BY the appointment of Gov. Charles
=. Hughes, of New York, as justice
OF the supreme court of the United
States to succeed the late David J.
Brewer, a strong man has been Sc
cured for that high tribunal. But the
state of New York will suffer a dis
tinct loss at time when men of high
ideals of civic virtue are needed at
the helm of state affairs. Whether
his legal training and views of life
are sufficiently broad to make good
judge, remains to be seen, but he
certainly knows the Ten Command
ments and how to apply them in every
day life.

Did anyone ever see more prosper
GUS times than we are having at the
present time? We have lived on this
mundane sphere quite a number of
years and we never saw before such
good times, good prices, good wages,
and plenty of work for all who wish
to work. And yet there are plenty
of men kicking on the present admin
istration, federal, state, county and
municipality. What do these kickers
want, if they know? Higher prices
for farm products? The prices are
higher now than they have ever been
before. Better wages for skilled and
unskilled wages? They never were
better. Shorter hours for days
work? Impossible, if wages are to
remain where they are. Then why
this everlasting fault finding? Just a
habit we take it, without an iota of
excuse for it. Let well enough alone

In the death of Samuel l.. Clemens,
or Mark Twain, the name by which
he is best known, world character
action. He occupied unique and
most distinctive place in literature.
While other writer's may be likened
to stars, Mark Twain was indeed the
comet in the literary armament. He
pursued a course entirely at variance
with that of other great writer's. His
thoughts were fresh and new and his
manner of expressing them so simple,
direct and different from others that
the public at once took notice. His
humor was always kindly, helpful and
elevating and had as it's prime object
the removal of sham, pretense, n.y.
pocricy and foolish prejudice from
this world of ours. He never ridi-
culed the right. He made the world
laugh while recounting its follies, and
as hearty laughter is the best kind
of medicine for both body and soul,
his service to mankind will be last
ing and far reaching. The world is
richer and better because Mark Twain
has lived in it. He has earned for
himself a lasting place in the hearts
of people of every nation and cline.
Tears and smiles to his memory.

The Birds Tail,

In his STORY of the Birds" James
Newton Basket says: To a slight ex-
tent in some birds the tail may be
used as rudder, but where the wing
Is perfected turning is effected with a
very scant tail. The use of the tail
always has more reference to the up
and down movements than to the lat
eral. 1t comes into play in alighting
las a brake) or in rising las a kitelike
surface) and is used dexterously by
the soaring birds in balancing them
selves against varying currents of air.

1t came to pass that Frank broke his
leg while fishing trout stream that
ran among gigantic powders. The in
jury was so serious that at the first
sight of it old DR.. Stevens, the. family
physician, was in two minds about an
amputation. To make matters worse,
Franks father had not yet returned
from trip abroad. and his mother
had been i'll and was still a prisoner
within the four corners of a bed.
Frank was carried to his room, in
the turret chamber, and there he re-
manned some days, the prey of bodily
pain and increasing mental distress.
=: Early of an. afternoon Dr.. Stevens
came to Mrs. Wright's room. She
knew that he had just seen her son,
and her eyes spoke unutterable ques-
lions. They were steel gray eyes,, sof-
tened with touch of violet. ae,,-

of national traits and characteristics
and better than any one before him
knew how to interpret and embody
in beautiful song the heart throbs of
the Norwegian people. He has done
much to foster the national spirit
and cause a revival of Scandinavian
literature. What he attempted to do
was not always understood by his
countrymen, and while his religious
views have been criticised as unor-
thodox, yet his name and his fame
will endure as long as the everlasting
mountains of which he sings in his
most famous poem, Norway's Nation
