None of these things really count,
What do count are kind words

the child tells it's faltering tales;
the wisdom which kills fear and
suparstiticns as they attempt to
grow up IN the child's minds like
weeds; the Imagination which
enters into a child's play and sees
with a cGild's eyes.
These are the things that max e

Operating In favor OF the early pas
sage of five of the administration bills
which are the railroad bill, the state

One Is the fact that a number of the
republican members of each house

Is that the leaders feel they must do

Twelve men decided tonight that he

her while yet alive in his fireplace

body Writhed and burned. with the
same wax-faced indifference that he
had shown throughout the trial. VOL
