SMILE WHEN YOU LOSE.
Then Brace Up and Start Right In to
Become a Winner.


Be as good loser as you are win
ner-a hard task to set man, put
not an impossible one. Many have
met it Those who have are those who
win more than they lose, for nothing
inspires success or victory like calm
ness in defeat or coolness under stress.
1t is true In business, In politics, in
sports, In any sphere OF competitive
cndeavor.
Not only that, but nothing is quite
as dlsconcerting to ones opponent In
one of life's contests as the ability to
lose with q smile and we'll directed ef-
fort to regain the lost. Any man who
has run foot race or boxed or wres-
tied or played ball knows that.
But nobody has any time for the
man who is forever lamenting his own
loss or defeat. The world simply cred
its him with being what 1t terms a
CROUCH" which means poor loser,
and passes him by for more agree
able man. Any one can be good win
ner, but 1t takes a man to be good
loser.
The philosophy of life Itself teaches
that in all of Its precepts. Some one
has to lose. 1t may as well be you,
perhaps, so far as the good Of the
world goes, as your neighbor. 1t
makes for unselfshness to Keep that
in mind.--Omaha Bee.

i Few Facts About the TuDeEcle
BACILLUS.

The law world has become possessed
At an ERRONEOUS, opinion OF the dangers
of tubercuIar Infection The Averages
layman seems to have the opinion that
he tubercle bacillus, (the germ OF
eonsumption) lived for an l9aelinaLs
length of time outside OF the IN
body. and that the germs continue 70
grow and increase in numbers. Ihat
Sbey move about of their own accord
and by the assistance of the winds,
etc That they are to be found every
where. That a single case Of tuDer-
ealosis in the neighborhOod Is apt 70
inject the entire community
I these supposed conditions. Ihey
seem to think that the air xnaled Dy
tie consumDtiVe is infectious and
dangerous. That in the neighborhood
II the consumptivess home. the tuD-
srcle bacillus is floating around IN the
air. And that the dust of the streets
is laden with these living germs
Let it be said to those Of who nold
to such an opinion, that you are
thinking and believing wrong. In the
first place the tubercle bacillus has
no motion Of its own accord. That
cut doors we do not find the living
germ being carried about by the
winds. That air exhaled by the con-
sumptive is sterile and harmless. That
the germ is not found floating around
in the air about the home Of the COM
sumptiVe, even though the consump-
dVe may be a careless one. That the
living germ of consumption has never
been found in the dust Of streets.
That the only place where we nnd
mfective air, is in the poorly ventilat-
ed and lighted roomSof a careless con-
sumptive.
The germ of consumption escapes
from the body of one suffering from
The disease. chiefly by means OF the
sputum. The sputum,-or spittlea may
contain but q few of these germs. or
1t may contain many of them. Always
most of those which are found IN
sputum, are dead before the sputum
aas been raised. But there are enough
present which are alive to make the
sputum dangerous if it is not proper

enc who is careless in the disposal Of
sis or her sputum.
Consumption is distinctly a house
disease, meaning by that, it is practi-
ally always contracted In some In
gosure where some careless consump-
i've has lived. You will notice that
ne word careless" is used in max

You are further pleased to ask why
none Of these charges, and evidence

In view of your deliberate mis-

Fl ask that you publish this letter,
and that you further retract your.
statements that was either remoV-
ed from the Elections Committee by
Speaker Walser, or that the Senate
Committee on Judiciary ever made an

armation al a Federal Court Judge.

to dry and become powdered into-hne
dust, then that room will become dan
gerous to all who may occupy it. But
even then, the danger is hssened In
proportion to the amount Of Ventilla-
ton and light that such q room re-
eeived. The better the ventilation
and the more light admitted, the less
danger from that room. Fresh air and
sun light are the greatest enemies to
the germ OF consumption, for they kill
1t quickly. And dead germs certainly
can produce no disease.
So, IL you are q cOnsumptive, have
a care that you always expectorate m-
to something; a cup. a paper or some
thing In which the sputum can then
be destroyed, and do not let any Of the
ksputum get on the floors or walls, and
your room will be safe from infec-
ton. This has been demonstrated in
the leading sanatoria. where thou
sands of consumptives have been
housed, and where such Ire is al
ways exercised, yet non Of the rooms
have aver become infected. Also, in
such sanatoria, none of the physicians,
nurses or attendants have aver con-
tracted the disease from the patients.
This latter fact goes to show also that
consumption is not a contagious di-
sease, as so many people seem to
think. If it were, all the doctors
would be dead with the disease, for
the frequent contract or the physi-
clans with cons1mptives would ecr-
taiply have brought about a contrac-
ton of the disease If it were a con-
tageons disease. Every case of con-
! SUMPTION in existance today is due
to the fact that there has been some
consumptive before4 them who did not
try to destry the sputum.

Dear Sir:
In the last issuel of the Caucasian
you are pleased TO make certain re-

These you have q right to make un-
less they should be s~lanerOus in their
character.
You say in the editorial referred to
Walser In the legislature of 1895 to
remove me as Chairman of the Com
mite on Elections because / refused
to take action on a single contest
made bTa Republican or Populist.
Anexamination of the Journal will
show you that this statement is utter
ly false. I was I'VE removed from
that or any other committee by Speak
or Walser.
You will find upon further exami-
nation that several contests were act
ed upon by the committee and that
both Populists and Republicans were
promptly seated.
You will also find that those com
testants who had no legal cause for
contest and who insisted upon being
seated simply because they were Re-
publfcansso Populists were not seat
ed and that in every report made /
was sustained by practically theunim-
imous vote of my committee.

ator Butler was very much incensed
that ! refused to consider as evidence
ex parte afidavits made by irrespon-

cases. and requested Speaker Walser
to increase the Number of the Elec-

This was done without any objection
on my part, but the1committee, as in
creased. continued to stand by me In
every report made.
Where contestant made out his
case In accordancewith the law and
the evidence he was seated. otherwise
not.
You are further pleased to say that
when appointed u. 8 Judge the
charges againet me we're of such a SER
GUS character that the Senate Judicf-
airy Committee made q unanimous re-
port against my confirmation.
This Is also absolutely false. The
