It is just as easy to be good and receive favors as to be otherwise. John Bums is something of a joker. That is, when he has time to think about it. One day last week he ran across an article in a newspaper which told about' a new rale in the Catholic church which will require those wishing their approa ching marriage announced in church to reduce it to writing. In the evening a young man of our town, who has of late been showing "symptoms," went into the store and John told him that he had something of great importance to show him. He lit the lantern and led the way .down cellar and around behind thepo tatoe bin, into the farthermost corner, took the paper out of his pocket and in a very subdued tone read this article to the young man. Later in the evening he repeated the performance with an other, "suspect." He has not been lick ed yet, bat if he continues this line of smartness he is quite liable to get him self disliked.

He was too busy to stop to look after it till the chores were done. He -has had considerable trouble with it since then. The doctor had to open up the wound. Ed. Snider sent the editor a little box of oats all the way from New Norway, Alta, Canada. In a note he says he raised 3700 bushels in 1996 and 2918 last year. They weigh 126 pounds to the sack. We turned the little box over to Geo. Woods, jr., with instructions to cultivate most carefully and see if he can't lay the foundation for a fortune. Oats that will weigh twice as much ss our oats here ought to be worth a fancy price. Earl Kenfield and Lulu Watts came to town Wednesday morning and called at the M. E. parsonage long enough to have Dr. Sisson pronounce the words that made them husband and wife. The couple then returned to the home of the bride's parents east of town, where a good dinner and a hearty reception was awaiting them. We wish these young people happiness and prosperity.

His story about California is not very cheerf uL He says there are 30,000 men out of employment in Oak land alone. When the employment bureau opens up of a morning you can't get within a block of the door. In San Francisco people have quit riding on the street can. Many have been taken off and those that run do not earn half what they formerly did. There is nothing like sticking close to old Nebraska where we raise-plenty of food so it work doss play out a fellow can surely get enough to keep from starving. CEHTBAL CRT.

As a great preacher once said, uMan is continually looking for his lost inherit ance of happiness, which the allegory of the Gardes of Eden prefigures.

From the Co-Eds' Joke Factory. Out at the University of Chicago the woman's dormitories have developed fountain heads of humor from which wit springs as spontaneously as oil from John D. Rockefeller's wells hi Indiana, says the Chicago Examiner. Most of the "gags" at the-founder's 2xpense are suspected to have ema nated from this source. Recently the co-eds have evolved a new jest, or, rather, a new version of an old one, which starts off like this: "Why is' J. Plerpont Morgan like Pharaoh's daughter?" Of course, the ordinary low-bred re plies: "I dunno; why Is J. Plerpont Mor gan like Pharaoh's daughter?" Then comes the reply: "J. Plerpont Morgan is like Pharaoh's daughter because they each found a little prophet In the rushes oa the banks." Wemsn as Scientists.
