been searching her pocket and duding
nothing she blrshed violently and
stammered: I'm in the same fx.n

MARY'S PEDESTRIAN.

The Germans have a legend, quaint
and old
That tells the story of that tuft of
gold
We call the golden rod;
They Irvine this flower with the holy
On which in Bethlehem the Christ was
The blessed son of God.
They say that ON the bed where Mary
lay
This golden blossom shone amidst the
hay,
And strewed the humble cave;
1t lent the only glory to the place
That housed the Saviour of the human
A golden bed and pave.
In honor of the humble part 1T had
In this event that made whole world
This day of days the best;
They call it 'Mary's bedstraw and
they hold
The yellow bloom as though 'twere
Above all other blest.

PATHS GRANDNIECE.

Patti has had her special guest this
summer at Craig-yNos castle, her
grand nieve, Miss Louise Barill, an
American girl, whose home is in At
lanta. Ga. Miss Barill is the IS year
old daughter of PATHS favorite neph-
ew, Alfredo Barill. Writing of her
visit to girl friend in this city, Miss
Barill says:
ave have had delightful time
since we have been here and Aunt Adj
elina wants me to stay year and go
with her to Switzerland, but / can
never stand it to be away from papa
and mamma so long. 1 want to tell
you about our visit to london, where
we have been twice. The first time
auntie sang at the Crystal palace and
at Alfred de ROthschild's, the second
time at Albert hall. Her voice was
never better.
1--WE sail on the 10th, so we have
not much longer to stay. Aunt Adelin-
ma has given me so many lovely
things and beautiful picture of her
self. She has rented a bicycle for me
to ride while here. There are lots of
guests here now, and they give a per-
fOrmance in the beautiful theatre
nearly every night"
One delightful incident in Miss Bar
ills visit was the meeting with her
granduncle, Herman Vein of London,
the actor, who is called The Master"
He has been playing at Swanzea,
Wales, and gave a special perform
ance of Hamlet" for the Barills and
MINNIE. Patti. They went from the
Castle to Swanzea, twenty miles, on
special train. where the mayor and
mayOress met them and they drove in
carriages, preceded y mounted po-
lice, through gayly decorated streets,
and were cheered by the people. Her
man Vein is nearly 20 years old, bus
he sustains his numerous roles with
all the fire and vigor of youth. Miss
Laura V. johnson of Louisville is one
of his most promising pupils, and is
playing with his company this sum-
mer.

received a special inspiration to work
for his country and to do knightly
deeds upon the spur of the moment

In the twenty-five years since the
first class was graduated IRON the
University of Nebraska it has grown
from an obscure school of the grade
of an academy, lacking distinction IN
the composition of the facury and IN
the curriculum, and enrolling only
small number of students to univer-
sity of the first class, in which not
more than twelve schools in this coun-
try can be included. Among the pres
emit faculty are men who are well
known to the scientists and scholars
of this country and Europe. They
have added their contributions to the
slowly accommodating stores OF knowi-
edge and induction and at the same
time have increased the fame and dis
tinction of the institution in which
they teach.
Registration has begun and indl-
Gates an attendance of over twenty
five hundred. Before the school year
is finished there will probably be three
thousand students in the university.
1t is an institution of which a real
Nebraskan is proud. All other state
institutions are remedial, punitive,
legislative or philanthropic. None OF
them send out into the state
every year hundred or more
Young men and women with their
wits sharpened and taste culti-
waited and chastened by study and as
soc:ation with the best there is in lit
erature and science. The effect of
such a cumulative stream of inspira-
ton will not be apparent perhaps I'M
til another quarter of a century has
passed. Then this big state will ac-
knowledge its gratitude to the state
university.

At Chickamauga, even in Gods own

The ordnance department was as bad

Systems are slow, war is rapid. The
generals of the purse sitting in their
offices in Washington cannot under
stand the necessity for immediate re-

Gated to systems cannot understand,

THE WIDOW IN PEACE.
[Town Topics War Correspondent

To bring back to America our deaG

tribute to soldier heroes who Tough

Santiago I'm ITSELF death trap, COINS

Spanish bullets were heaven in com

this showing to the world the pluck OF
the American-why not say that theiI
own loved home soil shall be their
final resting place.
1t not only sounds well, but there
is something of poetry in the saying
of it. Those who are left to us, how.
ever, our remaining soldiers, our Of
ficers and the war department itself
know it cannot be done. Ii cannot be
done becaIse OF the unwritten side
of this war.
This unwritten side is so much
worse than the horrors that have
been told that those who know cannot
write it, and if they could, in the real
izing knowledge of all that came TO
loved ones, unbalanced minds would
accompany unstrung hearts.
Graphic writers have allowed their
pens to slide over the worst, but there
are the living wounded to tell of the
vultures that lowered over them, wait
ing for death to give to them their
prev: of the near dead claimed by
these creatures before their very eyes
before assistance could come to them
or burial to their comrades, and again
after burial, from shallow, rain-wash-
ed graves. Polished bones lie gEsten-
ing i'm Cuba's sun, and in one creek,
from which our men and officers We're
drinking, were found six skeletons.
Our returned correspondents have
fought mental battles that have I'M
nerved them equally with the Soldiers.
There may be something left to bring
back all we gave for the Cuban's but
it is false and cruel hope to hold out
to members of broken homes. If the
War Department is sincere in its de-
sire to give comfort to those who gave
their fathers, sons, brothers and hus-
bands to die in this war against 'in-
humanity" and would like to build
monument for itself to last through
the years to come, make sacred this
battlefield in Cuba. Do, as everyone
who has been there and witnessed the
horrors will say, make there national
cemetary.
This skirmishing among generals
for glory, and from kitchen generals
to medical generals to fix the blame OF
the suffering army on the other fellow,
would be amusing if At were not so ex-

NoXubee County

The whole country well knows that
much of the money appropriated by
congress for public works and more es-
pecially that given for the relief of indi,
viduals or parties who have claims
against the government, goes into the
hands of lobbyists, men who have, or
are presumed to have friends at
court, - who Fan be induced TO vote for
the desired measures Of relief, and as
this is the business Of these men, of
course they demand a consideration for
their valuable services. 1t is corrup-
ton stalking in high places in broad
day light. Not even the churches are
exempt from the grasp of these money
sharks.
Some time ago a bill appropriating
$3.50, 900 was passed for the relief of the
Methodist Publishing House at Nash.
Vile, whose property was destroyed dur,
ing the war, Many of the Senators
promised to vote for the bill provided
that no part Of the money was to 90 to
lobbyists, and it seems that Barbee and
Smith gave assurance to the senators
that not Il dollar of it would be paid to
any lobbyist, but in spite Of this it Is
now known that sos, 600 of the people 5
money was paid to a man named Stahl

him $50, 900 or $40, 600 to secure the pas.

is a powerful institution and it is to be

senate committee will make, in accor.
