the rule of defense In certain important
railroad damage cases. The legislature
Undertook to provide that where a rail

of contributory negligence' can be used
only to reduce the damages allowed.. The

Get Into Habit of
Victory Says the
Harvard President
"If you get the habit of victory." said
Preelde'nt A. U. Lowell of Harvard uni
versity in an address to the high school
students at the High, school building yes
terday afternoon, "you will have some
thing mora valuable than the philosophers
of old would have had If they had suc
ceeded In finding the much-sought and
fabulous philosopher's atone."
President Lowell called attention to the
fact that the philosopher's stone was
supposed to give the possessot' the power
ot turning things into gold, while the
habit of victory, once acquired, would
give the possessor better thlnra than
sold.
"Is there such a thing as the habit of
vlotoryl" he asked. He answered hit
Own question by affirming that there
was. "Caesar's Tenth legion had It. and
everyone knewr they hod It, and the fact
that everyone know It and was afraid of
them made it easier for them -to keep It
No, they were not larger nor stronger
men than the men they mot in battle.
In fact, Caesar himself tells us that they
were smaller men than most ot the men
they met in the forests of what Is now
Belgium.
"The habit of victory Is acquired by
putting every ouneo ot effort Into every
thing that Is undei-taken. H will not be
acquired If you put in this reserve enercv
only now ani then' on rare occasions, You
must acquire the habit ot doing everj-

Magney Decides for
MoSnane in Matter
of Meals at the Jail
A decision of County Attorney Mag
ney that Sheriff MoShane la entitled to
collect M cents per day for feeding each
prisoner In the county jail was trans
mitted the Board of County Commis
sioners. This puts the next step In the
tight to prevent the sheriff from collect
ing alleged exorbitant profits up the
board. They may force the sheriff to
take the matter into the courts in order
that they may not be placed in the posi
tion of paying out large amounts of the
county's money unnecessarily.
County Attorney Magney decided that
the state supreme court had settled the
question in favor ot the sheriff when It
found the provision allowing feeding con
tracts to be let to the highest bidder un
constitutional and permitted the old law
allowing SO cenU per day to the sheriff

Seward Farmer
Saves Train from
Wreck by Tornado
With his cattle all let out into the
wheat fields, tilling themselves to the
bloating point, because the tornado ripped
his fences asunder, Frank Tipton, Jr.,
farmer, living three miles east, of Sew
ard, did not fall to remcmbor that human
lives aro more Important than those ot
cattle. After chasing a stubborn white
and black spotted cow for five minutes,
ho was led by the obBtlndte brute to the
edge 'of the field near tho curve In the
Burlington railroad where the road comes
through a deep cut Ho stopped short
In the cut wero a dozen telegraph poles
lying In contusion across tho rails.
Tipton consulted his watch.
Nearly 7 o'clook. In a few minutes It
would bo time for Burlington passenger
No. 21 to come round the bend.
Tipton leaped the fence and ran up the
track some fifty yards In the dlroctlon
from which the train was to come.
Ho had gono not many hasty paces
when the train hove in sight Black
smoke was snorting from the smoke stack
and Tipton knew tho fireman was mak
ing it climb. Tipton had no red flag;
He had no official signal ot any kind nnd
ha did not know what tho regular stop
signal of tho railroad Is, for he is an
industrious farmer and not a ra)lroad
man.
Common sense dtctnted. He slipped out
of his gray Jersey. The next instant the
Jersey wai? making great gray circles
about his head and was waving furiously
up and down. The train lurched on and
on Tipton held his ground until the
engine was nlmost upon him, when he
had to glvo ground. The train shot by
him, but already tho steam was hissing,
the brakes were shrieking; -and Tipton
knew that tho engineer had got the sig
nal.
When the engine came to the telegraph
poles it had slowed down, so that no
damage was done. Slowly It rolled the
clumsy poles into the yellow clay beside
the track and then camo to a dead atop.
Tipton came trailing up behind the
train. The brakeman got off. ''I didn't
know whether It was right to stop you
or not," TlPton explained.
'It was exactly the thing to do," the
brnkeman assured him.
There were some 300 passengers on the
train.
Tipton pulled on his Jersey. The engine
moVcd ahead cautiously. Tipton gath
ered up his hammer, fished a Tew staples
out of the pocket ot his blue overalls, and
started for the barn to repair his fences
so that he might keep the stubborn spot
ted cow In when he, should : finally get
her home. .'
EASTERN STAR VISITORS
NOW MAKING CHOP SUEY
There are several score of Nebraska
villages and hamlets that boast Order ot
Eastern Star local lodges, but not an up-to-date
Chinese chop suey parlor, but Into
these places the delights of chop suey,
yetcameln, yakamo, are now finally en
tering. During the convention of the Eastern
Star early ihfs week several parties of
women were taken' through some ot
Omaha's oriental restaurants. In one ot
them a woman asked for chop suey and
yakame recipes and being obliged several
score ot other women followed suit, It
then became necessary tor the proprietor
to have the recipes manifolded, but he
finally satisfied all ot the sightseers.
Now that the women are at their re
spective homes they ore trying out their
Chinese culinary skill. Omaha restau
rant men are now receiving Orders dally
for some ot the essential Ingredients that
have to be Imported from China
One woman, writing from Mlnden, says
a lot ot her neighbors are Interested and
she ordered an extra quantity of ma
terial for them.
