DAILY STORY
A MAID AND A METHOD.

Copyright, 1907, by Mary McKeon.l
He finally managed To get his cigar
to working satisfactorily and stretched
himself comfortably on the grass.
She leaned back against the tree
trunk and watched squirrel Oh Il
neighboring branch.
Harrington noticed that she seemed
to have entirely forgotten his presence
unless there was merely comfortable
consciousness of the fact that he was
there if she needed him.

satisfaction.

She wriggled her blond head into Il

had said something truly gratifying.

The Political Pot.

In the state of Illinois the republican
political pot appears to be boiling n
a pretty active sort of a manner. bIt
if you will cast your horoscope over
the political plain, yOu will find that
all the activity is among the candi-
dates who want the Offices and moi
among the people who are to do the
voting. All the candidates have their
representatives out gyrating over thu
state with petitions for the nomination
of some particular candidate. Instea
of the people petitioning the candi
dates to run for office, the candidate
are petitioning the people to sign
their petitions.
1t is probably all right. for if a man
wants an office. if he doesn't get ont
and convince the people that he Is
just the best man for the job, he is
liable to get left. and see other people
stepping in ahead of him into the pO
litical waters somewhat like the laml
man saw others getting in ahead o
him in the pool of Saloam.
1t is peculiar, though. when yo,
read so much about the political az
tivity that when you stop to look fo
| it, YOU Will find all the animation an,
all the activity is with the peopl,
who want the jobs. while the average
voter hardly knows what is going or

Everything, my dear man, depends

leading to the hotel.
That afternoon Harrington lay half
asleep his new magazine over his face,
in the shade of the bushes that grew
back of the summer house.

And he walked down the path whis-
ting.
Harrington sat up, let his magazine
fall unnoticed to the ground and brush

His gray eyes were twinkling as he
crept into the summer house.
He caught the startled girl in his
arms. "a man has Il perfect right tc

Virginia's face tried to adjust Itself

1t Needs Verihcation

Here is what the Bourbon Advance
says about our would be muck-rak-
err
Exchanges should take pains to
investigate scandals and personal at
tacks made by the Editor of the In
dependent Of Plymouth, on citizens
both public and private; as the editor
has an inclination to take advantage
of his personal grievances and view
things darkly. Ever since his vicious
attack upon Ex-county Treasurer,
VIM O'Keefe it should take more
than his personal statement to create
an unfavorable impression against
the majority of those whom he ar
raigns through the columns of his
publication.
A newspaper cannot at all times
await the verihcation of a piece OF
news that m its way. Many times
a public official is most cruelty
wronged by exterior appearances
Such seems to be the Ease with Pros
ecutor J. A.. Molter, who, is under
the hammer guided by Editor Nets
ker Of the Plymouth Independent
Whether right or wrong the manner
in which the editor referred to Mr.
Molter, gives clearly the view that
| rankles in the heart of the editor.
