WHY WE SHOULD WORK.
1t Is the Natural Thing to Do While
on the Other Hand IdIeness
Is Unnatural.

Work is activity in some phase of our
life. Life is manifested in activity, and
inactivity would be stagnation which
would be fatal to life, says the Amer
lean Queen
In the universe wherever there is life
there is activity. This is true in the
vegetable, the animal and the human
worlds. This activity is necessity
which runs through all organic life. The
life that is not crowned with ennobling
work of some kind, either for ones own
livelihood or for the good of others, is
an empty life-an abnormal life
Work is natural; idleness unnatural
Work builds up and inactivity tears
down. Idleness is a violation of our be-
ing. Hence, it is immoral.
There are manifold reasons why we
should work and no reason why we
should not Those who are not obliged
to labor for their daily bread should
choose work Of some kind in obedience
to ths universal law that we see running
in all creation.
He who was of the opinion that ''the
man who does rot work should not eat, >"
realized the demoralizing influence Of
a life spent in idleness.

FEMININE FASHIONS.
Notes and Suggestions for Those Who
Keep Pace with the New
est in Dress.

One of the new skating jackets is
fashioned on the lines of a Norfolk
jacket.
For sleighing or automobiling in
frosty weather nothing is more correct
and comfortable than one Of the long
fur coats.
A pretty high crush girdle is of chine
Dresden lousine, with a deep cream
ground
From England comes the word that
gray is to be the correct hunting color,
but in this country individual taste will
probably present a variety of shades.
The latest bonbon cases represent Ok
ford ties in porcelain initiating patent
leather, white suede and waterproof
leather.
A new species of sandals has ap-
peared for bedroom use. These nov
elites, which come in red and other
bright colors, go by the very descrip-
tive appellation of ''scuppers."
With ermine hats pale blue and a
touch of gold seems the favorite com
bination, and with sable or mink the vio-
let shades of flowers and heavy cream
of laces are most used.
Leather has an important part to play
in many of the winter costumes. There
are revers and landings of leather on
many of the chic suits and coats. French
modistes are producing entire coats of
leather.

Hone and CheerfuIness.

Keep to the broad highways of Hope
and Cheerfulness. Expect to succeed
Think success and you will succeed.
Keep out of the back alleys of gloom and
pessimism. Join the procession of the
cheerful, the willing and the hopeful.
Be sanguine. Know the pleasures Of
living. Enjoy the sunshine of hope. Be-
ware of the Entertainments of the carp
ing, pessimistic spirit. 1t is hardy
plant. 1t takes root easily in the mind
and, like the thistle, when once it gains
a foothold it is well-nigh impossible to
uproot. But it cannot live in an atmos-
phere of sunshine and cheeTfulness
Therefore, keep to the highways. Keep
out of the back alleys.-Chicago Daily

A MOB OF COREANS.
Attacked Electric Car Owned
by Americans
The Car Was Partially Destroyed
Prompt Action OF American Lega-
ton Guards Prevented Serious
Riot-Situation Critical.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The state de-
partment Sunday received official in
formation of attack Sunday by mob
OF native Coreans on an electric car
III Corea the line being owned by Am
orleans, because of the fact that it had
killed a COrean. The news came in
the following telegram, received under
Sundays date, from Minister Allen at
Seoul:
'This morning on the electric rail-
way which is the property of Ameri-
can citizens, a Corean was accident
ally and unavoidabIy killed Thereup-
on a mob of natives attacked and par
TALLY destroyed the car The opera
tors Of the car would have been injur-
ed had it not been for the presence
of mind and action of our guard, and
serious riot would have occurred"
Although there have been previous
reports of disturbances in Corea this
is the first mob attack made thus far
on property of Americans. The rail-
road is owned and operated by Ameri-
cans, H. r. Bostwick, of San Francis
CO, and H. Collbran being its principal
officers. 1t runs through the heart Of
Seoul, the CoTean capital
The guard which made the rescue
came from the American legation. It
consists of 100 marines, who were
sent there some time ago to be on
hand for the protection of Americans
and their property. Reinforcement of
this guard has been urged and could
be made in a weeks time by details
of marines from the Philippines, but
nothing has been decided on this
point Conditions in Corea are recog-
nized to be critical, and the state de-
partment is keeping in close touch
with the situation.
No fresh instructions have been
sent as yet as result Of Sundays
mob at Corea.
The Corean legation has received no
advices concerning the matter. The
Corean government has notified its le-
CATION here that it has issued a for
NAL declaration of neutrality as be-
tween Russia and Japan in the event
of war, and Minister Min-Hui-Cho has
formally advised the state department
of this action.

TIE JUDGE AND THz-LAwYERs
His Honor Was There with Good
Hard Knock When the ODpor-
tuni4y offered.

The judge had had his patience sorely
tried by lawyers who wished to talk and
by men who tried to evade jury service.
Between hypothetical questions and ex-
cuses it seemed as if they never would
get to the actual trial of the case. So
when the puzzled little German who had.
been accepted by both sides jumped up
the judge was exasperated, relates Ell
lott Flower, in the Brooklyn Eagle.
"Shudge!" cried the German.
What is it," demanded the Judge.
Il tink l like to go home to my wife"
said the German.
You can't" retorted the judge. "Sit
down.
But, Shudge," persisted the German,
Il don't tink make good shuror"
You're the best in the box" said the
judge. ''Sit down.
What box?" asked the German.
The jury box" said the judge.
"Oh, 1 fought it vas bad box that
peoples get in sometimes"
NO" said the judge; "the bad box IS
the prisoners box"
But, Shudge, persisted the little
German, Il don't speak goot English"
You won't have to speak any at ALL"
said the judge. "Sit down."
The little German pointed at the law
yers to make his last desperate plea.
"Shudge," he said, 81 can't make nod
ings out of what those feIlers say"
1t was the judges chance to get even
for many annoyances.
Neither can anyone else" he said.
"Sit down"
With sigh the little German sat
down.

NEBRASKA
The Land
OF PLENTY

wonder why it is that so many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their
own homes, when within a few
hours journey is a land of plenty
Ne braSka-where all kinds Of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount Of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring q
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churches and
schools abound; where land IS
cheap and can be bought on very
easy terms.
Think Of this, and if you want
information about the country send
to me for "The Corn Belt" a
beautifully illustrated monthly
paper that tells all about Nebraska,
and also for THE West Nebraska
Grazing Country" an interesting
illustrated booklet containing a
large sectional map of Nebraska.
On the first and third Tuesdays
of each month during the balance
of this year cheap excursion
tickets will be sold over our road
to Nebraska, so that people may go
and see for themselves. Ask your
ticket agent about this.
