NEBRASKA IN THE LONG AGO.
What ls Now a Dry Plain Was Once
 the Bed of a Great Sea.


 the Bed of Great Sea.
 South of Platte river, opposite North Bend, Neb., the bluffs are conspicu- ous and consist of loess and glacial drift, Overlying the Benton shale. This shale was formed when Nebraska was at the bottom of sea. Evidence of the former presence here of sea water Is found in the fossil shells of oysters and other animals that live in salt wa ter and the bones of such sea monsters as the mosasaurus.
 A comparison of these ancient cOndi- tions with those of the present day in- dicates the slow, continuous change that is now and always has been in progress: Where the tourist now trav- els comfortably over a dry plain these monsters sported In the water of the sea long ages ago. On the shores of this ancient sea lived equally strange beasts and birds of types that have long been extinct, and over its water sailed great flying dragons-the ptero- dactyls.
 The animals of that day were strik- ingly different from those of the pres ent The birds, unlike any now living, had jaws armed with teeth. The mon- archs of the air then were not in fact birds but flying reptiles, whose fore limbs had been modified into wings by the enormous elongation of fingers be- tween which stretched thin membranes like the wings of bat These flying dragons, some of which had a stretch of eighteen feet, were carnivorous They were animated engines of de- struction that somewhat forcibly sug- gest the modern war airplanes, of which they were in a sense the proto- types Geological Survey Bulletin

A Gloomy African Pool,

There is a large, deep and mysteri- ous pool in the valley of the upper Kafue river, northwestern Rhodesia. This wonderful pool lies in fiat coun- try, and one comes to 1t quite sudden ly, its banks being concealed by dense forest. There is a small native village near the pool, and the inhabitants have superstitious dread of it. They re- fuse to drink the water or use it for any purpose whatever. To sit beside this still, pellucid pool of unknown depth, surrounded by precipitous walls in the heart of the tropical forest, would induce feeling of awe in the breast of even the most civilized man.

BEGINNINGS OF NEW YORK.

Except One, It's Early Colonial Cover
 nors Were Sorry Lot.
 Queer were the instruments with which the early history of Manhattan island was fashioned. Of the four Dutch governors not one was compe- tent. Minuit was fairly wise, but was active in furthering the patroon sys- tenn, feudalism pure and simple. Wou- ter van Twiller, who was five feet six inches tall and six feet five inches in circumference, was a fool; William Kieft was peppery, avaricious and dis honest, and old "Silver Peg" Peter Stuyvesant was a despot.
 Of the English governors all but one, and he a shining exception, were as bad as the Dutch. Lord Bellomont was the partner of Kidd, the pirate; Lord COrnbury was a degenerate who painted his face and went simpering through the streets; Slaughter was notorious drunkard; Lovelace, Hunter, Burnet, Montgomerie, Cosby and Clark were worthless; Nicolls and Andros have little to their credit.
 The exception was Thomas DOngan. Few perhaps appreciate the debt Amer ica and the world owe to Dongan. The bill of rights or charter of liber- ties, which he drafted while governor and gave to the colonists, formed the basis of the Declaration of Independ- ence which Thomas Jefferson wrote nearly a century later. It marked the first step in the march of events that led to the birth of this nation of free men.
 Little, perhaps, did Dongan know of the mighty consequences of his act. How could he? He ruled but a DOT tion of Britain's colony in America. New York, named for that i'll fated Duke of York who became James H., was mudhOle. Berlin was a village of 5000. Petrograd was a marsh. Constantinople vied with London for the title of greatest city of the world. Boston and Philadelphia were more populous than New York. The trade of Salem was larger.-Commerce and Finance.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
Don't Be Hasty In Judging by It, Lest You Be Deceived.

You Be DeceiVe0. Bret Harte wrote in one of his stories that you couldn't judge anything by the appearance of his characters. The big gest scamp had Raphael face, the bravest man in camp was the smallest, the surest shot had but three fingers and the best dressed was the worst gambler in the state.
 The same rule often works out in real life. Nobody wrote more dry phil osophical books than England's prize philosopher, Francis Bacon. But one day while i'll and without consulting any works of reference he dictated volume of jokes which is still the best collection to be found in London.
 When Stephen Crane wrote his 'Red Badge of Courage" old soldiers thought the author must have gone through the , war. Just out of college, Crane had scarcely ever heard gun fired, and he was not born until years after Appo- mattox.
 A 22O pound bully was making trou- ble in a Philadelphia street railway car when a small, pleasant faced youth remonstrated. Every one expected to see the giant literally crush the young man who had interfered. AA they step ped off the car the bully was knocked senseless by blow of the others fist the fist of Billy Recap, then champion amateur lightweight boxer of America. heard Bob Burdette, the funny man. tell how the soldiers laughed at a young flop of cavalry officer until they saw him just once leading a charge. Then they knew it was General Custer. and they laughed no more.
 So you cannot always tell what is in mans head or his fist by his personal appearance or by his previous work Philadelphia Ledger.

HE SIMPLY FORGOT.
The Hurried Married Man Didn't
 Think, but His Wife Did.

The Hurried Married Man Didn't
 Think, but His Wife Did.
 He really meant to kiss his wife this morning as he left the house to go to work.
 But he forgot He was thinking of the cares of the shop. of the thousand and one matters which concern him in the big world with which he wrestles for living for her and the kids.
 Anyhow. he said to himself after ward, what's kiss? It oughtn't to take such a mere formality to con- vince of his love and trust the woman he has made the mistress of his home, the mother of his children. Pshaw, The chances are she never noticed the omission. So why should he worry?
 But back home woman wept-wept not because she doubted her husband $ cOnstancy. not because she felt that he wouldn't prove big and true and fine in an emergency, but because, wO- manlike. shut within homes four walls. doomed to another day of petty rou- tine. much of it to be endured all alone. she wanted that kiss as a token and a memory-wanted it as proof that not in her case could the poet write: He's lost, you see, cause he married me-; Goodby, my lover, goodby.
 Now if you, MT. Man. made such a break as that this morning, do you know what you ought to o.do?
 Go home tonight with a present in each hand and plant two kisses where one grew before.-New Orleans States.

The defendant in troduced the former foreman of the mill. who testified that the plaintiff had admitted to him that he had set fire to the mill in order to get the insurance money.

A Primitive Huntinu Weapon


 The bolas is d missile weapon used ica to entang!e the feet of animals and thus throw them to the ground. This primitive weapon consists of two or more balls of stone or metal, usually covered with leather and connected to the ends of cords or thongs. The hunt CT holds one of the balls in his right hand, whirlS the other around his head and, when the proper momentum has been obtained, sends them whirling like chain shot through the air. When the thong comes ill contact with the legs of an animal it is tightly wound about them. a fall results, and escape is impossible.

THE MAN IN THE sux.
He Startled but Did Not Unnerve tn
 Expross Car Messenuer.

He Startled but Did Not Unnerve the Express Car Messenger.
 The messenger was alone in the ex- press car, and the train was making fast time about POO miles outside of San Francisco. At the last stop the messenger had been very sorry to see an ordinary rough box loaded from the truck. The experience was con- mon enough, but it always depressed him a little.
 Having set things to rights, he sat down near his little writing desk and dropped into a doze. A sudden lurch of the train reused him, and, as he stretched himself awake, what was his consternation at seeing that the lid of the rough box was lifted about three inches!
 Express messengers live in daily ex- pectation of train robbers, and the thought flashed through his mind in the twinkling of an eye that one of those gentry was in the box. As he got up from his chair he was relieved to see the lid quietly drop into its place. However. he knew that the bandit was no doubt watching his every movement from a hole bored in the side of the box and that what he did he must do cautiously.
 Moving out of the hidden mans range of vision, he got his hands on a few nails and hammer. Then he slowly worked his way through the lofty pile of packages, which he pretended to be rearranging, suddenly threw a heavy trunk on the lid of the rough box, jumped astride 1t and nailed down the lid securely. The imprisoned robber roared and struggled, but to no avail.
 The messenger rushed to the rear of his car and looked back through the coaches. He could see the mans con- federates going through the pas- sengers, who held their hands aloft while member of the gang covered" them. The express car carried valu- able shipment, and the messenger de- termined to save 1t.
 Grasping the lever that operated the automatic coupler, he put every ounce of strength he possessed into one ter rife jerk. The drawbacks parted, and a gap almost instantly opened between the express car and the coaches. Run- ming back through his car, barring the door as he went, the messenger reach ed the front door and shouted to the engineer to open his throttle. The en- zine and the express car leaped for ward, but not minute too soon.
 The bandits, emerging from the coaches, were insane with rage when they saw themselves foiled and pour ed volley after volley from their rifles into the fast fleeing car.
 From the next station a coach and engine with posse armed to the teeth went back to the relief of the stalled train, from which the bandits had long since fled. The express car and engine, under a heavy police guard, proceeded to San Francisco. The bandit was un- boxed at the police station, and an ugly looking customer he proved to be. He got a sentence of twenty years in the penitentiary.-Wel Fargo Messenger.
