MISTOOk HIS MAN.
4 Cautious American Tourist and His
Travelling Companion.

Travelling Companion.
A cautious American travelling from
Paris to Nice some years ago found
stranger in the compartment in which
he had secured a berul
care you Mr.. -" said the stran-
ger.
The American In surprise answered
affirmatively.
"Ha." said the stranger. Il inquired
at the booking office who was to be
my travelling companion"
The American realized that this was
no ordinary man and soon found him
self almost hypnotized by the stran-
gers commanding eye.
When the man proposed cards, the
American suspected that he was pro-
fessional gambler. He made many ex.
cuses, finally saying that he cared for
none of the games which his compan-
Ion suggested.
"All right" was the discomforting
reply; "weH plaV anything you like"
When the American mentioned an
obscure French game, which he hoped
the other would not know, and found
his suggestion taken up eagerly, he
was more than ever suspicious.
But" asked the American. do you
know how to play it?"
NO" was the reply. "but you can
teach me-"
The American now had little doubt
that the man was card expert. look
Ing for victim, but, as no suggestion
Of high stakes was made, he concluded
to venture and after some hours play
Ing had seen nothing on the part of his
fellow passenger that looked like
cheating.
But when next morning his compan-
Ion suggested that they play again to
while away the time the American
grew suspicious again and pleaded a
headache.
When they entered the station at
Nice, the man handed the American
his card. i bore the name of Lord

A BIRTHDAY PARTY

Inc members OF MIS-. Mary Burn.
ham S Sunday School class and the
ladies Of the Wet. U. gave her sur
prise party in the parlors OF the Meth
odist church yesterday afternoon in
honor OF her 18th birthday. Between
80 and 40 people sat down to a bounti
full supper table profusely decorated
with flowers. Four bouquets were
given by the W. c. T. u, Of which
Mrs. Burnham was charter member
and one by Mrs. Beckley. Mrs Coutts
and Mrs. Bishop each gave a beautiful
birthday cake.
After supper Rev. Mr.. Lowe read
the very appropriate Scripture text,
attached to the bouquets and made a
few remarks. A poem written for
the occasion by Rev. J. A. Sherburn
was read by Mrs. Kenerson after
which the Sunday School class sung,
"Blest be the Tide that Binds" and
the w. c. T. u, followed with, "God
Re With You Till We Meet Again"
The following are the verses written
by Mr.. Sherburn:
lis worth and work we recognize,
So this should be no great surprise.
Ear back in youth you chose the
part
That's good, gave Christ your heart;
Your mothers church soon took you
IN,
And, ever since, home has been;
You We loved it, and it's holy WAYS
Have been your joy, your highest
praise:
In early, and in later years,
You've shec for it your bitter tears
When 1t has waned, or crippled
Because her robes were stained with
Again, your heart has throttle with
raise,
When she has turned to better ways,
Has shaken off her sloth and sin
And made her garments white and
clean.
You We done work IN private life,
AS daughter, mother, and as wife;
In public too your voice has rose,
To help the right, the wrong op-
pose:
And not the least that's come to
pass,
You've taught for years Bible class.
The class has changed they've come
and gone,
But you have stayed and kept right
on:
1t is fact we need not prove
Your work has been work OF love;
With studied care you've sought to
teach
something to be a help to each.
Now, though the years are crowding
on,
And active powers of body gone,
Your mind S alert and much alive
At the ripe age of seventy five,
Your class now wishes youto know,
Before you wait to older grow,
That they esteem your faithful work.
Which shows no sign that you would
shirk;
But more would do, had you the
power
BY night or day, at any hour.
'Ihey love you, for your love they
share,
And offer up this earnest prayer

out limit, would pe%rpetuate the iuctua-
lions in gold exchange which have
caused so much embarrassment to
trade" The financial situation in the
Philippines is such as to have led the
Chamber of Commerce Of Manila a short
time since to appeal to President Roose-
welt to induce congress to provide a
remedy. The currency feature of the
senate's bill does not do this. but on
the contrary would p%erpetuate the con-
ditions to which the existing situation
is due.
1t seems obvious that the senate has
made a grave mistake in this matter,
which the house should and doubtless
Will correct. What is needed for the
Philippines. as pointed out in the re-
port Of the house committee, is "a coin
age system which does not seriously dis
turb the customs of the Filipino people,
but which gives them a unit of cur
rency easily convertible into the gold

QUESTIONS STILL UNANSWERED.

The very pertinent questions pro-
pounded to the champion of David H.
Mercer in the recent debate still remain
unanswered. These answers touch the
vital points upon which the republicans
will decide whether or not Mr.. Mercer
is entitled to a denomination. Lest we
forget what these questions were, they
are herewith repeated in concise form,
together with the evasive answers made
from the stage before al intelligent
audience of MERGERS constituents:
Question-WiTl Mr.. Mercer live in
Omaha If he is not reelected or will he
locate permanently in Washington and
resume his old business as a profess
sional lobbyist?
Answer-I am not a mind reader, but
1 feel sure Mercer will keep the
army headquarters in the old postoffice
building, unless they are moved into the
new postofice building.
Question-Is it true that Mercer is
willing to live in Omaha two months
out Of every two years If he can keep
his seat in congress for a sixth term, a
seventh term and as many more terms
as he is willing to serve?
Answer-The people of this district
need Mercer more than Mercer needs
them. Mercer needs them only two
months out of every two years, and
they ought TO be satisfied.
Q~uestion-Is II true that Mercer pock-
| cts the allowance of 500 a month for
| clerk hire instead of giving some Ne
braska boy or girl a chance to a the
salary, while the secretary Of the public
buildings committee is forced to do the
extra work which the government pays
for?
Answer-Ask me something easier. l
told you that all the opposition to Mer-
Ger comes because the army headquar-
tiers were removed from The Bee build
ing.
QuestiOn-Why does Mercer make po-
litical deals for West Point and Annap-
oils cadetships. while other congressman
leave these appointments open for com
petitive examination, so that every boy
who aspires to such an education can
have an equal chance?
Answer-Do you expect Mercer to give
away patronage TO Tom, Dick and
Harry? Was there anything wrong in
sending Tom Blackburn's bright boy to
Annapolis? Should Mercer go back on
blackburn just TO please you?
Question-Why did Mercer pocket the
quartermaster's supply bill two years
ago after it had passed the senate, when
he knew that II would be of immense
benefit TO OmahaI
Answer-Don't you know that the

Live Nebraska Towns
A~TKINSON-Active and Prosperous.

Atkinson is located at the head Of the
Elkhorn valley, and at present numbers
= trihe more than 1000 inhabitants.
The tow is more remarkable. perhaps.
for its steady growth and development
than anything else, all efforts to start a
boom having happily failed. There is
no lack Of enterprise, but It is always
directed in the way Of conservative business
EFFORT rather than temporary schemes"
The business Of the town at present Is
conducted by two banks, seven general
stores, one clothing and shoe store. two
drug stores, one newspaper and printery,
two hardware stores, one furniture store,
two lumber yards, one flour and feed store,
one large implement establishment, three
hotels, one restaurant and bakery. two
livery barns, two blacksmith shops, two
millinery stores, two barber shops, two
meat markets, and numberless small enter
prises. Among the more notable institu-
tions are a large Touring mill run by the
never falling water power of the Elkhorn,
a brewery and a creamery. Until the
hard line Of the '90s a brick yard was in
operation, and will probably resume opera
lions again soon, as there is great demand
for Its product for the erection OF new
business blocks to take the place Of old
frame buildings built in an early day.
Atkinson has an excellent system of
water works and a local fire company.
Nearly all the foremost fraternities have
organizations, and three Of the religious
bodies, the Methodist Episcopal, Presby-
terrain and Catholic, have excellent church
buildings. The public school building
stands on the brow Of a plateau in the
north part Of town, from which locality a
most beautiful view is obtained Of the
fertile Elkhorn valley stretching to the
east and south, dotted with the houses Of
prosperous farmers, and covered with
fields Of small grain and corn. This may have
been a prairie country once, but it is now
we'll dotted with artificial groves. The
soil is not excelled in Nebraska for rails
ing" qualities. In this connection 1t may
be interesting to note that the land sdJa-
cent to town is rapidly becoming cut up
into small tracts Of FIVE to ten acres which
make money for numerous market garden

however, and Bryan will be compelled to
accept the go%vernorship candidacy now IL
his friends insist on IL.
Undoubtedly Bryan's candidacy would
make the election in Nebraska this year
Of interest to the whole country. Bryan
himself has said that he has ceased to
be an aspirant for the presidential NOM
nation in 1904, but IL he should be elected
governor of his state in 1902 he would
have an excellent chance to sweep the ma
tional convention Of his party two years
hence. This is a'contingency which makes
the canvass in Nebraska Of great interest
to the country. All the gold democrats, Of
course, are against Bryan, but not many
Of that sort of democrats can be found in
Nebraska even now. II Bryan should give
the word he would be nominated for gov
ernor by reclamation. There is a chance
that he will be nominated whether he
gives the word or not, and, II nominated,
he will be compelled to accept This Is
something which will give a great deal Of
concern to the men who are attempting
to reorganise the democratic party by
throwing Bryan outside the breastworks.

st. Louis Globe
The effort which is being made to in
duce William J. Bryan to accept the nom
nation Of the democratic-populist com
bination OF Nebraska for governor shows
that his friends intend to keep him at
the front, at least until after the election
Of 1904. II there we're any chance Of his
success in the canvass for governor there
would be an obvious reason for compelling
him to accept the candidacy, even though
he says he does not want it, and will re-
fuse 1t IL 1t is rendered to him.. His friends
think he can carry the state, and, there
fore, they are working to get him the
candidacy.
Many prominent men have been con-
strained to accept nominations which they
did not want and which they declared hey
would decline. Senator Hill positively for
babe his friends to name him for governor
Of New York in 1894, but they went right
ahead and put him up, and he was forced
to accept the candidacy. Bryan will be in
a similar position Hill at that time was a
presidential aspirant, as he Is still, and
he knew that a defeat for the governor
ship, even though he had held that office
before and did not want it then, would
injure his prestige in the race for the

ers. These lands, when changing hands,
bring prices Of SIS to 500 an acre, which
is a fact that would probably have to be
proven to a "backeaster," who has always
heard Of this country as the Great Ameri-
can Desert. Another fact which might
stun him is that Mr.. James Brook. living
on a ten-acre patch OF this 500 land n
half mile east OF Atkinson. make more
than a comfortable living every year simply
by picking strawberries in the summer
time. He ships them in immense quantities
and people in Omaha and other cities buy
them and think they come from somewhere
in the vicinity Of the Gulf or Mexico.
Atkinson is really on the dividing line
west Of us lies the range country, with
its thousands Of cattle, while east and
south are leagues OF the most fertile farm
ing country ever blessed by rain and sun
shine. Land values are steadily increas-
ing, which reminds me that we probably
have more real estate men here than In
any other town OF the same size in the
state, and they all seem to keep busy as
immigration 70 coming this way very rapidly.
Just at present Atkinson is prominent in
the minds of travellers as the nearest
railroad point to the Indian reservation

been necessary to establish a special stage

accommodate the traflc. Altogether Atkin-

II is more OF the same kind she already
has. More people, more business men,
more capital, more tradesmen, more me-
chanics, more laborers, and more farmers

be bought for $40 to S25 an acre. All these
will help to make Atkinson the city she

WEST POINT ~CENTENNLAL.

The West Point Military academy was
founded by act Of congress in 1902 and
the centennial Of that institution will
be celebrated this week. 1t will be an
exceedingly interesting celebration, in
which many distinguished persons will
participate and which will make the
American people better acquainted with
the history and the worth of this great
military school, aptly termed the cradle
of heroes The conception of a mill
tary academy II this country dates back
to 1776, when the lack of competent
officers for the army led to the appoint
ment Of a committee by the continental
congress TO prepare and bring in a plan
of a military academy, but no further
action was taken. In 1898 Washing
ton invited the attention of congress
to the matter and in 1896 recommended
the institution of a military academy.
Six years later congress passed the
necessary legislation and the institution
created thereby has been gradually de-
veloped> into one of the best of the
worlds military schools, where have
been educated soldiers who achieved
imperishable fame.
The American people are justly proud
of the West Point academy, which is
associated with our heroic periods since
the date of its foundation, and the cele-
bration of its hundredth anniversary
will command general interest.
