Her Fine
Rosebush

II am sure grandma win like it, daddy said, "and since you are
speaking d roses / want to tell you about Sustes rosebush Susie lived In the
CITY. and some one gave her a rosebush in a nice big pot
asudes rse was the kind that flowers every month instead OF once a year,
as the roses in our garden do
"The roses were so lovely that every one who saw them said. 'oh, my, how
pretty your roses areP And Susie would cut OF one Of the roses and give it to
the speaker
"I wouldn't give my flowers away Suses sister woutd say.
"There was to be a flower show In the fall and q prize was to be given to
the boy or girl who sent the handsomet flower.
"snaes sister never cut the flowers OF her plant She never gave flowers
away. She was afraid it might hurt the plant As INT days went % ootn
plants became larger and handsomer.
"The month before the show Susie thought she would not cut the plant
any. but her dear mother had a sick friend, and Susie sent ross to the In
valid. and another day she gave a flower to the mtlknan,s who said his little
girl was in the hospital. It happened that every one Of the few roses that
came out were cut of and given away. There was only q single rosebud to
open the next month
"t was a lovely pale pink one. When Susie had given the leaves OF the
bush a bath in water made Just q little warm the plant looked q handsome
that you could not help admring It.

{ AND sPITTERs.

In some cities campaigns are being
waged against the speeders and the
spitters. Both are dangerous to the
public. The speed maniacs who rush
madly along the streets endangering
the lives OF pedestrians are a constant
menace. Their regulation is impera-
tive.
Fargo has been fortunate this year
iE this respect. The autoists them
selves appear to be determined to OBJ
serve the law better--especially in the
down town districts. OF course many
Of them hit things up too rapidly or
north Broadway.
The splitter, however, Fargo seems
to have at all times. There is an or
dinancs which prohibits splitting on
the sidewalks-but it is constantly
violated and the memory Of the Oldest
member OF the police force scarcely
runneth back to the date an arrest
was made for sucn violation.
Expectoration on the sidewalks is a
constant to health and the vi
olators should be yanked up on short
order. Chief Keefe might have his
blue-coats pay attention to both the
epeedeys and the spitters.

WHAT'S REALLY NEEDED.

The st Louis Times isn't far of in
the following editorial u~tterance:
The two latest political conventions
called together in the United States
should bring home to the public the
lesson that the nation has less need Of
brilliant, or personally ambitious, or
~stubbornly forceful men, than of a
higher average Of citizenship-the
thing the founders Of the government
had In mind, the thing which should
be regarded as the destiny OF a democ-
racy, the thing for which the public
schools have been multiplied.
The familiar phrase "a government
by the people" means nothing IL we
are to encourage the practice OF fol-
lowing b~lindfold, an individual who
makes large pretensions, but whose
life proves clearly that he is merely
more ambitious, in a selfish way, than
thousands Of other men who pillow
their fields, or mend their shoes or
write their books or order their stores.
There is needed in a president no
phenomenal talents. A mar wise
enough to know why the nations Of
the earth rose and fell, who fully re-
Allies the rights Of his neighbor,
who is simple natured and single
h~earted-these are the qualities which
count.
The world reveres Lincoln not be-
cause he was extraordinary, but
rather because he was possessed Of
those virtues and gifts which lie
within the reach Of every man. He
made himself a true man; 1t was cir
cumstances which made him an i'm
mortal man.
There is not a community In the
land which does not number among it's
citizens men who might be trusted to
preside over the affairs Of the nation,
with sensible and alert councillors
about them.
There is need Of a wider UNDER
standing OF the truth that 1t is the
average which coats; that every citi-
zen has his part to play in the main
tenance Of good government; that the
"silver-tongued orators" and the cum
ming organizers may lack every quail
ity which makes for sanity and safety
and the progress of the individual
who makes up the whole population.

HANNA, Il MAN.

Il would rather have the kindly feel
ing of my neighbors, as shown by the
crowd at the Hanna demonstration
last night. and never be governor
than to be governor for the next ten
years and not have their friendship"
The foregoing statement was made
by a man who participated in the
n6n-phrtisan demonstration last night
In honor Of l. b. Hanna. Tie men
who marched to Mr.. Hanna's residence
did so without any political purpose.
They wished to extend their congrat-
nlations to the man who had been
nominated governor. More than that
they wrsned to show their esteem and
friendly feeling for the man who has
spent thirty years OF his life In this
courtyard stands with such q splen-
did record that even his bitterest po-
ntical opponents could not ind any
thing worthy Of attack. .
MR. Hanna was Almost overcome by
the evidence Of good feeling OF the
part or his business associates and
naighbors. There were men in the
line OF march who rarely participate
In such events Il Is certain that the
evening Of jury ! viii long remain in
his memory as one OF the brightest
hours OF his life.

III alcohoI-that burn the consumer up
inside-while the heat does the BUSH
ness outside.
In matters Of diet, too, the women
certainly use as good judgment as the
men. they run to salads and cold
meats and things like that-while the
men gorge themselves on hot roasts
and steaks.
Taken altogether, the summer wora-
an has the edge on the urnner man.
The latter viii continue to observe the

more he imagtnes he Is doing the
proper thing.
some day the men will revolt They
will wear lighter and less clothing
and they will be less devoted 70 fash

some day, show as much judgment
and common sense as the women
they so freely criticise.
