HISTORY OF DELAYED LETTER.
Forty-sevcn Years In Reaching Its
prupcr Dcstfuntfpu,

GRAND ISLAND, Feb. S-(Special.)-
How long letter may be enroute from one
person to another and yet finally reach its
destination was illustrated the other day
when Fred Hedde, the former editor OF the
Independent, received a letter from Sege-
berg, swg-Holsteln, inclosing another
letter, which certainly can claim right to a
history. The enclosed letter was dated
Lubbock, 1Si9." 1t reached the person ad-
dressed in 1896. And 1t contained 81 in cur
rency. which has since been outlawed The
letter was protected by five seals had on
1t the postmark Lubbock, 1919, and enclosed
was slip, Enclosed find 81, due you for
correspondence" The letter was sent by the
Lubbock Gazette. Another strange feature
is that Hedde does not remember that he
eve- wrote line for such paper, though at
the time young lawyer in Kel corresponded
for several German papers and magazines in
Hamburg, Cologne and Stuttgart Though
he had his residence in Kiel, Hedde was gen.
orally absent from there al that time, as he
was one of the editors Of the North German
FREQ Press, then edited in Altona. In con-
sequence this letter was probably delivered
to some other person, who placed 1t among
Hedde's papers and 1t remained there un-
noticed by him. When the latter after the
close OF the Schleswig- -Hols.ein war; emf
grated to the United States all his papers
and books were sent TO his brother, Johannes
Hedde, at Segeberg, who kept them for over
forty years in his archives, together with his
own documents. Here the letter was lately
discovered by a clerk and sent to Grand Is-
land, where 1t yesterday found the man to
whom 1t had been addressed The long de-
layed receipt for the money was at once
sent Ia the Lubbock Gazette.

Dear Sir: l have the honor to enclose

bill to turn over old Fort Omaha to this
state for the use of the National guard.
The attempt to secure the old post of

the members of our guard. General Charles

THE oFFICE-sEEKING HORDE.
EN-Prcsident Harrison Says His Posi-
ton Mns Full of TrinIs.

tfOn Was Full of Trials.
At the beginning of every administration
Washington fills up with persons vino desire
some office either in the states, in the depart
ments or in the foreign service, writes eX-
President Harrison in March Ladies' Home
Many Of these persons have a limited purse,
and as the days pass on this is exhausted,
and mpatience and i'll temper come in.
Many of these persons are deserving and
we'll fitted to fill the offices they desire. But
1t is impossible to find places for all the de-
serving. and the position of the president is
full of trial. The suspense and uncertainty
that the officeseeker suffers is illustrated by
the case Of a man from my own state who
thought he had good reason to expect an
appointment from President Garfield. After
he had been weeks at Washington, and had
brought to bear all the influence he could
command, met him one day on the street
and asked him how he was getting along.
His answer was, Very we'll, very WELL but
there is nothing focal yet" 1t was wonder
fully expressive and has remained in my
memory as a type of the state of uncertainty
which accompanies officeseeking. Nothing
focal yet" but a hope that is hard to kill
There are few Offices at Washington the
salaries Of which enable the incumbent to
save any money, and the average experience
of those holding places in the departments, /
am sure. is, If they would express it, that
private business offers better returns and
gives better chance for advancement.

CORRECT BREATHING.
How II IL Snid to Help the 81
Woman To JlccOme Thinner.

How II IL Snid to Help the stout
Woman to Become Thinner.
1t has been discovered that the double
chin can be banished by correct breathing,
says the Philadelphia Record. The woman
with short neck must hold her head high,
even stretching her neck until conscious of
the tension of the cords. She should also
practice dropping her head and letting II
rcll listlessly about. This will give grace
ful poise to the head. and the exercise of
muscles will help consume the extra amount
of fat. Lung exercises in breathing are the
best exercises for excessive stoutness. The
best time for this is before dressing in the
morning and after undressing at night. Five
or ten minutes exercise every day will re-
duce the flesh in wonderfully short time.
Stand erect, with the head and chin well up,
and rise upon the toes at each inspiration,
holding the breath moment then expelling
1t fcrcibly, coming down upon the heels at
the same time.
Another good breathing exercise is to draw
in full, deep breath. Retain the breath
whllo counting fifteen and then slowly expel
1t. Sometimes stout women move the arms
gracefully but the body has an utter lack OF
liberty and free motion or suppleness. Draw
ing her corsets tighter never did make a
stout woman less stout In appearance. The
first care Is not to lace too tightly; the sec
ond is to Danish all idea of being stout from
your mind, and let the muscles have as free
play as possible. All women can learn to
use their bodies gracefully, even If there is
a predsposition to stoutness. Stout women
are often the lightest dancers, and there is
no reason why they should not be graceful
in pose and motion If a woman draws her
breath freely from the bottom of her lungs
she diminishes the effect of her size imme-
6iately by doing away with that ready-to-
burst look that is generally associated with
stoutness. That is the look that must be
avoided, even If the waist measures an inch
or 80 more and the bust and shoulders gain

President Dole was born in 1S43. He
, graduated from Norwich University in the

political science in the university. In 1895
he was unanimously elected president, to
succeed ex-Secretary of State Hon. George
Nichols. He has held, as the public good
required, nearly all Of the public offices in

mont, and which has been dry since last
spring, except for occasional stagnant pools
now has quite stream of water flowing
through it. The Ames cutoff ditch, which
has been dry about the same length of time
is also carrying considerable water As
there have been no rains here to amount to
anything for the past five months and the
ground is very dry, the probable source Of
the water Is an interesting problem. 1t is
a well known fact that the Platte bottoms
are underlaid by body of water which can
be reached by driving wells down in some
places as low as eight feet, but usually from
twelve to twenty, and that the distance of
water varies with the height of the Platte
river The Platte is not as high as it us
ually is when the ice goes out and it is
thought that the water underground Is
