LOCAL BREVgTsES.

Between figuring on new work and putting finishing touches on the old, Percy Scoville is the busiest man in town. He is just completing $2,000 plumbing contract at i.hls Bartlett place near Glendale and at the same time is making up an estimate on another im- portant jCb. He does net do all the actual plumbing work himself. He would not begin to have time for that. But he superintends it thoroughly and tha rest is in the hands of the most competent workmeni Obtainable.. His success and popularity do not lie en- tirely in the excellence Ce his work but partly in the excellence Of the ma ter;al hs uses. Those contemplating plumbing should visit his place, 21 North First avenue, and see the stock those rev porcelain closets, for in- stance.

It is quite a little journey from Om- durman to Khartoum, fer enc has to steam against strong currcnt-the full force of the main rush Of the Blue Nile, which eddies round Tuti island which is further south than the map locates it. On approaching Khartoum one is entranced with the casis-like ap- pearance of the place. It stands out of the waters of the Blue and White Niles like a. clunp of bright foliage in a wilderness. Steaming close into the spit of land which divides the two rivers, the ruins of the dervish fort which Keppel had reduced on August 31 stood cut down by the shore. Near it crowds of men and women cam. to greet us, the softer sex uttaring the pc culiar cry which betokens grief or joy. It was certainly the latter emotion to which they gave vent today, for their pinched faces and emacia:ed ferns did not give evidence Of a happier condi- tion of things under the khalifa's rule. Many of them ran ahead of the boats to spread the news of our arrival. The tall greenery along the banks beckoned us to shady retreats, $ palm tres s, rose bushes, lemon and lime groves met our gaze.

She was smiling on him as she had
smiled on me, and my jealousy broke

The next day determined to put the
sea between her and me, but could
not at once decide to which side Of the

for Norway or the Nile, New York or
Nav Jerusalem, when | remembered a
commission, entrusted to me by dy-
ing friend in India some two years be-
fore, and l decided on fulfilling 1t be-
fore starting on longer journey.
He had died OF fever In tho Jungle,
and was the only European with him
during his illness. He had asked me
on my return home to find out II his
mother was still alive, deliver a pack
age Of letters into her hand, beg her
forgiveness, and tell her how deeply
he regretted their long estrangement.
For fifteen years he had not seen or
heard Of her, but he gave me her ad-
dress at their time OF parting, in a re-
mote village on the coast OF Donegal,
After weary railway journey, and
many hours painful jolting over miles
Of wild barren mountain, ! found my
friends mother living in desolate
farmhouse halfway up a craggy peak
overlooking the sea- eight miles by
road from the nearest post-town-and
more disagreeable, repellent, harsh
toned old woman 1t was never my III
luck to come across.
It was with feeling Of repugnance
that delivered the poor fellows last
request for forgiveness, hearing the
way she sought to make spiritual cap

ITO be Contlnued,)

ono Verso OF Poetry Paid for Robbie
Burns Dinner
Here is a story told Of Robert Burns
in his youth. Burns was living In
the town of Ayr, and though still
young had attained more than n local
reputation as a poet, says the Newcas'
tie (England) Chronicle. One day he
was passing through the main street
Of the town and saw two strangers sit
ting at one of the inn windows. With
idle curiosity he stopped to look at
them Seeing him and thinking that
the rustic might afford them some
amusement while waiting, the strang.
ers called him In and asked him to
dine with them. Burns readily ac-
copied the invitation and proved a
merry, entertaining guest. When din
ner was nearly finished the strangers
suggested that each should try his
hand at versemaking and that the one
who failed to write a rhyme should pay
for the dinner. They felt secure In
the challenge, believing that their
rustic guest would pay for the meal.
The rhymes were written and Burns
read the following: II, Johnny Peep,
saw two sheep; two sheep saw me-
Half a crown apiece will pay for their
fleece, and /, Johnny Peep, go free"
The strangers establishment was great
and they both exclaimed: "Who ara
you? You must be Robbie Burns"

There seems TO be no doubt as to the
policy of republicans In this campaign.
They are determined TO evade all OF
the issues OF the campaign and divert
the attention OF the people TO things
which are calculated TO lead opposl-
ton voters to remain away from the
polls, II is openly admitted by their
lenders that tho popullsts and demo-
Gratis have more votes than tho repob-
llcan party has In the state but that
they cannot get their vote out and that
the republicans will manage to win.
1t remains TO be seen whether popu-
lists will give the republicans the OPP
portunity TO resume their old methods
OF state government which have
brought the party into much bad re-
pute IN Kansas.
