Carson made no reply. He was

from the altar steps a long stemmed
lily and offered 1t to her.

Employees Are Docked for Minutes
Loss of Time.

Loss OF lime.
Its an old story that the United
States treasurer occasionally pays war
rants for the sum OF one cent TO credit
ors OF the government, said an old
department clerk the other day, but
it's so well known. but equally true.
nevertheless. that government clerks
are sometimes docked one cent for
overstaying their annual leave a
minute or a fraction thereof, In the
treasury department in particular the
rule is ipfiexible tha< ,selerh who eS-
ceeds the regulation leave even Tor
minute in year shall forfeit n pro-
portionate amount OF his pay.
The taxation of delinquents re-
quires eternal vigilance and careful
calculation. but It is regarded as es-
sential to the best interests of the SER
vice. No fractions Of minute are
considered and there is no penalty less
than n cent. The salary per minute is
determined by dividing the annual sal
ary by all the working days, which ex-
clude Sundays and holidays, and al
lowing seven hours for each day. on
that basis 1t is computed that the sal
aries OF government clerks average
about cent n minute. or course.
some are more and others less, but
that covers the most OF them.
1T does not seem much to deduct
ten cents from the 81 200 salary OF
clerk who has exceeded his sixty days
leave by ten minutes. but he invari-
ably treats such action as great out

citizen. The other day woman In

Roland B. MolineuX, who was twice
been tried for the murder of Mrs.
Adams, is a free man. Once he was
convicted and sentenced to die in the
electrical chair, but he was granted
a new trial. The last time, after one
of the most exhaustive legal battles
in criminal history, Molineux was de-
clared innocent. At each trial new
evidence was brought by the defense
and the last time Cornish was ever
connected with the murder of Mrs.
Adams. The murder is still a
mystery, and doubtless it will take
years for the crime to be cleared up,
If it ever is. The manner in which
the father of MolineuX stood by
his son was something remarkable.
He never wavered for a moment in
the innocence Of his son and was his
constant companion at the trials and
in the prison during the four years
that the case has been in the courts,

And drift away unto Olympus high
And quite forget this vale of beers and

deem News presents J. L. Browne, OF
Brown county, for speaker of the
house of representatives in the state
legislature, and has the following to
say concerning the hgentleman's fit
ness for the position:
j. L. Browne of Aberdeen. member

bers by his ability, fairness and even
temperament. During the session

perience in this state he has served
several terms in the Kansas legisla-
ture, has been commander Of Robert
Anderson post of the Grand Army

ing officer at a great many important

hibited an unusual power to expedite

tangelements, and is in every other
way the ideal man for the posi- ion Of

mony on his side is presented through

by the defense to establish what
would be regarded as a reasonable
fee in a case similar to the n con-
Quoted by Mr.. Preston, and taking
all things into consideration he
stated that $3.50 would be regarded
as satisfactory.

A Y. NJ. G. A. down at Columbus,
Ohio, went in TO help the railroad
men. They established a bank where
they cashed the paychecks of the rail-
road men. Heretofore there were
two saloons to one store in the
vicinity of the shops of the railroad
company, and the men went to The
saloons to have their checks cashed,
with the result that a goodly portion
Of the check went over the bar.
The Y. M. G. A. started to cash
the checks and at first the sums
were small, but after two years the
bank is cashing checks at the rate
of over 81 900 per month. This plan
is carried on in a great many places
over the country and there is a decid-
ed difference in the saving of the
earnings of the railroad employees.
