The "cuIlud eemmenn sneaks.

A heavy shadow in the deep gloom
of the recess approaching the bar be-
came animated and presently strolled
out into the lobby wearing a delegates
badge. He COULDN'T escape. A pad
and pencil backed by reporter con-
fronted him.
'IS you one o. dem writer's dat pulls
dis cullud gemmen' stuff ev'y day in
de newspapahs?" grinned the dele
gate, evidently overjoyed at the pros
pect of an interview.
"Sure," said the reporter. ''That's
me. Pretty good-eh?"
"Well, sir, you are not the CORE
spondent I'm looking for. If am to
be interviewed send one of your more
mature men, who elucidate the flank
movements of the old guard and
analyze the effect of a great mans
dyspepsia on the vote of delegation"
Whereupon the shadow faded into
the deeper gloom of the Streets

Censorship DRAGON.

Let the American people stand in
fear and trembling of the eventful out
come of the insidious growth of CEN
sOrship powers.
Censorship is no fantastical bugaboo
lit Is real national peril, because
the day may not be far off when CEN
sors, under the shadow of the Ameri-
can flag Of independence, will be en-
powered by legislative enactment to
foist their individual whims, hobbies
or prejudices on the suffering public.
1t is not beyond our Imagination to
see fanatical functionary, with the
title of censor, who is vegetarian,
forcing the people of his city to abb
stain from meat.
Other censOrs with similar whims
mi ght censor tea and coffee, cigars and
cookbooks. Already it is reported
ministers are sensing the possibility
of their pulpits being ruthlessly
purged of Objectionable texts.-New
York Telegram.

Blasting for Drainage Ditch in Nebras-
ka Uncovered a Remark
able Relic.

c. F. Buchholz of this city has charge
OF company of men who are dyna-
hitting a drainage ditch east of here
about four miles, says the Falls City
correspondent Of the Omaha World
Herald. The purpose is to loosen the
dirt so it may wash and both widen
and deepen the ditch and prevent over
flows. The dynamite shakes side walls
and bottom.
After an explosion the other day a
large portion of the south side wall
caved down, exposing a large vase
about nine feet below the surface. The
workmen thought the pot might con-
tain valuables and made further in
vestigation, which disclosed no Span
ish gold, but the pot itself is fine ex-
ample of the work of the prehistoric
race which inhabited this section in
bygone ages. The pot is blackened on
it's interior as if it were from fire. 1t
was imbedded in stiff clay and the
ground about showed no appearance of
having been disturbed. A number of
photographs of the pot before it was
removed were taken to show the depth
and location.
The pot was found to be about eight
cen inches deep with an opening at the
top about the size of an ordinary table
plate, while it might measure three
feet in circumference at the middle.
Some distance farther down the ravine
some bones were found.
The pottery was brougbs to town and
VIII be reassembled, as the blasting
powder used in the ravine had caused
parts to crack and drop ous.

HORSE A FRIEND OF MAN
Ask Yourself the Question, How
Have You Dealt With Faithful
Animal Grown Old?

You may have had favorite horse
sometime, and it may have grown old
and the folks may have advised sell
ing or turning it out to die, maybe,
Erasmus Wilson writes in the Pitts
burgh Gazette-Times. Could you. or
did you give consent to thus disposing
of your old friend?
How would you like to meet such
an old friend on the avenue geared in
heavy, cumberous harness to rlckety
coalcart loaded to the limit of his
strength to move, and to hear the
coarse commands of the unfeeling
driver and the cruel cuts of the whip
when he was straining his stiffened
joints and weakened muscles until he
seemed ready TO totter and fall?
But then you might not recognize
him on account of the prominence of
his bones, the roughness of his coat
and his slavish and heartbroken APP
pearance. We can hardly recognize in
a weary, stumbling, ill-kept brute the
once sleek, sprightly, prancing steed
lldl WAS OuT pet anu
Maybe it is well that we do not
know them when we see them in their
sadly changed conditions.
Ask the veteran cavalryman about
his favorite horse and he'll tell you
things that will bring lump into your
throat. Many time and oft, perhaps,
they endured storms and braved dam
gers on picket posts, faced death in
mad and turbulent rivers, occupied a
common bed on the ground, foraged
for food to stay their hunger and
shared the last handful of parched
corn or piece of bareback.
and he will tell of the times his
trusty steed saved him from capture
or death, or bore him into the thick
of the battle and maybe fell victim
to some merciless bullet or shell, or
maybe both were wounded together
it to die in mercy, he to live and suffer
on
The old trooper is never willing,
much less anxious, to part with the
horse that has borne him through try
ing campaigns, and to which he feels
so greatly indebted.
No doubt this was the feeling of
the Arab whom Mrs. Caroline e. S.
Norton has so deftly and effectively
sketched in the poem that made her
famous-"The Arabs Farewell to His
Steed," which concludes as follows:
When last I saw him drink! Away! The
fevered dream is DER;
1 could not live day, and know that we
should meet no more;
They tempted me, my beautiful! for hun
gers power is strong;
They tempted me, my beautiful! but
have loved too long;
Who said that had given thee up? Who
said that thou vert sold?
IT'S false, tbs falsel my Arab steed!
flung them back their gold.
Thus, thus, l leap upon thy back, and
scour the distant plains
Away Who overtakes us now shall claim
thee for his pains.

hiding along Decatur street, first in

Count on Woman,s Energy,

1.-THE decision of national issues af-
ter the war will be in the hands Of
women as well as men," says Principal
Gilbert Slater of Ruskin college, Ok
ford, in his book, War and Peace in
Europe" For, while the advance of
woman toward political power has in
the past been slow in the extreme, it
has been irresistible and steadily ac-
celebrating. The war itself has made
all Europe realize that in the supreme
struggle between nations, survival de-
ponds upon the energies of women be-
ing utilized as well as those of men.
Henceforward, women win count; and
they will count more and more"

Tobacco Aids Soldiers.

The beneficent effects of tobacco at
the front were affirmed by the Lancet
as long ago as 1870, when the ques-
ton was being discussed in connection
with the F'ranco-Prussian war. "The
soldier" it was said, "wearied with
long marches and uncertain rest, OBJ
tanning his food how and when he can,
with his nervous system always IN a
state of tension from the dangers and
excitement he encounters, finds that
his cigar or pipe enables him to sus-
tain fatigue with comparative equa-
nimity. For the wounded it
is probable that tobacco has slight
anodyne and narcotic properties that
enable the sufferer to sustain pain bet
ter during the day, and to obtain sleep
during the night. "-London Chronicle.

METAL coLoRs RARELY SEEN PREHISTORIC VASE IS FOUND
Some Light Waves Absorbed, Others
Reflected-Copper Is Really
Salmon-Pink Shade.

One of the beautiful things we sell
dom see is the color of pure metals.
When exposed to the air most metals
tarnish so rapidly that our only means
to get even passing glimpse of their
true color is by quickly scraping off
the corroded surface.
The color of metals depends upon
the selective absorption of light waves
of different lengths. For instance, If
metal absorbs every light wave ex-
cept that of the length which pro-
duces the optical sensation yellow,
then its color is yellow, for what 1t
cannot absorb 1t reflects. Gold is
such a metal. On the other hand,
when gold is beaten to such thinness
that 1t becomes translucent, 1t trans
mits not yellow light rays, but those
which it formerly absorbed. namely,
a greenish blue mixture.
Silver is the best example Of large
class of metals that reflect practically
all the light they receive, and are
therefore approximately of the same
color as the light to which they are
exposed. From their color in the sun
light they are quite properly called
white" metals. Some of these are
aluminium, magnesium, nickel. sodium,
tin, iron and anthony.
Others, like lead, cadmium and
zinc, have something of this silver
luster, but with slight blush tinge.

and cobalt, probably owe their lack of
color to their tendency to absorb all
colors in about equal amounts. Bis
muth is of a peculiar light red and
potassium has pinkish tinge. Cop
per, strange to say. is not copper
colored," but is usually described as
salmon-pink.
