WHEN THE bill to apply the princi
pie Of the South Carolina dispensary
law to the town OF Front Royal was be-
fore the Legislature, Mr.. Clayton said
the passage of such bill would make
the legislature the laughing stock Of
the entire country. The bill passed, all
the same. The "entire country" has
long since ceased to take any interest
in the doings of the Virginia legislature,
and it certainly did not require the
passage of the bill referred to, to make
that body the laughing stock of the en-
tire State, for1t has been such almost
from the very beginning OF its session.

THOUGH the lumber supply of this
country is being rapidly diminished,
according to official statistics, the re-
publicans persist in retaining a tariff
duty of two dollars thousand feet

Canada, the effect of which, of course,
is to expedite the exhaustion of the
lumber of this country, and to preserve
that of Cannda. But the idea upon

where We are all supposed to be young,
Mrs. Scott is the most youthful of those
presiding over department clubs. A
native OF Nebraska, she was born in
Otoe county, and later lived in Seward.
where she graduated from the High
school. When her father, Mr.. William
Leese, became attorney general o. the
state he removed with his family to Lin

assisted him for some years as s,enogra-
pher. In 1893 she married Mr.. Archi-
bald A. Scott, OF the First National
bank, and has since resided in Lincoln.
Shortly after her marriage she joined
the New Book Review club, an organi-
zation Of twenty members, who meet
semi-monthly to review the current liter
allure OF the day. Mrs. Scott still keeps
her membership in this club, in spite OF
later duties which came to her and has
served as lis president and ever lost her
