MICKEY SELECTS HIS AIDES
A. B. Allen, a TeCumseh Newspaper Man,
to Be His Private Secretary.
SON OF THE GOVERNOR IS CHIEF CLERK
Attorney General Prout Files Brief
I'm support of COnstitutiOnaIity
of the OIeOmarEarine
Law.
tFrom a STAR correspondent.l

LINCOLN, Nov. 26.-(Special. )-Governor
Mickey's private secretary will not be his
son. It is stated that Mr.. Mickey had de-
cided upon this appointment some weeks
ago. but so much criticism was showered
upon him and the charge of nepotism re-
peated at every turn that the republican
committee took the matter up and used
fits influence to secure a change OF heart
and mind.
Late last night, after a long conference
with ~oficials Of the committee, MI. Mickey
was induced to recant. He would agree
TO do SO in part only, and insisted that his
son should be a member of his executive
stan. As finally announced the appoint
ments are:
A. B. Allen of Tecumseh, private secre-
tary.
e. F. Mickey OF SprIngview, chief clerk.
C.. C."Husted of Syracuse, recorder.
Miss Grace Walker OF P~lattsmouth, stem
ographer. -
Mr.. Allen is the present secretary Of the
state committee, and Miss Walker has been
his stenographer. Mr.. Mickey is a son OF
the governor and Mr.. Hustled is the present
chief clerk. Both Allen and Hustled are
newspaper men. the former being at pres
ent one Of the proprietors of the Tecumseh

Of the governor.
The reason urged by the governor for
naming his son as his private secretary
was that he wanted as his confidential man
someone whom he knew and could there
fore the more thoroughly rely upon. It is
understood that while Mr.. Allen will have
the title of private secretary. he will per-
form only a portion OF the duties of the
Office. the chief clerk acting in purely
advisory and more confidential matters
The arrangement will probably be similar
TO that under Governor Savage, whose real
private secretary most Of the time has been
his recorder, J. c. F. McKesson, although
at times the governor has wavered between
McKesson and Clancy. sometimes taking
into his innermost confidence, first one and
then the other.

Keep the Farm Neat.

May l not put in plea for neat
ness on the farm? What do mean by
this? I will tell you. Some things
may be proved oy contrasts. The
other day 1 passed farm where the
house and barn stood on opposite
sides of the road. The house had a
careless look,as if the occupants were
very busy people, and had little time
to spend on personal appearance,
either of themselves or their home.
But the barn was the worst place to
see. The door stood open, and I
could see everything around all over
the floor and sides of the building.
And about the yard outside-why, it
was simply dreadful. Turned up by
the side of the fence were mower, a
reaper, two or three bob-sleds, har-
row, an old wagon, a hay-rigging, and
no end of plank boards tossed around
as if there had been cyclone in the
neighborhood. 1t was enough to make
one really sick to look at it.
Less than half mile away was an
other farm, presenting decided con-
trast. Here the house and barn had
trim look. Things seemed to be all
in place, and there were no sleds, old
wagons or farm machinery out Of
doors rotting down. This was neat
farm. Who would not like to have
his own place like it? We all may.
This I plead for.-F. L. Vincent, in
Farm and Fireside.

Does Farmi ng PayP

The question as to whether farm
ing pays is not fundamental. It is
merely incidental. A necessary occu-
patton must pay. To often it is an
swered in the negative by the mere
citing of cases in which farming is
unremunerative. The abandoned
farms of New England may not pay,
else they might not have been aban-
doned. Yet even here there may be
fallacy. Perhaps the farm that has
ceased to be profitable under the old
system of farming may be made to
pay under new system. Strictly
speaking, there are probably no aban-
doned farms in New England. There
may be change in ownership and in
methods, but the lands still yield
crop for somebody. They have not
reverted to the public domain. The
management of land is undergoing
a radical change. This change may
result in hardships to the individual
who will not accept the new order,
but it works to the betterment of
the farm, and consequently Of the
community. Farming pays, even
though farmer here and there may
fail.-F. H. Sweet, in Epitomist.

Funny story Related by Him In Re-

William Dean Howehs has no consider
able reputation as teller Of humorous
stories, but once in q while an excellent
yarn is attributed to him. 1t was provoked
by the action of young author who had
been a protege of HowelPs and who when
he arrived" never lost an opportunity to
say something nice of Howells. On one
occasion. the younger author made an ad-
dress before body of literary men in
which he virtually asserted. that, every
thing good and great in native literature
owed It's inspiration to Howells. The ad-
dress was printed far and wide and COM
mented on at length, not always in man
ner complimentary to las author: Mr..
Howells' attention was naturally called to
the matter and he wrote his protese let
ter in which he involved story of two
men who, bathing at the seashore, were
seen struggling and heard crying for help.
A crowd gathered to watch the efforts Of the
life guards, who could hear above the roar
of the ocean and the noise made by the
crowd voice believing: "save the red
haired man! Save him first! The red
haired man, sure!" Both men were saved
and the guards, going after the excitable
fellow on the beach in the hope at graft
uity, asked: ..Red-head chap relation o
yours, sir?' "No-no relative at ALL" he
replied, "but he owes me $l9.'

Some army officers who were in Cuba

Of the commander Of that expedition. The

had landed and were awaiting the order to
advance on Santiago. Staff officers, were
busy carrying out the details for the ad.
vance and everywhere there was hurry and
hustle. Shatter was lying in a hammock
in trent of his headquarters at Siboney,
while 100 yards down the road the men Of
the signal corps were initiating the war bal
loon preparatory to making the first as.
cension. Without warning the ropes which
held it captive parted and the balloon, halt.
inflated and looking for all the world like
the body and legs of gigantic fat man,
started down the road toward Santiago.
There was just enough gas in it to keep it
upright without entirely clearing the ground
and it went bobbing along, up and down,
as though it were walking. A negro soldier
passing along at that moment saw the bal
loon and shouted at the top of his voice:
eli, dar! Guess dat mus be de ole man
