Hp-3 uC 6do was Iulucu up " lIS 1ull
height and fiared noisily in the front
parlor OF lodging house in the sub
urbs of London. Just underneath it,
so that the bright light illumined the
varying shade of her auburn hair, sat
girl, with the advertisement sheet
Of the Daily Mail laid upon the table
before her. One finger passed rapidly
down the columns.
~ wish were a cook, Neville. Here
are cooks required OF every size and
shape. no limit to either age or sex,
apparently. could get dozen stu
ati0ns tomorrow II could roast q
Joint properly, a.ld could earn for
tune II / could do made dishes"
The brother that Janetta Howard
addressed, was good-looking lad
about 10 years old. with dark appeal
ing eyes, and closely cropped curly
hair. The face was spoiled by the
purposeless, weak mouth and the char
acterless chin. He reclined in an easy
chair, and was smoking pipe, with
his hands thrust deep into his trouser
pockets. ss
What nonsense, Jennie! As If I
should ever consent to your going out
as . common servant! Besides, / don't
believe you could do red herring
properly"
"Given good IRE and a toasting
fork, would evolve the way to do the
herring" retorted Janetta merrily.
But that I dare not draw out our last
penny OF capital I would go in for a
series OF cooking lessons, come out at
the top of the tree. and take place
as cook in a high family, tell you
/ would not adopt the title of lady
help. I'd be cook, and rule my kitchen
with rod Of iron" And she clenched
her hand, as II she really gripped the
rod Of which she spoke.
And, falling this, what do you pro-
pose to do?" asked Neville lazily.
Anything that offers, replied jan
eta quickly, resuming her search
through the paper. 1t is quite clear
that. II you are to accept this chance
OF stool in an accountants office,
must supplement your salary in some
way; you can't live on II"
Il need not accept it; l can wait for
something better
wait until we come to our last
penny, in fact!" cried Janetta impa-
tiently. mo, Neville; you must take
this clerkship. and must get some
thing and help you all can. You
know I'm ready enough to do it; but"
with little break In her voice
you'll keep steady. dear, when I'm
gone? 2"
Her tone implied that the boys past
had not been altogether blameleas, and
he started to his feet, as II stung by
her words.
Il know I've been beast, Jennie.
I've wasted lot OF money; but II I
hadn't had such bad luck should have
won 1t back on the last Derby"
That's Just it--you'd no right to
risk It." replied Janetta despairingly;
but you'll leave it alone now--you
must promise me to try and keep
straight. l think 1t would break my
heart II you turned into drinking,
betting man like father!"
The last words were brought out
sadly and reluctantly. briefly telling
the tale Of the present low ebb in their
fortunes.
He's dead; you need not bring up
his sins against him. said Neville.

ION the end Of the snakes tail was
a sharp. bony growth shaped like a

the grasshopper carefully on the hook

THE snake crawled upon a log that

BRASS BAND,

To the suggestion that the surplus Of
the 4th Of July fund be applied to the
purchase Of instruments for a brass
band we have heard no opposition. No
action has been taken as yet to settle
the question. Discussion is in order.
In that discussion every contributor to
the fund is entitled to a voice if he or
she wants it. If the proposition to
purchase instruments carries; it means
that said instruments shall be the pro-
perry Of the town of Wadsworth, under
control Of trustees. 1t is proposed
that the selection Of members Of the
band be left to Prof. Henry and that
he charge a small tuition fee for his
services as teacher. AS 1t stands the
surplus is not sufficient and probably
$50 more will be needed to carry out
the scheme. One Of the ladies' so
energetic and successful on a 4th Of
July committee says:
The suggestion that the surplus 4th
Of July money be used in organizing a
brass band is a very good n and one
that should meet with encouragement
from our citizens. Wadsworth Is
up-to-date In every thing else. and why
be a back number when It comes to a
brass band"

gasometer is 5000 cubic feet and when
the plant is in full operation it would

The scene Of operations al this time is
about 200 feet to the rear Of the Me-

FIND THE GIRL.

When a young man asked a High
School young lady if he might call upon
her that evening she told him she had
a date and he came to the DISPATCH
office and wrote this:
They sat on the steps at midnight,
two fools that we're better in bed;
murmuring honeyed nethings, while the
silver moon hung her head. Two fools
with joyous Citations swapping the
microbes on their lips. and thrilling
with queer sensations from toes to their
finger tips. Telling the same stuff over
that was nothing when it was new;
giggling. gushing and burning but frozen
through and through. This is the fond
affection the young folks have to bear,
they think it love undying and angels
in envy stare. The bachelor says ii
is nothing. the old maids say it is vice,
mama says it is naughty and can't
call it nice.

COLONEL MORTON, DEMOCRAT,
is AFRAID OF BRYAN

Colonel Morton of Fargo, S. D., an
old-time Democrat, is out against
Bryan. He was once on General
Sherman's staff during the civil war
and few years ago was chairman
of the Democratic State Committee
of Minnesota. He is now one OF the
leading farmers Of South Dakota.
He says: Il note that the Demo-
cratic press throughout the country
IS claiming the many Democrats
who voted against Bryan in 1896 are
lined up for the free-silver advocate
now. l don't know how it may be
elsewhere. but it is not true in this
section. ! have been a Democrat all
my life, but the free-silver heresy
drove meas if did thousands of
other lifelong Democrats-to the
support of Mckinley. The farmers
OF the West cannot afford to have
a change in our financial conditions.
and with the election Of Bryan and
a Democratic Congress-of course
] mean both houses of Congress be-
ing Democratic-a change would be
inevitable. That II would be suici-
dial for our people Of the Northwest
TO hazard even a remote chance OF
a change is evidenced by the fact
that to-day our farmers can borrow
on their rich acres from 40 to SO per
