and myself in the interest of winter
wheat ten years ago. He insisted then,
as he insists now, against my private
protest, upon ascribing the victory
in that battle to me. The actual truth
is that Mr.. Smiths magnanimity has
run away with his Judgment Oh this
purely personal phase of the discovery
of winter wheat in Nebraska. Permit
me to state the facts to show how much
our people owe to Manager Holdrege
and Mr.. Arthur B. Smith himself for
this great benefit.
General Manager Holdrege is the
man, influenced by Mr.. Smith and ar
guments made by me, who directed
the undertaking and experiments with
this great staple. The telegraph lines
of the Burlington were instantly
opened by his direction. Mr.. Smith
began and prosecuted the organization
of the work and secured the first ex-
periments with winter wheat. Under
Mr.. Holdrege's quiet. but always
sharp, observation, Mr.. Smiths sue
cess was amply demonstrated by the
results which he now proclaims.
Nothing discouraged, nothing daunted
him. If failure came to him in one
case he found success in another.
With all respect to Manager Holdrege
and without in the least depreciating
my own part in bringing about the
important discovery in the agricultur-
al progress Of our state and country,
Mr.. Arthur B. Smith is entitled to
lasting honor in having assisted with
his own executive ability in making
possible 50,00O,OOO bushels of winter
wheat in our rn-stricken state in
this year Of our common Lord 1901
25, O00,0 900 of 1OO-cent dollars in the
pockets of the farmers of our state in

man n-eating corporation through the
test which they were brave enough
to make in a matter of vital import
ance to more than 1000, 900 people
who are dwelling here today and to
countless generations who are to come
after them. Mr. Holdrege, as my be-
lief is, transported all the seed free
Of cost for experiments.
My strenuous efforts in behalf of this
great staple were based upon four
facts, which were within my knowl-
edge at the time l presented the case
to Manager Holdrege and Mr. Smith.
First, that all winter wheat in our
country is raised south of the northern
Nebraska boundary; secondly, that
Colorado had shipped into Omaha
thirty years ago, by wagon, -four
from wheat of it's own raising,
which was Of superior quality;
thirdly, that this superior wheat
grain in Colorado was due to the gi-
gantic wash from the Rocky noun
tains, which is in our own soil and
which furnishes an excellent pabulum
for wheat grain, and, fourthly, that

CHILDREN AY sED- TIME.
Al Nd Other Hour of the Day Can Par- ents Exert a More Lasting or
 aigEer MoIding Power.

Every parent who has been in the habit of reading or talking to the little ones after they are safely tucked i'll bed will bear witness to the value of this mode of influence. With laying off the clothes, the an gers, worries and discontents of the day subside. With the brief season of prayer they fly still farther into the background And when the lit tie form rests in it's bed they seem to vanish out of sight, The body IS at rest. The heart is plastic to the touch of loving father or mother.
 Now is the time to exert q mold ing power. At this hour the little ones listen with hushed attention to what is read to them. Hymns, the Scriptures, Bible stories, are heard with close attention, until the read er's voice is stilled or the hearers sink into gentle sleep; or conversa- tion may take the place of reading. The will that was in a state of re- sistance an hour ago is now relaxed. The anger that blinded moral dis cernment has passed away. With open heart the child utters its con fessions and gladly receives the for giving kiss.
 Plans for the morrow can be dis cussed, and duty can be made to put on an attractive form. Irritations can be looked at quietly, and admoni- tions to watchfulness may be dropped with soothing efficacy into the listen ing ear. And then how delightful the embrace with which the young arms clasp your neck; the intense ''dear mother'' with which the "good night is said. Parents, if you have not thus parted from your birdlings at the evening hour, you have something yet to learn of loves delights.-Les- lies Weekly.

Housework ana the Hands.

When engaged in sweeping and dust ing and similar household tasks the hands should be protected with loose gloves. If rubber gloves are not used in dishwa shing, a dishmop should be used, to prevent the hands from being so frequently immersed in hot soapy water. After doing rough, coarse work which has begrined the hands, before attempting to wash them rub in the pores a little yaseline or oil to loosen the dirt, then wash them in hot water and pure soap, using hand scrubbing brush. Lather them well and remove every particle of grime from about the nails. Turn out the soapy water and rinse them in tepid water and lastly in cold, so that they will not be made too tender. Hard water is very harsh and trying to the skin of face or hands, and boiled, dis titled or soft rain water should be used when obtainable.-Ch Chicago Daily News.

To make cream of peanut soup put half a pint of peanut butter into a quart of milk; add half a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper, a tablespoon ful of grated onion, bay leaf, a salt spoonful of celery seed, or a little chopped celery tops. Cook this in a double boiler for ten minutes. Moisten one tablespoonful of cornstarch in a little cold milk, add it to the hot milk, and stir until smooth and thick. Strain through fine sieve and serve with squares of toasted whole wheat bread. Nuts are sufficiently oily with put adding butter.

ty handmade collars, berthas, stocks, etc, far exceeds the supply. Machine. made neckwear the well-dressed wom- an refuses to accept at any price, To her notion there is a. set and. a sameness about it that fails utterly to please; she has entirely forsworn the masculine linen shirt collar, and, however simple and tailorish her cos tune may be, her throat must be dressed with care, taste and origi- na1ity. Therefore, whatever she ties about her neck must be handmade, for this more or less shuts out the possibility of wholesale imitation ot any particularly nice designs.
 One woman who took advantage of this sentiment prevailing among her sex earned tidy $500 last summer by making every variety of little silk, lawn, linen and lace turn over for fall stocks, and this year she has gone into the lucrative business of making smart tulle collars, roped with imitation pearls, for wear with decollete evening gowns. She also makes irresistible kerchiefs and berthas of lace and chiffon, and sells them readily to women who wish to freshen up their old evening waists at little expense and less trouble. She has improved on the transparent lace stock for this season by welding pieces of tea-tinted lace together, to form sort of dog collar, and weav- ing through openings in the fretted band of gold or panne ribbon that ties in broad-winged bow at the back of the neck.
 This woman and her sister n1anu- lecturers haunt the remnant coun- ters and pick up invaluable odds and ends for little or nothing; odds and ends, however, that in the true artis- tis fingers can be converted into the most delightful ornaments \ for a shirt-waist, a reception toilet, or a ball gown as the need may be; and one of these collar-mal1ers who keeps herself au courant with the fashions. is preparing big stock of flat col lars. Such collars,4a little later on, with country muslins that have bell mouthed sleeves, the women will adopt, pinning thes flat lace boleros for the neck with the quaint cameo brooches that their mothers wore a half century ago.St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Fancy the time and patience required for drilling children for such press entation. Not fewer than five re- hearsals were needed to make this un- dertalking a success.
 The children were we'll drilled and the affair would doubtless have passed of precisely as planned had not cer- ttain big-hearted member of the clubs committee, who is the western passen- ger agent for large railway company, allowed himself to be influenced by the remembrance of his own youthful longings for unrestricted fun in which everybody takes part. His interest in the children's part of the coming en- tertainment was greater, perhaps, Hhan he cared to own. He wanted the boys and girls to have aIgood time if there was any such thing. and, being a practical sort of man, he determined to provide little innovation out of his own head.
 One morning, therefore. he stopped fhe crg of a toy balloon yender, and before that astonished individual could collect his senses had given him an or der for 200 balloonsI At Ia propitious moment these bobbing bright-colored affairs were suddenly presented to the young guests at the party, and the youngsters cup of happiness, for that evening. at least, was full and running over.
