Since the murder of President Nc
Kinley the Italian police have directed
all their efforts to ensure strict
watch being kept over dangerous an
archists. The Italian consuls in Dal-
malta lately signalled the departure OF
a certain Natalie Glavinovich, describ-
ed as violent anarchist, and said to
have declared to his companions that
he was going to Rome. and would not
return without having first murdered
the pope. Cardinal Rampolla, and,
perhaps. other personages. The clos
est watch all along the Adriatic coast
was kept, 1t being known that Glavino-
vich had left by sea. but he succeeded,
no one yet knows how. in landing at
Ancona, and reaching Rome undis-
turbed. Even in Rome he was able to
maintain his incognito for a few days.

Prudent Business Men Now Get Rid of
That Pomposity.
Some of the most successful busi-
ness men in this country make 1t a
rule to dispense with the services of
any man in their employ. no matter
how important his position may be.
as soon as he comes to regard himself
as Indispensable" says Success. This
may seem harsh and even unbusiness-
like; but, II we look into it, we shall
find that there is wisdom in this prac-
tice. Experience proves that, the mo-
ment a man looks upon himself as alb
solutely necessary, he usually ceases
to exercise to the fullest extent the
faculties which have helped him to
rise to that indispensable point. He
becomes arrogant and dictatorial, and
his influence in an organization is
bound to be more or less demoraliz-
ing. Many concerns have been seri-
ously embarrassed by the conduct Of
managers, superintendents, or heads
of departments. after they had reached
positions where they thought no one
else could take their places. This
undue appreciation of ones own i'm
portance is as disastrous in its re-
suits as utter lack of self-esteem. 1t
is really evidence of a narrow mind.
and ignorance of general conditions;
for the man who is up to the times,
thoroughly posted in regard to the
worldwide trend of the twentieth
century, will realize that there are few
people in the world no matter what
their talents or ability, who cannot
be replaced. 1t Is very rare charac-
ter, indeed. that Is imperatively nee
essary, and the man who actually
reaches this point does not brag Of it.
nor act as If he considered himself
indispensable"

Ulin and Julian.
Ulin hesitated and trembled, and
finally sat down upon the bench from
which the chieftain had arisen. In a
few moments she had recovered her
self so that she could speak without
faltering.
Good sir. have one question to ask

though the old impulse still led her;
you had not planned to leave the

he turned upon the maiden a look so
earnest and SO deep and SO full of
tumultuous feeling. that she shook be-

indicate that he was not perfectly at

The princess asked no more ques-
tions, but busted herself with her own
thoughts.
AS the sun was sinking from It's
daily course, Ulin wandered out into
the grove alone, and as she approached
the spot where she sometimes sat with
the hermit, she saw Julian, seated
upon bench beneath an orange tree.
AT first she thought of turning back.
and retracing her steps; but an i'm
pulse which was no result of her will,
but rather an instructive emotion, as
though some secret force, led her on;
and almost before she was aware of it

heard her stop and looked up. He

however, the look was gone, and
shade of sadness succeeded. The
maiden could not now have withdrawn
even had she been so disposed in the
first place. Following the strong i'm
pulse, she advanced to the shadow
of the orange tree and placed her hand
upon Julian's shoulder; and 1t thrilled
the youth like an electric shock.

to speak above a whisper when she

We are frequently asked nowadays
If man should buy or rent farm. If
n man has teams and tools enough to
run n farm, and enough money to
make payment down, we would be
in favor of buying. A man can work
his own land to better advantage than
If he rents it. Then, too, he will be
more saving while paying for farm.
He will not buy many unnecessary
things that would tempt him If he
were not trying to pay for his land.
Besides this he can make improve
ments during odd spells without much
expense. There is also the increase in
the value of the land, which of itself

PEST DISAPPEARING;
SPARROWs ARE SCARCE.

The English sparrow, which has
been such pest all over the country
for many years, seems to have dis
appeared in large measure. and the
large hocks that have been noticeable
in the past have been conspicuously
absent. just what the cause of their
disappearance can be attributed to
cannot be determined. The war
waged on them by the small boys for
the bounties could hardly have
brought about the result, as the law
has been local in illinois, and it
would not seem that ii could have
made any appreciable inroads on
their ranks.
Some observers state that the mar
tin has been on the increase and think
the latter birds have driven the spar
row away. Whether the increase has
been on account of the lessened num-
Der of their feathered enemies or the
latter have driven the former away
cannot be told. The same conditions
exist nearly all over the country.
A few years ago the sparrow was a
problem, as he seemed to be driving
away the other birds. Nature seems
to have solved the problem in some
way herself. Perhaps the hard win
ter has frozen the little fellows out.

spoke for two hours on the political
issues of the day. In his contention
that taxation should be paid by all in

said:
What is the result Of the unequal

case was heard by Judge Thompson,
and he ordered the assessment of

capped assessment, the poor people of

make up the deficiency"
