follows
To the Senators and Representatives.,
Thirtieth Session of the Legislature Of
Nebraska:
l am pleased to greet you upon this
occasion. l appreciate beyond expression
the confidence the people of Nebraska
placed in me at the last election 1
appreciate deeply the high honor thereby
conferred upon me. and [ wish to thank
my friends throughout the state for the
loyal and enthusiastic support they gave
me during the campaign. | feel espec-
tally grateful for the assistance and sup
port of the loyal republicans and the in
dependent voters who belong to other
political parties than the one to which |
have the pleasure of belonging and by
which l was nominated.
TO the members of the legislature de-
sire to offer few suggestions, which, l
hope and trust, will be taken in the same
kindly way and with the same good will,
as they are given.
You will remember that we are pledged
against extravaganza and bound not to
raise any more taxes for current expenses
than will be necessary to conduct our
state government under the most rigid
economy. The total estimates for current
expenses during the next biennium made
by the heads of the several institutions
are so large that it will be necessary for
you to investigate thoroughly the needs
of these different institutions before MAX
ing the appropriations. Promiscuous
1unketing is expensive and i'm the past
has not given beneficial results 1t Is,
therefore. sincerely recommended that II

The National for January is snap
py' number. Affairs at Washington"
by it's editor, Joe Mitchell Chapple, is
exceptionally strong in character; and
several additional pages are added to
this department, giving to the reader
an insight into the affairs at the Ma
tional Capital such as can be obtained
from no other publication. "Cuba's
Malady" is the title of one of the most
timely articles of the month, and is
written by John Vavasour Noel, who
has been in Cuba for some time. and
has made n study of the conditions
that led up to the intervention by the
United States. Kate RestieauX con-
tributes an interesting article upon
John Greenleaf Whittier, the great
American poet. Charles Warren Stod
dard furnishes one of the best stories
he has written for many months, UNI
der the title of Caprice" The
Bright Side of Packingtown,' by Mary
Humphrey, gives the reader an intellig
ible idea OF conditions, and is so widely
different from the sensational material,
that all good people, except those who
are looking for yellow literature,
will appreciate the article. The
Home Department" is, as usual, full
of those helpful hints that we all want
to know. The editor adds to the
Happy Habit" articles set of Res
olutions" which are good for all living
beings. The number is filled with the
very best fiction, among which might
be especially noted, the story "Revers.
ing an Engineer" by c. C. Johnson;
The Poor Mans Cow" oy Miriam
Shelly; "A Comedy in the Air" by
Charles McIlvaine; His Client" by
f. Blnney de Forest; as well as other

The Wnvalid Crawl"

Alas! Somebody in England with
nothing better to do has invented a
new walk and it is being taken uu
here, says the Philadelphia Telegraph
At the start of practice a girl must tie
weights to the bottom of her skirt. In
walking she must appear to be SO
weary that she scarcely can drag one
foot after another. Her steps must be
long and creepy, without the slightest
lint of energy. Thus walks Queen
Alexandra, who adds slight limp, as
she has been lame since infancy. 1t is
limited that ianguid movements were
designed to hide that defect. Gowns
must be of stuff that gives a clingins
effect; then the slow, long step, with
a bending of the neck at every stride.

Americans Profanest.

DR.. Madison c. Peters in his sermon
in the Majestic theater declared that
profanity was New York's most popu.
lar sin. In fact" he said. the Ameri.
cans are the profanest people in the
world
"a distinguished missionary from
India, upon his return to America,
heard man using profane language,
and accosting him, said: This boy
was born and brought up in heather
land, but in all his life he never heard
man blaspheme until now"
This is utilitarian age. We ask.
does swearing pay?
Men tell me that they don't mean
anything by their profanity. When
people are awake and do things with.
out meaning to do them they give
visible signs of insanity York

Art of pyelna Due to a pon.

A dog gave us the art of dyeing
cloth. One afternoon, so many years
ago that the date is of small conse.
quence, noted man and his sweet
heart went for a walk along the sands
of the seashore in far-off country
A little dog trailed along at their
heels, and, becoming weary of much
love-making, finally ran ahead and
went fishing among the rocks. One
particular shellfish, which he cap.
tured and devoured, exuded fluid
which dyed the hair about his mouth
pretty purple. Investigation of this
incident founded the science of dye.

feminine world the pleasure of flaunt.

All Listen to Proctor.

Probably the most remarkable voice
in the senate is that OF the senior Yer.
mont senator, Redfield Proctor. 1t has
been called a boiler factory voice, bu.
that description does not begin to do il
justice. When Mr.. Proctor speaks
every senator in the chamber listens !;
he cannot help himself. The only way
he can avoid hearing what he says is
by leaving the building. A faint whis.
per from Proctor can be heard distinct
ly in the press gallery. His voice is a
deep bass and is preceded generally
by low rumbling sound that seems to
come from some far-away subcellar in
his anatomy. Then the words pour
forth with great rapidity with the
jarring force of small thunder claps.

Engineers are harnessing many of
