THE OFFICIAL BALLOT.
Places on Ticket Not Determined by
Secretary of State.


In preparing a sample ballot form
Secretary of State Wipf placed the Re-
publican ticket first on the left Of the
ballot following it with the SOCIALIST
ticket and others across the ballot.
The secretary has been receiving pro-
tests from Democrats as to the ioca-
ton of their ticket on the right or
the ballot The form prepared by Sec
rotary Wipf is only as a form, and the
location of the different tickets on the
ballot is one of discretion of county
auditors. They can arrange the TICK
ct in any place on the ballot they
choose, placing the Democratic ticket
first if they so desire. The ballot
sent out by the secretary is not one
which fixes the ticket location in any
way, and those who are DESTROYS or
having any special location on the bal
lot must make their arrangements
with their county auditors.
On the constitutional amendment
ballot they are arranged by the sec
rotary in the same order in which
they will come on the abstracts for
the official returns, and any change IN
that order will cause confusion.

load of hogs worth $50 from F. B.
Reese, of Miner county, farmer by
whom he was employed. The hogs

A Buttng Property.

lowing story on himself:
Once ont in Nebraska, ! went to pro-
test against my real estate assessment
and one Of the things of which | par
ticularly complained was assessing a goat
at SIS | claimed a goat was no real
property in the legal sense of the word,
and should not be assessed. One of the
assessors. a very pleasant faced old man,
obligingly said | could go upstairs with
him, and together we would go over the
rules and regulations and see what could
be done.
1--WE looked over the rules, and finally
the old man asked:
Does your goat run loose on the
roadsY
well, sometimes,' said I, wondering
what the penalty was for that dreadful
offence.
Does ne butt?' again queried the old
man.
Yes. | answered. he butts

The Photograph Handkerchief.

Now it is the photograph handker-
chief Already some very pretty collec-
tons have been made, and besides, scores
of pretty articles of house decoration
have been constructed out of them. The
photograph handkerchief lends itself to
variety of usese.
AS its name implies, it is a photograph
on a handkerchief. Although for some
little time heads have been reproduced
on satin cushion covers for screens and
the like, not until now has it been pos
sible to go into photograph gallery
and have ones picture taken on hand
kerchief.
The uses to which these handker.
chiefs may be put are many, not the
least interesting Of which is TO make
the cover of sofa or divan cushion il
ones own room of squares of linen or
which the likenesses of ones best friends
appear. Or there may be series Of
poses Of just one person.
Quite a bit of sentiment attaches tC
the fad. The exchange of handkerchiefs
as well as the making of collections Of
them, is likely to become as popular a
the collecting Of postal cards.

Feminine Graces.
That Are Attrac-
tive to Men. A Source
of Income.


II is practically the duty of every one
to learn some accomplishment. We owe
to society something i'll the way of en-
tertanmcnt for what it offers us. We
are enabled to give pleasure and prove
of benefit in numberess ways If pos
sesscd Of some accomplishment, and last
of all, but by no means least important
of all, the accomplishment learned to
while away idle hours frequently proves
a means of livelihood in times of mis-.
fortune.
The wise girl will find out what ac-
complishment she is best adapted for,
and then really endeayors to shine in
that. She will make it an unending
source Of pleasure to others and win
many friends through it, and when the
hour comes that finds her alone in the
world and without means, she has a
source of income ready to hand.
The majority of girls so situated i'm
agine that they are not sufficiently pro-
ficicnt to make use of their accomplish
ments. They lack the courage to make
the most of little knowledge, and en-
deavor to add to it.
The girl who can play or sing inine-
diately casts about in her mind for prob
able pupils These may not readily ma
terialize, but in the meantime numberless
women are only too glad to have some
pleasant girl help entertain their friends
with music; accompanies are at pre-
MUM, but for singers and players upon
stringed instruments benevolent institu-
tions and certain hospitals are only too
glad to pay some one to play for inmates
of such places when music cannot be had
free, and there are schools without num-
Der, both private and public, which need
a pianist, not as teacher, but to accom-
pany the singing of the pupils, their
marches and many of their physical ex-
ercises. The girl who can play just a
little has wide FIELD in which TO earn
living.
Singers and players upon stringed IN
struments have much the same field, ex-
cept that theirs is more restricted, and
the singer is ever in demand to help with
Jolly topical songs at small entertain
ments, and to sing at funerals. This last
is very profitable
Then there is the girl who learns just
a little painting and drawing, She, too,
feels hopeless about getting enough put
pills to support herself if suddenly left
to do so without any preparation for such
a task. Few of these girls know that

WAYS get number Of women to EN-
her services for certain hours IN the
or evening, and may also teach 4
in the graceful art OF reading en-
tainingy. IL
The woman who Is an accomplid
housekeeper seldom realizes that shI
lust the one thing that numerous hot
holds covet, and that her life may ny
easy places if she only turns her acc
plishment to account III the ri
channels.
Once a young doctor went about !
vising all his patients to do embroid
"Why don't you learn to embrolde
said he. 1T is just the thing you 4
ouire to occupy your mind without ol
taxing it, and il does not require
effort. 1t is much better for you t
exciting yourself, reading, or sit
about brooding over your i'll health.
Presently all the women he atten
were industriously making pink silk ~
on linen centerpieces. That struck
as being the triumph of elnbroid,
Then some of them began to inquire I
the doctors reasons for advising
broidery. Crochet is twice as ca
said they, "and not half as tatiguli
1t was discovered that the doctor
just married a charming young I'll
who did the loveliest embroidery ina,
able, and that pink roses on center pi'
we're her speciality.
If the man of science can be tans
in skein of silk or strand OF crof
worsted, men Of all sorts become
thralled by the girl who can sing top
songs in a sympathetic manner H.
hearts are instantly relieved of care
they begin to fancy how jolly life VIC
be at the side of charming girl '
could sing a coon song whose !.
would dispel the blues from the most
purpled mortal.
Not one man in ten thousand is pr
against the destinations OF the girl y
can play such music as he can unt
stand and enjoy. Even the man
can and does understand the trium
OF great composers rendered by s.
pathetic hand, likes to hear simple m
dies played by some girl who enters
the spirit of them. He likes to rest n
and body and let his spirit soar a
the wings of music into worldso Sc
ment and sweet sound. 'r
The girl who entertains well, howe
il she is really sympathetic in spirit,
tivates all hearts. Every man loves
be entertained, and the woman who
derstands how to do this with the !,
apparent effort is quite as popular as
singer and She who can discourse
vinely upon instruments both keyed
stringed.

original designs Of very simple kinds are
probably sold to manufacturers OF fancy
articles, decorative embroideries and lace
houses. There is always a large de-
mand for original menu cards, dinner,
tea and luncheon favors, cotlllon favors,
entertainments where decorated cards can
be used for special purposes, the CARDS
being appropriately decorated to SUIT the
occasion; lamp and candle shades OF all
kinds, fancy boxes for candy, stationery
and an infinite variety of other things
to say nothing of the vast variety OF SILK
and satin articles decorated with PANT
ing, the screens and panels and fancy
bits of useful prettiness which may be
SO easily decorated with brush or pen
China painting offers large field Tor
artists in that branch of painting, and al
most every millinery and dressmaking
establishment finds use for girl who
can paint flower decorations upon gowns
and their accessories. Designing for
wall papers, carpets and the like requires
a special education, which is not hard
to get, but the amateur artist will be
more successful if she does the simpler
forms of decorative work which require
originality of design and harmony OF
color rather than correctness OF drawing
or carefulness of execution.
A girl who has no gift for singing,
playing or painting may always learn
the art of entertaining, than which few,
if any feminine accomplishments, are
more appreciated. We all love the girl
who has a charming manner; who. is
ever ready with clever or amusing
story, and has the tact of knowing just
when to tell it; who can recite some
thing to suit our every mood and who
has the knack of getting congenial spr-
its into conversation. Such girl is
ever in demand in society, and if she
is ever thrown upon her own resources
to make a living she can make capital
of her art of entertaining, and very few
will ever know that she is being paid
for her accomplishment of aiding some
hostess to a successful evening.
Such girl can also get any number
of engagements to engineer entertain
mentS of various kinds for charitable
and benevolent pu poses, for club affairs
and the like. Women on committees are
only too thankful to employ the services
of one who can attend to matters that
vex the souls of most people and make
things run smoothly TO successful con-
clusion.
The girl who has learned to read well
is possessed of rare and delightful &C
complishment. Almost every one loves
to be read to, and aside from the good
that can be done through this accomp-
lishment girl who reads well can al
