HARD TIMES PAST

The county probably never before ex-
perienced such hard panic with so little
general effect on business, and the county
has never been in as good condition as it is
in to day. The demand for articles OF
known purity and quality has been steadily
increasing insteak of decreasing. So it is
with the rye whlskies bottled by Max
Klein. The public know thdt the Silver
Age, Duquesne and Bear Creek ryes are
the finest in the country. They that
doctors recommend them; that as a stimu-
lent they are unsurpassed. They are fo-
sale by all first class hotels and dealers at
s. 80, 81 % and LOO per quart respectively.

What German Boys Drink.

German boys who work in the open
air all day long, every day in the year
except school days, get very thirsty,
of course, and must drink a great
deal. The German mothers to keep
their boys we'll and hardy, are very
expert in making nourishing drinks
for them, to take the place of water,
which is not nourishing at all if taken
in large quantities. Honeyade is the
favorite outdoor drink for German
boys. 1t is made in this way An
ounce of ginger is boiled for an hour
in two quarts of water. Then two
quarts of cold water, pound of
sugar, an ounce of lime juice and two
ounces Of clear, sweet cider are added.
When all is cold, the white Of an egg
is whipped in and lemon is squeezed
over the honeyade jar. The sturdy
little Germans are allowed to drink
their weight, as the saying is, Of this

Pleasures of Louisiana Life.

81 went to a big sugar 'bilin' in
North Louisiana the other night, y
said Sam B. Webb, St. Louis shoe
drummer. There | saw the pretti-
est pair of black eyes l had ever seen
in my life, and they belonged to a
splendid specimen of Louisiana love-
hness. She had a singularly sweet,
silvery voice that she used merrily on
the soft air of that moonlight night
helped her stir the sugar, but she
was sweeter than all the sugar in
that district. l will remember her
as long as the yellow moons come
and GO, or the swimming stars float
over the surging seas. The faint
beams of the young moon trembled
on her sun-kissed face while she
gnawed at the end Of a big yam later.
In turn she handed it to me and I
gnawed, too. Then we began gnaw-
ing it together, one end in my mouth
the other in hers. We kept gnawing
away on it until our lips were only a
little ways apart, and then the eli
max came, and / Oh, say, am
yearning to go back there again"

A Noted Soldier.

Frederick the Great had the happ
faculty of surrounding him self with
able men. Like Napoleon he was a
good Judge OF human nature, and he
was rarely deceived. One of his most
valued assistants was an English
man, James Edward Keith. This
young man engaged in a revolution
in England, and barely escaped with
his life. Then he served under the
ear in his wars upon Poland and
Turkey; but considering himself the
victim OF injustice, he resigned and
accepted the position of L lid mar
shall in the Prussian army. Fred
erick the Great made him his favor
lite companion. and they Travelled to-
gether incognite through Germany,
Poland and Hungary. Keith invent
ed game resembling chess, which
so delighted the king that he had
some thousands of men cast in met
al, by which he could arrange battles
and sieges. The British field mar
shall managed the admirable re-
treat of the army from Olmutz in the
presence of superior force, without
the loss of u single gun, and he took
part in all the great battles OF the
period. He lost his life in the des-
perate fight at Hochkirchen on Oct.
IA, 1853. Keith was of middle
height, dark complexion and strong
ly marked features. His presence of
mind was remarkable, and his knowl-
edge deep and varied, while his mil
itary talents and strict sense Of hon
or made him take rank among the
first commanders of the day. His
brother, the lord marshal OF Scot
land, once wrote of him: "My broth
er has lett me noble heritage; after
having overrun Bohemia at the head
of a large army, I have found only
$40 in his. purse" Frederick hon
ored Keith's memory by having
erected a monument to him in Berlin
by the side of his other generals.

The Crank is Brave.

Let us cherish the crank. Let us
cultivate and corner him here in THE
land where blessings are plentiful and
curses few. He is a being that never
lies still and never crawls. He may
be kicker, a bucking broncho, a
wasp or an eagle, but he is never
parasite or asnail. Whether he play
the part of the pestiferous gnat OF
the trumpeting elephant, no man
can accuse him OF being a sneak, nor
an enemy in ambush.
He may be right or he may be
wrong; he may be a necessity or
nuisance: but he is always frank,
fearless and fighter, striving
earnestly to enlighten and improve
the world.-Kate Fields Washing.

section II, township 3, range 20, three
miles from McCook, Nebraska: that my
corn crop for 1892, raised on said farm,
yielded 60 bushels per acre of better corn
than I ever raised or saw grown in Iowa.
1 rented some adjoining prairie land in
1892, which I agreed to break for two
years crops from same. In the spring of
1892 1 broke out and planted t. broom
corn Is acres which when marketed
yielded ME $254, after all expenses were
paid, being $I4.II per acre which I got
for breaking the land, and the land is
now in fine condition for another years
crop, which 1 get without rent. 1 have
rented considerable land in Iowa and
TAI say from experience that there is
much more profit in renting land here
than in the east, and a still better profit
in buying land here at from IS to So per
acre than renting any place.

See About Them.

McCooK. NEB., JAN. I9, 1893.
DEAR FRIEND arrived here with
my three car loads of stock and goods
in fine shape. Wa greatly surprised to
find the ground bare and roads so fine,
and such nice weather, there having
been a heavy snow on the ground when
l left Lake City, Iowa. l find there has
been only from 4, to E inches of snow
here this winter, and there is but little
frost in the ground now. 1 am more ia
worldly impressed with the country now
than when here before. There can be
no finer farm land found than here, and
the vast amount of corn piled all over
the prairie will vouch for its productive
ness. When first read the description
of Southwestern Nebraska, with prices
of land written by S. III. Colvin, of
McCook, Red Willow county, Nebraska,
| believed it too greatly exaggerated;
but l did have faith enough to come
and see the country, and am no ready
to confirm the statement of the country
as made i'll the circular, and believe that
Mr.. Colvin has underestimated it in
many particulars.
I have bought myself a fine $40 acre
farm and will go to farming in earnest
this spring. l never saw so fine laying
land for farming, where the yield per
acre is SO great, and you can buy the
land at from $40 to SIS per acre. This
is a good location to rent land, as you
can get one-third of all the crop, and in
many cases get W. crops for breaking
the land. Corn is yielding heavy and
this is a fine country to feed stock. !
am sorry that all the farmers in the east
cannot see this country, as 1 am satisfied
there are many who are giving a heavy
rent that could own homes here and get
all the crop. 1 find that the price of
land is advancing, and in a short time
the cheap land will ali be gone.
Hoping my farmer friends will be in
terested enough to visit Southwestern
Nebraska, 1 remain,
Very truly yours,
r. p. BARR.
