Nebraska May Have 'Vagabond City

the prairies, far from the temptations
of n large city. The size Of the In
stltution is not mentioned in the bill,
but its hackers think from 5000 to
10000 acres will be necessary once
the colony is in full working order. In
addition to q big farming area there
will be shops of all kinds, an iron
foundry, shoe shop, a book bindery,
n tailor shop, a furniture factory, a
planning mill and others Of this kind
The output of the colony will not
come in competition with that OF pri-
vate concerns, but will be used, in
great measure, by the state in the
different state institutions.
When one coming within those lines
is brought before the proper authori-
ties, instead of being sentenced to
the city jail or the state prison he
will be sent to "Vagabond City" No
fixed term of Incarceration will be set,
but the delinquent will be simply sent
to the city until he becomes self-sup-
porting, after which he will be sent
back to the world as a man able to
take care of himself. While in the
city" he will be taught an occupa-
ton or trade.

hours. admiring the bright'faced
girls and their lynx-eyed chaperons.
Under the circumstances the Amer
leans here are being treated with the
utmost consideration. 1t seems to be
the desire OF Mexican officials to re-
tain the friendship Of Americans dur
ing these days of minor internal dis
turbances, for the alienation Of Ameri'
can capital would be a worse disaster
than is likely to result from the in
surgents.
Any antipathy in this city toward
Americans comes from the lower
classes. the professional agitators and
malcontents. They sometimes rally
around the sentiment Mexico for
Mexicans," but here in this city this
element is in hopeless minority.
1t has developed since the revolu.
ton began that it was financed largely
by Mexicans who live in Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona. led chiefly by
Flores MACON, once sentenced to prls-
on in California for violation Of the
neutrality laws.
Since the trouble began less than
usual has been seen of President Diaz
and this started rumors that he was
very Ill and even that he was dying.
A few days ago when such rumors
were flying the President and Mrs
Diaz put an end to the tales by driv-
ing through the city in an open car
riage and going to a park, where they
walked for an hour.
When the revolution was forming
President Diaz said he would person
ally lead his army II the situation be-
came serious. That he has made no
move in that direction is taken as an
assurance that the high officials do not
regard the outbreak seriously.

Gerald Folwell came to a realization
Of the fact, presently, that his hosts
were making game of him. 1t was a
novel sensation. In college he had
been so popular because Of his ath'
letic prowess that they had not rag
ged" him. Perhaps an additional rea-
son for his immunity was his known
cleverness with his fists.
Since taking up his profession. engi-
neering, he had shown the ability to
get along with people and to command
respect. And yet here, up in the Mich
lgan jackpine wilderness, a couple OF
pseudo-woodsmen were trying to put
something over on him! And trying
It. furthermore, in the presence OF as
pretty a girl as one might wish to see.
The supper table in the log cabin
was enlivened by covert illusions to
his stiff hat, starched shirt and other
evidences Of a too-effeminate civiliza'
ton. The boundless presumption OF
the genus tenderfoot was also a sub
ject for much discussion.
Folwell did not mind It. at first.
Boys will be boys" he said to him

were as old as himself and one was
bigger So he chatted with the pref
ty girl and calmly ignored the young
men.
The joking became more personal
and offensive. He noted that the in
hospitality of her friends was becom-
ing embarrassing to the girl. A CLINT
appeared in FoIwell's eye. That meant
trouble.
When the meal was finished the
engineer strolled out Of the cabin.
Darkness had settled over the lonely
landscape. The snow was more than
knee-deep and a storm was setting in
"a grim, determined sort Of storm
more appropriate to December than
early March The wind was search
ingly cold.

plunged through the drifts to another
cabin a short distance away-a squat

county commissioner. county judge,
county treasurer and to all other
places.
However, the Indians were ut last
outgeneraled by the white men. The
red men were familiar with many
things, but they did not understand
the ways of the American railroad
builders. Lamro was promoted
while the railroad was still 20
miles away, but headed in that direc.
ton. In fact, the survey ran through
the spot upon which the Indians built
the town. But the railroad made a
detour just great enough to put Lam
70 off the line of road and the white
men built the town Of Winner on the
road and only three miles from the In
dian town. In the meantime Lamro
had grown rapidly and was a town
of 1000 people, with all sorts Of bust
ness houses.
The people living at Winner organ
lied a county seat fight and carried
the matter before the voters at the
November elections. BY agreement
between the two towns the loser
agreed to abandon its site and move
bodily over to the winner of the fight.
True to It's name, Winner won out by
a small vote, and the very next day
arrangements were begun for the
house moving.

TT Is a tremendous undertaking to
get a new play accepted and pro-
duced," once said the late Clyde Fitch
to a friend. $50 many are written,
and so few ever see the light of day
An English playwright with gift OF
humorous exaggeration illustrated this
fact to me once. He told me how he
submitted a play to celebrated &C
tor, and how in the course Of the
conversation the actor remarked:
Don't you think 1t is growing
chilly in this roomT
Yes. it is, rather the young play
wright admitted.
Then the actor rang a bell and a
servant forthwith appeared.
