Hundreds of Nebraska Power Go. customers
and other local folks are providing incomes for
themselves by investing in shares of the Com
panys Preferred Stock These shares pay divi-
dends every March |, June |, September and
December |, which amount to nearly 7l4%
year on every dollar invested
If you had only 10 shares, the dividends would
be $1,000 year. What better use for your
savings than to make them earn some extra
dollars for you? Extra money you won't have
to work for. It's just like working at one job
and drawing salary from two.

earlier to the repeated assaults that
fell upon him.
For it is always dangerous to tell
men the truth about themselves, as
Aoiiere did. And it is the truth of
human life which gives his work its
essential force. In that he sur
passes, it may be. the great tragic
masters Of his period. The magazine
La Renaissance has lately conducted
n symposium of modern authors on
the question of Moliere's relative
greatness. 1t seems TO me. however,
that he escapes all classification and
remains, like Shakespeare, a unique
figure in the history of the theater.
He is nearer to the English drama
tist than he is to Victor Hugo, for
example. For in Hugo's work char
acter is the application of a princi-
pie. In Shakespeare and Moliere it
is the explosion of life-contending
passions, drama always latent in a
situation which spends its force in
laugh. Shakespeare often permits
tragedy to work itself out. Since
Moliere avoids it. his comedy is nat
urally more varied and wider in
range than that of the English mas
ter. But they are brothers in their
common sense of the drama OF life.
Their work is literature, but they
took little pains to prepare it for the
reader. Both have been accused of
negligence in the niceties of compo-
sition. MoliaSe wrote for auditors
that gave more heed to certain con-
I.ventions than did those Of London.
Yet even he broke over the artificial
distinctions between the comedy of
manners, the comedy of character
and farce-comedy. He made the plot
serve his need and sometimes let 1t
take care of itself as in Don Juan"
Moliere was limited by no formula.
He could play with the phrases of
polite society. But he loved better
TO use the simplest means, such as
the famous phrase in Tartuffe: Poor
fellow!"
He never forgot the farces of his
early days The slapstick, the tricks
of a valet, traditional lovers deceit.
burlesquc interludes-these he count
ed no less legitimate than the elegant
persifiage of Celimene. He found no
pitfalls in the complicated style of
the precieHses. But his instructive
speech was that of the Quarter deS
Hdlles where he was born and of the
old provincial towns through which.
in his earlv career he had directed
the tours Of LIllastre Theatre.

Life and Times
In Morocco

MOROCCO THAT WAS BY Walter p.
Harris. Small. Maynard 6 Co.
N r r. HARRIS lived for several
N years in Morocco as the
correspondent of news
paper. He seems TO have had n gift
for entering into the spirit of the
place. He represented the best
qualities OF the medieval Moroc-
cans. Hence he had loyal SER
wants and the friendship of the COM
mon people to an unusual degree.
This meant that he could learn the
news and the rumors in a country
where the marketplace is still the
newspaper. 1t was q more v3lu-
able asset than those credentials
which gave him free access to the
court. 1t made him almost invalu-
able to his paper, and allowed him
opportunities 10 serve his Govern
ment in furnishing information.
The earlier chapters of his book
deal with the rival sultans. Both
of them were gorgeously incompetent
Mulai Abdul 4kJy amused himself by
buying all sorts of mechanism from
the Western World and then letting
it so 10 pieces. He employed his
dentist to purchase n lion from "A
German dealer in animals, and thus
caused an amusing international
tangle. He was absolutely a child in
every way. His army was under
paid, and his people were rebellious
under increased taxes. 1t was only a
question of time before his throne
tottered.
Mulai Haiid. his half brother, as
pired to the throne. The war that
ensued was very platonic. Civilians
suffered more than the soldiers. The
two armies resolutely and courage
ously avoided each other. Each
ruler made n triumphant entry into
his rivals capital at nearly the same
time. Mulai ,Haiid was deposed by
the French. Mr.. Harris witnessed
dramatic encounter between the
brothers. They had promised to be
reconciled- but when they met acci-
dentally each rode off in the opposite
direction.
Mr.. Harris has much to say about
RaisJh. He regarded the bandit as a
very capable man and no worse than
the nominal rulers OF the country.
In spite. or perhaps because Of the
fact that he had once been Raisuli's
captive and had once outwitted him
neatly, the two became great friends.
These two Incidents were not gen.
orally mentioned between them. Mr.
Harris says: only once a tactless
European broached in. the briSand
chiefs presence the subject of my
having been for some time at his
stronghold ut Zunt. With a pleasant
smile Raisuli interposed, My house
Is always at the disposal OF my
friends"

FLAUBERT LETTERS. Translated

IN o famous men and women ever

Haven't they always an eye

know a certain famous person who
has been engaged in writing letters
to another person with the sole OBJ
ject in view Of having the letters
published. But the question is be-
side the mark; for if the letter writ
ers be men and women of genius
even their poses are interesting.
Whatever genius does cannot be
foreign to the human race-or at
least to the thinking portion of it.
1t was Sainte-Beuve or Balzac who
called George Sand "the writing
cow" 1t was James Huneker who
called Flaubert "the Colossus of
Ennui."
It is q curious correspondence. I
cannot conceive of two people so ut
terly dissimilar in the literary world
as Flaubert and Nine. Dudevant. A
cynic in love with a sentimentalist.
A pessimist who fell for the baby

Liszt. Chopin, Lamennais, Pierre
Lerout, Sainte-Beuve, Flaubert. How
did Gen. Grant escape when he went
to Europe?
OF course, the importance of these
letters lies in the ones that Flaubert
wrote to her. List, Chopin and
Flaubert made this ridiculous woman
immortal. Let us take off our hats
TO George Sand-she almost made
F9aubert human. And let us thank
whatever gods there be that she
hadn't the slightest influence on his
