Dean Winchester of the United
States geologlcl survey Is In Lincoln
for a visit of two or three days with
relatives and friends. Mr. Winchester
was graduated from the University in
1907. and has since been in govern
ment service. This summer he nas
been scouting through Wyoming and
Utah in search of oil bearing shale.
This rock when roasted gives off the
crude oil. The government believes
that in a few years oil will be worth
enouEh to warrant this more expen
Rive means of getting it None was
found in Wyoming, but Utah is full
of the Bhale. To date, the government
has refused to wlthdarw any of this
land from entry, on the theory that
requires a manufacturing process and
therefore the land Is not strictly min
eral bearing. Mr. Winchester Is now
on his way to Washington for the win
ter. Since he left a third little kid
die has arrived and the father has
not seen him yet.

Ever notice how easy It is for a

If you happen to hear a woman
praising a man's wisdom it's a sure
sign that he is not her husband.
A man never thinks of marrying,
Dearie, until his heart begins work

Somehow, too much intellect goes
to a woman's head and makes her
so dizzy that she can't see she Is Ret

A man endows the woman he loves
with wings, a halo and a pedestal
and then leaves her to stand In a
niche in the wall, while he runs off
to see what other women are like.
NEVER AGAIN FOR Hlf.l!
MR. BURLISON DECLARES HIM
SELF IN STRONG TERMS.
Good Reaions Why He 8hould Make'
Resolution Not to Bring the 8un-
day Dinner From the City
"Why, Henry 1"
There was the look of a man with
troubled soul In the face of Mr. Henry
Burllson when he reached his home
one Saturday evening. The smllin
face of his wife did not lessen the
look of grim determination in the face
of Burllson. A wife with far less In
tuition than Mrs. Burllson bad would
have discovered that something had
gone wrong, and Mrs. Burllson asked,
"Why, Henry, what has happened?"
Burllson stepped Into the vestibule
of his home and dropped the suit case
he carried to the floor with a dull
thud. His voice had an edge like a
blade as he said:
"Something has happened that will
never happen again If I live to be so
old that Methuselah will seem like a
kid when compared with me. This Is
the laBt time I save 15 cents by tak
ing that suit case downtown with me
on Saturday and bring home our Sun
day dinner in It to save express
charges the very last time!"
"But you haven't told me what hap
pened."
"You would have seen what hap
pened if you had been with me Just aa
I reached the subway stairs. I s'pose
I had forgot to push down the clasps
that help to hold the suit case to
gether, and the thing was so crammed
full that It was too much for the self-
locking arrangement, and the thing
opened right at the top of the stairs."
"Why, Henry!"
"You'd say 'Why, Henry!' if you had
seen a six-pound Philadelphia capon
traveling down those stairs, followed
by three big yellow grapefruit and
half a dozen apples!"
"Why, Henry!"
"A bunch of celery rolled down two
or three steps, and a man racing down
the stairs stepped on It and slipped,
and he threatened to sue me for dam
ages! You will find the print of a
woman's boot heel on that pound of
butter, and I left the dozen eggs I
had bought on the subway stairs, for
I would have needed a shovel to have
scraped them up after they had rolled
down six Iron Bteps! One of the
grapefruit rolled between the feet of
an old lady going down the stairs, and
she gave a yell like a maniac and
called for the police! A grinning Idiot
caught up one of the grapefruit and
flung It up toward me, and two other
men pelted me with the apples!"
Oh, Henry!"
'The bottle of maple sirup spread
over six of the steps, and the people
carried It home on the soles of their
shoes; and the paper came off the
soup bone I had bought, and I left it
lying at the foot of the subway stairs.
All Is, this is the very last time you
ever hear of me saving 15 cents in
that way! My lacerated feelings are
worth at least a quarter, and "
"Oh, Henry!" '
"I left half of my stuff ra the sub
way, and the other half will taste bit
ter to me when I think of that gap
ing, grinning, giggling, tittering mob
that saw me standing there vith my
empty and open suit case in my hand
and all that Btuff traveling down the
subway stairs!
'Why, Henry!" Judge.
Use for Onions.
Onions are good for cleaning steel
articles that have rusted. Rub the
rust spots with a piece of onion and
leave for 24 hours. Wash and polish
with bathhrick dust, moistened with
turpentine. Wash again in suds and
scald with clear water.- Knives that
have rust spots of long standing should
be plunged Into an onion and allowed
to stand for some time. Finish the
cleaning process as above.
Work Demanded of Recruits.
The English recruit Is expected to
put every rifle shot fnto an eight-inch
ring at 100 yards. The territorials
must put 80 per cent of all shots into a
12-lnch ring at that distance. The
French soldier is required to put half
of his shots into an l?-inch ring at
the same range.
LIKE THE EGYPT OF 0LU
Country Has Seen Little Changs
While the Rest of the World
Has Been Advancing.
In Journeying to Assouan from
Thebes the traveler cannot fail to be
Impressed by the two beautiful tem
ples of Edfu and Kom Ombo. .The
former, situated almost miaway
the Journey, Is of special Interest be
cause It is the best preserved of all the
Egyptian temples. It was a center of
the cult of Osiris, whose death and
rising again was celebrated every
spring within its close. , The festival
began with deep mourning. Proces
sions of priests marched around the
walls deploring the death of their god
In ifce contest with the evil one. In
the sanctuary lay the mummy, person
ified by a priest, while a priestess who
represented Isis wept over her dead
lord and begged for his return. At
last the resurrection morning came,
the mummy arose, and Joy reigned
among the worshipers. Again proces
sions formed upon the walls and,
marching with banners snd musical
instruments, proclaimed the risen lord
to those who stood about.
A few miles away is Kom Ombo, the
beautiful temple of Sebekv the croco
dile rod. whose devotees hated the
worshipers of Osiris as fiercely as in
later times the followers of the prophet
hated the Coptic monks whom , they
found before them in this very valley.
Like Edfu. it dates from the days ai
the Ptolemies, who built both build
ings on ancient sites. The rulers oi
that time were Hellenists, but their
architecture was that of , ancient
Eenvt. bo firmly rooted In the land
were the old dynastic traditions. Per
sian, Greek and Roman came ana
carved their names uoon the temples,
but left no mark UDon the unchanging
spirit of Egypt Not even today Is
there any alteration, for still the
houses In the villages se built as of
old, and over them rise the pigeon
towers, veritable dvIods. exactly line
the towered gateways of the ancient
temples. "Royal Temples of the
Mile," by William Warfleld in Travel.
Coal From, the Arctic.
A few years ago, the idea of getting
coal from Spltzbergen, one of the most
desolate islands of the Arctio ocean,
was a topic for romancers of the Sun
day supplement type. Now it is a fact
of considerable moment in many of the
world's markets. : A single company,
financed chiefly by American capital,
mined nearly 40,000 tons of coal from
Spltzbergen last year. The-oeposit
of fuel In the far North ia said to be
singularly easy to work. It comes In
a single seam about four feet thick,
stretching along the coast for 30 miles.
The surrounding rock Is so solid that
timbering Is not needed. The temper
ature is always below the freezing
point In the present workings, which
does away with the need of pumps.
In fact the only real difficulty is that of
Setting men and motion pictures have
gone far to solve that problem. Yet
for every ton of coal in Spltzbergen
there are ten In' Alaska of at least
equal quality, closer to a hungry mar
ket. The arctic zone won't make s
real dent in the fuel market till our
big northwest territory gets in action.
Notes From Commerce Reports.
A German patent has been granted
to H. Stefferis for making a lubricant
from beet sugar molasses.
. American interests are about to
erect factories in China for the manu
facture of dried and desiccated eggs.
The Krupp works are making a
burglarproof safe, constructed of steel,
which required one and ore-half hours
with an oxyacetylene flame to produce
a hole two inches in diameter in a
plate one and one-half Inches thick.
The government oil fields of Chubut,
Argentina, produced In 1914 more than
275,000,000 barrels of oil, which was
refined there.
The world's coffee production In 1914
was 893,000 tons, a decrease of 92,000
tons from 1913.
Walked Three Miles In Sleep.
Although never rated as a chronU
sleepwalker, Mrs. W. A. Johnson, wife
of a farmer living near Salina, Kan,
rose about four o'clock a few mornings
ago. dressed herself and walked three
miles to a hospital In Salina, where,
still asleep, she fell exhausted on the
tens and was later found by nurses.
