SHERIFF W GETS HOME
Pleasant Trip to Coast Enjoyed to
h Utmost by the
Omcer.

Sheriff John Power has returned from his
two weeks stay in California, where he
saw everything from the Golden Gate and
the Sutro baths to the sunset OF Robert
Fitzsimmons, the mutilation Of James JEFF
fries face and the somber interior Of the
state pe%nitentiary. He rambled about the
shipyards, too, having secured a special
courtesy through his former partner in the
cooperage business, who now has a contract
for that line Of work for the new ships that
are being built in the yards there. The
sheriff declares that the prize fight was no
fake and adds that no one OF the thousands
who sat at the ringside seemed to consider
1t 30 or to regret the $50. SIS, $40 or s. that
had been invested in a seat. There wasn't
a hiss. he says, and only EXPLANATIONS at
the wonderful showing Fitzsimmons made.
Sheriff Power brought back with him Leo
F. Jordan. aged 22. who was married to
Florence Smith. aged IS, in the county Jail

To See the Five Bicketts and Enjoy
n Refreshing Bath.

u AGtEeHhAhB hAth
CORTLAND beach is having good sized
attendances every afternoon and evening
this week and the beach is apparently
more popular than ever. The increase in
the number Of women bathers is very con-
spicuous, these warm afternoons and
evenings. The performances of the Beckett
family, given every afternoon and even
ing, are very highly spoken Of by every
one who has visited the beach this week.
The three young women do some marvellous
work and their high dives thrill the audi
ence. Beckett and his wife are always
received with applause at every turn. The
entire performance Is one OF the neatest
and most artistic ever seen. After the
trapeze and other aerial features the
five Bicketts give a novelty ladder act
which is also very artistic and pleasing.
The colored quartet continues to receive
storms of applause and the daily balloon
ascension and parachute jumps are as
sensational as ever. Sam Murphy, the
aeronaut, promises something entirely
new in the near future In connection with
his ascension. The railway mail clerks,
with headquarters in Council Bluffs, Lin
coin and Omaha, hold their annual picnic
Saturday at CORTLAND.

NOT LIKE ANOTHER HELEN
Miss Nellie BOwIes Denies Being the
Cause of the War Mt
users Park.

Miss Nellie Bowles denies that she was
the Helen over whom the Trojans from
South Omaha and the Greeks from Omaha
fought at Ruser's park last Sunday. She
further and specifically denies personally
taking any part in the sanguinary conflict
in which ~penknives. beer bottles and brass
knuckles supplanted natures weapons. In
stead OF being active in the melee she says
she was far away at the other end Of the
dancing platform. She also denies en-
phatically that she was with the Ford boys
at the picnic. AS to the origin Of the row
she processes entire ignorance, venturing
the tentative opinion that the rough and
tumble affair had its genesis merely in the
desire Of the young men who took part to
see somethin' doin'.

Life's opening voyage, Lord. Thou didst
safely keep
D'er childhood's sheltered bays;
As now the tides of age around me creep.
Protect my shortening days
Thou didst defend my youth when sped my
Out toward the open sea:
as approach the shore, unknown and

Still guard and care for me-.
Becalmed by idle winds on placid seas.
Thy vigil did not cease,
Now tempests beat, and when shrink
- from these,
Impart uplifting peace.
When Joy. bfight-winged, poised lightly on
Thou gently dfdst restrain;
Though Sorrow often voyages with me
My troubled soul sustain.
When many ships were nigh and skies were
bright,
knew Thy presence sweet;
As one by one they vanish in the night.
Draw near me, entreat.
Lord. Thou hast been companion. friend
and guide

minute on account OF some society
doings. But by this time Carl had
dragged Barbara out past Mrs. Ward
-"allow me to introduce Miss Clark,
who is" Barbara looked at her quiet
ly, and she continued, "who is working
for US at present.
Mr.. Morton bowed and shook hands
with Barbara, saying as he did so:
I'm very glad to meet you. Miss
Clark"
And Barbara, listening and looking
with sensitiveness to detect a spirit
either of patronizing or of inditfer-
ence, could not detect either. He
spoke and looked as any gentleman
might have spoken and looked at any
young woman who was his equal in
society.
won't you come home to dinner
with US, Morton?" said Mrs. Ward,
heartily.
I'm stopping at the hotel; I think
[ had better not come to-day"
'Well, when do you go back to
Carlton?"
Tomorrow at two"
row noon"
said, and he bowed pleasantly to them
all as he passed over to the other end
of the vestibule to speak to some one
else.
s'Mr. Morton was a senior in college
when Alfred entered" Mrs. Ward ex-
planned to Barbara. as they walked
out of the church. HE had an oppor-
tunity to do Alfred great kindness.
and our boy never forget it. He used
to come home with him quite often
during the last term Mr.. Morton was
at college before he entered the SEM
mary"
He's very promising young man"
said Mr.. Ward, positively. 81 like his
preaching. It's sensible and straight"
And interesting, too" Mrs Ward
added, her heart warming to the young
man who had befriended her SON. Just

said: sI don't know whether her go-
ing with us to-day did more harm or
good"
cit did the girl good. I am sure"
said Mr.. Ward.
go, well, hope it did. But I'd give
good deal to know what Mrs. Rice
and Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Burns
thought about it. They knew Barbara,
for they have seen her here several
times at our club committee meet
ings."
'.You don't suppose they would
talk about it, do you?" asked Mr..
Ward, sarcastically.
''They were talking about it all the
way home, or I'm very much mis-
taken"
"What an inspiring thing it would
be to a minister if he could only
hear the converse ton of his congre-
cation for half an hour after church
service is over" said Mr. Ward, half
to himself and half to his wife.
whatever else he got out of it, he
ought to get material for another
sermon at least
"For more than one." added Mrs
Ward, YEARLY. And then Barbara
called them and they sat down to
lunch.
But just what Mrs. Wards three
friends did say is of interest, because
it is a fair sample of what other
people of Marble Square church said
on the way home, and the young
preacher might possibly have thought
that there is still distinct place left
for preaching in churches, if he could
have heard what those three women
had to say about Barbara.
They came out of the church and
walked along together.
"It was a good sermon" Mrs Rice
began. Mrs. Rice was plump, moth
erly-looking woman. and a great
worker in the church and clubs of
Crawford.
"Mr. Morton is young man. He
has a good deal to learn" said Mrs.
Wilson positively.
'.Dr. Law exchanges a good deal
too much, I think" was Mrs. Burns
comment. "This is the third exchange
since-since-last March"

BOOKER wAsH1NGToN's STORY
An AnecdOte That Went to the Hearts
Of His Southern White
Auditors.

OF the many anecdotes told the fol-
owing shows Booker 7. Washington's
readiness in assimilating what he
nears and in putting it to effective use,
says the Outlook.
Once on board a train in Virginia
the talk touched in some way which I
nave forgotten now the subject Of the
oldtime southern servants. A man
whose dress showed him to be cler
gyman, and who I afterward learned
was the rector of one of the Oldest and
most distinguished Episcopal churches
IN the state, said that he had taken
charge of the parish where he was then
located during the year previous and
had moved into the rectory which went
with the church. His predecessor had
lied in office, after long pastorate.
When the new family came to the rec
tory to live they found there an old
,olored man who had been employed
about the grounds for many years, and
hired him to remain with them and
continue at his work.
Zone day last summer" the rector
said, ''my wife decided that she would
like q; certain shrub in the garden bet
ter if it stood in another place, and the
next morning told John to dig it up and
move it. Along in the middle of the day
she was out in the garden, and, seeing
that the shrub had not been transplant
ed, said: John, don't forget to move
that bush there as told you
Eyes. marm,' said John.
THAT afternoon my wife was away
from home. When she returned, late
in the day, she saw that the Plant had
not been disturbed. Annoyed at the
mans disregard of her wishes, she
called him to her and spoke to him
rather sharply:
Didn't I tell you twice to move
that shrub over there to the other side
of the garden?'
Yes, marin, you certainly did,
And you told me you would"
eyes, marin, surely did
What do you mean, then, by dis
tinctly disobeying me?'
MY wife said the old man laid down
the hoe he had been using, and, coming
up in front of her, took off his hat and
stopped a minute before he answered,
as if he was struggling between his
sense of duty to her and his own feel
ings. When he finally looked up, she
was astonished to see that the tears
were streaming down his face.
"'I hope you'll 'scuse me, marm.' he
said, 4 surely hope you will; but ]

"'Can't move that bush! Why? It
was not large one

clasped his hands together. oh,
marm,' he said, my old missis, what's
dead now, planted that bush right
there. I can't dig it up"
The bush was not moved.
