A few years ago hard times made
the Western farmer deny himself
everything save the barcst necessities
OF life. Then came the great crop
year of 1897 and with IL n story. A
Nebraska farmer carried a mortgage
OF $4,000 on his property and It was
n burden hard to contend with. The
wheat crop in 81 was enormous and
prices were high. lie appeared at the
bank shortly after harvest. pulled out
$1,000 and asked for loan of $500 to
enable him to cancel the mortgage
note. The banker, who held the note.
urged him not to bother about II. but
go and buy cattle with his $1,000. feed
his corn crop and In that way get tho
maximum for his product NO. sir"
replied the farmer, 81 want to pay
that note now. Then when harvest
the corn crop I'm goin' to pay you back
that $500 Just borrowed. and then
do you know what I'm going to do?"
and his honest face bcamed all over
with pleasure. I'm going to buy a
buggyT' This little incident tells the
story OF thousands of others out in
Nebraska. and the fact that during the
past six months one concern CThc
Stovcr Carriage Company of Chicago)
have shipped to one firm in Omaha
alone one hundred and thirty carloads
OF bugEies and carriages, averaging
about % to the car, makes IT. very evil
dent that prosperity Is with Nebraska.
II is n wonderful state with great re-
sources, and the crops of the past few
years have put Nebraska farmers in
an enviablc position.

1t was not until after this speech that
the world came to know of Ingersolls 8
Views on religion. He was offered large
sums by lecture bureaus to speak on any
topic he chose throughout the country,
and he selected the Bible as his theme.
Most people remember the lectures he de-

up the practice Of law and became one
of the most successful legal lights OF the
metropolis. 1ngersofl rarely failed to get
the fee he demanded, though sometimes
the sum he named would take away the
breath Of the client.
Personally Ingersoll was jolly good
fellow. His good nature was notable. He
seemed to have fear of nobody. He used
to say that he never disciplined his chill

custom to leave well filled wallet on the
mantel In the dining room to which any
member of his family had free access.
When the money was nearly gone he
filled 1t up and never asked any questions
as to what had become of it. His daugh-
ters were not allowed to go to church
when they were children. and when they
grew up they did not care to 60. They
never went to school a day In their lives,
being trained entirely by their father and
mother at home.
Ingersoll never denied that there was a
God. He used to say that the Bible was
a beautiful book and that he would give

fight on Wednesday, at Bobong, be-
tween Captain Byrne. of the Sixteenth

was one man killed and one wounded.
The fighting was mostly at close quar-
ters, with bayonets and dubbed guns.

arms was captured
The unprecedented rains Of the last
week have convinced observers here
that military operations on large
scale or advances covering many miles
will be impossible for a long time.
Many miles of country are flooded to
a depth of three or four Feet. The
Paranaque bridge. which was consider
