Two Omaha Men Divide a "Pot" o

 SIa, 500.
 Yesterday evening Bee reporter had the pleasure of meeting the two happiest men in Omaha. It was at the restaurant and saloon of F. Pop peDdick, at the corner of Howard and Thirteenth streets. Mirth and merri- ment were the order of the day, and on making inquiry 1t was ascertained that William Poppendick, the genial host of the saloon, and Robert Price, wholesale butcher of Tenth street, were the joint winners of fourth share ot the third capital prize of &5o,00 in the Louisiana State Lottery. 21 1901 was the lucky number and was one of the four pure. ased by the gentle man named for S2O. On receiving the list of winning numbers the ticket was at one placed in the hands of the First National bank. and yesterday the full amount of the prize, less a small sum for collection, was paid over by the bank io Mg. roppeDiick, and the "pot" duly divided with his pard. "No," said MT. Poppendick, "the money wasn't here for Christmas, but l ain't kicking about that, it was well come just the same, and will he a good starter for the new year. Ever specu- lated before-well, not much. l have invested ss in the lottery on previous occasions but. never drew anything" !" MT. Poppendick came to this city from Topeka some seven months ago and is well-known as a saloon man all over Kansas. Mir. Price has been in business in Omaha for a considerable time. Both gentlemen have received the congratulations of hosts of friends. Omaha (Neb.) Bee, Dec. 29.

 When Rulwer placed the mann- script of "rclham" in the hands ot Coihurn, that publisher gave it to his chiri reader far an opinion. He re- turned IL with "tittcrlv worthless" pcncillcd on the first pagc. \ second reader reported more iavonhly.

 There are no homes nestled down in copsrs of wood or mansions surrounded by lordly parks. The music of no distant church bell reaches and lulls me. nor does the carol of the noun tain herdsmaD, the chants des r0ches, co'ne in wavy deliciousness from any distant lofty pasturagc. But In place of these one looks upon mountains cutting the sky with lofty cones, green to the very summit, and clothed with a wealth of forests far yp the sloping sides-ranges of hills from one to five thousand feet high, not stretch ing In fatiguing sameness, but notched broken. bent In short. graceful curves, then lifting into sharp points, never the same fin any direction, and never hurting the eye by rocky coldness or sandy or brown barrenness But few peaks exist in the land so lofty as to reach beyond the line of vegetation. When the tree line is passed there comes grassy verdure sO luxuriaBt that the tallest heights seemed clothed in emerald velvet. One looks far up narrow valleys, which elsewhere would be wild gorges, and sees them ierraccd far into their depths and var icgated with various crops in all stages of maturity from those but lately planted and freshly green to others golden and ready for the sickle. Every mountain slope, every noun tain gorge, is thus terracei as far up as streams offer opportunity for the irrigation.

Cows in Finland.

To anyone who could be satisfied
with an unvarying diet of fish and
black bread, accompanied by the best
cream and butter that can be found
anywhere, it would be easy to satisfy
his wants in any part of the country.
How the cream and butter come to be
so good is a mystery to me, for assur-
edly the Finnish cows are the worst
and most scantily fed of their kind.
What cow that respected herself would
be satisfied with hay soup in which the
water formed so unfair a proportion
to the hayF The most meager-looking
hay, mixed with the dry branches of
alder, SINNERS in huge iron pot, and
one sees the poor beasts dipping their
noses into the unsavory broth and fish
ing out its soddened contents with the
evident relish of hunger. 1t was COM
planned to me by a resident in the
country that COWS could not be induced
to look upon sawdust as the staple of
their food. How far he had seriously
made the trial | do not know, but
should he ever succeed, there will be a
rich prospect for Finland in dairy
farming. MuTrGy's Magazine.

The Roman Circus.

Such curious and beautiful creatures
were brought before our eyes as l had
scarce known even in my readings.
And, as if their natural beauty were
not enough, art had been called in to
increase their attraction. There were
ostriches-'tis a bird, if you will be-
ieve me, of full six cubits in height
dyed with yermiion; and lions whose
names had been gilded, and antelopes
and gaZelles, which were curiouslv
adorned with light-colored scarfs and
gold tinsel. should weary you were
l to enumerate the strange creatures
which | saw. Besides the more COM
mon kinds, there were river-horses Cts
clumsy beast, and as little like to a
horse as can be conceived, except, they
say, as to the head when the upper
half is protruded from the water), and
rhinoceroses, and zebras, (beasts Curl
ously striped and not unlike to very
elephants. Though l liked not the ar
tiicial adjoining of some of these
creatures which, indeed, I thought
proof of a certain vulgarity in these
Romans could not but admire the
skill with which all these animals had
been taught to keep in subsection their
natural tempers and to initiate the
ways of men. This was especially
manifest in the elephants. One of these
huge beasts, balancing himself most
carefully, walked on a rope tightly
drawn Other four, on the same diff
cult path, carried between them a lit
ter in which was a fifth, who repre-
sented a sick person. And even more
wonderful than these were the lions
and other beasts of a similar kind. 1t
has always been a favorite marvel of
the poets, how Bacchus was drawn in
a chariot by leopards which he had
trained to be as docile as horses. But
here [ saw Bacchus outdone. Lions
and tigers, panthers and bears, appear
ed patiently drawing carriages; lions
being yoked to tigers, and panthers to
bears. Wild bulls permitted boys and
girls to dance upon their backs, and
actually, at the word of command
stood up on their hind feet. Still more
wonderful again than this was the spec
tacle of lions hunting hares, catching
them and carrying the prey in their
mouths, unhurt. to their masters. The
emperor summoned the lion-tamer
who had trained the beasts in this won
derful fashion, and praised him highly
for his skill. The man answered with
as pretty u compliment as ever heard.

The Case of a Cold.

A cold is departure from health,
and should really be attended to at
once. Do not let it cure itself Get
rid of it soon. Do not feed it though,
but starve it. One cold after another
nearly always ends in thickening of
the mucous membrane of the bronchial
tubes, and before you are aware of it
you become thevictim of winter cough.
The morning tub (cold, mean) is a
very sure preventive of colds. Never
Overclothe nor overhead yourself. The
neck should be kept cool. Keep away
from fires indoors if you are subject to
colds.
Cough, if not the result Of simple
laryngeal or bronchial catarrh, may
mean very serious departure from
health; and the sooner one sees a doc
tor in such case the better. Do not
be afraid to consult him. Remember,
it IS only those that delay who suffer in
the end. do not advise you to rush
to physician with every trifing all
ment, butt is better to be sure than
sorry.
Many people would benefit much by
taking cod liver oil for month or six
weeks about the changes of the season.
Probably the diet would have to be
lowered a little, and an occasional mild
aperient taken.
Getting thin is another serious de-
parture from health. One generally
does lose weight in winter, and regain
it in summer; but slow and steady
decrease in weight calls aloud for med
ical interference.
Want of sleep and restless nights
are symptoms which cannot be over
looked. The cause must be found and
removed. The trouble may certainly
arise from OVerWork and trouble COM
bined, but in most cases the stomach
and digestive organs are the roots of
the evil.
Nervous people worry most, but they
one is inclined to ask himself when he
feels something wrong with his health
is: "Am I oYerworking MYSELF" I
would answer thus: If you really en-
joy working it cannot injure you very
much; bu., on the other hand, if it is
force work, and you find little pleasure
in it. then it will tell on your constitu-
ton.
But many people cannot afford rest.
Well, but wonders can be done by TAX
ing exercise; by breathing only fresh
air night and day, in doors and out,
and by careful regulation of the diet.
In conclusion let me entreat of you. as
you value your happiness not to neg
lect first departures from health. The
story of the reservoir has really NOR

A Gallant Pickpocket.

A New York Fifth avenue belle went
to the theatre, says Texas Sittj79gS. On
returning home after the performance
she discovered that her breastpin, which
was quite valuable, had been stolen.
She was very sorry, for the breastpin
was present. A few days after the
young lady received the following
letter:
The writer of these lines has the honor to in
form you that he knows where your breast
pin is, and will return it cheerfully under
certain conditions.
do not expect to receive a reward in money,
since ] regard it as exceedingly vulgar to re-
ceive money from lacy whom l 1dollze as
much as do you. On the other hand, 1T
would be very stupid in me to return you
your breastpin without getting some equiva-
lent.
Taking into consideration my consuming
love for you, I'll return the ornament for q
single kiss from your rosy lips.
Tomorrow morning will be at the corner
of Madison avenue and Fifty-sixth street with
the missing jewelry. If you are willing to pay
me my price I will, after pressing kiss on the
aforesaid lips, press the breastpin in your
hands. No questions asked (Signed)
ONE OF Your ADMIRERS.
The young lady did not know what
to do. She wanted to get her breast
pin back, but she did not care to pay
the price. She hit upon the idea of
sending her servant girl in her place.
The servant girl put in an appear
ance at the appointed hour and place.
She was heavily yelled. A we'll
dressed sc tleman approached and
asked:
"Do you accept the terms?"
81 do"
The stranger Familiarity embraced her
on the European plan, and simultan-
eously imprinted alarge three-by-seven
kiss on her mouth, that caused a
policeman on the next corner to start.
He thought it was pistol shot.
''Here is what l promised" he re-
marked, after the formality had been
complied with; ''but," he added, you
will find it like the kiss, not quite
what it was represented to be, as you
are only the servant and not the mis-
tress," handing her something wrapped
in paper.
After he had retired, which he did
Immediately, the servant examined the
paper and found that it only contained
a small piece of wood.
