THE REWA OF MERIT.

The plucky people of Galveston, Texas, who refused to be scared out of their city and out of their belief in it's future, are seeing their confidence and their courage justified. The new city is better than the old one, and the levee system, which will cost million and half, will make the city safe against any such wave as overwhelmed it two years ago. But what the people of Gal- weston are feeling particularly good about just now is the fact that on the second of next month the greater part of the ocean business carried on by the Southern Pacific railroad between New York and the Gulf will be transferred from New Orleans to Galveston. Eight of the twelve vessels of the New York and New Orleans line are to make Gal weston their southern port hereafter. These eight are Fl Alba, Fl Siglo, Fl Cid, Fl Norte, Fl Valle, Fl Bio, Fl Dia and Fl Sud. Only four vessels will be left to carry on the business between New York and New Orleans The New Orleans steamers will handle the freight sent south for points east of Houston, but Galveston will be the discharging point for everything destined for prac- tically all of Texas and for Colorado,
 Utah, Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Hawaii China, Japan, the Philippines and Australia.
 What this means to the Texas city is shown by the statement that thirty million dollars in exports year will be

4I BIC CUT.

In these times of prosperity it is not
 common to read of cuts in wages or salaries. And in any times it is not common to read of such a cut as that
 made by Vice Chancellor Reed of New Jersey in the cases of Messrs. Thomas. Podrasnick and Remain, who three years ago elected themselves directors of a reorganized wall paper concern and voted themselves an annual salary of s5,000 giving an additional salary of $5,000 to MT. Thomas as general man. ager. All went we'll for three years, the directors duly drawing their salaries and enjoying prosperity to the full, but at last it occurred to the partner who had furnished the capital that a salary list of $2O,000 a year for three men was a heavy load for firm that was capi- talized at S1O0,0O0, and he appealed to the courts for an accounting. The Vice Chancellor agreed with the com
 plaining partner, and he ordered that the salaries of two of the directors should be reduced from s5,O00 to $2 ,OOO And it was further found that before the reorganization of the concern MT Thomas had been earning a salary of $15 week. and that his duties had not increased since that time. The Vice Chancellor therefore ordered that his salary should be reduced to the former rate, and that he should repay to the concern all that he had received in ex-
 cess of $15 weekly since July 27. 1899 Perhaps there will by and by be other big cuts in the salaries of gentlemen who have organized and reorganized for their own benefit. There are many big concerns that are having all they can do to pay the big salaries that their big men have voted them- selves.

NOT THE USUAL THING.

We read with interest that when Mrs. Freda Ruhman of Evansville, Indiana, told her husband that she did not love him, but loved Alexander Edmondson instead, the husband gave her money to aid her departure with the man of her choice.
 This isn't the usual thing. According to rule, MT. Ruhman should at least have killed his faithless wife, and it wouldn't have been surprising if he had also killed Mir. Edmondson and himself. But by not doing the usual thing he has saved himself much trouble. He has also had the best re- venge he could get if he wanted re- venge. It is not likely he did. He is too sensible for that. He probably wanted peace and he is to be congratulated on the way he took to get it.

NebrasIEu's (rOns.

Many years have passed away Since that most eventful day When this wicked world was fairly set to rights;
 It had been a long time dry. When dark clouds obscured the sky And 1t rained for forty days and forty nights.
 Noan had the only boat Calked up tight enough to float All were in It when it lifted from the mud High above the mountains peaks Noah drifted weeks and weeks Ere he found place to anchor In the flood. Mrs. Noah used to fret She declared the earth too wet, And bemoaned the loss of crops that must enSue;
 Oft she said in tones of pain. II am sick of so much rain, And she wouldn't do thing but sit and stew.
 Noah bade her dry her tears And abandon all her fears, For said she, for this discomfort now endured
 Though the rust may blight the rye And the yield of oats prove shy. NOW another bumper corn crop is assured. " Noah's optimistic voice Made all hands on deck rejoice, For they knew his glad prediction was no joke.
 Though the clouds rolled black as night And the earth was ''out of sight" And the rain still fell in torrents while he spoke.
 We have seen 1t rain again Just as hard as it did then Though perhaps not quite so steady, after all;
 But while ringing out my duds l predict, in spite of floods, We will have bumper corn crop in the fall.

WOMEN IN THE WHEAT FIELDS

WOMEN IN It1E w ttEaI FIELDS.
 A Topeka paper has discovered that
 'women and girls actually went into the harvest fields of Kingman county and toiled side by side with their fa-
 thers, brothers and lovers. In Ellis county for twenty-five years, the wo- men and girls have gone regularly into the harvest fields and tOiled
 by the side of their fathers, brothers and lovers. Indeed in the great Rus sian colony of that country it is com mon for the women to do all sorts of outdoor labor One of the first fields of wheat grown in Ellis county was by Hill P. Wilson in 1875. It meas ured less than ten acres, but it was problem for there was no harvest ing machinery in the region. One morning big Russian came into Will sons store and said he would like tn take the contract to cut and stack the grain Wilson eagerly accepted his proposition, and the Russian de- parted to summon his workmen. The next morning when the town awOke it was greeted with singular sight. for the Russian was sitting on the fence smoking his pipe while about twenty women, under his supervision, were harvesting the grain with sickles. Nothing more primitive could be inn agined The women would grab an arrnful of the grain and then cut it off with sweep of the sickle, after
 wards binding it with wisps of straw.
 And from this almost medieval begin ming Ellis county advanced in twenty five years to the position of third county in the state in wheat yield. The Russians, who came there by hundreds

in 1875 so poor that they scarcely could
 own a horse between them, are now among the richest farmers of the state. owning vast areas of land and grow
 ing enormous quantities of the cereal. Last year Ellis county had 570 bush els of wheat for each man, woman and child within her borders. It is a
 common remark that the industry of the Russians, who work their wives and daughters in the fields will eventually give them the ownership of the entire county, as they already own about one-third of it's tillabIe area.

THE cK,BBTNs ArANDoVER.

Vice Principal Stearns of Phillips Andover Academy has made state ment concerning the "cribbing" at the Princeton examinations there, and the statement is a good defense of the An dover authorities. He shows that they did what they could to have the exam nations what they ought to be, and that the Princeton authorities did busi- ness in a loose way. But he doesn't take any light view of the matter, and he says: "rhe Academy will go to the full extent in punishing those who have been guilty of this rank dishonesty. Cribbing has always been severely dealt with by us, and the present case demands the severest treatment. A most rigid investigation will be made, and those who are found guilty will not be allowed to return to the school
 Perhaps the "cribbers" at Andover are no worse or more numerous than the ''cribbers'' at other celebrated schools. but they have certainly had some good opportunities to practice their art.

The prison CTS taken by the British were S2,oOO. The total of the Boer forces was about 75. .000. These figures are all smaller than the British estimates.

The death has just taken place at Rochester, England, of MT. George Thomas Crook, formerly Inspector of Machinery in the Royal Navy. MT. Crook. who was seventy-two years of age. was known in the service as "the man who sat on the safety-valve," for his plucky action during the Egyptian war of 1882. He then, at the risk of his own life, adopted the heroic expedient indicated in order to raise sufficient steam to lift ashore at Suez, by means of a rickety crane, two locomotives which were urgently required on the Egyptian railroad.

The efforts of teachers to increase the vocabulary, of young pupils by giv- ing them words to use in sentences of their own formation results often in wondrous combinations. An Italian boy in Philadelphia, doing his best to master English, was aided in a pecu- S liar way by an observation of his fath- er's vocabulary. The other day his teacher asked the class to write a sen- tenee to include the word disarrange. The word is in advance of the Italian boys stock of English, and he was sore- ly puzzled, but too proud to confess the fact. Later he handed up a paper on which the following was written in round, boyish characters: When a fodda lighta the fire in the morning he saya, 'Damma- a-dis-a-range.'
