less commercial value to us
than full sets, but to the pur-

We have a vast number of
broken tea sets, odd cups and
saucers, breakfast, dinner and
tea plates, and glassware. All
these have been massed to-
gether to form the foundation
for bargain week. The
prices are a third off cost, and
for cash there will be a dis
count. That means that the
goods will go to everyone for
the same average price, for the
reason that with the reduction
and discount the prices will be
too low to admit of loss of
interest accommodating on time
accounts.
This sale will last one week

this class Of goods at such low

II is due TO- this fact that Nebraska

nearly all the western forms extend

cow" and this Is the story OF his bondage
and emancipation. Early last May
neighbor brought in fresh mich COW
from the farm. young beaut and one
that would lift man over church ii she
had the chance. The neighbors couldn't
touch her, so the slave" who in his
youth boosted that he would milk any
COW in the country. came over and tried
his hand. He tied the animal up to the
manager. 30 close that she could look
only straight ahead, pushed her side
gently over against the barn wall, slid
quickly down upon the milking stool
and then with his left knee pinned the
animals hind legs to the timbers. The
COW struggled and backed and tossed
her head and beloved from sheer vex-
alton, but the man held herfdst until the
milking was finished. The owner
watched him and then proposed bar
gain. The man was to feed the COW and
do the milking and receive half the
milk. The two shook hands over the
agreement, the COW was lei over to the
friend's house and from that moment
his slavery began.
He could manage TO milk her but
sometimes he was q little slow or tied
her head too loosely or something of the
kind. and more than once he was sent
spravling to the floor or nailed to the side
Of the barn. And then he never could
regulate her comings and goings. She
was constantly breaking out OF pasture
either to come home AMI despoil the
garden and lawn or to wander into q
cornfield at the edge Of town and run
the danger of laundering before the
herd boy could find her. His whole life
came to swing about that COW. The
regularity of the household. his business
and his church duties were disturbed
and his pleasures were impaired by
constant anxiety over the beast.
He stood it five weeks, and then,
early in June, after chasing that COW
through cornfield for four hours one
morning and missing the early train to
Lincoln, where his son graduated from
the state university, the slave" sent her
back 20 the neighbor, hurled the milk
stool drought the feed-bin, kicked the
pail into The alley and has since been
taking milk of the dairyman in Fart
payment on a bad debt.

Favorable notice is given in the col
umns of Machinery, an English jour
nal, of the new artificial fuel known as
eggette or ovoid, in distinction from
the more familiar briquettes for that
purpose. Special regard has charac-
terized the efforts put forth in this in
dustry by Europeans to produce fuel
as cheap as possible, and suited, in the
highest degree, for convenient hand
ling, storage, and transportation. The
systems of preparing the coal for cook
ing and briquetting by washing and
jigging, originated in Europe, and have
been there long practiced to such an
extent that, almost throughout the
whole of the continent, coke can be
guaranteed to contain only certain

Singular as it may seem, there are
those who predict thah the present
popularity of the bicycle is likely to
result in an increased demand for sad
die horses, or even say that its effects
may be seen already in some localities.
The habit of exercise in the open
air, of frequent excursions to points
near by or far away, and the gaining
of confidence in the safety of trusting
to other means of locomotion than the
luxurious buggy or carriage, is already
creating, they say, a desire to COM
pare the ease of riding the horse and
the wheel. They wish to know
whether the pleasure and exhilaration
which they feel upon the iron steed
cannot be found equally well and with
equal safety upon horseback, with a
relief from the labor of pedaling.
Some OF those who can afford it are
trying to acquire as much skill upon
horseback as they have in bicycling,
and others may follow their example.
1t is scarcely half century since
the buggies were almost unknown,
and the two-wheeled chaise or the
heavier carriage was the resort only of
old people too clumsy to ride as they
did in their youth, or of some
young dandy who desired to go out in
company with a companion of the
other sex. The farmers son could
well content himself upon the horse,
often without saddle at all, and
sometimes the daughter was equally
skillful. Now it is only the rich man s
son who has been able to take his les
sons at riding academy who prefers
the horse to the bicycle, but if the
horse becomes fashionable, many who
are not rich will find that they must
acquire the art or take their place
among the questionable crowd, des-
titute of the proper accomplishments
of society.
And when that time comes shall we
see the young man and maiden using
che saddle and pillion, as did their
grandparents, instead of the tandem
wheel? Who knows? Horse breeders
may take the hint to break their colts
to good saddle gait, and accustom
them to flowing skirts or to bloomer
costumes. Perhaps it was to encour-
age this fancy for horseback riding

The inveterate sewing woman's last,
worst gift to the world is the hay
quilt. 1t is made of fannelette, Gre
tonne or wool and few armfuls OF
hay. The good are sewed across the
top and bottom from side to side at
distances of about fourteen inches;
then the hay Is put in lightly and the
remaining side sewed down. When
the hay becomes limp the quilt may
be hung before the fire, and it will soon
become crisp again. The warmth of
these quilts cannot be realized except
by those who have tried them. New

To Clean Carpets.

For cleaning the spots on the carpet
OK gall or ammonia and water are ex-
cellent. The proportion is one table,
spoonful of household ammonia to four
parts of water, or use one tablespoon
full of OK gall to one quart of water.
Apply with sponge or flannel not too
wet and rub until nearly dry. Lime
spots may be removed with vinegar.
This must be used quickly and washed
off Immediately. For SCOT, cover with
salt or cornmeal and sweep up. To
remove ink spots pour on milk, and as
it becomes colored absorb with blot
ting or other soft absorbent paper;
coarse butchers paper is good. AS
soon as the ink is removed wash with
warm water and CASTLE soap-nothing
stronger-to remove the grease of the
milk.

Preserving His Boots.

A new wrinkle may be learned from
an English soldier who was noted for
keeping his boots In Setter condition
and making them last longer than any
Of his brother officers. When asked
what he did to them to prevent the
leather from cracking and keeping it
soft and smooth his reply was "Mut-
ton bone" When an explanation was
demanded he said: at is nothing, 1 as
sure you. My man asks the cook for a
knuckle bone, which he cleans and then
bakes. After rubbing the leather with
cream, he then frotes them as hard as
he can with the bone. Usually my boots
last me three years.-New Orleans
