Wet Currency

The First National Bank ON
Menday received shipment of
currency from Washington which
had evidently been in the recent
floods all over. When the curr-
ency arrived in Julesburg it was
so wet that when it was placed in
a press water was squeezed out of
same. The currency had been re-
wrapped at st. Louis where it was
received in a damaged condition.
The First National placed tha cur

forenoon to dry and it caused Il
great deal of comment and atten-

w. C.. T. u.

At the last meeting of the W. c. T. U.
the study was from the ::Medical Tenn
perance Quiz"
A few of the questions with abreviat-
ed answers are given below.
l. Is it necessary for a person to
take whiskey sling when they have
a cold?
No. Hot lemonade is the best poss-
ible drink in such cases. Orange juice
should be used freely as it hinders the
development of pneumonia.
2. Is alcoholic liquor useful to
warm persons exposed to cold wealth
er?
No. This has been conclusively proved
by Artic explorers. Alcohol robs the
body of its heat by driving the blood
to the skin and so cooling more rapidly
than is natural. Liquors are not now
part of Artic equipment.
3. Are wines or beer good for people
who have stomach trouble?
No. 1t has been shown by repeated
experiments that they make digestion
much slower. DR.. Chittenden of Yale
University found that very small
quantities of Claret, sherry and lager
beer make digestion slower.
a, Is whiskey useful in LaGrippe?
No. 1t has been found that when
whiskey is given in this disease there
is great heart exhaustion and feeble
ness and pneumonia often follows.
5. Is whiskey useful as remedy IN
snake-bite?

Hon. j. o. Ewing, of Burkesviile,
Democratic candidate for the State
Senate, and Mr.. Robert Antle, Of Rus
sell county, Republican candidate for
the same position, addressed large
audience at the courthouse here Mon
day. Mr.. Ewing took up the matter
of taxation and showed by figures
that the common people were burden
ed with more than they could we'll
carry, and stated that if he went to
the Senate he would use his influence
to reduce the cost of living. His
speech throughout was full of sound
ideas, and was heartily received.
Mr.. Antle followed Mr.. Ewing, de-
Tending the Republican party, but
stated he was for retrenchment and
reform, and that if heshould be elect
ed he would make the best fight he
could for the tax payers of the dis
trict. His effort was complimented
by many Republicans who heard him.

of poetry. Now comes writer in a
western farm paper with the follow
ing well-deserved tribute to the plow:
Civilization begins and ends with
the pillow. Emblem of the worlds
greatest and most fundamental indus
try. the piOw brings man the first
fruits Of the earth, precedes and
maintains commerce, manufacture
and trade. Its use measures the Ma
tion's greatness, gauges its power and
prevents an ebb in the tide of progress.
Without the pillow the railroads would
become streaks of rust, cities would
decay, social and political power be-
come legends, wealth would decline
and the farmers home would give way
to the hunters cabin.
"But the pillow is powerful onlJ as it
is used. With it continents are SUBJ
dued, civilization established, wealth
created and morality and religion
fostere d. Without it our acres be-
come idle, weeds and brambles replace
the crops, hard times come, panic
presses and civilization passes away.
San idle acre is like an idle man

There is a constant cry of hard
times, and many predict that poor
people and stock will suffer this win
ter. There is not particle of danger
of any body suffering. We will all pay
little more money for food and we
will manage in some way to get the
wherewithal. From the best infor-
nation we can obtain there is more
than half crop of corn on most up
lands, and In the bottoms, one farmer
told US few days ago, that a full
crop would be gathered. There are
not many hogs and cattle in this coun-
ty, hence the usual amount of corn
will not be required. With but few
exceptions the wheat crop was good
throughout the county. There is an
old maxim, good one, "Neyer hoist
an umbrella until it rains"

The most of some peoples time is
spent in "bacbiting" or saying harsh
things about their fellowmen If you
have anything to say about anyone
go to him and say it. Don't slip
around in a round about way and
make attacks upon his character. He
not only will look upon you with more
respect, but the world will respect
you more, that is, if you are worth
respecting. The man who makes this
his chief occupation is terribly in
significant creature. His condition
certainly is pitiable one, and he is
to be pitied If you are going to be a
man, be One. Look the world square
in the face and if you have ought
against her speak it! That's the kind
of men the world is demanding, this

Ingratitude is the debt that some
men pay to industry and fidelity.
There is ingratitude in the home, in
public life, and, in fact, in every
sphere of mans activity. Gratitude
to God and our fellowmen for favors
bestowed, awaken in man all the finer
sensibilities of his nature: ingratitude
kindles in him the fierce fires of hatred
and Indignation, and opens the gulf
of enmity, separates him from God
and places him in an unenviable light
before the world. o, IngratituGe,
thou base destroyer of mans nobility,
thou hast no place in mans vocabula-
ry. Like the singing rebuke admin
istered to wine in Holy writ, sit
biteth like a serpent and stingeth like
an adder"

Friendship.

An unknown writer thus pictures
friendship:
The most beautiful thing in life is
true friendship: and the most despi-
cable is that pretended friendship
which is manifested by the fellow,
who courts you as long as he can use
you, as long as your kindly counsel
and endorsement will aid him along a
difficult pathway, and when frequent
ly through no merit of his own, but
by virtue of some fortunate circum-
stances, he reaches position of CON-
parative independence, assuming a
Self-impartance that does Linn no
credit, ignores the friends who helped
him in his lean and unpropitious days.
The average human encounte' this
sort of thing often as he journeys
along life's crowded highway, and
finally reaches the state of mind
where he way regard it with und's-
turbed equanimity and only with the
reflection that a mans real coinage
will manifest itself sooner or later,
whether of fine gold or dross.
