peared.
DR.. Emery frowned, partly because
the garden seemed less beautiful and
partly because he had been inter-
rupted in his attempt to diagnose this
peculiar form of brain malady. The
puzzled frown remained as the doctor
returned to the house.
At an early hour of the morning
there came to the Doctors ears that
same tinkling laugh. He jumped hur-
riedly from his bed and looked out of
the window.
The sun was a great ball in the
eastern sky, and It cast its dawning
color over the girl in the next garden.
This Is assuredly a peculiar case"
muttered the doctor, while he kept
fascinated eyes upon the girl. She
was in the front garden now and a
blue kimono eaveloped her; her head
was bound closely in a turban effect
of the same shade, and she was trip
ping quickly about among the great
hydrangea bushes. From time to
time she would select blossom and
hold 1T in two caressing hands, then
suddenly bury her face in its soft
depths. 1t was at such moments that
the little laugh rang out. The doctor
watched her fuss over the tiny white
petals that chung to her eyes and lips
and nose.
"She is just plum dippy!" calculated
DR.. Emery, with tinge of irritation
that she should be getting SO much
Joy out Of living. Il suppose IL l dis
covered a cure for her she would be
rs grumpy then as she is happy now"
The girl then went down into the
back garden and selected an ear of
corn from the stocks. which she ate,
nibbling 1t with apparent relish.
Then she sampled peas, carrots and
beets.
Mud and all! Most extraordinary"
For the first time in his career DR..
Emery regretted that he was not an
insanity expert. "She seems to thrive
on it-never saw such a beauty in all
my life,' was the doctors thought as
he crept back into bed after the girl
had returned to the house. He lay a
long time wondering how he could ar
range to talk to the girl without arous-
ing her suspicion.

Beauty and the Doctor
tcoDyriaht. 1911. By Ass0cissed Literary Pr.s.3

By CATHERINE CUupE

The young doctor drew in a great
breath of country air The garden at
the rear of the old home in which he
was to spend his vacation was mass
of scented flowers. Roses, zenias
dahlias all clustered about like little
joyous souls rowing in the moonlight.
- A refreshing rain had cooled the
air, and because the night was beau
tiful, and the doctor young, his
thoughts turned toward the girl to
whom his heart had lately responded
Because his mind was In a chaotic
condition regarding the depth of his
feeling toward Rose Langdon, DR..
Emery had come to the solitude of the
old manor house on Long Island.
His thoughts, for the moment bent
chiefly on the beauty of the night.
We're easily interrupted. He paused
and listened.
In the walled garden next door a
soft swishing sound made regular har-
mony to his ear. He drew nearer the
wall and looked. over through a clump
of bushes. His eyes opened wide and
he leaned cautiously away from the
moon rays.
Was she wrath or q blood and
bone girl who trailed back and forth
over the rain-soaked grass? DR..
Emery, so completely startled out of
his everyday, humdrum city life. could
not definitely answer the question.
He watched with fascinated attention.
The girls attire was white and
.clingy and traily, and as she moved
across the long grass her bare feet
peeped forth. Those little feet found
a pool of water left by the recent
rain, and gleeful chuckle fell from
the girls lips.
''Insanel" muttered the young doc
tor. by Jove! What a pity-she is
as beautiful as the lilies.
''They toll not, neither do they
spin" thought the doctor, and the
pity dropped out Of his thoughts, the
girl seemed SO absolutely happy, so
evidently joyous in this condition of
the mind. After humming few notes

A TRUE SAYING

Someone long ago quoted Abra-
ham Lincoln as saying, "As a re-
suit of the war, corporations will
be enthroned and an era of cor
ruption in high places will follow !;
the money power of the country
will endeavor to prolong its reign
by playing, ON the prejudices of the
people till all wealth is aggregated
in a few hands and our liberties
are lost.n Mr.. Lincom's biogra-
pliers protested that Lincoln never
said this and it must be conceded
that no proof of his ever having
said it has yet been produced. But
what of that? Whether or not Lin
coin said it makes little difference,
except to his reputation for proph-
ecy, but whether it is true or not
is of vact Importance. And isn't
it true?

LOUIS D. BRANDEIS
FOR LA TOILETTE

The vote of Wisconsin at the
presidential primaries on April 2
is no idle compliment to a favorite
son. 1t expresses the deliberate
conviction of the citizens OF
great commonwealth that Robert
M. La Toilette is by character,
ability and experience the man
best fitted to deal, as president,
with the grave and fundamental
problems before the American peo-
pie. That judgment is of signifi-
canoe, because it WAS rendered in
state where La Toilette has been
known in public life for thirty
years and has been tried in every
high Office within the gift of the
people; because it was rendered
by his fellow citizens who long
and obstinately combated his prin-
ciples and policies but finally be-
came convinced of their wisdom
and justice, and joining with him
have made their state the leader of
progressive thought in America.
No man in public life today ex-
presses the ideals of American
democracy 30 fully as does La Fol
lette in his thought, his acts, his
living. No man in public life to-
day has done SO much toward the
attainment of those ideals. He is
far seeing, of deep convictions and
indomitable will; straightforward,
able, hard working, persistent and
courageous. Louis ID. Brandeis.
The Monte Vista journal., 1912-04-27
NOT A STALKING HORSE

When requested to combine with
Roosevelt La Toilette refused. He
says:
81 answered that ! had never
played that kind of politics and
never would-that | had become a
candidate at the earnest solicita-
ton of progressive republicans be-
cause | stood for certain well de-
fined principles, that l did not rec
ognize Roosevelt as standing for
those principles, that / refused
absolutely to be d stalking horse
for the candidacy of any man; that
| never turned back or surrendered,
and that if had such a record as
a progressive as they were urging
me to make, | would never have
been selected as candidate to
lead the present contest; and if l
were to make such a record, |
would never be able to hold up my
head or to look an honest man in
the face"

taineer and thoroughly used to the
thin air of Colorado New Mexico
and other Western states, will have.
a distinct advantage over the ne
gro July when they meet in the
attenuated ozone of Las Vegas.
Las Vegas 5000 Feet High.
The battle-ground, it should be re-
membered, is over 5000 feet above
sea level considerably higher than
was the arena at Reno where john
son gained a clear title TO the
championship nearly two years
ago. This makes the air mighty
thin and unless mans lungs and
heart are in excellent shape and
thoroughly acciimated he is apt to
have trouble in a long encounter.

May Have Morning Fight.
The hint that perhaps the Reno
fight wasn't a good test Of Jack's
lung and heart capacity, inasmuch
as he scarcely breathed hard dur
ing the entire fifteen rounds,
brought out a hearty laugh from
the big champion.
If the present plans of Promoter
Curley go through, this champion
ship battle probably will be decided
in the morning of the big national
holiday. Curley has suggested such
a scheme to the men of Las Vegas
who are backing the big battle, adj
vancing several good reasons for it,
and the chances are the idea will be
adopted
For one reason. if the men are
called into the ring at 10 o'clock the
heat will not be so great or SO try
ing on them as it would be in the
middle OF the afternoon. In addi-
ton, it would give the thousands Of
strangers that are expected to be
in Las Vegas on special trains a
better chance to get out of town
and on their way home before
nightfall.
Helps the Newspapers.
Curley also has his eye out for
the newspapers He believes a
morning fight would give the pa
pers all over the country a chance
to get out their fight extras and
thus leave the afternoon clear for
the handling of the Pacific coast
battles and the ball games. Curley
says that the papers have been so
kind to him that he is anxious to
do all he can to further their game.
