I WONDER WHY

WONDER WHY!
wonder why lives filled with sorrowI
Whose ev'ry smile but CLEANS thro' unshed tears
Each hopeless day doth naught but sadness DOR
row.
Until the weary days grow into years.
wonder why no happiness doth enter
Nor blissful dreams e'er charm the long, DARK
night
Around such lives ill-orened birds concenter,
Whose outstretched wings exude a pois nous
blight.
wonder why some vainly WOO good fortune.
To find elusive bubbles soaring high?
Whose evry grasp and hopeful. fond endeavor
Ends in a mad Departing cry7
wonder why some lives pure and noble.
Neer find the helping hand prayd for IN vain'
Nor word nor look. encouragement bestowlns
Nerves them TO bear and yet bear again
wonder why Fat in unequal portions
Withholds or gives the blessings that we crave
Perhaps when Life shall answer Deaths stern
challenge

A Halloween Experience.

A business man related his expert
ence the other day in refer- uce to those
pranks. A year ago his
front gate was carried off during the
night, along with great many others.
In the morning two little boys came to
his house Juggling the gate between
them, and to reward them for their
kindness the business man gave them a
quarter. OF course it stands to reason
that the boys told their friends of their
good fortune in getting that quarter.
The incident passed out of the business
mans mind until the morning after
Halloween this year. His gate was
gone as usual, and as he came out of
the house to 90 down town he was met
at the opening in the fence by two little
urchins, with smiling countenances-
and the missing gate. A quarter was
fort hcoming and the boys went on their
way, still smiling Now the business
man wonders if that wasn't a pre-.
arranged scheme to work him for
another quarter and how much tina,
gate is going to cost him in the years
to come. Young America is not 80 slow
! when it comes to financial matters.

A Republican Record.

The record made by the county COM
missioners in the past year is one that
reflects the credit on the republican
party. For instance the measure that
was adopted by the board which per-
mitted all back personal taxes, up to-
and including 1896, to be paid without
penalty was the means of bringing into
the treasury between $1,000 and 81 900,
q great portion of which in al proba-
bility would never have been paid
County Commissioner Kress suggested
this idea to the board and its adoption
has resulted in clearing up taxes that
have stood on the books for fifteen
years. Another action taken by the
board was to reduce the tax levy. In
1898 the levy was 8 $40 mills. For
1899 the levy was reduced to 6-10
mills, nearly one-halt what it was q
wear ago.
