Ten Years Hence.

Here is the way the papers will
write up weddings ten years hence:
"The bride looked very well in a
travelling dress, but all eyes were cen.
tered upon the groom. lie wore a
dark suit that fitted his form per-
fectly and in his dainty gloved hands
he carried a small rose. His curly
hair was beautifully done, and a deli
cate odor of hair oil of the best
quality floated down the aisle as he
passed. The young people will miss
him now-that he is married. He is
loved by all for his many accomplish
ments, his tender grace and his win
ming ways. The bride commands a
good salary as bookkeeper and the
groom will miss none of the luxur-
les to which he has been accustom-
ed. A crowd of pretty men saw him
off at the depot.-Ex.

PENNlLESS AND HOMELESS
At One Time Comfortably "Fixed,"
But Now a Wanderer.

Robert Davis, who at one time
owned the S0-acre farm just north of
the home of David Helmick, reached
the home of w. b. Williams Sunday
evening after walking from Colorado.
1t was his intention to find his old
friends, the Kimberlies, but the mem
bers of this family are dead or moved
away. Mr.. Davis left here perhaps
twenty-five years ago. On the way, in
western Nebraska, he lost his route,
and wandered about. He does not re-
member when he started, nor does he
know how long he was on the journey.
Once he was without food and drink
SO long that his throat parched and
his tongue swelled, and he lay down
and covered his head with his coat for
protection from the sun until the cool
of evening. Although of the same
name, he is not related to the Daniel
Davis family who now own the farm
which was one his home.-Stella

Reminisc ences.

The "Reminiscences of a Pioneer
a series of letters by Judge Isham
Reavis of Falls City, cover the early
history of Richardson county, and the
first making of Nebraska. These let.
ters have been intensely interesting
from the start, but the installment of
last week was better and more im-
portant than usual,
While these letters are being pub
lished in The Falls City Tribune, a
paper of large circulation In the
southeast corner, 1t is too bad that
they are not being republished by
some II of the metropolitan pap
ers of the state. 1t is understood
that they are to appear in book form

WHITAKER BROS.
Alfalfa Profitable.

A farmer near Stella has eight
acres of alfalfa, and has already made
two cuttings this year, each cutting
averaging about two tons to the acre.
He expects to make two more cut
tings, and each will make about a
ton Ito the acre, making an entire
yield of six ions for the season. Last
spring he sold alfalfa in the stack at
six dollars a ton, so that shows about
the profit per acre. Scarce five years
ago alfalfa could badly be considered
a crop in this section, but now Rich
ardson county is considered n of
the banner alfalfa counties of the
state. Many of the farmers about
Stella are now successfully raising al
falfa and some have fields of forty
to fifty acres.-Stella Press.

Cut To One Dollar.

The Lincoln Daily State Journal
wants a few thousand new trial sub
scribers and has cut it's prices from
now to Jan.1 1910 to only 81, or daily
and Sunday both, 81 .25. This is a
specially low price for such a news
paper and will result in a big bus
mess. The Journal stops when the
time is out SO that people need not
be afraid to take one of these spec
ial offers. Its not a trick to get you
started. The Journal has greatly en-
larged and improved each year and
has been having a wonderful growth
in its readers. Being the paper of
IL state capital it is especially the
paper for Nebraskans to read, and
it has an especially clean lot of read
ers because the paper itself is clean,
having cut out all liquor and object
ionable medical advertising. The
Journal is thoroughly independent, and
has been making a determined fight
to have our representatives at Wash
ington do something to lower the
cost of living.
If you want to read not only all of
the news of the world, but a practi-
cal, helpful newspaper, working N
the interests of the masses of Nebras-
kans try The Lincoln Journal until
January 1, 1910 at this cut price.

acres of land adjoining Salem, to

made in the county and the fact that

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss Of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
zeal wreck. DR.. Miles
Nervine quiets the irri-
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.

was going crazy. l could not sleep
nor rest at all. / tried different doc
tors, but failed to find relief. My

PRESIDENT AS A PREACHER
"A Soft Answer Turneth Away
Wrath, Is His Text.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-In the pulpit
of the famous Mormon tabernacle in
this city, where -four years ago Theodore
Roosevelt, then president, preached a
long sermon on right living and the
duties of good citizenship, President Taft
faced an audience which he said inspired
him to try to follow in the footsteps
Of his predecessor and deliver Il preach
ment.
Mr.. Taft did preach a sermon-text
and all. The immense audience in the
fagdraped edifice, the splendid musical
programme of operate and patriotic Sc
leetions, the enthusiastic cheering as
President Taft appeared and the quick
response of the audience to points which
he endeavored to impress upon his hear
ers, inspired him, the president declared,
with higher thoughts of country and
patriotism.
The presidents was an appeal
for amity between the people-for at
tributing the best rather han the worst
motives to the action of others when
possible to do so and not to harbor
hatred or animosity.

NOT FOND OF PIGEONS
Mayor Of Philadelphia Resents Inter
ference in His Efforts to Get
Rid Of Them.

Mayor Reyburn, who considers the
city hall pigeons a nuisance, and
would rid the building of them If he
could, considers the efforts of the anti
cruelty to animals societies to prevent
the pigeons being driven u as med
dlesoml, and sometimes sarcas-
tic in referring to h societies.
Recently. while the mayor was hold
ing his daily chat with the newspaper
men, several fire engines, with clang-
ing gongs, came laundering down
Broad street and around the city hall.
The pigeons. evidently frightened by
the gongs, flew excitedly around and
around outside of h mayors office
on the north side of the building.
AS the whirr of wings swept through
the room, the mayor exclaimed, half
smiling. but with an attempt at Sc
robustness:
My, The fire engines are disturb
ing the pigeons. Where is the Soci-
ETY. for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals? Such a trife as saving cit
liens property from burning shoul'
not be allowed to interfere with tn
peace of the pigeons."--Philadelphii

The Mississippi Orphans Home.

The board of educators of the Missis-
sippi Methodist Orphans Home, at it's
annual meeting, in reviewing the present
condition of the institution, found that
there are now 16O children in the home,
which is so crowded that in some cases
there are as many as three children in
one bed, and even then some AVE to be
placed on the floor. Three rooms which
were originally used for storerooms and
one ward of the hospital had to be con-
verified into bedrooms in order to get
along at alR In addition to this the
manager has received applications for
the admission of a great many more
children.
The necessities of the institution could
not be more urgent, and this condition
ought not to be tolerated or allowed to
exist by a great and cultured people,
such as constitute the citizenship Of the
State of Mississippi, and we do not be-
lieve that it will be allowed to exist any
longer than the time required to lay the
facts before the people.
