both in town and on the prairie.
Bare spots are beginning to ap-

absorb the great supply of mois-

water can be expected and pre-
perations should be made accord

posed by the bill was on luxuries,
Mr.. McMillin said: "The claim

also reminded the republicans that

has made in the last few years in

There Is no rose but hath a thorn
At least I've heard 40 from my youth.
And these same fingers. scratched and torn,
Have Oft borne witness 10 its truth.
The ancient saying IL well worn,
And true. as everybody knows,
Yet IL should read: There In no thorn
But with II we may ind a rose"
How many, like willfui child,
strive In unreason for some thing,
moment by its charm beguiled.
To lind II prove at last sting.
The seeming is not always real,
Nor Is our wisdom always wise:
Our failure oft is for our veal
A blessing truly In Disguise.
Then let us not make life quest
To crafty our whims and greed;
He who is wise 20 know what's best,
Is good TO give US what we need;
Let this then be our highest aim:
Wherever we find a heart that mourns
To plant some rose In His dear name
Who wore on earth a crown OF thorns.

The stormy interview with Went

home earlier than was customary with
him that night, and the more he
thought over the attack, the more un-
justifiable IL seemed. He wondered
what his nephew had been at. and tried
10 remember what Wentworth had
charged against him. He could not rec
ollect, the angrier portions Of the In
terview having, as IL were, blotted the
charges from his mind. There re-
manned, however, bitter resentment
against Wentworth. Mr.. Longworth
searched his conscience TO sec IL he
could be in the least 10 blame, but he
found nothing in the recollection OF
his dealings with the young men 20
justify him in feeling ut oil response
BILE for the disaster that had overtaken
them. He read his favorite evening
paper with less than his usual in

episode In his Office would crop up In
his mind. Finally he said sharply:
