The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1893-03-03


Our especial" reports quite an acct
dent which happened to a young couple
from McCook, last week, while returning
home from this city; according to reports,
the McCook young mans arm became
dislocated, while resting on the lazy
back of the buggy, and as the arm
dropped from the back of the seat, the
muscles contracted drawing his arm
around the young 1ady's waist, where it
became established, and in driving down
into the canyon east Of the %B1ackwood,
with only one hand to guide the team,
the driver became bewildered and cap
sized the buggy. While nothing serious
happened on account of the accident,
our reporter says the fellow looked as
though he wished he had both arms dis

A boy in the Culbertson school has
been suspended for reading the following
composition: "Pants are made for men
and not men for pants. Women are
made for men and not for pants. When
a man pants for a woman and a woman
pants for a man they are a pair of pants.
Such pants don't last. Pants are like
molasses;they are thinner in warm wealth
er and thicker in cold. The man in the
moon changes his pants during the
eclipse. Don't you go to the pantry for
pants, you might be mistaken. Men are
often mistaken in pants. Such mistakes
make breeches of promise. There has
been much discussion as to whether
pants is singular or plural. Seems to us
when men wear pants they are plural,
and when they don't wear any pants
it is singular. Men go on a tear in their
pants, and it is all right; but when the
pants 60 on a tear it is all wrong"

The God of the GYpsiea.

The gypsies know nothing whatever of
heaven or a future state Of rest for the
righteous dead, their vocabulary having
no word that conforms with our words
paradise" heaven" beautiful city"
etc. They know of god which they
call "devel" and of devil called beng"
Beng" has home, or an abiding place.
called "bengipe," but their "devel," or
god, ''hath not where to lay his head"
and is only recognized as wandering
spirit floating about in the upper regions
of the air. They have mortal terror
of both ''beng" and "devel," but this
does not prevent them from cursing both
god and devil whenever anything goes
wrong.
They believe ''beng" to be much SUI
perior to the "devel," not only in point
of physical proportions, but in his powers
over the world and the human race, as
well as in his greater intellectually.
'Devel" can be exercised with pure cold
water, but "beng" will take nothing
short of brandy or wine. Edgar Wake

PLACED on THE LINZ.


posed to coincide with the Tropic of Can
Ger. On one side of the pyramid are the
words "Tropico de Cancer; Zona Tor
rida." On the other side is an inscrip-
ton to the effect that the pyramid was
erected in 1891 under the direction of
Don Tomas Milan, the superintendent of
the Mexican National railroad. In South
America there is near the coast series
of stone pillars extending for some dis
lance, showing the position of the equa-
tor.
All passenger trains on the Mexican
Central pause minute at this pyramid
to enable passengers to look at the spot
where they leave one geographical zone
and pass into another. AS matter of
fact. however, the country where the
Tropic of Cancer crosses the railroad is
far more temperate in climate than it is
northern Mexico and southern Texas.
The railroad has been carried up grade
until it has reached the elevated plateau
Of central Mexico, where wheat and
other products peculiar to cool, temper
ate climates are grown, as well as many
subtropical products. All who see the
Tropic of Cancer pyramid, therefore, may
derive from it the interesting informa-
ton that a temperate or tropical climate
does not depend entirely upon distance
from the equator, but is largely infiu-
enced by elevation above the sea. And
the great Mexican plateau, on account
of its lofty altitude, is more temperate
region than q larger territory north of
it, just as the great plateau of southern
Africa, extending far north, carries a
comparatively temperate climate far
toward the equator.

A EIiser's Last Wish.

A Greek died in the small town OF
Caracal, having always lived on the
aims of his compatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear that she would
bury him in the dirty old overcoat which
he wore every day. The poor woman
had to asl, the Greeks of Caracal to help
her to provide the costs of the funeral.
A good hearted Greek went to see her in
her affection, and pointing to the body
said he would give her better coat to
bury the man in. Then she told him of
the dead mans last wish. The Greek,
whose suspicious were awakened, told
her that she should certainly not part
with the body before she had well exam
med the coat, for there must be some
particular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining of the over
coat and found $4,000 francs in bank Sanh

The Danger of OaicehoIding.

Many a poor young man seeks gov
eminent clerkship in order that he may
earn his support while he is studying
his profession. He is playing with fire.
He is taking up as staff that which is
likely to become necessary to him as a
crutch. He is in danger of discovering,
when his profession is learned, that he
has not the moral courage to drop his
government stipend. 1t would have
been infinitely better-it might have
been his malzing-if he had toiled for
scantier dollars in manlier way.-Har-

THE sTRAINING TOWER. cult nature. The
plan of the engineer i'll charge was
TO construct an embankment across
the mouth of the valley to intercept the
water of the Vyrnwy and store it. The
result has been to create a lake At miles
in length and from a quarter to three
eighths of mile in width. The EN-
bankment or dam is 1,l72 feet in length.
The water is led from the lake through
large straining tower built on a pro-
jecting piece of ground. No water can
reach this point until it has been IN the
lake a considerable time This building
is fitted with straining appliances Of the
most ingenious design, and the water is
allowed to pass into the aqueduct only
after having first gone through copper
wire gauze having ID, 400 meshes to the
square inch, and with an aggregate area
of 1904 square feet.
The aqueduct consists chiefly of tun-
nels, through which the ultimate supply
of 40, 000, 900 gallons day may be passed
without filling them, and three lines OF
pipes varying in diameter from thirty
nine to forty-nine inches. Through
out the greater part Ol lHtI leHSIh Llo
pipes are buried beneath the ground, and
where this is not the case they are car
ried on archways or led through sub
ways. On the line are four balancing
reservoirs and filtering beds.
In the construction of the viaduc'
many obstacles were encountered-rail
ways, canals and rivers. The crossing Of
the River Weaver was formidable task
three pipes being laid at once without
obstructing the traffic.
The browning feat of the engineer
however, was the construction OF TIL
tunnel under the Mersey at Liverpool
through which pipes conveying the waite
are led

details are completed will be SIC, OOO,O 600

Sea fowls eggs have one remarkable
popularity. They are nearly conical in

Elizabeth Cady Stanton says that the
first pilgrim to set foot on Plymouth
Rock was a woman. 1t was true that she
was carried ashore seated on the joined
hands of men who waded through the
water from the boat, but she was the
first one who landed on the rock. The
first person to land at the present site Of
Newark was also a woman. She, too,
vas carried ashore.
