Here's a New One

Des Moines, Iowa. Feb. 1S-A bill providing for trial marriages will be introduced before the legislature adiourns, and it's enact ment into law will be urged by some of the prominent members of the body. The bill will provide that marriage contract may be entered into by a man and a woman for period of five years, and that at the end of the five years the husband and wife may renew the contract if they so desire.
 Many members of the legislature are giving the question of trial marriages serious study, and the legislature has made an appro- priation to secure a copy of the trial marriage bill which was recently introduced in the South Dakota legislature.
 Evidently some of the Iowa legislators think they married the wrong girl.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
[continued from Page onel

This af erno m the house took up the substitute for Doran's mining tax bill and in order to hasten matters 400 copies were ordered printed, the vote being Is to &, which would indicate the probable ultimate passage of the bill by a two-thirds majority, which is sufficient to pass over the governors veto which is sure to be exercised.
 According to an agreement made yesterday the house went into a committee of the whole to hear the views of Attorney General Clark on the valadity of the freight rate bill this morning. In the opinion of the attorney general "there is substantial doubt about the valid ity of the bill because it conflicts possibly with the Hepburn act" Further in his written opinion Clark stated to the house that there was 30 much doubt that ito render a positive opinion either way would be imprudent"
 After the committee had con sidered the bill motion to report it favorable when the committee arose was passed by vote of 12 to 10, but when it came later to en gross the bill the full strength of each side developed.
 Passing the Doran bill in the council this morning was no sur prise, for when adjournment was taken late yesterday afternoon, just after o'Neill had begun the reading of the governors special message on mine taxation it was believed that on vote only O'Neill's vote would be cast against the measure.
 O'Neill's most striking statement was his apology to President Roosevelt. which will probably stir the chief executive to do some thing nice for O'Neill. The mem Der from Maricopa stated that dar inu fhe rpcept stafohood ca m no ;up he had denied the alleged assertion of President Roosevelt that cor porations control Arizona, but now he wanted to apologize to the presi- dent and pay tribute to his superior wisdom. O'Neill. Locke,t and Scott were the only voters for the bill.

Misplaced Affection

Misplaced Affection A fool there was and he made his
 prayer,
 Even as you and I; What matter the color of eyes or
 hair? Just fix that yourself, for you've all been there; Now he wanted a kiss-but he
 didn't dare, Even as you and 1. So he asked for one-such foolish
 thing
 But he didn't even try; And the maid was thinking about
 ring, And a wedding -perhaps-in the
 coming spring, And she said to herself: "I'd like
 :. to sing"
 But she'aave little sigh. For the Fool had ventured to call
 her Dear" Even az you and I; But the maid showed never a sign
 of fear, Tho if truth be told he was rather
 near,  And he sought her lips-but he
 kissed her ear, Even as vou and I. From the March Bohemian.
