M. o. Plan Has Failed.

Under this heading the EScanaba
(MichD Mirror gives the following item:
THE city Of Algoma, Wis. finds that
the municipal light and water plant is
running behind and is appealing to its
citizens to come to the aid of the instl-
tuition. For the year 1907 the city paid
for water and light the sum of $3,658,
while private persons and corporations
paid $4,7G3 approximately. The cost
of running the plant, labor, fuel, minor
repairs and incidentaIs, is about $40
per day, or $1,000 year. Thus it is
shown that there is but $1,121 to pay
the interest on the bonded Indebted
ness of 100000 at 5 per cent, which is
$500, which would leave a deficit of
$3S7.37, saying nothing about the mon
cy that was expended on the intake
pipe last year. This pipe has to be
taken up and relaid, and conservative
persons estimate the cost in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000. An appeal Is made
to citizens not to protest at the high
cost of water and light"
The actual loss is probably very much
higher, as the above estimate does not
include interest on $4,000 of the In
vestment not covered by bonds. Nor
does it include depreciation, lost taxes
and other items usually omitted from
such reports.

An Easy Mark.

In his heart of hearts the average
American believes in his country and
its institutions and has faith that it
will successfully work out its great po-
litical, Industrial and social problems In
ways that are in harmony with indi-
YiQual liberty and democratic form of
government. But that does not pre-
vent an occasional hankering after the
tieshpOts Of the Egypt of paternal gov,
ernment, whether it is frankly mo-
narchicaI or nominally republican. We
are prone to forget that such a govern
ment Is very close corporation and
one that is apt to be arbitrary in its
methods and, since 1t controls the
courts, less amenable to public senti-
ment than were the, private corpora
tions 1t supplanted. That fOrgetfulness

tack our institutions and industries by

about the way "oXen talk" got into the

His father was western pioneer and
crossed the plains with an OK train.
One Of the party was clergyman,
and, although he had the finest yoke,
he was always getting stuck. The
leader grew tired going to the rear ev-
cry few hours to get the clergyman's
oxen over the rough places, but under
his fluent cursing the oxen never failed
to move. Finally he said to the clergy
man:
"Parson, you've just got to learn
oxen talk. Cuss 'em, sir; cuss 'em
right and left. It's the only language
they understand"

A Pathetic Love story.

How many people are aware that the
marriage of the Empress Marie FeO-
dOrOvna of Russia, the cars mother,
who is at present in England visiting
her sister, Queen Alexandra, and who
hopes to make her home in England,
provided one of the most pathetic love
stories in the annals of royalty? asks
a writer. Before the empress, who was
Princess Dagmar of Denmark, mar
ried Alexander III. she was engaged
to his elder brother, the cZarOwitz. In
1865 at Nice the Grand Duke Nicholas
fell from his horse and was 30 badly
injured that his life was despaired Of.
His fiancee fastened to him and never
left his side till he breathed his last.
The succession to the throne devolVed
on the Grand Duke Alexander. He
stood by the deathbed of the cZarO-
witz, who in the presence of the en-
peror and empress placed the hand Of
the weeping princess into his. saying
to her with almost his last words,
Marry my brother; he Is true as crys
tai, and wish it." Enforced by pOliti-
cal reasons this bequest was law to
the bereaved girl.

Her Turn Would Come.

1t is the custom in all parts of
Scotland to send invitations when a
death occurs in a family to all the
neighbors to attend the funeral. A
rather grim story once arose out of
this. A neighbor had been omitted
by the bereaved family in the usual
invitations, a feud having arisen be-
tween them. On the day of the fu-
neral, while the people were assem-
bling, the sighted old woman stood
at her door watching the gathering.
At last, unable to bear up any longer
under her resentment, she ex-
claimed:

We might state that $4,000 of the

the plant was erected fifteen years ago,
no bonds have ever been paid. and In
addition to the bonded Indebtedness
about $1,000 more has been spent on
the layout. We are Informed the city
has in hand about $2.UuO to pay july
! on the $4,000 debt then due, and the
balance will have to he extended.
1t would be a good plan If the poor
city could go through bankruptcy and
give the plant away. 1t has proved Il

nicipal ownership. and the Jefferson
property owner knows it, for he Is

lieve it, watch the look upon his face

it is true that many of the earliest vari-

which determines the profits. other
characteristics of the variety are Of
secondary importance. OF course the
