sented presently. And she gave me a puzzled glance she thought I did not so as if she were wondering whether th enemy was not hiding new and deeper guile under an apparently harmless suggestion. "Then 111 not see you again for sev eral days." said I, most businesslike. "If you want anything, there will be Monsou out at the stables where he .. i - -. on 'the 'long distance.' Good-by. Good And I'nodded carelessly and friend .Illy to her, and went away, enjoying the pleasure of having startled her Into' visible astonishment "There's a better game than icy hostility, you! very young, young lady," said 1 to myself, "and that game Is friendly Indifference." Alva, would he with her. So she was secure for 'the present and my mind was free for "finance."' At that time the two most powerful men in finance were Galloway and Roebuck. In Spain I once saw a fight between a bull and a tiger or, rather the beginning of a fight They were released Into a huge iron cage. After circling it several times In the same direction, searching for a way out they came face to face. The bull tossed the tiger; the tiger clawed the bull. The bull roared; the tiger screamed. Each retreated to his own side of the cage. The bull unwed and snorted as If he could hardly wait to get at the tiger; the tiger crouched and quivered and glared murderously. as if he were going instantly to spring upon the bull. But the bull did not rush, neither did the tiger spring. That was the Roebuck-Galloway sit uation. How to bait Tiger Galloway to at tack Bull Roebuck that was the prob lem I must solve, and solve straight way. If I could bring about war be tween the giants, spreading confusion oyer the whole field of finance and filling all men with dread and fear. there was a chance, that In the con fusion I might bear off part or my fortune. Certainly, conditions would result in which I could more easily get myself intrenched again; then, too, there would be a by no means small satisfaction 'in seeing Roebuck clawed and bitten In punishment for having plotted against me. Mutual fear had kept these two at peace for five years, and most con siderate and polite about each other's "rights." But while our country's In dustrial territory is vast, the Interests of the few great controllers who de termine wages and prices for all are equally vast, and each plutocrat is tormented incessantly by jealousy sad suspicion; not a day passes without conflicts of interest that adroit di plomacy couud turn into ferocious warfare. And in this matter of mo nopolizing the coal, despite Roebuck's earnest assurances to Galloway that the combine was purely defensive, and was really concerned only with the labor question, Galloway, a great man ufacturer, or, rather, a huge levier of the taxes of dividends and Interest upon manufacturing enterprises, could not but be uneasy. Before I rose that morning I had a tentative plan for stirring him to ac- curt annoy you. Or you can get me Why He Wanted to Know Had a Reason for His Request for Information. The steamer Morning Star, com manded by Capt Brown, In the sum mer of 1904, while on a trip up the Maine coast with a party of excursion ists, was caught in a severe storm, and the waves washed the decks re peatedly. The captain assured the passengers that there was no Immedi ate danger. Most of the passengers were satisfied with this answer, but a little gentleman with an excited face stepped forward and asked the cap tain, time and time again, the same question: "Do you think we shall be wrecked?" After the captain answered many times, he at last became tired at the persistent passenger, and said: "Don't you hear what I say? Look at the oth er passengers, they do not seem at all disturbed. If there should be danger, I will inform you In time." The passenger, in reply, said: "I want to know in time, if we are going to be lost because there is a friend of mine on board." "Do you want to sajr good-by to him?" inquired the captain. . r . r - a. down town in my electric. It how -badly Anita was crippling brain, that not until I was: almost at my office, did it occur tone: "That was a tremendous 'luxury Roebuck in dulged bis conscience in last night It isn't like him to forewarn a man. even when he's sure he cant escape. Though his prayers were hot in Ids mouth, still, it's strange he didn't try to foolvme. In fact it's suspicious. In fact" Suspicious?, The instant the Idea was fairly before my mind, I knew I had let his canting fool me once more. I entered my offices, feeling that the blow had already fallen; and I was surprised, bat not relieved, when I found everything calm. "But fall it will within an hour or so be fore I can move to avert it" said I to myself. And fall It did. At eleven o'clock, just as I was setting out to make my first move toward heating old Gallo way's heels for the war-path, Joe came in with the news: "A general lock out's declared in the coal regions. The operators have stolen a march on the men who,' so they allege, were secret ly getting ready to, strike. By night every coal road will be tied up and every mine shnt down." , Joe knew our coal interests were heavy, bnt he did not dream his news meant that before the day was over wo would be bankrupt and not able to pay fifteen cents on the dollar. However, he knew enough to throw him into a fever of fright He watched my calmness with terror. "Coat stocks are dropping like a thermometer In a cold wave," he said, like a fireman at a sleeper in a burning 'bonne. "Naturally." said I. unruffled, appar ently. "What can we do about it?" "We must do something!" he ex claimed. "Yes, we must," I admitted. "For instance, we must keep cool, espe cially when two or three dozen peo ple are watching us. Also, yon must nttend to your usual routine." "What are you going to do?" he cried. "For God's sake, Matt don't keep me in suspense!" "Go to your desk," 1 commanded. And he quieted down and went I hadn't been schooling him in the fire drill for fifteen years in vain. I went up the street and into the great banking and brokerage house of Galloway and Company. I made my way through the small army of guards, behind which the old beast of prey was intrenched, and into his private den. There he sat at a small, plain table, in the middle of the room with out any article of furniture in it but his table and his chair. On the table was a small inkstand, perfectly clean, a steel pen equally clean, on the rest attached to it And that was ail- not a letter, not a scrap of paper, not a sign of work or of intention to work. It might have been the desk of a man who did nothing; in fact it was the desk of a man who had so much to do .that his only hope of es cape from being overwhelmed was to despatch and clear away each mat ter the instant it was presented to 'him. Many things could be read from the powerful form, bolt upright in that stiff chair, and' from the cynical, mas terful old face.' But to me the chief quality there revealed was that qual ity of qualities, decision the great est power a man can have, except only courage. And old James Gallo way had both. He pierced me with his blue eyes, keen as a youth's, though his face was seamed with scars of seventy tumul tuous years. He extended toward me over the table bis broad, stubby white hand the hand of a builder, of a con structive genius. "How are you. Blacktock?" said he. "What can I do for you?" He just touched my hand before dropping it and resumed that idol-like pose. But although there was only repose and delibera tion in his manner, and not a sugges tion of haste, I, like every one who came into that room and that pres ence, had a sense of an interminable procession behind me, a procession of men who must be seen by this master-mover that they might submit important and pressing affairs to him for decision. It was unnecessary for him to tell any one to be brief and pointed. "I shall have to go to the wall to day," Bald I, taking a paper from my pocket, "unless yon save me. Here is a statement of my assets and lia bilities. I call to your attention my Coal holdings. I was one of the eight men whom Roebuck got round him for the new combine It la a se cret but I assume you know nil about it" He laid the paper before him, put on his noseglasses and looked at it (To be Continued.) Zsbra Would Be Useful. Of all wild animals the sebrs would be most useful to msn If domesti cated. It is not liable to horse fever or tsetse fly. "No, not exactly that" answered the frightened man. "You see, the thing f it is, he has shamefully deceived me. and If we are going to the bottom I just want to tell him what 1 think of him." To Cure Neuralgia. Here is a simple method of curing facial neuralgia: If the neuralgia Is in the right side of the face the left hand should be placed in abasin of water as hot aa can be borne. Or if neuralgia is in the left side of the face then the right hand should be placed in the hot water. It is assert ed that In this way relief may be ob tained in less than five minutes.

Typical Soldier ef Fortune. Though many of the descendants of the Illustrious Edgar Allan Foe inherit some of his Illustrious instincts, it la probably more marked in the case of "Johnnie" Pee, who can well be styled a typical soldier of fortune. Mr. Poe belonged to the great Fifth regiment of Baltimore and served during the war with Spain, after which he went to the Philippines, where he was of fered a commission for efficient work. For the second time, however, he re fused the honor and remained a priv ate. At the expiration of his term he came back to this country and wan dered to the famous Death valley aad from there to the Tonopah district from which he was lured in the late fall by the call of the gridiron.
