Northern Securities company and the

suaded themselves that the man who
did these things is unsafe for the presi-

OF this belief into the easily susceptible
''street" that the financial quarter is all
a-fever with the malady. The cry of
Unsafe is echoed through New York
as the cry "Unclean" was wont to be
heard about the lepcr novels of Pales-

Hay and several others were approached

COOKS AND TEACHERS
Can't Be Kept in Northwestern Ne
braska, Because Cowboys Will
Marry Them.

Kansas City Journal.
According to reliable reports from
the cattle country of Northwestern
Nebraska, that region has superior in
ducements to young women who
might become susceptible to offers OF
matrimony.
Col. Sam Moses, a cattle baron of
Cherry County, Neb., who owns a
ranch OF severa! thousand acres near
Valentine, was in Kansas City last
night, on his way home from visit
to Texas.
Il employ several cooks on my
ranches" said Col. Moses, 'and being
decidedly opposed to male cooks, I
have from time 10 time imported wo-
men cooks from the cities as we'll as
from rural towns in the thickly set
tied sections of the country; but l
can never keep woman cook longer
than a few weeks. Every time /
bring in a new woman cook some
cowboy comes along and marries her.
Then l send for another one, and the
same result is certain.
This is also true of school teach
ers in our country. Bright young
women come out there and are engag-
ed to teach the district school. They
start in with great enthusiasm. A lit
tie later in the school term we OBJ
serve that their thoughts seem to
stray far away from their school room
duties. We used to wonder what it
meant, but now we wonder no longer,
for we know they are going to marry
a cowboy and quit teaching school.
And SO it goes, year after year.
The only way I can account for
this is that the cattle country is pop
ulated mostly by men, and that the
majority of them are young fellows
who have come out from the farms Of
the eastern states. 1t takes vast
bunch Of men to handle the cattle in
dustry, and the place being compare
lively new aand lacking in many of
the attributes that go to make up do
mestic surroundings, the number of
women is necessarily limited.
Wherefore l am speaking seriously
when I say that the cattle country of
Nebraska and South Dakota really Of
fers inducements to young women
who would care to marry cattlemen.

cattle barons looking for wives, but
it must be remembered that the hired

THE TRUTH AT LAST.
Vindication of President Davis Char

Way to Public Press.

Its a weary stretch OF lane that has

support OF the ancient adage, it will

able. since now at the long last the
vindicat;on OF even President Jefer-

find its way into the public press.
In the March Pilgrim there is an
article by Landon Knight entitled
The True Jefferson Davis" that we
trust will prove the entering wedge
in this respect. But whether it does
or not, it is at least something that
northern readers are given chance by
one of their own magazines to learn
the truth about a man who has been
so maligned. The following from the
article in question will give an idea
of it's scope and tone:
THE people of Texas, learning Of
Mr.. Davis losses, offered to give
him an extensive stockfarm in that
state, but this he also refused. Upon
the Gulf of Mexico at the little sta
ton of Beauvoir, Mr.. Davis owned a
tract of land which he conceived
would support his family, and there,
iar from the strife OF the busy world,
he resolved to spend the declining
wears of his life. However, retire.
ment at best could only be partial, for
man loved and venerated as Mr..
Davis throughout the south, and
Beauvoir accordingly became the
shrine of the public men who sought
the counsel of its sage. But with the
modesty characteristic of the man
he refused to advise any one upon
measures Of national import, since by
the action of congress he was forever
disfranchised. He would not ask par
don, sincerely believing that he had
done no wrong, and when the people
of Mississippi would have elected him

the look brought encouragement with

Softly and low the organ gave out
