in the proceedings, because the
lengthy discussions lasted until sham
battle time and the new members
were compelled to leave the meeting
before the elections began.
Another debate was precipitated
when MIR, Smith called for a standing

When the antis put up Prof. F, ID.

NEW OFFICES CREATEI

This is the day on which large
number Of the new laws passed by the
last Legislature become effective and
state and munici<dl officers were busy
ntitSing the bn4,nes men and other
persons upon whom they keep vgii-
liant eye to carefully consider the sta
tutes before doing anything rash.
The autcmoblist must not operate
his ma chine with tag bearing an
earlier date than June IS; the irate
telephone user must restrain his pas
sions and use only polite language,
as an enti- Guessing law has gone into
effect. manufacturers ~ Agricultural
lime must not ship their product into
the State without first having paid the
State $40 and registered their brands
with Commissioner of Agriculture
koiner; min owners, proprietors of
department stores and all shop keep
ers who employ women, must provide
seats for their employees, employment
agencies must find Jobs for clients
whose money they take. all factories
mills, stores and shops where numbers
of employees work must be kept in a
sanitary and hygenic condition; per
sons who give checks at stores where
they purchased goods must he sure
they have money in tho bank on which
the draft is drawn; men and womer
to whom G, q. ID, packages are sent
must pay for the goods within twenty
four hours or else run chances Of being
sent up for larceny.
New State Officers.
In addition to these laws, the bills
creating the Office of mineral assessor,
State accountant State bank exami-
ner and allowing the governor to en-
pioy special counsel for the State be-
come operative. ninety days having
elapsed since the adjournment of the
General Assembly.
While all the new bills are of great
Importance. and much trouble Will
result II they are not obeyed. the
ones regarding the giving of bad
checks and failure to pay for c. ..
d. packages, probably every man and
woman in tha State.
The two laws were passed after
energetic efforts had been made by
the Retail Merchants Association 10
stop the practices OF stealing goods
by this method. Their efforts, failed
and they felt compelled to appeal to
the Legislature.
The bad check law makes II lar
ceny for q man to knowingly give n
draft for goods he has received. The
amount of the larceny will be the
amount the goods are worth.

Modern Business Ethics.

A Chicago minister recently told
the students of the University OF
Chicago that the code of modern
business was pagan and not Chris
tian, with brutality and seltishness
as its chief attributes.
Modern business has much IN it
that is bad, but it IS far from being
ethically pagan and it is not, as I'M
piled by this assertion, as bad as the
business codes that preceded. 1t is
a far cry from the day of apprentice
ship slavery and imprisonment for
debt TO that of short hours, sanitary
labor and liberal pay and laws ex-
empting debtors from unfair exac-
tions by creditors Our loquacious
old friend, Micawber, would, no
doubt, revel in the patience and priv
ileges of this day and conclude that
this era, without its debt-prisons and
Uriah Heeps, was indeed a utopian
age. But the serious fact is that
with all our strenuous competition,
quick amassing of prodiglous wealth,
our business code is more humane,
more mindful of the other man and
his rights and, indeed more moral
than that of any people in history.
All about us we see these men of
colossal fortunes giving with lavish
hand to charitable or other worthy
causes and even in the severity Of
their business dealings they are not
driving as cruel bargains as they
used to.-Omaha Bee.

A Friendship Cushion,

From a distance it had the effect
of a wheel with spokes radiating out
wards, or if one had poetical turn
of mind, it could have suggested King
Sol himself with all his glory rays;
but on closer examination it resolved
itself into friendship cushion.
My friend explained apologetically
that it was merely an elaboration of
the old teacloth idea, but the effect
was so good | mentally resolved to
copy it as soon as possible.
The cushion cover was made OF a
rather coarse linen Of a soft green
shade, while the embroidery was
worked in a darker green lustrine,
though naturally it could be copied
In any range Of colors selected by its
maker.
The centre was composed of big
circle worked In satin and cross
stitch, though, of course, the actual
stitches would be merely a matter Of
individual taste.
LII IulS ClIClS, lAlSII lDSu III bOiu W.
tiers, were the words, lie Temps
passe, L'amatie reste," or some other
appropriate motto might be used.
From the centre radiated faint pencil
lines (easily washed out after they had
served their purpose, and the en-
broidery was flnished), and on these
lines my friend had asked her friends
to sign their names.
The signatures were many and
varied, but when embroidered in stem
or outline stitch the effect was re-
markably good and had far better
result than the inartistic and promis-
cuous scattering about Of names on
the now commonplace teGcloths, says
Home Notes.
A row of feather stitching in an
other shade of green finished off the
frills' junction to the cushion, while
more names formed the border of the
we'll stuffed cushion. The frills them
selves had charming little star shaped
stitches to form finish, worked
along the hem, and the whole effect
was SO satisfactory thought others
might care to make themselves a
friendship cushion for their own par
ticular den.

Good Nature Rewarded.

The car was crowded as cars are
sometimes, so the fat man stood in
the vestibule. At his back was an
open window, and the trolley rope
hung idly in a graceful loop on the
outside Of the can and Just below his
neck. For several blocks everything
was lovely. Then the car hit a low
place without corresponding low
place in the trolley wire. The rope
tightened to make up for the dis
crepancy and caught the fat mans
hat brim with sufficient force to hurl
1t out the window.
Did the fat man frown and blame
the conductor? No. He looked at
his fellow passengers, his face
wreathed in smiles, and said
"Well! III be jiggered if that
isn't the slickest thing I ever ex-
perienced in all my days"
He pulled the bell rope once, and
when the car had slowed down at
the next corner he pulled it again
twice and jumped off before the car
had come to a full stop. The con-
ductor, however, had seen it all.
Evidently he was unwilling that his
good natured passenger should wait
for another car and sacrifice a
nickel so he pulled the rope once
and the car waited.-Kapsas City

Wakelyn's lips twitched as he
turned the sheet to read it all over
again, and JOY filed his heart SO
great as to well-night uverwhelm
him. The part concerning Uncle Ed
gar did not greatly uplift him. It
was the knowledge that he had his
Wife's sympathy and trust that filed
and covered his whole horizon; moth
ing else mattered.
There occurred In his memory. as
he sat there in the silence, passage
he had read from Isaiah before he
slept the night after the momentous
letters had been written.
And an highway shall be there,
and a way, and it shall be called, The
way of holiness; the unclean shall
not pass over 1t; but it shall be for
the redeemed; the wayfaring men,

'"There isn't anything so very bad

"There isn't anything so very bad;
it won't affect the foundations of the
house, nor its lasting qualities. idiot,
You must know that"
"There'll be trouble in about five
years time" was the reply. But
that isn't the point-my point at
least. Lord Trammere is paying for
something he's not getting, and be-
cause | know that I want to quit the
job"
You're fool to yourself, Wake
lyn, if you do any such thing" said
Pile sourly. "Where'll you get an
other job? A word from us will go
long way, and we can't afford, as
business is in these days, to be so
mealy-mouthed; nobody knows that
better than you"
"I can't help that" replied Wake
lyn quietly. MY minds made up"
T Then Mr. Courtenay Piles admir-
able composure gave way, and he
cursed his subordinate in no meas
ured terms. But it made very little
impression, and two hours later Pile
had to return to town to report the
ill success of his interview, and to
look out for successor to Wakelyn!
The man who had faced a difficult
situation for consciences sake went
about the rest of his days work ap-
parently undisturbed He had counted
the cost. That it was likely to be
heavy he had never hidden from him
self.
Lucrative situations were not going
begging, and he was now a middle
aged man; further, he had many
heavy private obligations--a wife and
family, including an invalid son. 1t
was for the boys sake he had done
this. If Ted Wakelyn had ever been
tempted to rebel against the destiny
that kept him tied to sick bed while
others carried on the work of life,
be might have been cheered had he
known how mighty was the influence
he welded on all with whom he came
in contact.
When Wakelyn got back to his
simple, bare quarters at the village
inn that night, two letters waited
for him, both from his home.
He opened the boys letter first,
and when he read it tender smile
lowered about his lips, and something
very like tears veiled his eyes. 1t had
nothing to do with the case that had
been decided that day. it was merely,
as Wakelyn expressed 1t later, love-
letter from the hoy, who missed his
father and his chum more than he
had words to tell. 1t warmed Wake
lyn's heart; but while he fingered the
other one, he was conscious of re-
luctance so great that he feared to
break the seal, 1t was Lucy's an
swer, his wifes deliverance upon the
contents Of the letter he had sent to
her early in the week. He had not
asked any advice in that letter, only
told her what was in his mind, and
what he intended TO do. How would
she take it? He felt little afraid
