To put the brake on the wagon going

when the wagon is heavily loaded.
But what driver would think of apply
ing the brake to a loaded wagon going
up hill? II he did, his sensible horses
would probably balk. Many a man is
in the condition of pulling load up
hill with the brake set against him.

, The state.y creature nTst attracted
attention as it bat imperceptibly
against the wind from the distant
horizon, travelling in great circles to-
ward the ship that 1t always had in
view, says the Cornhill. Who can
gauge the sight Of an a.batross? The
eyes can be focused at will to pene-
trate incredible ranges, and frag-
ment of food cast upon the waters will
rapidly allure 1t from distances far be-
yond the powers of human sight. To
see the enormous bird thus circle
round the ship, with wings fully ex-
banded, though well-nigh motionless,
Is certainly one of the wonders of ma
ture. The only muscular action WIS.,
ible is a slight tremor at the extreme
points of the wings, vibration so
rapid that it cannot be detected with
out the most careful observation.
There is no suggestion of force en-
ployed in the flight. but simply that
movement which sailors understand
by the word cant-a fitting of the
body out of the plane-which serves to
| give both power and direction in
space. In very calm weather there Is
q heavy tapping of the wings, in
ratio, however as the force of the
wind increases, SO muscular action
disappears until gale finds the alba
tross poised above the ship in midair
with an easy grace which is inexplc-
able Lying upon my back on the
wheelbox, ! have with glasses riveted
the eyes of such a bird as 1t lowered
steadily above the mast OF the ship.
The green irides showed that curious
expansion and contraction which is
the special character of bird sight. Ex-
cept for faint tremor, the wings
moved not from the horizontal posi-
ton; the feet were tucked away be-
meath the tail, and an expression OF
| gentle confidence gave the impression
OF friendly, sociable nature.
Dim ideas of Coleridge and "The
Ancient Mariner" floated through my
mind as I gazed in silence; there was
an easy shot and the rife was close
at hand, but the murderous act was
not committed. The same albatross
accompanied us for days; however the
wind might rage or the ship toss al
the mercy Of the waves. it remained
In close attendance, conveying a sense
of perfect rest, though hardly, If ever
still. In this lies the great secret o
its attraction, and the evolutions IL
space are followed by the travelel
with an interest that never dies.

ABSOLUTE FAIRNESS,

The contest is open to
Daily and Weekly subscribers
alike, and the conditions are
easy. 1t matters not whether
you are an old subscriber or
a new subscriber; whether you
are a subscriber to the Daily
or Weekly HERALD; whether
you are in arrears or have
paid in advance. The simple,
single condition is this:
PAY A DOLLAR AND
GET THE HERALD AND
A GUESS.
If you are already paid in
advance, that dollar will pay
you that much further in ad-
vance, and that guess may
get you the Furniture.
If you are in arrears, that
dollar will pay that much OF
the debt, and the guess may
give you a rich mans couch
to sleep upon.
If you are not a subscriber
it is time you were, and now
is the time to begin.
In the Ph9ton contest the
early guessers as a rule came
closer to the mark than the
late gueSsers. So don't wait
Guess now! Then, later on,
if you wish, pay another dol
lar and guess again.

resented by the young men who had
been victimized by him. The story of
Bryan's betrayal of these men, forms an
interesting chapter in the political and
military history of Nebraska. 1t can
best be told in the language of the boys
themselves. A committee representing
the regiment under date of June 18TH,
1898, issued a statement setting forth
Bryan's perfidy. This committee was
composed of five well known Nebras.
kans, all graduates of the University of
Nebraska 1t is true they are not men
of great affiuence politically in their
respective communities, but they are all
men of strict integrity and possessed of a
high sense of personal honor, qualities
little known and still less esteemed by
Bryanarchistic leaders. The members
of this committee were S. H. Martin,
superintendent of schools at Dewitt,
Nebraska; w. D. Reed, realestate
broker, Omaha, Nebraska j. B. Barnes,
Jr., principal of high school, Norfolk,
Nebraska @. E. Adams, Jr., banker,
Superior, Nebraska and E. @. Elliott,
superintendent of schools, Leadville,
Colorado.
Those who know these men accept
their statement without question. It
proves itself. It
is as follows
"It was decided to try for the heavy
artillery arm of the service because the
officers of the regiment were not only
especially competent as infantry, but in
addition were experienced in light
artillery, both essential qualifications
for heavy artillerymen. This would
indicate to the war department. that
Nebraska could furnish regiment
capable of being used not only as
infantry, but also as heavy artillery. 1t
did not occur to the members of the regi-
ment that they would be discredited as
infantry because they know something
about light artillery any more than a
mathematician would be debarred as a
teacher or elementary mathematics,
because he knew something about higher
mathematics too. Nor could such a
construction be conceivable among men
acquainted with military organization.
"At meeting of the officers of the
regiment, held in the executive chamber
of the state CAPT.
tai, April 30th,
1898, the governor expressed his entire
approval of the merit of the organiza-
tion and it's efficiency from a military
point of view, and stated there remained
only one question to be determined
before making tender of the regiment
to the war department.. He first wished
to satisfy himself that the regiment
represented all sections of the state and
