GILLILAN'S LOST TROUSERS.
Former Richmond Man Creates Stir and Has Lovely
Time Trouble of Humorist's Wife.

It's no snap-being the wife of a
humorist. Some days for instance,
Mrs Strickland W. Gillian, wife of
the former Richmond newspaper man
now dwelling at Evanston, in peace
and quietude, owing TO the absence
of her peripatetic husband. received
the following telegram:
North Platte, Neb, July 30.
Lost trousers on train, don't Jump
at conclusions, will write .Gilly.' y
Now wasn't that a STARTER? Per-
haps the fact that she had previously
had inane messages helped her bear
up under the anxiety caused by the
ominous message
A. few days later she got a letter as
follows:
Holdrege. Neb, July 81.
Dear Wife-Yesterday was a
nightmare. | was to go from Alliance
to North Platte, via Sidney. My train
was to leave Alliance at $40 e. m
and get me to Sidney in time to get
three or four u. p. trains out to North

one train you understand. Before re-
firing for the night at Alliance, 1
learned that the @. train was wrecked
and would be at least eight hours,
late. When / arose at dawn the same

bound to Kearney, Neb, to a wedding
that night We took morning train
part way, caught freight a few miles
further, then went the eight-hours-
late passenger overlook as we took
it, getting into Sidney just in time to
be two hours late for everything ex-
cept a fast freight and an evening
passenger. We took the freight,
which nobely completed its 123 miles
to North Platte in seven hours. 1
never saw a freight get fast any of

When we reached North Platte
my freight train (Which was loaded
with horses, leaf lard, wedding
guests. lecturers, travelling statesmen
and prunes) stopped out in the yards
to ice. 1t was a mile down town In

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing In harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve great victory.

The promiscuous killing of Indian
apolis policemen, has had its effect on
the force in general, and as result
three designations have been handed
in. The men who will cease TO don
the blue declare that they have no de-
sire to pose as dead heroes and prefer
not to be living targets for the guns
of toughs. From the repeated fail
ures of the Indianapolis police de-
partment to gather in criminals of all
sorts during the past six months the
impression is growing that the de-
partment must be in bad shape. Muir
ders have occurred, big house robber-
les and hold-ups pulled off, but ac-
cording to the newspaper record few
of the guilty persons have been appre-
hended. Perhaps it would not in
jure the capital city much if all the
police would follow the example OF
the three who yesterday resigned.

EYEGLASSES.
How to Put Them on and Take Them
OF Properly.

Oh properly.
There is nothing which more COM
pletely changes the effect Of pair Of
eyeglasses than the habit Of crowding
them on the nose with one hand. The
best efforts at fitting and adjusting are
all brought to naught by person who
has acquired that habit.
The proper way to take off glasses
is to take hold of the bridge and lift
off gently without dragging or pulling
out of shape. To take off spectacles
take hold of the right temple with the
right hand and lift it off the ear. Then
turn the head to the right and the left
temple will fall off easily.
The average wearer Of glasses when
he is cleaning them takes hold of the
bridge. The consequence is that he
gradually works the bridge out of
shape, and every rub he gives the lens
gives a twist to the bridge, and in
course of time the bridge or the lens
breaks when he least expects it. There
are probably more glasses broken in
this way than any other.
The correct way to clean them is to
take hold of one of the eye pieces
where the glass is screwed on the outer
edge and clean the lens, and then re-
verse the glasses, take it by the other
end piece and repeat the process on
that lens,
