Girls who Make Poor wives.


I never see petted, pampered
girl who is yielded TO in every within
by servants and parents, that / do
not sigh with pity for the man who
will some day be her husband. Ii
is the worshipped daughter, who has
been taught that her whims and
wishes are supreme i'm household,
who makes marriage failure all her
life. She.has had her way in things
great and small; and when she de-
sired dresses, pleasures or journeys
which were beyOund the family purse,
she carried the day with sulks, or
posing as a MARTYR. The parent sac
reficed and suffered for her sake,
hoping finally to see her we'll mar
ried. They carefully hide her faults
from her suitors who seek her hand,
and she is ever ready with smiles
and allurements to win the hearts of
men, and the average man is as blind
to the faults of pretty girl as q new
lyshatched bird is blind to the worms
upon the trees about him. He thinks
her little pettish ways are mere girl
ish moods; but when she becomes
his wife and reveals her selfish and
cruel nature he is grieved and hurt
to think fate has been so unkind to

of shipping iron from the south to

of shipping cotton goods from San

likely of fulfilment as was the idea of
shipping iron to Pennsylvania from
the south score Of years ago. The
one has come to .spass .the ..other is
coming to pass.

GERMANY falls heir to part of the
possessions OF the dead William of
Holland. His heir is not an heir
male, and according to the salic law
which holds in that principality, the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, which
was a part of Williams dominions,
falls into the hands of the Duke of
Nassau, a German prince. 1t seems
only q question of time, however,
when the little kingdom will be
really a part of the absorbing Ger
man Empire.

Cold Water did not Win.

New Orleans gTimes- Democrat. ga az
or the. states which held elections
on Nov. 4, Nebraska was the only one
in which prohibition was an issue
and the response which Nebraskans
made to the proposition to interfere
with the character of their drinks
was of such an emphatic nature as to
discourage similar proposition In the
future.
A temperance system which was
established by the legislature In the
state five or six years ago, and which
gave the majorities in all, the coun-
ties the right to have prohibition or
high license as they pleased, seemed
to be happy solution of the liquor
question. In the counties i'm which
prohibitionists were in q majority,
prohibition was the the law; and in
the counties where prohibition was
not In favor, the license tax was fixed
at a minimum of $500 in the towns
and rural districts, and of $1,000 in
cities of a certain population.
This arrangement, fair and impair
tial as it appears, and excellently as
it worked In practice in the direction
of temperance, did not satisfy the
fanaticiam of the Prohi bition leaders.
They were determined to have pro-
hibition, not only In the counties
where there was majority in its
favor, but also where the Prohibition
lists were in a minority. In short. As
they were q minority in the State,
they wanted minority rule.
So clamorously and persistently
did they keep up their demands that,
allowing the minority to dictate to
the majority, the last Legislature
passed q resOlu ton to submit to the
people a constitutional amendment
incorporating prohibition in the Or
ganiu laws of the state.
And on that amendment the peo-
pie voted on the 4th, when it was
snowea under by majority of over
10000.
Thus have the people of Nebraska
followed the example OF the vast ma
jorIty of the States OF the Union in
giving clear and decided expression
TO their determination not to accept
sumptuary legislation at the hands
of q set OF faddists, whose noise is as
much out of proportion to their num-
hers as their craze is out Of harmony
with common sense.
The question has no doubt been
set al rest In Nebraska for many
years to come.
