A Man Found In Nebraska Who is said
Actually to Love His Enemles-DIscus-

Of Ethles-ought Man to Love His
Enemies or Is the Attempt a Foolish

Editor George Marvin Of the Beatrice,
Neb., Sun, is generally acknowledged by
the press of that state to be one of tneI
most moral and pious men in the busi-
ness. To some of the boys who are still,
In the gall Of printers bitterness and
bonds OF newspaper iniquity Georges
piety is said to be bit oppressive Yeti
they all like George. He was asked the
other day why he was SO good and he re-
Piled IN effect that he was at one time as
wicked as the rest of the boys thought
they We're. He ate tobacco, played cards
for gainful purposes and ,once he even
sWapped horses on Sunday Various par
ties told him then that they would freely
wager him SIS that his sin would find him
out and George acknowledged that it did
After being buffeted by Satan several
times George arrived at that age Of good
sense and discretion where he found that
1t was more sport to be good than to be
bad
A good many men who are not particu-
larly pious arrive at this conclusion some
what early in life. But it is a question
whether they are the real thing until they
get to a point where they can love their
enemies. Colonel Marvin is said to love
his enemies Almost any man, unless he
Is depraved, loves his friends fairly well,
hJ1t n 11xyo ci% a
to love your enemies, the fellows who,
you may think, try to do you in
mean, underhanded way in business for
instance.
I asked a pretty good fellow the other
day this question:
Say, do you love your enemies?'
WELL he said, thoughtfully, st can't
stand for all of them.
1t Is said that a census of people who
love their enemies, not merely tolerate
them or ignore them, but actually loyo
them would make rather poor showing.
How about it, really? Ought man to
love his enemies. or is that idea just a
piece Of sentimentalism, impractical ana
foolish? Ed Howe of the Atchison Globe,
who is considered one of the brightest
and wittiest, says that man who even
attempts to love his enemies is an ass.
He ought to club them.
How about it?
R. F. B. has touching little poem in
the Deadwood Pioneer Times on the de-
town. He says:
The Hutchingses hev moved away,
En- took their daughter Jennie,
An | amt cracked smile since then
Err amt ct hardly emmy.

En- yearn-en yearn--en yearn,
Ter hev her by my side agin

/ Doubtless you know the feeling The
poet goes on to tell how doughnuts don't
| taste like they ort and how even currant
| jam has lost it's charm. But he draws a
| philosophical conclusion. He looks for
ward to the time when he will get over
| the worst Of it and adds that when he
does there will be no more of this love
business for him. The trouble is, it is
| like the rust on the wheat. You DOM
know it until the damage is done. Anc
then where are you?

1t seems that Dom Paul Kruger saved

republic Dom is dead now and we d,
not wish to say anything against him O
to detract at all from his great fame bu

out. That would have left Paul 6. nea
little nest egg of $1,ooo,Ooo to cheer hi
declining years and he would have ha

But then you know yourself how hard it j
to let go of the stuff after you once ge
your hands on it, SO we must not be to
hard on Uncle Paul.: He was old an
doubtless found it difficult to change tn
habits Of lifetime.
The state fair this year, opening Aug
