NO FAITH IN PoSTPoNEMENTs
Distress of a Mother Whose Child
Contracted Whoopins Cough on
the Eve of a Journey.

Just when Mrs. Ackroyd had fin
shed packing her trunks and after
William Ackroyd had bought railway
tickets for her and their two daugh.
tiers, little Bessie came down with
a severe case of whooping cough. The
doctor positively refused to let the
child start on a long journey, and even
IL he had thought it safe for the lit
tie n to leave home he assured Mrs.
Ackroyd that she would not be per-
mitted to take the patient into a no.
tel anywhere.
Isn't it a shame" the distressed
lady walled. Here we are with every
thing in our trunks, and my husband
has even bouent our berths in the
sleeper"
1T is unfortunate, but | don't know
WI, t you can do except sit down and
wait ~ four or five days. 1t may
be safe then for you to start away"
When her husband got home that
evening Mrs. Ackroyd was weep
ing.
Don't take it so hard, DEAR" he
said. 1T might be a good deal worse.
Our little n is likely to get along
III right. The doctor says the case
:sr't an unusually severe one, and
when telephoned him this afternoon
he said he thought it might be safe
for you to start away by the end of
the week"
Il know. He told me the same
thing. But l feel that We'll never go.
| eve postponed anything yet that
didn't turn out sadly. l once postponed
a wedding, and the marriage never
took place"
Half an hour later William Ackroyd
was still sitting in a corner alone,
thinking it over.-Chicago Record

Tuesday. | of course do not ques-
ton the sincerity OF the men and
women who sought to enforce their
views by the adoption of Amend
ment No. 10. They believed-the
rank and 6le-in the righteousness
of their cause, and their efforts
sprang from no selfish motive.
Yet | doubt if more bitterness
we're ever engendered by any pub
lie question. True temperance
that temperance in all things which
works silently, p%ersistently and
nationally for the betterment of
mankind is retarded, not advanced
by a process which seeks to take
from men their individuality and
responsibility. The hands of
Adam and Eve we're not palsied
to keep them from plucking the
forbidden fruit.

The victory gained by the Peo-
ple's United States Bank in the
Supreme Court of the United
States Monday afternoon, when
one of its suits for damages was
remanded from the Federal to the
State Court for trial, probably
will have a ar-reaching effect on
other suits of similar character
filed by the Lewis Publishing
Company and it's affiliated enter
prises. 1t, therefore, is a signal
triumph for the company, in that
it will go far toward establishing a
precedent on which the group of
cases can be sent to the proper
courts. The case on which the
question of jurisdiction was es-
tablished Monday in Washington
is a damage suit against Russell
+. Goodwin, an Assistant United
States Attorney General for the
Post Office Department, and
Robert M. Fulton, a former Post
Office Inspector, who caused a
fraud order against the Peoples
Bank to be published in a Postal
Department bulletin. The case
was filed in the State Court, but
was taken to the Federal Court by
the defendants on a writ of GER.
tiorari. 1t was remanded to the
State Court on a decision by Fed
eral Judge Jacob Trieber, of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, and from this de-
cision the defendants appealed.
The dismissal of the appeal by the
Supreme Court now sends the case
back to the State Court for trial.
This case is only one of a group of
cases filed by the Lewis interests
in the courts of st. Louis county,
all of which have been carried to
the Federal Courts by the defend
ants on writs of certiorari. Among
them are damage suits against
Fulton and others, growing out of
the charge that the Lewis Compa-
ny's publications we're held up by
the authorities and denied certain
mailing privileges. A suit for
S25O,OO0 damages against the st.
Louis Post Dispatch for alleged
libel in publishing the fraud order
and other matter considered unfair
to the Lewis interests, also is in
cluded in the group. A motion to
remand this group of cases back
to the State Court was made by
counsel for the plaintiff in 1907,
and has lain untouched until this
time. Action on the motion is ex-
pected within a few weeks at the
longest. If the action in the Su-
preme Court Monday afternoon
may be taken as a basis for Judge
ment, it is reasonable to assume
that all the cases will go back to
the court of st. Louis county and
be tried there. as the publishing
company always has commended
the proper COURSES. Louis Star.

THE insincerity of self seeking
men is nowhere else shown SO
strongly as in the difference be-
tween their ante election assever-
atoms and their votes. Here in
Iron county "wet' and "dry'
were shuttlecocks shifted from
hand hand to suit locality and
advantage. In more than one in
stance the boosters Of the various
candidates were for one man be-
cause he was ''dry" and for an
other man regardless of his wet
ness. How small a figure con-
science and conviction cut in the
political "moral" electioneerer!

The Quarrel

BY Anne Mitten, Aged II Years, Teka-
nah, Neb. Blue Side.
One day the moon and stars were having
a party. They were eating supper when
the moon said; II think 1 am the greatest
because 1 light up the paths for people to
walk In and everybody looks up to me and
trys to find the beautiful lady in the moon
and sometimes they try to find the chill
dren." "oh, well" said the stars, you can
brag all you want to, but think Of us. We
help to light up the paths and people look
up at us and try to find the big and little
dippers."
Just then the sun stepped in and said
1T is all very well to talk. but listen to
me. I light up all the world in The day
time and the vegetables, flowers and trees
look to me for light and assistance and !
help to make the beautiful summer"
Thus the quarrel ended and they all
went to their homes in the heavens.
When the sun went home its mother said
Il am ashamed Of you for Dragging. And
hereafter 1 shall make your time shorter -
And that is why the sur sets in the even

The Diamond Dipper

BY Ruth Bailey, Aged II Years, Alvo, Neb,
Red Side.
Once upon a time 1t was very hot and
very dry. No rain had fallen for days and
days. The birds had stopped singing and
the animals were dying for want of water.
All the people were praying for rain.
One morning a little girl started out to
find some water for her sick mother. In
her hand she carried a tin dipper. She
climbed a hill hoping to find a spring.
Up and up she climbed The sharp stones
cut her feet. Their TRANCE shapes filled
her with fear, but she thought of her sick
mother and would not turn back. At last
she came to a great wall of rocks and
could go no farther.
"Oh, that some good fairy would show
mel" she cried. Then a beautiful fairy
stood before her in a robe like the clouds
at sunset, She pointed to a narrow path
among the rocks. The child followed the
path and soon came to a spring hidden
under green fern leaves. She filled her
dipper to the brim.
The little girl hurried home, with a happy
heart, and gave the water to her mother.
The gentle mother raised the dipper to her
lips, but she did not drink. my faithful
nurse, let her drink first she said.
AS she gave the dipper to the nurse II
was changed into a diamond Afterwsrd
the dipper could never be found. One night
the little girl was looking at the stars and
saw her dipper.

and crying with grief and sorrow. When
Abraham was 16 years old he clerked in

Once a woman came in and bought some
things and paid for them and went home.
Abraham counted the money and he saw
she had given him 2 cents more than she

walked eight miles with the 2 cents, just
to show how thoughtful he was.
One day his father went away alone and
came home with his second wife, Mrs.
Sarah Bush. She was very well educated.
Abraham married a girl named Mary Todd.

The Valentines

BY Helen Nerrill, Age 10 Years. The Streh-
low, No. ~, Omaha, Neb. Blue Side.
Emmit and Ellen were brother and sister.
They were very poor and lived in a two
room hut will their mother.
1t was two days before Valentines day
and Emmit and Ellen were very sure st.
Valentine wouldn't forget them. SO when
the day before Valentines day came, the
children wrote a letter TO st. Valentine and
asked him not to forget them. They put
their address in the letter and put it qS,t
on the window sill. The wind blew 1t away
and 1t landed in a yard where a rich little
girl lived. Her name was Ethel. She saw
the letter and ran down and got it. She
read 1t and then called her maid and went
down town. She bought lots OF valentines
and early on Valentines day went over to
see the children. When they saw all the
valentines they were very happy.
The next day Ethel's mother went over
to see Emmit and Ellen's mother. She en-
gagged their mother to come and be the
~housekeeper and live there with her chill
dren. She went there the next day and you
may be sure Emmit and Ellen gave val
entines to other poor children and made
them happy.
What Ethel had EmmIt and Ellen had,
and they were always treated as Ethel's
brother and sister, and were very happy.
