Saloon League, which resulted in the
election of Shallenberger. The re.
turns prove that had Sheldon been
supported by such strong anti-aloon
counties as York, Polk and Boone, he
would have defeated the Democratic
nominee. Both Boone and Polk coun-
ties returned majorities for Shallen-
berger, who received hundreds of
county option votes. The combina-
ton that defeated Sheldon was made
up of the two extremes-the Anti.
Saloon League and the representatives.
of the brewery interests, assisted by
the element that always claim 'taxes
are too high" and for which, in their
ignorance, they insisted that Sheldon
was responsible. The fact that in
many counties throughout the state
there had been undue extravaganza in
the expenditure of public money, or
that the debt incurred by former state
fusion administrations had to be paid,
was not taken into consideration. It
is not likely that state taxes will be
any lower under the present state ad-
ministration, although Governor Shall
lenberger promised, on the stump, that
if elected the Democratic party would
so economic that taxes would be re-
duced one.third.
If the Republican party follows the
advice of the former governor and
declares for state wide prohibition, it
will give the Democrats Of Nebraska
the opportunity that party took adj
vantage of in Iowa when the question
of prohibition was submitted to the
people. Democrats will vote for the
measure for the purpose of putting the
Republicans in the "hole," and then
make the repeal of the prohibition law
an issue in the state campaigns and
retain control of state affairs. In
every northern state where the Repub-
licans have fathered the prohibition
movement in the past it has resulted
in the disorganization and defeat of
the party until the law was repealed.
That has been the history of the pro-
hibition movement in Kansas, Iowa
and South Dakota.

Progenitor Of Long Line Of Worlds
Most Distinguished Men Has Yet

thaniel Ward?

Who cracked the first joke in Amer
lea? The early records do not state.
We are not even quite sure as to the
first American who tried to be funny
on paper. Of course some Of the very
earliest colonists in both Virginia and
New England wrote humorous and
sarcastic accounts back home.
One might call to mind John Pory
Of the jamestown settlement, whose
letters to the home folks were quaint
~ witty: Francis Higginson. sturdy
old New Englander, sometimes dan
gerously near joking. and some would
say that William Wood of Massachu
sets BY his sprightly New England
Prospect (1634) deserves the place as
first of the numerous fathers Of Ameri
can humOr.
But the first man to do It with NAL
ice aforethought and with the inten-
ton of publishing also seems to have
been the New England preacher. Ma.
thaniel Ward (157S-1652). 1t was he
who wrote the first American book Of
humor. The Simple Cobbler of Aga
wam." Other books he composed, but
as they deal extensively in promises
of volcanic landscapes in the next
world they cannot with propriety be
called funny.
Ward was q widower Of consider
able standing in point Of time when he
perpetrated the Simple Cobbler,"
fact which may have some bearing on
the tenor of his remarks, of which
there are many. concerning women.
ITO speak moderately" says he. Il
truly confess it is beyond the ken OF
my understanding to conceive how
those women should have any true
grace or valuable virtue, that have so
little wit as to disfigure themselves
with such exotic garbs. as not only
dismantles their native lovely luster.
but transslouts them into CANT bar
geese. i'll shapen. shotten shellfish,
Egyptian hieroglyphics, or at best into
French flurts of the pastery, which

wear drailes on the hinder part OF
their heads, having nothing as 1t
seems in the forepart but few SPUR

saying that nine tailors make man;

their husbands. What this trade Will
answer for themselves when God shall

WITNESS OVERTHROW OF DEVILS
Crowds Flock to Peculiar Church
Ceremony In Spain.

At San Mateos, village of the
Spanish Levant. the annual fair for
driving out devils has just been held.
tens of thousands of peasants attend
ing the weird ceremonies. The little
church, lost in the desert village, has
an ancient chapel, famous for its
facilities for extricating devils from
the human Frame
When the time for the fair arrives
"the possessed" flock thither in large
numbers from all parts of Spain. This
year the greater part of the devil rid
den. asking for relief. were epileptics
and semi idiots. Then there were a
great number of small children afflict-
ed with St. Vitus dance, hysteria,
nervousness and similar ailments.
Tradition at the village church has
1t that those possessed usually har-
Dor seven devils. This multiplicity of
satans. say the Spaniards. makes it
impossible to cure the afflicted per-
sons by medicine. since the fallen
angels suck up every drop of medi-
cine that is swallowed by the sufferer
Furthermore tradition has it that
demons leave the human body only
by the finger tips. Hence at the an
nual fair cords with slip knots were
fastened to the fingers and toes of the
possessed. These were operated by
monk while the exercise was 60
Ing on. Most of the children cried
bitterly, though the pain caused was
not necessarily great. This was taken
as an indication of the demons un.
willingness to leave their hiding
places.
During the exercises the possessed
ones wore no clothes whatever, as the
demons might cling to such. As soon
as a knot became loose and slipped
from the finger all witnesses sent up
a hallelujah. being convinced that one
devil at least had departed his earth
ly residence. When all the fingers
and toes were free from cords the ex-
possessed was carried in triumph
around the church and outside and all
rushed to embrace and kiss him, or
her. while congratulating the individ-
ual on being free from demons and
the seven deathly sins.
