Bryan sever bositates to predict, and hb predictions always go by contra ries. That reminds us that the great and glorious Fourth of July is cosaing around again and Columbus will cele brate this year, lor we did not cele brate last year. There is no better indication of the growth of any town than is shown by the bnsiness done at its post office. The gross receipts of the Columbus post office for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1907. are $1250. In July, 1897, when Mr. Kramer took posssminn of the office, the receipts were a trifle lew than $5,000 the pre ceding year. Every year shows a continual steady growth. . The Omaha Bee of April 4, pub lished the newly enacted stateprimary law in fall We would like to have some one explain its good points, and its advantages over our present elec tion laws. It is a great deal more complicated, and may be a good thing . for the lawyers. It is estimated that it will cost over $100,000 to the state and counties to enforce it It makes long campaigns necessary, and will undoubtedly provoke many contests. During the last state campaign in New York, Secretary Boot made a speech in which he severely denounced Hearst, the democratic candidate for governor. During the late city cam paign in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune printed Boot's speech. Mr. Hearst now sues the Tribune for libel and places hisdanmges at $2,500,000. The great wonder is, why does Hearst sue the Tribune and not Secretary Boot, and if Hearst's reputation is, as he claims, damaged to the extent of $200,000, how much has he left? We would say, not very much. Hearst is an unreliable demagogue. Of all the many local elections that took place during the first week in April, none attracted so much atten tion as t-e city election in Chicago. Mayor Basse, the republican nominee, who is now postmaster of Chicago, de feated Dunne, the present democratic mayor, by over 13,000 votes. Dunne stood for the public ownership of all the city street railways-and was elect ed on that issue two years ago by over 30,000 majority. Hearst and his ablest journalistic writers came to from New York to assist It is believed by many that this mixing in by outsiders had a good deal to do with bringing about Dunne's defeat Mai Harrington and Edgar Howard had sense enough to keep out f that fight. About two yean ago Harrimaa,the gnat railroad king, wrote a private fetter to a Mr. Webster, a friend of his. in which he stated that President Boosevek had asked Harriman to funds to assist in the elec- of the republican presidential This letter was stolen by the and sold to a New York and lately published. - Presi dent Boesevelt indignantly denies the truth of Harriamn's statement and nuts him in the liar column.

Heretofore when there have been land openings parties have filed upon n quarter sec tion onder the dd homestead law, aad filed upon the same in such a manner as to leave the rest of the section in an undesirable condition for anyone elee.

The man who watches the clock and disappears on the first stroke of twelve is a time server and lacks the spirit of a faithful employe. The man who refuses to nuke an extra effort to finish a task that means money to his employer if finished early is not one whose heart is in his work, neither is his mind, but his hands may be. He is earning less thin he gets. He is blocking the way of more efficient men and should get out He is the work ing tramp. He is destined to be an idler; It was a wise awn that said in the days of old, "Whatsoever your hand findeth to do, do it with all your might." It is a universal and ever lasting principle of fair dealing to yourself and to others. The man who skimps his task injures himself as well as his employer. Do with your might what you do, for if some reason, real or iasagiaary, you work with tardy bands, with a preoccupied mind and a sickened heart, you cheat yourself. Is it wise to fool one's self f Oeoi for hTaaee. gtfkroiMwi JummI There is, in round numbers, on de posit in the banks of Nance' county, $800,000. This is an enormous amount of money for five country banks to have on deposit about $80 for every man, woman and child in the county more money than was in the possession of the United Colonies at one time during the War of theBev- olution; an amount equal to the wealth Mr. Bryan hasarfumulatfd since he predicted calamity in the memorable campaign of 1906V Of this $800,000 on deposit $333,591.40 are in the national banks of Genoa, the balance in the banks of Fullerton and the bank at Belgrade. The total bank deposits of the state' amount to $63,000,000, about one-half of which is credited to the baaka of Omaha, leaving $31,500, 000 to the banks outside the state's metropolis. Thus, it will be seen, that Nance county, in comparison with other counties, stands near the head ia the bank deposit class. True to thoir Pleura.

It was late one sonny afternoon.

He was such a boy. Penelope almost loved him as she 1ade him good-by. Indeed, she did pull his big blond head down and kiss him gently, once. She was sorry she !had hurt him and she had not played fair. - Penelope was feeling decidedly ashamed of herself and decidedly out of sorts. She shut her eyes and, leaning against the rock, listened tsleeplly to the croon of the waves. Then she opened her eyes suddenly and looked up at the minister. Sue had not heard him, he came so quiet ly. Tet she had. known that he was there. That was a strange'thlng! - "I must go back,' she said, nerv ously. "Was Aant Lawrence looking for me?

"Not that I mind It I do lore pretty things, pretty dresses, and laces, and slippers, and hats. Good ness, to be poor! It must be awful!"

But Penelope could not "Pen, I can give you none of these. AU that I have is a bare Uring. and my love for yon. Pen Pen you could not be happy poor. I know it and yet" his voice shook and he stopped. Penelope put her hand to her ach ing throat In a flash she knew what this man meant to her. knew how empty everything would seem with out him. She would pretend no more. "One can nerer tell what one can do until one tries, you know," she whispered low. And then, somehow, she waa cry ing like a baby, held fast In his arms, so fast that she could not get away if she tried, and she did not want to try.
