There are so many things which it is so painful to hear, very many of which if heard will dis-ttub your temper, corrupt simplicity and modesty detract from contentment and happiness. If a man falls into a violent passion and calls all manner of names, at the first worda we should shut our earsi and hear ho more.

This will be Jerrys only appearance in the county during the present campaign. C. C. Nichols the popular manager of the Nekoma skim station was on last Sunday married to a young lady at Heizer.

"Nick" is quite popular among bis numerous friends in Rush' county and we join them in wishing him and bis bride a prosperous and happy married life. What is home without a newspaper An exchange gives the follow ing answer: "It is a place where old hats are stuffed into broken where the wife looks like a bag of wool with a string around the center, where the husband has a tobacco juice panorama painted on his shirt bosom, and the neglected children wipe their neglected noses on their jacket sleeves." There is one case at least, we believe, wherein the Lord will refuse to help thow who 1 help themselves, It is when a fellow helps himself to poisonous bug juice and gets so beastly full he is utterly unable to help himself, and makes an exhibition of himself, using language that would make satan himself blush from shamp, If a fellow will be so beast-ly he should hide himself from pub lic gaze and the sight of respectable people, The Standard tries to be pleasant under all circumstanaes, rain or shine it wears a continual smile gotten up to order; it never treads upon any. bodys toes if there is any room to tread anywhere else; and tho fact of the matter is simply this: we advise anyone who does not like the way it is run th'e manner in which it shoots off its mouth to start a paper of its own. There is no reason why every family Bhonld not have a paper of its own for breakfast-it costs nothing to print a paper, any fool can do it, and there is a bushel of fun in it. Try it.

A young man with honorable iu teutions is at tho mercy of any girl who intends to have a husband, by hook or crook, All that is necessary for' 'her to do is to keep him calling at home four nights a week for three weeks, and by that time he is easily persuaded that he has ruined ail her other chances by keeping imaginary dukes and princes away, and that it is his duty to marry her. When a young man calls on a girl a few times, her friends always begin to whisper that he is keeping other young men The girl becomas alarmed and the young man ha? got to propose or jump the game, hunt up a new and try a new "deal." The dance given in Franklin Hall Wednesday Evening was a success as far as sociability is concerned, but financially speaking not 60 much can be said for it. There were only about eighteen- numbers sold and the crowd was about as slim a one as ever attended a dance in this city. This may probably bo accounted for by the fact that it was not advertised long enough and that money is a hard matter to get and many a young man was compelled to stay at ht-me for the reason he did not have the price. All present however enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent until the wee hours of morning.

An elegant supper was sorved in the old AbbottBuiidiog, of which nearly all partook. returned to his Lome in the strip Wednesday morning.

There are women about as good looking as the rough side of a horse radish grater, who read with glasser and eat with porcelain teeth, and yet flirt.

An exchange tells how a girl's taste differs according tq age: "At 16 she wants a dude with tooth pick shoes iand a microscopjug mustache; at 25 she'll be satisfied with a member of congress; at 30 a country doctor or minister will do; at 35 anything that wears pants from an editor down."

From eight to ten prairie schoon-ers pass through Rush Centre daily enroute to their wife's folks from Western Kansas counties. Some of the far western counties must bo piubiuavij uo UWUUUUlUiea DJ tC18 time. hot, rostless man begins to inflame our feeling, we should consider what mischief the fiery spark may do.

in our magazine below, where our temper is kept, and instantly close the door. If all the pretty things said, of one by heedless or ill-natured, id: lers were brought home to him, ho would become a mere walking 'pi cusion stuck full of sharp remarks. If we would be happy when among good men, we should open our earn; when among bad men, sbut thera. It is not worth while to hear what our neighbor says about our child ieu what our rivals say about or busineos our drees or our affairs. The remark is often made: "WeJl I'm going to pull out." The nexii question is where will you pull to? mi.

i a i xw uiucu laixeu oi nortnwest over done; thousands the state of Washington are idle with no prospects for work in the near future. The east contains laborers enough to supply the demand. Chicago is over run Mith mechanics. Educated men are plenty and nearly all of the pro-fessions are overdone. The time has come when we can no longer take what we want, but what we can get, then in the mean time look forward for a higher position, or work up to the top.

for nearly all occupations give men and women who labor for a livelihood that privilege. It is im. possible to commence st the top in the beginning for it takes experience in any occupation. Wealth will ncis come this late in the day with a wish soft snaps are scarce and the only way, in nine cases out of ten, to reach a higher levtr than that of a common laborer, is to hold to anything at fair wages, no matter where. Small wages the year around are bat ter than higher wages for a few-months.

Young men, especially, want to "pull out" from any country, none excepted, when they are well enough, but they want to soothe world and think their surround ings too tame. Some old men in tlw west are afflicted in the same way. They invaribly have a wife and 4 trail wagon load of children probably two or three dogs and all of them half starved. Their worldly possessions are on wheels. Such men wBl always be as poor as a church raonw and will have to answer some day for starving women and children, stay where you are young or old, i( you are earning fair wages, unlawi you want a home for your own, then go to some country where govern ment land is open for settlement, so lect a pfaco, and stay there.
