Another provision Of the ordinance
changes the route of the Grand avenue
line so as. to have the cars run on
Pleasant avenue from Ramsey to Third
street, and on Third and Fourth streets
to Broadway. Aid. Shepard said he
was in favor of this ordinance or any
other one, which would give the peo-
pie Of Merriam Park through line
street car service. Mr.. Reardon
thought if the ordinance satisfied
the people on the hill, it was all right
as he believed in giving them what they
wanted. 1t was decided to recommend
the ordinance for passage, the only vote
against such recommendation being by
Mr.. DAILY.

Voting ana guessing schemes seem to be
growing quite common with newspaper pub
fishers. There is no doubt but what in most
instances the papers that resort 10 these
means to increase their circulations are quite
successful but circulations secured in this
way are not likely TO be so lasting as il built
up bv the merits ofthe papers, and, again, the
advertisers are not greatly benefited by circu
lations that are secured by such schemes, as

that what IL prints does not attract readers

The Story OF Daughters Devotion
and a Lovers Faithfuiness.

Twenty five years ago there was ro-
nance at Marysville-a love story in
which there was nothing out Of the ordi-
nary. 1t was like hundreds of others and
there did not then appear TO be u posi-
bility that IL would become remarkable
1t became known, there that two young
people, who win I've called John Smith
and Mary Jones were engaged to be
married. John Smith had been paying
attentions to the young lazy about two
years, aud the announcement OF their
engagement did not cause any surprise
The wedding day was set, and nearly
all the preparations had been made, when
the mother of tho bride-to-be became i'll.
On account OF her illness the marriage
had to be postponed In n short time IL
became apparent that her mind was Inn
paired and still later the terrible truth
forced itself on the minds OF her friends
the mother Of Mary Jones was insane.
Arrangements were made to sead her to
the asylum, and IL was then that her
daughter raised objections. She would

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAWS.

"The Civil Service law was placed on
the statute book by the Republican party
which has always sustained IL and we
renew our repeated declaration that it
shall hs thoroughly and honestly enforced
and extended wherever practicable.
This is the declaration Of the Republi-
can platform adopted ut St Louis in June
1896 and on which the President and the
present Congress were elected. Under the
circumstances 1t would appear to be just
M well to let the civil service laws alone.
They may be faulty. There is undoubted. /.
Iy good deal OF buncombe about them.
But to NEEDLE with them at this time
might reasonably seem wide departure
from the public promise to thoroughly

and devoted attendant The mothers
mind Is "a total wreck. She il not violent.
but her mind is gone. aud she must have
constant care and attention. Twenty-Five
yesrs have passed since she became do
mented. and during that time her daugh-
ter has not been away from her a single
day.
twenty-five years ago John Smith used
to call every Sunday night at the home OF
Mary Jones. They sat on the cool front
porch during the summer, and by the
sreside IN winter. Thon they painted
their future the happy life they were to
live after they were married.
John Smith still makes the Sunday
night visits as regularly as in the olden
times. IL he should miss one Sunday
night ID would be understood at once that
he was i'll, or that some other good and
sufficient cause had prevented him from
being there on time. His hair Is gray and
there are wrinkles on his face. The girl
he expected u claim as his bride is an old
maid now, and her once bright eyes are
beginning TO lose the lustro OF youth, but
she is still firm in her determination to
remain With her mother as long as her
mother lives. Ihe engagement has never
been broken. The young man said he
woGld wait until her task at home was
over, and he has waited. The years seem
long to him but he is true. IL he ever
grows impatient, the patient face OF the
woman whose devotion is more than re-
markable is enough To make him ashamed
Of his impatence. 1t is said to his credit
that he has never made the slightest effort
TO persuade the daughter TO leave her
mother.
Stories like this are often told in books,
but this is one in real life.-St. Joseph

REYENUE AND EXPENSES.

The President gave rare tip to Con-
gress when ne declared that currency re-
form could not be safely considered until
the governments revenues caught up
with the expenditures.
The revenue problem is the first and
most important problem before Congress.
One way to assist its solution is to keep
down expenditures
We note that bills have been intro
duced for o federal building at Westerly
to cost $50. 600 and one at woonsocSet to
cost s75, 900. These buildings are badly
needed but We have no doubt the patriotic
citizens of the most southerly and the
most northsrly towns will cheerfully wait
. while longer rather than have the
national deficit continue.
