Mr.. Jas. Peery, Of Hum bOldt, VIII
knows nearly as much about broom
corn as anybody. writes as fJllows t
the Union: We have in Kansas thi
year about 200, 900 acers of broom corr
compared with 5000 last year. COn
I ditiOn all over Kansas, Nebrask;
aud Missouri is as near perfect as car
be. Now as the surplus will be very

green aud clean well for ripe seed lef
on brush makes feed for rats and mic,
and they will cut the brush. Put uI
in good order and prepare 10 keep i

brush, well cared for will paw whe1
crop is as large as IL is this year
and none will want TO buy any but
good, clean, green brush. Such are

P0TsOH PeterkH: My son, did you
ever know any body who was jealous
of his interiors? Did you ever hear a
woman complain of being sighted be-
cause another woman who was not
her social equal had failed TO call on
her? Did you ever hear a man accuse
somebody who was beneath himself
in anyway of being "stuck up? No,
| guess you never did. The moral
dear boy, is this: Don't show jealousy
1t is a confession of inferiority. Don't
accuse somebody Of sighting you or
being stuck up. 1t is an admission
that the man accused is your superior.
You are as good as anybody, and you
ought ta be too proud to make such =
confession or such an admission.

boys had tried to play during The last
of the game. They played fiae ball
during the first half of the game.
however, and victory is their reward.
There was some talk the first of the
week of disbanding but the game
Monday encouraged the boys some
and we hope they will decide 20 stay
together. They have a stronger nine
now than there has been here since
1850 and everybody wants to see
them hold together. If they keep on
playing a good ball as they played
Monday the Humboldt nine won't be
in it.
Some of the young ladies got up
hay-Tack ride last Tuesday evening

ming except the mules, one of which
lost his collar sometime during the
drive, aud that is enough to embal-
rass even a mule The party stayed
at Mr.. Adams house long enough to-
thoroughly awaken the family and
spoil their slumber. Miss Jessie Hun

1t is fifteen years this summer
since the editor of the REGISTER had
a real vacation, and for nearly thir-
teen years there has not been a week
whether he was at home or abroad,
VIII en- he was not responsible for part
Dr. all of the matter that was to 20
into this or some other paper. He

kilograms nor letters nor newspapers,
not even the REGISTER, were to be

expect to have a fine time. During
Mr.. Scott's absence the REGISTER is
in charge of w. G.. Allison with all
'the boysn as city editors and report
srs and assistants generally, and they
will appreciate all the courtesies
shown them.
