BUILDING UP A CITY,

The prosperity Of city can only
be achieved through the same meth
DDS which lead to individual pros
perity, says the Kansas City Star.
There must be energy, ambition, en-
terprise, good judgment, judicious
expenditure and eternal vigilance.
Natural advantages count tor as
much in the case OF a city as they
do in the case Of a business or a
professional man. But if the gifted
man neglects the advantages with
which he starts out in lite-if he
falls into slothful habits, goes about
unshaved and unkempt, acquires
the reputation of meanness and mig
gardliness, refuses to enlarge his
business and to respond to public
demand-he drops to the rear, and
the survival of the fttest'' asserts
its immutablc power. So with the
city which faiis to improve its op.
portunities, to develop its advan.
tages of location and topography,
and so provide the public with the
same comforts and attractions which
rival cities offer. Cleanliness is not
only next to goodness, but is also
closely allied 20 mundane success
and community of interests de.
mands the same order and self.res.
pect as the individual in order tc
secure success.

STICK TO THE OLD PARTY,

There never was time within the
history of this country, says the
Jackson Argus, when there was
greater need Ct perfect democratic
unity than atpresent. There never
was a time when there was greater
certainty OF success than nov, pro-
vided the party will be cautious and
conservative IN announcing it's plat
form, and if every man would stand
shoulder to shoulder in the great
battle. The demands of the alliance
and wants of the people as whole
will be met by the democratic party.
and there is no hope from any other
source. The dissatisfied element
known as the peoples party" have
no chance in the world of electing a
president or congressman, and why
democrats would bolt at this stage
of the game, and make efforts to dis
rupt the party ard hazard their own
success is a mystery. The greater
the success of the Peoples party,
the less chance there is for demos
cratic triumph and greater certainty
that the republicans will hold the
reins of the government.

AMONG the most interesting of
recent local events is the decision
OF Marietta's citizens to establish
public schools; an event upon
which we ought to congratulate one
another; parents upon the educa-
tional advantages which their chill
dren will enjoy; capitalists upon
the increased population, and conse-
quent improvement in the value of
property; and all upon hearty CO.
operation in an Intelligent and or
ganized effort to promote individual
and public usefulness.

Do WE NEED A PUBLIC LIBRARY?
No one will doubt the fact that a
public libary is OF inestimable bene-
fit to the majority of people in any
town or city, always supposing that
the books in it are standard works
on biography, religion, science,
philosophy and art.
While here and there man is
wealthy enough to afford the luxury
of not only owning private library
but of continually adding to it, as
desirable works appear, yet for
every such Ole, there are hundreds
of others who, while able to enjoy
the reading of good book intense
ly, are too poor to purchase one
much less d whole library.
By paying nominal fee, such
persons are enabled by circulating
library, to read the best works of
the time and to associate with noble
minds of both past and present gen.
erations.
Nothing broadeEs and educates a
mind better than a good course of
reading, and, therefore, it is only
Just that in every possible way, eff
forts should be put forth to enable
rich and poor to benefit from the
common good.

Mrs. Bond continued TO rap on my
door for sometime, but eliciting no re-
ply, at last called my name. ] did not
answer, and she called again. She
continued to call, pitching her voice
higher each time, and finally saw that
unless l admitted her she would have
all the occupants Of the house aroused,
and scene would be the outcome. So
made an effort to check my tears and
calm myself and then went to the door.
My landlady scrutinized me searchingly
for almost minute, after which she
exclaimed:

on earth is the matter Of you? What
has happened to you, Iwant to know?"

door, but Mrs. Bond edged herself in
and prevented me.
"Nothin'!" she repeated, shrilly.
"Well, 1t may be nothin', but my opin-
ion is it's mighty serious nothin'.

MRS. 9ond edged her way farther In
TO the room, and, looking me over sharp
ly for n moment, said
"You may want TO be let alone, and
you may want to keep your own Sc

replied:

heavily on me. do not know whether

Charles Cornell came down to town
one Sunday and took me for drive. 1t
was in the early autumn, and the day
and the roads were fine and the air ex-
hilarating, and as we sped along the
smooth lanes l felt thrill of pleasure
and life, such as had not known for
weeks. My companion was in better
spirits than ! had ever seen him, and
he laughed and chatted with a gayety
and hshtness of heart that was con-
tagiors, and for the nonce / almost
forgot the sorrow that burdened me.
We had gone several miles, and had
ridden little way in silence, my com.
panion becoming suddenly taciturn,
when he turned his eyes to me, and, ex-
aiming my features closely, asked:
do you enjoy this ride, Miss
Owensp"
u do, very much, replied.
There is but one thing about 1t that
do not like" he remarked.
"What is that?" questioned
ut is the end" he answered. "If 1t
could continue on, and on, forever,
would ask for nothing more"
"You'd get tired of it before a
great while, think and enjoy a walk
for change"
whether walking or riding, itwould
be all the same to me if you were by
my side"
blushed and hung my head. I
realized only too well to what his
thoughts were leading, and would
have checked him, but had not the
courage to speak out. could not say
or do anything to sadden his spirits,
and waited in dread and trembling for
him TO proceed
/ believe he construed my actions to
his favor, for Immediately he took
heart and spoke out more boldly.
"Agnes," he said, calling me by that
name for the first time, there is but
one thing want to make my happiness
perfect. Can you guess what that one
thing is?'
! Still said nothing. could not have
spoken II my life had depended on it.
l dreaded to hear the declaration he
was about to make, for knew l must
deny his suit and crush his great and

In the forenoon of the next day as /
was returning from the store l met
Charles Cornell on the street. l was
walking along with my eyes cast down,
and buried in thought, and did not
know he was near me until he spoke. l
glanced up to find him standing In front
of me, while to one side there stood an
other gentleman whom noticed only
cursorily, supposing, as a matter of
course, that he was some one whom l
had never seen, and in whom l could
have no interest whatever.

you"

questioned

ness here was in relation to the land

appeared real.
l recognized my boy friend in an In
slant. He was unchanged except that
he was taller and more graceful. He
was a man grown now, but there was
the same happy, boyish expression
about his features, the same tender
light in his eyes. He had grown hand
somer and more elegant, and Us looked
upon him I thought him very beautiful.
My first impulse was to extend my
hand in greeting to my old friend, but
something In his manner checked me.
He eyinced no sign of pleasure in meet
ing me, but looked upon me as one
would upon a stranger. The thought
came to me that he had perhaps forgot
ten the little girl he had once known,
or that, at least, he did not recognize
her in the tall woman who now stood
before him. There had been wonderful
changes in my appearance within the
last three years.
"No," said TO myself, "he does not
know me-"
Again / was about TO address him
and make myself known. But Charles
Cornell anticipated me. / heard him
say:
