The bicycle. the electric car, and the

Of the hOrseshoer. This is another ex-
ample Of mechanical inventions only in

Horseshoers are getting higher wages for
a shorter work day than ever before
Nevertheless, good horseshoers are be-
coming rare. This Is all in accordance
with economic theory. New devices do
not reduce and may extend the market
for the old. Thus the utilitarian uses Of
the bicycle increase. while its cost and
price have fallen. In Europe, the develop
ment OF the bicycle in this direction Is
noticeably large probably because the
working people there are more keen on
saving their pennies than here and with
their excellent roads and the low price

Nature seems to be awful relentless
at times, making . calamity out OF
nothing, and demanding the extreme
penalty where the lighter payment
might have been made to satisfy the
demand.
Robert Rigg, apparently rather
nice appearing young man. went wrong
and was placed in custody Sunday, and
was being held in the county Jail. His
father, c. NJ. Rigg, superintendent Of
the Beatrice Creamery at Beatrice, Ne
braska, arrived Wednesday. for the
purpose of helping his boy. He walked
up from the depot to the court house.
and returned as far down town as Mr..
Labaree's store, where he conversed
for few moments and dropped dead.
The boy saw his father walk past near
the Jail window, but they did not meet.
Shortly after, while the boy was look
ing out of his cell window, he saw men
carrying body from the store to the
morgue. He knew it was his father.
Mr.. Rigg was subject to heart
trouble, but seemed robust and strong
for one of his years, being 65. Mr..
Styer is preparing the remains to be
shipped to Beatrice for burial.
The mother died several years ago.
Justice Hinshaw has allowed the boy to
go on his own reconizance.

Women in Adversity.

Women should be more trusted and
contided in as wives, mothers and sis
ters. They have as quick perception
of right and wrong and without always
knowing why, read the present and
future, read characters and acts, de-
signs and possibilities, where man sees
no letter or sign. What else do we
mean by the adage mother wit, save
that woman has quicker perception
and reader invention than man? How
often, when man abandons the helm in
despair, woman seizes it, and carries
the homeship through the storm! Man
often flies from home and family to
avoid impending poverty or ruin.
Women seldom, if ever, forsake home
thus. Woman never evaded mere tenn
poral calamity by suicide or desertion.
The proud banker, rather than live to
see his poverty gazetted, may blow out
his brains and leave wife and children
to want, protectorless.
Loving woman would have counselled
him to accept poverty, and live to
cherish his family and retrieve his for
tune. Woman should be counselled and
confided in. 1t is the beauty and glory
of her nature that it instinctively
grasps at and clings to the truth and
right.
Reason, mans greatest faculty, takes
time to hesitate before it decides; but
woman's instinct never hesitates in its
decision, and is never wrong where il
has even chances with reason. Woman
feels where man thinks, acts where he
deliberates, hopes where he despairs,
and triumphs where he fails,

Musings of the Gentle Cynic.

You can generally tell that man Is
big gun from the way he doesn't t
shoot off his mouth.
Some people never even pay their re
spects without acting as though they
ought to have a receipt
| A man is apt to doubt that woman
is the weaker vessel after he has wit
messed the outpourings of her vials OF
wrath
Some men keep all their enthusiasm
bottled up in their hip pocket.
| The skate is a saltwater fish, but
many fresh water fisherman gets one,
just the same.
1t is sometimes difficult to distinguish
between opportunity and temptation.
| Many young couple agree te marry
who never agree about anything after
ward.
The dignity of labor may be all right,
but lots of men are not hankering after
dignity.
| If God had intended us to tell all we
see He wouldn't have given us two eyes
and only one tongue.
Every cloud may have silver lining.
but that fact isn't so important as to
get in out of the wet.
When girl jilts young man he is
apt to do something desperate, such as
taking to drink or marrying some other
girl.
If you are going to pin your faith 20

The man who is satisfied to make
good living is the happiest man in the
