NEBRASKA
THE LAND
OF PLENTY

I wonder why it is that so many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their
own homes, when within a few
hours journey is land of plenty
-Nebraska-where all kinds of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churches and
schools abound; where land is
cheap and can be bought on very
easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want
information about the country send
to me for "The Corn Belt"
beautifully illustrated monthly
paper that tells all about Nebraska,
and also for "The West Nebraska
Grazing Country" an interesting
illustrated booklet containing a
large sectional map of Nebraska
On the first and third Tuesdays
of each month during the balance
of this year cheap excursion
tickets will be sold over our road
to Nebraska, so that people may go
and see for themselves. Ask your
ticket agent about this.

A Chinaman of great dignity and some
splendor of dress was getting off an ele-
waited train at Twenty-third street the other
day when white rowdy called after him:

The other tough added some abuse and
roared with laughter, after the Chinaman,
who got off the car, then turned. He waited
till the gates were closed, then he answered
in pretty clear English:

Then the gateman and some passengers
laughed, and the toughs skunk into the car.

So the little family stayed many weeks. Papa Bailey coming down ev- cry night And so dear did they be- come to Nan that 1T was only with feel 1 ings of sadness that she thought of ther leaving.
 It was the last Sa turday of vacation. Nan had taken Baby May into the ham, mock in the orchard and had sung her to sleep in her arms. You little dar- ling, wish might keep you always" she whispered, as she gazed down into the sweet, rosy little face.
 Looking up she saw bending over the hammock baby's papa. ''I wish l dared to say the same thing to you, Man," whispered he, as he looked into Mans blushing face. 'I have wished so many times this summer that might always have you near. Won't you give up your large school and take a smaller one? We will be good pupils"
 'I am not used to mixed grades, said Nan, mischievously, "but will try 1t if you wish it very much. But must tell you little story first. Per haps you won't care for such teacher then" So Nan told him of her weari- ness at the close of school, and the mar row escape he had from being summar- fly dismissed when he applied for board for his babies.
 He understood perfectly, and with a loving kiss to both occupants of the hammock he slipped a ring on Mans finger. In the early fell Nan became Mrs. Bailey, and happiness reigned in the Bailey kindergarten.

Sorry He Said 1t.

There are so many things in this wicked world we would rather not have said. Mean things, spiteful things, un- feeling things, reckless things which trickle over the lips before we realize 1t. An estimable man in town has a wife who is a good woman, though she can never be a candidate at beauty show. He admires her, however, and as he is the one to be pleased her lack of loveliness is a small matter. One day he was talking with some friends about hIs disposition.
 "No," said he candidly. you rarely see me get worked up, nervous and cross. I am the easiest person in the world to please"
 "One glance at your wife shows that" replied a dear friend, who is the soul of politeness, and who, poor wretch, really meant to imply she did not have the looks of a nagged or brow-beaten woman, and must get on easily with him. But, oh, it didn't sound that way, and that man would gladly have given $10 down for hole in the ground just about that time.-Louisville Times.

Counting the People by Machinery.

Our first census, made in 1795, showed the population of the United States to be five million, and the count cost Uncle Sam, who was comparatively poor then, one cent for each person. It Is esti- mated that the twelfth census, to be made in June, 1900, will show that our people number seventy-five million, and that the item of clerk hire, in the Gen. sus Bureau alone, will exceed $5,OO0,- 900. Clifford Howard, writing of How the Next Census Will Be Taken" in the Ladies' Home Journal, says that although the work of enumeration will be completed by the first of July, 1t will probably be two or even three months later before the last of the schedules are received at the census office; for not only must they all be first examined by the supervisors, but in many cases they will probably require revision because of some error or informality. The act ual counting of the people will not be done until the schedules are turned into the census office. The enumerators simply gather the facts, and the office force in Washington does the counting and the compiling, which Is done by electricity. In 100 days all the facts re- latIng to 75,000,0O people will be tabu- latpdn
