The supreme court of Nebraska be-
lieves that the express companies

people than do the railroads. The Ad-
ans express company has handled
more than siXty-seven million transac-

has carried 100000 packages from
New York to San Francisco. There is

 Nothing is more essential .O travel than money. The railroads have not yet offered free transportation. hotels exact a certain reasonable charge for their accomodations, porters must be put in a good humor, and smile Ob- tained from the waitress. All these things necessitate funds. Now, there is scarcely anything more awkard than to be entirely out of money. Numbers have had the sensation, so it need not be described But there is one thing more aggravating still, and that is to have money, and not be able to get it. Checns make identifica- tiOn necessary for the protection of the hotel keeper who accommodates his guests, and sometimes identification is hard to produce. This perpleXing matter has been forever settled by the National Hotel Keepers Protective Association of New York, which is sues letters of credit to travelling men and others, making it a simple matter for members of the association to fill their purses and go on their way re joicing. supplied with the necessary, loaded with that which speaks all

Albany. Ore.-How many pins can man find in a year if he picks up all he sees? c. O. Lee. eX-chief of police of Albany. has one answer to this problem. In Albany. which the government 1910 census says has A. 275 inhabitants, Lee found 4.5SO pins in one year.
 During his service as a police of ficer in this city. Lee formed the habit of picking up pins as he walk ed along the streets and every day he found dozens of them.

 Although the general public will never realize it. hotel managing is fine art The building is not as essential to the success of a hostlery- as affability in it's employees. and some men have gained such reputa- ton for ministering to the comfort of their guests that they could enter tain the best people in a tent house. with d million dollar resort next door. So much for personality. MT. A J. Judd, hookkeeper of the St. Nicholas hotel at Prescott, is spend ing d few days at the Commercial, and it is meet right and the only proper thing to give him a write-up in a column devoted to hotel guests and hotel people There are few hotel men in the territory better known than MT Judd. and none bet ter known for being a good fellow. He has been connected with d number of hotels during his long stay in the territory. and invariably brings pat rOnage to the house employing him. This owing to his willingness tO take al step or two to answer an inquiry, or do d favor. He answers Mrs. Poorly with the same courtesy he beStOWs upon Mrs Bigwad. which is not only gentlemanly but an eminently scrip tural manner of doing business In stead of popping out his words like a GattIing gun-Mr. Judd served three years in the Civil war-he rolls them out with a smoOthness that causes his remarks to strike his auditors ear drum gently, and not with a startling thud Such personal qualities have made MT. Judd popular, and they will continue to make him popular, as they would any other man, as long as he remains in the territory. He came down last Sunday morning tO attend the Grand Army encampment, and leaves for home tomorrow morning af- ter spending exactly one week in the capital. He likes it here,-but is too loyal to Prescott to hold forth in a lauditOry manner on the beauties and advantages of Phoenix.

Books on a Shelf.

Books are frequently ruined thro ugh
carelessness. This is less in the han
ding often than upon the shelves
Books should not be packed tightly
on a shelf. 1t ruins the back and
causes them to tear loose with the
strain Of getting in and out Often it
forces the leaves to sag to the shelf
when pushed unduly. 1t is just as bad
for books to be too loose on a shelf, as
they warp, and the spreading leaves
encourage dust. A bookcase with the
contents at every angle is not a pleas
ing sight There are some housekeep-
ers who think a yearly dusting Of the
books at housecleaning time sufficient.
This is bad enough when they are
kept under glass; when on open
shelves it means ruin to valuable
books. It takes little longer to dust
the backs and tops Of books on each
shelf every day. Use a soft cheese
cloth or silk duster and shake it fire.

Bigger foghorns for larger boats are
set in a box, the box containing a bel

is operated by hand. A lot of noise
this foghorn makes, to be heard for a
