A Morning Thought

Let me today do something that
shall take
A little sadness from the worlds
vast store.
And may | be so favored as TO make
OF joys too scanty sum a little more.
Let me not hurt by any selfish deed
Or thoughtless word, the heart of
foe or friend:
Nor would ! pass %unseeing, worthy
need.
Or sin by silence when | should de-
fend.
Let me tonight look back across the
span
Twix't dawn and dark, and to my
conscience say
Because Of some good act to beast
or man
''The world is better that l lived
today"

ELECTRIC ROAD FROM
SIOUX CITY TO MILLER
Promoter McGee, of Pittsburg,
Working on Line
He will Speak i'm Miller Tuesday.
March 9Th at Opera House
At 2 p. m.

The Commercial Club has received
a request for a meeting with G.. A.
Niece, of Pittsburg, an electric line
promoter, who has undertaken a
line from Sioux City to Miller. via
Washington Springs. Some prepar-
atory organization has been per-
fected along the line, and it looks
like a very earnest effort. Messing
ton Springs held a very large meet
ing of townspeople and farmers
recently and heard Mr. MCGEE eX-
plain his plans. They appointed
pecessary committees, and are
Investigating the matter. The
paper of that town say People
from all over the county were IN
attendance. Mr. MCGEE explained
in full and concise manner the plan
Of the proposed line between Sioux
City and Miller. via washington
Springs"
The plan is to sell one half of the
stock Of the company to farmers
and business men along the line and
retain the other half in the poser
sion of the company. The manage
ment will be in the hands of a board
of six directors, three of whom will
be elected from the company, and
three from the stockholders along
the road. The intention is to put
on a two hour schedule between all
points on the line, and give pasSen-
ger rates at a cent and a half a mile.
The rates on freight would be cut
one-third from present prices, and
the freight carried in standard gage
cars so they could be run from the
interurban to the regular railroads
without loss Of time. The road
would be Of inestimable value TO all
farmers within a radius of ten miles,
as well as to the towns along the
line.
Mr. MCGEE will be at the Miller
opera house Tuesday, March 9Th at
2 a. m. to address the people IN this
proposition and everybody is cor
daily invited to attend.
COUNTRY MEETINGS.

same purpose at the Engelman school

Does 2 and 2 Make 4?

Fort Pierre Fairplay. A friend
asks us to multiply S. by S.. We 90
so AMI announce the result as S25.
Now multiply 500 cents by 500 cents
give the answer in cents, pure and
simple, not as fractional parts of a
dollar. W. do and are surprised to
see the figures climb up to $50, 600
cents. which is $500. As S. and
500 cents are equivalent the result
is puzzling. It cannot be urged
that decimal figures should be used.
A cent, as such, is as distinct a unit
as a dollar, and as the result is to be
announced in cents the decimal can
not be pleaded in-estcasst~~f-hr
rather surprising result. But there
is clearly something wrong. Can
any reader explain it?
