Glamour Gone From the Sea.
GKanaaa Cifv Tim 40 4 ss ~ u Y

The days OF romance as fast fading
into the past. Bold pirates no longer
rove the seas with fierce mustachics
and crimson sashes, q mutiny is but
a brawl and daily papers are delivered
on boats to modern steamships. True
it is that three masted schooners still
make the trip from Shanghai around
the Horn to New York and In every
large harbor may be seen ancient salt
ing vessels lying low in the water IN
mute protest OF the big liners which
are virtually great hotels afioat. But
decay eats in the heart Of theft an
.cient timbers so swiftly that another
generation will see their passing and
with them will vanish the, picturesque
old sea dogs who are the delight Of
those who love the ocean. to be re-
placed by the smart young officers Of

TEMPLES APPOINTMENT.
IRoxtan Nam Era


The appointment of Temple to the
office of u. S. district attorney would
hasten the downfall of the standpat
politicians in this state. He is a Bur
lington railway and Blythe corporation
man, If he receives the appointment,
does any one expect that he would
ever throw the harpoon into corpora
tons no matter how badly they needed
it? OF course Hepburn wants the APP
pointment made. He has to make
good for having aided the president In
attempting to pass wholesome laws
regulating railway traffic. If he falls
down. the Burlington road will have
no further use for him. If he sue
ceeds, the people of his district will
leave him at home, therefore, the cid
colonel is between the devil and the
deep sea, and he's going to make the
fight of his life to land Temple.

never thought OF quitting until nearly
shutdown and then did the chores after

and all that we had to buy for our
needs cost more than now. However,
the price OF whiskey was the same
then as now and If a fellow wanted to
raise old nick in general every Satur-

the .P.e GIRL

The Washington Post, thru New
York letter, gives the story of the Pie
Girl made notorious by revelations OF
the social customs Of New York ELECTED
from the evidence on the Thaw case.
This was the little girl Of is who was
enclosed in monster pie with canar-
les and blackbirds to appear practi-
cally in the nude when the pie was OPP
{ ened at q party OF blase artists and
men about town. The first part of her
story is familiar. She was the decent
daughter Of decent people until she be-
gan posing as a Photographic model
s From thence to the pie, episode her
story is well known. The sequel and
the last chapter is another story.
The girl disappeared and her par
er,ts heard no more of her. The police
failed to find her, so they said. Where
she was and what she underwent came
later. She had been the plaything OF q
great artist, who cast her of, as such
men always cast off such girls.
she hid away and in time her story
was forgotten. Then she married q
8 man who was in ignorance of her past.
! 1er marriage recalled the episode OF
the pie girl and the four and twenty
blackbirds. Her husband heard it:
With 1t he heard the rest Of the shame.
full story. He cast her Off as she had
been cast off before. She died in want
and was buried in the potter's field.
And the four and twenty blackbirds
went on singing.
All girls have their dreams. The lit
tile pie girl was no exception. But her
princes turned to ogres, her flowers to
fennel, and the enchanted castle to q
nameless and forgotten grave. It is, all
ways SO at the end of this road. It
begins with music and ends with
lEroans. The little pie girl is one
/ among the millions that have travelled
1T. At the end the charity hospital and
the gehenna Of the potter's field. And
i back in the city the blackbirds keep on
singing.
Think Of 1t. you women whose bur-
Y dens of toll and children and poverty
seem too much to bear, and thank God
for the children who trouble and the
home, however humble, that shelters.
Think Of 1t. you girls who find home
and home faces pail and home duties
irksomely lacking in excitement, and
E turn to new view Of the mercies OF
I God. For 1t is better to be peasant
woman, to scrub floors and wash win
dows, than to face death and the ncis-
oneness Of a pauper graveyard with
( the memories and the vain regret that
tortured the little pie girl When she
drew to the close OF the swift debaudh
that she knew as life.
Like dark sewer the undertow Is
sweeping thousands of women and
+ girls down to the darkness OF the pot
lter's field. But always, just above 1t,
in the sunlight and among the leaves,
the blaekbirds are forever singing.

We sometimes hear men sheer at
what they call Sunday school poll
tics" Such men are doing job of
self advertising which will be far from
profitable in the long run No intelli-
gent voter wants to put a back number
into office. Any man who sneers at
those who set q high value on religion
Is a back number. 30 far back that he
needs new binding and new insides to
bring him up to date. Honest re-
ligionists are men of high purposes and
demand that in politics religious prin-
ciples so far as they apply to public af-
fairs shall be held as of prime i'm
portance and duly regarded This is
the sum total of the Sunday school
politics sneered at The man who goes
round scoring the churches. making
sport of religious men, o, their scruples
or religion has for fellow workers

and plug ugly. He may resent the
classification but he should remember
the universal maxim that man is
known by the company he keeps. We
for himself We only recognize the
ldCtS as lie presents tIieIIl pV voluntary
acts. He allies himself with an unsafe.
dangerous class. A man may not be
professedly religious and yet hold the
fundamental principles of religion in
profound respect and hold himself
bound by them. Such men can be
trusted. But the man who ridicules
religion and the man who advocates it,
by doing SO gives public notice that he
ignores or rejects its teachings, that
he Is not bound by them but Is a law
unto himself. AS a rule such men are
unsafe. The exceptions to the rule are
so scarce that 1t is always hazardous
to put such men in official positions
where integrity is matter Of impor-
lance. Even men who profess to re-
spect religious obligation and to be
controlled by them do sometimes fail
us, thus showing that there is always
some risk, but the risk Is vastly greater
when one who advertises himself as be-
longing to the class which spurns these
obligations receives the suffrage of the
people.

There are certain changes in the

made but the highway commission has
recommended only two Of these this
year. 1t has recommended that the
county road fund be increased by one

one as heretofore, and decreasing the

better systematized administration OF

would prove successful has already

The second change recommen is an
act substituting county engineer, ap.

elected by the people to hold office as

service is rendered, for the present
county surveyors. Such an engineer
would have general direction of the

been demonstrated in Lee county.

Hoped up on the sidewalk Swirling
around on the wheels on the right side,
the buggy crashed into an iron fence
surrounding Dr. Woodward's lawn.
Mr. Wurdeman was unseated and hurl-
ed a distance Of twenty feet, striking
his head on the fence. He fell to the
sidewalk in dazed condition, bleeding
profusely from an ugly cash over his
right eye.
THE suddenness with which the We
hicle came to a standstill and the
plunging of the horse caused the shafts
to become disconnected from the body
Of the buggy. Unrestricted and IN
trammeled, the horse stood for a mo-
ment by the PROSTATE driver and then,
as if possessed Of human instincts,
marched up the concrete walk leading
to the porch on the east side Of the
physicians residence and mounted the
platform.
"At the door of the physicians Office
there is an electric bell with a small
push button. Over this was fastened
a highly polished nickel plated sign
reading, Patients enter without ring
ing
This evidently attracted the atten-
ton Of the horse. Suffice to say, the
vigorous and continued ringing Of the
bell attracted a member Of the family
to the door. Words could scarcely ex-
press the surprise Of the woman when
she opened the glass door and saw a
horse that looked as big as all out of
doors standing at the entrance Of the
office, rubbing his nose up and down on
the nickel plated sign. When the wo-
man uttered scream the horse took
his nose from the sign, thrust his head
into the vestibule and eyed her quiz
Zically.
''The physician went to the porch to
back the animal to the street when he
saw a crowd around a fallen man,
whose face and clothing were covered
with blood Mr.. Wurdeman was taken
into the physicians Office, where his
wound was washed and dressed by DR..
Woodward. Later he telephoned for
his father, who took him to his home
and had the horse sent to the stable.
The buggy was practically demolished"

AT its last meeting the Board of Trade

five hundred will probably be ordered,
will be used for two purposes:
To designate those who are members
of the Board of Trade;
To advertise to the world the fact that
the Board of Trade is working for a
