Resigned.

Councilman j. G. Gallagher at
the meeting of the city council
Monday night rendered his resig-
nation as a member of that body.
This action was brought about
by Mr.. Gallagher moving out of
the 4th ward into his new resi-
dence in the 3rd. No member of
the council will be missed as
much as he will be from the
meetings of that body. He has
served as a member of the city
council continuously since the
first council was elected, and is
the only member that enjoyed
that distinction. His services to
the city shows that he always had
her best interest at heart. He
always voted as his conscience
dictated and was as honest and
witty as it is possible for an
Irishman to be. Mr.. Gallagher
now retires to private life enjoy
ing the confidence and esteem of
all honest people of our city,
which position he will fill until
the good people of Anadarko will
say unto him you have been
faithful over a few,people, we will
make you ruler over many

Christmas Wedding.

THOMPSON MYERS: One of the
neatest social events of the sea-
son occurred at the home of w. H.
Myers and wife on Bluff street,
this, (Christmas) morning.
Promptly at nine O'Clock as Mrs.
D. E. Anderson played the we'd
ding mach, James Thompson and
Birdie Myers took their place in
the arch under the bay window
and Rev. G. A, Powers, in his
pleasant way spoke the words
that bound these two popular
young people in Holy Matrimony.
After congratulation numbers
were passed around and each
party requested to find the table
of the same number, which mixed
the guests up in a very pleasant
way. A nice wedding breakfast
was served. About sixty invited
guests were present and large
number went to the train to bid
them adieu as they departed for
their future home at Anadarko,
Oklahoma. AS they boarded the
train heavy shower of rice de-
cended upon them and the many
short blasts of the engineers
whistle announced happy coup
lie aboard.
James was principal of the
Burwell schools about eight years
ago and was a general favorite
among Burwell citizens and is at
present sheriff of Caddo County
Oklahoma. Birdie is the daugh-
ter of w. H. Myers and wife and
has been one of the popular and
respected teachers of the Burwell
schools for the past four years
and many were the tears shed by
her pupils when it became known
she was to leave them. The Mas
cot joins with host of friends in
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson
a long, happy, and prosperous
life.-Burwell Nebraska Mascot

ulations to our Jim" and his

INCENTIVE TO EFFORT.
The Lesson LIncOIn's Life Teaches to
the Idle Born.


| the Idle Born.
| It is human nature to take it easy
when we can, and with most people Il
big bank account will paralyze effort
pnd destroy ambition. Who can tell
what would have been the effect on
our national history had Abraham Lin
coin been born in luxury, surrounded
with great libraries, free to the multi
form advantages of schools, colleges
and universities, the manifold Cppor-
tunities for culture that wealth be-
slows? Who shall say whether the alb
sence of all incentive to effort might
not have smothered such genius?
What wealthy. city bred youth of to-
day, glutted with opportunities for &C
quiring knowledge, can feel that hun
ger for books, that thirst for knowledge
that spurred Lincoln to scour the will
derness for many miles to borrow the
coveted Life of Washington" which
he had heard that some one in the
neighbOrhood owned?
What young lawyer of our day goes
20 law school or library with such Il
keen appetite, with such yearning for
legal knowledge, as this youth haG
miles to borrow Blackstone's "Commen-
taries?"
Where is the student in college or
university today who experiences that
satisfaction, that sense of conquest,
which thrilled Lincoln while lying on
the floor of his log cabin working out
arithmetical problems ON Il wooden
shovel by the light of Il wood fire or
enthusiastically devouring the contents
of Il borrowed book, as if his eyes
would never rest on its pages again?
On reading Lincolns Gettysburg
speech and his second inaugural adj
dress foreign readers exclaimed,
whence got this man his style, seeing
he knows nothing of literature?" Well
might they eNclaim, but their aston
ishment would have been still greater
had they known that those eloquent
utterances that thrilled the nations
heart had fallen from the lips of one
who in his youth had access to but
four books-the Bible, Pilgrims Prog
rcss," Weems' Life of Washington
and Burns poems.-SuccesS.

~ HAVE known Farmer Joe White
and his family for the last two
- years, and 1 have known that
Arabella, the only daughter, has
poetic aspirations. On several occa-
sions she has volunteered to read me
choice selections from her pen. but 1
managed to dodge her until the other
day. Then her father waited for me
at the gate and said:
Look here. Abe. Are you friend
of this familyT'
81 surely am replied.
"Then 1 want you to spare time to
come in and hear my gals last poem.
It's about that volcano down in Mar
Unique, and it's a hummer. She is go
in to send it away to Il New York
magazine tomorrer, and we want your
opinion of it before it goes"
81 don't believe l could spare time to-
day"
Then you are not the man 1 took
you to be-"
1t was either to make the family
mad or to go in and listen to the poetry,
and so went in. 1 found Arabella in
a fiutter She had spent four months
writing and revising what she called
1.-The Wrath of Nature" and, being
about to send it to a publisher at last,
she felt very nervous. Her father took
off his coat and sat down to hear tho
reading. The mother suspended the
task of washing up the dinner dishes
and washedher face with soft soap be-
fore she fell into the rocking chair and
assumed pose.
"Abe, will you be honest in your
criticisms?" asks Arabella as she
makes ready.
81 WILL says.
IF it isn't up to Longfellow. will you
say 500"
"Of course"
"Who was Longfellow?' bluntly
asks Farmer Joe as he takes a big bite
out of the side of an apple.
ITS bound to be equal to any poetry
ever written by anybody" eXclaims the
mother as she rocks to and fro. Let
me tell you, Abe. that Il piano man. Il
SEWN machine agent, n windmill man
and an artist have listened TO parts of
this poem, and every one of 'em praised
it to the skies. The artist said there
was nothin' in Shakespeare to ap-
proach it,
''And who's shakespeare" asks
Farmer Joe as he takes his second bite.
HE wrote verses" explains the wife.

LAY UP YOUR TREASURES,
No Man should Spend the Whole OF
His Income.


His Income.
Is any one too poor to save: is an i'm
portant problem which the readers of
London daily are at present attempt
ing To solve. The question is not by
any means new one. 1t is one which
has troubled past generations, just as,
in all probability, it will affect the gen
eratiOnS yet To come. We cannot say
that this latest discussion of the sub
ject is throwing much, if any, fresh
light upon it.
In the first place. there is a diversity
of opinion regarding the term poor"
One man, who derives an income of
S1.35O a year from private property,
fancies he comes under the category,
while another does not consider any
one poor who has an income of $500 Il
year. says Il writer in Leslie's Weekly.
i is manifestly impossible to fix any
limit in a matter like this. Very much
depends upon the locality and the con-
ditions and surroundings of the indi-
vidual. An income that would be
amply sufficient to insure Il family a
comfortable home, excellent social ad-
vantages and good living in n coun-
try village would mean many priva-
tions and sore discomforts in any large
city.
On the whole. however, we are in
clined to believe that Max O'Rells
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have seen.
Il do not care" he says, how small
the income of a man is, he should never
spend the whole of it, especially if he
has n wife and children. He should
at least save enough to pay every year
the premium on good life policy. No
man is worthy of the name who does
not do this, at least. at the price of
whatever privations he has to submit
to. Some pleasure may be derived
from high living. but certainly no hap
pineSS"
