Love and Hate.

Thirst belongs to humanity, every
where, in all ages; but that white
pine pail and that brown mug belong
to me In particular; and just so Of
my special relationships with other
things and with my race. One could
never remember himself in eternity
by the mere fact Of having loved or
hated any more than by that of hav-
ing thirsted; love and hate have no
more individually in them than single
waves in the ocean; but the accidents
or trivial marks which distinguish
those whom we loved or hated make
their memory our own forever and
also.-Holmes.

WHAT THEY

Having occasion to see Gunter after
office hours on matter of business,
went to his room. 1t was O'clock
time when young people are supposed
to be enjoying themselves in their
evening amusements and married peo-
pie are sitting around the heartlstone
or the big lamp on the center table

chatter of the children going to bed.
But Gunter-never before in my life
have lighted upon more desolate
situation for man in good health.

in his closet. He was sitting in an
easy chair. looking at the wall: When
l entered something of change came
over his face. He seemed pleased that
any one should break the stiffness.

I'm tired Of it,
l stayed with Gunter all the even
ing. The upshot of our talk other than
business was this: agreed to pilot
him into something better than room
with no one but himself in it. My
cousin. Margaret Tucker, twenty-eiGllt
years old -Guntcr was forty-was just
as needful of something better than II
single room as was Guntcr. told
Guntcr that he couldn't afford any

life in loneliness. Ii he married he

Suppose they didn't get on together.
How would feel at having tied them
up in knot they couldn't 'unloose
without lot Of trouble? One day l
saw Gunter coming toward me on the
street. He looked glum. There was
no side street between me and him
for me to turn down, SO was obliged
to face him. nerved myself for the
meeting and, assuming lot Of hearth
ness, ran up to him and. grabbing
him by the hand, shook it warmly
and said:
"How are you, old man? Happy as
q clam, eh?"
There was no fervor In his afirma
tive response.

Policing the Air.

American, and his balloon by Russian
troovs after he had landed on Russian
territory in the international race for

dicative of the jealousy with which
European powers guard their from

spies to pass them," writes r. B.
Kidd, in Harper's Weekly. Although
there is no specific provision in the
American statutes that would seem to
cover this question so far as
an aircraft, lowering now about our

thorities could and undoubtedly would

increase 1t by Is to 20 members. They
are sure of gaining at least 20 seats
in the next mouse. and while of course
some seats may be lost, yet 1t is be-
lieved that there will be net gain
sufficient to increase the Republican
membership of the house. This conf
dence of the Republicans is based
upon the fact that the arguments that
they can present to the people will be
Of such nature as to not only hold
the present Republican vote but to
gain many Democratic votes. While
the arguments which the Democrats
will have to present to the people. II
indeed they have any they dare to
present, must be wholly negative ones
and Of nature to repulse rather than
to attract. The Republicans. for in.
stance, feel confident that the people
will be glad to sustain the president
and the administration and give him
Republican house Of representatives
fo- the second part of his term to
carry out the pledges of the party
and the promises Of the president
himself. A Democratic house would
not only check all progress, but It
would be menace to business inter-
ests. and would undoubtedly create
feeling of anxiety in all avenues of
finance and commerce. multiplying to
large extent the splendid impetus we
have gained already under the present
administration and stopping to a con-
siderable extent the prosperity and
progress which we are now as ma
ton and as people enjoying.
In short, the Democrats are whistling
to keep their courage up and making
vain boasts which are unfounded and
are wishing above all things that they
had one or two strong leaders and one
or two great policies with which they
could go before the people. They have
believed that by encouraging small
faction of the Republican party they
could succeed in certain states In split
ting that party in two, but they have
found that it would not work, and have
also found that the Republican party
is going to be able to settle its own
differences and to agree upon great
national policies, leaving the smaller
matters to regulate themselves at the
proper time.

chance Of winning than they have had
for the past dozen years, and though
there are certain conditions which give
them spasmodic hopes. yet when the
is really on and the cleo
tons approach. they will find the Re-
publican party as usual united and
solid front. This is no
idle boast. because already some Of
tho adverse conditions are being dissi-
pated. For instance, the Democratic
that high prices are due to
the tariff has been pretty we'll nulli-
fed. and all intelligent voters who
have studied the reductions Of the
present tariff law and who have found
out that the increase in price has oc.

articles upon which the duty was SUB

this high price to the tariff. Then It
must be remembered that the farmers.
who constitute nearly one-half Of the
voting population Of the country, from
q personal standpoint do not care what
has made high prices so long as they
last. They are reaping the benefit
and are getting more for their prod.
ducts than ever before In our history.
and II this Is due to the tariff then
they will be very willing to keep in
power the party that made the tariff,
consequently the Democrats cannot
take any more comfort out of the high
price situation.
Then. as regards the question of
fulfilling the party pledges-now that

Democrats Also in Straits.
The Democrats have taken consider
able hope from the fact that in certain
states the Republicans seem to be di

Republicans seem to be divided the
Democrats are in still worse posi-

find way to compromise these condi

hopelessly divided. The fact Of the

amusement by following the output Of
Washington newspaper correspondents
these days. as they try to give to their
readers the opinions Of Democratic
leaders. One day we learn that the
Democrats have already elected a ma
jority ranging from one to one hun

tives. They cannot see that any Re-

The next day we learn that the Dem.

next house of representatives, and
would not take it If it were handed to
them on silver salver. This is be-
cause they are so split up in policies
they could not agree upon any kind of
legislation, and even If they did get a

than the Republican senate. and they
could accomplish nothing at all, conse-

what 1t has been for years, purely a
party of obstruction and destruction
without single pregnant principle OF
a single policy which would be of ben

Yet Another Viewpoint.
Then on the other hand we are told
by these same correspondents that the
Democrats have found out that the Re
publicans are not anxious to have the
next house Of representatives.. but
prefer Democratic majority in order
that the Democrats can be held up t.

With every train coming into Chi

up the transportation lines worse than
any previous storm of the winter.

schedules were ignored. Not for sew.
eral days can the steam roads expect
to run trains on schedule time and
whether they do so or not depends
upon the weather.
40 Per Cent. Increase.
Fuel dealers assert that they are
experiencing great difficulty in filling
orders. A forty-per cent. increase in
total consumption, inability of the
railroads to make prompt deliveries
and the necessity for undertaking
teams due to the slippery condition
OF streets are assigned as causes.
Only an abatement of present

responsible for the books adoption.
Some time ago he introduced to the
State Boards notice a book called

schools.
Board Was Impressed.
The board was greatly impressed
with the book and realized that its
adoption in the public schools would
greatly benefit the rising generation.
However, it was thought that Aliens
'Civics and Health" was a more prac-
tical book and dealt with the subject in
a more comprehensive manner. The
new text book will be put in use next
winter. 1t deals with the general
health and care of the body: how to
avoid contagious diseases and points
out in . perfectly clear and logical
manner the needs and methods Of san
itation. The book will be studied
first by the teachers and later intro
duced as a study for the pupils in the
lower grades.
