BARSETT JOHNSON'S ' GHOST. .
The llttlo vlllnpoof Manchesterwhich
has stood anil staid exactly within the
fiolf-hiuno bounds for the y st 100 yours is
nt prosant enjoying n. boom.
But tlio boom is not in town lots , nntl
the ontgi-prising individual who is creat
ing all this Stir and fever of excitement
has been tload for fifty years. In short ,
a ghost , of the mostablo-bodicd anil lively
typo lias innrto the village his headquar
ters and is busily engaged frightening
limit ! people out of their wits. Others ,
not so easily scared , ho has sot at work
fligging for hlildon treasure in the dooryard -
yard of the h'ouso ho is haunting.
Not satisfied with merely making his
- dutims toil half the night through , ho
persists in tearing the bed clothes from
Ihom when they do retire exhausted
from handling the pick and shovel.
In all probability tlio shape is that of
Barnett Johnson who lived iu tlio old
, cnbiu long b'oforo .tho war of the robol-
. Competent witnesses swear Unit
the appai-itlon , in stature aud visago-
an exact counterpart of Johnson , and as
ho is supposed to have buried a vast
amount of bullion and jewels antl ether
treasure somewhere in that vicinity after
an expedition to the Indies , there can
scarcely bo any doubt ns to his identity.
Tlio house that is being visited by
Johnson's spirit is situated about a mile-
to the northwest of Manchester proper ,
and.is kno\vnwtliroughouuthoeounty.ua.
'
'tho old Cockioil place. ' Tltoro is'noth-
ing peculiar about the cabin itself , uavo
its great age. It was built in tlio earli
est days of the settlement no ono
knows exactly what year antl the moro
enumeration of the births , marriages
and deaths that have occurred there
would fill a good size volume. Barnett
Johnson and his brother Valentino oc
cupied tlio cabin before the Coekroll
family lived in it , but their residence
within its walls was of such short dura
tion that the country round did not get
into the habit of designating the place
by the family namo. After residing
there some time , Valentiho became in-
.yolved in a cutting scrape , and Burnett
lost favor in the oycs of the community ,
cither by errors or shortcomings , and
left the country.
From time to time , however , rumors
floated back from the southern coast
Hint told of Ills , doings. Ho had joined
otfivaf the many buccaneering expedi
tions , thobO stories said , that wore lilted
out to cruise against the wealth-laden
vessels that plied along the coasts of the
Indian islands antl Central America.
For n time all hints of Burnett's actions
ceased. Tlio staid villagers of Manches
ter pursued their ordinary vocations
and talked about ouch ether instead of
"yo bold buccaneer. " Then suddenly
there appeared in the town a swarthy ,
bearded personage , who walked with a
BWaggor and-sworo oaths in a strange
tongue. Ho bragged of "Captain Bar , "
and of n town sacked hero and a ship
Bcuttled there in such tin off hand way ,
that a secret meeting of tlio worthy citl-
lens took place and the resolve was
nuu'lo to arrest the braggart and clap
him in juil until either his criminal or
insane proclivities wore looked into.
When the shorlfT , armed with his
legal papers , ponderous in seals , marks
nml rotund signatures , proceeded to ar
rest tlio suspicious churactor ho could
not bo-found. All trace of his where
abouts was lost. In a week or so Barnett
Johnson entered the village as suddenly
ns his follower had gono. lie had a hugo
leather suck in his possession , and
though tlio inquibitivo townsfolk used
nil their wiles of questioning and sur
prise , they wore unable to learn the con
tents of the bag. It remained zealously
guarded by its owner , until it was ut
length missing. And Barnett disap
peared with it.
/ Johnson was never soon ngnln , hut the
/old "uuntlos" of tlio region often dls-
' canted his - and " '
upon cure-or , "knowed fo'
bluinh" that the satchel of treasure lay
buried in some ot the nooks or wooded
ravines of the old Coekroll place , to bo
found some day by "do right pusson at
de right time. "
Thus much for rein ill I see nco.
The narrative of the many appear
ances and peculiar antics of 'Burnett's
ghost is best lold by some of tno eye
witnesses. A Olobo-Domoorat reporter ,
bent on psychical research , was besieged
with oven a-largor number than the fol
lowing of "experiences" from reliable
residents of Maneho.stor and vicinity ,
but space forbids their Insertion. All
wore , however , fully as startllni' as the
appended trio , nntl all rolatcu to the
gnost at Coc.kroll's farm.
Aunt Patsoy Welle , called BO because
of her rlpo ago ( seventy-two ) and splen
did memory , Is the great St. Louts
county authority upon subjects where
early dates are In question. She has the
pedigrees of all the principal families of
the stnto at her lingers' ends , und can
toll to a dot where every twig on these
family trees Is. whether in Mnlnn , Mexico -
/ico or Madrid , and whether living ,
/ dy' ' { ? or dead. Before the war she was
the property ot ono of the brunches of
ox-Governor Crilleiulon's family , und
oven yet holds the memory of her old
ninstcr in dear regard. Seventy-two
yenrs of labor have bent her body almost
double and chnugot ) hot ; i kinky bluck
hair to a hue nearly B white ua snow.
Dosplto her Infirmities , however , the
Old croaluro gota around ua spryly
us a maid of sixteen , and is a
deal moro cheerful than most at ,
that huppy age. In speaking she ;
pauses at intervals to sot her lips tightly
together , as if udding weight to her
nssortlons , and , once in a while , strikes
her hands together for the same evident
reason.
"Am yoh goln' to write about do

"That was when ole Missus Cockrell
lived in the house , after her her puhtner
in life fa gentle smile of satisfaction at
this point ] had done died. Missus Cock-
roll wusuwny frum the house tin' I was
u-eookin' for the men. I laid myself

a-llyln' over to the corner of the room ,
and I looked up tit nothing. The man

polished vocabulary and received an en
couraging nod. ]
"That's 'bout all. sah. I lit the big
candle an' kept it lit all night. "
"How long tigo was that , Aunt Pat-

yollin' roun' the luno , and I was thut
glud thut General Ulyssessus was given
his position tit the heud of the gov'mont
thut I guess I yelled , too. "
Then Aunt Ptitsoy luunched forth into
u description of the ghost that dofles pen
and paper to reproduce. Ho was "tall
andduhk fuvored" and were amazin'
funny'gcrmonts. " She was sure he wns
the * "livin' likeness of Bur'
Johnson. " Hero Aunt Pntsoy trrnph-
icully described Valentino's trouble
with his wife's brothers at a corn husk
ing. The boys did not like Valentino ,
andduring , .tbo.husking..pcrslsteu in _
throwing the stripped ears nt his head
instead of into the heaps. After endur
ing this for some time Valentino stabbed
ono of liis tormentors. Aunt Patsoy
was very certain thai Barnett Johnson
fell into disfavor in the community be
cause ho liked other people's horses too
well.
well.Edward
Edward Hoch , u well-known German
property holder of Manchesterwas even
more worked up over the weird visitant ,
and his account carries the moro inter
est inasmuch as his experience and the
experience of his entire family are of
very recent dato. Hoch has but lately
moved from the Coekroll farm and In
the eyes of his neighbors has been act
ing very queorly. iBol.itod visitors to
this or thut remote farm house of the
township , when passing by the place ,
have boon greatly frightened over the
actions of a solitary digger in the yard.
By the bright moonlight , or under the
fitful glare of the storm-mndo light- ,
nings , ho has been seen ut nil hours ot
the night busily plying the shovel and
pick , und upon the closer upproach of
the spectator ! ) would.always disappear.
At length this midnight workman wns
discovered to bo Mr. Iloch. At first
some believed thut ho wunted to frighten -
on the tenants of the' cottage , and 'tis
true that this result was gained. The
presence of r. strange-looking excava
tion in the back yard thut grow deeper
und larger every day , without visible
bunds lifting the dirt , wus calculated to
muko the most stolid quake with fear.
Mr. Hoch admitted yesterday that ho
was socking for buried treasure and as
sorts thut ho will surely lind it if ho
only lives long enough.
"Of course , you'll bo very cnroful in
what you suy about that place , " ho
said , "and not exaggerate the
story , for it would bo likely to decrenso
the vnluo of the property. For my
own part I fool very uncertain whether
1 hud bettor talk or not.
"To muko a long story short.howover ,
there is something wrong about that
house , and 1 would not live in it uguin
fur $100 a month. If what I hud scon
had been only soon by myself alone , I
would not bo so sure about the business.
But my wife , sister-in-law and my little
bnys and girls have all seen and hoard
moro than myself. Wo lived on the
place about two years and u half , und I
tun ready to swear that ti week did not
go by without that fellow's apponranco.
Often we could not see him at all , and
just his tramp , trump , tramp would toll
us he was near. Sometimes ho would
just walk about like thut , und after a
\vhllo would go away pouccubly. But
uftoner he would tuka hold of the bed
clothes and jerk them clear off. Moro
tluui once I have attempted to hold on
to the quilts and sheets , but my strength
wus nothing compared with his. My
linger nails would bo almost torn from
their roots by the force of the tug , and
the coverlids would bo lying nt tlio end
of the room before you could suy'scatt. '
"Sometimes , looking out of the win
dow , wo could eoo the follow walking
round und round the dooryurd ,
the little chips und stones ot the puth
crunching under his foot exactly us they
would under mortal shoes. He dressed
dllferently nt different times. For the
in oat part his clothes wore of n queer
pattern , like you see In old pluys or
picture books of by-gone tunes. Ho
nml n very broad hut , and it wus quite
hard to 'got a good look nt his face.
Sometimes a sword dangled from his
waist. At others ho was dressed in
dark citizens' clothes of no pronounced
cut , and were u pnmllor hat. .When his
face could be seen it looked troubled.
At times ho would aliuko himself
angrily , und then wlth'a determined
look on his countenance , ' would begin
his walk again. Avstrnngo peculiarity of
his appoarunco wan tlio fuel that he was
never sor-u or hoard on Iho lower floor
of the house. The first that wo would
know of his coming would bo his stop
sounding upon the middle of the fitulr >
wny and Ills entrance Into the west room
of iho upper floor. Ho always entered
this room , and would como iri whether
the door wns looked or not.
"Tho west room wns occupied by my
llltlo children as u sleeping apartment
and they were very much bothered by
the ghost. Just before wo loft .tho
liouso my llttlo daughter Josephine , wus
tuken and thrown to the floor several
times in ono night. At first she wanted
to blame her sister Clementina for doing
it , but Clementina wus sound tisleop.
Tlioti ho picked up my llttlo boy Willie
out of bed und took him to the window ,
where ho showed him a lot of pold ly
ing out doors on the ground. Willie Is
twelve yours old nnd quite a bravo little
follow. Ho wunted to got the money
right away , and the ghost told him to
fetch a basket to carry the stull in. 'Wo
havn't any good basket , ' suld Willie ;
will a stout box deV The follow suid
thut it would , und Willie started to get
the box , when his mother stopped htm
and told him to go back to bed. Ho
obeyed her , and moaning us though ho
wus hurt by something , the ghost
trumped down stulrs uguin ,
"It tippetircd sovorul times to my wife
und bogged her to go down into the
yard nnd dig for the gold. She never
did so , however , und I'm afraid thut wo
lost a great many chances of getting
rich. My sister-in-law wus pretty neur
scared out of her wits oy the ghost ap
pearing and ordering her to got up and
dig for the money in the iTardon.
"If I had only known as much'whon I
used to see it as I do now , since I have
moved from the house , I might Imvo got
rich. Perhaps again , however , I would
have been killed by the ghost. I have
heard of them over in the old country ,
coming to people's houses and after get
ting them to dig for money hitting thorn
on the hctid and burying them in their
solf-dug graves. I suppose they do this
when the wrong person trios to get the
money. If I wns the right pot-son I
might got it and I believe that 1 am. At
any rate I am going to dig some more in
that yard.
"Mr. Schueler , who just moved to the
plajo lust Tuesday , suid thut I might
come there ana dig. I am sure that
there Is enough money there for us all
and if you would like you can como
along. "
Mr. Charles Sohuelcr und family , who
have occupied the old dwelling slnco
Tuesday afternoon , have not ns yet been
troubled with Burnett's ghost.
The testimony of William Thomas ,
who saw the apparition a few weeks ago ,
is even moro startling than that of Aunt
Patsy and Mr. Hoch. Mr. Thomas is a
vorv rcsnectablo farmer livintr upon the
outskirts of Manchester township.
"I have hoard folks talk of spooks and
ghosts ever since I was knee-high , " ho
said , "but didn't take much stock in
thorn. I reasoned thut if I wus square
with the living the dead wouldn't
trouble mo , und I lived over forty years
tn thut belief. A little while ago I went
to do some work on the old Cockrell
place and slept there over night by my
self. I wouldn't do that again , though ,
for a right smart of money. I had not
got to sleep when I heard a trump ,
tramp , trump of feet , und into the door
walked iv big , durk-comploxioned mnn ,
wearing funny-looking clothes. I could
BOO. him like I BCO you now , for the moon
was full and shone into the room with a
strong , yellow light. The man came
straight to my bed and gave the clothes
a yank that sent 'em sailing to the ether
wall. He did this to wake mo up , I
guess , for as .soon as I began to stir ho
said , 'Come with me , and dig , dig , dig ! '
I begun to holler then like anything ,
und ho put his bund over my mouth.
The hand didn't feel at all cold , llko-
ghost's fingers are supposed to bo , and
this sort of quieted mo a bit. 'Dig , dig ,
dig ! ' ho said again. 'It will make you
grow rich I swear it by my sword I' and
ho half drew a long blade from its sheath
and showed mo the handle of the weapon.
It wus n cross , but I thought that the
devil often como around in this fashion ,
pretending to bo so good , thut I at once
decided to refuse him , oven if ho threat
ened to stick the sword into mo. 'No , I
won't do nothing of the kind ! " I answer
ed. At this ho guvo my foot such u
terrible jerk thut it Innded mo on the
floor. When I got up und looked uround
the man wus gene , and just a sort of
moaning bound cnmo buck from tlib
direction of the stuirs. I laid awake all
night after that , expecting the thing to
como again , and I had my pistol ready
for him if ho did show up. But ho didn't ,
and I guess I'm lucky ns It is. Perhaps
if I had shot at him ho would have
killed mo some way or other , and I'm
pretty well satisfied to live awhile
loneor. "
Bob Thomas , the son of the lust wit
ness , bus seen the strungo being pacing
the yard of the Coekroll place , and tolls
us interesting a story "Us his father.
Joe Mussoy , u netir neighbor of the
Thomas family , is ulso said to have soon
nntl talked with it.
Nearly every monitor of the Hoch
family has had thrilling Interviews with
the apparition , und uro all very sure
thut ho does not belong to the living
world. Ho has u peculiar way of going
through tv locked door or dfsuppcuring
before ono's eyes that at once brands
him us u specter.
Manchester is all ngog with excite-
mot't over his doings , and ouch day adds
an Interesting fuel or detail of his por-
sonulllty or rather spirituality. Hud
Mr. Hoch remained in the dwelling the
chances are that Burnett's visits would
have remained a secret with the few.
But upon Mr. Hoch's hunting for the
treasure in the peculiar manner that ho
did after his removal thoothor witnesses
found tlioir tongues loosened , nnd the
foregoing account ia n portion of the
result.

In the spring a young woman's fancy not
only turns to thoughts of love and Easter

days with their endless fails and fancies , and
the woman who can see the beautiful tints
and tones and artlsU6 combination ! ) dis

But because our fashions are Imported from
Franco Is no reason why wo should Import
French morals also.
The Medici collar romcs this season In nil
fancy metals , and the newest conceit Is to
have a Jeweled collar and girdle. 'Iho high
puffed sleeve is still higher , though some
what longer , and so snug about the hand as
to require a couple of buttons.

is made in such a manner as to delight the

April , with its varying moods and changes
brings in her walto the early summer modes ,
and among the best changes is the entire ab
sence of "the wash dress. No matter how
pretty and fresh a lawn frock may bo
in one's own homo , It Is never so
appropriate for use elsewhere as the wool
robe of very lightest weight , and these
woolen fabrics como in all sliadesaim as they
are not warm are especially adapted for mid
summer wear. The newest shades are pom
padour blue , rush green and parma violet.
One of these summer gowns is ot ecreu chul-
lio.on which are scattered the tiniest bunches
of forgctmenots in tlioir natural color , the
gown being trimmed with narrow velvet rib
bon of the same shade as the flower , and the
whole dainty effect crowned by a delicious
bit of millinery in ecru and blue.
A word on trimmings. Passementerie
outrivals all others. First , wo had the Juno
Hading veil and now the Hading walst-uarnl-
turo in gilt , silvorstecl , and crochet , and even
imitation Jewels are Jvoven into the

in eager demand.
With Bornhnrdt's Impersonation of Sar-

latest and most unique is the serpent girdle ,
modeled after the one wbru by the dlvino
Sara. This Is of braided fc-old or/ silver Intor-
wovcn with Jewels and 'is wound thrice
around tro body till the glittering eyes are
uplifted Just beneath the .bosom. With a
Cleopatra gown this Is simply perfect.
The newest fancy for taunts players is a
leathern belt with a clisp of two tennis
racquets crossed and two.ffcunls balls.
No girl's mountain outfit is complete for
the summer without a tvalkintc stick , to
which , before the season U over , is tied a
souvenir Of each conquest. So this fad
promises to distance all former throphles of

The fad of collecting "Journey" spoons is
as much In vogue as uverand , now collectors
have a new one , "tho orange spoon , " to add
to their harlequin set. .
Cycling becomes morel popular among
ladies with ouch season ( and since Uanio
Fashion pronounced It "tho thing , " every
woman wants u "safety , " and today there is
hardly a city of any size but has its woman
cycling club and club hotiso. Washington ,
with its miles of asphalt pavement , is a
veritable paradise lor cyclers.
The newest creation In parasols is the deli
cate all over pattern In gold colored silk em
broidered on black crepe , finely shirred u
the center , with a deep llounco scolloped and
embroidered , the crepe showing a yellow
lining of twilled silk , and the bamboo handle
is iinished with a gold band and Dresden
mount. ,
In millinery this is a season of flowers am
metal. One bonnet has ah open crown 01
seed pearls and is finished in1 front with a
high stiff knot of silver Vlssuo and violets :
another of black gauze , the crown dottoc
closely with ( 'lit beads and in front a hal :
wreath of liny yellow flowers , above whicl
Is noised an immense cold dragon lly whict
vibrates with every movement of the wearer
the whole being a dream of a bonnet oxcep

The latest wrinkle In table decorations is
the center cloth and doylies.done In "shadow
work" on white silk mull , in leaves of some
pretty graceful design , both' center cloth am
doylies to bo laid over some delicate tint tint
edged with long colored silk tassels. The of
feet is charming. Another scheme in em
broidery of center pieces is a mass of butter
cups thrown carelessly on white linen , the
napkins being embroidercU with only three
or four flowers arranged gracefully in tno

Tno Dresden Is. as the name suggests , It

In the early days of tbl $ century , after the

consulate David attempted to rovlvd the
classical toga , but Its supcoss was transitory ,
owing to the severity oft the Parisian cli

throats. I had almost written bare backs
and limbs , Talleyrand said of these dresses ,
if such they can bo called , "that they began
too late and ended too early. " What with

was soon cxtltif utahcd , Uut , while it lasted

The first performance of Massenet's now

Ono of the most Intorostlnc events of the

the revival of "Charles I. " at the Lyceum

ono whit from the fascinations of Wills' beau

Kudolph Aronson of the Casino theater recently -

The storm seeno In Fanny Davenport's
production of "Cleopatra" Is' said to bo the
most effective piece of realism over seen on
the modern stage. Tno effect of swaying anil
toppling trees , seen by vivid Hashes of ilirlit-
nlng , is said to ho produced bv mean * of a
hugo moving panorama , while showers of
pcublcs drop from the flies and clvo the
effect of heavily falling rain drops. Through
the whole act runs the weird strain of the
Egyptians' ' voices as they cull upon'Ilphon ,
tlio god of storms , to overwhelm the pursuing
host which threatens Cleopatra ,
The breaking up of Lawrence Barrett's
company lias emphasized a fact which many
who have watched his career have before this
noted the Incfllclcncy of hU company. That
company , Idle now , is finding the greatest
possible difllculty in getting engagements. In
spite of the fact that for the patt year most
of them have been supporting the greatest of
American actors , and have had the advantage ,
which all actors crave , of an extended minimi
hearing in New York the actor1 ! . Mecca no
ono seems to want them. This scarcely sur
prise * thojo who have watched the company
and know Mr. Barrett's method , but It la sad
all the same.
It is pleasant to record the growing popu
larity of American plays by American play
wrights. Of the recent productions in Now
York city the great hits have been miulo by
American plays. Among these may bi men
tioned "Tho Henrietta , " "Alabama.1'-'Shen-
aniloah , " "Tho Senator , " "Men and Women"
and "lie-Illy and the .100. " Gillette's adapta
tion of foreign plays has been found a most
successful enterprise. " .All the Comforts of
Home" and "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" are
nmoi.L' tl'o deservedly popular and profitable
productions. Tilts gratifying fact is bound to
have its effect upon amusement caterers , and
wo may look for a lively demand next season
for American plays by American playwrights.
The rise of Henry C. Do Mllle has been ow
ing in some measure , to the fact that ho has
found materials , for good plavs right hero In
this country. As ho said recently in a public
speech , It Is not necessary for the American
dramatist to go back to Ancient Greece for
models and ideals. Ho can lind them and nil
tno material necoisary in this country.
"Tho amount of nerve displayed by some
newspaper men when they are sent to inter
view women of the stage is beyond coinnro-
bension , " said tht leading lady of ono of the
isow York stock companies the other niter-
noon to n Telegram man. "If an evasive re
ply is intentionally given to an impertinent
question so as to avoid incurring displeasure
they seem to take it as nu avowal of truth
and press the subject to unendurable limits.
I recall a recent question when a young re
porter called at my house ostensibly to ask
mo about the illness of a member of our
companv. Almost before he hud got fairly
seated in the reception room he began to ask
the most shocking questions. Finally ho told
mo that lie was gathering the material for a
special article on iho various appliances used
by actresses for supporting their liosieiy.and
supplemented this by asking mo. if 1 wore my
garters above or below my knees. I rather
surprised him by asking if ho would dare
inako a similar inquiry of Mrs. Vanderbilt
or Mrs. Aster , and when ho admitted that
such a thing would be a llltlo Inconsistent , I
endeavored to impress upon his mind the
fact that all women of the stage are not
skirt dancers or figurantes , and that actresses
nro entitled to as much consideration from n
gentleman as any of our leading society
women. "

DrniiAM , N. C. , April IS. To the Editor of
Tun BUG : I saw the other day In Tun Bun
an article , or rather n few paragraphs , per
haps twenty , under the head ot "Old Omaha
Scribes , " and after reading what the cold
types had said I thought awhile to myself.
Most all , and I think all of these scribblers ,
some renowned and some famous , at onetime
time or another , held a place en TUB Bui : .
Mr. Fell used to got the yellow envelope
ready for us on Saturday ; wo used to write
our little write , imagine that wo were doing
great things , and blow our salary in and it
was forgotten. Wo used to bo there on wet
days and on fair days ; bonio of us did ono
one thing and some of us another.
Once I remember Unit I left THE Bir : and
monkeyed in Eurooo. I left it several times ,
and even after I had pone It always appeared
regularly , and it was always brighter than It
had been before. And I think , as I write hero
in my southern Ijome , that those few para
graphs which Tun Br.n published furnish an
excellent theme for young men to think
about.
Doubtless others felt as I felt like all men
feel-who play a distinctive part on a great
newspaper , that without them there would
bo no issue. But the same Kosowatcr , the
same individuality always Impelled Tut : BKK ;
Mr. KoscwiUor was tberofind no matter
about his hirelings.
THE Bui : today is bettor than Tin : BEK at
any other time , and it grows better "and
stronger with the ymr * . But that ono cen
tral fact the fact that the nomadic creatures
crept their llttlo- paths ; wrotn , scowled ,
growled and finally went again , made no
difference , and I see now that It will make no
difference. Colonel Uosowixter is in tlio sad
dle , and fie unhapy employe who feels that
his services are rated as indispensable Is
simply a misguided fool.
But this article I write , possibly for publi
cation , was to point a moral , and the moral is
this : Why will young men prance around
and attempt their llttlo clog dances on the
surface of all the earth i
All those fellowb , for the most part bright ,
have gene from Omaha ; some are south ,
sumo are north , some are west and some are
east and \ \ hat are they doing I
Nothing more perhaps than they did In
Omaha e.iuh ono grinding and grinding
hard for his weekly stipend each ono wish
ing , as in truth they always wished , that
tilings were different.
And as to Tin ; BIK : |
Vv'hy , It goes along , too ; it Js stronger in
circulation and influence than it over before
has been , and new men , many of them , le-av-
lug some other paper have como to help make
the paper. Somehow 1 feel that In this
matter , if all could see that while there Is
much for all to do , no man is of any vast im
portance ; that men die , and that men leave ,
and that still the wheels turn on , I would
write something which might do some young
men good.
Omaha , I remember , was once a verv young
and a very small town. The old politicians
who erst and erowhllo paddled their llttlo
and light canoes have gene down the stream
of time--other men have taken tholr phicei ,
and so other IIXMI will run the world.
Take for instance the fact that old Dave
Butloronco the governor anrt once ono of the
men of Nebraska , has for ten years betiii
walking in his shroud , and that a man llko
Burrows has tried to lleeco thu corpse why ,
such things as that , even , would cause to'a
reflective mind , reason to ponder.
But to takn It still on , Lorenzo Crounso
has Just been offered , by Mr. Foster , whom I
knew well iu.Ohlo , an honorable Job , and ho
will accept. Well , I say again , that you cannot -
not tell. Suppose thai Crounse. hail loft
the state when the collector's onlco
knew him no inoroiforovor. But he illdn't.
Ho remained at Fort Calhouu , and ono day ,
Just the other day , u llttlo bird Hew in lilt
path. c = >
OAnd so if the young men would go at H ;
it they would shun the alluring temptation
of the bigger salary that Is held out Just
over yonder ; If they would knuckle down
and work hard ; remain on the paiu-r where
an able editor gives thnm room , thu day
would certainly como , uud It would couo
soiun time , when reward would bo for all of
them. ' .
Understand that I am writing no regrets ,
for I came hero us a sacred duty , anil my
friends will be pleased to know that I am
doing well. Hut I do wrltn Just as a mat er
of fHct , a matter of fun , ami then bovo i <
that I see that I have thought a grand im ral ,
no matter bother I have miWn It plain or
nut. At , Fiiuunonmi.
