Washington. Sept. 1.-The recent re-
ports OF sharp bayonet fighting in Man
churia have had the effect OF directing the
attention OF ordnance experts to the rod
bayonet provided for the new Springfield
rife. with which the United States Army
Is soon TO be equipped.
The advocates OF the bayonct claim u Is

the Krsg-Jorgensen riae- The rod bayonet
IL slightly shorter than the knife bayonet
and when not In use may be dropped by
means OF a thumb spring. into a small
chamber Of the barrel OF the rife. This
simplifes the carrying OF the new bayonet
and lessons the weight TO be carried by
the soldier.
Friends Of the old-fzshioned bayonets
insisted that the Knife was useful as an
implement to be used in digging trenches
and other fertilization work. The officers
who favored the rod bayonet admitted
that knife was Of some use In this work.
but maintained that special implements
for this work should be carried and In
sisted that soldiers should not all be
burdened with a heavier bayonet when
this weight might well be placed In tools
which would Re far more useful IN dig

PEG DRESSES.


A Grandmother's Hint About Gowns
md Their Wearing.
"The way to be well dressed" said
grandmother, "is never to have peg
dresses That was my mothers rule,
and have always made 1t mine.
what nre peg dresses| Why, gowns
that hang In ones closet, are not often
worn and get n little out of style. They
are apt to be the best gowns by
which l mean those for dressy occa-
sions. Most of us have but one, which
is worn SO seldom that it becomes a.
problem to keep 1t always in style, for
there is n limit even to the changing
of sleeves and alteration Of the adorn-
ment of lace. When that is reached
the owner must be firm with herself
and discard the dress in Its present
form. For this reason think 1t good
plan to have this gown of rather mex
pensive material and let its beauty be
in the way 1t is made; then when Il
must step down from its high estate
we can put the scissors to it with bet
ter grace, for have always found that
1t takes moral courage to attack rich
gown which Is just too much out of
fashion to wear. As this dress must:
be made >over, I think it well to pur-
chase material that will afterward
be suitable to go with the rest Of the
wardrobe either us fancy waist, trim
ming or perhaps as silk petticoat."-

Simplify the Ballot.

Through the kindness of B. w.
Jewell we are in receipt of one of
the official ballots used in Nebraska
at the recent election. It is some
thing over seven feet in length, and
is very strong argument in favor
of some change which will simplify
our present method of voting for
president and vice president.
To commence with, why not omit
from the ballots the names of the
presidential electors. Their duty is
simply to register mechanically the
wishes of the voters. Each state
has the right to regulate its ballot
and the manner Of its choice OF
presidential electors. Might it not
be we'll to drop the names Of the
electors entirely from the ballot and
substitute the name of the candi-
date, and provide that vote for the
candidate for President shall be
considered also a vote for the cleo.
tors whose names have been duly
registered with the Secretary d
State by the State convention which
nominated them? This woulc
shorten the ballot, prevent split
electoral tickets and simplify vot.
ing. 1t needs no constitutional
amendment to put it into effect.

Hope.

Planting his thoughts and words
like seeds, man must wait for his
harvest, and Hope helps him. Daily
it is his staff and support. Indeed,
without this joy-producing faculty
man could not live. At first child
hood is saved by hope of a coming
youth; in youth the boy. conscious
Of his rawness and immaturity, is
saved by hope of a coming mature
development; in old age, when the
man sits upon the western piazza
and waits for the sunset signal, and
realizes that his life is now all be-
hind him, he is saved by hope that
his plans that are rooted on earth
will ripen and wave their fruit in
heaven. Not one other quality is
SO practical. Hope does more for
field and factory, and office and IL
brary, than any other gift or grace.
Ambition plants the seed, faith
waters it, work tills the soil, but
Hope points to the coming harvest.
Look at these new immigrants, come
to drudge in street and mine and
forest and field. What saves them
during their inconsistencies and Their
bitter encouragement? They are
saved by the hope Of a coming COM
petence. of a little cottage of their
own, with their own vine and fig
tree. 1t is Hope that saves the poor
seamstress, climbing the garnet
steps; it is Hope that guides the
boy setting forth to make his for.
tune, with weapons for their battle
and victory. Hope is a refuge from
life's fierce heat; it is a hospital fol
hurt hearts; it is a shield for de-
Tense; it has wings for uplift; it is
also the star toward which man
journeys. Great is the power o!
work, Of courage and persistence.
but it is Hope that nourishes, in.
vigorates and sustains the other
faculties.-Newell Dwight Hills

Why Tunnel the Streets of Great
Cities?

Many millions Of dollars have
been and are now being spent tun-
neling the streets Of London and
New York, and measure is on foot
to expend $50,000,00O on system
of tunnels for Chicago. Instead of
tunneling, why not build the streets
two or even three stories high? The
second story street might be mar
rover than the surface street, and
connected by covered walks or foot
bridges with the second story of
each building. And the third story
street might be still narrower, and
connected with the third story of
each adjacent building in the same
manner as the second story street.
These streets could be constructed
so that there would be an abund-
ance of air and light upon each, and
they would certainly be great i'm
provement upon stuify, grewsome
tunnels. Then again. cities could
regulate the traffic over these streets
and require all teams and heavy
loads to go by way Of the surface
street. The street cars might have
precedence on the second story
street, and automobiles and all vehi-
cles propelled other than by horse
power might have the third story
street. If it is profitable to con-
struct buildings ten stories high
and in some instances twice that
height, what valid objection can be
urged against having the streets at
least two or three stories high?
With streets two or three stories
high there would be no need for tun-
nels.
