Officers were elocted by the Nebraska
Art association Thursday evening. The
constitution was signed by nearly sixty
persons, and the prospect of getting a
large membership is very flattering. The
aim of the organization is to create a

President Hall, in addressing the asso
ciation on taking the chair, congratu
lated the members upon the interest
shown. He thought it a good omen that
so many determined people were back
of the effort to create a live interest in
art in Nebraska. The work would be
not only a pleasure, but a benefit, to
every person who entered upon it. He
advocated the principle of individual
work and a Eked every person present to
see that he secured one or two new

he prophesied success.

The Hermit took from a closet in the
wall a much-thumbed volume. The
captain opened it and beheld a Chinese
translation of the Holy Bible.
"I read that when I've nothing to do
through the winter," said the Hermit.
''How did you happen to come to this
part of the world?' asked the captain.
"Rum," replied the Hermit. "It keeps
a man drifting, you know. Some day I
shall write a history of my life as a
warning to others. Perhaps I deserve
all that I have received. Perhaps I

The mystery of life and death are no
more difficult to fathom than the mys
tery of destiny. The mind that swings
the planets in their orbits is no more in
scrutable than that which sends the
sons of men groping through the laby
