oermany's Leading Woman Novelist.

Clara viebig. is the most widely
read of Germany's women novelists.
She is a pitiless realist, yet her work
rings true and has much artistic worth.
A certain portion OF the press and the
public affect to decry her and to look
upon her as great talent gone astray
and wallowing in the mire. But what
ever the soul of the woman may have
suffered from these attacks, her work
has shown steady line of upward
development, and unflinching holding
to artistic sincerity and high purpose.

Does the Piano Ruin the Nerves?

An eminent Berlin nerve specialist,
who had his attention attracted to the
chronic nervousness of many pianists,
has been studying the piano from the
pathological point of view. Out of
1000 young girls whom he examined,
each of whom had begun to study the
plano under the age of Ii. no less
than coo had some nervous malady,
while out of 1000 who had never
studied that instrument only 100 were
afflicted The Berlin specialist has
promulgated the theory that no child
should be allowed to learn the piano
before the age of 16.

Farm Policy.

Employees of the state dairy and
food department report that there is
an increased interest in the dairy
industry in those districts Of the
wheat belt which suffered last sum-
mer from the rust, says the Mime
apolis Journal.
II takes a hard blow at the pocket
book, such as a crop failure, to show
some people the advantages of diver
sifed farming. Every poor wheat
year has been followed by greater
attention to other crops in the locali-
ties where the failure was most felt.
These experiences have taught the
farmers that wheat land will do
splendidly for other things besides
wheat, and that some of the other
crops bring nor reliable returns,
Wheat is a sort of a g~entleman's
crop. 1t means hard work for q
short season of the year and leisure
the rest of the time. The whea,
farmer works under high pressurs
and makes good money, as a rule,
during a few weeks of the summer
and the rest of the year he is taking
things easy and spending the money
brought in by the wheat. The farm.
or who depends on wheat alone is al
extreme development from the old
style farmer who bought little anC
sold little, living by patient indus

The Great Sells & Downs Shows,
which exhibit in Las Vegas on to.
morrow feature everything connected
with it, from the street parade to the
concert. The press of other cities
have only the most favorable com
ment for Sells & Downs Parade.
Even when the show visits territory
where it has never been, its magni,
ficent street pageant so ~agreeably
surprises the public that they are
sure to crowd the immense tents. 1t
is in the parade that the management
of a circus can show to good advan-
tage the stability and character of
the aggregation. If it is a cheap con.
cern, giving only ordinary perform
ances, its parade will tell the tale. II
it is really a meritorious concern
the street display will demonstrate
the fact. "The splendid equipment
of the Great Sells & Downs Show .
says the Topeka, (Kas.,) State Jour
nal, was shown to EXCELLENT advan
tage in the big parade, and it was
generally complimented. The horses
were in fine trim and the tableau
wagons, dens, cages, and chariots
were resplendently decorated with
costly carvings, gilt and varnish. AT
unusually large number of the dens
were open in parade and the general
public was given a free exhibition ol
a fine array OF wild animals. All in
all, 1t was pronounced by many the
finest and best circus display evel
seen upon our streets. and we have
had them all" Then the Journal
says: But it was in the circus per

Pensions for Our Soldiers and Sailors.
The national democracy favors lib

adequate legislation to that end. But

1t by a congress that dared not resent

order was made in the performance
OF a duty imposed upon the president
by act of congress-" but the provision
making the imposition is not pointed
out. The act to which the order re-

Judge Parker's Letter
Accepting the Nomination

who had reached siNtytwo, Many
prominent veterans urged the justice
OF congressional action giving a SER
vice pension to all veterans. Bills TO
that effect were introduced In con
gress, And not until March Of this
year did anyone ever claim to have
made the discovery thar the president
had power to treat the statute as II 1t
read that when a claimant had pass
ed the age OF siXty.two years he is
necessarily disabled onehalf in ability
to perform manual labor and therefore
entitled to a pension.
The president Of the civil service
commission, General John G., Black,
formerly commissioner OF pensions,
and commander-in.chie OF the Grand
Army of the Republic indicated his
view Of the order when in "A recent adj
dress he thanked the president for
what he had done, and advised his
hearers TO use their influence that a
law might be passed TO the same Of.
feet. Full confidence, after all, seems
not to have been placed on the de-
Tense of justification, for it is pleaded
in mitigation that a former democrat
ic president did something looking in
that Iirnpttnp Evan IL thaf MORA sn
which Is not admitted-our present
duty would be none less plain and
imperative. Our people must never
tolerate the citation of n act OF
usurpation of power as an excuse for
another. The first may possibly be
due to mistake; the second, being
| based on the first, cannot be. In ex-
PLANTATION, however, it should be said
that order relied on simply provided
| that the age of seventy.five years
| should be regarded as evidence Of in
ability to perform manual labor, Few
men are able, to perform manual labor
at that agS. but nearly all men are at
sixty-two. The first order Is based
on a fact that experience teaches, the
other is based on the assertion of that
which is not true as a general rule.
The old inquiry, What are you go
ing to do about it," Is now stated in
a new form. 1t is said by the adj
m~inistration, in reply to the public
criticism of this order, that at is easy
to test our opponents sincerity in this
matter. The order in question is
reyocable at the pleasure of the exec.
utive. If our opponents come into
power they can revoke this order and
announce that they will treat the vet
Grams of sixty-two and seventy as pre-
sumably in full bodily vigor and not
entitled to pension. Will they authori

so we accept the issue"
