NOT ALTOGETHER A DEFEAT
Bride Had Made One Reservation She
Intended to Live
Up To.

A clergyman tells the following
story: He was marrying a young
couple. All went well until he reached
that part Of the service where the
bride has to say, Il will love, honor
and obey"
The first part Of the sentence she
would say all right, but on reaching
the word ''obey" she refused to say it,
but made some kind of noise very
like 1t.
The clergyman again repeated it,
but she still refused to pronounce the
word distinctly.
The parson now became rather
vexed about this and informed the
young lady that unless she said it cor.
rectly this time he would refuse to
marry them.
The bride, rather crestfallen, again
repeated the words, but on coming to
the fatal word she again hesitated, but
eventually pronounced it distinctly.
AS they were on the way to the YES
try she whispered to the minister,
well. shan't shine his shoes"

Under the law passed by the last
Legislature financial statements of the
school districts of the first and sec
ond classes are now required to be
published semi-annually. Another law
passed was that requiring city coun-
ellis to publish their proceedings
covering such as relate to the pay
ment of bills, contracts, rebates. ETC..
within 20 days after the date OF
meeting. These two laws are now in
effect and as a penalty is provided
in each case where the requirements
are not complied with, city and
school officials should give the mat
ter their attention.

Making Use Of the Rhine.

The German Rhine is commercially
the most important stream in the
world. 1t furnishes a most illuminat
ing contrast to the decadent Mississip
pi.
The United States has expended
more money in the twenty years ended
in 1907 on the most important stretch
of the Mississippi, 206 miles between
st. Louis and Cairo, than the German
central government has expended in
the improvement of the Rhine from
Strassburg to the frontier of Holland
distance OF 355 miles.
Yet the amount of tonnage handled
on this portion of the Mississippi in
1905 was 374.093 tons, while that on
the Rhine in the same year was be
tween 100000 and 100000 tons
an amount from eighty to 100 times
as great.-American Review of Re
views.

That the number of bills referred
to the people at the next election
under the referendum system will
exceed the number anticipated is
evidenced by the numerous petitions
being circulated to procure the sub
mission of certain measures. The
governor is complaining about the
big expense that will be incurred in
submitting the bills to the people by
publishing them in the newspapers.
He thinks it better to wait until a
change is made in the law that re-
quires the publication of initiated and
referred measures in the newspapers
and suggests the pamphlet system.
The pamphlets have been tried in
Oregon and the expense has been
found to be about the same as when
the newspapers are used with results
far less satisfactory.

Will Irwin, who has just completed
series of articles for Golfers on
"The American Newspaper" says in
speaking of libel suits, every news
paper man knows that certain peo-
pie with no reputation to lose re-
joice over q newspaper libel against
them as over a prize in a lottery-it
is a chance for easy money. Every
newspaper man knows also how re-
luctant are those of real pride and
responsibility to sue for libel" The
writer has learned from his own ex-
perience in newspaper work that
there are those only too anxious to
bring suit just to bask in the sun
light of the cheap publicity which at
taches to such action. 1t is well
known fact to newspaper workers
that those whose regulations it is
an impossibility to damage through
any printed censure or criticism-due
to the lack of reputation-are the
first to sue. Men OF force and char
acter tower above the overgrowns
who are too touchy to let n news
paper attack pass unnoticed.
