\ story is told of Louisiana mer-
chant who came to New York deter
mined to secure a bargain. He wanted
cheap cloaks, and after trying in vain
to suit himself at the wholesale houses
he bought a job lot at auction. He ex-
amined the goods hurriedly and had
them shipped home. In due time he
was confronted by an excited head
salesman who said the garments were
out of style.
They didn't look that way" said the
merchant.
But they are" replied the clerk.
The merchant persisted that the
cloaks would sell, but they didn't In
desperation he returned them to New
York to be disposed of to best advan-
tage. On his next trip to New York he
again visited an auction house and
bought a lot of cloaks. When he re.
turned home and examined his pur-
chase he saw that he had bought the
same lot as before.-World's Work.

In Russia. where the cold in winter is
very intense, the markets are very curl
Gus things The meat is frozen, the car
casses of dead animals, as sheep and
pigs, stand upright outside the stalls;
everything, even game and poultry, re-
quires to be thawed before it can be
cooked, and the market peoples dress
is as picturesque as it is warm and
comfortable.
Then the rivers are frozen over all
the winter long, and SO thick is the ice
that every one can skate anywhere and
any time. Stalls are put up on the ice
and busy markets held there.
In the Asiatic part of Russia the peo-
pie live chiefly by hunting and fishing,
and the fur of the Russian animals Is
very beautiful-the ermine, fox, sable
sea otter and others.
AT the end of the winter, when the
snow melts, the huntsman pursues the

can glide over the snow very quickly
while the poor elk sinks into the snow

To Enjoin Cupid in Nebraska.
QUELoUEFoIs

The Chicago cord-Herald says the
attention of those doubtful pessimists
who claim that society is going to the
bowwows because there are so few
marriages, is called to the efforts of the
State of Nebraska to suppress an cpl
demic of matrimony among the teach
ers in the public schools.
Never were teachers so scarce and
never were marriages so numerous
among them as in Nebraska. Singu-
larly enough, the young men of Ne
braska have suddenly decided to be
satisfied with nothing but schoolma'-
ans for wives, and they are determin-
ed to have them for Christmas gifts.
They are not willing to wait until the
teachers contracts with school boards
have expired. They regard the con-
nubia. contract as much more impor-
tant and more binding than contracts
with school authorities. And the in
teresting feature of the situation
which complicates the trouble for the
school trustees is the fact that the
schoolma'ams are in happy accord
with the anxious SWANS upon these
propositions.
The situation has grown so desper-
ate that the Acknowledgement has been
urged to start injunction or mandamus
proceedings to enforce teachers con-
tracts. Teachers will be enjoined from
getting married until the end of the
school term, which comes in May or
June, according to the locality.
II is the State Court against the
court of Hymen. 1t will be interest
ing to see which comes out on top. In
the meantime the education of the
youth of Nebraska is in the balance.
The occasion is opportune for con-
graduating the State upon these man.

of the plight of the schools, and for

The Bird MonopoIist.

As is generally known, the cuckoo
lays its eggs in the nests of other birds,
leaving them TO be Matched and the
young cuekoos reared by their foster
parents. The young cuckoo throws the
other birds out of the nest and gets all
the care itself After numbering its
foster brothers and sisters in the most
deliberate and callous way it is thence
forth tended with the greatest devo-
ton. Long after it has left the nest
the great bird, apparently big enough
to get its own living and many times
larger than its foster parents, is fol
lowed about and fed by them with the
same care as when in the nest.

Jessie Wilson of Pine Grove, drove to
town last Sunday. While on the road
one of the axels of their wagon went
dry causing the wheel to ''freeze.o
The young ladies had no wrench nor
axle grease, but they used an old
horseshoe for wrench and took the
butter from the lunch basket for a
lubricator. After going a little dis
lance further the wheel froze again.
Then the lunch basket was again
brought into requisition and a guam
tity of choice headcheese was smear

turn. Then in despair the girls plas-
tered the pesky "ax'' with vaseline,

When the National Banks insisted
before President Andrew Jackson that
they were entitled to representation
in the Congress of the United States,
he said, ''By God, sir, we will see
whether the National Banks or the
people govern this country He kill
ed the bill permitting such representa-
ton. But the money power got such
representation by purchase, suose-
auently, and have maintained a strong
control of every branch of the govern
ment ever since L. 5. Grant first took
his seat as President of the United
States. Roosevelt has made some at
tempts to curtail their power, and We
have the right to believe in his SINGER
ity in that particular. But with the
great governing majority of his party
in fierce opposition to him, the people
cannot expect anything like satisfac-
tory results. There is but one plain
fight, and a well marked line showing
the people on which side to stand, and
that is on the side of Bryan Demo-
crat as good as Bryan himself, at least.
The election of a Cleveland Democrat,
or an "expediency Democrat" might
result in giving the Democrats the
offices for four years, but that is all.
That is all the Democracy accomplish
ed by the election of Cleveland, and
he left the party in a great deal worse
condition than when he took up IFS
leadership. We must take up leader
who will stand for principle alone,
and stand for a government by the
people. and for all the people as
against a government by the trusts
and against the interests of the great
majority of the people. Our war cry
should be Popular Government. In
handling the trust question, there
should be no immediate general smash
ing. but it should be handled carefully,
steadily and persistently, until honest
business methods again prevail. The
thieves should be handled speedily
and without mercy. No one but a
sound Bryan Democrat can accomplish
these objects.

the whole crop. Of the almonds

Herbert Spencer, who recently died

1t is natural that il should be so. We

the truth, inevitably made him speak
the truth, and those who lived further

place Herbert Spencer as his greatest

Before the Legislature of 1903 met,
man in Nevada had the right to work
and contract for work for as many
hours day as he pleased He might
work 9, 10 or u hours a day. 1t was
his individual right. 1t belonged TO
him, and was his private property, and
he could control himself in that partic-
eular according to his health, strength
and needs of his family. Since the
meeting of that great body, man has
no longer the right. 1t has been taken
away from him, and now he must work
according to set rules. 1t makes no
difference whether the wife is sick and
absolutely in need of medicines and
medical attendance, or even food, nor
does it make any difference how strong,
hearty, healthy and willing and anx-

on and limited to eight hours work by
the law, and to such pay as necessarily
