The new parliament elected for the

Eight different languages were used

GRAVEYARD WANTS TO KNOW
Why Women Refuse to Deny Rumors
Of engagements.

why DO women never deny an en-
gagement OF MARRIAGE" asked the
gray headed man. In these days OF
worldwide social gossip every day
brings the report Of some impossible
engagement which somebody has to
deny, and always the first denial comes
from the male half OF the fictitious
partnership How account for this
alacrity on the part of man to disclaim
all intentions of matrimonial ven
ture? Does Ii indicate a spirit of gal
lantry which prompts him TO relieve
the lady, so far as possible, of all trou-
bic and notoriety, or does it indicate
spirit Of misanthropy that prompts
him to hasten TO proclaim himself inn
pervious to female Establishments?
Personally, ! incline to the latter view.
But even that does not explain the
backwardness Of women in denying
these undesirable engagements.
In many instances the man in the
case Is unworthy any W. Al serious
considerations IL il clearly to her
credit to deny any shaue of entange-
ment with him yet no matter how

WEST LENDS TO EAST

Omaha, Neb.-The day has arrived
when the farmer in the west is lend

surplus of wealth, and the banks are
stacked up with his wealth, even as
his granaries are OVERLOOKING.
The state of Nebraska alone recent
ly in one week sent to eastern cities
81 100000 every cent of it on short

financial stringency there.
The demand for money by New

large Omaha banks Our bank has
carried a great amount of eastern

banks are doing the same thing. The
demand recently, however, has been
greater than ever before.
The deposits in Omaha and other
Nebraskan banks are 20 per cent
larger than a year ago, and money
never was so plentiful. The west is
particularly fortunate to have this
cash at this time, when loans in the
east are demanding good premiums,
and this condition is largely indicative
of the prosperity Of Nebraska agricul-
tural interests resulting from bounu-
full crops.
The Nebraska farmers are buying
more machinery, building material
and live stock than for many years
They have had several good crops in
succession. and they are all on easy
street. The sale Of their products
has brought much money to the state,
and this has gone mostly into local
banks, which carry their cash bal

few mortgages are held.
The money made by the farmers
has piled up in the banks until it be-
came necessary TO seek short-time
loans in the east Eastern borrowers
have not been slow to ask for these
loans, however, and eight of the
largest Omaha institutions receive
daily quotations on eastern securities.
Most of these loans are placed

funds have been used for other purp Sc s
than paying teachers salaries. No heed
hes been paid to the law governing the
expenditure Of this money ard the districts
which have offended are about to be
brought to account for it.
The law provides that the money re-

the payment Of teachers salaries only
In districts where the amount Of primary
money exceeded the teachers total sal.

instead Of leyying the usual tax They
now will find themselves face to face
with the proposition TO raise the entire
amount extending over all the years dur

NURSES BY THE HOUR.
New Idea in New York That Is Said
to Work We'll.

Some Of the up-to-date trained
nurses Of New York have adopted a
new idea As a general thing, all
trained nurses charge for their serv-
ices by the week. They are supposed
to remain in the home of their pa
tient and be ON duty practically every
hour during their stay This is ex-
hausting work, and frequently a
nurse is in state of collapse after a
week or two or constant attention TO
a nervous patient
Wellto-do families can afford to
pay for the nurses services by the
week, bat in a poorer family trained
nurse is a luxury that makes a deep
hole in the bread-winner's wages. In
order to relieve themselves of the
strain on their vitality and to put
their services within the reach of
limited pocketbooks, the modern
young nurse now charges by the
hour. I'm some cases a patient needs
the attention Of nurse only an
hour or two daily. For such atten-
ton one dollar an hour is charged
Where constant service is wanted the
regular weekly charge is made.
