WHY A HOSPITAL.

The promises of substantial recognition accorded the
proposition tobuid hospital here in Morris at the In
provement Union entertainment Friday evening appear
to justify the belief that the necessary funds for hos
pital here can in due time be raised
Fifteen thousand dollars seems like lot of money,
but after things expensive not in direct
proportion to how badly 1--WE want them If we desire
thing earnestly enough, usually find the money to
pay for it.
The address of DR.. Armstrong showed US that hos
pta is means of saving lfe and that there is not price
which we will hesitate to pay for life.
That convenient hospital is means of alaylng much
suffering we'll presented in the story of the woman
sick unto death riding cot in a baggage car filled
with poultry.
That hospital money in sickness was we'll shown
by comparison of the expense of sickness in farmers

hospital than to pay the long drives made by the ply

causing it be favoraby spoken of place where the
citizens are progressive and humanitarian. 1t is one
step toward finished civilization.

Old Time Radicalisrn.

Many of conservative people feel nowadays that
the foundations of the world being shaken by such
laws the inheritance and others affecting property
rights They regret the good old days when states
men all stood without hitching
We therefore much interested, in reading the
article Convictions of grandfather in the February
Scrbner by Judge Robert Grant to learn that inheritance
taxes used as far back the times of Emperor
Augustus, A. D. g. and that the Romans borrowed the
idea from the Egyptians. who practced it still earlier
This idea running far back into history is getting
strong foothold systems of taxation Many honest
property holders feel that other system of taxation
works with such absolute justice. The tax the living
mans stock and bonds will always be lodged The honest
man would rather pay heavy mpost such property
when he nhers it, than pay fair tax by drblets while
his neghbors lying out of their burdens.-Browns

SHOWING UP THE CRIMINAL LAW.

County Attorney James Robertson of Hennepn county,
appears to making good start in getting of the
abuses and weaknesses of law enforcement in this state
corrected.
At the meeting of county attorneys he suggested
that police board be created and that the police
department taken of the control of city authorities
One reason urges is that the police department would
thus be divorced from local politics and local Bosses In
the large city the policeman and the criminal too apt

But where the police system In unsatisfactory In
the large city because of corruption it is inefficient in the
state large of lack of organization The sheriff.
constable marshal and policeman of and country
all expected apprehend criminals and prevent crime,
but there unity of action among them
may prevail thru courtesy Every person in the state
with authority apprehend should unit in efec
tive organization having central authority in each
county and one head with control all police officers
in the whole The advantages Of such organiza
ton are too apparent to need discussion.
Mr. Robertson would accomplish this with a police
board of three members to be named by the
chief justice and attorney general who would give their
entire time to the boards work. They would conduct
civil service examinations and appoint to in
any city the local officers might request Cities would
be prohibited from appointing maintaining their owr
police and the policemen assigned to each city would be
under control of the sheriff IF the county.
Another most important matter which Mr. Robertson
has brought has been ruling the duties Of the
county attorney. The ruling simply recites the law

his only duty prosecute Offenders after they ap

W. F. Schiling of Mortified, in the of letter

The man who will be chosen for of this great

An hour later, arrayed in a dingy calico wrapper, Miss Lefty went out to her poultry house. The flock rush. cd noisily to meet her.
 "Yes, I have your supper, greedy things" she greeted them; Out how do you repay me- I have watered and fed you all winter; shoveled snow to get to you; never once forgotten you. Yet you have not given me eggs enough to keep me from getting hun gry! I cannot keep it up much longer; when this feed is gone, I shall begin roasting you unless you do better!"
 After the fowls were made comfort able for the night, Miss Lefty did what she had done every day all win ter-she looked hopelessly through the square wooden boxes used as nests. In one, high up, was small brown egg!

 She even nodded kindly to John Danforth when she saw him pottering about his own poultry yards.
 fI wonder what he would think if he could know how many eggs l am get ting" she thought with a smile or amusement. 'IIe was so certain 1 did not know how to take care of hens."
 The amusement faded from her face and she went into her little kitchen and sat down in sudden de jeetion.
 "Why can I not forget?" she cried in bitterest self-seorp. What a goose I ami"
 How she had trusted him! How happy she had been Even in her childhood he had been her best friend And then to have him fail a victim to pair of dancing eyes and 9 coquet~ tish smile!
 "Of course do not blame him." she said aloud, glancing involuntarily into the mirror opposite T know am plain and little and everyday But how could I ever trust him again?"
 "But he was true, afterward," said an insistent voice within her, "and he wanted to come back!"
 s'Yes,' said Lefty proudly, ''ne wanted to come back to Squire Browns daughter! But has he ever wanted to come back to Lefty Brown of the weather-beaten old cottage?"
 Hasn't he wanted to shovel your paths, and make your garden, and care for your hens?' continued the voice. And haven't you discouraged him at every turn?''

 The weather had changed, and the day was sunny and still. As she worked about the house, Lefty list ened hopefully for some disturbance from the chicken house. In the ad- joining yard there was an incessant clatt1r of shrill, cackling voices, but her own was ominously silent.
 I don't know as I could hear just one hen cackle above that racket, any way" she said, a little spitefully, as she scattered the midday feeding over the sunny yard. ''Now, understand, l shall expect two eggs tonight"
 Very anXiously Miss Lefty groped through the high nests that evening. Again there was one little brown egg! But she continued doggedly to inspect each shadowy box. In the last one, down next to the little door through which the hens ran to the hack park in summer, her hand came in contact with something that brought her

IollnnY on Easter

My dear teacher has asked me to write a composition on Easter, and 1 will, therefore, say that it is a day when all rejoice. I asked my mother why we should all rejoice on that day, and she replied that if she couldn't have $2 to buy new hat with hens feather in 1t my father would be made to think brick house had struck the back of his neck.
 ''I asked father why we should re- joiee and be glad, and he said that if mother didn't do less gadding and more home work somebody would hear something drop.
 q think We should all rejoice, how ever. Spring is here and such of us as did not freeze to death jn the win ter are hearing the songs of the rob. ins and roller skating on one foot.
 There is something about Palm Sunday, but I do not know just what. Last year I saw boy with a palm in his hand and I asked him why he carried 1t, and he said he was learn ing to be palmist.
