PLAN TO AMEND CONSTITUTION
| Changes Receiving Endorsement May
| De Reformed TO PconIe

BE Referred to People.
LINCOLN, March S.-(Special. Among
the measures that are reaching the top of
the file is the concurrent resolution of Sen :
ator Crow, which provides for submit
ting to the people at the next general cleo
tion the following amendment to our state
constitution:
Section Either branch of the legisla-
ture may propose amendments to this con-
stltution and If the same be agreed to by
! three -ffths of the members elected to each
house such proposed amendments shall be
entered on the journals with the yeas and
nays and published at least once each week
in at least one newspaper in each county
where newspaper is published for three
months Immediately preceding the next gem
eral state election, at which election the
same shall be submitted to the electors for
approval or rejection. II a two thirds ma
jority of electors voting at such election for
or against the same adopt such amendments.
the same shall become a part of the con-
stitution. When mere than one amendment
Is submitted at the same election they shall
be so submitted as to enable the electors
to vote on each amendment separately"
IN past years amendments to the consti-
tuition have failed to carry because the
courts have held that under the constitution
1t takes two-t thirds vote OF all votes cast
at the election to carry the amendment
voted upon. AS hundreds of voters do not
vote on the amendments at all and all
those votes must be counted against the
amendment under that construction the odds
are always heavily against success If SEN
ator Crows proposed amendment carried
1t would only take a wo-thirds majority of
the votes cast for or against the amend
ment' OF course it is bound to run against
the very article it seeks to amend, as il
would take two-thirds majority of all
votes cast at the election to carry 1t be-
fore the article as it now stands could be
amended.

yes, that was a profitable month";
Concerning his January receipts he test-
fled to receiving $40 from the insurance
companies and 800 from the state for his
salary besides his expense account. His
expenses in Chicago examining insurance
companies he placed at about 800, saying
he paid his railroad fare to Chicago, being
suddenly called away before he could get
a pass, for which he was duly sorry.

son. In reply to his questions he testified
that Lichy was the one who urged him to
take up insurance examinations during his
spare intervals, saying he thought he was
the right fellow for the work. Attorney
Cornell questioned him at length concern
ing the time employed each month in his
work as treasurer examiner, the object being
to show that he fulfilled his duties as he
Interpreted the law.
What advice did Mr.. Poor, deputy auditor,
give you concerning work in January %
asked the attorney.
He said it was useless to examine treas
ureFs in January as they settled with the
state that month and would not be at home"
M. Fisher asked Attorney Cornell If he
thought it would release Auditor Cornell
from responsibility because his deputy had
advised Simpson to do that which was wrong,
TO which the attorney replied that Deputy
Pool had told him the truth about January
work.
In regard to holding down two different

Maxwell had served as supreme judge, as

also the Ann Arbor law school, drawing good

WOMEN'S
SECRETS.

There is one man in the United States
who has perhaps heard more women's
secrets than any other man or woman in
the country. These secrets are not Sc
crets OF guilt or shame but the secrets of
suffering, and they have been confded
to Dr.. r. V. Pierce in the hope and ex-
pectation of advice and help. That few
of these women have been disappointed
in their expectations is proved by the
fact that ninety eight per cent. OF all
women treated by Or. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured, Such
record would be remarkable If the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than halt-a-mil-
lion women, in a practice OF over thirty
years, il is phenomenal, and entities DR..
Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by
women, and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first Of specialists in
the treatment of women's diseases.
Every sick woman may consult DIR.
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge Every wonan's letter which
contains her secret remains her secret
1t is read in private, answered in private,
and its contents guarded as a sacred con-
fdence. That no third party should enter
into this secret, all replies are mailed,
sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, with
out any printing or advertising whatever,
upon them. Write without fear as with
out fee, to DR.. X. v Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.

THE STORY OF A DRUM.

A regiment in motion and the rattle of a drum,
With rat, tat, tail and rat, tat, tuml
Fear is on the face of some,
Others stepping with aplomb,
And steady is the patter and the clatter Of the
drum
Sweeping lines in evolution, fast the wheeling
columns come,
And a thousand men are stepping to the tap
ping of the drum.
Thel countenances glum,
There are senses dull and numb,
But boy is stepping proudly there, he's play
ing on the drum
The rage and roar of battle, and the rattle of
drum,
The shrapnel shot flying with zip! and q
yum!
Cruel shells exploding come,
And the bullets hiss and hum,
But drum still echoes loudly. Will the thing
be never mumf
Darkness ON the field of battle, where the body
seekers come;
The storm of death is ended and displayed the
struggles sum
4 pallid face, a drum
There is blood, and both are dumb
A story of drummer and story of a drum.

eft is cause of amazement to me
that man can go on year in and year
out toiling for family whose members
show no interest in his work further
than to spend the money he makes and
who look upon him as the family mint, !"
writes Frances Evans in The Ladies'
Home Journal. lily firm belief is that
had he in the first flush of married life
talked over his business and ambitions
with his wife she would have become
interested in both, first for his sake and
afterward for her own and their chill
drens Think of the gulf that lies be-
tween man and a woman united in
marriage when he never speaks at home
of the affairs which absorb his entire
day! Mutual interests will bind people
together indissolubly even when indif-
ference, that dangerous bridge of sighs
has swallowed up affection.

where Paris ExceIs London.

There are some things that the French
do infinitely better than the English,
and one of them is the establishment
of their capital city. No absolute reason
exists why London should not be as
cheerful and beautiful as Paris. The
difference in climate is small, and it is
not wholly to the advantage of the
French metropolis. And if money be a
consideration there is quite as much of
that commodity in London as in Paris.
Some statistics, however, which have
just been published throw an interest
ing ray of light on the cost of keeping
Paris bright and attractive.
It appears that the title of Vile Lu-
miere is not as well earned as one might
imagine, seeing that there are but 3d.
400 lanterns, more than half of which
have but one burner each. The boule-
wards and avenues are ornamented with
So, 400 trees, which is no mediocre feat
to accomplish, considering the inhospi-
table nature of the soil. They are to a
large extent plane trees, which have
been found more suitable than most
other kinds. There are, however, no less
than IA, 500 chestnut trees, whereas the
number of elms is still greater by 100.
This brotherhood of venerable trees,
as Wordsworth would have termed the
scattered forest of Paris, and their
maintenance costs in round numbers
$65, 600 a year. There are 8, 800 seats in
the streets and squares which cost the
weary foot passenger nothing, and a
very large number of supplementary
chairs which can be had for a penny.

81 didn't pay any attention to these
gibes, however, but the route around
the big tent surely seemed long one.
But L didn't know what was in store
for me. About half way around the
tent was the press box. 1 didn't know
this until-well, until 1 saw my
friends in the box. There were about
$50 of them, guess.
''Perley stood right in the middle Of
the bunch. He had got 'em all to take
part of the afternoon off just to give
me send off on my debut as circus
guy; also Perley had arranged that
there should be hitch in the process
sion just as my palanquin hove directly
in front of the press box. 1t must have
been very serious hitch, for my pal
anquin was in front of the press box
for quite ten minutes. The ~ Roman
soldiers were given the word to drop the
palanquin and take a rest. They didn' t
stand on the order of dropping it, but
dropped it at once-with such suddeness
that my feet shot up into the air and
my jewel studded lid was jammed
down over my eyes, and I must have
been sight for fact
'Well, while 1 was Strengthening
myself out my pals in the press box be-
gan to bid me welcome. They gave me
an ovation. All of 'em had brought
along those big rafting things that You
turn around ON handle and horns and
tin whistles and things like that, and
for the ten minutes that the prearranged
hitch lasted they gave me the greatest
ovation you ever heard in your life.
''They leaned over the rail of the
box and talked at me familiarly, calling
me by my nickname and mentioning
out loud numerous tumultuous events
in my checkered life.
''Then they all howled in chorus I'M
der the leadership of Perley, who direct
ed the bowls with cane that he used
for baton. 1t was great, that's what
it was. All could do was to lie there
on that derned cushioned thing and
grin. I didn' say word-just grinned
''They congratulated me in vocifer
GUS tones on the hit was making, and
the whole tentful of people caught
on. was the whole show on that after
noon performance of Barnum's circus
and you want to remember that. The
whole tentful of folks took up the guy
ing, and you talk about a man feeling
like Korean coinl
''Finally, to my intense relief, the
hitch up in the front part of the pro-
cession-the hitch manufactured by
Perley-was at an end, and my IL Ro-
man palanquin bearers hoisted me up
in the air again.
''Then my friends in the press box
gathered themselves for one huge, final
of their enthusiasm. Howls
failed them in this, and so they buried
me under an avalanche of fish horns,
rattles, whistles and things-ittle offer
ings, they shouted, indicative of their
esteem and appreciation of my first ap-
pearance on any sawdust.
