The Eeslina of LonIiness.

If you have lived long you nave
known what it is to be lonely. 1t may
have been experienced in the silence
of country place at evening. 1t may
have seized your heart when the
strange faces in a surging city street
swept by. The feeling may have come
strongest when some family tie was
being torn assunder or when you saw
the form of loved one lowered to the
grave.
Loneliness sometimes brings such
terrifying thoughts that the glow OF
ter of friends or the senseless froth OF
amusement comes as blessing. Lone
illness makes people think and think
ing makes some people unhappy.
Perhaps no man with real active
brain but when left for any length of
time in a great lone place has asked
himself the question WHO am IL" OF
all questions, this is the most difficult
to answer. We live in certain houses
and on certain streets, we pursue GER
tain avocations, but we do not know
who we are. Our acquaintances know,
for unconsciously we are each present.
Ing to them some sort of a character.
Have YOU ever been by some roadside
pond out in the country, and away
from home, when 1t was getting dark
and the frogs were croaking, and per
haps there was chill in the air?
Have You ever had people brush past
you on a city street as If trying to
force the realization of your insignifl-
canoe upon you? An, then you have
| been lonesome.
And loneliness makes US shudder and
think 1t makes us realize that the
world is big, and that our petty trials
do not amount to much after all.
Sometimes 1 wonder if there is
really any bad in the world. Isn't what
is called bad simply the abuse of what
is good? Go down the whole list and
see if such is not the case.
If people We're moderate in all things
there would not be half so much need
to harp on total abstinence. But there
is nothing so good that it can not BIZ

The Madrid Register News says 'In

man lacking backbone, possessing the
disposition to move along the lines of

win the fight for the gallant band of
insurgents in the United States senate
yet should he choose. The entire mid

the action of Senator Dolliver in con-
gress, the Mt. Vernon Record admits
that 1T is a fact that it leaves Dave

Marion Days racing at the county
fair was married only by the weather
conditions, which, while not particu-

just cold enough to make it mighty
uncomfortable in the stands without
an overcoat. The crowd was small,
the racing good.
There was two professional events
on the card and one Gentlemens race
in which county horses driven by
their owners participated. And almost
every heat of the afternoon was a
'hossrace." The field was large in
every event and several of the finishes
were made after the hardest kind of
drives down the stretch.
The most notable heat of the after
noon was the first in the $3.50 pace,
the second race on the card, i'm which
Fred Il. won the heat, turning the
mile in 2:1S 1-2 nosing out Lowonda

an argument which was carried into
police court, Wednesday evening
Open war was declared when Andrew

Mrs. Cooper was summoned before
Mayor Scherff late Wednesday after
noon She pleaded not guilty to the
charges and the court set the time of
trial for Monday at 8 O'Clock. The
origin of the quarref between Mrs.
Cooper and Mrs Underwood dates
back several weeks. Mrs. Underwood
says that her neighbor persists In
taking water from we'll which Is
located on her property. Mrs. Coop
er claims that the well is located on
the dividing line of the two lots and
declares that she is as much entitled
to the use of the well as Is Mrs. Un-
