COLUMBUS, NEB.
Be Square.
The young man who is tempted to
depart from the straight path is apt
to imagine that to get and spend
stolen money is an easy way to live.
But it is, in fact, the hardest way ot
all. The awful consciousness of guilt
presses continually down upon the
mind. There is a ghost of remorse
and apprehension at every feast, a
knife thrust of guilty consciousness in
every moment of otherwise happy
hours with those who love and trust
the unworthy one a silent but un
banishable companion of rebuke and
condemnation in every time of soli
tude the last thought at night, the
first in the morning, the terrifying
dream of troubled and disjointed
sleep. Indianapolis Star.
Poets' Wills.
Famous poets make interesting
wills. Browning's was written in his
own beautiful hand, with the initials
of all the nouns substantive in capi
tals, after the olden use; and the at
testing witnesses were "A. Tennyson"
and "P. T. Palgrave." Matthew Ar
nold's, also referred to, was remarka
ble for its brevity. A baker's dozen of
words were deemed enough: "I leave
everything of which I die possessed to
my wife Frances Lucy." This, how
ever, because no executor was ap
pointed, had to be set aside for letters
of administration; but the result was
the same. These two famous wills
form, with Shakespeare's, the most
notable trio perhaps ever handled by
probate in England.
A Hopeless Case.
"Why don't you reprove your titled
son-in-law- for his reckless expend
itures?" "Because," answered Mr.
Comrox, "it's bad enough to see him
wasting my money without wasting
my time."

Highways of France No Place for
Pedestrian Who Would Move
in a Hurry.
The highways of France are broad
and shaded, her innkeepers neither
exclusive nor intrusive; yet even here
pedestrianism has its drawbacks. Chief
among them are the-railway crossings.
The French system of protection
against accidents is effective, no
doubt, but if monsieur the Frenchman
were as impatient a being as the
American, the mortality would be lit
tle lessened, for tbe delay involved at
these "traverses du chemin de fer"
would choke with rising choler as
many as might come to grief at an
unprotected crossing.
On either side of the track is a
ponderous "barriere," the opening and
shutting of which would be slow un
der the best of circumstances. Being
always tended by a colossal "barrie
riere" (gate woman), who moves with
the stately grace of a house being
raised on jack screws, the barricade
is unduly effective. Ten minutes be
fore a train 'is due la barrieriere hoists
herself erect, waddles across the track
to draw the farther gate, closes the
nearer one and, having locked them
both, returns to the shade of her cot
tage. The train may be an hour late,
but that is beside the question. Thi3
is the time that madame is hired to
lock the gates, and locked they must
remain until the train has passed.
Woe betide tbe intrepid voyager who
tries to' climb over them, for her
tongue is sharp and the long arm of
the law is arrayed on her side.
U
VIOLIN EASILY AT THE HEAD
Peculiar Qualities Have Caused It to
Be Crowned King of Musical
Instruments.
Restricted as is its range of dyn
amics, the violin has had for its votar
ies men of such widely different tern
perinents as Paganini and Spohr, Will
helmj and Sarasate, Joachim and
Ysaye. Its literature does not com
pare with that of the piano, for which
Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin
and Brahms have written their
choicest music;, yet the intimate na
ture of the violin, its capacity for pas
sionate emotion, crowns it and not
the organ, with its mechanical tonal
effects as the king of instruments.
Nor does the voice make the peculiar
ly poignant appeal of the violin. Its
lowest note is the G below the treble
clef, and its top note a mere squeak;
but it seems in a few octaves to have
imprisoned within its wooden walls
a miniature world of feeling even in
the hands of a clumsy amateur it has
the formidable power of giving pain;
while in the grasp of a master it is
capable of rousing the soul. James
Huneker, in Everybody's.
Tea Table Etiquette.
Tea table etiquette was somewhat
complicated in the days of that "har
dened and shameless tea drinker,"
Dr. Johnson, when many people
thought nothing of drinking ten or
twelve cups at a sitting. It was con
sidered proper for the cups and sau
cers of a party of tea drinkers to be
all passed up to the hostess in one
batch when replenishment was con
sidered necessary, and in order that
each person might be sure of getting
back the right cup the teaspoons were
numbered.
When the cups were passed up those
who did not require any more were
supposed to place the spoon in the
cup. This writer remembers a very
ancient dame teaching a small boy to
place his spoon in his cup after the
first cup had been emptied. He won
dered for the reason. Now he knows
that tea was once very expensive and
little boys were not expected to ask
again.
Trees as Educators.
More children are trudging along
the country roads to the country
schools than are walking on paved
streets in cities attending the city pub
lic schools. There is a liberal educa
tion along the country road if only
right use be made of right material
It is the writer's firm belief that the
physical condition of the country
schoolhouse and grounds must be
greatly improved if we expect the
early training of the country child
will give it wholesome appreciation
of all that is richest and best in coun
try life. All this can be done with
but small expenditure of money. Trees
do not- cost much, neither do flowers,
vines and shrubbery. While the ex
penditure of money for paint is econ
omy and the expenditure of money tc
make a schoolroom sanitary is hu
ane. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Change of Evils.
Wife "Do come with me to call on
the Joneses; they'll make you feel

then, what on earth is the-use of go

tive work?" "No; destructive. He's
