LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. ? CspeciaD.-For
some reason the Nebraska chicken crop
this year IL worth 1,S1 less than a year
aFo' when the assessor made his rounds.
one explanation of the decrease lie the high
price OF poultry. which may have caused
heavy sales. as the figures given repre-
sent the poultry on hand. Lancaster tops
the counties with 1851 worth on hand.
against 81, 22o last year. Then comes the
big state Of Gage" with s12. S72 worth.
against t12,+ 7 last year. Douglas county
Is third with 81, os2. against I'll. 80 last
year.
With Scots Bluff county missing the
total value assessed Of all poultry on hand
this yea amounted to 1884, 01. against a
total Of ts7.92 last year. The total last
year with Scots Bluff county was $685.
sss.
The actual value Of the poultry crop this
year IL five times the assessed value, or
S1.sZ3.oO5.
The poultry is worth more than was the
sheep In 1908 more than the annuities, than
the bonds, fire arms. patent rights water
craft. almost as much as the steam en-
gines, more than the safes and typewrlt-
ers, safes or adding machinee; more than
the typesetting machines, and two-thirds
n h1uCn as ue bOok accounts ana more
than all the money loaned in the state;
more than the money invested in judg-
ments, in tax sales, money paid into build
ing and loan associations; stock in corpor-
ations. cash registers, pictures and en-
gravings. telephones, billiard tables, or
gans, almost as much as all the pianos in
the state, more than is Invested in auto
mobiles. And the business is by no means
o~verworked.

I fain would now thy eggler be,
And build for thee a cosy nest
A cottage, not of great eggs-pense,
But one eggs quisite-sweetly clean,
While far eggs ploring house and
Should run the lovely egg-lantine.

Pray deem me not an egg-OtiSt-

And cen shouldst thou eggs-tract-

THE MERRY HA-RA CURE.
Idea All Right-Troub!e Is to Get the
Prescription Filled.

I'SoSi 'PItofl TlileO.
1t is all very well for a German doc
tor to prescribe hearty laughter as a
remedy for nervous diseases, but per-
haps he will also be good enough to
tell us where we are able to get the
ingredients for his prescription.
One cannot well sit down and laugh
till the tears run down the cheeks
at nothing at all, however anxious to
cure a severe attack OF neuralgia.
When one comes to think of it, saws
the Lady's Pictorial, few things make
one laugh to this extent, and what is
one persons meat where hilarity is
concerned may prove so poisonous to
another as to plunge him to the very
depths of depression.
There are people who will double
up with merrimenl when thew see
some one else fall down flight of
steps, and afterward describe it as
the funniest thing they ever saw"
but most nervous patients probably
would not laugh at all if in order to
erect cure an attempt were made
to excite their hilarity by throwing
relatives and servants down stairs.
Nerve specialists who adopt the
laughter cure will have either to nrac-
tice c!ownne or keep trained fools to
set their patients in a roar"

Away thy sorrow fling
For in triumphant gladness
The bells Of Easter ring!

The stone is rolled away
That barred the grave-the prison

Ring out, o Bells, the story
To earth's remoiest parts
Ring out it's solemn glory,
And say 10 human hearts
That see no rays of dawning-
Whose life in darkness gropes-
The Resurrection morning
Awaits cur buried hopes,
When through deaths opening portal
And from the riyen sod.
We rise to life immortal,
In Christ. our risen God!

egg wins all the others which their

Suddenly out of the right hand win

The light thus taken from the Holy
Sepulchre is instantly carried to all

Property Owners Can Save None,
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen-

But, nine times out Of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated

TO avoid all such trouble, every
houseowner should know in general
way, when a surface is in proper con-
dition to receive paint, what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
