There appears to have been ao ground for the suspicion that Peter Miller, the man found fatally iejured 6a the Union Pacific tracks aear Clarke last week, was the victim of foal play. The coroner's jury decided that he came to his death from falling from No. 8, the eastbound Los Angeles Limited. There is some un certainty as to whether he fell from No. 8 or No. 2, it being reported that the train crew on the former train woald apt let him board their train because he was intoxicated aad that later he caught No. 2 as it was leaviag Grand Island aad was compelled to cling to the railing of one of the coaches antil the porter saw him and admitted him to the car.

This is the second time Boche has faced t.ial fo'r killing a fellow being, and it would seem that he has more luck than the average man who has committed orimes of this kind, in getting off so easily. Perry Brown, quite well known to many Humphrey young people, was killed by the accidental discbarge of a shot gun in hi9 own hands near Creston Wednesday afternoon. It appears that the young man was out hunting and while crawling through a barbed wire fence near town the trigger of the gun caught on one of the barbs and dis charged the gun, the Jead taking effect in the lower part of his, face.

"It is hard to take a back seat and see the younger generation occupying the front ones," says a millionaire's vidow, who is not through being youthful, though she has two grown up daughters. She admires the "fine restraint" which wealthy French moth ers exercise over the dressing of their young daughters, and she wishes more of this maternal mastery could be seen in this country. "Until she is mar ried, if that event takes place when she is young," says the widow, "la jeune fille is dressed almost as if she were a schoolroom child. Supposing she remains unwed at 21, she is still dressed after a uniform plan, so that her mother may continue to dress youthfully yet have toilets entirely different in style from her daugh ter's." Exchange. Doing Chores. To dig one's own potatoes, to shock, one's own corn, to pick one's own apples, to pie one's own squashes at one's own barn! It is like filling one's system with an antitoxin before going into a fever-plagued country. One is immune to winter after this, -provided he stays to bake his apples in his own wood fire. One works him self into a glow with all his digging, and picking and piling that lasts until warm weather comes again; and along with this harvest glow comes stealing over him the after-harvest peace. It is the serenity of Indian summer, the mood' of the after-harvest season, upon ' him upon him and his fields and woods. Dallas Lore Sharp, in Atlantic. Advertising for One Penny.

For safe keeping he put it la a crack in the .house, and it fell down between the partitions. When the old house was torn down two years ago Mr. Alvord found it, after it. had been lost more than 65 years. Now it it lost again. TOLD AFTER DINNER ALL KINDS. OP NONSENSICAL ANICDOTCS GO THEN. "Jenes ef elham' a Goad Exampt f What Can Se Dene in That - ' Respect New Version ef the Fatted Calf. People like nonsense after dinner They like anecdotes." The best of anec dotes Is that they aeed have nothing to do with the subject I know a man who keeps about half a dozen anec dotes always la stock. He can make one or the other of them fit any par ticular toast. I heard him propose "The Army and Navy." He said that some people took a gloomy view ol our national defeases. For himself, he was an optimist. It .was always best to look at the bright side of every thing. 'That reminds me." he said, "of my friend Jones Jones of Belham His motto is that there la always some thing to be thankful for. His wife is not of such a cheerful disposition. She is often Vuiaoyed at Jones' optimism "One day they were dining at a res taurant, aad they had placed before them a very tough piece of veal. It was an exceptionally tough piece of veal. "There, said Mrs. Jones, 'now I think it would puzzle even you to find anything to be thankful for in that piece of veal., " 'Not a bit of it,' said Joaes, 1 was just at that very moment thinking how fortunate It was that we hap pened to meet it when It was young.' " Some time afterward I was at an other dinner. It was the dinner of a scientific society. This same man was present again, aad he was put up to propose the toast of "Success to Aerial Navigation." 'This is a tremendous question to deal with," he said, "but we must make the best of things, aad I hope .you will bear with me while I try to make the best of it. It is such a tough subject that It reminds me of the piece of veal which waa oace placed before my friend Jones Joaes of Belham.". And out came the story of Jones of Belham again; and it was quite a hit. . So much so that he followed it up with another. Whereat the men of science gave encouraging cheers and said "Co on!" for "after dinner" makes the whole world kin, and it is just as safe to play wlth the lions of learning when they .have been well fed as with any of the Inferior animals. "'This calf, my friends.' said the preacher, 'was no ordinary calf. This calf, forsooth, was a fatted calf. And mark you. It was no ordinary fatted calf. This calf, my friends, had been fatted up for years, and years, and years. "" ,. Here is another dinner story: Two men, who had been dining so well that they could see twice as much as two ordinary men, were rather Imprudent ly walking home by the canal bank. Very soon one of them fell into the water. This sobered him to some ex .tent, and he began to yell out at the top of his voice: - "Hi hi! Help;, help! I can't swim! Help! I can't swim." The other man, who had gone down on his knees on the bank and- was trying to steady himself by holding Itightly to a tuft of grass, surveyed his struggling friend with a glassy stare. "I can't sh-wlm. either," he said, "but I don't make such a b-b-blooming tuaa about it." Speeding Up." It Is idle to" criticise at large the American business man's -habit- of overwork. But a single aspect of this ruinous habit merits comment. The .American business man does not want money itself. He wants to "get there." to "get there" for his own, his wife's sake, his family's sake. The full price of "getting there" he does not always calculate. The man who works fast, many hours a day, six or seven days a week, is not merely paying in sheer energy to "get there." He eats too much, possibly drinks too much, does not take exercise, but he pays in more than physical detriment. He is doing more than Ill-treating his body in such a way as he would never dream of ill treating his automobile or his factory dynamo. Above everything else, the American business man is "getting there" at the expense of rounded de velopment, at the expense of life itself and of its large and rich experiences. Failed to Relieve. Oa the mighty deep. The great ocean liner rolled and, pitched. "Henry," falterqd the young bride, "do you still love me?" "More than ever, darling!" waa Henry's fervent answer. Then there was an eloquent silence. "Henry," she gasped, turning her pale, ghastly face away, "I thought that would make me feel better, but it doesn't" Air Purified by Curtains. Dr. J. Brown, the medical officer of health of Bacup. has drawn attention to the usefulness of muslin curtains In filtering tne air of rooms, says the London Globe. The' amount of solid air removed from the air by muslin window cur tains has surprised him. As he says, they are cheap aad easily washed, and should be changed frequently. One condition he advocates but does not Insist on is that they should not be dressed or ironed. The Proper Term. Knox You and Dr. Jones are part ners, are you not? Dr. Smith Oh. no.
