Burdette Discusses Life As He Found II
In the Coach.
Everyone has observed the easy IA
cility with which some people can &C
complish the apparently delicate cere-
mony of the introduction OF two
strangers to each other by third
stranger, writes Robert ]. Burdette in
Ladies' Home Journal. This social
phenomenon is oftenest seen in public
places on public conveyancea
l was recently making a journey
across small portion of this planet,
sitting alone by the car window and
hoping that nobody had taken the
upper fat in my compartment, when
man whose freshness chilled me seated
himself opposite me, threw his feet
airily upon the seat beside me. saying
in loud tone and with extravagant
hospitality, make yourself at home"
He explained to me, as l received his
advances with somewhat .'cold re-
spect," that young lady OF forty -eight
summers was occupying the lower
floor of his section, and had appropri-
ated his seat for her baggage-room,
while at the same time she had trans
formed the entire premises into q cold
storage apartment. The man said that
he had sat amidst her baggage until
the cold chills began to run up and
down his back and he had no doubt he
waa even now on the direct road to an
attack Of pneumonia. He then went
on to inform me in that easy, confidcn-
tial, photographed turn that he
lived in Kolusa, Upton county, when
he was at home; he had been married
twice and had five children-all born
to him by his first wife. Three boys"
he said, and remained for moment or
two in silence, when he suddenly
looked up and added, land two girls"
You cannot imagine what load was
lifted off my mind when / learned what
those remaining children were. You
see, he hadn't told me, and / felt deli
cate about asking. The man noted the
look of interest on my face and went
on with his narrative. His first wife
was woman of very respondent tenn
permanent; as good woman, he said,
as ever lived, but was always afraid
something was going to happen; al
ways worried about the children or
something. She was good mother to
the children, too; but, then, she was
never well-always sick with some
kind of complaint. This, the man
said, made it almighty hard for him.
He sighed so deeply at the remem-
brance Of the hard lines through which
he had passed that sympathized with
him and asked him if this continued
illness seemed to affect his wife any.
"Oh, no." he said; not so much as it
did him; she appeared to get sort of
used to it.

KAFFIR "CAKE OF BREAD"
We Would Call It . Barbecue If 1t Were

We Would Call 1t . Barbecue If 1t Were
In This Country.
"Some Kaffir copper-colored ladies
have fine Jewish physiognomy
Chief Ndunyelas warriors were naked.
except blanket or kaross thrown
loosely around their shoulders" writes
Bishop Taylor in his African memoirs.
Brother Raynor made them present
of "a cake of Bread viz, bullock,
which they slaughtered and devoured
in the afternoon.
'They are very expert in butchering
. beef with their assegais, and in cut
ting out all the feshy parts into strips.
These they broil on the fire until about
half done, and the smoking strips of
rare roast are passed among the long
circle. One fellow seizes it and clenches
one end of it with his teeth and with his
assegai cuts it off an inch or two from
his mouth, just as much as he can get
between his teeth, and passes it to the
next, who follows his example. So on
it goes round, strip after strip, a
mouthful at time, till nothing is left
but the skin and bones of the beast.
Every man has right to a seat at such
feast. Whenever any Kafiir kills
beef, all the men within several miles
round will assemble as promptly as
birds Of prey, and any one of them will
eat as much as the owner. If man
should refuse to make it free thing,
he would be branded as a man too
stingy and mean to live among them,
and would be in danger of, being
'smelled OUT as q witch. 1t is not easy
for such people to appreciate English
economy. To see a missionary kill a
beef, and carefully cut it up and carry
it into his house, and keep it to be
eaten by himself and his own family,
along at different times as may suit
his convenience, why. to a lot Of
hungry Kaffirs it is the most shocking
piece of business Imaginable Hence,
if they want to berate mean fellow,
after exhausting their old stock of OPP
probrious epithets, they cap the whole
by adding: Why. you are as stingy as
a missionary Brother Rayner gave
the chief Ndunyella his choice, to take
his people home in the afternoon, after
they had eaten their cake OF Bread
or to stay for the evening service.

A MarhIehead Expression.

"While at Marblehead, Mass" said
lady who had recently visited that
quaint town. 81 sometimes heard the
people use an expression that at first
thought might refer to Voltaire's Nine
Miles from a Lemon Afterward l
heard the story which gave rise to the
saying, and it is good enough to re-
peat: In the early colonial days, when
there was no conveyance to Salem ex-
cept small ferryboat, there lived at
Marblehead a worthy housewife with
a lazy, worthless husband He never
offered to go to Salem, for it was
good mile to the ferry. and then much
trouble to signal the boat from the op-
posite shore So the wife did all the
errands, and she could often be seen
trudging along the dusty road When
questioned she would courtesy and
reply: I'm to Salem to buy loaf OF
bread One day she was very busy,
and besides wanted TO make an un-
usual purchase, q lemon. So she gave
her man some money and persuaded

The Republican state headquar-
tiers have been established in room
500 in the Lincoln hotel. 1t is not
likely that a brass band and torch
light campaign will be conducted.
The Republicans do not believe
that a contest over the supreme
bench should be carried On like a
canvas for a distinctly political
office. They will, however, seek
to place their side Of the question
modestly and c%ourteously before
the people, and be content to wait
their verdict at the polls.-State

The reports Of the agriculture
department show that Nebraska
makes a better record this year
both in yield and in quality Of corn
and wheat than Kansas on the
south and Dakota on the north.
In some respects we excel Miss
ouri, and in all respects we stand
close to that state and Iowa.
Nebraska lies within the most fav-
orable lines Of latitude for big
crops in all the principal cereals.

JUDGE HARRISON was so popular

JUDGE HARRISON was SO popular
with the Independents, democrats
and republicans in his judicial
district that his election was al
most unanimous. He ran 1900
ahead Of his ticket. Independents
recognized him as such an honest
judicial, and SO answering in his
course, that they realized hat they
could never elect a fairer man.

H OUTLOOK CHEERING.

Republicans are in high feather
all over the state. So far every
county republican convention re
ported, has been marked with the
utmost enthusiasm, and harmony
in the ranks. If soreness OF bit
terness anywhere existed it has not
been allowed to assume dangerous
proportions but has readily yield
ed to the universal desire for har-
mony and united action. AS a re-
suit republicans everywhere I
hopeful and jubilant and look for
ward with unwavering confidence
to a triumphant victory all along
the line. And now comes the
state convention-one Of the larg-
est ever held and especially con-
spicuous for its harmonious inter-
change Of good feeling and good
fellowship. 1nthis convention the
banner Ct true republicanism was
held aloft. The party sentiment
was supreme and no effort was
made to subserve any fractional OF
selfish interests OF ends. Here no
man, assuming to be greater than
his party, raised his head, and no
bone Of contention marred the
peaceful proceedings. Here no
knives were unsheathed and no
scalps bangle from the belts Of ir-
reconcilable contending leaders.
The spirit Of republicanism hover
ed ever the assembly, and the gen
Jus Of republicanism unveiled her
face and looked smilingly on the
scene. 1t was a great convention
and the impress Of its loyalty and
unanimity will be felt in every
county and election precinct in
the state. It says to republicans
in the state, get together, pull to-
and be of one mind, and
all will be well. The outlook for
republicans is thus most encourage
Reaction has set in, the
reverses Of last fall will
contribute to this reaction. Fears
Of new and strange Legislation by
the dominant party will drive re-
publicans into closer fellowship,
and make many accretions from
the democratic ranks. Nebraska
will emphasize the return Of the
republicans to power by a sweep
ing victory this fall and the repub-
%licans, firmly united, will plant the
state safely and securely in the
republican column, and the vision
airy populist and discordant demo-
crat will be driven to look else
where for congenial surroundings.
The outlook has in it all the ele-
ments Of certain and enduring sue
cess.
