she had DONE She knelt by the bed
and poured out her heart in prayer
and low, sobs, and peace seemed to
come to her troubled soul Her head
rested on the folds of her old, black
dress that she had taken off. and by
its side a rusty, black bonnett and a
pair of shabby gloves lay One hand
rested on the white counter-pane, and
was hard and toll stained and pitiful-
ly small. 1t was thus her husband
found her where she had fallen asleep.
He stood and looked long at the little
figure kneeling there. 1t seemed so
helpless and abject strange he
thought, how frail she looked and
he wondered why he hadn't noticed it
before. Memory brought back some
scenes of when they had been younger,
and all at once a great lump came into
his throat as he looked at the bundles
on the bed for they seemed so little
and insignificant beside the kneeling
figure at the bed side. \ great sob
came from his heart and tears to his
eyes, and quietly and tenderly he
stopped over and gathered her up in
his strong arms, as he had done so
many times when she was young, and
thus he carried her back to her room.
Easter morning came warm and
beautiful, and as Mary Henderson sat
by her husbands side, people caught
glimpse of something in her face that
is not borne of earth, and as David
Henderson listened to the trium-
phant anthem, ''He Is Risen," and
looked at the tall lilies raising their
lovely heads in snowy grace, he felt
that something in his heart had risen
to new life and that old things had
indeed passed away forever.

Kansas Addin Leads.

Gradually we are coming to look to-
ward Kansas for light, if not for
sweetness. The state that once bled,
that once sat in perpetual sackcloth
and ashes as the NIobe of the Union,
now floods the land with sunshine
and sends from ocean to ocean and to
stirring note of gladness and hope
Today this note takes the form of a
political platform, the platform on
which the Republicans OF Trego coun-
ty are willing to find footing through
at least one campaign. 1t may be set
down in full as follows:
Resolved, That we let well enough
alene''
The kansans, with the possible ex-
ception of William Allen White, haye
not been dIstinctIvely known as wits,
yet here we have the very soul of wit.
The brevIty of this platform is re-
freshing, and yet how it covers the
entire situation.
Let well enough alone. Don't
change public officials simply because
an election time has come around.
DON'T turn the political house upside
down merely because some other COM
munities are housekeeping. If things
are going well, let them keep on in
this way.
What new picture of Kansas is re-
vealed in this model platform. No
longer the wall of the disconten ted;
no more the yawp OF. the chronic,
longhaired reformer; no more reams
on reams of good white paper cover
ed with procession of discontented
'twhereasesn and Utopian ''resolyeds. =
Just short verbal Sigh of content, Il
businesslike statement that 'sall's
well'' and sensible resolution let
this well alone.
1t Is difficult to believe that this
has come out of Kansas: that Kansas
has set all the politicians Of the land
an example; that once more it is in
the van. But there stands the plat
form where all may read it as they
run; broad enough for the present,
broad enough for the future. 1t COW
ers all the ground, this bit of optim-
ism whence so short a time ago came
naught but weeping aud wailing and
gnashing of teeth.-Chicago Evening

Best Hutchinson SpelIer Is Eighty.

There are good many inpromptu
spelling matches in Hutchinson as "a
result of Superintendent Prices ar
ticle in regard to the respective pro-
ficiency as spoilers of school pupils of
today and those of sixty years ago.
In a number of homes his list of
words was given out and the mem
bers of the household tested their
ability as spoilers. Some of the SEEM
ingly easy words were found to be not
SO easy, and the school pupils need
not feel so dreadfully ashamed, if
they could only know the results of
the attempts at spelling of some of
these adults.
One interesting contest was at the
home of Mrs. j. NJ. Shepherd and her
mother, Mrs. 4. NJ. Courtright, was
the speller. Mrs. Courtright is en-
tering on her eightieth year, her
seventy-ninth birthday having occur
red last February. The list of test
words were pronounced to her and
she spelled all but one correctly.
Mrs. Shepherd does not remember
what word it was she missed, but it
was OuC vi tnC dOiC VI iotC hlhd
and Mrs. Courtright got it wrong.
This is a fine record, but may not
prove anything, except that Mrs.
Courtright, herself, is ID good speller.

START THE WORK
FOR GOOD ROADS
STATE COnr1lSSlON READY To
OPEN CAMPAlN.
1t VIII Get Information as to Condi-
nons Turnout the State and VIII
det Start in Each Neighborhood
Champaign of Education.

The state highway commission will
make It's first move in a few days IN
the campaign for good roads. The
engineer OF the commission, George
w. Cooley, has spent the last few days
getting settled in the quarters in the
new capitol and in looking over the
situation, and active work will be
begun at once.
The first move will be the gather
ing of information as basis for work.
To this end the commission is sending
out to one or more persons in each
county a circular asking for in
formation as to the conditions
in the county. The questions
asked include the number of
miles of county and town roads in
the county, the miles of graveled and
macadam road, and sentiment in the
county for good roads, but the in
formation most sought is the material
in the county available for building
good roads. Accompanying this cir
cular is another which includes copy
of the state highway law and calls
attention to ike proposed work of the
commission.
The tax of one twentieth of mill
upon the property in the state for aid
in the construction of good roads is
levied with the regular taxes this year,
but the money will not be available
until March next year, so that until
then the commission cannot aid in
the building of roads. But out of the
appropriation for the expenses of the
commission it intends to aid in the
supervision of roads constructed by
the counties, by giving instructions in

ESSAGE OF HOPE.

Speaks.

Who can better give advice than
one who has profted thereby?
Mrs. nj. A. Phelps, 2217 Elliott Ave-,
Minneapolis, speaks TO the suffering
and the afflicted through this medium
hoping that what she has endured
and the miraculous manner in which
she was relieved may be the means
of delivering others from the ravages
Of disease and affection.
So unusual was her experience that
her letter reproduced in part will not
fail to interest those who are seeking
health and happiness. She says:
stAfter suffering for over a year from
stomach trouble and billiousness it is

den.

Hearing SO much of the famous
New Discovery medicine and the
wonders it was working for the sick
I tried it. I have taken one bottle
and its effect has been marvellous.
My digestion is good, as is also my
appetite. I feel stronger and better

Stomach and Kidney trouble, Rheu-
matism, Catarrh, Deafness, Blood dis
eases and Paralysis all disappear and,
as repeated tests have proved, never
return.

the methods of good road building.
One road is being built near Little
Falls by Morrison county which the
state engineer will supervise.
Get a Start.
"All we want is to get a start III
each neighborhood," said Mr.. Cooley
Saturday, "and more good roads
will follow soon. When the people
see piece of good road in the neigh
borhood they will want more of it.
They important thing is to get the
first piece of good road built in each
community
The work of the commission will be
part educational and active work in
aiding construction of roads. The
educational work will be done through
various ways. The commission has
arranged with O. G. Gregg, superin-
tendent of the farmers institute, and
now good roads lectures are given in
connection with the Institutes. There
are several county good roads associa-
lions in the state and the educational
work will be carried on through them.
Among the countries that have such
organizations are Benton, Blue Earth,
Olmsted, Freedom, Nicollet, Henne-
pin, Anoka, Waseca, Steele, Walton
wan, Ramsey, Mile Laos, Polk,
Morrison and Chicago. There is also
the tri- county association, represent
ing Stearns, Benton and Sherburne
counties. Beside this there are
number of farmers clubs, which will
aid in the work.

In Addition to Bond Issues.

and it's subdivisions to aid railroad
building, calls attention to the land

Of railroad builcing, bond issues are
Insignificant in comparison to the vast
estates of land given to the roads.
More than 100000 acres of land
in Minnesota went to the railroads.
The total land area of the state is not
quite 100000 acres,so that more than
40 per cent of the public domain was
handed over to the railroad companies
to encourage them in construction.
This was not the poor land of the
state, either. The congressional
grant of 100000 acres to the North
ern Pacific was almost all placed along
the line from Duluth to Moorhead,
and south Of that line. Most of the
other grants were south of it, and,
therefore, in southern Minnesota.
The Duluth & Iron Range grant was
in St. Louis county, but contained
lands rich in timber and minerals.
The old Manitoba grant included a
slice right thru the Red river valley.
The majority of the grants were
made by congress. The Northern
Pacific grant was made direct, and
was filed to the extent of $780,
acres, according to the best figures
attainable. Other grants We're made
by congress to the state to be con-
veyed to the railroads. These grants
were filled as follows;
