Robert Louis Stevenson was a close
student Of style and has left more
than one interesting discussion of the
technique Of writing. In letter to
r. A. NJ. Stevenson, dated October,
1883, he says:
"There is but one art-to omit! Oh,
If I knew how to omit I would ask no
other knowledge! A man who knew
how to omit would make an 1liad' Of

audience) and to young men and wom-

above few words of Stevenson's be
committed to memory and put into

Shaared Ia lnstallmanta,

Sheep are put to double use in the
northern part of India, in the Hima-
layas. They are driven from market
to market with the wool still growing,
and in each village the owner shears
as much wool as he can sell there and
loads the sheared sheep with the grain
he receives In exchange. After his
flock has been sheared he turns it
homeward, each animal carrying q
bag of grain.

BETTER SOUTHERN SERVICE
Electric Train Now to Have Right
of Way Over Steam Trains.

Electric Train NOW to Have hl2nt
of Way Over Steam Trains.
With the new schedule working
fine the Rock Island Southern Of
ficials are laying their plans now to
make the service even better than
it is. Saturday a new time card went
into effect on the C., r. 1. & P.
branch, over which the trains are
operated jointly by the two compan-
les. which gives the big electric cars
the right of way, making them first
class traffic, while the steam trains
of the other road have to run under
orders. This means that there will
be no chance of delay for the inter
urban service. as the other trains
will have to keep in the clear while
the electrics run straight through.
Under the conditions which have ex-
listed the interurban cars had to get
orders to go ahead and at times
were forced TO wait while some train
ahead of them was getting into the
next station.

You don't suppose Mr.. Valentine
would feel uncomfortable in coming
to meet our party in a nice respecta-

prim little Mrs. Moore of her cowork-
er in the Gate of Hope society.

"That young man wouldn't feel I'M

smiled proudly as she spoke.
A messenger boy came in with
note from Valentine. who had come to
Albany to thank the governor for his
release and to meet the people who
had worked to secure him his pardon.
The note. written from the governors
executive chamber, notified the ladies
that he would be with them IN fifteen

parlor and greeted the two ladies, who
informed the newcomers that Mr.

the prisoners innocence. Mr. Lane
and bis daughter had waited overnight
in Albany after the granting Of the
pardon to meet the released prisoner,
