Commencing next week and c%ontinu-
ing until further notice, the prayer
meeting committee of the Christian En-
deavor society, of our city, have arrang-
ed to hold cottage prayer meetings
on Monday and Saturday evenings OF
each week. 1t is sincerely hoped that
this effort on the part Of the society Will
be appreciated and literally responded
to. 1t is not being done for money,
honor, or fun, but is undertaken earnest
ly and heartily for the cause Of Christ
here. To those who cannot get out to
the regular Wednesday evening meetings
at our vario us churches, this invitation
is extended; if you can't go to prayer
meetings, the meeting will go to you, at
your home. We would suggest that you
arrange for a meeting at your house and
then invite your neighbors in with you.
They will not be long; when the inter
est ceases we will close it.
Remember they can only be held on
Monday and Saturday evenings. If you
would like to have one at your house,
drop a note to the chairman, c. I. Wat
son, who will notify you upon what V e
ming they can hold it. All invitations
accepted in the order received; first come
first served.

The Bachelor Girl.

About thirty years ago, or more, when
a young girl in the family had reached
the ripe and mature age of twenty five
or thirty and lived until that time unmar
ried, a fiat in society went forth, after
that period she deserved the cognomen OF
the old maid, and in those days the title
was accepted without reservation, and
the term "laid on the shelf was many
times unhappily used. This old-fashion-
ed girl being simply and purely educated
whilst the pursuits Of the age were mar
row where the advancement Of women
were concerned, a responsibility in life
was needed after the first blush of youth
had banished. 1t was then that this ripe
and full grown oma became a person
to year the boys and girls have left the
parental root for a nest all their own.
Whilst this clever helper remained to be
the solace and comfort in the household
and fill the position of the useful mem
Der, she acted her part well, with a dig
nifty and cheer hat was unrivalled. Far
and near she was termed the Angel Of
Mercy. The saint who was proof against
all difficulties. The harbinger Of peace,
that Strengthened out all the stony paths
and brought clear sunshine amid the
troubled waters in life to those who were
sick, timid and sorrowful. For did not
her dear hand cook all the titbits for the
weak and tired invalid SO invitingly, and
when a marriage was on the taps, it was
she who with skillful fingers piled the
needle so tastefully and steadily, and
dressed when the time came the victim
for the marriage feast.-Oliver Bell Bunce

We assure you, he stands high in the

cations, feel anxious that he should be
elected.-Wilsonville Review.

The b Turned.

The McNeely brick was the scene of a
most hilariously funny incident, Monday
night, in which a company of jokers
were completely routed. 1t appears that
Ed Rohlf, George Seymore, H. L. Da-
wilson and w. B. Lichty were the arch
conspirators, and unsophisticated Pete
Madsen ,cobbler at the Boston shoe store,
was to have been the victim. 1t was on
the program to enter Pete's room, Mon
day night, and to hold him up in regular
western style. Pete, it seems, was bunk
ing with Lichty by Encouragement. So
at the hour appointed Rohlf, Seymore
and Davidson, armed and masked, en-
tered Lichty's domicile and arousing
Pete from his virtuous couch demanded
in fierce tones his money or his life.
But Pete loved both dearly and reaching
for his gun commenced firing promiscu-
ously into the company of would-be
burglars. Then ensued a scene of con-
fusion and flight unequaled since Bull
Run. Some of the robbers are thought
to be on the "dead run" yet. Pete, of
course, had been posted and his revolver
was loaded with blank cartridges. The
affair was witnessed by a number Of out
siders who are yet making life miserable
for the jokers. After the stampede the
boys had some difficulty in convincing
Lichty that Pete hadn't attempted self
destruction.

A postage stamp conundrum is going
the rounds. A young lady entered a post
office, handed in a dollar bill and said
she wanted twice as many twos as ones
and the balance in threes. The clerk
started in to count the stamps, grew per-
picked, commenced figuring and figured
until he got red in the face, when the
young lady informed him that she was in
a hurry, that he could figure it out and
that she would call next day for them.
Now who can figure put how many
stamps were given the young lady when
she called the next day.

During these stringent times Nebraska
in general has moved along at a fair,
prosperous rate Of speed. Bank failures
have not been 50 numerous as in states
north, south, and east. Manufacturers
have not shut down nor failed as in old
er states, while business failures have
not increased very materially v ordi-
nary years. The small wage Garner has
saved his earnings for the purpose of
investing in real estate instead of spend
ing them in the full realization of easily
getting more. The above features of the
~so-called hard times, we are glad to note,
have not been so really bad after all and
may ultimately prove a blessing in dis

AS fall is here and the prairie grass is
fast drying up, and prairie fires are like
1y to occur soon, every farmer who is
not protected should pillow four burrows
around his place, and two rods inside of
this he should pillow four more. Then
later in the season when the grass has
become thoroughly dry, burn out the
space between the burrows, which will
afford protection against these fires, which
in nine cases out of ten, are due to care
1essness. Protect your premises in time,
and right now is the time.

successfully accomplished by a Californ-

and as they can be grown almost any
where in the temperate zone the success
of the process would add immensely to
the wealth of the United States. Besides
it would afford great satisfaction to

like that must not be overlooked. Let
