THE BARBECUE AS PURLIC IN
STRUCT0R.

That the barbecue, from one OF its
special features, the speech making, is
for general good, is unquestiunable
That this is not always the case is
very much to be dcplorcd, fer, il it is
allowed to bc otherwise, the day of
The barbecue must soon close. At Il
barbecue recently attended, by al
least 800 people, at Delmar, an
orator, speaking in favor of the Dis

fragments Of the liquor laws in pro-

States statistics in full, that is of
the number of prohibition trans,

WHY the statistics were given for
Massachusetts together with Maine

In many respects they are superior to
the ditch, especially where the slope
of the land is considerable. Water
may flow at a good velocity down the
fume and yet be delivered to the dis
tributing burrows as desired. Auger
holes are bored through the side of the
fume flush with the bottom at points
where water is to be delivered to tho
burrows. A swing gate or stop placed
on the inside Of the fume covers on
partly covers the hole as may be de.
sired. A cleat across the bottom be-
low each hole swings upon a nail
through the middle in such a way that
1t may be used rs a movable dam to
increase or diminish the quantity of
water discharged at each hole. This
is a favorite method Of distributing
water with many, especially in gar
dens and fields where a great number
of drop boxes will otherwise be re.
quired. A lume one foot wide with
six inch sides can be built for about 7
cents a foot This plan does away
with the use Of both drop boxes and

quite a stir within the circle Of State
employees, many Of whom, if the ex-
ecutive decides to enforce his new
rule and make 1t apply to those now
In office, would find themselves de-
prived of their employment. A whole
sale pledge-signing has been suggested
by some Of the more penitent, but to
this plan the objection has been raised
that 1t would amount to a practical adj
mission Of guilt, and that the mere
signing Of a pledge might not mollify
the Governor.
Gov. Mickey Is the type of the self
made westerner. Endowed with only
a common school education, he enlist
ed as a mere youth in an Iowa cav
airy regiment and served three years
in the Civil War. He emigrated to
Nebraska shortly after the close of the
struggle and took a homestead in Polk
County. Frugality was one Of his
strongest traits and in less than ten
years he had amassed a competence.
Then he branched out and moved to
the county seat, Osceola, where he
purchased a part interest in a bank,
later becoming its entire owner. He
continued to prosper and to-day he Is
the heaviest land owner in Polk Coun-
ty, besides owning its strongest bank
ing institution.
The Governors parents were Metho-
dists Of the old school, who looked
upon many of the worldly pleasures,
such as dancing and card playing, as
sinful practices, and the son retained
the same views. When the Governor
was inaugurated be revoked the ar
rangements for the customary inaugu-
raj ball given by prominent Lincoln
citizens at the State Capital in honor
of the incoming Governor. He said
simply that he could not consistently
maintain his standing in the Methodist
Church If he co~untenanced the inaugu-
raj ball. Upon his being installed in
office for his second term he approved
Of arrangements for only a public re
ception at the State House, and the
executive and his wife stood at the
head of the receiving line.
Gov. Mickey, perhaps, is the most
popular layman in the Methodist
Church in Nebraska, which denomina-
ton is stronger, numerically, than any
other in the State. He has frequently
made large gifts to. the cause of the
church, and his bene1cence has been
largely responsible for the creation and
prosperity of the Nebraska Wesleyan
University, an institution in the SUBJ
urbs of Lincoln where a thousand stu
dents attend.

born at Verona, N. Y, and was brought
up on a farm, attending school only
during the winter months. For a time
he was an errand boy in his brothers
grocery-shop at Troy, but in 1887 he
started a store Of his own, and soon
became a wholesale dealer in groceries.
He served as alderman in Troy, and
also was treasurer of the county, and
in 1853-57 was a Wing member Of Con-
gress. In 1868 Mr.. Sage came to New
York City and began his career in
Wall street. Now he is a director In
over a score of large corporations, and
many persons say that actually he does
not know how rich he Is.

The Convenient Telephone.

The rural telephones are making a
change in farm life. A Shelby County
Kansas) farmer got into trouble In
town the other day. Later he was
called up over his rural telephone and
informed that a warrant had been is
sued for him and that he might con-
slider himself under arrest, and he was
asked by the officer If he would come
into town or would he have to come
after himf The farmer asked the ma
ture Of the charge, and wal told that
1t was disturbance and that the fine
and costs would be $14. The farmer
telephoned back that he was too busy
to quit work, but would plead guilty
and send the money by the rural car
rier the next day, and he did.

Alma-Tadema,s Discovery.

Great vigilance has to be exercised
by the antiquarian painter. This wal
demonstrated by Sir Lawrence Alma.
Tadema's picture, "The Finding OF
Noses" Looking at the picture, a
well-known botanist examined with
admiration the painting of the life-like
larkspurs which form the foreground
and then turning toward the artist and
congratulating him on the successful
rendering, pointed out that larkspurs
were of a comparatively recent
growth. The painter laughed as he
replied: $50 l thought until dried
specimens of them were discovered In
some of the recently explored royal
tombs Of Egypt"

falter in them after he had attained
that goal.
In 1916, when the war with Mexico
began, New Hampshire was called on
for a battalion of troops. Franklin
Pierce. although he had been a United
States senator, and might have gone
into the war In command of a COM
pany, enlisted as a private in a vol
unteer company. By the time that the
battle of Contreras had been fought,
on Aug. 10, 1S47, Pierce had risen to
the rank Of a brigadier-general.
At this battle of C%ontreras the Next
can general. Valencia, with 1000
trained troops, occupied a strongly in
trenched camp. General Pierce led
his brigade, 1000 raw recruits, who
could not use the artillery. against
the 1000 trained soldiers, who rained
shot and shell down upon their oppon-
ents. To reach the enemy the Amer
leans were obliged to cross a lava bed,
brlstling with sharp, splintered rocks:
that gave shelter to the Mexican
sharpshooters. Pierce's horse stepped
into a cleft between these rocks,
throwing his rider, whose knee was
seriously injured. But Pierce reso-
lutely refused to leave his men.
Mounting another horse he continued
toward the intrenchments.
Through that day and the next, des-
pite his injuries, Pierce remained in
the saddle, leading his men on to vic.
tory.
