Norfolk Hioh School Champs.

Neigh went down in defeat to the
Norfolk high school team by score
of 7 to 1, in the last game of the high
school series played on the driving
park diamond Saturday afternoon.
The winning of this game by the Nor
folk team makes them the champions
of the northeast Nebraska high
schools, having won five games and
lost one. Stanton is the only team
defeating Norfolk during the series.
Saturdays game was a spectacular
one in many innings. With the ex-
ception of only few Neigh players,
that team played a loose game and
many errors were chalked up against
them. The ball in Neligh's hands was
fumbled frequently, which either al.
lowed base or close score. Powell

Escapes to American Side of River
When Life Seems in Danger.
Ell Paso, Tex, May 15.-Gen. Navar-
forces, who gave his personal parole
to Provisional President Madero Sat
urday, and who was aided by the lat
ter in escaping to the American side
of the river when his life seemed in
danger, is endeavoring to persuade the
federal officers under him who broke
their parole and came to Ell Paso after
the surrender, to return to JuareZ and
report to the captors. Some sharp
discussions took place between one or
two of the federal officers and the
general, who upbraided them for what
he termed their lack of honor, but his
arguments were without result.
The violation of the parole had much
to do with the sudden outburst Sat
urday in which many of the insur
rectos demanded that Navarro be
courtmarshalled, while others demand
ed that he be shot.
Incidentally, Gen. Navarro express
ed his deep gratitude for his kind
treatment at the hands Of the insur
recto leaders.
From Madero himself and Other
chiefs of the revolutionists, have had
all manner of consideration" said Gen
Navarro. 81 have told Madero, how
ever, that if my absence is creating
discord for him to let them have me

THE CALF PATH.

One day through the primeval wood A calf walked home as good calves
 should;
 But made a trail all bent askew. A crooked trail as all calves do. Since then thrice hundred years have
 fled.
 And I infer the calf is dead. But still he left behind his trail. And thereby hangs the moral tale. The trail was taken up next day By a lone dog that passed that way And then a wise bellwether sheep Pursued the trail OCT vale and steep: And drew the flow behind him. too As good bellwethers always do. And from that day, OCT hill and glade Through those old woods a path was
 made.
 And many men wound in and out. And lodged and turned and bent
 about,
 And uttered words of righteous wrath Because twas such a crooked path. But still they followed-do not laugh The first migrations of that calf. And through this winding woodway
 stalked
 Because he wabbled when he walked This forest path became a lane. That bent and turned and turned
 again;
 This crooked lane became a road. Where many a poor horse with his
 load
 m ha And travelled some three miles in one And thus a century and a half They trod the footsteps of that calf The years passed on in swiftness
 fleet,
 The road became a village street: And this. before men were aware, A city's crowded thoroughfare. And soon the central street was this Of a renowned metropolis: And men two centuries and half Trod in the footsteps of that calf Each day a hundred thousand rout Followed this zigZag calf about, And OCT his crooked journey went The traffic of a continent. A hundred thousand men were led By one calf near three centuries dead. They followed still his crooked way. And lost one hundred years a day, For thus such reverence is lent To well established precedent. A moral lesson this might teach Were l ordained and called to preach; For men are prone to go it blind Along the calf-paths of the mind. And work away from sun to sun To do what other men have done. They follow in the beaten track, And out and in, and forth and back. And still their devious course pursue. To keep the path a sacred groove. Along which all their lives they move; But how the wise wood gods laugh. Who saw the first primeval calf. An, many things this tale might
 teach
 But I am not ordained to preach.

as you have in your constitution"
 The fact is, that in all the hullabal loo about the supposed necessity of the initiative and referendum for the purpose of securing needed legisla ton. there was a total failure to point out any law on our statute books that ought to Sbe repealed, and a failure to mention specifically any law that was wanted. But it is a fact, nevertheless, that our laws are defective as regards the protection of workingmen It has been almost inn possible for workingmen to secure compensation under our statutes for injuries sustained in the performance. of duty. even when there was no negligence on their part. The feature of the constitution thus commended by the ex-president may be regarded as too sweeping and drastic by many good citizens. But it is unquestion- able that the declaration in the con- stitution in favor of proper compen- sation for injured workingmen was in the line of wisdom and justice.
 At another point in his address, when interrupted by man in the crowd who asked about the working man generally, Colonel Roosevelt again indulged in an interpolation which was in harmony with his whole plea for good citizenship. good Amer icanism and a stand by all good citizens against the class spirit and against class divisions:
 You say the workingman must be helped by all workingmen? l agree with you. I'll go further: Workingmen should be helped by all good Ameri- cans (applause) and-nOw wait mo- ment-the workingman should be a good American and should help oth- CTS"
 The tumultuous cheers with which this statement was greeted showed in form the splendid Ameri-- canism of the great crowd.
 Altogether, it was a great speech. one of the most earnest addresses of all the speeches Colonel Roosevelt has made to the American people. It is extremely difficult to arouse Ari- zona crowds to enthusiasm, and the heartiness with which the Roosevelt speech was received by the people at Phoenix yesterday proved as nothing else could that the sentiments so forcibly expressed are the sentiments of this community.

THE PRINTING OF BOOKS

One country forms a noteworthy exception to the rule that the liter ary production grows in volume from year to year. That is Italy Its production went down from 691S in 1908 to GSS3 in 1909. and to 67SS in 1910. We do not think this a loss for the national culture of Italy. as ev- anywhere the supply of new books far exceeds the demand. In every country solid books have little chance on a market that is dumped with in- ferior products. Even the specialist finds it beyond his capacity to fol- low up the whole discussion on every problem of his discipline.
 If we inquire what class of books is most popular in the different coun- tries we arrive at some interesting conclusions. In Great Britain more than quarter of all literary produc- tions is claimed by the novel. Not less than 2SS1 volumes of this class were registered in 1909. The United States was blessed with I0S7 new works of fiction, 371 volumes less than in the previous year. The Con tinent of Europe has evidently less
 
 Germany pedagogical publications stand in front; then follows fiction: then law and political science. and then theology. But even the latter shows figures 2626 works in 191O) far in excess to the production of any other country. France and Denmark represent the normal state of things. In both countries works on the ma tional history and geography are more numerous than those of any other group. That in the intellectual life of our own times sociology and social sciences are coming to tue foreground is noticeable in the liter ary production of Italy. where this department heads the list with 753 volumes.
 What would be most interesting for all friends of international intercourse is a statistical table of the transla- tions appearing in every country. For

THE RETURN 0F SPRING

Now then that we are getting to the point in the year when the first suggestions of spring begin to throw themselves across our pathways it behooves us to plan our summers pleasures and our summers work. But it also behooves us to prepare to study some of the lessons taught by the vernal season.
 The long, tedious days of winter are gone. The dead days we might say, only we know this is not true for underlying winters mantle of white are wondrous activities that make possible the phenomena of the return of the visible expression of the resurrection of all things.
 Every twig and every bud tells again the wondrous story of the res urrection, and every thing that, an the fruition of all hope
 But of importance to each of us is the fact that the spring speaks of the renewal of opportunity. sf a re- vival of our dead selves and sounds the call to our souls to be up and doing our best
 Through the winter season the best of us are likely to grow slothful and dull, but the first breath of spring quickens our pulses and drives the blood through our veins with a force that permits no part of us to longer slumber. And so our outlook upon life loses its narrow confines and the world expands for us. We see life in a brighter aspect and we prepare to profit by it.
 As We stand in these first days of spring we say to ourselves. "Ah, but it IS glorious to be alive, It is glo- rious to live in a world like this," and as we look into the faces of the early spring flowers we truly rejoice that we have all our faculties unim- paired. We know that God is good because he has given so much to en- rich us.
