every one else looked up to him. He
said l was too good for him.
One evening he came TO see me after
I'd been writing. 1t was spring even
Ing. The moon was half full. The air
was laden with the Odor of flowers.
Lightning bugs were flashing between
day and dark, and it seemed to me that
the earth was dressed in spangles and
the moon was lighting them up. There
was n daffOdil sky in the west. with
only one fine long cloud over the hori-
zon that looked as if it had been drawn
there with purple and vermilion pen
Gil
l felt my lovers hand laid on mine;
then an arm stole around my waist
He told me how he had loved me even
when we were children at school: that
he used to steal away from the other
boys to be with me. to listen to the
strange things / said TO him. He didn't
understand them. but they lifted me
upon plane above him and stimulated
his fascination for me. 1t was all very
sweet The moon looked down on us
with smile. The frefies grew dim
the pencil streak in the west died
away. He asked me if l could give
him my love. l let my head sink on
his breast. where l could hear the pull
sations of his heart, and said:
yes"
The next day I began to wonder IL
I'd done a very fine or 4 very silly
thing. There was no moon. no fireflies.
no pencil mark on n daffodil sky.

was to come to see me in the evening,

| afternoon resolved to tell him that
I'd made a mistake; he must release
me. They told me he had been to see

learned that I'd gone away without

nearly frantic. l waited for him tC

The Ideal Candidate.

r. r. Reynolds, democratic nominee
for county judge, is proving an ideal
candidate, not only in the admitted
superior qualifications he possesses fol
the office. but in the nature of the
campaign he is conducting. He is ask
ing support, not on the ground that
anyone owes the Office to him. OF
that the people owe ii to him because
he needs it. He believes that expert
ence and legal training give him the
right to claim consideration. He has
not been a chronic office seeker, and
the present nomination came to hin
wholly without solicitation on his part
Having been hOnOred with the nom
ination he feels it his duty to do all il
his power to be elected, and the evi
dence of the peoples confidence which
appears on every side is in the high
est sense both gratifying and encOus
aging to him.
The office of county judge is one il
particular in which fitness should b;
considered in the candidate. No onC
will doubt Mr.. Reynolds eminent ad
vantage in this respect.
He is the man who should be elected
He is the ideal candidate.

DAILY STORY Y.
A BRIEF ENGAGEMENT.



Poets are fitted to portray love rath-
or than to practice it. To be in love
to them means to he lifted into realms
compared with which our ideas Of
heaven are tame.
l knew 4 poe.css once, Miss Sarah
Tones. She wrote under the pseudo
nym of Madeline Lee. Miss Jones
was real poetcss. Unfortunately
critic was required to appreciate what
she wrote, though a real critic would
place her poems on n pretty high plat
form. He would read her verses, how
ever, With the wish that he might
catch hold of her skirts and pull her
down to a nearer proximity with real
life. feeling that if he could do so she
would express it beautifully. Never
theless Miss Jones occasionally dipped
| into Il light vein and when she did so
was remarkably successful
Miss Jones was fifty. She was as
impractical rs a flying machine She
was continually getting locked out of
her house because she could never re-

he incurred ill-will at the start. When
the aldermen protested, he insulted
them. Finally, when he made his COM
mittee appointments, and the aldermen
presumed to take exception to his
policy in any respect he flew into a
rage and again the knocking machine
was in full operation. Later, when pa
thence ceased to be a virtue. and The
Argus felt it duty to comment on the
ridiculous spectacle that was being
made of the city in the absence of a
chief of police, McCaskrin the
mayor lost his head and ran
about seeing how much damage
he could do the town, openly declaring
that in six months time he would have
grass growing in the streets. And all
| this, not because the town had done
| him any harm-as matter of fact
had only done itself harm in
electing him mayor - but be-
cause an influential newspaper had
dared to take exception to anything he
| had done. The man who had taken the
| liberty to criticise and had even gone so
far as to personally assail the charac-
| tiers of others without number, could
not stand criticism himself. The same
abominable traits that characterized
the politician cropped out in the pub
lie official-abuse for all who differed
with him and destruction of the whole
town if possible. The knock mill was
again running.
| What wholesome good can. come %
a city whose mayor is public Sian
derer and a public blackguard? Where
can be found the people who will seek
residence in a city cursed with such 1t
spectacle? To the outside world
where McCaskrin is not known,
the course he is pursuing cannot
fail to prove otherwise than harmful
to Rock Island.
And this Notwithstanding that in
Rock Island his mouthings are as chaff
wasted on the desert air.

why the Subsidy Failed.

AS a matter of fact, says the New
York Nation, we have yet to hear 2f
an American exporter who can not get
all the goods he can sell to South
America eXpeditiOusly carried thither
With the great amount of shipping III
the world now looking for employment.
you have only to pile up freight on the
shore anywhere. and the steamers %
take it will promptly appear. Nor was
there any thought of making lower
rates for American merchants by
means of the subsidized lines. Indeed,
one argument for the subsidy is the
competition of tramp steamships, with
their cheap rates. But the really gap
ing hiatus in the subsidy argument ap-
peared when we asked what cargoes
the new ships were to bring back from
South American countries. Their chief
exports we heavily tax on arrival here.
Their wool and hides we could not
think of allowing to come in free to
compete with our own.
Yet with that national policy firmly
established, we propose to vote money
out of our own treasury in order to
hasten and cheaper the coming of
more of the deadly wool and hides uf
foreigners. Could the force of self
concentration further go? We start
out by admitting that we can not com.
pete with foreigners, and then we are
to give s3.000,000 year in order to
make their competition more effective?
German and English steamship lines
have been built up on an intelligent
and comprehensive theory Of foreign

Legislation to Preserve Forests.

The Appalachian and White noun
tain forest reserve projects belong to
the great class of measures which ev-
eryOne knows to be deserving but
which stand only a poor chance of early
adoption. The arguments in favor of
the forest reserves are of general ap-
plication. Government control of such
tracts prevents wasteful numbering
safeguards the watersheds from fresh.

ers. protects against forest fires and is
in every way wise and far-sighted
policy. Why, then. restrict its benefits

The Firs. Dancers.

People have danced for thousands
of years. and will probably continue
to do so for ages to come. This Gus
tom is of ancient origin. The first
people to dance were the CureteS, who
adopted dancing as a mark of rejoicing
in 1913 Il. G..
In early times the Greeks combined
dancing with the drama. and in ~ Is
c. pantomimic dances were introduced
on the Roman stage. At the discovery
of America. the American Indians
were holding their religious. martial
and social danCes.-EXchange.

WHY MANY PEOPLE SUFFER
FROM CONSTIPATION.
A Sure and Safe Relief.

Constipation is most often caused
by a torpid liver or failure of the stom-
ach and bowels to perform their
proper functions. The condition is
commonly due at first to irregular ha0.
its of living and improper food. and if
properly treated can be readily re,
lieved 1t is, however. too often az.
gravated and made chronic by the use
as medicine, of powerful and expensive
drugs, which purge and perhaps give
temporary relief. but are so drastic in
effect as to damage the lender lining
of the stomach and bowels, leaving a
condition worse than at first. This
can, however, be avoided, and the bow.
