Nebraska

Notwithstanding the heavy run of
10000 cattle in Chicago Monday and
the fair receipts here our market has
made gain of 5 to 10 cents. Trade
is active and buyers are out after
them. This is accounted for somewhat
by the fact that outside buyers are
bidding at this market now. There is
a sharp decline in stockers and feed
ers this week. We quote:

A Valuable Inirmity.

The art of making the best of
everything is, in every day life, con-
sidered cheerful and desirable ac-
complishment. In trade, however,
such optimism is not regarded with
favor, especially by the victim of
bargain. A good illustration of in
genuity in an attempt to turn to
good account a veritable drawbacks
is given in Captain Barnaby's "On
Horseback Though Asia Minor"
The author, preparatory to his ex-
petition, was buying horses of
Turk.
Get on that little bay and try
him." he said to his servant. AS the
man went on a trot, the captain
heard u noise which quickly con-
vinced him there was something the
matter with the horses wind
THAT animals a roarer," he said.
"Effendi," returned the Turkish
dealer, 'it is true he makes a noise,
but he is stout and strong. He will
make a capital pack horse"
AS the horse was sound III every
other particular and as a roarer will
serve for slow marching, Captain
Barnaby decided to buy him; but he
told the owner that the fact of the
creatures broken wind deteriorated
from its value, and he must take
something from the price.
"Deteriorate from the value." ex-
claimed the Turk, glaring ferocious-
ly. "On the other hand, effendi, it
is an advantage, He does make q
little noise, bit that is nothing.
Quite the contrary. When he goes
out he never runs over blind beg
gars. He gives warning of his ap-
proach, and they get out OF his
Way."

WHEN TO STOP KISSING.

marriage a true lover is supposed to

Kinling as a Hoodoo Man.

Kipling is in reality a caster OF
spells-a man with an "eyil eye"
His pose as II poet and a novelist is
a mere disguise, says Tit-Bits So, at
least. believe the fishermen Of Massa-
chusetts; and this is why:
He wrote a book entitled Cap
tains Courageous" In 1t he vividly
described the lonely lives of the fish
ers off Newfoundland, and he named
twenty boats which were actually en-
gagged in the fishing industry. Since
the publication of that book every
one of those boats has foundered,
and the superstitious survivors of the
crews are quite convinced that Kip
ling is what they call "a hoodoo"--
which is the :lale equivalent of a
witch.
They are helped to this belief by
the fact that curious flash seems to
come from the pupils of the great
poets eyes-a CLINT which often
strikes an observer, when caught in
certain lights, as being quite un-
canny. The explanation of this
flash" may be, however, that Kip
ling's weak eyes compel him to wear
divided lenses in his spectacles, and
the glitter of light on the sections of
glass would unnerv- many a man
less imaginative than fisherman.

disease spread to four different parts of

him the worse it grew. During the day il

Evils of College Training.

We pass to what Mr.. Roosevelt
terms the normal function" of Har-
ward College, namely, the function
Of turning out each year many
hundreds of trained men who
shall possess the trained intelligence,
and especially the character, that will
enable them to hold high the renown
of an ancient seat Of learning by do
ing useful service for the Nation. For
the right discharge OF that function,
what kind of spirit, what sort of hab-
its, what principles, what aims,
should be inculcated? Mr. Roose-
welt Is quite right in saying that it
Is possible to harm young men as
well as help them by sending them to
college. Ii in TIE case of any indi-
yidual 1t is paten, that his university
training has produced a taste for re-
fned. idleness, q cisincllnation to sus-
tanned effort, a barren intellectual
arrogance, or sense of supercilious
aloofness from the multitude of
strenuous men who do the worlds
work, then, obviously, his college ex-
perience has injured that particular
person. OF such injury we have seen
examples. What we want to know is
how a university can minimize the
chances of such injury, and what
more it could do, or ought to do, than
1t does now, to a. a youth to play a
worthy part In life. - Harpers

A common nail is an excellent illus

and new methods, Formerly the metal
was cut into strips and then forged
into shape with hammers, and an ex-

Strips are cut with steam shears and fed
into automatic nail machines. One man
