He said the lawyer was a bad husband, bad father, bad nelghbor and generally a bad man morally though he had been very successful in his profession. For the funeral a new Preacher in the town was selected so that he would not know just what kind of a man the iawyer had been. The preacher arrived and asked a man standing by, who was pretty much of a Wag, what sort of a man the lawyer had been. The wag lauded the lawyer to the skies The preacher belleved all he said, arose and pronounced a poetic eulogy of the departed barrister. When he had heard all he could stand to hear without unburdening himself to some one present, the judge of the court in that town leaned over to a lawyer who sat beside him and rémarked: “Well, there's mighty little inducement for a really good man to die In Smithville now."—Philadeiphia Record it Fall on Stone Saves Her. By a display of exceptional presence of mind and unusual nerve, Mrs. William Taylor, living near Knob Mountain, Co- lumbla county, Pennsylvania, frustrated the attempt of two highwaymen to hold her up along a lonely mountain road, to the right of which a sheer precipice. At the most dangerous peint In the road she was commanded to Ralt by robbers, who appeared from either side of the road, and no sooner did she do so than she was Jerked from the seat apd thrown to the ground. Her hand alighted on a large stone, and this she seised, and, hurling it at one of the robbers, she regained her feet. The stone hit the man fair in te eye, and as the blood streamed down his face his com- panion rushed to his ald, atfording Mrs. Taylor an opportunity to jump into the carriage. Whipping up her horse, she made her escape, still in possession of her pocketbook. They Never Learn. “So Willlam Watson, the British poet, has married an Irish girl! Watson, to be sure, has a government position of $10 a week. Still' The speaker, a leading member of the Franklin fnn of Philadelphia shook his head ominously, “In the present depression of the poetry market poets shouldn't marry,” he said “But Watson has always been proud, un- reagonably proud, and self-confident, “Watson walked into the sanctum of an English magazine editor one day, laid a long ode on the desk and said: ‘' ‘Here's that 82-stanza ode I offered you three years ag: . * ‘But T refused it three years ago,’ said the editor, turning the pages of the manu- ,' Watson agreed, ‘that is true. ‘‘Then, If I refused It, why do you bring it back to me now?

Dr. Charlés MeCormick, the Chicago phy- siclan who says that “the man with the grouch” cannot resist disease like his more contented brother, referred again to this assertion at ‘d recent dinnes “The man with a grouch,” he sald, “is gloomy and gloominess brings on 11l health, weakness and dyspepsia. ‘A confirmed grouch cannot be got rid of. A grouchy man s governed by his grouch as a miser is governed by his mean- ness. And when it comes to misers— Dr. McCermick laughed. “A little, lean, pale miser of Pecatonic: he sald, “was one evening observed fight- Ing with the town blacksmith. Though his nose was bleeding and one eye was closed, the miser fought determinedly. The her- culean blacksmith planted blow on blow, but the little miser never budged an inch. “'Run, ye fool!’ hissed a friend. ‘Ye stand no chanee here. Run!' “But the little miser, as he recelved he- rolcally @ smashing left hook, answered in a low volce: “ ‘Run? Nix! I've got my foot on a 10- cent plece.’ "~New York Tribune. She Had Keyt His Seeret, They were discussing that old, old accu- ration agalnst woman that she cannot keep & secret. The late Mary 8. Anthony had listened attentively to the discussion; then t last she sald: “A woman can keep an important secret as well as a man. The secrets she reveals are slight and harmiess ones, sich as any man would reveal. Where is the woman Wwho ever tells a secret that reflects on her husband or her own children? “l know a man who one day refused to tell his wife the outcome of a business transaction, In which, quite naturally, she took a deep interest. “‘No,' he sneered when she asked him about it. ‘You women make me tired; you can never keep a secrat.’ “ ‘Roger, old fellow,’ replied the wife in Quiet, even tones, ‘have I ever told the se- cret about the solitaire engagemeént ring You gave me elghteen years ago being paste?” “‘And then he told her all about that busi- ness transaction, and he did not omit a single, tiny detail, either."—Philadeiphla Rig! “T've just spanked Ned. I don't know what course youw'll pursue with Stephen," remarked the mother's intimate friend. “‘What have the boys been up to mow?" “About the very last thing you'd fmagine, They've been eating luncheon with the Italian laborers working along the car |track. And you might as well know the worst at once—they've been eating meat | cooked in a shovel.” With a frantic vision of & hopelessly germ. riddled child, says the Springfield Union, Stephen's mother called her Interesting heir to speedy account. "I dldn’t eat luncheon with any strange men,” he indignantly persisted. ““Those men are all my dear friends. And T didn't eat any meat cooked In & shovel, either.” “What did eat, then?" “Only some gravy cooked in a shovel by one of the men.” Then perc larm in the maternal countenance, It was clean ali right, mother, for I saw the man wipe off the shovel with his hat before he poured in the gravy."—Youth's Companion. —— Sallor’'s Parson & Wit Thomas Bone. “the sallors’ mis- Was the soul of kindness, but he had & keen wit and & ready tongue, too. An instance given in his recently published life is the following: “His work was not witheut fts humorous side. Among the new men there were al- Ways some who sought & littie amusement St his expense. but they reckoned without their host. His kindly manner never changed. The smile never loft his face There was uo venom In the retort but it jseldom tailed (o silence the interrupter. The laugh ralsed at his expense made it quite certain that no second attempt would be made. Seeing him approaching one day, one of a group of sallors announced his intention of having some fun. Me stepped forward and removed his hat, revealing & perfectly smooth crown, and asked ‘Can you tell me why my head is so bald, while my companions have plenty of hair? 1 don't know,' was the smiling reply, ‘unless the reason given me the other day by a farmer would apply, that an empty barn 1s not worth shingling.' "—Rochester Herald, —e Strange Dol Munsey Some years ago Frank A. Munsey, the magasine man, hired a private secretary. Speaker Reed dropped In to call on Mr. Munsey, who was an old friend of his. The secretary sald that Mr. Munsey was en- Biged. AN right,” sald Reed, “T'll walt." At the end of haif an hour Munsey's door opened and the publisher appeared showing his caller out. Seeing the speaker, he grasped his hand and dragged him into his office. An hour later, when Reed had gone, Mr. Munsey called his secretary, “Look here, Block,” he sald you mean by letting Speake unannounced haif an hour “Wa-wa-wath that Mr. Reed?" “It certainly was.” “Why, 1 thought it wath the Rev.

It Is more difficult to gather together the evidence of It than it Is to set down the achlievements that show material advance- ment. The most signiticant of all is that any trained student of the people may turn where he will outside the political rings and he will find wholesome folks every- where living frankly, working cheerfully, full of ambition, lifting the level of life Figher. Every generation Is In many ways in advance of the preceding generation. The facliities for a high standard of lv- ing In Plerce county Is second to none in Nebraska. Reaching out from Pierce City there are twenty-one telephone lines with from ten to twenty farmers connected with each line In fact the whole county is one network of telephone wires; and about 8 per cent of the rural population are con- nected with these lines. This Is not only an educator to the rural population but it brings the farmer in close touch with the business man. In fact, it makes a busi- ness man of the farmer. Then the county has its full share of organizations, not the least of which Is the County Agricaltural soclety. Every town and city has its clubs and fraternal orders. In fact, there are many towns of Nebraska that are over organized. Especially is this the case with many of the county seats. As most organizations have the good of the general community In view, a vast amount of energy can be saved by uniting. Here is a board of trade, and a merchants’ assoclation and a woman's club and a re- tall grocers' assoclation and possibly oth- alming at the same end—the bet- terment of the community. Let all these affillate into a compact organization, pool the funds and do businges In a business llke way. Work up a healthy pubiic sen- timent for the home town among home people, The business men of Plerce have been very active and progressive, They have appreciated from the start the advantages of broad, well-kept streets with many shade trees. And they have taken much pride and pains with thelr homes and lawns. Their public bulldings are In ex- cellent condition and an honor and orna- ment to any city of their size. The com- merclal club is devoting some of their time, energy and cash in developing a good road sentiment and making It easier for the farmer to get to market. There is one branch of this work, however, that the average commerclal club hardly seems to be In touch with and that Is the great ben- efit to a town by the establishment and malntenance of a first class hotel: It is one of the best ads for a town and in most cases It can be made a profitable in- vestment, as the traveling public demands something good and s willing to pay for it. are House Boats (Continued from Page One.) the sharp top of a bob sawyer. The latter is & tree with iis roots held in the river bottom by the sand and mud, and its broken top bobbing up and down with the undulations of the current. It gets its name from the bobbing and sawing mo- tions imparted to it by the water. Most of the shanty boats are afloat in the rivers, being moored to the bank with a gangplank running to shore. Others, generally the older ones and those not In good condition, are beached in a favorahle spot during high water, and after the wat- ers recede are propped level with timbers and driftwood. Sometimes they are moored a few rods up the mouths of small streams, being half hidden by willows and overhanging yoamores, The greater part of them are gathered near the towns and citles o | the Ohlo river the favorite spots are at Wheeling, W.
