Some years ago, in this city, l made
the acquaintance Of the most conspi-
cuous example Of the promising man /

the fact that he is in politics isn't
wholly responsible for his weakness for
promising things. He is naturally weak.
He would like to have all men his
friends, so he has palaver and promise
for everybody. He is so weak and so
afraid Of giving offense that il asked
for the hat on his head or the clothes
on his back he would promise them to
you. He is always smiling and pleasant
and he isn't a bad sort Of man at all
He is weak-that's what's the matter
with him. Once he has promised to do
a thing that's the last OF it. He never
thinks Of it and hopes you will never
mention it again. II you do refresh
his memory he promises again. gains

Office, some few years ago, nobody ever
asked him for anything and got an I'M
favorable reply. "Of course you can

YOU He promised everybody every
thing; and then when he was elected
the trouble began. He couldn't possibly
fulfill tenth Of the promises he had
made, and the hot water that he was in
began to boil. People lost all patience
with him, and friends became enemies.
Having sought to please by empty
promises, lacking the will power to deny
requests that were made of him. he
paid the penalty Of his weakness in
awakening the determined opposition of
powerful men. He was greatly troubled.
All his life he has been in trouble that

What a great amount Of trouble a
little tirmness and decision would save!
Into what difficulties do men and women
precipitate themselves by following the
example of Goldsmithis good natured
man! Give me blunt man. or a dis
agreeable man, or an irascible man, or
an accommodating man, in preference
to your smooth, smiling, lackadaisical,

which l can lean; not a promise that

Give me men and women who look you
in the eye and tell you honestly what
they think and what they will do.

POINTS IN POLITICS.

FOlNlO In POLlII(oS.
Mis- Fairbrother, editor OF the W'O-
mans Weekly. Omaha. takes the Notson
case very seriously, and admonishes
State Superintendent Corbett that it
will not be safe for MIN to ask for q
second nomination. She says:
"In the awful presence Of this dead
woman with her children tied to her,
and the heart broken aged mother, it
seems sacrilege to refer to man like
Mr.. Corbett, who met a committee OF
club women and played every ccrd OF a
consummate coward. The woman's paper
has only this to say, by way Of notice
to him and the party which elected
him. Do not nominate Mr.. COrbett for
reelection. There are other men and
women who might fill this Office with
honor. II he serves out his term credit
ably, let him go among strangers and
live. He is young and we have no
desire to injure him. 1t will not be the
proper thing for him to attempt any
further public life in Nebraska. There
are too many women teachers and other
women who earn their living. A couple
of weeks after Mrs. Notson disappeared
this paper said all it had to say in regard
to this man unless he comes up for re-
election. The letters which were pub
lished then, speak for themselves. He
is no worse than the disgraceful system
which winks at perfidy and declares it
to be the correct thing, in politics.
His game was more disastrous to him
than is common, and he shall never be
reelected. The women have decided.
The dead are dead. All the resolutions
and revenge possible cannot alter that
fact The state Of mind which made
such a deed as Mrs. Notson committed
possible to young mother, was brought
about by a complication Of circum-
stances. A kind word or loving deed at
the right moment might have saved her.
Remorse can do no good. II her sad
fate makes us more thoughtful to the
living, makes us more generous with
shortcomings, makes us say kind word
and offer helping hand to one in
trouble, the death will not have been in
vain"

Peters and Baker, may feel it incum.
bent on them to do what they can for
Harrison. Rosewater can be depended
on to do what he can for the ex- presi.
dent. prompted solely by self-interest.
But. unless there is big change in
sentiment. the Nebraska delegation will
be solid for Mckinley.
John NJ. Thurston is the Nebraska
member Of the republican national COM
mittee, and he may have an opportunity
to mix in national politics at an early
day. Senator Carter. Of Montana. the
present chairman Of the committee. has
obtruded his free silver views on the
country Of late in such a conspicuous
manner that he has became decidedly
obnoxious to a good many members Of
the committee. and there is talk Of a
special meeting for the purpose Of re-
moving him. The next regular meeting
will not be held until February. Carter
will probably hold on as long as he can,
and should there be an effort to remove
him there will be display OF fireworks.
Nebraska will be well represented at
the national convention Of republican
clubs which will be held In Ohio this
month. This national convention will
be significant as leading factor in the
Mckinley boom. Being held in Nc
Kinley's own state its possibilities will
probably be utilized to the uttermost by
the friends Of the governor. As pre-
viously announced there will be no state
convention of republican clubs this
year.

The Awakening Tiger.

Between the drowsy sleep of the noc- turnal animals and the hypersensitive sleep of those which spend their lives in constant fear of their enemies a place must be found for the form of slumber enjoyed by the large oarnivora and that of domestic animals. The former have no enemies to fear except man, and the latter, protected by man, enjoy to the full the blessing of natural rest
 Tigers are frequently found fast asleep in the daytime. Native hunters have been known to track them after a "kill" to the place in which they were lying fast asleep and gorged with food and to shoot them as they lie. When taking his midday repose in districts where it is little disturbed, the tiger does not always retire to place of se- curity, like the bear, or even the leop- ard, which usually sleeps on the branch of tree. It just lies down in some con- venient spot, either shady or warm, &C., cording to the weather, and there sleeps almost regardless of danger. They have been found lying in dry nullahs. under trees and even in the grass of the hill sides unobserved until their disturber came within few yards of them.
 General Douglas Hamilton, when shooting in the Dandilly forest, came upon a tigress and two cubs lying fast asleep on their backs, with their paws sticking up in the air, under a olump of bamboos. When he was within few yards of the group, one raised it's head and without moving its hody quietly looked at him along the line of it's body between it's paws. Tigers kept in cap hvity awaken gradually, stretching and Yawning like dog. g.-London Spectator.
