WOULDN'T DIsPELL HER DREAM.

The full moon never beamed more
kindly upon a loving couple than it
did upon he and she as they sat on
bench in our beautiful City park
enjoying the cooling breezes that
winged their way down from the
snow-turbaned peaks of the great
range lin which they were given birth.
The moonlight was dancing merri-
ly upon the breeze-rippled bosom of
the lake as they sat snuggled up
close together, one of his manly
arms betting her corset at the waist
line and her head resting trustfully
upon his shoulder.
"Have you noticed the delightful
aroma in the air tonight?" she asked
in voice so sweetly soft that it
seemed a fusion of the cooling of a
dove and the whisperings of an ev-
ening zephyr. "It must come from
the flowers over yonder by the big
cannon. Such soft, dreamy, delic-
ious fragrance that soothes the sens
es and almost causes one to ina gyne

| invisible wings of a dream to the

THE NEXT CONVENTIONS.

Detroit and Milwaukee are already
making efforts to secure one or both
of the national conventions in 1912,
says the New York Times.
However tedious the big, noisy,
protracted conventions may be to the
delegates, and however drspiriting to
the whole country, they are profitable
to the cities in which they are held,
ANA therein lies the danger that the
plan lately suggested by Champ
Clark, and approved by the most in
telllgent men of both parties, to re-
duce the number of delegates by one
half and limit the seats for specta-
tors to 1000, will not be adopted.
The prevalent idea that a national
convention must be made very prof
liable for somebody cannot easily be
corrected. Growing cities are always
looking for means to increase their
growth and prosperity. Probably
Chicago will not be SO anxious for a
convention four years hence as it was
this year. The amount of money ex-
pended by the delegates and the big
throng of unofficial visitors does not
count for so much in SO large city,
but many of the smaller cities are
an2tous for the money a convention
brings in and the supposedly valua-
BILE advertisement a town gets from
four or five days of political hullaba-
loo.
Yet there is little difference of
opinion as to the undesirability of
repeating every four years such
senseless exhibitions as those at Chi
cago and Denver. They waste time
and money, and they detract from
the dignity of our political system.
If Mr.. Clark's plan is carried out the
work of the conventions can be con-
Quoted more rapidly and with more
regard for form. On the other han1, ,
the western towns will not be so
eager to have them.

A RUNAWAY TODAY.

There was quite an exciting runa-
way this afternoon about 2:30
o'clock
A team owned by Tom Butler, the
colored man, was the cause of the
excitement. Butler had just un-
hitched the team from a wagon in
the Crawford addition and was in
the act of hitching the horses to- a
plow when they ran away and start
ed east toward the business center of
the town.
A doubletree was attached to the
team as they raced up Main street.
In front of Loehler's clothing
house they came in conflict with the
wagon and team of A. r. Brown. One
horse started around one side of the
wagon and the other started around
the other side. AS a result both of
the horses were thrown down. The
tongue of Mr.. Browns wagon was
broken and his horses were badly
frightened.
The runaway horses were badly
bruised and sustained many small
cuts, but were not seriously hurt

BRYAN'S SERVICE
TO THE COUNTRY

ANY student of contemporary
events or of party history who should
conclude that Mr.. Bryan has been an
unsuccessful leader and nothing
more would fall into a serious er-
ror. He has been misfortune to
the democratic party, but he has not
been misfortune to the country. He
has been the champion of the un-
thoughtful and the economically
muddled; but he has been the cham
pion also of the neglected and for
gotten classes and of the victims of
special privileges.
1t is his sympathy for the unsuc-
cessful man-whether failure be his
fault or his misfortune or the fault
of society or of government-that
has won him so strong and so strange
following; for it is a following that
long ago ceased to be political and be-
came personal. Millions of men re-
gard him with admiration and af-
lection; and their loyalty to him is
the same whether he favor free sill
yer or the government ownership of
railroads, or whatever he favors.
Men who believe in him believe
that he stands for the common man
the commonest kind of man-for
the forgotten, for the unprivileged /:
and that, somehow, he would help, if
he should become president, to make
their lot better. If he were caudi
date for a bishopric, they would be-
lieve the same thing. For he is a
! preacher, the most popular preacher
of our time. He is a voice for those
who speak ineffectively for them
selves. Thus he has caused the re.
publican party to do many things
that, but for fear of him or of worse
it would not have done; and some OF
them have been exceedingly good
things. He has had much to do with
keeping its arrogance of power with
in bounds.-World's Work.

HOW MONEY
IS DIVIDED

Figures Just made public by the
forest service show that, under the
new law requiring 25 per cent of
the gross proceeds of national for
est business to be paid over to the
states and territories in which the
forests are located, to be used for
public schools and roads, the last fis-
cal year will yield these states $447,-
| 063.79.
The amounts which go to each vary
! from $313.6S for Arkansas to more
than SIS, 900 for Montana.
The small amount for Arkansas is
because the two national forests in
that state were created so recently
that they have not yet got fairly un-
| der way.
Oklahoma, with one small national
forest, receives 1854; Kansas, s644;
and the next smallest after these is
Nebraska, with S2,350. Since the
forests in these last two states were
set aside from land naturally desti-
tute of trees, that the government
might try forest planting on them,
| it will probably surprise most peo-
pie that they should yield any reve-
nue. at all.
National forest business is chiefly
of three kinds: grazing, timber sales
and special uses; the latter compris-
ing the use of the lesser resources of
the forests and the permits involving
the development of water power. 1t
is interesting to note the states in
which the largest volume of each of
these three kinds of business is done
and study the causes which make
their revenues correspondingly larg-
er.
Montana, California and Colorado
1au sr ha. cyolA In hn nf
Montana and California this fact is
mainly due to the accessibility OF
the timber in the national forests.
The fact that the timber can be read
lily reached and quickly transported
to market has created a heavy de
mand which is reflected in the vol
ume of business. Colorado is al
most absolutely dependent upon the
national forest timber for its min
ing operations. Each of these states
will receive over $4,000 from the
proceeds of the forests.
Idaho. Utah and Oregon head the
list of the states in grazing business.
The causes in this case are several.
In the first place these states are sup
piled with more abundant forage,
largely on account of more plentiful
precipitation. In some cases the
ranges will support sheep to the
acre, whereas the ranges elsewhere
will often support no more than one
sheep to from 4 to 6 acres. Again,
the grazing methods are, as a rule,
more intensive in these states, a
| higher class of herders is employed, i,
and better grade cf stock is kept
Management, moreover, is more in
tensive. Sheep are handled in small
bands, and the herders in running
/ n n loon N r
tered order so that they do not do
so much damage to the range as does
the large band which can be con-
trolled only when closely herded.
Idah0s share of the receipts is over
$4,000.
California leads in special use
business, partly because of the large
amount of water power developed
and partly because of the larger pop
ulation adjacent to the forests and
drawing upon their resources. The
state Will receive as its share of the
national forest proceeds about S52,-
900.
