OF surreptitious preparation the passages
OF scripture were to be written upon slips
OF paper, sealed up in envelopes and placed
upon the pulpit Immediately before the
opening Of the service.
THE next Sunday morning the pastor
came bounding in, pride and confidence
cleaning in his eyes, and found a number
OF sealed envelopes lying upon the big
bible. After the preliminary service he
called attention to them and said he would
preach from the text contained in the
envelope that lay on top Of the pile. The
remainder he would reserve for future
sabbaths, Tearing it open, he unfolded a
slip of paper and read the words once ad-

this service he resigned in 1890 to look
after his extensive business interests, be-
ing engaged in farming, insurance, bank

prises. He had taken an active interest
in the politics of Lincoln, and i'm 1893 be-
came a state factor by appearing as a can
didate for the United States sonatorship,
but was defeated by Hon. M. l.. Hayward
who died soon after his election. In 1901
Mr.. Thompson received the republican eau
Gus nomination for the short term and was
within four votes of election. On the last
day OF the session he withdrew In favor Of
Hon. Charles H.. Dietrich, then governor
OF Nebraska, who was elected. Since then
Mr.. Thompson has devoted his time to his
business interests, and has recently added
to them by establishing a daily newspaper
at Lincoln. Personally Mr.. Thompson is an
-Qggressive individual, making fast friend
ships and firm enmities. Many anecdotes

have their part in the play on the links and

Another OF Nebraska's contributions to
the official roster of the American navy
is Milo Dramel Of Fremont, who has
just been appointed a cadet at the Naval
academy at Annapolis. He is a true west
ern boy, who knows what hard work is,
and who has won his way by his own eff
forts. He was born at Fremont eighteen
years ago last May. His father was a
dairyman, and the son helped in carrying on
the business, but was not deprived of ample
schooling, for he was graduated with a high
mark from the Fremont High school. In
the preliminary examination at Norfolk he
stood first among the applicants, and at
Annapolis he passed an almost perfect
physical examination and got a high mark
in his mental examination without taking
the customary preparatory course.
Solomon Yoder of West Point, Neb., is
another of the good old timers. He was
born in Berks county, Pennsylvania, on
April %, 1912, and lived there until 1872,
when he removed to Cunning county, Ne
braska. For twenty-nine years he has been
a daily reader Of The Bee and still consults
1t daily. In politics he has always taken
a great interest and although he has never
sought an office he keeps thoroughly posted
on the doings of the parties. Seventeen
times he has voted for president, and prides
himself on never having voted for a demo-
cratic candidate for president, vice presi-

Quivera's loyal citizens have proclaimed
their love and fcalty most vocifernusly. and
again have taken up their wonted pursuits,
content in the knowledge that the success
sion to the throne continues unbroken, and
that the line of gracious monarchs bids fair
to extend far into the future. At the royal
palace the ceremonials attendant on the
coronation of their most gracious majesties,
King Ak-Sar-Ben VIII and his royal con-

people could bestow on so important an

Golf is now hrn.iy Crtrcn"hed as an Amer
lean game. 1t NAY MT he so much Of a fad
as 1t was two years ago, but even that
feature is in favor of its permanence, for
those who play golf now do so from sheer
love OF the game and not because it is the
thing to do. And that these true lovers OF
the sport are not a few is shown by the
fact that more than 100 men and a score Of
women entered a tournament at the Omaha
Co, try club links recently. Only a few
years ago an enthusiastic young sporting
writer delivered hims,lf of a lengthy dis
sertation on the game, concluding with the
assertion that golf wis destined to sup
plant base ball as the nj 'ional game. While
there is little likelihood of this coming to
pass. there is equally no doubt but golf
will continue to thrive. 1t affords as no
other game does a healthy form of exercise.

The Oak Park girl had just come hom.
