Portland knew himself to be the man
behind.
He walked bitterly on past the
house. not caring now what became
of his precious afternoon. 1t had
been going like this all summer. He
had always been too late: try as he
would, she was either not there to be
asked to go with him, or already
promised to some one else-usually
Macintosh. It would have been
funny had It not been 30 tragic-and
at twenty-three tragedy is-tragedy.
But now things had come to the
point where he had to do something.
He wondered II he was a conceited
donkey to feel down in his heart that
something in her answered to his
appeal? Though frank and free and
loughing-it was as II she held him
of: she seldom let q silence fall be-
tween them: once she had blushed
like any rose whom suddenly her
glance met his adoring gaze in a mo.
ment when he had been OF guard.
He was not man to wear his heart
on his sleeve.
Then. as he walked alone into the
autumn splendor Of the woods. he
began to wonder whether he had
made such a devoted fool Of himself
that he had no chance with her? His
sister had told him that no girl
wanted what she could trample under
foot. He had tried not to be servile,
obedient, worshipping-the hardest
task in the world! What should he
do? Was the fact that they had been
playmates from childhood against
him? Was she too used to him? He
felt that the old. sweet friendship had
been rather lessened and nothing
given him in its place.

THE HUSkING BALL.

 twenty-one, And he kept his coming of age at 2
 husking ball Whereof the reels. the fiddles. tho
 romp and fun Still echo in Olden hall There was many d whispered sigh
 lins fair. And many a braid and ringlet tossed
 on high
 As down the lanterned hall the
 squire's young heir Passed with an absent eve. For he sought in the bright array A kind little careworn face that
 had loved him long: And a sweet little. voice seemed call
 ing him ever away. That had sung to the orphan child
 his mothers own song: And he looked for lady in gray. A lady slender and small. With faint fleeting blush,
 relic of youth. And sweeter brown eyes than any
 young miss of them all. And he led his dear little maiden
 aunt. forsooth. To the head of the husking ball.

The Way to Stop Nasty Plays.

By refusing to renew the license of one of New York's leading theaters until the management shall guarantee that the production of indecent plays will be discontinued, Mayor Gaynor has earned the thanks of clean minded people everywhere. His is the first step that has been taken official ly in this country to limit the pro- duction of theatrical filth. The mayor in his order against a renewal of the license makes it dear that he does not propose to set up a censorship of plays. but has acted in response to numerous complaints. Much credit for plays is due the women-especially the women's clubs-but this protest would have continued ineffective if unsupported by such action as has been taken by Mayor Gaynor
 The theater which has fallen under the mayors ban is operated by Klaw & Erlanger, the theatrical trust" which until recently had a choking grip upon practically all the play houses in the country. This firm, un- der the pretense that in furnishing indecent plays they were merely sup plying what the people demanded, have studiously cultivated a- taste for vicious plays among young people, and have brazenly refused to heed any objections. Such managers can be their pocketbooks. Mayor Gaynor has led the way in showing how they can be reformed"

The Celestial Spectacle.

Few people now living ever wit
 messed such a gorgeous spectacle in
 the sky as Halleys comet now pre- sents. And in few other sections of
 the United States is it seen to such
 advantage as here in Arizona, where
 the clearness of the atmosphere brings
 the heavens close to the observer.
 The only inconvenience about seeing it now is that it is not visible until after midnight, but in a few days
 more it will be on exhibition in the evening, and should then be a tre- mendous spectacle on account of being so much closer to the earth. If the accounts of it's appearance in former centuries are reliable, the comet will appear at least as large as the full moon. and its tail will spread across more than half the sky. Professor university, estimates that it may be twice the size of the full moon. as it will be but one-eighth the distance from the earth it was on its last ap
 pearance Gin 1S35). It will be visible in the evening about May 20. and dur ing the week following that date it will be at its best.
 Such an extraordinary event, hap pening but once in IS years, is so in- teresting to all thoughtful people that it is worth while to turn away from
 everyday affairs for a moment and think of this strange lfsitor- from stellar space. It may be that this comet has passed closer te the earth at some former time than it wilt ap- proach on the 18th of this month. but astronomers are not sure about it. They are certain, however. that it will be but 14 million miles away on that day-which is very near the earth, as distances are measured in the|sky. So closely has its time table been cal not come into collision with the earth on this visit For d clear understand ing of the situation homely illus trstion will suffice. The earth. fol- lowing a fixed orbit; the comet. fol- lowing an orbit more or less variable. and each rushing through space with incomprehensible velocity. may be called two trains which are approach l ing each other on intersecting tracks. | The comet train will reach the cross- | ing first: and on May IS. when the | earth train reaches the crossing, the | head of the comet-the locomotive of the comet train-will be 14 million | miles away. But as a tail 2S million miles long streams away from the the earth will strike the tail. It is the fact of this collision between the earth and the comets tail that has furnished the only foundation for all the recent direful predictions of disaster. But all competent astrono- mical authorities are agreed that the comets tail is an exceedingly thin + gas. and that it can have no percep- tible effect upon our atmosphere. Many astronomers contend that it can

Judging from newspaper comme

Judging from newspaper comment some of the local democratic breth-
 ren are more or less disturbed by
 what the city administration may or
 may not do in the matter of filling appointive offices for the next year. The public generally is not disturbed, however. The republican party. and certainly the Christy administration, stands for cleanness and efficiency in the public service. Holding to this principle, past party services do not form the sole qualification for office;
 nor does it follow that any individual employe of the city has a life job simply because he has held office a long time. Times become ripe oc- casionally for changes in the public service, in all lines; and no office holder has a right to complain if. after long service. he finds himself succeeded by somebody else.

 "A comet of revenge A prophet to the fall of all our foes" l Spenser in his 'Faerie Queene' sings of .woman's hair loosely dis persed in the wind:

 Another of England's great poets, Milton, not only likened Satan to a comet, but seems to have surmised that the Flaming sword" in the gar den of Eden was comet: High in front

 And still another English poet Young writes:

And when one thinks of the immense race track around which the comet is hurled-a matter of more than three billion greatest orbit of our solar system, and, that-this race track is a 1 mere tiny circle in the limitless void: that our owR universe. sun, earth.

EGAN GETS HOLD
OF FAY KENSEL
Fast Little lnfieIder from ST. Joe Joins
Ottumwa Packers-He will

OTTUMWA, May 2.-Taylor Kensel,
the diminutive Oskaloosa infielder,
who finished last season with Ottum-
wa although he was the property OF
the Pueblo Western league club, has
been secured by Manager Egan, who
announces that he has secured the lit
tie infelder from the st. Joe club of
the Western league, and that he would
join the local team on Tuesday Kensel
has been member of the old Iowa
league and Central association since
the league was organized, being
brought to Oskaloosa by William Tiley.
Under the managership of Manager
Hamilton Patterson he developed into
ia star player. His work has always
been of the top notch variety and as
a sticker he Is one of the best infield-
ers In the circuit. Kensel has been
drafted many times but was always
bought back by the Oskaloosa club.
When the Quaker city was ousted from
he circuit Kensel went to Pueblo, be-
ing signed by Manager Patterson. Pat
terson was managing that club and
had built up strong team around
him before he went to the Pittsbure
club This disorganized the Pueblo

outfield position, He then jumped the
