a Lovers Predicsment,

The Los Angeles Times tells offahe
pathetic ease of Il young woman Mho,
because of Il fall in the Tourainc
Apartments has dropped a year from
her life. Now, seemingly in perfect
health, the last year is Il blank in1her
memory. and she remembers only up
TO october, 1910, when she lived in
Atlanta. Ga. She goes about the
Touraine Apartments with her moth
er sister and finance. in the belief
that she is still at Atlanta, with 9th
er members of the family, and no eff
fort on the part of her loved ones has
in any way succeeded in relating her
in consciousness with Los Angeles or
with anything that has TRANSFERRED
there within the last twelve months.
1t places her lover in the somewhat
embarrassing position of being obliged
to WOO his sweetheart all over again.
Imagining herself in a hospital. near
Atlanta. she believes her lover to be
physician of the institution in charge
of her case, and as such she has be-
come exceedingly fond of him.
Perhaps the position is the most
strange of any in which lover ever
found himself. 1t should prove an
inspiration for the novelist, as this
condition of facts is indeed stranger
than fiction. The young man in the
case, it seems to us. is confronted by
the discouraging possibility that. when
he has re-won the young lady,ti she
may recover her memory and he .syill
again be out in the cold. or at least,
complicate a somewhat delicate situ-
alton beyond all hope of solution.

GREATEST BLUNDER OF MY LIFE.
From Experience of Five Hundred Men
Recorded in Crerar Library.

Reading worthless books.
Did not stick to my trade
Did not stick to anything.
Did not take care of money.
Beating some one out of money.
Careless about my religious duties.
When | left my church and mother.
Not saving money when !, was
young.
Refused a steady position with a
good firm.
The greatest biunder of my life was
gambling.
Was to fool away my time when
was at school.
Thinking that my boss could not do
without me.
Would not hearken to the advice OF
older people.
Not keeping my position, but grew
slack in my work
When | left school before | was
past the fourth grade.
My greatest blunder was when
first learned to smoke.
The greatest blunder of my life
was not aoeepting Christ, and thereby
avoiding many sorrows caused 10y

In IA situation like this the question is
whether honest men and good citizens
shall surrender to Il lawless crowd. who
have got the reinS of government and are
mismanaging the public interests. Just as
their political opponents used TO do 10
years ago in WaterNille and other places.
] hope that the issue will not be solved
along party lines. Good government is
not an exclusive prerogative of the Re-
publican party or bad government of the
Democratic party. Let us oppose and eX-
pose officials who nullify our laws. and
let us support and commend officials who
are faithful to their duties, like sherifs
Mooers and Small. and Judges Shaw and
Beane. H. y. I'ringle.

Col. Bryan's Onions,

\ Mission, Tex. dispatch says that
the onion crop of Hon. w. J. Bryan,
who owns farm of 200 acres in the
valley of Lower Rio Grande. near that
city, was SO large, this year, that he
has decided to build a more maEniti-
cent home for himself. His crop of
Bermudas and other products WAS so
much greater than he had anticipated
that he has turned over his present
handsome residence to his superinten-
dent, and will erect Il $25,000 house
this fall. Hence we may expect that
If Col. Bryan's onion crop Increases,
next year, in proportion to the claims
of Texas land boomers, he VIII in the
fall of the campaign year, build new
and still more luxurious home. Verify,
the strength of the onion is greater
than the political aspirations of some
distinguished men. Let the onion
raising go ON. and may thefgood Colo
mel keep his money in circulation by
