The MASHER.

One Of the few good things worth
reprinting appeared in the December
Broadway Magazine. We reproduce
portion, in hopes that it may serve
as note of warning to some carless
parents.
.'Some weeks ago the entire country
was startled by the horrible work Of
four fiends in Patterson, N. J. Not 9
father or husband or brother or sweet
heart who read the sickening details
did not involuntarily think Of a lynch
ing bee. There was not an American
mother in this great land Of ours who
did not recoil in horror and make up
her mind that no daughter of hers
would ever be placed in the awful po-
sition in which poor weak Jennie Boss
chieter found herself on that dark,
terrible night.
But will the mothers of America re-
member the lesson? Will they take
into their own hands, and at once, the
only remedy at their command? Will
they see that their daughters are taken
from out the reach of the great Ameri.
can masher? There is the whole thing
in nutshell. 1t is the masher who
waylays little school girls, and ogles
their elder sisters, and who insults
honest working girls and made posi-
BILE the commission Of that Patterson
orgy Of crime against American WON
anhood."
We also have this skulking carcass
on Nicollet avenue. and it seems toe
bad that the police do not have more
opportunity to take . hand In the
game.-Kinneapolis Star.
The same might be said Of that ami.
NAL right here in Watertown. He car
be seen standing around the street cor.
ners making first class asa of himself
and if some girls big brother would
only kick him around the block, what
. glorious sight it would be.-Water

staaton County, Nebraska.

Stanton county, Nebraska, lies i'm.
mediately west of Cunning county, of
which we recently wrote. 1t, like
Cunning county, is farming district in
the Elkhon valley. and directly on the
Lire Of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis-
soaEi Valley r. R About fifty five per
cent of tho land is under cultivation.
The price for this cultivated land 10
81 to 30 per acre-some probably
higher. and some lower. The unim-
proved land ranges in price from
$3.50 to $a0. 90 per acre, and is worth
every dollar Of it.
Corn averages about thirty five BUSH
els per acre. Wheat about fifteen
bushels per acre. The actual number
Of cattle in the county cannot be stated,
but it is about 30. 600 to 81. 600 head, and
there are quite as many, or more, head
of hogs. The price of cattle ranges
from a to s per cwt. Hogs. about
At for good stock. Corn is worth 30
cents per bushel.
This information enables us to see
whether farming pays in Nebraska.
With IS bushels of corn at 80 cents per
bushel, we have about $40 income per
acre, and as one team of horses and one
man can care for forty acres, it shows
pretty good returns.
There is not any more beautiful To-
cations in the state, or in any state than
this. The Elkhorn river and several
other running streams of water, are
found in different parts of the county.
There are now a few excellent farms
for sale at reasonable prices, and on
easy terms. These probably are owned
by persons who desire to exchange
regular farming for stock-raising. and
want to go farther west, where they
can get more land at very low prices.
Stanton county farms are near to
local markets, and only one hundred
miles from Omaha
Many sugar beets are raised in this
county, and shipped to The Norfolk
Beet Sugar factory. This is very
profitable crop.

Having thoroughly tested, by person
al use, both myself and family, of DR..

recommending the use thereof to all

Beware Of "They Say"

The French gentlemen have always
been very happy in the coming of
phrases and the manufacture of pro.
verbs. La Rochefoucauld and many
others have done much to supply the
world with peptonized wisdom.
OF all the wise French sayings none
is more valuable or praiseworthy than
this:
"Mehez vous des 'on dit.
Which means Beware of THEY
say"
Under ''they say" hides every form
of slander.
Under ''they say" hides the cowar.
dice that dares not attack openly
Don't get the "they say" habit. Do
not encourage that habit
Tell children and young men and
all women under your influence not to
listen willingly to"they say and not to
repeat the lies which have ''they say"
for foundation.
The United States appears to be the
favorite home of They Say. .
Eyes, he gets a big salary, but THEY
SAY he has pull with the boss
That is "THEY SAY" trying to de.
tract from honest ability.
| Yes, his married life seems happy,
but THEY SAY he treats her cruelty" ;"
There you have THEY SAY" at
tacking decency from jealousy.
'sTHEY SAY" is busy in almost
every house and on almost every
tongue in this country It is the most
active of slanderous agents on earth.
When you hear a man preface a
slanderous statement with "THEY
SAY," ask him these questions:
Who IS they?
WHO says the particular thing
which you now put into circulation?
What do you know about that par
ticular piece of slander that you are
spreading abroad with 80 much enjoy
ment?
Do you think you are to be excused
for your malicious gossip merely be.
cause you drag in "they say?
/ AK yourself those same questions,
1when you begin one Of the easy they
lsay" attacks on character.
a few such questions put to yourself
and others would soon discourage the
habit in your neighborhood.
Think it over. Remember that this
world needs charity at least as much az
dry earth needs rain.
THEY SAY" is the meanest and
therefore the most despicable Of all
attacks on decent human charity. See
LIE you cannot do something to dis.
