prosperous llfu company, tlio Hankers Ku
sorvu Life AHHoulatloti of Omaha, "Hint
every farmer In Nebraska Is a IUiik and
uvery citizen a prince?"
"Von Interest mi'. Kluhornto," said tho
Interested leporter who hud Just been kick
ing about the weather we aru all worrying
over.
"Kor four yearn Nebraska liau enjoyed
excellent crops and IiIkIi prices for liur pro
ducts livery farmer who owns IiIh land huu
earned inoro than oiioiikIi in pny the Iur
uIiuhu price of It dnrliiK that period. As a
consoipiot'cu, practically every farinur In
Nebraska omih IiIh farm, liaH money In
bank and owns himself entirely. How fur
Ih that from I lie kingdom of common sense
and comfort '!
"Then again uvery man in Nebraska who
wants work and Ih willing to bu employed,
can earn wages and with IiIh wages como
all the comforts of table and hearthstone.
T bo the owner In fee simple of a No
briiHka farm Ih to he aH independent aw u
king, lord of all liu HiirvuyH and fieu from
fear of want or foreign fou. When the
farnierH arc UlngB the ri'Ht of ua are only a
little worse off and wn aro prlnceH of tlio
realm.
"No Utah! In the great prosperous,
wealthy American unlc.n can point to the
llmuiclal liidepctiilence cli.loyed now by
NeliraHka earned In ho short a period. We
are growing cattle, sheep, hugs and horses
for the markets of the world, our grnnnr

capacity,
"Wo have within uh all the power and
potentiality of Independence. Our hanks
have more money than they need. Interest
rales were never so low and prosperity la
ours In chunks bin enough delight the
rarest optimist In existence.
"And wo can hold our Huprcumey of the
people If the state can learn In times like
these to prepare for the rcerseH which
sometimes follow a period of prosperity.
With plethoric hank uecoiintH we can per

sighted policy.
"The Hankers Heserve Life Association
proposes to use Its lulluunee toward up
building heme Institutions, so that when
(ho evil days come upon the community,
the savings of the good times now passing
will not be locked up In caHtern money
vaults, but will be In circulation at lionu
among our own people, maintaining low in
terest charges and acting as ballast to the
ship of commerce on the troubled sea ot
panic or prostration."

MAKER to WEARER
stnlth, Bnvo that It Is In n long, nnrrow
ledgo on ono aldo of tlio melting room.
There were perhaps a scorn of such fur
naces, nnd nearly nil were filled with gold
nt tlio time of my visit. The fuel wns
coke, and n strong draught made such a
heat that the gold bubbled like boiling
water. 1 was dazzled when I looked Into
tho pots. The liquid was green rather than
yellow. I saw II poured out Into molds nnd
tlio Htrenm was a current of emeralds on
n bed of light yellow more benutlful than
anything of the kind I hnve over Been.
Lntcr on. when tho molds wero opened, the
green had disappeared nnd tho metnl hnd
becomo u bright golden yellow.
I next watched thorn roll out tho bars
Into tho hoops from which tho gold coins
aro rut. Kuril bnr was worth $2, GOO, or
EfiOO. It wns a ruler of gold twonty-flvo
Inches long, two Inches wldo nnd not qulto
half nn Inch thick. A lot of such bars
voro wheeled on trucks out of tho melting
room Into tho rolling room. Hero they
wero pressed between grrnt stcol rollers,
which mndo them longer nnd thinner. At
tho stnrt ench wns twonty-flvo Inches long!
nt tho finish ench hnd borotno fourteen feet
long. It hnd grown ns thin as n sovereign
nnd tho pressing hnd polished It so thnt
It shono like n new brenstpln. Tho gold
grows hot ns It Is rolled. Tho men em
ployed wenr thick gloves, or tholr hnnds
would bo blistered.
MnkltiK Colli Sovereign.
Tho next process Is rutting the blanks.
This Is done by steel punches worked by
machinery. The machines cut out the cold
metal. In much the same wny that the
baker cuts dough In making .gingerbread
men or animal crackers. The only dif
ference Is that tho gold Is cut out by n
steel disk worked by steam. You hear
It chop. chop. chop, as It punches out
sovereigns at ninety to the minute, or nt
the rnte of $27,000 per hour.
Harh blank will innko a sovereign, nnd It
has Just that much of gold In It. Knch
blank Is weighed to seo thnt It Is nbso
luely necurate, nnd Is then run through a
(olnliig press which stnmps the Imngo of
the king upon It nnd at tho snino time
presses In the milling about the edges. All
of this work Is done with cold steel press
ing upon the cold gold The only heat after
the moiling Is that which conies from the
friction mused by the enormous weight on
the metal. RtANK O. OAUPISNTKIt.
A Bachelor's Reflections
New York Press: When marrlnge Is not
an opportunity It Is an Importunity.
No man enn keep nhead of himself nnd
behind his wife at the same time.
Some men are so menu that you can
Hat tor them by sticking up your nose at
their wives.
You can't always Judge of a family's
Importance in a town by looking at tho
clothes Hue.
It Is n wotnnn's ambition to be so well
known that other women will wonder what
kind of a husband she has got.
A woman loses her left glove oftener
than shit does the other becnilso she wears
her prettiest rings on that hand.
Nine times out of ten. when n man
throws himself away he finds a woman
waiting on the spot where he 'lights, to
catch him
It will probably always be n mystery
what Oenernl Sherman would have said It
was If he had been talking about innr
rlago Instead of war.
Nothing tickles a woman so much ns to
seo another woman that she Just hates
wearing n new hat that she tried on her
self and knows exactly tho price of.
Dode It
Chicago Tribune: Tho Apostle Pete
had Just preached his wonderful sermon
It had resulted in ,1,000 converts.
"Hut how aru you going to baptize so
ninny at ono time?" asked one of the
other prenchers.
'If you please, brother," replied Peter,
"wo will not disturb tho good feeling of
tho occasion by any discussion concerning
tho modo of baptism. Let us leave nil that
to tho sectarians of future ages."
