raba desconfianza.
No era por cierto una cosa de DO
ca lmportancia el empleo de facto
tim de Mad Laurens. Habia mucho
que hacer.
J La Batailieur era precisamente la
muJer mas aproposito para tsto: s,l
actlvidad era infatigabie, Y estaba
a un tempo al frente de sus propios
negocios y de los de Nenita, no de
jando que Sc atrasasen en- 10 mas
minimo.
Sarah la pagaba bien; Ia BataiIleu
llenaba cumpiidamente su deber V
daba sus cuentas con una exactitud
superior a todo elogio.
Esto no lie impedia conner 4 sus

dos los codos sobre la mesa.
Era una mujer que tenia tempo
para todo Y que de NADIA Sc asombra

-Bueno, bueno, mi querida Sc

grado caimaria: he hecho NAL en- en-
fadarme. sPero tambien, es acaso
possible que Sc quejen las gentes
cuando estan nadando en- riquezas?
| SQue es 10 que os falta?. .Jamas
podreis gastar todo 10 que teneis.
Nenita lanzo un prolongado sus
piro y su fisonomia Sc conmovio
trlstemente.

Keeps Working Indefinitely.

No better testimonial of the eff
ficiency of the Public Opinion Want
Column can be given than the COM
mendation of its patrons. We re-
ceived a letter the other day which
shows conclusively the value of this
cheap form of advertising, and the
certainty of producing results
through the big circulation of this
paper. Some time ago Mr.. WatrOs
inserted small adv. in the Want
Column and he had many more re-
plies than he could handle at that
time, and they have been coming
in long since the adv. was taken out.
The letter explains itself:
Cresco, Iowa, April 3, 1909.
Dear Mr.. Green:
Although my little 'Ad" in the
Want Column of Public Opinion has
long since been stopped it is still
doing business, for through it I
have just shipped Belted Boar to
VIM. Post G. Son, the horse men of
Bridge Hampton, l.. l. Andrew
Anderson did the business. This
deal certainly is good one for me
and | appreciate Public Opinion and
it's Want Column.
Yours respectfully.
D. G.. WATROS.

Mr.. Taft has been President
one month and in that time has had
probably, as few troubles as any
President for a like period, but the
time is approaching. and not far off
when the critical period of his ad-
ministration will have been reached
and which will decide whether he is
to be supported by united party
or whether the history of the Har-
rison administration is to repeat
itself.

A fight is on at Creston to uplift
the morals of youth. The county
attorney has given notice to all pool
halls. billiard rooms, bowling alleys,
ETC., that there is heavy fine for
allowing minors in their places of

enforced. Also the school author
tiles have given notice that all class
organizations must cease and all
class parties must be discontinued
under school patronage.

Every merchant in the country
needs to realize that the mail order
houses are putting up sitter fight

This advertising is so alluring, that

his home paper. or lose an enormous

The Payne Tariff bill passed the

The Payne Tariff bill passed the
house of representatives on Friday
by vote of PIT to 161, substan-
TALLY as reported by the ways and
means committee. The bill as adopt
ed by the house puts hides on the
free list, sawed lumber at 81 per
thousand, half of the Dingley bill
rate; tea, coffee and oil are free. The
advance In hosiery and gloves re-
mains, and the present rates in cot
ton, woolen and silk goods are un-
changed. The bill has gone to the
Senate, where it may see many
changes, and the result will be await
ed with much interest by the people.

1t is not likely that the maximum
rates of the Payne bill will be ap-
piled at any time to more than a
tenth of our importations, for un-
questionably foreign countries with
double scales of duty will stretch a
point to enter our market freely
when all that is necessary to obtain
that advantage will be to treat the
United States with the same liber-
ality that is extended to them.

Culver Loses His Case.

The supreme court of Iowa hand
ed down a decision in the case of c..
l.. Culver VS.. Fayette county on Sat-
urday which is of interest TO every
county and every taxpayer in the
state. Mr.. Culver, now resident
of Decorah was formerly sheriff of
Fayette county, and as such was re-
quired to hire deputy. There be-
ing no provision in the laws provid-
ing for payment of the deputy's sal
AIRY by the county sheriffs have been
compelled to pay their deputy's
salary out of their salary Mr. Gull
yer brought suit against Fayette
county for the amount, and after
trial Judge Hobson decided in his
favor, maintaining that the fact
that the law required the appoint
ment of a deputy carried with it
the provision for payment of sal
ary, although it did not specifically
say so. The case was then appealed
to the supreme court, and the out
come has been awaited with much
interest, for practically every sheriff
in the state would have sued for
his deputy's salary if Culver had
won, but the decision against him on
Saturday ends the matter, and re-
Quires the sheriff to pay his deputy's
salary out of the money he received
from the county.

and spices free, spirits and wines in

The tariff melee is getting down
more than ever to a grand game
of swap between districts. Are
there a dozen congressman in the
whole house who are willing to
look at the question from the
viewpoint of the good of the
country as whole? 1t is a sordid
story of log rolling and swaps be-
tween representatives.

In spite of the tariff war there
are many signs of returning pros
perity. The Treasury receipts in
March were SS,761, 900 larger than
the receipts for March 1908, and the
gross receipts of the New York
Postoffice in March were nearly
100000 larger than the gross re-
ceipts for March 1908.

With all our jollying about the
Easter hat and other profane as

that Easter brings more solace and

rectior of Jesus. judged by the
standards which scholars apply to
historical criticism, is one of the
best attested facts of ancient history.
