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
-Nebraska-where all kinds Of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount Of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring 4
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churches and
schools abound; where land IL
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.

On the other hand, the city authori-

One-half of Bedford thinks him guilty,
another half declares him innocent If
there is any tangible evidence against
this young man it has not been made
public. The detectives were declaring
Sunday that they have secured, evil

His PRAYER.

Chaplain Hale no longer asks Sena-
tors to Join with him in repeating the
Lords prayer at the morning devo,
tions. This arises from the fact that
when he did make the request there
was no response. This circumstance
was the basis of report. printed in
some newspapers, that none of the
senators knew the prayer. The report
in turn became the source of no little
anxiety to DR.. Hale.
Can it be possible that such a de-
plorabie condition of affairs exists"
he asked more than one senator. and
he was apparently much relieved by
the assurance given him that the

said Senator Tillman when he heard
the story. Il fear they'd all be like
two fellows they tell about down in
South Carolina. They were in peril
of losing their lives by drowning,
when one of them insisted the other
should pray. Notwithstanding his com.

know how to pray.

Driven mad by hunger. they attacked
the horse and rider. A sudden jump
by the pony threw the women from her
saddle and she fell to the ground and
the wolves rushed at her and would

of the wolves and then turning, used
his heels. One wolf had its skull

Faithful to His Friends.

one thought had he to live his life.
To link with joy its utmost ends,
But in the thickest of the strife
He was faithful to his friends.
Cared not he for right nor wrong,
Honor's call nor duty's way;
He but lived among the throng,
Lived among them for a day.
Thus he lived and thus he died.
Yet each one now his life defends;
For we saw the rule applied
He was faithful to his friends.
Rough and tempest tossed the road,
Crooked was the path he trod;
Oft ne staggered meath the load
And swore loudly at his GOD.
But after all his varied years
No reason he to make amends;
He left no payment in arrears
He was faithful to his friends.
