pied by Mr.. Cobb.
Under the terms of the trade that
was made Mr.. Cobb secured a ranch
near Douglas, Morrow county. The
ranch consists of a section of wheat
land and so acres of alfalfa land 1t
is the intention Of Mr.. Cobb to en-
gage in farming and he will devote
his time to caring for the ranch. He
has been led to do this largely
through failing health. After he has
recovered his health he will enter the
mercantile business again.

The "Movina Picture Eye"

The oculist as we'll as others have
discovered new disease which they
have named the moving picture eye.
1t is an affection of the eyes which
comes from too great familiarity with
the five-cent theaters, where the en-
tertainment is largely by means of
moving pictures. Individually l have
experienced the trouble, but so sell
dom as to mean nothing. But others
have told me that half hours stay in
a moving picture theater always gave
them a headache and that headache
must have come through the instru-
mentality Of the eye. 1t is we'll known
that specialists often associate head
aches and kindred troubles to defective
vision. 1t looks to me as if the mat
ter rested upon pretty fair foundations.

Net So Very Precious.

A New York hotel is going to have
enough gold dishes to serve a dinner
OF seven courses to rs persons. OF
course, this suggests moralizing on
prodigal luxury and illusions to Lu-
cullus and Apicius and also to Bel
shazzar. But there was a time when
even kings dined from trenchers. The
Introduction Of pewter was probably
denounced by the philosophers of the
day as prodigality, and while silver
is not commonly used for dishes from
which persons eat, it is in such gen.
eral use for the larger pieces and for
spoons. forks and drinking vessels
that the use of silver must represent,
as compared with the previous Gus
toms, about as great an increase of
expenditure as the use of a gold din
ing service does now. The precious
metals are not so precious as they
were once.-Philadelphi Record.

poa Rides on Horses Back.

There are many dogs that have an
easy time in New York. many that are
pampered. but few of them attract pub
lie attention more than does a bull
terrier that is the property of down
town truck driver. First OF all, the
drivers pet is always clad in fiarins
red blanket. and SO wherever he goes
he is sure TO be seen. The blanket is
a thing apart, however. Always when
the truck is being hauled through the
streets the dog may be seen perched
on the back of the horse. with his front
feet just abaft the horses shoulders.
There he balances himself whether
the horse be walking or trotting and
barks in giee.

Woman Lawyer Triumphs.

Mdlle. Helene Miropolsky, the wom-

triumph in securing the acquittal of a
Breton girl. named Marie Thepault.
who, in a moment of anger, plunged a
carving knife into the breast of a
scithless lover named Maurice DUBIOUS
set. The persuasive eloquence OF
Mdlle. Miropolsky moved the jury to
tears. Members of the jury stopped
the advocate, and said they did not
wish to hear her further, as their
minds were made up. For mere form S
sake they retired to consider their
decision. Five minutes later they were
back with the verdict of not guilty,
which the foreman blurted out in the
intervals of drying his eyes.

Wisdom Of Dancing Masters,

The dancing masters should be
proud of themselves. and no enyious
arrow Of disdain. such as the provincial
belief that they have no brains, can
ever reach them now. They said: If
the skirts are so tight that ladies' can
not take long steps, let them take
short ones. And thereupon it was de-
creed that waltzes, polkas, two-steps.
Mendelssohn spring songs, Salome
slides, jigs. rigadoons, liebspiels and
all such should be danced with shorter
steps until such time as fashion shall
permit ladies' to recover the free use
of their -, but why go further? The
dancing masters have established
their reputation by their sapientissimic
judgment.
