AN OMAHA EDITORS DREAM.--A
gentleman who came in from Omaha
recently tells story about DIR. George
H. Miller, editor of the Omaha Herald,
which illustrates the sad condition in
to which dyspepsia has brought that
bright, proud man. Having carelessly
eaten broiled snipe just before going
to bed the other night, Dr. Miller
dreamed that he was dead and was
going to his eternal reward. He halt

mission of St. Peter. "Who are you?"

alist. "Miller, the Omaha editor"
sneered st. Peter. "Well, I've got
strict orders not to let you in here.
So move away from the gate as fast as
ever YOU can" DIR. Miller sadly bent
his footsteps towards purgatory, but
here, too, upon divulging his identity,
he was denied admission. AS last re-
sort he tapped upon the asbestos door
of hell and the arch fiend responded.
"Who are you," asked Satan with a
bitter leer. 81 am DR.. George III,
Miller, editor of the Herald, Omaha

soul. Hearing these words Satan pop.

the door quickly, and from the inside
informed the Journalist that there wa:
no room for him in hell. DIR. Miller
pleaded to be let in, but his pleading:

PHILOSOPHY OF JOSH BILLINGS
Sentimentals are individuals who. kan
feel more than they kan express, and at
times kan express a good deal more
than they feel. After all the gabble
about money, it il the luv ov money
that has civilized, ChristianiZed and
humanized the world. If we should
give the opinyns of others the same
Importance we klaim for our own, wiz
dunn would be a drug in the market.
When the eye talks, all the other feat
ures listen. Wizdum is broad sword,
wit a stiletto. Little things trubble
men Ov great minds more than big
things do. A philosopher will tremble
in his slippers at the nawing Ov a
mouse in wainscotte, when he would
face with perfekt composure an enfu-
rated elephant. Yu may preach or
pray a man out of his sins, but yu kant
klub him out of them, that is certain.
beleave somewhat in medicine, but so
long as dOktOrs continue to die don't
put ali mi phaith in pills. Thare il a
great deal ov poverty in the world,
and we find it az often amung those
who have too much welth az amung
those who have too little. Politeness
makes no blunders. 1t is safe tu be
polite even tn dog. Happiness is the
eazyest kind ov thing to define and
the hardest kind ov thing to dupli
kate. The most merciless kreditor we
kan have is the one who assures us we
need not pay until we get reddy
Thare is nothing most men are so vain
ov as their Opinyns, and thare is moth
ing that q man of sense IL so suspishu
Ov. Woman wins the race, not by
being first, but splendid seckOnd.

ed particularly to say is this: If yo
remain in the cars, and are not kille

How A Town BECAME PECULIAR
In Cass county, Mo-, is a town with
nothing peculiar about it except its
name, which is Peculiar. According
to local tradition it came to receive that
singular appellation in the following
manner: When the settlement had
become sufficiently pOpulous to need a
post Office one of the prominent citizens
sent petition to Washington to have
a post Office established. In reply he
was asked to suggest name that
would please the people, to which he
responded that "the people were not
particular so long as the name was
peculiar" Thereupon the post office
was christened Peculiar, and the name
has never been changed.
