Johnaon,s opinion of Rousaeau.

One evening, at the Nitre, Johnson said sarcasticaIly to me, "It seems, sir, you have kept very good company abroad-ROusseau and Wilkes" I an- swered, with a smile: My dear sir, you don't call Rousseau bad company. Do you really think him a bad man? ?" Said Johnson: "Sir, if you are talking jestingly of this don't talk to you. If you can be serious I think him one of the worst of men, a rascal who ought to be hunted out of society, as he has been. Three or four nations have ex- pelfed him, and 1t is a shame that he is protected in this country. Rousseau, sir, is very bad man. 1 would sooner sign a sentence for his transportation than that of any felon who has gone from the Old Bailey these many years. Yes, I should like to have him work in the plantations" From BoswelPa ''Life of Johnson"

$1,5oo WORTH OF PELTs.
Eight Barrels Sent to the City on
 Tuesday by W. H. Shippee.

He who deposes that this section is no longer profitable for the trapper of fur bearing animals to operate in knows not whereof he speaks. There is still big money to be gained by those who engage in this near pioneer occupation even in highly civilized and cultured Windham county.
 Eight barrels containing several hundred belts of various marketable varieties and valued at $1,500 (whole- sale). were sent out from the Daniel son office of the Adams Express com pany, Tuesday morning. This lot rep resents 4nly such collections as ". H. Shippee of North street has made in the past three weeks. MT. Shippee buys the raw furs from the trappers professional and amateur, and they come to him from all of the surround ing country. As MT. Shippee is only one of several buyers in the county but one of the largest. it may be cas- fly imagined what the total col1ec- tions for a full season would bring in the big markets. There surely is money in furs.
 MT. Shippee's collection sent out on Tuesday contained specimens of near- Iy every variety of Delt ot<uinable in this section of New England. Many were of skunk, which is now a much more valuable fur than it used to be, the average pelt bringing the trapper S2.50 to $3, while much higher price may be obtained for the all blacks Fox, mink, muskrat coon, squirrel and a few otter were also included in the lot.
 MT. Shippee and two assistants spent all of Monday stripping the pclts from board forms and preparing them for shipment.

Housed in Pullman cars and fed In
dining cars, all at the company ex-
pense, about 100 "scab" boilermakers
are pretending to work at the Have
lock shops. The company couldn't af-
ford to pay old and trusted employees
in the boilershops paltry cents an
hour increase, but it thinks it can
stand the expense of transporting 500
or 600 "scabs" from the east, feed
them and pay them from two to three
times the scale asked by the striking
boilermakers. 1t wasn't case of pay
ing fair wages-it was merely case
of busting a union.
Monday morning three car loads Of
"scabs" reached Havelock, and were
Immediately marched into the shops
under strong guard. Sleepers and
diners had already been set in for
thir accommodation. A strong guard
has been thrown around the shops
and everybody approaching is halted
by some arrogant pink" armed with
pick handle and doubtless with a
"gun" AS boilermakers the import
ed"scabs" are huge jokes, and a more
impudent, grace'ess lot Of men never
disgraced Lancaster county.
One "scab" endeavored to pry out
a broken rivet with the pIade of pen
knife. The foreman who observed the
act chided the "scab" for working that
way, remarking, "You must be an al
mighty poor boilermaker."
WHOM HI told you was boil
maker?" grinned the "scab." I'm a
candymaker."
The rule against smoking in the
shops has always been rigidly enforced
but the "scabs" are violating 1t with
impunity. The superintendent sent q
messenger over to the boilershop Mon
day after noon with orders that smok-
ing must cease"
Get tell out of here" growled he

Prominently displayed in the win
dows of several Lincoln stores may
be seen photographs of the gradual
ing class of the Nebraska State Agri-
cultural College. And fine healthy,
brainy lot of yong men and women
they are, too. Time was when the
average city youth loved to yell "Hay-
seed" at the country cousin. Today
it's almighty hard to tell the differ
ence between the young farmer and
his wife and the young professional
any, in looks and action being in
favor of Mr.. and Mrs. Young Farmer.
The estate Farm" is working an evolu-
ton in agricultural circles. It is the
biggest asset Nebraska possesses, and
if about 1900 young men and women
would cut out a lot Of the Latin, Greek
botanical, geological, classical and art
flub-dub and put in two or three years
at the estate Farm" it would benefit
them and the state. Talk about Skill
ed trades!" Why, farming has got
'em all skinned now. Time was when
a farmer was a man who plowed and
sowed and reaped-reaped when he
could. Today farmer must be a
scientific agriculturist and have a
business head so long he has to go
out doors to turn it around. With his
trade-or profession-well learned he
can and does back the skilled mechan-
les of the cities off the boards when
it comes to making the mazuma. That
bunch of graduates turned out by the
estate Farm" this week will be worth
more to Nebraska in the years to
come than all the legal sharks and
medical sharps that can be turned out
