The real estate agent was endeav-
oring to impress Mr.. Potter with
the extreme desirability Of the
house in Hubedge. he opened the
door at the head of the cellar stairs
with a flourish.

said briskly, 'but you can see there's
everything anybody could wish in q
suburban cellar-hard cement bot
tom, whitewashed sides, good coal
and wood bins, approached by raised
platform; furnace the same, set

"What's the need of those raised
platforms you speak OFF" asked Mr..
Potter, peering into the darkness,
Handy in the spring and fall

Mr. .Corson, owner of the saw

timber in the county, and the owner

George Wales cut his thin squad

them in his front lot b.. the road.
Then he waited for the time when
he should accidentally be visible on

FLOWER OR BOOK.
The Lesson of Life That is Depicted
In Tiny Raphael.

an aiuy thAP4t9|.-
One of the most interesting
Raphaels in the National gallery is
a tiny drawing of .'The Knights
Vision"
Hardly larger than sheet of
foolscap paper, it yet has many of
the qualities, in all their pristine
loneliness and radianey, that We
have learned to look for in the ear
lier and the finer Raphaels.
On the ground lies the knight
asleep. Near him stand two female
figures, the one offering a flower,
the other a book, while in the back
ground one sees one of those adora-
bic little italian landscapes that are
half the charm of the old pictures.
The flower OF the book, the prim-
rose path of dalliance or stern wis
dom, the tale of this choice runs
through all our history. Herakles
has the same tale attached to him.
Meditating in solitary place,
alone, upon what use to put his
marvellous strength to, two women
appear to him, Vice and Virtue,
each representing the advantages
to be gained by choosing herself. It
is overeasy to lose sight of how
completely life is at all points
matter of choice, daily-nay, an
hourly-renewing choice.
Which shall it be, a definitely di-
rected will or an easy drifting with
the current? We decide it when we
open our eyes on the daylight every
morning.
Life undirected, life that is not
held taut to an ideal, an object
over bit beyond the grasp, is the
life that becomes a bore, that slack
ems hold on all things and drops
YEARLY into whatever channel is
near and runs its course to the end.

MIX THIS AT HOME.

The following simple home made
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of rheumatism by
forcing the kindeys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poieonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache, weak
kidneys and bladder and blood difeases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract dandelion, one half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce: Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces
Mix by shaking we'll in a hottie, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
again at bedtime.
The mixture IS said to- give prompt
relief and there are very few cases of
rheumatism and kidney trouble it will
fail to cure permanently
These are all harmless, every dav
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
if not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug house for you, rBther
than fail to use this, if you are afflicted.

OLYMPIA, April ia serious error
has just been discovered in Louise bill
No. II, which will be chapter 2i6, Sc s.
sion laws of 1907, which will probably
invalidate all that part OF the law in
creasng the number of road districts
that county commissioners may create
to twenty-four. If such is the case the
old law limiting the number to not
more than four will remain on the stat
ute books.
The act is purported to repeal section
I, chapter 119 of the laws of 1903, and
the title of the bill so designates, but
in the body of the act section l instead
OF section is repealed.
In all probability this will render the
section and chapter above referred to
null and void, and in that event the old
law will prevail. When the law was
up for discussion in the legislature the
provision increasing the number of dis
tricts was attacked on the ground that
it would give the county commissioners
an opportunity to build up a stron g
political organization. However, it is
generally conceded that in the 1908 law
was passed for the same purpose.
Just where the error was made in the
bill has not yet been determined.

Certain newspapers having printed
stories to the effect that municipal
ownership in Lincoln. Neb. is failure,
F. W. Brown, mayor of that city, has
issued the following interesting and in
structive statement:
For the first time since their associa-
tion began twenty years ago the fact
that w. j. Bryan is resident of Lin
coin has been sought to be turned to
the city's disadvantage, and its citizens
have recently been panied to note that
the fact that it is the home OF Mr..
Bryan has marked Lincoln as the vic
tim of q cabal that is conducting a
campaign against public ownership.
About a month ago there was sent
out from this city letter prepared al
the Importantly of such a cabal, the
manifest purpose of which was to dis
credit municipal ownership of public
utilities. 1t was a most glazing mis-
representation of facts, possessing such
glib and glittering qualities of decep'
tion that it has challenged the atten-
tion of friends OF this city wherever it
has been published, and to all who are
conversant with the actual facts stamp
ing itself as the uncouth work OF some
one bent on dstracting favor from pub
lie ownership Of utilities.
This letter was sent broadcast for
publication by any paper that would
give it space, but up to date my atten-
tion has been called to its publication
only in two papers, widely separated
the Philadelphia Record and the Seat
tie Post-Intelligencer. Under the
alarming caption, "Lincoln Costly
Work-Municipal Ownership in Ne
braska's Capital an Utter Failure in
Every Aspect Loot Ruin and Loss, .
the writer introduces his subject as
follows:
"The incompetency of the municipal
ownership or management OF public
utilities, and the hopelessness of the
success of either plan, seldom has been
more forcefully illustrated than in Lin
coin the capital city of Nebraska and
the home of that distinguished politi
clan and orator, w. ]. Brya97s The
fact that Mr., Bryan lives in Lincoln
when he is at home has no direct con-
nection with the failure Of municipal
ownership in the Nebraska capital, but
it must, nevertheless, be taken into
consideration.
"Mr. Bryan has preached to his fel
low townsmen for the past twenty
years on questions of government
local, state and national. He believes
in municipal ownership, just as he be
lieves in Federal ownership OF the rail
roads, and the casual American might
be justified in the prediction that the
citizens OF Lincoln, having listened fol
years to his exposition of the solution
of the problems of local government
should have made some tangible head
way toward the goal Of success"

of addressing his horses with his usual
profanity he called out simply: Get

which had never failed him, refused
utterly to bulge. "John.' he called %
