vote railroad bonds to aid In the con
struction of a rnllrond.
Under this new law the construction
of the Yankton n Southwestern, II II
depends as the promoters say upon
municipal bonds, can not be carried
out and Norfolk and other towns on
he north and south line can not now,
4 they desire vote the bonds asked by
this line.
Promoters OF the Springvicw rail
road which had planned to strike from
Omaha into Keya paha county, can
not secure bonds now even If the peo-
pie of northern Nebraska desire to
grant them.
The law was passed probably Hike
a lot Of other laws, without regard to
the sanity OF the measure, but merely
because It seemed to be against the
railroads"
hut the legislature was not to blame
That Is what the legislature was sent
to Lincoln for-to pass anything and
everything which seemed to attack a
wild eyed corporation. Now they've
done their duty and some of the people
at home who had been laughing at the
argument for year that the railroads
are a help In building up new coun'
try, are going into mourning because
their right to help pay for rails is
taken away.
1t Is hardly apparent how the legis
lature will justify itself in depriving
any precinct to decide for itself wheth.
or or not II wishes to vote bonds for
Il railroad. People of Nebraska are
not children and ought to be able to
Judge for themselves whether or not
a business proposition Is worth their
money. But after all, the hystorical
demagogucs at home must take the
responsibility.

He says he loves you" she repeated 

He says he loves you," she repeated mechanically
 l There was a sob in her throat that ached intolerably. She felt an impera, tive need to get away by herself. She suddenly sprang up, and before the other two girls could collect them selves she was gone.
 | For an instant surprise held both O. them silent.
 She's a little bit off the top.' de clared Daisy.
 What could she have meant?' won dered Georgiana.
 T can't get aboardp' said Daisy. q don't think she knew herself. always did think that girl acted as if she had wheels"
 "If Pete were still here would ash him what he knows about her. She is singular" Georgiana agreed. "Bui what could she have meant?"
 "She never saw Kinross, and Kin. ross never saw you She was talking through her hat.Y
 "Of course," Georgiana again agreed reluctantly. It would be so much more interesting if Daisy's conclusion was not so inevitable-if Eunice had not been talking through her hat" | Meantime Eunice, alone in the haunted" chamber, seated on the side of the bed and staring with unseeing eyes into the darkness of the room, groped in a greater darkness of soul as she tried in her blind ignorance of life to understand her own great desola- ton. Engaged to be married! What did marriage mean to men like him? She had an unhappy knowledge of what it meant to such as Abe and the other countrymen about here But to a man like Dr. Kinross, man with an intel lect and soul as we'll as body, would not marriage mean something different to such as he?
 Suddenly a hot wave of realization swept over her. Some burning lines of Browning came to her mind: Be a god-and hold me with your charm. Be man-and hold me with your arm.
 Eunice sank down upon the bed and buried her face deep in the pillow. To her trembling heart only one thing was clear That which in the days just past had made the sun in the heavens shine for her as it had never shone be- fore, that was over He belonged to another. What had he to do with her or she with him? She was alone-ut- terly and absolutely alone.

 When an iceberg is launched upon Its long journey its bottom parts are barnacled with sand,~ powders and other detritus gathered from the land surface over which it has made it's tedious march to the sea. This burden is gradually cast off as it melts while drifting down along our continental seaboard.
 As result of the deposits thus made through countless centuries, combined with the products of erosion carried seaward by the rivers, the sea bed for many miles off shore has been gradu- ally filled up, creating those vast sub merged plateaus, known as banks" which extend from Labrador to the bay of Fundy and form the breeding grounds of innumerable shoals of cod, In this way the bergs have performed an economic service of incalculable value, laying the foundation for one of the worlds most important productive industries and affording means of livelihood to those hardy bands of captains courageous" who each year reap the harvests of the sea.
 The bergs serve further economic purpose in that to their tempering in- fuences are largely due the climatic conditions prevailing over great part of the interior of North America.-Al- fred Sidney Johnson in the World To- dov

Needed a Cloudburst,

Staying at an inn in Scotland, a shooting party found their sport much iIterfered with by rain. Still, wet or fine, the old fashioned barometer that hung in the hall consistently pointed to "set fair" At length one of the party drew the landlords attention to the glass, saying, Don't you think, now, Dugald, there's something the matter with your glass;" "No, sir," replied Dugald, with dignity, she's a gude glass and a powerful glass, but she's no moved wi trifies." .-e

 Georgiana regarded her with a pug zled surprise What makes you thinl so, Eunice?"
 "So have been told"
 'There is no nobler york;" Georgi ana insisted, with enthusiasm.
 Excuse me-" objected Daisy. "I'( rather take in stairs to scrub. If you want to know what I'm going to do Eunice, now that my education is fin ished"-
 "FinishedT' questioned Georgiana with gentle irony.
 Anything more that's done for it. Georgiana, will have to be a passive process. I refuse to cooperate. I've monkeyed with myself long enough trying to develop my latent possibili- ties.' Anything further in that line has got to be accomplished through Q process of absorption by means of my contact with you and uncle. Mean time I'm going to sit in the market, Eunice-the matrimonial market, of course. Pm down to the highest bid der"
 Daisy" Georgiana pleaded with her, If contact with me has given you no higher ideal than that
 "Oh, it's easy for you to talk, Geor. gie" Daisy retorted plaintively. Your market is made"
 What do you mean, Daisy"
 You're as good as engaged already to Dr. Kinross."
 Eunice had a sensation as though the earth were suddenly floating out from under her. What did it mean Daisy speaking of "Dr. Kinross 2" Was his disguise pretense and did these girls know him otherwise than as Pete? What was this which Daisy had said, "You are as good as engaged to Dr. Kinrossp' And he had told her that he ''loved Georgiana." Eunice felt herself floating amid clouds of illusion.
 Georgiana laughed and looked rather pleased. ''I'm afraid your assumptions are quite gratuitous, my dear"
 Well, at least there isn't the least doubt as to what his feelings will be-" Daisy predicted. You'll do him brown! He won't be able to help himself no matter how much he'd like to be a misogynist or whatever you call 'em." "I'm not so sure," Georgiana protest ed, but she laid her hand affectionate- ly on Daisy's arm.
 But you may be sure," Eunice spoke with a half gasp and almost without volition. "He does love you" "What?" Daisy turned upon her.
 "Yes, Dr. Kinross does love her"
 Eunice's voice sounded hollow to her self She was dazed. There was a dull dead weight upon her heart, an unde- fined but keen sense of loss and pain. Dr. Kinross and Georgiana were "as good as engaged"

CHAPTER XXI.

TN the uncomfortable restlessnes.
 that possessed her during the
 dragging days while she waited
 A for Dr. Kinross' return, Eunice became so doplig (awkward) that she proved sore irritant to her already outraged foster mother
 Cant you watch what you're about oncet?" would be demanded of her dozen times day when, in her dis traught state, she would spill, break, burn or otherNise destroy. What's got into you these couple of days back? You don't do nothin' right! What do you think pop'll say at your leavin' all them pie git spoilt? I ast you did you take 'em to the spring house and you saved yes, you did, and then here this morning there they stood standing in this here hot kitchen all night yet! Pop'll jaw somepin turrible!' ! It was In the occasional brief respite from toll in the evening hour, just be- fore bedtime, that her unrest became l feverish, maddening; and one night it governed her to the point of driving her to seek at least a moments diver sion from her unbearable heart hunger in an unprecedented act On her re- turn from the spring house, where she had gone to finish her last bit of the i days drudgery, she deliberately sat down with the two young ladies on the porch steps.
 Miss Ellery had become an object of expressing interest to Eunice since Dr. Kinross had told her that he "loved Georgiana." Georgiana herself had in the past few days observed the scru- tiny she underwent whenever she was in Eunices presence. The girl seem- to hang upon every word she uttered, In a way which secretly gratifed Geor- giana's love of ascendency.
 What's the lnatter Eunice?" asked Daisy in surprise and curiosity as Eu. nice joined them, for the farm girl had seemed during all their stay at the farm to shrink from any inter- course with them. Have you and Abe had scrap?"
 "A scrap of what?"
 Daisy sQuealed. You know, Flu nice, the course of true love never runs smooth, so, to be sure, you and Abe must expect to have rows now and then. Is it in Shakespeare, Georgiana, or the Bible? But never mind. No doubt Eunice knows. I can't account for your favoring us with your society, Eunice, unless you've been fighting with Abe and are wanting to be sym pathized with. I'm sorry to say I cant oblige you. I couldn't possibly sympathize with a girl who would or could take an interest in Abe, brute who thinks woman's a pack horse. Oh, that kind of man! How I'd love to stand on my hind legs and jump at him! Eunice," she said earnestly you're too nice q girl for Abe. Choke it off. You don't need to throw your. self away on a chump like Abe-a girl like you"
 Eunice, gazing fixedly at Georgiana, made no comment upon Daisy's advice.
 Would you object if I asked you a question?' she inquired timidly of Georgiana.
 Certainly not" Georgiana smiled kindly. Ask me what you like, Flu. nice"
 How do you occupy your time when you are at home?"
 Up to now" Georgiana answered, ''I have spent all my life in school and college. Now I am going to take my place at the head of my fathers home. As he is college president, my life

withstanding that the crop is reported
to be anywhere from % to 33 1-3 per
cent short throughout the belt. the
matter of gathering that of the plant
which did mature is proving a diff
ficult problem, according to the re-
port of a number of growers. Owing
to the numerous naval stores and
lumber plants in operation through
out this section of the country, all
clamOring for labor and paying good
wages, it has been a problem to
secure pickers, and it was reported
here Wednesday that growers are Of

fairs is laid at the doors of the mill
