COLUMBUS, NEBRASKA. Reluctant Obedience. wise pupp being told to lie down Is a certain place will obey meekly at the moment,. ad then, waiting until fcls master's 'attention is diverted, will slip slowly away from his post. His relnctance to stay where he Is told Is not based on a dislike of the spot, for lie will often select it for himself bat purely on his prejudice against obedi ence as such. So the child loves to assert his freedom, by doing what he would consider a serious hardship if he were compelled to do it. A keen seat la added to' play it it is close to the edge of the forbidden. Like many of the naughtinesses of human kind, desire for the unpermitted underlies the great, advances of the race. Erect a barrier, and the child and the man Ions to climb over it, says the Youth's Companion. The Impassable moun tain, the unsailed ocean, the mysteri ous law of nature, the infinitely dis tant star these are so many irresist ible magnets to the pioneer, and they lead him, through what we may truly call an audacious disobedience, to new worlds and new triumphs of mind over matter. "Why are the cows always getting out of the pasture?" asked the schoolmistress of the old farmer. "Wal, I suppose it's because they want to be where they ain't!" A glorious impulse, which climbs from brute to man and so on, to the heights of future development! The puppy, the. cow, the child, the pioneer, the man of science alike may glory in their reluctant and temporary obedi ence to the voice which says, "Stay here!" Bookless Homes. College teachers report almost in credible ignorance of standard litera ture among classes that come up to secure tLJ higher education. An ex amination of the minds of many fresh men brings to light cavities of appal ling magnitude; young men from well-to-do homes arrive at the college gates without any of the passwords which admit men to educated society. They have r hazy idea that the Bible is an old book which belongs with "The New England Primer" on the dusty shelves where obsolete publications are put out of the way. They have heard of Shakespeare, but are under the im pression that he was a popular novel ist They have no knowledge of Col. Esmond, Mr. Pickwick, Sir Roger de Coverley, Miles Coverdale, or Evan geline. They know something about Rip Van Winkle because they have been to the theater, and for the same reason they are not without impres sions of Hamlet, though they fail to associate his tragic career with Shake speare. The examination papers in English are sometimes far more amusing than the journals which make joking a profession. If it were not for the entrance requirements, says the Outlook, some students who knock at college doors would be as in nocent of knowledge of the literature which is supposed to be the common possession of educated men as if they had just arrived from Mars. . . . Bookless homes are merely boarding houses for neglected children. It may be that science and the doc tors will yet prevail on man to steril ize the tempting lips of his lady love before kissing her, but if the latter were consulted she would prefer to have him bring along his barber tools unless he comes with a fresh shave. A Chicago girl has had a man arrest ed for making her cheeks sore by kissing her while -he was in an un razored condition. It is very annoy ing to the tender and confiding young woman who has read about kisses in the books suddenly to have a shoe brush shoved against her face, says Chicago Daily News, and to be ex pected to like that sort of thing. There is room for reform in kissing, but the kisses and not the scientist should say what the reforms should be. The Seattle university professor who is advising the young men of his classes not to marry until the cost of living Is lower, has put thimself into direct conflict with the Roosevelt gos pel of anti-race suicide. Moreover, he is wasting his breath. The chances are that numbers of his young men are already engaged to "coeds" and .will cheerfully marry on nothing a year before next Christmas. Even the shadow of the dollar, says the Cleve land Leader, can not extinguish young love and hope, and fortunate it is for the world that this is so. f There was never a better time than now for the study and practice of sci entific dieting.

GOOD TO EMPLOYES UNCLE SAM TREATS HIS WORK ERS GENEROUSLY. '" In Matters of Vacations and Sick Leave He Might Be Termed. "Easy" Policy of Retrench ment a Failure. - . It,costs Uncle Sam in the neighbor hood of $6,000,000 annually for the leisure of his employes. Not many employers treat their employes so generously.' In fact not-many could afford to do so. There are on the gov ernment payroll about 55,000 em ployes, and their annual salaries ap proximate about $60,000,000. Most of these employes are entitled to 30 days' vacation annually. They are also al lowed to take 30 days1 sick leave an nually on full pay. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the employes take' their vacations regularly, and many take their full 30 days sick, leave. A treasury official with whom sta tistics are a hobby has made. a careful computation, and says that more than $6,000,000 of good government funds go for "loafing spells" of em ployes. As he figures it the govern ment work could be done with one twelfth less the present number of employes easily. Or, taken In another form, the present force can do all the government work In llmonths, prob ably' in ten, for which they now re recive the 12 months' pay. He also suggests that if the government work was' done by contract it could be done for three-fourths the present cost "There Is one remarkable feature about this vacation business," said he, "and that Is that the more salary a man draws the longer vacation he takes. The ordinary employes get 30 days' annuual and 30 days' sick leave, if they can supply a doctor's certifi cate. Many heads of departments take from three to four months, and do' not' have to account to anybody. It's a case where the little fish get the worst of it as usual. But the sub ordinate employes have no complaint when compared to employes of rail roads and other concerns which are large employers of labor." When confronted with the vast sum paid out for leisure, government of ficials say the payroll is just the same whether the employes worked ten months or 12; that there are just so many people to do the work and just so much work to be done; that if they do it in ten months Uncle Sam is none the loser. Still, when a railroad or other big employer of labor finds that five-sixths of its present force of employes can do all the work it doesn't hesitate to discharge the other sixth. Uncle Sam is not so harsh. He discharges an employe now and then for unfaithfulness, but never simply because the employe has nothing to do. Some time ago Secretary Garfield began a "retrenchment" policy In the department of the interior. He abol ished two or three divisions in his of fice and sent the work to the Indian bureau and general land office. But many clerks in the division which he abolished were transferred to the Indian bureau or land office, and sev eral of them had their salaries In creased. Another illustration is given. At the recent session of congress an ef fort was made, in the interests of economy, to wipe out all the outside pensioners from the Washington bu reau. When sifted down it was found that the bureau Intended to bring all the clerks at the outside offices to Washington at the same or increased salaries. Figures were produced to show that instead of being in the In terests, of economy it would really cost the government more, so the sen ate defeated the bill Good Fishing Around Capital. The ancient and fascinating pastime of angling has many votaries in Wash ington, who find ample opportunities these days to gratify their hobby. This does not apply to the game fishermen, the experts with fly and casting rod, but to the common every day garden worm fisherman, who with line and sinker angles for white perch and cat fish. On a pleasant day it will be pos sible to see a thousand lines a-wetting from the Long bridge to the Chain bridge. There will be men and boys in boats, on the wharves and fishing from the sea wall and river and bank. And most of them catch something. This is the white perch season, but the fish are running small this year. The oldtimers say that the proper way to fish for white perch is to use a heavy sinker and fish on the bottom as the big perch swim deep. The catfiesh are biting and some fine specimens are caught They are good eating, too, as they are the blue chan nel cats, and they put up a fight almost as vicionsly as a big-mouth bass. Mystery in Shaving Day. "Well, we are going down Intc Southwest Washington to-night on a visit to my sister," said a woman pas senger on a Pennsylvania avenue cat in the .southeast section of the citj the other morning. She was address Ing a female friend, and the rejoindei was, "Oh, I know you will have a nice time." Then the first woman sighed and said: "Ton know he shaves on that day." The talk then branched off intc disjointed discussions as to best day to hang out the wash and what kino of soup to feed the children during the hot summer days, but the two young fellows who heard the first remark -are wondering bow often "he" has hit whiskers removed and why it is celo brated by a family gathering.

Amateur Gardener Could Net Under stand Why Seeds Did Net Sprout The woes of the amateur gardeaer are very amusing to others, but de cidedly real to the man who has spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his hands and lost his temper in his ef forts to make things grow. ' A young1' man, recently married, early in the spring secured a sub urban place, mainly with the idea of "fresh, home-grown vegetables. Every evening he would hurry through his supper and rush out to his garden, where he displayed more energy than skill But alas! When many little green things began to break the ground In his neighbors' gardens, his own remained as bare as the Sahara. "It certainly has got me beat" he confided to a friend at his office one day. "I can't understand why not a blessed thing has come up. I planted peas and corn and tomatoes." "Perhaps the seed were refective," Cie friend suggested. 'T hardly think it was that" the gardener replied, "for I got the very best paid 15 cents a can for them." LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED TRUST. Responsibilities of Officers and Di rectors. Evidently President Klngsley of the New York Life Insurance company has learned the great lesson of the times with respect to the responsibil ity and duty of directors of corpora tions. Speaking to the new board of trustees, on the occasion of his elec tion to the presidency, he emphasized the fact that "life insurance is more than, a private business, that life in surance trustees are public servants, charged at once with the obligations of public service and with the respon sibilities that attach to a going busi ness which at the same time must be administered as a trust" He also realizes that similar respon sibilities rest upon the officers of the company. "I understand," he says, "your anxiety in selecting the men who are day by day to carry this bur den for you, who are to discharge this trust In your behalf, who are to ad minister for the benefit of the people Involved the multitudinous and exact ing details to which it is impossible for you to give personal attention. My long connection with the New York Life covering nearly twenty years my service In about every branch of the company's working organization, gives me, as I believe, a profound ap preciation, not merely of the heavy burden you have placed on my shoul ders, but of the standards of efficiency, the standards of faith, the standards of integrity, which must be main tained at all times by the man who serves you and the policyholders In this high office." Best of all, perhaps, he feels that words are cheap, and that the public will be satisfied with nothing short of performance. "My thanks, therefore," he continues, "for an honor which out ranks any distinction within the reach of my ambition, cannot be expressed In words; they must be read out of the record I make day by day." PRIVILEGES OF A GENTLEMAN. Youngster Probably Will Change Ideas in Course of Time. There Is a small boy in this town, says the Baltimore American, the son of a rather distinguished lawyer, who has decided opinions on what constitutes true aristocracy. One day recently a friend called upon his mother, and, while waiting for the hostess, was entertained by the small boy. "What are you going to do when you grow up?" was. the stereotyped question she propounded in the effort to start the conversation. "Oh, I am going to smoke." "Yes?" "And chew." "Oh!" "And gamble." "Indeed!" "And swear." "Really!" "And drink corn whisky." "And why are you going to do such things?" asked the visitor aghast "Oh, all southern gentlemen do them." Careful Public Guardian.

It Is just the food I have been looking for ever so long; something that I do not have to stop to prepare and still is nourishing." Grape-Nuts Is the most scientifically made food On the market It Is per fectly and completely cooked at the factory and can be served at an In stant's notice, either with rich cold cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish is desired. Whea milk or water is used, a little sugar should be added, but when cold cream is used alone the natural grape-sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, la suf ficiently sweet to satisfy the palate. This grape-sugar Is not poured over the granules, as some people think, hat exudes from the granules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains Is changed from starch to grape-sugar by the process of manufacture.
