Through Thick and Thin.

If monarchs have often permitted
themselves tks indulgence of making
puns the fact has not been recorded In
the pages Of history. One pun, how
ever, is assigned to King Frederick
William ". Of Prussia.
1t Is said that on the occasion of u
court ball he was standing near the
middle Of the dance hall In converse
ton with an exceedingly thin ambas-
sador. In the haste and excitement
Of a fiery galop a lieutenant of the
hussars danced, with his partner, be-
tween the monarch and the person
whom he was addressing, and then,
seeing what he had done, he began to
stammer abject apologies and eXplana-
tons.
ooh, that was nothing" replied the
king, with a hearty laugh. "a hussar
must go without fear through thick
and thin"
A whimsical glance fnOm his own
portly figure to that Of the slender am
bassador accompanied this answer, and
the hussar felt himself not only par
doned, but invited to share in the
kings laugh.

Violet For Mourning.

1t was not by accident that violet
was chosen by many nations as the ex-
elusive color for mourning and by us
also for half mourning. Painters suf-
fering from hysteria and neurasthenia
will be inclined to cover their pictures
uniformly with the color most in ac-
cordance with their condition Of lassi-
tude and exhaustion. Thus originate
the violet pictures of Manet and his
school, which spring from no actually
observable aspect of nature, but from
a subjective view due to conditions Of
the nerves. When the entire surface
of walls in salons and art exhibitions
of the day appears yelled in uniform
half mourning this prediction for vio-
let is simply an expression Of the nerv-
GUS debility of the painter.-Nordau's
Degeneration"

Why Not une at McCook?

Fort Morgan. Colo, Nov. pa mil
lion and a half beet sugar factory at
Fort Morgan is an assured fact. The
proposition was clinched yesterday when
representatives of the Great Western
Sugar company closed deals for a man.
moth factory site and 760 acres of land
under the new Bijou ditch. The total
consideration was approximately $780,
600. The site purchased is located a
mile and a half northwest Of Fort Nor
gan and comprises one-half of the Ross
ranch, one-half of the Anthony ranch,
all of the Rathbone ranch and the west
half of the Baird place. The 76O acres
secured by the company is located west
OF town. 1t is believed the company in
tends to divide this ground up into
small sections and start a beet growers
colony, or else grow beets on it's own ac-
count to augment those contracted for
from the farmers. 1t is understood the
Great Western company will begin the
construction of the proposed new factory
in plenty of time to insure its completion
by the fall of 1906. The factory will
cost in the neighborhood of 81, 800, 900
and have a daily capacity of 600 tons. It
will employ several hundred men and
women. The news that the Great West
ern company had actually purchased a
factory site and a great tract of land for
beet growing purposes was received by
the people of Fort Morgan with the
greatest of pleasure, for it means a big
boom for this town and Morgan county.

The Meaning of Sympathy.

1t was a clever Frenchwoman who
said: Those who have suffered much
are like those who know many Ian
guages. They have learned to under
stand and to be understood by many.
1t is an 1mpossibility to fully sympa-
thize with another's experience unless
it has been at some time ones own
In trouble or grief we turn Instructive
ly to some one whom we know has
been through the same experience. 1t
is the old human longing for compan-
ionship that shows itself. The feeling
Is strong within us that she will feel
and know with me. Therein lies the
meaning Of sympathy"

Serving Fish.

Fish is dainty food. Practice is need
ed in serving it. Lightness Of touch
and dexterity Of management are nee
essary to keep the delicate flakes i'll
tact. 1t requires some skill to rip
the skin and lay it back and sever the
head and tail with neatness and dis
patch. These three articles must new
er leave the platter. They belong to
the cat. The choicest morsel Of any
white fish is the cheek. 1t is not good
form to cut through a fish. Begin at
the tail and throw aside the skin. Be
gin at the head to serve, cutting to the
backbone. When the meat on that side
is helped turn the fish and help the
other side in the same way. If there is
roe a part should be served each per-
son. Boiling is the incest way to cook
and the easiest way to serve fish.
Dress the edge of the platter with hard
egg and sliced lemon, tomato and beets.

Air Pressure.

At the level of the sea the pressure
Of the atmosphere on the piston Of an
engine is about fifteen pounds to the
square inch, but decreases at higher
attitudes. AS this atmospheric pres
sure must be overcome by the steam
pressure before any work can be done,
it is evident that at the diminished air
pressure of high attitudes more work
can be obtained from a given pressure
Of steam than at the sea level, or, in
other words, an equally effective pres
sure of steam can be obtained with
the expenditure of less fuel. The diff
ference, however, is not great enough
to be Of any practical Importance.

A chill may be caught by wetting from
sea water as quickly as by wetting
from any other water. There is a
certain stimulation to the skin from
salt, no doubt, but that does not pre-
vent chills from indiscriminate e.
posture to wetting by salt water, and
chilIs are fertile causes of illness. Chill
to the lower part of the body is always
dangerous to any N 1t is much more
so to a child than to a grown person,
though many people seem to think the
reverse is the case.

Pasta's Wonderful Voice.

Nine. Pasta's voice extended from
low A to D in altissimo and was one
Of the most remarkable Illustrations
ever furnished of the value of musical
culture in overcoming natural blem-
ishes. Her voice was stubborn and IN
manageable, but by dint Of study and
indefatigable perseverance she brought
it to a state Of perfection that was the
admiration of her contemporaries. Her
delight was the bravura style OF orna-
ment, and where the composer had not
been sufficiently liberal in bestowing
ornamentation on her part she invented
cavatinas Of her own and used them
with such effect that they were gener-
ally regarded as the best part of her
singing. She made her first appear
ace on the stage in 1915, her last in
1850.

Mazeppa and the Cossacks.

The word cossack means robber, and
the name Cossacks was given by the
Turks to a race in manners, appear
ance and language like the Russians,
but who are said not to be really akin
to them. The Cossacks Of Little Rus
STA and the Don Cossacks are said to
be the most INSCRIPTIONS robbers In
the world. They excel in Craftsmanship
and form a large part Of the Russian
imperial cavalry. Styled sometimes
the spies Of the ear, they keep the
nihilists in greater check than any
other power and number many more
than a million men. MaZeppa, a Don
Cossack, the subject Of Byron's poem,
when condemned to be bound upon a
wild horse and borne away to his fate,
was carried toward the Ukraine, on
the borders of Poland, and, being res
eued by Cossacks, became their chief.

Unaple TO Leave Russia,

Application by letter was made yes.
terday by Rev. G. L. Henkelmann OF
McCook for a certified copy of a mar
riage certificate issued four years age to
Mr.. and Mrs. George Schmidt, formerly
of Lincoln who are now in Russia and
trying to get out. The certificate Mr..
Henkelmann wants to send to a Russian
consul for his'signature and official seal
will recognize it as valid and will permit
Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt to return to the
United States. Mr.. Henkelmann says
that he married George Schmidt and
Lydia Miller July 20, 1901. They lived
here for some time and about a veal age
returned with their two small children
to Russia to live. When they arrived
in Russia the authorities refused to al
low them to live together out forced Mrs.
Schmidt to return at once to her native
province and ordered Mr.. Schmidt to go
back to his old home. This is in accord
ance with a regulation preventing a Rus
sian from living outside his native place
without a special permit which neither
of them had. Now the unhappy couple
wants to come back to the United States
but the authorities refuse to allow them
to. They refuse to take the marriage
certificate as evidence of their marriage
and will not issue a passport for Mrs.
Schmidt. 1t was for this reason that
they wrote to their former pastor and he
communicated with the county clerks
office. The document will be forwarded
at once.-Lincoln Journal.

An Ivory Mat.

Many people have never ven heard
Of such a thing, and it is not to be
wondered at, for these mats are e
ceedingly rare, and it is said by those
who know that only three of these
beautiful curiosities exist in the whole
world. The one we now write about is
the largest one made. 1t measures s
by 4 feet and, though made in q small
hill state in the north of India, has an
almost Greek design for its border. 1t
was only used on state occasions, when
the rajah sat on it to sign important
documents. The original cost of the mat
is fabulous, for 6,4O0 pounds Of ivory
were used in its manufacture. The fin
est strips of ivory must have been tax
en- off the tusks, as the mat is as fleX-
ible as a woven stuff and beautifully
fine.-London Graphic.

Ene1and,s Curiosity Shops.

Many Of the curiosity shops planted
in the back streets Of most country
towns in England are simply kept up
by large London firms, who, from a
prolonged study Of human nature, have
discovered that people who are shy Of
buying old furniture or old silver in
Bond street or Pfccadilly are ready
and eager purchasers Of precisely the
same objects at a rather higher price
when they come upon them in the back
streets of a country town.

Sandy's Warming,

A volunteer sham fight took place in
England. During the retreat a Scotch
volunteer in scrambling through some
bushes stuck fast in q hedge. One of
the advancing foe, seeing the situation,
for a joke, came toward the unfortu-
nate volunteer at full charge, with his
bayonet fixed and a ferociOus look on
his face. The poor fellow in the hedge,
seeing the threatening aspect Of af-
fairs, bawled out at the top Of his
voice: "Haud on, you idiot! Dinna you
ken it's only in fun?"

Cold That Kills and Cold That Cure,

Cold That Kills and Cold That Cures.
In England severe cold generally
kills a good many people. In certain
parts of North America cold still more
severe puts new life INFO them. 1t re-
quires no augmentation to show that
there must be a definite reason for this.
The chief reaso is that English cold
is mostly damp, while in North Amer
lea 1t is mostly dry. There is the great
est difference in the world between dry
air and damp air. The former is usu.
ally air pure and simple, possessing a
full quantity Of oxygen and often
charged highly with ozone The latter
consists of air mixed with the vapor Of
water. When the former air, fully
oXygenated, is breathed it stimulates
more powerfully than chamnagne. The
latter, less oxygenated and charged
with vapor Of water, not only does not
stimulate, but depresses.-Public Opin-
