Democratic papers are in real guam
derry as to what to say about tax reform
SO fur as their party is concerned, since
the state platform is 50 vague on the
question that it is meaningless. And
they are afraid to say that they arc
satisfied with the present system and
thnt it is good enough Without an
issue on this they devote their efforts
to abusing Dawson, and making false
charges against him.

the ocean voyagers bulletins Of
important news hours before the
pilot could get aboard with his
bundle of newspapers.
But this, apparently, is not
enough. The possibility of pub
fishing a newspaper on every day
of Transatlantic voyage was
made manifest by Marconi's dis
covery, and now it is announced
that the coming summer will see
the daily newspaper on liners act
ually established.
The idea is that an eastward
bound ocean steamer will be in
touch with. American wireless tel
egraph stations for half the voy-
age and can turn to the British
stations for the remainder. The
"local" department will be easily
handled, as there is always some
news and no end of gossip avail
able on an ocean liner. The pro-.
iect is interesting, undoubtedly
practicable and possibly profta.
BILE. But is there to be no place
on sea or land where the weary
soul can find refuge from stock
reports, racing results and like
distractions. 1t will no longer be
possible to enjoy the sense of Sc
clusion, even isolation, which All
ocean voyable once made possl-
BILE, unless the tired traveller shall
seek to forget the bustling world
by taking passage in a sailing
ship. However, there seems to
be no gain without some loss, and
in case the project materializes
it will be a wonderful enterprise
and a great advancement in the
progress of the newspaper busi-
ness.

Sleepers on Trolley Lines

The Holland Palace Car company of
Indianapolis has received the first of
the sleeping cars which it has had
built ut Wilmington, Del. The car
cost $4,000 and has ten compartments,
with upper and lower berths. The
dressing rooms have every conven-
ience, even the most minute details be-
ing provided, such as electric cigar
lighters in the mems rooms and cleo
tric hair curriers' in the women's rooms.
The cars are so arranged that when
made up for day travel they are chair
parlor cars. At night partitions are
placed, roll curtains brought up from
brass slots in the floor, and ten COM
partments, each with single lower
and upper berth, are made. Each car
carries GOO horsepower motors and is
capable of making sixty-five or seventy

Just the Spring Fever.


When all the birds are singing
Their cheerful roundelay
And everything proclaims of spring
And tells Of coming May,
On. then the young mans fancy
Leads him Of love to think:
He NUNS a tune and starts to spoon.
And all the neighbors wink.
Perhaps 1t is a microbe
That's gnawing at his heart;
A naughty germ may have q firm
Grip on some vital part.
And so he spends his money
For neckties and such trash
And takes the road for her abode
Determined to be rash.
Nor Is his errand fruitlcss,
Nor Is his welcome rude,
For In its whirl spring gets the girl
And puts her in the mood
To hear his tender message =.
And lead him inch by inch,
And so before he finds the door
The wedding Is a cinch.
AS In the haZy twilight
He slowly seeks his rest
A heavenly peace has signed a lease
On all beneath his vest.
With joy his heart Is jumping
And turning 7somersaults;
His brain whirls round, for he has
found

1t was soon after Franks new depar-

things he wrote:

A droll smile crept over Albert's face
at this frank admission, but he made

face, now turned slightly away from
him, and recalled that last evening o.

devoted herself to the entertainment

bER was not lost upon his friend
ESEY Frank
After their Christmas visit to Sand
gate Albert had applied himself dill
gently to the care of Mr.. Nason's legal
needs. This brought him into contact
with other business men, and the fact
that John Mason employed him easily
secured for him other clients. IN two
months he not only had Mr.. Eason's
affairs to look after, but all his re-
naming time was taken up by others
He had spent several evenings at the
Easons' home and found the family n
much more agreeable one than Frank
had led him to expect. Both that
young mans sisters were bright and
agreeable young ladies, and though q
little affected, they treated him with
charming courtesy and extended to
him a cordial invitation to have his
sister make them a visit.

blush to his face every time he thought
OF It, but he kept his own counsel
Once or twice he had been on the point
of telling Frank the whole story, but
had refrained.
In his intimate relations with John
Mason he saw enough to satisfy himself
that Frye's insinuation against that
busy mans character was entirely
false. Mr.. Mason seldom spent an
evening away from his home. and when
he did 1t was to attend the theater with
his family.
