"Dennison, Texas, Jan. 19.
To the Editor of the Pioneer
DEAR SIR: Nebraska is a good
state, and there is no doubt that
many energetic men have become
wealthy there.
l was talking with a man who
came from Indiana, about fifteen
years ago, and settled near
Omaha. He brought S., 600 in
cash with him. He said he
thought be could clean up. 800,
600 in cash at the present time.
He bought q section Of land south
of Omaha, on the ins tallment plan;
and he now has it all under cul
tivation. I asked him if he was
a farmer, he said yes, kind Of a
one; he let the other fellow do the
work and he handled the money.
He was q banker. I told him
that was undou btedly what ac-
counted for his success. I had
understood that bankers were
the only men in the world who
could get rich on collecting the
interest on what they owed He
said that was a fact. He had only
SIS, 600 capital. but he was in a
good place and run the business
well, so that the people had coz
fidence in him, and now the de.
posits amounted to $4,000. Five
thousand dollars of that amount
had to be held in the bank, the
remaining SIS, 900 he let out at
10 per cent interest, the interest
amounting to $500 per year,
which helped some. In running
a national bank, as he did now, ii
was even better.

of US who were strangers in
Omaha went over to see the great
packing plant of Armour & Co

Brother Andrew arose at 2 o'clock on
Wednesday morning and went to the
abbey chapel for prayer His duty
there accomplished he repaired to his

Then the flood gates were opened and
the old monk now grown gray in the
service of his master broke down and
wept like child The old heart beat
refused to be stilled, the old longing
to look once more at the beloved of
his youth took possession of him and
earnestly, eloquently, with strength
borne ,of his great love, the old monk
pleaded to go back to see once more
the dear face bf his sister Permis-
sion was granted, and he left for the
great city to- look once more into the
dearest eyes he knew in all the world.
But he was too late. Word reached
the city that Mrs. Sheehan was dead.
