Nebraska at New Orleans.
Omaha Herald.

Chairman Dinsmore's and ex-Gover-
nor Furnas' efforts to secure proper
representation of the Industries of this
state at the New Orleans exposition,
are both timely and commendable.
Timely because prompt action is nee
essary to make the exhibit as extensive
and varied as possible. and commend
able because the object is to bring our
interests prominently before the people
of this and other countries. The exhi-
bition excites everywhere the liveliest
interest, and the representation will be
unsurpassed by any display of the
same kind ever made in the United
States. Nebraska's development dur
ing the last few years has been so rapid
and SO wonderful that it can scarcely
be realized by those who have not kept
close and constant watch over it. In
some products we should be able, and
most assuredly willing to make
splendid display. What this state,
and what the whole country needs, is
more markets. The New Orleans ex-
hibition presents the opportunity to
advertise ourselves, and show to the
WOllo WHdG VIC nave dCCOIupllSucu,
and what more we are still further ca
pable of doing. The people of Nebras-
ka should respond promptly and liber-
ally to the call of the commissioners, if
they are to do their part in the great
work of finding new markets for their
surplus products and receive their
share of the returns from the New Or
leans exhibition.
Aside from the $4,000 to be raised by
the state at large to defray the ex-
penses of making proper exhibition of
Nebraska products, it is proposed that
each county shall subscribe from 5000
to $500 for the purpose of making an
exhibit within the state exhibit. John
son county leads off in this part of the
enterprise with fund of 5000, and it
will undoubtedly be the most profta-
bly, expended of any money ever spent
by her people. There is good exam
pie here for other counties in the state,
and one which they should not be slow
to follow. Our own county of Douglas,
for instance, could make magnificent
and it should be an easy mat
ter to raise $500 among our merchants
and business men for that purpose.

Lexington Letter TO st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A quaint old couple with whom all
Lexington claims kinship are DR.. and
Mrs. Chinn. "There was newspaper
man from Chicago down here once and
he wanted to see all the curiosities, so
they brought him to see me-" said the
old lady spontaneously, recognizing
the fact that she is considered one Of
the characters of the blue grass coun-
try. Aunt Kitty Chinn came here in
1902. She remembers visit made to
st. Louis in 1918, and the festivities of
the other day brought back to her the
memory of barbecue she attended on
the Dunlop place when President Mon
roe was present. Wonderful are the

after listening to this old lady's viva
cious "reminiscences, the visitor learns
from her that she is SO years old. DR..
Chinn has just turne into the nine

since these two old people joined for
tunes. They had attended the same
church for more than fifty years, and

Which will not pass without q trace
OF things We are not dreaming now.
First, passions wild and dark and strong,
And hopes and powers and feelings high,
Then manhood's thought, rushing thrOng,
Shall sink the cheek and dim the eye;
And brows shall grow all dim with care
And lips shall writhe with scorn or pain,
Then age come on with hoary hair
And sadly tend to earth again.
And cheerful fancies one by one
Shall slowly fade from day to day,
And then from weary sun to sun -
Ye will not have the heart to play;
But oft amidst the shifting scene
Yen smile on childhoods thoughtless joy,
And wish you might have ever been
The careless, laughing, happy boy.

Ttcenty Minutes for Matrimony- Personal
and General Notes.

1tcenfy Minutes for MdfriDt0ny-Persondt
and General Notes.
Lincoln Journal.
There is usually little of romance
about railroad depot or about rail-
road travelling in general; but the busy
time of the departure of the trains yes
terday was enlivened by slightly ro-
mantle incident, which aroused the in
terest Of quite number of travellers
and railroad men whose attention was
attracted to it. When the AtchisOn
train came in, gentleman with a tall
white hat met lady, who got off the
train exhibiting at the same time con-
siderable degree of haste as well as of
interest in the lady The cause of his
agitation became evident when he asked
the conductor to hold the train a few
minutes until he could take the lady to
the Arlington and make her his bride.
He had come down from York under
the impression that he had three hours
and half instead of twenty minutes
in which to attend to the pleasant and
important business which called him
here. The conductor saw Mr.. Coons,
who is acting superintendent in Super
lntendent thompson absence, and he
directed that the train should be held
few minutes if necessary. By this
time the couple had taken a hack for
the Arlington, and good many of the
boys about the depot and several pas
sengers had learned what was in the
wind, and the return of the hack was
watched with lively interest. During
the absence of the couple the Journal
man ascertained that the gentleman
was Mr.. E. E. Armor, county superin-
tendent of York county, and the lady
Miss Roe, who has been a teacher in
the public schools of York for some
time. Within few minutes after the
time for the train to start the hack APP
peared. The parties who left in it few
minutes before as Mr.. Armor and Miss
Roe now got out of it as Mr.. and Mrs.
Armor, and when they had boarded the
train the conductor gave the word and
the train moved off.

What I Want My Boy to be.

him taught morality, not in theory
only, but with that deep enthusiasm
for the right, the true, the good, the
beautiful, without which no virtue is

him to be religious without being theo-
logical, pious without being hypocrit-
ical, and jealous without being fanat-
ical. 1 want him to have faith with
out superstition and religion without
bigotry. You remark that all this is

Operating for "Lumpy Jaw"
Chicago Times.

SutcdBO IiWoe.
The operation yesterday morning of
DR.. Murphy on his supposed lumpy-
jawed patient was witnessed at the
county hospital by several physicians
and invited gentlemen. The case was
diagnosed by the doctor as lumpy- jaw,
and when, about ten days ago, he made
an incision into the seat of the malady
a quantity of pus was discharged
through the opening. One of the eye
witnesses of the operation describes it
substantially as follows: A long incis-
ion was made in the neck under the left
jawbone. Deeply imbedded in the mus
cles were discovered series of minute
nodules. The little masses appeared
quite hard, and their color in contra
distinction to that of the muscle was
whitish. The nodules resembled in ap-
pearance and size mustard seeds. At
ter the removal of the tiny masses it
was discovered that a certain spot on
the under surface of the jawbone was
extremely sensitive to touch That cir
cumstance could not be explained salts
factorily. Two molars on his jaw were
then extracted. The back toothe was
found to be diseased, and the introduce
ton of probe into the cavity carried
the wire clear down and through the
bone to the very spot whence the small
masses had been removed. After the
wound had been dressed and tempo
rary compress been adjusted to stop the
slight hemorrhage the patient was put
abed.
Then DR.. Murphy and his two assist
ants, Drs. Tenger and Verify, with the
other gentlemen, proceeded to the sheds
of the hospital and there inoculated
calf with portions of the small masses
removed from the wound, The matter
was put into the upper back surface of
the tongue, and also smeared between
the lining membranes coyering the in
ferior jawbOne and the inner surface of
the thigh. The object of applying
portions of the nodules in the above
named spots on the calf is done with the
supposition that cases of lumpy jaw
will be developed there. The time re-
quired for the development of the dis
ease is given at from two weeks to
eighteen days. The idea of inoculat-
ing calf after the case has already
been so positively diagnosed seems abb
surd. This being the first case in this
country, the question arises, how does
the attending physician know so posi-
lively that the case is one of 1umpy
jaw, and yet why does he experiment
on calf and try and develop the dis
ease in the thigh of the animalP 0Again,
if these little nodules shall develop
similar ones in the calf, and particu-
larly in the thigh of the animal, will
that be an evidence of lumpy jaw? 1t
has not yet been definitely determined
that cases of the disease can or do ex-
list in human beings, and even if the in
oculated calf shall present or reproduce
the same state of affairs as those found
in DR.. Murphy's patient, that will not
decide that the case was lumpy jaw,
particularly if the poison which was
applied in the calls thigh shall CORE

A Dinner With Thackeray.
James Payne In the independent,

l first saw Thackeray at the house of
my brother-in-law, with whom l was
then staying in Gloucester Place. They
had lived together as young men at
Weimar, but had never seen one an
other since, and their meeting was very
interesting. Their lines in life had
been very different; but the recollections
of old times drew them together close
~. A curious and characteristic thing
happened on the occasion in question.
There were dozen people or so at din
ner, all unknown to Thackeray; but he
was in good spirits and made himself
very agreeable. 1t disappointed me
excessively when. Immediately after
dinner, he informed me that he had a
most particular engagement, and was
about to wish good night to his host.
''But will you not even smoke cigar
frst??" l inquired. ga cigar? Oh!
They smoke here; do they? Well, to
tell you the truth, that was my engage
ment,'' and he remained for many
hours. There was an ancient gentle
man at the table, who had distin-
guished himself half a century ago at
college, by whom the novelist was much
attracted, and especially when he told
him that there was nothing really orig
inal in modern literature; everything,
he said, came Indirectly, more or less,
'front.' think he said-Pindar.
''But, at all events, Pindar did not
write Vanity Fair" said.
eyes, SIR answered the old gentle
man, ''He did. In the highest and no
blest sense Pindar did write it.
This view of affairs, which was quite
new to him, delighted Thackeray, who
was so pleased with his evening that
he invited the whole company-four-
teen in ALTO dine with him the next
day. mention the circumstance, not
only as being a humorous thing in
itself, but illustrative of a certain boy
ishness and impulsive strain that there
was in his nature. He told me after
ward that, when he subsequently went
to the club that night, he had felt so
dangerously hospitable that it was all
he could do to prevent himself 'asking
some more people, and as a matter of
fact, he did ask two other guests. He
had been very moderate as to wine
drinking, and was only carried away
by a spirit of geniality, which now and
then overmastered him. The guests
who had so much taken his fancy-or,
perhaps it was only the ancient Classic
whom he could not well have invited
without the others-were of course de-
lighted with their invitations, but
many of them had scruples about &C
cepting it. They called the next af-
ternoon in pairs, to know "what we
were going to do about it, and
whether we thought Mr.. Thackeray
had really meant it." For my part I
should 60 if 1 went alone; and 60 we
did. An excellent dinner we got, not
withstanding the shortness of the no
tice; nor, in our kind hostess manner
could be detected the least surprise at
what must, nevertheless, have seemed
a somewhat unlocked for incursion.
