PULL BACK AND PUSH AHEADS.
People do not differ much In com
munities wherever they may bo and
the following from the Omaha Bee
may be studied hero with profit as
showing what Omaha has had to
contend with In pushing itself ahead
to its present size. The Bee says:
"In every community there are al
ways two contending elements one
palling back and the other pushing
ahead.- The city or town In which
the Ptish-aheads are in the majority
is always a thriving, progressive,
wide-awake place, constantly at the
head of the procession. The city or
town in which the Pull-backs have
control is usually afraid to take up
any new enterpi lse, however, pro
mising; it never starts until Its rival
has gotten a good lead, and It Is al
ways to be found among the strag
glers on the highway to prosperity.
"Omaha has been singubirly fortu
nate In having been dominated from
Its pioneer days by Push-aheads in
stead of by Pull-backs. The founders
of Omaha did not sit and wait for
thing3 to como their way but they
went out with a helping hand and
accomplished wonders bordering on
the miraculous. There were, of
course Pull-backs tugging in the op
posite direction all tho time, but the
Push-aheads kept their shoulders to
the wheel, foiclng Omaha further
and fuither to the fore and drag
ging tho Pull-backs along.
"There aio people In Omaha, ns In
every community, who would stop all
public Improvements nnd let tho city
stagnate at the slightest pretext.
They are the same soit of obstruc
tionists ns thoso who opposed and
predicted failure for tho great Trans
misKisslppi exposition of 1S9S, which
was prosecuted to triumphant suc
cess in spite of them in advance of
recovery from the severest Indus
trial depression in our history. Be
cause of tho possibility, more or less
remote, that we may have to buy the
water works at what seems to bo an
exorbitant figure some apprehensive
folks would voto down paving bonds
and park lmprooinent bonds and
court house bonds to avoid paying
Interest on what wo bonow. That
would be a manifestation of what
vc havo termed tho pull-back spirit.
"When tho builders of Omaha put
$250,000 into the old court house
and jail more than twenty-five years
ago with tho population and taxable
resources pf the county less than
one-fourth what they nro today, they
were courageously Imbued with the
push ahead spirit. They thought
they were building for tho Omaha
or the futuro but unintentionally
failed to look fnr enough forward,
with tho result that tho structure- has
been long sinco out grown and al
ready needs replacement by a new
ami adequate building.
"It Is for tho Push-nheads of today
to bend their energies to tho unbuild
ing of tho twenUirth century Omaha.
Having made snch great strides In
ihc past f6w years, tho pace must not
'bo allowed to slacken now when
Omaha h'ns every prospect of soon
'pausing many of its commercial and
JriuriBtrlnl rivals."
pieces In tho Kansas town whero ho
is a guest at tho present time. To a
reporter he stated that ho had watch
ed the newspapers carefully for
twenty years on tho subject of beards
and had yet to find a rival who equal
ed him.
The vanity of men "bearded like a
pard" is no disparagement to them;
men are equally vain of their stature,
their pulchritude, real of fancied,
their muscle and any other physical
attribute, and whiskers seven feet
long are something to look at with
awe and envy. A man once wagered
a dinner with a friend that he could
stroke every long beard encountered
on a walk down the length of Broad
way. He won his bet, even to caress
ing the stately whiskers of a Wall
street millionaire accosted as he was
entering his carriage and In a hurry.
In fact, tho magnate was so flattered
by the lngiatlatlng manner of this
admirer of beards that, purring like a
kitten, he permitted him to unroll a
tape line and measure It from tip to
tip. Kansas populists are popularly
supposed to take great pride in their
beards, but as a matter of fact Kan
sas has to take a back seat to Iowa
in the matter of whiskers. Topeka

WE ARE DYING YOUNGER.
In viow of all that has been said
about the fall in the death rate it
seems strange to realize that we are
not living so long as our grand
fathers and grandmothers did. More
babies live to grow up nowadays than
formerly, but people in later life die
jounger. Once arrived at adult ago
the average man or woman has few
years of survival to expect.
This seems on the face of It so
surprising a statement that in order
to be accepted It should be backed
up by data authentic and Indisput
able. Such data are furnished by the
figures of the insurance companies
(which all agree on tho point), but
it is easier to refer to the govern
ment census reports, which tell the
tale In simple and convincing fash
Ion. Even during tho last fifteen
years the death rate among all per
sons over fifty-five years of age of
both sexes has risen very consider
ably. Health Culture.

THE SALOON IN SWITZERLAND.
Consul Mansllcld's report from Lu
cerne upon the fejstem of controlling
the saloons In the lepublle of Switzer
land is of special Interest at this time.
Every canton is locally goeriied and
legulntes the number of saloons or
bars, granting licenses necoullng to the
locality. In bouie towns and cities
theie may be one saloon to every 200
inhabitant!) and In uiral districts only
one to 1,000 people or even more.
The Uceuso fee alios and In the
canton of Lucerne ranges front $40 up
to $1,200 per annum. All revenue from
the tratllc Is devoted to school nnd
road purposes.
The rules governing the saloons In
Switzerland nro very strict, nnd any
Infringement lesiilts In a foifclture of
tho license. As tho number of li
censes Is restricted, the possession of
one constitutes a valuable franchise,
and the holder is bound by self inter
est to obey the law. The consul states
that, while drinking Is general amoug
the men of Switzerland, drunkenness
Is rare and confined almost entirely
to touring foreigners. This menus
that the Irresponsible clement abuses
tho snloon privilege, and it Is this elo
ment chiefly which has brought tho
saloon under tho ban of public opinion
in tills country.

Snares me in days that are scented

Aye! an' the blue, when the sun

Blossoms with jewels, night-lamps of

Bright as two passionless eyes I have

Ah! it is here that my heart is my
