Many incidentS that occurred during my .mployment on The Dee are indelibly engraved - graved on my memory. I will mention one more The increase in bualliess and the marvelous growth oftbe paper had necessi- tatd the employment of a bonlkeeper. a one- legged man. My duties we're then to eo1lct th bills for advertising and mailing the weekly. This bonkkeeper would give roe bills to collect and I would turn the money over to him. It scion became ividezit that some one was stealing , so a ecareb was in- stitutd by M.r. Ros'watcr and his sus- li'ions fell upon the bookkeeper. 'whom I was set to 'watch. I noon found that he was forging checks in Mr. Itosewaters name and I got bold of a number of the forgeries. and to Mr. Itosewaters presenet accused him of th crime. I'3e did riot deny it , but went clown into his pocket for a pistol. Rosewater - water cauaht his harid and the iistOl was taken from him. Mr. Bookkeeper then left The Bee and Omaha. W afterward learned that lie wal ; flt to prison in Missouri for the same offense. He beat The Bce out of about 4OD. Some time In September. , 'when calling - ing upon General Strickland to collect a bill , the general aslwd me if I would like to study law. After talking the niatter over with my parents and Mr. Rosewater , I eon- eluded to do so. I then severed my connections - nections with The Bee and 'went into the law office of Strickland & Webster (3. L. Wlisteri. Although no longer in the employ of Mr. Rosewate-r , my two years' service with him at a time when his paper was struggling against fearful odds for an eistvnce has made me feel and take a great personal interest - terest in u.s success , and I can never cease to be grateful to Mr. Rosewater for his many kindnensea to roe as a young man and a struggling lawyer.EDWARD EDWARD W.

Ireland offers such exept1onal ad.antages and opportunities to the sportsman , the tour _ * ist , the naturalist , the mountaineer and the seelwr of health ; that , in no distant future , it is destined to become the tourist held of Europe , says the New York Ledger. The glaciers of Switrerland. the fjords , the salmon - mon rivers. and the midnight sun of Norway - way are all there , and , moreover , the vol- canoes. grottoes , and solfataras of Italy , on a grander scale ; the pure and clear atmosphere - mosphere of Italy , the mineral springs of Germany. and the geysers , or hot springs , of the Yellowstone park , are all found there. Nowhere has nature been so s.cnfithrift In assembling wonderful jhenomena or one . spot. - The summer lasts from June till the first week in October. A feature noticed all travelers is the clearness and purity or th atmosphere. rivaling that of ItaIy moun- tahoe can be seen distinctly at a distance of 100 miles. There is no country in the known 'world where oicani eruptions have been so no- merous as in Iceland , or have been spread over so large a surface. . No part of the Isle Is wholly free from the marks of vulcanie agency : arid it may be truly called the abode of subterranean hat. Vesuvius is dwarfed into insignIficance by the twenty volcanoes of Iceland. nfl of them larger. The lava flood at the eruption iri Iceland in 18Th ha beeri computed to contain I1OUOOOO.ooi of cubic feet , while th largest eruption of \'esuvius on rerord , that of 17I4. threw out only 7IO.OOD.OO ( of cubic feet cif lava. Some of the icelandie lakes are tuddd with Viii- cmnlc isles , miniature quiescent Stnombouis , whose craters rise from bai.es green with a prolific growth of afigelica and griuii.ea. Even In the bosom of the sea. off the coast , there are hidden volcanoen. About tb end of January. I78. flames were observed riring from the sea. some thirty miles off Cape lteylrjanes ; they lasted several months until a terrible eruption commenced 2D0 miles aay , In the interior. when they disap- peared. A Ie years ago rocks arid islets emerged from the sea in this i'lace. Another volcanic feature Is the Solatara valleys plains tudtIe'd with a number of low , cone- shaped htlhoek from 'whiis tops Jets of steam ascend. In other places boiling rood issues from the ground , sir to eight feet into thi air , as in Ne'w Zealand. Standing on the feeble crust t'here4 literally fire arid brimstone are in incessant action. having before your 53'eS terrible proofs of what is going on beiit'tb ' .

After the lapse of ages the fire of the 'ii1i'ano still bursts out among regions of eternal snow , and lbs impetuous thunder- tog iii th geysers continues to disturb the stillness of the surrounding solitude.

It was not until last wiOter at the CyIe show In Madison Square garden that the' public caught on to the itiea and made' the thing a go. Formerly it was hard for the makers to keep their factories running full time ; note It is e'qually difliult to get sufficient - ficient Xnc'ilitie's to turn tbc'Xn out fast enough. Just at present the boom in badge buttons is due to the vigorous rivalry that is lieltia carried on for the nomination for the presi- dency. and if tbce strass tell the coming triaL a study. not necessarily t'hoe , vIhl shoe who will tie the neat .cnaididate. But there' are two or three little idt' lights that must be' taken into consideration. MANY PATENTS COVER IT. 'The button in itself is a very simple lootIng - Ing affair. but it is sri valuable that six patents covering its atnistructuon liars hem taken out , and moreS hart' been applied for to cover what appear to be trivial things , but which affect the cost roost niaft'nially. Ar first metal was used in the making , but this uas costly ; then glass facing on metal hack , and now cornea the button which is nut a button , but bolts hlle one. This is it ( :01- : luloid coating on a metal base. fastened with a simple wire pin of clever construction that holds the badge in ; ilaee closer than the tax collector sticls to a delinquent property owner.

Chairman Hackett of the republican committee has spread broadcast hundreds 'usands for Morton - ton , but the various McKiney , clubs and leagues have discoutit'ed all the other candi- dates.

Iowa clamors for Allison button arid New England eagerly seeks a r.utht'ieol supply of Reed badges. Every candidate even to the iPu1ist arid socialist. feels ii necessary to have a large supply of th butten badges. As an instance 01 bow the political managers regard. this means of booming their Lavorite , It is Intereatitig to note that as soon as W. .E , Russell of Massachusetts appeared as a candidate I or the .deinocraUc presidcntial nomination his managers wired orders for buttons. Here' was where a peculiar phase of the industry made 'itself apparent. IDEAS ALWAY.S ON TAP.
