A MARVELLOUS STORY.

I've heard Of some wonderful things In
my time.
And rye heard of some wonderful men.
And no doubt shall read Of them again.
I have heard
That was known as the roc
That would lay
Eggs that covered a block,
But the marvel tell is not one that re-
To be. heard with the blind faith of
Yet I knew of a plumber who never de-
sires
To go back to the shop for some tools.
I've read Of mirases that hang DER the
That towers and minarets swing close at
And beholders can pick out each place:
I've been told
OF the gold
That the Aztecs have hid,
And Of the wealth
Placed By stealth
In the big pyramid.
But the marvellous man that 1 greatly
Is a plumber who laughs at the rules
And declares that he hasn't the slightest
desire
To go back to the shop for his tools.
I've read OF airships that skim through
the sky.
ana OF submarine DOaCS tnat can 0lVes
have heard OF great jewels that no one
can buy
Kicked round in a wild heather hive;
I'm informed
Bees have swarmed
In a snowstorm in Wales,
And that mice
Once or twice
Have tied knots in their tails.
have heard of tame cats that sang
sweetly in choirs,
And of chickens that padded In pools.
But I know of a plumber who never de-
To go back to the shop for his tools.
Many wonderful things have come into
my ken,
But this plumber is chief of them all:
He's entitled to rank with the worlds
greatest men
In the riches that are in flames hall;
You may think
That I wink
AS tell this to you,
But each word
That you've heard
Is remarkably true
1t is something. I know. that should set
up fire
OF amazement in all Of our schools,
For 1 know of a plumber who doesn't de-
sire
To go back to the shop for his tools.

If the people living in the Second
ward do not desire the construction OF
a sewer, it's hardly right for the city
council to force one on them. To
certain extent they have a right to
cave out their own funerals. But on
the other hand the construction of this
sewer might be an expediency in the
interests OF the public health, and in
less civilized countries such matters
are forced upon the people, and proper
ly so. because 1t is judged that they
are not capable of deciding for them
selves what is best for their welfare.

Mr.. Ripley. the distinguished presi-
dent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company, declares that it
will be impossible for the railroads to
cut the wages of their employees with
out bringing on disastrous strikes and
that this is not to be thought of under
present conditions. Mr.. Ripley is I'M
doubtedly correct in these conclusions.
But there are more ways than one of
reducing an employees wages without
cutting the per diem scale he is paid
under union and other agreements.
This can be testified to bv the Santa
Fe shopmen and the shopmen as well
as other classes of employees of other
railroads. who have had their pay re-
duced to frail figures during the past
two or three months by layoffs for
longer or shorter periods.

Something of serious handicap
confronts Mr.. Bryan and the Demo-
Gratis at the beginning of the national
campaign. It's the present outlook for
support from the big newspapers OF
the country. With the Hearst papers
against the Democratic candidates, as
they give every evidence of being,
there are only two important papers
in the country that can now be count
ed on as out and out supporters of the
Nebraskan. These are the New York

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.1

GFrom the New York Press.1
The best rule about bringing up
your children is not to have any.
Half the time the reason a girl
wants to marry a man is he doesn't
want her to.
Anyway, a woman does as well at
obeying her husband as he does at
cherishing her.
There never was aithin woman who
would admit that she was that way
all over.

Philosophers arise upon all sides

flap their shimmering wings and they
fade into inert innocuousness. The
tidal wave OF time-clammy, cruel and
inevitable--surges DER their forgotten

the thin ether of the illimitable cos.

dodge the ever-hurtling egg, and then
shut up forever. Alas!
