Defalcations committed by former
Nebraska state treasurers have made
the citizens of this state very nervous
indeed. There is a state tradition.
which in the politics of both parties is
still vital, that if man can manage to
be elected to the office of state treasur-
er for two terms, and if he possess
any financial ability whatever, he can
he rich. The legislature has tried to
protect the income of the state from
the state treasurer. He has a salary
like all the rest of the state officers.
He does not work any harder than they
do. But the tradition is so firmly in
trenChed in history and practice; there
are so many examples of state treas
urers who have loaned the monies en-
trusted to them and pocketed the in
terest. that a new treasurer, no matter
what his prediction promises, is
tempted to do as most of the rest have
safely done so that when he retires
from the office he can do as they have
done. too: build a comfortable home
and live in the capital for the rest of
his days.

In his lecture on Animal Heroes
Mr. Seton says that the popular tradi-

elect the largest and strongest male to
load the herd is not founded on fact.
IN the contrary herds invariably
choose a wise female of mature age to
.aad them and show them how to keep
ont of trouble. The herds, having once
selected a leader, obey her and follow
her without discussion. The photo
graphs that Mr.. Seton exhibited of
wild herds verified his statement. Not
only were these herds led by mature
females. but the cabinet and closest

expression. Animals know that the
females intuitiOns are stronger and
come quicker and that she scents
danger while all the male heads of the
herd are yet deep in the feed of the
pasture The female of all herds is
conservative. Love of offspring in
Spires action and vigilance and herd
of antelope has instinct or sense
enough to use the energy thus develop
ed for the welfare and protection of
the whole herd. The argument that
women should not be allowed to vote
or to have a dynamic opinion about the
affairs of the herds of men because it
is ''agin nater," is somewhat mutilated
by this report of the herds which have
learned that to provide against eXtinc-
ton they must follow the sOundest
advice Obtainable. If women voted.
not for many years would a large re-
suit be apparent. The liquor traffic
would still flourish. There would still
be enough crime to give jobs to
chief of police and squads of police
men, but eventually conditions would
improve. What this community really
needs is the official advice and leader
ship of a mature female. who has
demonstrated her ability to rule her
spirit and invest prOfitably for her

A Cartoonist

one of the most original cartoonists
i'm this country. Mr.. McCutcheon. has
resumed his work on the Chicago Rec
ord Herald. He has strong and invet-
crate mannerisms. among which his
habit of drawing a crowd in the back
ground is noticeable. The line by which
he represents a crowd of people in the
background of his cartoons is Contin-
uouS: il looks somewhat like a sky
line, only the silhouette is of heads,
shoulder and excited hands instead Of
chimnrys, gables and architectural
ornaments. The effect is true back
ground. The individuals composing il
contribute by their unity of emotion
that the cartoOnist intends to- convey. a
cartoon is an amusement, witticism,
a sermon. If il be confused, composed
of many figures each with it's own pur-
pose and business. it takes time to dis
cover the paramount meaning. On the
other hand, if every figure and bit of
property confirm and reiterate the cen
trdl foreground. the man who looks at
it is Immediately impressed and CON
graduates himself on his quickness.
Mr.. MCCutcheOn draws his central fig
ure and then his accessories. Every
element of the picture contributes it's
share to the main assertion and the Ie-
suit is harmony and emphasis.
a recent McCutcheOn cartoon defin-
itely illustrates his method and prin-
Cipies. a former distinguished fellow
tOwnsman, Mr.. Chas. @. Dawes, is now
conducting an energetic campaign IN
Illinois for the United States senator
ship held by Senator Mason. Mr..
Dawes is tall and slender. Mr.. Mason
is stout and shorter. The candidates
are sparTing inside the rOped square
provided for prize fighters. Senator
Mason occupies the center of the ring
and his weight has bent down the
boards of the platform and pried up
the nails which fasten them to the
CrOss-pieces. In Mr.. Dawes corner of
the ring is a slender chair of ordinary
proportions. In Senator Mason's cor
ner there is a heavily timbered stool.
Mr. Dawes is cool while his opponent
is out of breath and sparring for time,
as the prize fight reports say. A third
candidate is approaching to contest the
prize. The crowd in the background is
wildly interested in the mill and at the
same time impartial.

Between us and the ocean on the

miles of land. We have a geographical
right and excuse to be provincial. If
it is insular in the derived sense to
rave puritan preference for decency

Lincoln audience has enough of the
canny, Scotch spirit not to leave
theatre seats that have cost a dollar
and half apiece after the curtain has
fallen at the end of a first act, which
indicates that the characters of the

bad men, leading silly, bad lives. In

Mir. Gage wn Bay Bonds.

Washington. Sept. 1.-The secretary of the treasury has given notice that he will receive and consider proposals for the sale to the government on ac- count of the sinking fund of United States per cent bonds, loan of 1908 IS; per cent bonds, funded loan of 1907; 4 per cent bonds. loan of 1925, and 5 per cent bonds, loan of 1904. to an amount not exceeding S20.oo0. GOO. Commenting upon the offer made in his circular, Secretary Gage said that the active movement of crops had begun throughout the country. and he did not desire that the treasury should absorb millions of dollars that might be in trade channels. The suhtreasuries in the west and south have been calling heavily for currency to move the crops, and the amount sent so far is in excess of any year in the history of the treas ury.

The Leather of the Egyptians.

The ancient Egyptians were skilled In the art of tanning leather and man. ufactured 1t in various ways and for various purposes besides that of fur nishing covering for the feet. Indeed it Is to those builders of the pyramids that we are indebted for the first artis- tic forms of footwear, and so far as can be ascertained from history and the researches of arch@ologists the Egyptians were the first shoemakers who were worthy of the name.
 It is fact, too, that tanners of today employ very much the same methods as did the ancients. About the same materials are used, and the processes are almost precisely similar to those In vogue hundreds of years ago. It is true that tanners of the present day have found means of greatly shorten ing the time required to convert hide into leather and that steam power and modern machinery have done much to expedite and improve the processes of finishing the leather; but, after all. the principles of tanning remain the same as they have been from the first.

Won by His Wit.

A story Is told of an English clergy man who owed his appointment to a rich living to lucky pun. He was tutor to the son of a nobleman and had not long taken orders when he attended the funeral of the rector of the parish in which the nobleman's seat was situated.
 The father of his pupil was patron of the living and was also present at the funeral of the deceased rector. There was young clergyman present also whose grief was so demonstratiye that the noble patron was much affected by the sight and asked if the young man was son of the deceased gentleman.
 ''Oh. dear, no, my lord-no relation at all." said the tutor.
 NO relationp' exclaimed the noble man In surprised tone.
 '.None, my lord; be is the curate, and think he Is not weeping for the dead, but for the living"

believed held a large number of manu-
 scripts and valuable coins, but he had
 delayed the opening of 1t that some of
 his friends might be present. Three or
 four of them were going to his island
 home on the morrow, and he would be
 glad to have as many of us foreigners
 go along as could make 1t convenient.
 The voyage would be made in his
 schooner, and there would be no trou-
 ble about feeding and lodging all who
 chose to go.
 Aside from the English party, there
 were Americans, Germans and French
 men to the number of 20 in Athens, and when the list was made up we numbered over 40, of whom 10 were
 ladies. When we came on board the schooner, there was considerable sur prise at fading her the craft she was She was nothing more than trader, and her accommodations were of the
 most primitive character. MT. Talantt's friends, who were supposed to be emil nent professors, turned out to be a common looking lot and not inclined to be sociable, but we were out for jaunt and might expect few draw backs. We had favorable wind for the voyage, and the professor and oth- CTS felt that 1t would be the event of their lives. As the weather was pleas ant and we had brought lunch from the hotel, our monday meal was sort of picnic. For an hour or two after the meal Professor Hampstead enter tained us with historic lecture, and time passed pleasantly for all hands. My friend could speak Greek, but when he attempted to enter into con- versation with MT. Talanti's friends he found them surly enough. This ex- cited our surprise, as they were sup posed to be gentlemen. When we came to look them over, we began to get little suspicious. Then language and manners did not correspond with their dress, and they did not seem to be at their ease. We also caught one of them exchanging a wink and a grin with one Of the common sailors, and this caused us much worriment. Tn quiet way we reported the fact to ! one of the English party, and he quiet l ly replied:
 Do you know, I've got a suspicion that this is put up job and that we | shall hear something drop as soon as | we land at the island"
 But why should MT. Talanti deceive us ?' we asked.
 In the first place, Is be what he rep | resents himself? Who made any in- I quiries about him? In the next place, I you never saw an aristocrat with such I big hands and feet. His skin is coarse, his language full of slips, and you may
 notice sort of roll to his gait, as if he
 had been at sea for years. believe | the mans an impostor."
 But Professor Hampstead seems to | be perfectly satisfied with him." "That counts for nothing. The pro- lessor may be up on ancient Greece. | but he Is way off on confidence games. | I believe we are in for some sort of 8 skin game, but it's nonsense to worry over it. We have walked into the trap like lot of idiots"
 The island was fairly well covered
 with trees. and yet 1t did not have a A0Gpitaele look. A we made q slossr
