will do the rest. 1t will be over in
two or three days and l shall be at
home again. AS always, Harry"
The first time she read the letter
with Joy and pride. The second time,
there was little, restless, unsatisfied
feeling. The feeling grew stronger
and stronger as she thought of the let
ter and of the events that had led up
to present conditions.
Harry Drusill had been a poor boy.
He had worked his way through
school and through law office. After
his admission to the bar he had sue
ceeded rapidly. He had worked in
county politics until he had acquired
enough influence to justify his asking
for the nomination for state senator
Of his district.
But at the same time that a candi-
date for the senate was to be selected,
two candidates for the house Of repre-
sentatives were also to be named and
in the same county, Robert Reade, de-
sired to go to the house The political
leaders of the district would not allow
one county to have two nominees and
either Drusill or Reade would have to
give way at the convention.
For several years Drusill and Amy
Metcalf had been engaged. Until his
nomination seemed certain Amy had
never realized all that it might mean
to them both. She had vaguely thought
1t would hasten their marriage, for if
nominated he was sure to be elected.
And yet his letter was not the letter
Of man who regarded his success
as a means to that end.
The general assembly would con-
vene in the winter and he would go
to the capital. He would live among
the great men of the state and be in
daily association with them. And he
would meet their families and go to
their homes. He would know their
daughters, beautiful and brilliant
young women who wore city made
clothes and all their lives had lived
among the people one reads Of
He would see all the dullness and
the provincialism of the little town of
his home.
And she who had known no broader
life, who made her own clothes and
sometimes clerked in a store during
busy seasons? What chance had she
to hold him? His ambition was great
and she had heard that many a young
politician succeeds through an advan-
tageous marriage.
But If he were not nominated? Then
he would come back to stay in the lit.
tie town and to build the little cottage
they had planned. He would never
know the other life and the other girls.
Her mothers shrill voice called her
and she went to help prepare supper.
She wondered If any of the society
queens of her fancy ever peeled pota-
toes or fried sausages. At supper she
thought of Harry, seated, as of course
he often would be, at the governors
dinner table, surrounded by general
confusion Of footmen, lights, beautiful
women and cut glass. How would this

ing report on harbor bond issue

working to clear the legal tangle that
surrounds the proposed bond issue.
and the course of action definitely out
lined a bond election is to be called.
I'VE have held several conferences.
said McElroy, ito prepare the report,
which will be essential to any action
on harbor development. There are
| legal phases which we are now clear

into conference because of his knowl-
edge of the harbor situation.
1T probably will be about two weeks

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK

Work has been mans lot since the
creation, but day of toll should not
have it's penalty of pain. Why is 1t,
then, you ask, that backache so often
follows? 1t is because the modern
tendency is to overwork. to tear
down faster than nature can rebuild.
An unnatural strain is thrown upon
the vital organs, and more especially
upon the kidneys, which have the
work of filtering the blood free of
waste and poison.
The heavy tax of overwork-the
strain upon the back that is so COM
mon to many trades and occupations,
Is too great. The kidneys begin to
fail in their work. and there is a
double danger to health. The poison
Gus matter collects in the system, and
the kidneys themselves begin to break
down.
Pain in the back is only a warning
of trouble in the kidneys. An In

Too much or too little urine, with
a constant desire to void the secre-
tions; any noticeable deviation from

TWO PROFESSORS
QUIT COMMITTEE

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May %
The few undergraduates who are left
on the campus were startled today by
the report that two members of the
student affairs committee. Professors
Cathcart and Swain. had handed In
their designations to President Jordan.
Official statement in regard TO the
matter cannot be obtained from either
the authorities or the two members.
but as June l is the date upon which
the personnel of the committees for
the next academic year will be an
nounced. it is thought that Professors
Cathcart and Swain are taking this
means to intimate that they do not
desire reappointment.
The student affairs committee is the
disciplinary body of the university, and
the present members, acting in that
capacity last semester, drew from the
undergraduates bitter protest be-
cause of the severe penalties inflicted
on the men who took part in the noe
turnal parade of March IL.
II was understood at the time of the
wholesale suspensions that the action
of the committee was not unanimous
and the resignation of Professors Cath
cart and Swain would seem to indicate
that they were the dissenting members
