5s Next TUESDAY Lno peOplo " "O1'u
. ington will have an opportunity to
vote upon the question Of an electric
light plant to be owned and operated
by the village.
Z It has been clearly demonstrated
that the best and most economical
way for city to be we'll lighted is
by electricity, and by owning its own
plant, thus furnishing it to the peo-
pie at cost; it is then essentially ''the
poor mans light" as it is cheap-in
many towns it is cheaper than kero-
sene, and is always much safer and
healthier. These are facts that every
voter should cpref"lly weigh in de-
termining how he shall cast his bal
lot next Tuesday.
A few who are adverse to putting
in plant and are doing some work
against the proposition, use as an ar
gument that there are some who will
not use electric lights, claiming they
are too expensive, that the times are
hard, etc. That argument was worn
gauzy years ago. No public improve
ment was ever made that did not
have its objectors. When the prop
osition was made to put in the water
works plant cry went up that not
enough would take the city water
to make it pay. They were mistaken.
Many who were opposed to ,onding
the village for water works are now
among the best friends and support
ers of the system. Luverne exper-
fenced the. same difficulty but to-day
their plant is running at its;ifull ca
pacity and more lights are wanted.
This is the experienced of most towns
the plants generally are too small
to supply the demand.
A first class, all-night electric light
plant which, if the bonds carry, our
council propose to put in, will en-
nance the value of every dollars
worth of property in the town.
Worthington has had liberal dose
of tallow-dip advertising in the past
few weeks, and it now has an oppor
tunity to redeem itself, by showing
progressive spirit, which it will un-
doubtedly do.
Worthington is peopled with Live,
energetic, pushing, string men, who
will see that their town leads all
others in progressiveness.
Worthington leads the van.

One admirer says he cut a slice from a

not have made nearly so many meals.

Emperor William is a person whom
it is impossible to take seriously.

An immense demand exists for good
stories. There seems to be a revival of
novel and novelette, reading which is re.
markable il this hard, realistic age. It
may be a reaction from the iron hard ne
cessities that condemn US only to the
real and practical.
However that may be, the demand
for good stories is not at all supplied
American publishers must 60 to British
writers for their serials. We have
few good story writers in America.
Those we have have not distinguished
themselves lately. There is no way but
for American authors to keep on trying
till they dc strike the right gait.
Al editorial notice in Munsey's Maya

the lack of good stories as follows:

stories, not dialect sketches, not washed out
studies Of etfete human nature, not weak tales
Of sickly sentimentality, not pretty" writing.
This sort of thing in all its varieties comes by

want, but we do want fiction in which there is

while good stories are as rare as statesman

A Hint to bicycle Riders,

There is a little arrangement of my
own invention, which many ladies, BIZ
cycle riders, have found satisfactory,
used to adjust an ordinary skirt to a
comfortable riding length. About eight
inches from the belt sew on the seams on
the under side of the skirt little brass
rings, about the size Of an old fashioned
5 cent silver piece. Then put the rings
between the seams, SO they are about six
o. eight inches apart; then sew on an
other row diagonally opposite these
rings, about SIX inches lower down on
the skirt. Through these rings II a
stout, black, smooth cord, the ends COM
ing out into the pocket on the right side.
By pulling this string and tying it in a
single bowknot, and concealing it in
the pocket, the skirt is lifted, for rid
ing. When ~dismounted, by untying the
string and giving the skirt a little shake,
it assumes the conventional length. This
device is perfectly simple. The rings
should be sewn Oh strong and the string
smooth.-Mary Sargent Hopkins in
Wheelman.

Come back to my heart once more!
Oh, days, with your song and your story,
Come back to my heart once more!
For there's never a heaven so sweet to see

Oh, days of the past, with your splendor,
Come back to my heart once more!
With your kisses and carolirgs tender,
Come back to my heart once more!
For there's never a vessel that sails the sea
AS dear as the ships that came to me,
And the lighthouse is darkened and ever will
be.
Oh, days of the past, come back to me!
Oh, days Of the past, with your flowers,
Come back to my heart once more!
Oh, days of the beautiful hours,
Come back to my heart once more!

As sweet as the days Of the past to me.
