members of both houses who may not
have been of the combination that car
ried through the organization, who are
by virtue of long service, experience,
knowledge of publ caffairs and personal
qualifications, fitted to render splendid
service, both to the legislative bodies
and to the state As far as possible,
the opportunity should be given every
member of both houses to do his best
work in the interests of the state. And
to do this is to characterize the leader
ship of both houses with that breadth
and reasonableness that goes a long
time without mishaps. To do otherwise
is merely to do what has been too
often done in the past, and that has
brought dissension and lack of harmony
wherever it has been long continued.
Leadership brings responsibility and the
leadership of the two houses is now up
for testing. How long it will continue
i'll the party will depend upon how it is
exercised.

Keen In tho Sunshine.

There are only two kinds of people In
the world-the people who live in the
shadow and gloom and those who live
on the sunny side of the street. These
Swallowed ones are sometimes called
pessimists, sometimes people Of melan-
choly temperament; sometimes they
are called disagreeable people. But,
wherever they 60, their characteristic
is this-their shadows always travel on
before them. These people never bear
their own burden, but expose all their
wounds to others. They are all so
busy looking down for pitfalls and
sharp stones and thorns on which to
step that they do not even know that
there are any stars in the sky. These
folks live on the wrong side Of the
street. And yet it Is only twenty feet
across to the other sidewalk. where
sunshine always lies.-Newell Dwight

French Official Red Tape.

Two men went to Nice lately from
Italy to attend funeral and took
with them a wreath Of flowers to
which was fastened q silk ribbon bear
ing an inscription. They were in
formed at their destination that they
would have to pay Il duty equivalent
to $25. The mourners protested, say
ing that the wreath was made of nat
ural flowers on which there was no
duty, but they were informed that the
dutiable part was the silk and that,
according to the tariff laws, duty must
be collected on the gross weight Of
the memorial emblem. Then the men
agreed to throw the ribbon away, but
this could not be done on French soil,
and SO they journeyed back to the
frontier, where they disposed Of the
ribbon, boarded a train for Nice with
the rlbbonless wreath and arrived too
late for the funeral.

Most Beautiful Water In World.

Little restaurants are scattered along
the cliff overlooking the bay Of Capri,
and here by the waters edge you can
sit and sip and gaze at Vesuvius away
of in the distance or perhaps at the
water in the bay below.
The most beautiful water in the
world! The blue water Of the grottO
is more mystical, perhaps, but the wa
ter Of the bay Of Capri is more ex.
quisite. 1t is wonderful pale green,
with a greener, darker color streaked
through 1t. There is no other water
like it in all the world.
And here in the little restaurant you
sit and sit, gazing at the water below,
although you know in your heart you
ought to be seeing the rest Of the
place. But the water is SO green and
beautiful that when the warning whis-
tie of the Naples steamer blows you
awake with start and realize you
have seen nothing Of Capri at all
nothing but the emerald water, so en-
ticing and beautiful.-Mary .Sutley In
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Conditions Reversed,

One of the finest examples Of "paw-
KY humor is placed to the credit Of
an old gardener who was in the serv-
ice of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Alex
ander Milne. The admiral was a
grand old man, full Of goodness and
kindness, but a strict dlsciplinarian.
The gardener having omitted to do
something which he had been told to
do, his master said to him:
"When 1 was on board ship would
have had you put in irons for disobe-
dience."
The old gardener was not much per-
turbed at the idea, but, leaning ON his
spade, replied:
AYE, maybe, Sir Alexander, but
when We were on board ship ye had a
hunder men tae dae ae job, an moo ye
haze ae man tae dae a hunder jobs"

MUZZLING THE PRESS.
A Much Favored Official Duty At One
Time In Enuland,

UUo W 6USsaUo'
There was time in England when
government officially viewed the press
as hostile power. to be destroyed If
possible-to be 'curbed at any cost. In
1858 Roger L'Estrange, "overseer Of
the PRESS brought out his Consider
atoms and Proposals In Order to the
Regulation of the Press" He advo-
Gated the severest restrictions for au-
thors and printers, as well as for the
letter founders and the smiths and
joiners that work upon the premises"
and 1.-THE stitchers, binders, stat!rners.
hawkers, mercury women, peddlers,
ballad singers, posts, carriers, hackney
coachmen, boatmen and mariners"
Il proposal Of L'Estrange was that
culprits convicted of having broken
the Inv should be condemned ito wear
some visible badge or mark of igno-
miny, as halter instead Of hat
band, one stocking blue and another
red, a blue bonnet with a red letter 4
or S upon it," A few years later LES
TRANCE went one better by declaring
that newspapers ought not be allowed
at all.
He said that the reading of them
makes the multitude too familiar
with the actions and councils of their
superiOrS. too pragmatical and censo-
rious, and gives them not only an itch
but 4 kind Of colorado right and license
to be mcddling with the government"
In 1855 L'Estrange was knighted.-

What tho Boys Thought.

A prominent educator, talking to
class in an elementary school he had
visited, decided to illustrate point ne
was making by problem IN long divi-
sion, the intricacies Of which the class
had just mastered. He put down the
necessary figures and then said:
snow, let US see how many times
this number will go into the other. Let
US try six" He tried six, and, as he
intended, six wouldn't do. swell, let's
try five, then" he said. Five was all
right, and he went ahead with his talk.
On his way home that evening he
overlook two small boys with book
bags under their arms and heard this
conversation:
"Say, Bill, did long whiskered,
baldheaded old Teller come into your
room today?'
"Yep," replied Bill.
"And did he talk to you?"
"Yep," said Bill.
"Well, 80 he did to us, but the fun
NEST thing, by golly, was that the old
chump stumped himself on an example
in long division. "-Philadelphia Times.

SAVED BY QUICK WIT.
Clever Ruse Of a French Peasant Call.
ed For Conservation.


cd For Consumption.
Two young men of certain French
village were called on to draw for
CONSUMPTION. One only was wanted to
complete the number, and Of the two
who were to draw one was the son of
q rich farmer and the other the only
child of poor widow.
The farmer made friends with the
official in charge Of the ballot and
promised him u handsome present If
he would only prevent his son from
going into the army. In order to do
this the official put into the urn two
black balls instead Of one black and
one white. When the young men came
he said:
"There are two balls, one black and
one white, in the urn. He who draws
the black one must serve. Your turn
is first" pointing to the widows son.
The latter, suspecting that all was
not fair, drew one of the balls from
the urn and Immediately swallowed 1t
without even looking at it.
"Why have you done that?" asked
the official "HoW are we to know
whether you have drawn a black or
white ball?'
ooh, that's very simple" was the re-
ply. LET the other man now draw
If I have the black he must necessari-
~ draw the white one."
There was no help for it. and the
farmers son. putting his hand into the
urn. drew the remaining ball. which.
to the satisfaction of the spectators,
was black one.

Rossini's jealousy,

Rossini was intolerably jealous Of
all his musical contemporaries. and
particularly Of Meysrbeer. In 1886
he heard The Huguenots," and on
listening to tine performance from the
beginning to the end he made up his
mind that Meyerbeer had excelled him
and determined to write no more op.
cratic music. He lived until 1868, but
produced nothing for the lyric stage.
His thirty-two years Of retirement
We're spent in the pleasures of volup-
tuary. He was particularly fond of
good eating and drinking and as.
sembled about him the youngest and
gayest society he could attract to his

SUING FOR HIS ARM.
}. W. Anders Wants $4,000 From the
Santa F'e.

The J. W. Anders suit against the
Santa F'e for $25, 600 damages is again
on trial in the district court and may
occupy the attention of the court Cor
two days. Anders, who was a brake
man, asks $4,000 for the loss of his left
arm.
The plaintiff was injured March IL,
1907, at Morris, a small station on the
Santa Fe. when he fell over wire
spool and one arm was caught under
the wheels of a slowly moving freight
train. Anderson was walking between
two tracks the night of the accident
and had been instructed to open
switch, when he stumbled and fell. He
alleges that the accident was due to
contributory negligence on the part OF
the defendant company because the OIL
in his lantern was of a poor grade ana
the inferior light prevented him from
seeing the wire spool that caused the
trouble.
When the case was first tried two
years ago, it was dismissed on de-
murrer and the plaintiff went to the
supreme court. The action of the low
e4- court was reversed and the action
Temanded for further hearing AT tns
