IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

The Cedar Rapids Republican points
out that painting state house panels is
not matter of the square yard, but Of
talent, and advises those Des Moines
men who want to let art work to the
lowest bidder to subside.
1T is disheartening to think that the
solution of the airship problem means
the wholesale destruction of human
lives, but that very destruction must,
IN time, mean the end of warfare
says the Des Moines Register and
Leader. The Tennyson dream of
commercial aerial navies is still as
hazy and nebulous as ever. But
whether actual navies graphing in the
central blue will ever come into exist
ence depends considerably upon the
airship trials in st. Louis this week.

A telegram from Sterling, ILL.,, states
that citizen Of Mt. Carroll, small
nearby town, lost his home by betting
on the election and as result COM
mitted suicide by hanging. Nothing
could more clearly indicate the evil
tendency of the betting habit. Betting
to excess. is certainly vicious and is
calculated to bring sorrow and suf-
fering to the innocent The best rule is
not to bet at all, but if men will bet,
then they should draw the line abso-

THE HUMBLED PRIMA DONNA


CO HE prima donna opened her
Ill eyes 20 the gray light OF a
November morning. Her first
sense was one OF deep gratitude that
her alternate was to sing that evening,
and she lay luxuriantly in the thought
until girl came in from an adjoin-

she added, and gave herself up to the
ostentatious reading of a political

The breakfast tray was brought in,

remember how she cried that morn,

She looked up vaguely at the clock
on the mantel. "And one gets off at
an impossible station and walks a
mile, more or less, to the farmhouse

sure it is wretched out, and l shall

She placed her tapering fingers on
her beautiful throat and essayed q
run. 1t ended In a croak, at which
she shook her head mournfully and
glanced at the girl; but the girl was
writing a letter, and her back re.
fused sympathy, so the prima donna
presently arose and found refuge in
the compensations of the toilet. This
process was not completed before a
bell boy brought up card.
''It is the DOCTOR" said the girl care
lessly. But as you are feeling SO Ill,
I'll just do down and make your ex.
cuses."
The prima donna flushed "Ask him
to wait. On the second thought, ]
will go down myself"
The young man, who had been look.
