Made It Clear,

A senator, speaking Of the advan-
tages of clearness of statement, told
story about a restaurant to illustrate
his meaning. He said:
"This restaurant advertised a dinner.
but not in the loose way many other
restaurants advertise dinner as be-
tween certain hours, whether there
would be enough dinner to last be-
tween those hours or not. No. The
man who runs that restaurant has a
proper knowledge of his responsible
ties and of the exact use of the Ian

Life.

We are born; we laugh; we weep;
We love; we droop; we die.
All, wherefore do we laugh or weep?
Why do we live or die?
Who knows that secret deep?
Alas, not l!
Why doth the violet spring
Unseen by human eye?
Why do the radiant seasons bring
Sweet thoughts that quickly fly?
Why do our fond hearts cling
To things that die?
We toll through pain and wrong;
We fight and fly;
We love; we lose, and then ere long
Stone dead we lie.
o life, is all thy song
Endure and die?"

A PioUs Wish.

The parish church in a we'll known
Scotch village being in sad need of re-
pair and the money required for such
not being in hand, a meeting of the
parishioners was held to see if the
necessary funds could be raised by
subscription.
The local laird, noted for his wealth
and also for his meanness. was asked
to Oficiate as chairman. Addressing
the villagers, he reminded them Of the
object of their gathering together and
by way of example subscribed guinea
toward the cost of repair. When
on the point of sitting down a lump
of plaster falling from the ceiling
struck him clout on the head. Look
ing upward, he exclaimed:
Eyes. friends. | see the church does
need repairing badly. I'll raise my
subscription to 2 guineas.''
Upon hearing this an old lady in the
audience exclaimed:
20 Lord give him anither clout!'

The Little Thinqs That Tell.


A south side mother was dressing
for tea the other afternoon when the
front door bell rang. She instructed
the maid that if the visitor appeared
to be about to make formal call to
say she was not at home. But the
mother had not counted on the five
year-old daughter playing in the front
yard.
The maid. seeing a woman dressed
as if for calling. obeyed instructions.
"She is not at home" the maid said.
"Why. she is. too, Minnie came a
sharp interruption from the child on
the lawn. Il saw her lower the cur
tain just now"
perhaps she just came in," the
maid responded weakly. "Pll see."
The situation was saved by the fact
that the visitor was the mothers Sis

The County Roads

The heavy rains have done great
damage to the roads, and in Jefferson
county the Board of Revenue has be-
fore it now no duty so important as
that of pushing the repair work. Be-
fore this wet season set in many of
the highways leading from Birmingham
were in excellent condition. and with
our ordinary summer weather road
conditions would have improved stead
lily. But the excessive rains have made
even the best of the roads heavy with
mud and inferior roads soft and miry.
Experience such as the past few
weeks have brought us shows plainly
that in the work of road building il
is economy to build only the best. The
original cost may seem high, but no
matter what it may be, hard macadam
road beds and scientific drainage pay
well in the end In the future every
highway should be so built as not to
wash or soften even when rain falls
in torrents.

Income and Expenditures In Fiscal Year

When the rules of the House were
changed Speaker Cannon rose up to de-
clare that the House would at once be-
come mob and that public business
would become hopelessly blocked. And
yet when the long session was adjourned
he declared that Congress had done more
and better work than any Congress of
which he had been a member during his
35 years of service in the House.
He, in fact overpraised the session.
for while 1t passed several excellent bills
it did not cut down appropriations. The
grand total for the coming fiscal year
exceeds a billion dollars. Including con-
tinuing appropriations the total is $1,074,-
100000.
The fiscal year came to an end on
Thursday night. and on Friday an actual
deficit of s25,ss4,o0o was reported. This
deficit for the fiscal year came although
the payments on account of the corpor-
alton tax had reached the sum of ST.
362, 900 before the fiscal year was ended.
About 100000 more will be paid at
once on this account, and this will serve
to give the new fiscal year an excellent
start.
A deficit in the present fiscal year may
be avoided, but if it is it will not be
due to lessened expenditures The Gus
toms receipts and the internal revenue
may be increased enough to carry re-
ceipts up to expenditures. If Congress
had cut appropriations in accordance witt
the desire of the administration a hand.
some surplus would be reported on July
of next year. AS matters stand there
will be at that time either a lean surplus
or none at all.

the Pacific coast sports began to drop
down the mountain grade from San Fran

Before the county license bureau closed

Comstock kings will, in the language OF
one of Reno's proudest citizens, have
nothing on this present agreeable oc-

smiles; even the Chinese are allowed to

The Kansas City Star suggests that the
scrap will be a peacnerino. Quite likely:
but we presume to guess that the pleas

equal the joys of the preparation for 1t.
Reno Is perfectly happy. Why should any
sore-headed, law-abiding citizen ask. rs
she proud? Is the governor of Nevada
proud?'
