What Cheer Patriot has a Birthday.

The editor of the REPUBLICAN was
editor of the What Cheer Patriot from
1888 to 1892. The Patriot last week
celebrated its twenty-fifth birthday
and editor Ogden became reflective
and philosophical concerning the
occasion, writing thusly:
THE PATRIOTS BIRTHDAY.
This is the Patriots 18th birthday.
The last issue closed Volume XIV
and this is No. of Vol. XIV.
Of course the Patriot has had so
many birthdays now that. they cease
to hold the charm of more youthful
days but still they bring with them
reminiscent memories of the past and
inspire anxious but futile inquiry into
the future, to try to guess what it may
hold in store for her. The array of
pictures of its former editors on the
wall above us also carries with it
subject matter for reflection and and
sets us wondering if the time will
come when we too shall become a
'has been" and some one else will
sit in the editorial chair and scribble
words of wisdom and nonsense, pol
tiles, religion, gossip, kind words,
rebukes, words of sympathy for those
who mourn, record the good deeds of
the departed, congratulations and
good wishes to the married, rejoicing
at births, sympathy in trouble and
the thousand and one things that we
have said during the past eight years
dnring which we have been permitted
to record the history Of this commun-
ity as it has been made. That the Pat
riot has prospered during our ad-
ministration and has received gen.
erous patronage we are glad to record.

This may all be true in Boone. But
in Council Bluffs the fact that the
government is just finishing the enter

the post Office is proof positive that
winter is over.-Nonpareil

The dynamiting of Elmer f.

interference with vested rights.
Omaha needs just such an awak-

citizens should be thankful that

Replying to the article in last
weeks Republican entitled Still
Alt" we have only to say that The
Republican has lodged again but
is coming to its senses since cleo
ton and if it will just continue ar
ticles like the following we will &c
hand in hand for good govern
ment and honesty in the admins
tration of affairs in our state:
The Burlington and Union Pa
citfc railroads have secured a tenn
porary restraining order against
8, county treasurers from attempting
in any way or manner to collect
taxes levied against them under the
new revenue law. This action on
the part of the railroads is an out
rage and will in the end work nc
gain to these roads. BY this and
similar action of the railroads and
monopolistic concerns, the great
corporations are surely weaving a
net that is certain to bring them
obstruction. They are forcing an
issue that the people will not pa
tiently and silently endure without
resentment ere long, and which il
pressed to the limit is sure to re-
suit in their observation-disclosures
tine Republican.
The Burlington and y. 2. rail-
rosds Of Nebraska have refused to
pay their taxes as assessed by the
state board. What does this mean9
So soon after election too that it
takes the breath of several repub-
leans who were clamoring SO loud
L. for the revenue law and the re-
election Of the republican state
ticket, working hand in hand with
tie railroad companies. This is
pretty much the same as their
crawfshing at the time BARLEY
was paroled and when one of their
candidates for Office was forced to
withdraw because he was known
to have participated in the BARLEY
shortage. Notice several clippings
this week from other papers show
ing how other republican papers
feel about the victory they have
helped to win for the railroad and
how the railroads are kicking out
Of paying their taxes. Wha' will
it amount to3 1t is just this: To
reduce their taxes they have ,ade
tnis refusal to pay taxes no. a.
sessed and offer part payment as
q bluff to further increase of their
taxes. These taxes can be coIioct-
ed from them and should the.g be
compelled to pay. they hav. at
least made q bluff towards any
further increase by the state board
eject, and it will be plain t. be
seen now just where Gov. Mickpy
stands in the coming conflicts.
THE DEMOCRAT did not misrr pre-
sent single fact. We did not
make our statements as strong as
they should have been.

Some Rules of Etiquette.

In 1701, two centuries ago, the boys and
girls had most courteous manners. If COM
PARSONS were made between them then
and now" there Is little doubt that the
child Of long ago would be accorded first
place. Here are some Of the instructions
as laid down by the fashion of the time,
and published in a book for children:
Never sit down at the table until asked.
Ask for nothing, tarry till 1t be offered
thee.
Speak not.
Spit not, cough not, nor blow thy nose
at the table If 1t may be avoided. If there
Is great necessity, do it aside, and with
out much noise
Lean not thy elbow on the table or on
|. the back Of thy chair.
Stun not thy mouth so as to fill thy
cheeks. Be content with smaller mouth
fuls.
Blow not thy meat. but with patience walt
till 1t be COOL
When moderately satisfied, leave the
table
Sing not, hum not, wriggle not.
When any speak to thee, stand up. Say
not / have heard 1t before. Singer not,
never question the truth of 1t.
The child is told about his behavior at
school:
Take Off thy hat at entering and bow
to thy teacher.
Rise and bow at entrance Of any stran-
ger.
Bawl not in speaking
Walk not cheek by jowl, but fall re-
specially behind and always give the wall
to elders and superiors.

The Unreasoning Dog.

John Burroughs, in Harper's Magazine.
Lloyd Morgan relates at some length the
experiments he tried with his fox terrier,
Tony trying to teach him how to bring
stick through fence with vertical palings
The spaces would allow the dog to pass
through. but the palings caught the ends
of the stick which the dog carried in his
mouth. When his master encouraged him
he pushed and struggled vigorously. Not
succeeding. he went back, lay down and be-
gan gnawing the stick Then he tried
again. and stuck as before, but by
chance movement of his head to one side
hnaily got the stick through. His master
patted him approvingly, and sent him for
the stick again. Again he seized 1t by the
the palings After some struggles he Drop
ped 1t and came through without it. Then,
encouraged by his master, he put his head
through, seized the stick and tried to pull
1t through, dancing up and down in his en-
beavers. Time after time and day after
day the experiment was repeated with
practically the same results The dog
never mastered the problem. He could not
see the rela ton of that stick to the opening
IN the fence. One time he worked and tug
geo three minutes trying to pull the stick
tnrough. or course. if he had had any
mental conception of the problem, or had
tnousht about 1t at all, a single trial would
nave convinced him as we'll as a dozen
trials. Mr.. Morgan tried the experiment
win other dogs, with like result. When
tney did get the stick through 1t was al
ways by chance. al

Best Place for a Holiday.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly
The first great factor In successful holi-
day, as in a successful life. is to know one
self, and to choose within the compass Of
ones real abilities. 1t is futile to try camp
ing out if one likes fine toggery, delicate
eating and much service, and equally so to
go to a big hotel invented and set on top
of the earth for the purpose Of feeding
courtship and displaying Clothes If one love
nature and desire a silent communion with
ones own soul. AS general rule, the bet
ter choice Is to take what we have pined
for as conspicuously and painfully absent
during the rest of the year. There is al
ways certain preparation for reaction in
longing. So if ones workaday world Is in
the midst of city where every turn is
filled with people to whom one must adjust
oneself and ones mood, the natural bent is
to hunt for quiet in ones holiday.
Now, on the face of it. solitude would
seem the cheapest and easiest thing to
find, but, as a matter of fact, to find one
adequate. beautiful and safe Is expensive,
difficult and risky. Perhaps as good way
as any, II one is not prepared to expend
great sums and travel far, is simply to
reverse the order of the day and sleep dur
ing the sunlight and to repair, fresh and
oDServant, to ones roof at Starrise Here,
with an opera glass for wide vistas into
the heavens, with easy chair or a cusf-
ion or two, one may find fresh air, undis-
tufDed consequences, and such peace as
we bring with ourselves to enjoy. Again,
this is a solitude lightly to Ike laid aside If
we find our mood not nicely adjusted; no
money has been spent, no fatigue incurred
ana we can face our failure to be delighted
without too much humiliation.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-07-30

this honor is a feather. An achievement
requiring unusual skill or prowess,
strength or daring is called grand coup.
and its mark is a feather with red tuft
of horsehair at the end. These feathers
are worn in the war bonnet, which thus
becomes very interesting and important
article of any Indians costume
To the exploits already listed add these:
Row one mile in fifteen minutes for coup.
in twelve minutes for grand coup.
Paddle, single, one mile in twenty min
utes for coup. in fifteen minutes for grand
coup.
Swim 100 yards for coup. 200 in four
minutes for grand coup.
Go 400 yards in six minutes, running 100.
rowing 100, walking 100. swimming 100, for
coup; do 1t in five minutes for grand coup.
This last named exploit will suggest
splendid variety OF contests, depending
upon the water course. the nature of the
shore and the boats. When Eagle Tribe
was encamped last September at WINDY
goul. in the country OF Black Wolf, two
crews of four each were chosen for land
and water race with canoes. The course
lay from a given point on the lake shore
around an island. thence to a point on
shore opposite the island, where the canoes
were to be taken from the water, carried
100 yards along the lake shore, then re-
embarked and padded to the point of start
ing. Each canoe had bow and a stern
pa ddle The other two contestants in each
canoe were needed only for the carry. In
their eagerness to get ashore the crew that
had won the advantage by hard padding
over the first part Of the course upset their
canoe. and thus in the end lost the race
A contest of this kind may be held be-
tween competing crews. as just described,
or the course may be gone over to see how
quickly it may be done. Where there are
competing crews, and the course is a cir
cular one which leads around and back to
the point of starting. 1t will be better if
the crews start in opposite directions. This
avoids interference by one running afoul
Of the other, and the result Of the race will
be in doubt until both contestants are near
ing the goal
AS soon as a tribe gets its camp estab-
lished it will wish to hold councils. If the
council Is the dignified occasion it should
be it will commence with the lighting Of
the sacred fire by the council fire chief
And this should be done with the rubbing
sticks.
To make for ones self a successful set OF
