The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1893-11-24

A single phrase has made Colonel Kill
gore d national character. Very early
in his congressional career he began to
say, Il object He has kept this up at
every session of congress with serene
consistency. A small man, a nervous
man or a bad tempered man could never
have made a success Of such a policy.
He would have been run over in some
way. But Colonel Kilgore's 81 object
uttered with dignity and with delibera-
ton and backed by such an impressive
personality, has won its way. 1t has
stopped hundreds of little bills; it has
sent many a disappointed member to the
cloakroom Tuning and swearing. And
yet the big man, who is always good
humored and who smiles on slight prov
ocation, is a popular member of con
gress. There is everything in the way
that 81 object" is said. The tone can
carry malice or anger or honest opposi-
ton. Colonel Kilgore says Il object
with such utter disregard Of personal
considerations and with such unfailing
regularity that he has disarmed the re-
sentiment which usually falls upon OBJ
jectors.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Paderewski as a Hard Worker.

To be a pet of the public sometimes
has it's disadvantages. NJ. Paderewski,
for instance, keeps up his reputation only
at the cost of tremendous efforts. To
an interviewer for Black and White he
has confded the fact that he practices
at the piano often for Is or 16 hours a
day. Once, in New York, he had to work
up eight entirely distinct programmes in
little over as many days, and then it was
a case of II hours practice daily. One
must always be at it, he explains. to
keep the fingers right and the memory
active. The work is certainly firing,
and M. Paderewski considers that play
ing billiards. game he is very fond of
has saved his life by affording him the
necessary relief from his arduous work.
Those crashing blows of his on the
piano are not, as some might imagine,
made with the closed fist. Sometimes
they are done with the third finger stiff
ened out, sometimes with the thumb
sideways. He seems to see nothing won
derful in the effect produced, although
his hands are so delicate that an ordi-
narily firm shake makes him vince. 1t
is true that he has a forearm such as a
professional strong man might envy, SO
perfect is it in it's muscular develop
ment.-London Daily News.

Coal Waste,

The great quantities of anthracite coal
wasted by the unsuitable methods resort
ed to in preparing it for market is the
subject of complaint by Mr.. Harris, the
head official of the Lehigh Coal COM
pany. These operations, he says, result
in reducing a large proportion of the
coal to sizes too small for commercial
purposes, the percentage Of waste from
this source averaging as high as 20 per
cent of the coal hoisted from the COL
~lieries, this, however, having been some
what diminished in recent years by the
utilization of the smaller sizes of coal.
He thinks that this process-rescuing
coal from the waste heaps-is destined
to go much farther in the more general
use Of coal in fine particles. He believes
that it may not be going too far to as
sumo that improved methods of mining
and of preparing coal may insure the
use as fuel of one-half the coal now re-
naming, SO that itmay be reckoned that
there are still not far from 5000, 600, 900
tons of anthracite available before the
beds will be wholly exhausted. The
present annual consumption of anthra-
cite is about 4O,O 600, 900 tons, and this
consumption has for some years been in
creasing at the rate of 4 per cent per an
num.-New York Sun.

Smelling Out Bank Bills.

If a bill must be sent in a letter, the
safest plan is to roll it tightly into the
shape of a lamplighter and lay it in the
fold of the sheet inclosed. Arranged in
that fashion, the fact that it is money
cannot well be distinguished by the
''feel." A thread, with a knot at the
end, will not be SO likely to fetch a tell
tale fragment of the fiber paper when
drawn by e of a needle through the
envelope, and the smell of it will be less
perceptible. So peculiar is the effiuvium
belonging to bank or treasury notes that
experts at the bureau of engraving say
that they can distinguish them when
sealed in envelopes by the nose every
time. A thief once showed to govern
ment detectives who had caught him
thath he could pick out, while blindfolded,
from a pile of 400 letters every n OF
seven which contained paper cash mere
ly by scent.-Washington Star.

Thought He Could Jump.

A young man the other day got an UNI
brella where the bottle got the cork-in
the neck. This young man is n of
those fellows who can readily explain to
you that nothing that any one else can
do is really as difficult as it appears. He
joined a local gymnasium not long ago,
and after watching the members once or
twice going through their exercises came
away with the feeling that he was a full
fedged athlete. Walking on East Court
street alongside of the Jail. he espied two
women ahead of him walking abreast
and carrying a basket of freshly washed
clothes between them. The street being
narrow at this point, they took up the
full width. The young man, being in a
hurry, thought he could ave time by
jumping over the basket, but his calcu-
lation was not acute enough, and he
kicked some of the wash off. After
walking a few steps he turned around to
ascertain the result of his maneuver and
was just in time to see an umbrella
hurled at him by the unerring aim of an
enraged woman. He tried to dodge, but
was too slow.-Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.

Touemache,s Consideration.

Of the late Lord Tollemache's consid-
Grafton for others an amusing instance
has been related by his brother. One
day, at Peckforton. he came down ear
lier than was his wont and happened to
look into the drawing room. He found
the room mot done" and Uttered with
brushes and busters. Extremely dis
pleased he rang the bell impetuously,
and the inculpated housemaid was sum-
moned, but when she appeared, instead
of administering the intended rebuke,
he %apologized to her for coming into the
room so early. and was so full of excuses
for his untimely visit that she said at
last, "Pray, don't mention it, my lord"

And, languOr lulled by dream winged spirits in

Trilled through the silvery sphere of fading
day,
a late bird homeward wings its wearied way,
And. through the wide tranquility Of upper
sea
Attunes his vesper note Of farofT minstrelsy
To songs of thee.

Sets the dead affairs of approat.. ing Ii at

mystic gold.
Whose liquid light reflects the happiness Of old

The evening winds. distilled from fragrant

Pour out their incense on the dew wrapt hours.
And on the still, sweet harmony OF sky ana sea-

Malta Drinking Water.

"The best water l ever drank" writes
a correspondent, twas at Malta, where
it is collected on the fiat roofs, which
are most carefully cleaned preparatory
to the heavy fall of rain which takes
place when the weather breaks the first
or second week in September. Every
house has below it an immense tank,
often Of the same area as the house, and
about 12 feet deep, and into this pours
the beautiful fresh water, which comes
up cool and sparkling when wanted"

"'Nothing, replies the voice of the stu
dent, calm and cool as ever.
"tAnd you are not afraid?' cries the
Spaniard, his manner more scornful and
insulting still.
"I am not afraid back the
clear, brave voice of the prisoner within,
while we, standing on the outside and in
sight of the internal sorcerer's ~incanta-
lions, scarcely dare to look at each other.
so great is our dismay and surprise.
"'And the phantom said cries the
Spaniard furiously:
And the phantom said, coming out from the
tomb,
SIN order that he may know me in truth,
will go to m friend proud, smiling and sweet,
AS in tie days of our first early youth"
"And again, ceasing his song. he puts
his terrible question:
"'What do you see nowT
"'The phantom advancing-he raises
the veil-it is Francis-Francis Viatal-
he approaches the table-he writes-ho
has written his name
But before he can say more the Span
lard resumes, his voice wild and bowling:
And the phantom said to this hooking man,
Come thou ct once and give to me
Thy hand to my hand, thy heart to my heart.
And thy lips where l can kiss thee!'
"'Are you afraid now7 Are you afraid
now?" he repeats, almost with frenzy.
A shuddering cry, dying away in a moan,
is the students only answer.
"I warned him. said the Spaniard
harshly; 4 warned him howit would be.
You see, messieurs,' turning to address
us, that I have gained the wager. But
let him keep the money. 1 am content
with the lesson given him. He will be
wiser in future" And with a grave in
clination he walked away, leaving us
thunderstruck at the door Of the pavilion,
behind which the sound of means still
continued.
sat last we opened it to find the stu
dent writhing upon the floor, a paper
signed with the name Of Francis Viatal
IN the table beside him. It was at least
an hour before he had recovered sufi-
GENTLY to be about again. Then, furious
with rage at the treatment he had re-
ceivedfrom the sorcerer, heinsisted upon
having him brought before him.
"But the merchant was not to be
found, either in or out of the inn.
"'But I will find him. cried the stu
dent, and I will kill him on the spot for
the impious performancein which he has
made me assist"

stable boy that the merchant had sad
died his horse himself and departed some
time ago, he followed him, still swearing
instant vengeance.

saw either of them again"
"And yet. Uncle Bayle," said Dor
othy breathlessly, "you a say there are
no such things as ghosts or goblins"-
"More positively than ever" he re-
piled. Neither the Spanish merchant
nor the Toulouse student were ever seen
again, as I tell you. No more were the
80 beautiful quadruples which I and the
other guests of the inn had put together
to make up the sum of the Spaniard's
wager. The two rascals had carried
them off between them, after playing be-
fore us a comedy which we were simple
tons enough to believe, but which l
found very dear at the time, when I had
considerably less money to spare than at
present. From the French.

WHEN LIFE is DONE.

When life Is done avail naught
The pleasure that we dearly bought,
The wealth. we risked our souls to gain,
The honor won through toll and pain,
The title coveted and sought.
No worldwide fame availeth aught
No name, no marvel science taught,
When earth and earthly objects wane,
When life is done.
Tho kindly deed for others wrought,
The patient word, the generous thought,
The effort made by hand or brain
'Gainst might for right, though made il
vain,
Shall be by God forgotten not
When life is done.

Ancient ~Stationers.

In medieval times the stationarius, or
~stationer, held official connection with a
university and sold at his stall, or sta

librarius, or book writer. Such is the

who now keeps for sale implements of
such service, and not usually the pro-
auctions of literary persons.-Harper's
