A few days ago Win Sinnnrd lost his
new barn by tire. The children playing
with matches started a blaze in some
hay. His corn aud hay were burned
as well as the barn, which makes the loss
pretty heavy.
The story is told that once -a-bent-old-nian
was busy planting trees along a
country way when two young people
called out, "Say, old man, yon rnnnnt
hope to live to eat fruit from those trees
nor ait in the &hade of them; why do you
work so hard at so thanklths a iuk?
The old man straightened up hhwl and
resting heavily on the handle of his
spade replied, "All my life I have eaten
fruit and rested in the shade of trees
planted by others, and cannot I do as
muoh for those who follow me?"

While MiBses Nellie and Clara Ivrasch
were out driving Sunday afternoon their
horses became frightened at an automo
bile and ran away. They were thrown
out near the Folda ranch, but fortunate
ly escaped with only a few bruises.
Some people think it a mystery that
notwithstanding good advice their bojo
grow up to he wild and reckless young
men If these boys were taught from
infancy that home was the proper place
for them after dark, rather than prow
ling around the streets, annoying well
and sick people alike, much of this mys
tery might be explained, and young men
with better moral character and more
intelligent minds would be the result.
No parent need e.pect pure morals in a
boy that prowK the streets at night,
even if he does go to Sunday school.

Ah a tired child falls into peaceful
sleep, so passed the spirit of Fritz Sch
roeder to the better world, death having
entered the family home in Midland pre
cinct on Friday last. The deceased was
a native of Germany, having been born
in that country more than eighty-six
years ago. In the early seventies he and
his wife, with their children left the land
of their birth and came to America to
make their home in Colfax county.
When they took their homestead that
section of this county was but thinly
settled, and it was their lot to go through
all the hardships and privations of the
pioneer 'days. Undaunted they faced
every trial and overcame every obstacle,
till succees crowned their efforts and
their declining years have been spent in
the midst of plenty and the comforts
that it brings. The kindly old man a
model citizen and a kind and consider
ate husband and father will long be re

the homestead nine miles south of town,
which has leen their home. To them
were born eight children all of whom,

woman whose loss will be keenly felt not
only by members of her immediate fam

acquaintances, over whom her quiet in.
lluence for the better and higher things
in life was ever prominent. Her love
for her family and her home and her de

duties and the splendid family which
she has given to the world is evidence of
her real worth.

The Auburn Republican says that
farmers in Nemaha county have been
bothered in years past with the wire
worm and the corn root lice. An Iowa
farmer has discovered a simple preven
tion for this, and it is inexpensive.
When he plants his corn he puts a table
spoonful of common sulphur, dry, in
each planter box of corn and mix it
thoroughly. This will prevent the root
lice and wire worms and clean the fields
of these pests and will insure a Gne
stand of corn.

A RARE COIN.
It Is Called a "Misstrike" and Is Vary
Seldom Seen.
"Sec this penny I got today at the
postoflice," said the cashier. "There
arcu't live other pennies like it in the
United States."
He handed out a cent piece with the
die impression half off the face of the
coin and with a big half moon of
blank metal showing along one side.
"They call it a misstrike." he con
tinued. "Perhaps ouce in 10.U0O.000
times the two little notched lingers on
the minting machines that grip the
blank disk aud draw it forward to the
die fail to spring away. In this case
the left hand linger stuck and pushed
the coin halfway over the die. That
is how the impression is only half on
the disk.
"You can see the raised edge on the
blank portion of the metal." the cash
ier went on as he took up his pen. "It
isn't everybody knows that each coin
goes under the dies twice. The first
time it is struck with a blank, dome
shaped set of dies to put an edge on
the disk. Then it gets the regular die
with the familiar head on it.
"What's it worth? Oh. I'll say prob
ably $25 or so. I see it's been In cir

some coin collector hasn't nabbed it.
I'm going to keep it as a rarity."

SENSE OF HEARING.
Sound Waves and the Way They Act
Upon the Ears.
The detection of the direction of a
sound by the sense of hearing is, like
the rapid focusiug- of the eye on ob
jects at different distances, one of
those instinctive operations which are
continually done without any conscious
method.
Sound waves traverse the air as rip
ples stir the water, aud the car by ex
perience acquires some slight power of
detecting the direction in one case, as
the eye does with far greater accuracy
In the other. Usually we unconscious
ly receive assistance from other senses
as well. Often we fall to locate at
once some hidden source of sound,
such as a singing bird, and then our
Instinctive ingenuity displays itself.
The intensity of sound Is, of course,
by no means so great behind a screen
as in front of It, and every one carries
with him the screen of his own bead,
whicli may prevent a particular sound
from being heard so well by one ear
as by the other. If, then, the head is
turned uutii this inequality disappears
and both oars hear equally well we
know that we must be directly facing
or turned from the source of sound,
and our previous rough Idea of Us
whereabouts generally prompts us to
face It

the news of his death, yet the announce
ment created the utmost surprise, be
cause Robert's healthy physical condi

was highly regarded by all hia acquain

brave and .generous, ho was one of Da

It is with extreme sorrow that the

confirmation of her death came from
friends at Pasadena, were our people
willing to believe that the jovial and light
hearted Mrs. Clark was no more in this
land of living. Mrs. Clark visited Hum

and it seemed she was unusually bright
and cheerful. A few months ngo Mr.
Clark' had a slight stroke of paralysis,
but we understand he had completely re

it was known that Mrs. Clark's health

Wind and Temper.
There is a closer connection between
wind and temier than at first sight ap
pears. A coldish wind has a bracing
effect and. on the whole, is beneficial.
Iu countries where hot winds occur
periodically, on the other hand, these
are regarded as a nuisance. If not a
curse. Every one almost gets cross,
weary and done up and has a head
ache daily, in Egypt the season when
crimes are commonest is when the hot
khnuiseen blows. Nearly always dur
ing a severe sirocco the Arabs in Al
geria were restless. If they did not at
tempt an actual rising. The sola no.
which now and then rushes across the
Mediterranean in fiery blasts from
Africa, upsets every one in Spain ami
Is the worst wind In that country.
And even in the Pearl of the An
tilles the fierce hot wind Is .such a
pest that It Is recorded of a family
living in Havana that they made it a
rule in the household to preserve ab
solute silence until the wind disap
peared. It was the only plan they
could think of to avoid family quar
rels. Rise of Russia.
In the history of Europe down to the

The Hypocrite a Genius.
Really to be a hypocrite must re
quire a horrible strength of character.
An ordinary man such as you or 1 gen
erally fails at last because he bus not
enough energy to be a man. Rut the
hypocrite must have enough energy to
be two men. It is said that a liar
should have a good memory. But a
hypocrite must have not only a good
memory of the past, but a consistent
and creative vision of the future; bis
unreal self must bo so far real to him.
The perfect hypocrite should be a trin
ity of artistic talent. He must be a
novelist like Dickens to create a false
character. He must be an actor like
Garrick to act it. And be must be a
business man like Carnegie to profit
by it. Such a genius would not be
easy to find in any country. G. K-

"Not at all," returned the clerk.
"My, oh, my!" cried Uncle Jasper in
