GROCERIES
THAT SPEAK
for themselves, as ours 'do, need
little praising. We might well be
pardoned for being enthusiastic
about them. But all we say is
Once you do that we will not have
to coax you for a second. Our gro
ceries will speak for themselves on
your table. You'll be sorry you
hadn't started trading here before.

j Louis Boubinek of Clarkson visited
with old friends here last Saturday
.afternoon. It was his first visit to How
ells since his return from Oklahoma and
he devoted a part of his time to telling
how he was not "stuck" on that country
and how he thinks more of Nebraska
than ever.
Anton Kunhart and wife were at Co
lumbus Friday and Saturday visiting
the lady's father, John Ciha, who is
receiving treatment at St. Mary's hos
pital in that city. It seems that he slip
ped on a sidewalk at Schuyler one day
the fore part of last week and had the
bone in his right hip broken. As he is
past seventy years of age it is feared
that he will never regain the use of his
limb.
,A farmer living north of town was
awakened a few nights ago by the bark
ing of his dogs, and getting up to inves
tigate saw a man lying in his hog pen.
Upon his approach the fellow got up and
attempted to get away, but was soon

The supreme court has handed down
an opinion to the effect that the levying
of an occupation tax upon a business
does not bar a municipality from later
exacting a licence fee from the proprie
tor of that business.
People who are in the habit of looking
through other peoples windows after
dark had better break themselves of
such a bad habit, whether they mean
harm or not, as we learn that a certain
lady in the southern part of town came
near taking a shot at a young man a few
nights ago for indulging in such work.
Bishop BichardScannell of the Catho
lic diocese of northern Nebraska, has
made a ruling for his diocese that all

untrue, aa the young lady waa his cousia

A farmer writes to an exchange:
"When I am ready to sell my stuff I in
sert a little advertisement ia the paper
telling them what I have to sell and if
live stock, how many head of each, and
when they will be ready to ship. The
result has been that the buyers are right
after me, either personally or by mail,
and naturally I always get the highest
price. If I waat to buy a cow, a ateer,
a horse or a docea of each, I insert a
little ad that costs me maybe twenty-five
or thirty cents, and instead of traveling
over the country inquiring of my neigh
bora who has this or that for sale, the
newspaper does it for me at less expense,
and those who have what I want manage
to let me know ia some way. I have
saved time and expense of traveling
aimlessly about, andget a better selec
tion to choose from." ..

Ruby Robert Gives Oemenstratlon
Much to His Sorrow.
Ruby Robert Fltxatasmoas la al
ways ready and willing to illustrate
before sportiag men just how he
knocked -Jim Corbett oat at Carson
City with his memorable solar plexus
punch. Not- so-magjr years ago his
former manager, Percy Willams; bow
a well-known theatrical magnate,
asked Fits to show a number of
friends just how Cdrbett was anni
hilated. Robert was In fine form
then, as he was traiaiag for a fight
at the time.
He promptly complied with the re
quest by calling apoaReggy Williams,
a brother of ats maaagan to stand up
aad be a victim. Reggy, however,
had been there before aad knew the
power of the Corntshman's blows, so
he waa not overeager to take part in
the exhibition. So he said to Robert'
"Wait a minute. Bob, Until I go and
get a stiff bracer, for I aeed courage."
"All right," replied Fitrslmmons.
with a grin, "but hurry." Reggy
stepped over to the bar. took a nip.
and then picking up a thick board he
slipped It under taa vest. Then' ae
came back with the remark:
"Go ahead. Bob, but not too hard."
Fits jumped' about, feinUag and
sparring off' like a real fighter.' Then
Robert shot out, hi terrible left ana;
hit the mark with a crash. It sbtuded
like a blow on a board fence with" a.,
sledge hammer, and. though Wllluuus
was' knocked down, he 'jumped up
quickly" and' laughed, until his ' sides
shook. Fits was dancing around oh
one foot, with his left .hand under bis
arm and a look of Intense pain on his
face.
"What's the matter. BobT' asked
Percy Williams, who waa aext to the
trick.
"What's the mattefr roared the
angry Coralshlaan. "Why, aw bloom
ing 'and .Is smashed! That funny
brother of yours 'as a sheet of iron

Fits was 'a mark then for a lot of
guying, but the joke was a 'serious
one. for his left hand was la poultices
for six weeks.
Animals Without Moral Sense.
Prof. Schuster asserts that animals
lack moral feeling entirely, none of
their acts being immoral or moral, in
the broad sease. and that they have no
trace of a sense of shame or of honor.
Their courage, he declares, is "a mere
impulse of nature," and of moral cour
age they know nothing. He continues:
"And animals have no pride. In the
sense of man's conception of that
quality. They are not proud of their
kind, of their kindred, of their indi
viduality. They neither have aa In
dividuality nor are Individual. Aal
mals are not proud because they have
m, consciousness of the. scope, of .the
value of their kind, of their enterprise
or of any other form of their capabil
ity; they are -neither supercilious,
proud, nor the" contrary, that Is,
grieved, wounded or depressed in re
gard to a possible pride."
Praises English Jurisprudence.
Elbridge L. Adams of Rochester,
N. Y a lawyer, who has made a study
of British jurisprudence, surprised his
colleagues at the annual meetiag of
the New York State Bar assodatloa
when he made a comparison between
the American aad Enlist methods ot
legal procedure. He asserted that Si
judges of the supreme court -of Eag
land. with a population of 32.QM.0jW,,
disposed of as much business' each
year as 98 judges of the supreme court
in New York state, with 'a population
of 8,000.000. "In addition to this.! said
Mr. Adams, "these English judges do
Just as much work' as the federal
judges in New York state. The ob;
ject of the English rules Is to provide
the best, the quickest and the simplest
methods."
Pet Dog Buried with Honors.
Lassie, a high-bred collie dog that
was descended from an animal prized
by Queen Victoria, was Interred with
nearly all the honors usually accord
ed a human being in Baltimore, the'
other day. Lassie was a fine, large,
intelligent animal, and the pride' and
pet of the neighborhood. Owing to
the affection in whlch.Lassie was'held,
unusual care was taken in the dog's
burial. A zinc-lined, box was, nude
by an undertaker, which had been up?
hol8tered and had satin trimmings.
The box was hermetically sealed. Lais-
aie was a direct descendant .of Sailor,
the pet collie of Queen Victoria. Sailor
was the subject of a poem writtea by
Tennyson.

REBUKED THE GREAT WRITER.
American Was Not Awed "by Greochy
Poet Laureate.
A writer in Harper's Weekly brings
to light an interesting anecdote .'of
Tennyson which well Illustrates the
singular habits of the great laareatb
In his intercourse with his friends.
The poet was not only brusque aad
rough, but he was domineering aad
exacting, and most other mea were
afraid of him. But an American
schoolmaster who for many, years
maintained a great intimacy with him
had no fear in his heart, and sat aad
smoked on an equality with the sover
eign singer by Farringford fireside.
"One evening." says the writer,
"when -the two were thus together.
Tennyson jaid that he would depart
from his custom and narrate a per
sonal experience; but he had suffered
a good deal from repetitions of his
tales by those to whom he had told
them, and he would be obliged to ask
his' friend never to repeat what he
was about to hear. The American
smoked on for a few seconds while
Tennyson waited for the promise, and
then he said: 'My lord. In my coun
try a gentleman would never make
that request of another gentleman.'
'H-h-mJ' said the poet, analeeked
out of eyes that wondered If the
quiet smoker opposite knew how much
he'd said. Then he told the. story."
