TO THE YOUNG; Remember, yourg
folks, as you grow with me into a fuller
understanding of your actual existence
as living responsible thing, separate
as TO identity from every other that the
world is and must be run by the people
that are in it. How absurdly simple
that sounds! But the sound is the only
simple part OF it. Give the fact deep
thought and it will encourage you as it
has me, to put forth the best effort DOS
sible To realize that the mutitudinous
activities of the world are based upon
living beings, not dead ones, lis to get the
belief burned into your soul that YOU
obscure, insignificant, weak perhaps
are part of the machinery.
Then too the active participants in the
great affairs OF the world are Just ordi-
nary-occasionally very ordinary -hu.
man beings. They have the same kind of
ileFh as you, the same tendency to idle.

one can associate the idea of age with
him, when, with persstency most remark
able, he continues to write on the most
erudite subjects and brightens them with
the very latest gleanings OF knowledge.
Another instance comes TO my mind.
Last sunday heard DR.. Edward Everett
Hale, of Boston. This friend OF Holmes,
and of the groupe who have made Bos-
ton famous in American literature, is
growing very old, but, like Moses, his fire
is not sbated. His voice. inste ad OF being
tr,b Die or husky piping, is deep and foil,
and makes one think, from its resonance
and power. OF the voice OF one who shout
eth beneath a bridge When he blurted
out in his peculiar way some emphatic
thought bis whole body seemed TO rise
up and distend in the pulpit. Yet, thought
|. msnnerisms voice, frame, these three,
would not have drawn such an audience
had there not been in his sermon per-
feet and harmonious touch with the
thought, the questions, the difficulties OF
this actual present day.
Al cannot be rs pleasant as Holmes
nor as learned as Gladstone, nor "a in
auential as Hale, but none are as limited
in their possibilities and theirenjoyments
As those of an earlier age.
Your only hope for the complete conf
ience of the young around you is TO
make them feel your interest in the pres
mt day and your kindly entry into their
and perplexities. Any differ
Mt course will estrange them and you
Til be bereft Of the sweetest solace OF
ge that comes from thelooking upward
{ the young for advice and guidance.
lmost with hush in his voice, one of
ne college boys said to me today on my
ay to Trenton for my Thanksgiving
inner; "Mrs. McCosh looks after us
Dys yet. What do you think? The
her day she called on sick boy though
lie did not know him. We boys rever- l
ice her." That is model old age. c

A Red Hot Campaign.

The present campaign will be the most
exciting one fought out since the war.
There will not be day when something
of unusual interest will not transpire.
The State Journal has made up its mind
to surpass all its former efforts in the
direction of news-giving, and will give
its readers the most complete details of
the campaign, giving all the news from
an unbiased standpoint. Republicans
will want The Journal because of its
staunch Republican principles, it being
recognized as the standard bearer of the
great Republican party OF Nebraska.
Populists and Democrats should read it
for the news it gives. The Semi Weekly
Journal will 60 to thousands of new
homes during the campaign. You should
subscribe, as it will only cost you rs
cents from now until November IS. Two
papers every week, making it almost as
good as daily. Subscribe through your
postmaster or send your order to The
State Journal, Lincoln, Nebraska.

A RattIing Circular.

The following circular has been issued
by the executive committee of the Nc
Cook Republican club to its members.
1t will bear publication, though only in
tended for circulation among the club
members:
MCKINLEY AND HOBART CLUB.
McCooK, August I3, IS96.-Dear Sir:
AS a member of Republican club you
will, of course, expect to take an active
part in what promises to be the hottest
political campaign since the civil war.
You will do all in your power to secure
more members, circulate the reading
matter and encourage attendance at the
meetings.
Let your fellow citizens know that you
stand, squarely and fairly for sound mon
ey and protective tariff. Denounce the
unholy alliance of Populists and Dem-
ocrats, which, if successful in the COM
ing election, will plunge the country in
TO financial ruin and shame such as was
never known in history, debasing the
currency, destroying the national credit,
swindling the producer, cheating the
wage Garner, defrauding the creditor,
and only benefting the dishonest debtor
and the owners of silver mines.
A reading room will soon be opened at
the corner of Main and Dennison streets,
and your frequent presence there is
urged.
The finance committee will call on
you for small subscription to the fund
for necessary expenses (seats and lights
for the room, printing and postage and
music). This fund will be carefully ad-
ministered to secure the best results.
You are interested in the results of
this campaign. Do your share of the
work. Respectfully,
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

PLEASANT RIDGE.

j. w. Jones, G. T. Eller and Carl
Watkins expect to start for Colorado
in day or two.
There is now no necessity for fight
ing about whose crops are the best.
The drouth has settled that question.
Mel. D. Holmes, one of our old neigh
bors, passed through our part of the
country on last Sunday.
News is somewhat scarce this week
as we are not permitted to mention
the weather, potato bugs, or our good
farmers.
We understand that Sam has taken
our advice and put bridge across
the creek which he had to cross at
least every Sunday night.
MIR. and Mrs. E. c. Goehring and
Mrs. James Harris travelled south in
search of grapes, Monday. They
found the grapes plentiful.
George Harris says that there is
no place like Nebraska, and whenever
he had the chills in Arkansas he
sighed for his old Nebraska home.
1t must have been a severe battle
which Tattling Tillie fought as we
have not seen or heard of her for two
weeks. Moral: never fight where you
are unable to conquer.

of the citizens of the town. 1t was
the more attractive and interesting
by reason of the presence of so many
lovely, rosy-Cheeked, pretty-as-a-pink
girls and women, whose faces were
radiant with a full-grOwn Nebraska
smile. They had prepared, and pre-
sented each visitor with a ''boka"
made of heads of small grain and of
alfalfa. They had tastefully ar
ranged a splendid exhibit of farm
products. A photograph was taken
of the display. The train pulled into
Indianola mid the music of the band
and the thunder of the bass drum.
Here the ladies were present, pretty
as a picture, and assisted in enter
tanning the visitors in manner wOr-
thy of the occasion. There was Il
splendid display of the products of
the farm exhibited here. The train
rolled into McCook mid oppressive
and protracted silence. High officials
on the train were not pleased at the
action of MCCoOk towards the visi-
tors, and were surprised to learn that
a business man had told some of his
guests that ''there had been but one
crop raised here in fourteen years.

of promise is difficult to explain, when

LIPPINooTT's MAGAZINE FOR AU-
GUST, 1896.-The complete novel in
the August issue of Lippancotfs is
"The Great <. & A. Train Robbery"
by Paul Leicester Ford. The scene
shifts from one part of the West to
another; the action has some rapid
and surprising turns, especially
when the actors are considered and
the result is an eminently readable
aud lively narrative. Clarinda Pen
dleton Lamar is evidently at home
"In Louisa County" and her story
brings wildly before us the rural
Virginia of old, with its hospitality,
its unworldliness, its primitive and
peculiar charm. Golden Rod and
Asters,' by Meth Boyce, is tale
of youth renewed after long inter
val, and of middls-aged reunion.
1t was the office-boy of whom Evan
r. Chesterman writes in 1.-THE Dew
IFS One Good Deed and the deed
was one of life-saving and sacrifice.
The poetry Of the number consists
of a sonnet by John B. Tabb and
quatrains by Edith NJ. Thomas,
Clarence Urmy and Arthur W. At
kinson.
