John Pfeifer's large barn northwest of town was burned to the ground last Thursday evening. As we understand one of the boys was up in the hay mow with a lantern, when on some account it exploded and set the hay on lire. A number of the Humphrey firemen re sponded to a call for help but by the time they got to the scene of the fire it was under such headway that they were unable to be of any assistance farther than to keep the other buildings from burning. The barn was a large one and was filled with hay so the loss to Mr. Pfeifer is quite large as he had no in surance; the insurance which he carried on the barn runniog out only a few days prior to the fire.

From the News-Journal. A smooth check writer dropped into town recently and got in his work. It was Saturday evening Aug. 15, when the banks were closed that he did the job. He went to Penny & Bryaon'a and made a few purchases and tendered a check for $15 signed by Tom O. Porter to Dell Lucas. The check was drawn on the Bank of Belgrade. The fellow endorsed the check and departed. He then went to Diers Bros, and after buy ing a pair of shoes and a suit of under wear tendered them a $10 oheok drawn as above. It was taken by one of the clerks and again&e received his change. The checks were sent to Omaha in the due course of business and passed through the clearing house and back to Belgrade, where the fraud was of course at onoe detected. It is said the fellow was about 35 years old, six foot tall and smooth shaven. He will probably never be heard of again in these parts. BBUWOOD. From the Gazette. If your potatoes are rotting, don't be in a hurry to dig them. Let them stay in the ground till they get through rot ting. The first cold days will usually put an end to the rot.

"You know blamed well that. when you want any money all you have to do is to ask me for It," said the mar ried man with some heat. "My dear!" said his wife. "You can say 'my dear! as -much as you like, but yoa can't deny it -Will," you tell me of any time I have refused you?" "I think I could tell-you of -a -number of times that you have," said his wife. "Don't yom remember" "I suppose you are going to say that In 1868, on June -17, at 7:32 p..m., I wouldn't let yoa have .ten. cents that you needed. You're great on ringing up dates on a man. No. I don't re member, and you don't remember, either. If you didn't get what you wanted it was because I didn't have if "That's just like a man. In the first place, we wern't married in June, 1868. I wasn't born then, so It Isn't very likely that I would be asking you for money. In the second place, that's what you always say that you haven't got It." "I always say that, do I?" "Well, nearly always." "If I kept on at you you'd say, fre quently,' and then you'd get to 'occa sionally,' and by the time I'd Insisted for an hour or two I'd get you pinned down to something 'that approached the actual fact But I'm not going to Insist on anything. I'm the original tightwad, if you're bound to have it that way." "You know that I never accused you of being stingy." "O, no, I'm not stingy. I'm Just naturally opposed to giving up a cent." "I never said that." "It seems to me you've Intimated it pretty strongly. All the same, I gc back to my original statement and stand by It. If you want any money all you have to do Is to ask It 1 take It for granted, If you don't ad vise me to the contrary, that you have a balance on hand." "Very well, then," said his wife. "Please give me $100, and when that's gone I'll ask you for some more." The married man gasped. "A hun dred dollars!" he exclaimed. "What on earth do you want with $100 You're Joking." "There you are," said his wife. "What did I tell you?" "Well, great Scott!" said the man. "I suppose I might be excused If I ask what you want a sum like that for You can have It of course. It doesn't matter whether I meet my business obligations or not Only, I should like to know where the money Is going." "Very well, then," said his wife. 'Til tell you. I've got to pay the seam stress for two weeks' sewing. That will take $24. Then we've got to have some new sheets and pillow cases. If I buy the stuff and have them made it will cost me a little less than If I buy them ready made, but they can't be much less than 75 cents apiece the way cotton goods have gone up. A dozen at 75 cents each would be let me see well, the sheets would cost nine dollars, and the pillow cases about five dollars more. How mucb does that make? Thirty-eight dollars I've got to have two or three pairs of gloves. You were remarking how shabby my gloves were looking -the-last time you took me out I can get along with two pairs for the present perhaps, but the gloves will cost five or six dollars.

"Greatest catch I ever had," he de clared In describing his day.. "I won a box of cigars In betting a friend he never had equaled It and he's some thing of a record producer himself. "How did I prove it? That's easy We trolled nearly all day in the vlcln ity of the wreck of the Rlckmers the oil steamer that was stranded a fort night before. Say, we pulled up 11 big cans of oil on our lines. Pretty fair, wasn't It? Just as If we had caught a whale only easier." General Clean-Up. Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor dog a bone. "She'll find It bare, all right," sighed the dog. "How do you know?" asked the cat "She hasn't opened it yet."

Then'the Necessity-for Economy Made Them of Value, To-day the Sav ing of Time Is More to Be Considered. Many a middle aged woman remem bers the handy pin cushion that hung by the window in her grandmother's kitchen and another that stood on the sitting-room table all bristling- with steel heads and eyes. The first cushion was likely to be heart shaped and cov ered 'with red flannel, and the other made over a glass pedestal or a brick. The brick pin cushion, which betrayed its foundation only In Its shape, was very useful for holding the end of a long seam such as were then sewed by hand, and along its sides were rows of blunts and sharps and favorite darn ing needles, for in those days, before one could buy needles and 'pins for a penny a paper on bargain days, a needle was used a long time before ac cident happened to it Once in a year or two the brick was uncovered and the stuffed top taken apart carefully to recover the various valuable needles that had slipped out of sight I thought of all this when my friend showed me what she called "a Mary Wilkins cushion," because, as she said, all the old ladies that she remembered in her old New England home used to keep one like It standing In a corner of the window sill. These cushions were either round like an ap ple or pointed like a strawberry or a pineapple, and each was made over what was once the base or stem of a glass goblet. The covering was gen erally a piece from somebody's dress, and had a story of its own. while round the base was a quilting of silk snipped In points along the. edge or else it was a scrap of narrow fringe so much used in those days for dress trimming. The housewife bore the breakage of a glass with greater fortitude when she thought of the possibilities of the wreckage for pin cushion material; the lower part of a broken glass was often a welcome gift from friend to friend Even now it is probable that there are stored 'on upper' -shelves in some old houses "such fragments that were in tended by thrifty matrons for making the cushions which had the homely beauty 'that belongs to things which are frankly useful. Modern pin tray and much bedecked creations that are kept up stairs on dressing tables, but which you must not stick a pin into, will never supplant them In conveni ence. Chicago Inter-Ocean. A Change in Dress. To make more attractive the ever useful potato salad, try a different style in dressing. Take a dash of salt and of pepper, one tablespoon finely cut parsley, one teaspoon grated onion, with two tablespoons olive oil or butter. Mix all with four tablespoons vinegar. Slice one quart of boiled po tatoes '(not too thick), pour over them the mixture, and let stand an hour. Instead of the onion some like celery, diced, or celery seed a sprinkle. In summer add sliced cu cumbers or hard-boiled eggs. All these add variety. Pieces of lemon garnish It well.

"My son." said the head of the fam- ily after he had read all the sporting news, "here is a good thing for you to remember. I give It to you out of the store of my experience. Had I under- stood It at your years It would have saved me a good many mistakes: "Always notice the way your friends laugh. By their laugh you may know their character. "The laughter of human beings Is based on the vowels. If a man laughs ' In A the open tone of A which is ah then he is frank and honest, a little fond of noise and excitement, perhaps, and perhaps of a somewhat fickle dis position; but at any rate honest You can trust him, son. "Those who laugh in E pronounced ay are melancholy. Those who laugh in I pronounced ee are gleeful. Chil dren most often use that tone, as do the simple, the obliging, the affection ate, the timid and the undecided folks. "When your mother asks me if I am going to the club again and I laugh, using the ee sound, it is not because I am timid, but because I am unde cided. It is well to make a note of these things. "Those who laugh roundly in O are generous and inclined to be of a dar ing nature, the former of which is a good thing, son, and the latter very bad for little boys. "Never trust a man who laughs in U. He's a scamp. The gas man laughs in U. Yes, indeed, after you grow up you will notice these things." "Yes, Willie," said the lady of the house from the other side of the table, "remember what your father says, because to-morrow night he will want you to repeat it to company and. say he told you. But for your own in struction I will tell you an easier way to pick out nice people than that some what complicated method mentioned by your dad. "Notice the thing that makes men or women laugh. Never mind how they laugh or In what vowel sound they do It. Find out the thing that creates the laughter. "If it is really a funny thing they are all right. If it is some predicament that some one else is in or some idea that is not kindly or gentle, then they are not all right. And, Willie. It Is about time you went to bed now."
