When Mndnme K"o wan told to leave because she ate u pippin
Of lunclouB hue nnd flavor, too, which Adam Bald was "rlppln","
8he heaved nnd sighed whon Adam cried ho thought she should ashamed
be,
And ao they flod Id Adam said, "That dratted serpent framed me!"
Whon Uncle Sam began to slam with energy terrific.
Tho neck of land and hills and sand that barred the blue Pacific,
Ho asked for tips from foreign ships, and queries, "Can you blame me?"
But Johnny Hull, with anger full, declares, "You've trlod to frame mot"
And so when Urown espies a frown on wlfey's brow a-wilnkllng,
Uecauso she h found somo objects round In trousers pockets tinkling,
Ho doesn t quail, or shrink, or pnlo, and think ho'll give tho game up,
Hut sports a sneer, nnd says, "My denr, that's nothing but a frame-up!"

MORTENSEN INHERITANCE.
TAX LARGEST IN VALLEY
OltD, Neb., Jan. 11. (Rperlal.)-The es
tate of the lato Peter Mortensen has
been settled, He bequeathed his ontlr
property to his widow and their only child,
Crawford J. Mortensen, appointing his
Widow executrix. The Inheritance tax
that has Juat been paid Is the largest
Valley county ever received from one
estate.'
The annua! meeting of the stockholder
of the Auditorium company was held
yesterday afternoon ut the Commercial
club, attended by a majority of the stock
holders with proxies representing all the
holdings. Tho financial report , showed
that the building can become a profitable
Investment, Dividends would have been
paid this HouHon If tho company had been
out of debt Tho showing was so satis
factory that Georgo li .Jlamllton was re
elected president and all of the officers
continued In their positions with Uie ex
ception of Vlco President Henry Tiaks,
who asked to be relieved. Lyman T.
Hhugart was chosen In his placo.
President Hamilton nUlfi If the company
had not been ohllged to spend $2,000 for
additional opera chairs to seat the main
floor and could have used Its surplus In
dividends, every stockholder would have
recelvod a dividend check. Ho stated that
the debt of tho company Is only about
113,000, adding that It was tho purpose of
the board of directors to sell about 118.000
worth of additional ttock and clear up
thl Indebtedness. The company Is cap
italized for JSO.OOO, and the sale of tho ad
ditional stock will make the entire Issue
considerably less than the legal limit.
He suggested various plans for Increasing
tho revenue for tho future and askel for
other suggestions.
Tho directors were Instructed to meet
with the executive committee of the Com
mercial club and the Knights of the Full
Moon and plan for nn autumn festival,
with tho Auditorium as the focal center,
tho remainder covering adjacent streets,
Including the new street that Is being
opened between Bryant nnd North Main.
The revenue for tho year showed re
ceipts from the Young Men's Christian
association revival meetings, pure food
show, political meetings and athletic
events. The receipts would hai been
Increased $1,000 or more If the furniture
factory which took the contract to sup
ply the new orchestra chairs for the '
main floor had kept Its faith and per-
mltted tho Marine band to have given
the concert that had been arranged for. '
It was practically determined also to
have this season's blooded stock solos In
the annex and endeavor to carry out tho
pavilion stock sale Idea that was a part
of the original plans when thoJcompany
was formed. Soma high-class musical
events will probably bo arranged for this
year.
When It came to the election of officers,
George F. Hamilton was unanimously re
elected president, E. 11. Doollttle treas
urer and K. I Duquette secretary. Ly
man T. Hhugart If the only new man In
the directory and official family, and
will hereafter be vice president. The
board "of directors are KiiKene Stupfel, J.
B. Hollenbeck, Henry Tiarks, Dr. Jen

$6,000 Surplus in
County Poor Fund
PottawHttamla county's poor farm,
which has been dignified by the tltlo of
county farm, Is approaching tho point
more closely eaf.h year when It will be
come fully self-suMalning and perhaps
some day be a dividend earner. The nn
nual Inventory of tho stock and personal
property contained in all tho various de
partments was completed yesterday by
a committee of the Hoard of Supervisors.
The reports filled a pretty good-sized
book, but owing to the fact that the
footings were not made the. total value of
tho property outside of lands and build
ings could not bo ascertained. Tho re
port became a purt of tho consideration
of the regular poor fund account of the
county.
Consideration of this account disclosed
the rather unusual condition of a largo
cash surplus In ho fund after all bills
have been paid. The balance amounts to
$6,000. and $3,000 of this will bo trans
ferred to the general fund.
The county farm Inventory shows seven
head of horses, twenty-eight head of cat
tle, ninety-five hogs and 200 chickens.
The Improvements made during the year
Include the new barn, which cost nbout
$3,000. a new hog houso with concrete
floor, new Implement shed, a new ffiO-ton
silo, sixteen feet In diameter and thirty
five feet high, made with hollow tile with
steel reinforcing, and $600 worth of new
tools. The county is coring for thirty
three people at the farm, many of whom
are helpless, but all who aro able to do
so contribute to, the working of the farm.
