Struggles for Life.

started up one winters night
All In an awful iutter.
And vowed that l, henceforth. would ear
NY salt and bread and butter.
And, first. thought I'd keep a school.
And. then. thought l wouldn't:
Because hate to try to rule.
And cause knew ! couldn't.
And. next, thought I'd keep store.
In some great town or city,
For II couldn't measure silk
And lsces, twas pity.
But standing on my feet all day
Vas more than pleased nv fancy;
l feared TO sink into nv shoes,
Like Reuben's sister Nancy.
So then | thought I'D write book.
And be famous poet.
That was the maddest scheme OF all
But. then, didn't know II.
And so bought pound OF tea,
Green as could desire.
And made IL strong. and drank IL hot,
My genius TO inspire.
II scalded as forced it down:
But was bent on trying
Ny project through. though II WAS hard
To keep myself from CRYING.
And when the hot and bitter dose
Was resolutely swallowed.
SAT all night with pen in hand
But not one stanza followed
Oh. II wa, hard. but on this theme.

Ny hope was crushed nv courage gone:
What could do but marry:
And SO when Reuben asked again.
II he his wife might make me.

There are many religions, but there is
only one morality. There are moral and
immoral religions, which differ as much in
precept as in emotion but there is only one
morality which has been, is, and must be
forever, an instinct in the hearts Of all civil
izea men. as certain and unalterable as their
outward bodily :orm, and which receives
from religion neither law nor peace, but
only JOY and felci,y.-Ruskin.

SPRING AND SUMMER DRESS GooDs-CON-
TRAsTs-LAcEs MILLINERY NOTES.

The advent of etamine or canvas in milli-
merry, has been prelude to its appearance
in dress goods, and We can easily Imsgine
how much with such factor can be accom-
plishetl by the young and coquet,ish. The
canvas Of course, is hut background to the
picture, but then what may not be done by
succession o: pictures? since we must
remember that it is not the material which
pleases so much as the portrayals in EN-
brodery or weaving, placed thereupon.
Wools will furthermore be changed in char
acter by the wool laces that as a new world
open up before US. Dress fronts will be
metamorphosed BY ''transparents," such be-
ing the name given broad widths of lace
brought out for the purpose and showing
selvedge on the upper side with ornamental
edge on the lower, the costume being other
wise trimmed in keeping. Contrast comes
in too as an element of attraction numer-
will be of pale
wooLs
relieved and partially covered by creamy
wool lace, or black lace again may serve as
an offset to crimson. inexpensive silks
can thus likewise be combined and late de-
velopments show US entire skirts made OF
wool lace with silk below. Velvet or Nom
pareil velreteen polonaises form stylish over
garments to be worn with these skirts, and
not few are being made for society bellies.
Frise ideas progress and extend now to light
woods while near akin are bourette woods
with their peculiar knottinss. Wool grapes
are newer than veilings; and as notable
feature in all classes Of goods are tinsel
threads, either traversing the fabric or
wrought in figures. Bison serge will form
serviceable dresses and mohair again shows
itself; making a special bid for favor in
checked styles that will be in huge demand
for travelling coats. since they shed the dust,
are durable and have silky lustre. There is
much else 10 tell OF. but space fails so may
add that Lord x lay lor viii furnish inform
alton on any topic. as also all varieties Of
spring goods and

The Reason why.

My son, there's nothing on earth so
mysteriously funny as newspaper adyer.
iisement The prime. first, last and all The
time object Of an advertisement is TO draw
custom. II 10 not, was not, and mover will
be designed for any other human purpose.
30 the merchant waits until the busy sea-
son comes and his store Is so full of custom
he can't get his hat of, and then he
rushes to the newspapers and puts in his
advertisement. When the dull season gets
along and there Is no trade and he wants
to sell goods so bad he can't pay his rent,
he takts out his advertisement. That is,
some of them do, but occasionally level
headed merchant puts in bigger one and
scoops all the business while bis neighbors
are making mortgages to pay the gas bill.
There are times when you couldn't stop
people from buying everything In The
store II you planted a cannon behind the
door, and that's the time the advertisement
is sent out ON It's holy mission. II makes
light work for the advertisement, for
chalk sign On the sidewalk would do all
that was needed and have q half holiday
six days in the week, but who wants 10
favor an advertisement. They are puilt
TO do hard work and should be sent out in
dull days when customer has to he
knocked down with hard fac 8. and kicked
insensible with bankrupt reductions and
dragged in with irresistible slaughter ot
prices before he will spend cent. Thars
the aim and end Of an advertisement, my
son, and u you ever open store don't try
tn get them to come when they are already
sticking out of the windows, but give
them your advertisement right between
the eyes in the dull season and you will
wax rich and own fast horse and per.
haps be able to smoke q good cigar once
or twice a year. Write this down wh,re
you will fall over II every day. The time
to draw business is when you want basi-
ness.-[ Bridgeport Post.

Writing Mean Letters.

Mr.. Robert Burdette, the genial humnr.
list Of the Burlington Hawkeye, nas again
been taking the public into bis confidence
by telling how he sits down upon his enc
mics. We think IL his plan was generally
adopted there would be great deal Of
friction overcome between buyers and
sellers. Flying into temper over some
business error or mistake frequently leads
to the writing Of harsh letter that will
soan afIer place the author on the stool of
repentance or In the valley oi humiliation.

Use Of the Telegraph.

This is commercial age. Commerce
is the dominant force in this busy practi
cal era Science in It's wide realm and
inventive genius through its entire range
are each rendered tributary to the com.
msnds Of trade. Steam is the great pro-
pelling force on land and sea, and the
telegraph the chief iransmitter Of market
values.
Telegraphic news is necessity. Com

Telegraphic communications increases II,
an exacf ratio with the expansion Of trade
Countries that make most use Of the tele.
graph have the largest commerce. Meas
ured by this standard this country is the
greutest commercial nation. The tele.
graph has made more progress in the
United States than in any other country.
The nrmber Of American telegraph
offices in 1882 was 1917, and the number
of ielegrams sent during that period was
4O,5Sl,177. The number Of telegram ofiic.
es In Great Britain and ireland in 1882
was 5,747. The number OF telegrams for.
wardrd being S2,065,02o. Germany had
l0,s03 offices. the humber of kilograms
forwarded being ls,382,l73. France hud
6,3l9 Offices, with 28,200,124 kilograms
forwarded. Russia had 2.819 offices and
the number Of kilograms sent were $780,

Of kilograms forwarded being 1880, 1856.
British India had 1,O25 Offices, the number
Of kilograms sent being 4.066,S43. Spain
had 647 Offices, and the number h iele.

forwarded in these three last mentioned
coun ries were 3046,is2, 7,O62,2s7 and

The above statistics show that this

they had hunted out the devil that had

the Indians, Laura married Eli Soper,

A FRONTIER ROMANCE.
The History which Recent Eiopemeat
In Nebraska Emphasizes.
[0maha Paper.l

lOihhhu khpef'I
The elopemlnt Of Mrs. Laura Soper, OF
Beatrice, Neb., with james Vance, a butch
or, brings to mind an interesting bit Of
frontier history. Mrs. Soper's maiden
namo was Laura Roper, she being the
daughter Of the Hon. Joseph d. Roper, Of
Gage County. In 1867 Laura was beauti-
fuf girl OF eighteen, and was engaged 10 n
young train boss named Kelly At that
time there were no settlements west Of the
Big Sandy, In Thnyer County, except at
the military posts and ranches along Uncle
Sans highway. These ranches usually
consisted OF rude log house surrounded
by a stockade, and were from forty to fi.ty
miles apart Kelly started an establish
ment Of this kind at Oak Grove, situated
on the Little Blue, In what Is now Nuckolls
County. On the day Of the fearful Indian
massacre, In August, 1861, Laura was going
from spring Ranch TO Oak Grove by stage.
The Indians on that day made a general
attack on the whites oil along the travelled
road, from Julssburg clear east to the Big
Sandy, nearly two hundred miles, bands
Of savages springlng on tho little
settlemencs simultaneously. The stage
In which Laura was riding was
rlddled with bullets, and the driver and
other passengers killed, the girl being car
ried OF prisoner. She was taken TO Oak
Grove, where the Indians dscoyed her low
er into conversation with the chiefs, and
then killed him before her eyes. From
Kelly's ranch the red fiends went to the
home OF the Ubanks family, where they
shot ten people, sparlng only young girl
about Laura's size and age. Miss Roper's
friends, with the aid Of the military, made
long search for the captives, but nothing
could be heard OF them except when arov-
Ing scout or trapper wonld occasionally
come In and report having seen two whito
women held by the Utes. Two years alter
the Massacre the girls were found living
with tho Indians on the Arkansas River In
Southern Colorado, and In March, 1896.
they were secured by the United States
troops. They had boon brutally outraged
BY the Indians, and suffered every indiK.
