SHE GOT THE THIRD WARNING.

of his buggy and entered the old melon
patch. He remained in it ten minutes
or more.
Had anybody passed that way he
would have heard a gurgle like that
made by water dropping into a brook.
1t was the doctor. His broad chest
rose and fell, his head shook con-
Vulsively, his eyes were cast upward
very much to Tommy's alarm. Then
he wiped his eyes Tommy said after
ward, THE doctor c'ied'), and, placing
Tommy carefully outside the dilapi-
dated fence, drove rapidly away.
He returned later in the day. and.
summoning the neighbors who had
seen the last warnings, closeted him
self with them in a room. There he
displayed to their wondering eyes fac
SMILES of the picture they saw on the
melons. The pictures the doctor ex-
hibited were made on putty, curved
to resemble the surface of a good
sized watermelon.
Now" said the doctor in his brisk
est tone. 81 want you all to come to the
'dying-room' with me-"
The whish of skirts that Miss Jones
said she was sure was the wings of
the angels who would carry her to
heaven proved to be the retinue that
attended the doctor. fully resolved to
carry out his somewhat vague instruc-
tons.
The pale face of the spinster flushed
slightly as the room filed with her
friends.
Miss Jones'" began the doctor in a
hearty voice, 1--WE brought these ladies
here for purpose am sure they will
like. am going to order them to make
as much chicken soup, waffies, gravy
and mashed potatoes as they can pre-
pare in an hours time. They are your
guests-my guests also. I'll help foot
the bill if it's permitted-in short.

l want you to get up and set them a
good example by eating just as much
as you can. You need it. 1t won't hurt
you bit. I'd advise you to give your
shroud to the poor board-you won't
have any more use for it than I have
for fifth wheel to my buggy"
Miss Jones craned her head-she was
not sure she was not dreaming. But
there were nearly a score of familiar
faces. She sat up and gazed at the
doctor. The doctor laid down a parcel
where she could see it. Opening it. he
lifted out three fiat pieces of stone,
saying:
Il have brought you these stones to
show you where your three warnings
came from. / found them in the old
melon patch where they have been ly-
ing ever since Jabez Strong smashed
his wagon and broke the headstone
designed for his third wife into smith
Greens. He tossed them over the fence
There are enough left, l should judge,
to make a dozen more warnings. Pro-
vided the melon lying on them is big
enough to gather weight"
The doctor never finished his re-
marks.
OF all the women present no two can
be found who will agree as to the pre-
else words Miss Jones used. She lifted
one stone, smiled, sat up. demanded

upon corporation, and every corporation
is creature of law and laws, state and
national, must place upon the corpora
tions such limits and restrictions as will
protect the public from injury. We
heartily commend Hon. G. j Smyth, at
torney general of Nebraska, for his efforts
to enforce the state law against trusts.
We are in favor of an amendment to
the federal constitution specifically au-
thorizing an income tax; we also favor
a constitutional amendment providing
for the election of United States senators
by popular vote
We believe in u government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people, and
to the end that the people may exert a
mora direct and potent influence upon
legislation, we favor the use of the initia-
tive and referendum as far as the princi-
pie can be applied.
We point with pride to the prompt en-
listment of Nehraska's quota of volun-
teers and congratulate all of the Nebraska
soldiers upon their faithful performance
OF every duty that fell to their lot. While
the Second and Third regiments were not
called upon to prove their bravery upon
the battlefield, the members of the First
Nebraska have won for themselves and for
the state imperishable renown.
We cordially commend the successful
efforts of Governor Poynter to furnish to
the members of the First Nebraska free
transportation from San Francisco to
their homes, and we favor an appropria-
ton to cover the expense. But while we
commend the soldiers for obedience to all
orders emanatine from the chief execu-
tive, we condemn the administrative mol
icy which has converted a war for human
ity into war of CONQUEST. We believe
that the Filipinos should have re-
ceived the same treatment as the Cubans
and that. as the Cubans were assured Of
ultimate independence and protection. so
