Speaking of Florence Nightingale

special mention of her mission in be-
half Of the open window at night. In
the early years Of her labors much UNI
intelligent opposition to this method
of ventilation because of the supposed
harmfulness Of the night air was ex-
pressed, but Miss Nightingale had one
stock argument in support Of her posi-
ton, it being the question, "What air
shall we breathe at night but night

opponents point Of view, even If it did
not always convert them, but it did

Leap Year Proposition.


Since you're the first and only man I've
asked
To share my fate.
Please contemplate
The almost herculean task
1t seems to tmid maiden modesty
To pop the question!
The mere suggestion
Would once have seemed grave impro-
priety.
But what spinster maid would scorn to
do
At sweet and twenty,
With chances plenty,
Looks sensible at twenty two
and two!
This is so sudden? Well enough I know
That's but pretense.
Not innocence.
How many times I've said that-years ago!
Don't beat about the bush and say, I'll
see
I don't want that!
Just answer pat,
Will you or won't you kindly marry me?
Or, If you think it isn't right to do
Things just this way.
I'll change and say.
What you've said oft. please let mo
marry you!"

LOVE MAY Dw,NDLE TO NEG.

A Fl. little does the maid suspect
"A That love may dwindle TO neglect

With doting pa ssion sought one day
And on the morrow cast away.

The Suffering Wit.

They are revfving the old anecdote
about w. r. Travers, the suffering
broker. concerning his discovery that
Henry Clews was proud Of the fact
that he was q self-made man. Next
time he met the banker. Mr.. Travers
eyed him intently.
WELL" inquired Mr. Clews. impa.
tiently, what IL the mAtter?"
is 1t t-true that you are q self-made
m-man?"
Certainly. replied Mr.. Clews.
"-Wwell. while you were about It.
w-why didn't you put more hair to
top of your head?"
Mr. Clews. who had been invited to
q famous fancy dress ball, met Mr..
Travers and asked for . suggestion
as to the character he could best rep
resent.
"S-say. Clews." stammered his
friend. why DIDN'T you sugar coat
vour head and 20 as q ppill?"

received from the National Committee
and the amounts sent to the different
counties. The chairman Of the Re-
publican Committee Of Platte county,
Mr.. Dickinson, il credited with having
received $500 from the State Com
mittee. There was no secret about
this, and no effort has been made to
deny it. There is no reason to suspect
that the money was not spent for legi-
innate campaign expenses. The COM
mittee expended about $5S for print
ing which was divided about equally
between the Tribune and Journal.
The balance, $242, can no doubt be
accounted for by Chairman Dickinson,
who, it is understood, stands ready to
publish an itemized statement of ex-
penditures. IF the National Banks Of
Columbus contributed money to Mr..
Dickinson for use in Platte county,
his report to the public will doubtless
contain the amount. The Journal
believes that Chairman Dickinson
would not be averse to publishing .
sworn statement of the receipts and
expenditures of the Republican cam
paign in Platte county, and thus set 1t
rest the assumption on the part Of the
Democrats that . big campaign fund
was used in this county on election day.

SPLIT SOLID WALL E0GEWl9E.
Endless Cord Used to Saw Two Build
Ings Apart In Paris.

In order to set at rest the com
plants Of the Inhabitants Of adjoining
houses. Q remarkable engineering ex-
pertinent has just been carried out
successfully BY . power company &C
cupying . house In the Rue st. Roch.
This house. like many old buildings
In Paris. did not have side walls Of
It's own. These walls, constructed of
heavy masonry. were shared with its
neighbors to the right and loft
, A . result, the three adjoining
buildings were practically one. BY the
same token the engines in the power
house sent their thud and vibration
through the entire mass. keeping
neighboring tenants awake and driv-
ing away trade.
A master quarryman who happened
to b visiting the manager Of the pow
or house accidentally heard of the
complaints, and At once proposed q
remedy. to isolate the three buildings
by splitting the connecting walls from
top to bottom. He was used to such
operations In his quarries. and he pro-
posed the use Of an endless helicoit
cord such - u commonly used In ex-
tensive stone-sawing operations.
This suggestion was adopted and
has Just been executed with perfect
success. 4 perpendicular slit, two
inches wide and 20 feet deep, now COM
pletely isolates the power house. Ten
ants Of the neighboring houses say
the noise and vibration Of the power
house engines have completely dis
appeared.

INCREASE THE SCOPE.

INCREASE THE SCOPE.
The Lincoln Star, the leading daily
paper of the capital city, favos in
creasing the scope of the agricultural
colleges. As Nebraska is at present
without an agricultural college worthy
of. the name, the Star might have
added that it favored . liberal appro-
priation for an educational institution
of the kind referred to in one of the
several towns Of the state that have
been mentioned rs suitable locations.
The Star, in commenting upon Life
