without estate when ho was a mere led
living In Iowa , his birth state , and con
sequently he hud to hustle for a living from
early years. He served as a farmhand
several years during the farming season
and occasionally attended -the country
schools In winter. He graduated from
Parsons college , Fairfleld , la. , In 1885 , mov-
ng to Nebraska In that year to take a place
n the faculty of Hastings college. All
ils political life has been realized in No-
iraskn , having represented the Fifth Ne
braska district In the Fifty-fourth congress.
Since assuming theauditorship for the
Treasury department ho has passed upon
moro and larger accounts than any officer
n the history of the country. Mr. Andrews
s a student , the habits of study formed
as a boy standing him in gcod stead now
hat he is a part of President McKlnley'a
oniclnl family.
William 'H. Michael , chief clerk of the
OHN HYDE , CHIEF STATISTICIAN FOR
AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT.
State department , has enjoyed confidential
elatlons with many of the nation's leading
non of the past quarter of a century. Ho
amo to Washington from Grand Island ,
where the nt ono time edited the Timea of
hnt city , to take the place of clerk of the
enato committee on printing and compiler
of the Congressional Directory , cnado va
unt by the death of Benjamin Porley Pooro.
Colonel Michael Is a wounded soldier with
a record for faithfulness and gallantry of
vhlch any man might be proud. Ho has
icon an ardent republican all his life and
md Elaine been elected president would
mvo been appointed United States marshal
or Nebraska , as bo had the endorsement
f the entire delegation of that state. Ho
jecamo chief clerk of the State department
under Secretary John Sherman and has
opt It through Secretaries Day's and Hay's
dmlnlstrntlons. Michael was born in Ohio ,
vhlch may account for his present position ,
or Ohio and Indiana seem to have the blg-
cst pull with the administration BO far
is lucrative places go. But these are not the
nly Nebraskans by any means holding
csponslbla positions hero In Washington.
The War department has several bright
oung men from Nebraska , In the postofllco
cpartmont there are others , and If a
Nebraska colony could bo organized In this
city I have no doubt that a hundred actlvo
Nebraskans could bo Induced to sign the
rolls. All of which comes of being In
touch with the administration.

A Letter from

John Steel , General Agent Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Co. , Omaha , Neb. :
Dear Sir I have yours of the 19th Inst.
giving results on my policy No. 192,047.
This policy is a 30-year endowment with a
10-year distribution or semi-tontine period.
Issued September 2d , 1SS9 , at the ago of 49.
Annual premium ? 477.00.
I aim now offered several options of set
tlement , one of which-is cash :
Reserve guaranteed In policy. .J2.478.GO
And surplus 1,885.43
Total cash value $1,363.93
which , should I surrender the policy , would
have given mo ? 10,000 Insurance from ago
49 to ago 59 for $406.07. That the cash
value should bo over 70 per cent In excess
of what the company guaranteed ton years
ago , and $139.93 more than the estimate
you gave me when you took my application ,
Is a surprise to me.
I have for many years carried the largest
amount of llfo Insurance of any citizen of
Nebraska , and hold policies In nearly all
the loading companies. But the North
western has on this , as well as other policies
I hold In your company , given me by far
the best results.
I attribute your company's success largely
to Its superior nnethod of Investing its funds
and careful selection of risks.
Yours very truly ,
E. ROSEWATER.

N they kin have 'em if they wish.
But give mo a peed ol' country dish
Thanksgiving.
Don't seem like so long ago ,
Slncp thro * fields or drifted Know ,
All bundled up In shawls 'n1 scarf * ,
With merry Jokes 'n1 rlngln' laughs
Wo rode to Grandma's by the score
'
N' flljo would meet us at the door ,
Klnfolk. wandered far and wide ,
Turned up then ter nil ther hide
Thanksgiving.
rh old brick ' ' '
oven snnp'd 'n' roared ,
Cooking good things for th' horde ,
Turkeys Bluffed 'n' chicken pics ,
Such a slcht for mortal eyes ;
Cookies white 'n' dimpled round ,
Biscuits Jest a trine browned :
Bverythnir ! waa nice 'n' hot
When they hod th' table sot
Thanksgiving.
All the family wuz .there ,
I'rom squalling lmbc to whitened hair ,
'
N' then some others used ter be ,
lirrkoned In th' family tree ;
R\V \ / " " " * because bo hnd no folks ,
N Jnbez Brown for craokln' Jokes ;
'
N' everybody got his fill
In that old farmhouse on th' hill
Thanksgiving.
Jim Gibson brought his fiddle down ,
HP that married Nancy Brown ,
N Charlpy Gray , that studied books ,
One er th' daughter * liked hs ! looks :
Allim a place for "Jockey" Foss ,
A mnrster feller with a IIOBB , .
'N' Snulro Jenks , with manners bad ,
Would call around 'n' join th' glad
Thanksgiving.
No Htylo was at that homely feast ,
'N' fashion counted not th' feast ,
Good , honest folks , with simple ways.
With laughter lengthened out the ( lays ;
"rwtit help yeraolf ter nil In sight ,
From turkey down ter biscuits light.
But not till Grandpa , bowing low ,
Would offer up n solemn , slow
Thanksgiving.
That was forty years ago ,
'N' many a winter's drlftln' snow
Has circled 'round th' old homo place
'N' vainly sought a familiar face ;
Most all dead ' '
are 'n' laid away
Who gathered there that winter's day ,
But o'er th' graves th' snowdrifts sing
A glad 'n' Joyous offering
ThankBglving.
