The Farm Beats the mortgage.

There is a story from Buffalo County
going the rounds that illustrates the
resources of Nebraska farm: Alarm
er up there from Missouri got discour-
aged because he didn't get rich the first
year, and as there was a mortgage OF
$500 on his farm, was about ready to
jump the whole business, but deter
mined to make one more effort and
sowed eighty acres in wheat. 1t hap
pened to be poor year for wheat and
the stand was not very good. Conclud-
ing that it wasn't worth harvesting he
pulled up his stakes and moseyed back
to Missouri, leaving the farm to hight
the mortgage all by itself. The farm
was equal to the occasion.
The wheat ripened, fell down and de-
posted the seed in the soil again. Next
spring the wheat began to grow lus-
tily. Some of the neighbors were hon
est enough to write about it down to
the fugitive in Missouri, and he got in
terested enough to come back and take
a look. Then he stopped and harvested
his voluntary crop. He sold 1t for
enough to pay off the mortgage and
the rest of his debts and had tidy lit
tie surplus over, with which he moved
his family back and now declares there
is no state like Nebraska.-Lincoln

FRENCH ARMY AGAIN AVENGED

The cable announces that Urban
Gohier. one Of the editors OF the Au-
rore, has seriously wounded Lieut.
Mercier. son Of the general, in duel
resulting from attacks made on the
officer by Gohier's paper. This is not
the first time that the brilliant jour-
nalist has attacked "the honor of the
army" and has in turn been bitterly
assailed by the officers. In the thick
of the Dreyfus excitement, when the
honor OF the army" was thing to
conjure with, Gohler published book
called THE Army Against the Ma
ton," in which he exposed the moral
rottenness OF the military establish
ment. He did not criticise the army
from military standpoint, but point
ed out its defects and weaknesses
from the social side, declaring 1t to be
constant menace to republican in
stitutions. The book created such
sensation that its author was arrest.

He stood before the window; his
breast was full of love,
And this is what he warbled to the
maid who slept above:
"Ah, must say goodby, goodby?
is this to be the end
To meet in future and to greet
Each other but as friend?
"Ah, must say goodby, goodby?
And must haste away,
Nor come again to claim your heart
Your heart and hand some day?
"Ah, must 1 say goodby, goodby?
And must l leave you here,
And wander far from you who are
So dear, sweetheart, so dear?
"Ah, must say goodby, goodby,
Ere you have learned to know
The secret that long to tell,
Dear heart, before / go?"
He fell below her window-he sang
no more of love
Some brute had hurled a pitcher
down from the fiat above.

Sometime ago a brakeman on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad used his
brains and saved a passenger train
from running into two derailed cars.
The Company sent him a check for
$50 and posted a bulletin compliment
ing him for his quickness of thought.
A few days later, Engineer John Hag-
erty was oiling his engine at Connells-
vile, while waiting for the passengers
to alight. He heard another train
coming and believed that it was not
under proper control. He sprang into
his cab, opened the throttle and start
ed his train. The other engine struck
the rear car but it was not hard blow
and Hagerty's promptness saved ten
or a dozen lives. The Company has
ordered a handsome gold watch. suit
ably inscribed, and a gold chain for
Engineer Hagerty, as a reward for his
devotion to duty and using his
brains" in time of emergency.

TO Live with Her Husband because she
Says He L. HomeIy.
New York World Mrs Jennie Gold
tdrb has given novel excuse for re-
fusing to live with her husband Sam
uel. She says that he is too homely
for any woman to live with. Goddard
who is a philosopher, admits that he
is not an Apollo, but he also insists
that his wife has never been known
as a professional beauty. The Gold
farbs have had good deal OF trouble
since they were married in 1890. 1t
took Mrs. Goldfarb but a short time to
discover that her husband did not
come up to her standard OF manly
beauty, and she began to make things
uncomfortable for him. Occasionally
she went back to her mother. AT an
other time Samuel in despair sent her
to Europe, hoping that when she re-
turned he would find favor in her eyes.
But matters were still worse when she
came back, and, according to num-
Der OF affidavits, in the possession OF
former Judge II. w Leonard, Gold
farb's counsel, she lively refused
TO live with him at AL. Goddard in
the meantime had spent small for
tune on complexion beautiflers, hair
restorers and other toilet luxuries. He
became a Berry Wall in his dress. But
his wife remained obdurate, and flnal-
iy, short time ago, charged him be-
fore Magistrate Hogan with desertion
Goddard was sent-railroaded, he says
Ito the island for six months. He
gave bond and was released. He at
once sued for separation, and for

utdn't Worry Her.

The Scimitar says that a Memphis
matron engaged a new colored girl
recently, who is something of liter
airy character. for she devotes most Of
her time to reading Observation-Disclosures
romances.
The other day the matron found the
girl buried deep in her ,favorite book,
while the baby was tumbling into all
sorts Of mischief.
Look here, Luvinia," she said,
how can you tend the baby and
read your book at the same time?"
"Oh, the baby don't bother me er
little bit" was the reply.
