What Forty Cents Did

Two weeks ago Miss Lille
Oswald brought a four line local
to this office and it appeared in
the Tribune twice. The little
ad offered a house and three lots
for sale. Monday she notified
us to discontinue running the
same, as it had brought her a
buyer and the property had been
sold.
A short time ago Mrs. Howard
Long advertised turkey eggs for
sale, and in few days her eggs
were all gone and she was still
receiving orders by mail and
telephone.
Advertising in the Tribune
does the work.

SUNDAY WAS MOTHERS DAY
Many of Our Citizens Wore a White
Flower

Sunday was Mothers Day.
The object of setting apart one
day each year to be designated
as Mothers Day, is to honor the
mothers of the country, each
man wearing white flower,
preferably a white carnation, in
honor of his mother.
The movement started i n
Pennsylvania in a little church,
which was attended by an old
| a d y whom everyone called
mother. When the old lady
died a special service was held
in the church on Sunday in her
honor and it was called. in mem
ory of her, Mother Sunday. a
young lady, Miss Anna Jarvis,
now of Philadelphia, was then
attending that church, and she
conceived the idea of having
one Sunday in each year to be
called Mothers Sunday in hon
or of all the mothers of the
land.
Last year was the first gener-
al observance of the day. No
proclamation was issued byGov
ernor Sheldon last year because
he was in California at the time
and the acting governor of Ne
braska did not issue it. But
this year Gov. Shallenberger
issued the proclamation and
many at this place were seen
wearing a pure white carnation
in honor of mother. 1t is a
grand move, God bless t h e
mothers of our country.

Mombasa, British East Africa
Mombasa is preparing already to well
come Theodore Roosevelt, and his
coming has given a decided impetus
to the interest in the present hunt
ing season.
The Governor of the protectorate,
Lieutenant-C Colonel Sir James Hayes
Sadler, is arranging program of
welcome and entertainment for the
distinguished visitor, but in spite of
these arrangements the greeting to
Mr.. Roosevelt will be more to the
great sportsman, whose fame is well
known to local hunters, than to the
former President.
East African sportsmen were high
iy gratified to learn that Mr.. Roose-
welt had refused the offer of the au-
thorities to grant him a special hunt
ing license that would have permitted
him to kill game to an unlimited eX-
tent instead of combining himself to
the two elephants, two rhinoceroses,
two hippopotami, ETC., of the regular
license. Lions and leopards are
classed as vermin and consequently
no license to kill them is required.
The white population of Mombasa
has heard much of Mr.. Roosevelt's
personality, and in joking way fire.
quent references to the "big stick
are being made.
The rains are late this year, and a
heavy fall is expected (the regular
time for the big rains" is from the
end of January to the end of April)
The prospects for good hunting this
season are considered excellent. Many
of the settlers in the outlying dis
tricts, realizing the increasing inter-
est in the prospects for sport because
of the coming of Mr. Roosevelt, are
voluntarily sending in information
about the movements of game.
According to dispatch received
here record group of lions, number
ing thirty-two. was seen on the Nandi
plateau recently at point about fifty
miles north of Port Florence (the
Nandi plateau is on the west side of
