Vote for Major.

MIR. Farmer, stand up. When the
matter of assessing farm lands along
with all property, at its full market
value was up before the State
Board of Equalization, Elliott W.
Major, as member of the Board,
was your friend and voted against
the proposition. Had he voted for
it, you would be paying taxes to
the full value of your farm. Now
the question is do you appreciate
what Major did for you9 If you do,
manifest that appreciation by vot-
ing for him for Governor at the
August primary, When you needed
a friend, Major stood by you. Now
that he needs a friend, what are
you going to do about it? Can you
hope to be faithfully served unless
you show your appreciation of the
men who fight. your battles? Major
is a strong candidate because he be-
longs to no faction and has a splen-
did record behind him. He can be
elected and he will be nominated If
the farmers are as loyal to him as
Major was to their interest. One
thing is certain, with Major govern
or there would be no scheme def hv
like full assessment or single tax
whereby the farmer would get the
worst OF it. Its up to you, Mr..
Farmer to get busy for Major

Must Pay His Debts.

On last Tuesday the case of H. F.
Staple VS. Chas. Traub was tried III
circuit court of Atchison County,
Mo. The suit was brought on a
long standing account and among
other items was sixteen years sub
scription for The Atchison County
Mall, he claiming he did not take
the paper, and that he had refused
to take the paper from the post
office and mail box a number of
times. The plaintiff proved by
postmaster, deputy poStmasters and
others that Mr.. Traub did take the
paper during all the sixteen years.
In the case it was shown that ac-
cording to law. even if subscriber
does occasionally order a newspa-
per discontinued or refuse to accept
it, he cannot get out of paying what
he owes for the paper, and the sub
scriber must pay the arrearage be-
fore stopping the paper.
The jury in this case was out on
ly a short time and brought in a
verdict for the entire account in
Guiding the subscription for The
Mail = sixteen years at $1,50 year
or $24. The costs in the justice
court and the circuit court amount
ed to about 500, besides the attor-
neys' fees.

Labor and Sorrow and Joy.

There are three things to which
man is born-labor and sorrow and
joy. Each of these three things
has its baseness and its nobleness.
There is base labor and noble labor.
There is base sorrow and noble sor-
row. There is base joy and noble
joy, But you must not think to
avoid the corruption of these things
by doing without the things them
selves. Nor can any life be right
that has not all three. Labor with
out joy is base. Labor without sor-
row is base. Sorrow without labor
is base. Joy without labor is base.
From John Ruskin's Time and
Tide"

A similar case has been decided
by the court of appeals and it was
held in that case that anyone TAX
ing a newspaper must pay for it as
long hs takes it from the post
office.
This is not only law, but it also
good common sense and justice, for
why should person be allowed to
take a newspaper twenty or thirty
years and not be compelled to pay
for it?
We have been publishing The
Mail for more than twenty-seven
years and this is the first time we
have brought suit against anyone
for subscription. Nearly all our
subscribers want US to wait for
a few years and we gladly do so,
and, with few exceptions, such
credit is always appreciated and
they pay without trying an evasion
by ordering the paper stopped

How Aviators Became Famous.

Hubert Latham began his career
as a Consumptive street car con-
duct0r. doomed by the doctors. But
either the doctors we're wrong or
nying is conducive to health, for
Hubert Latham is still alive and
well, having flown more miles and
won more prize money than any
other aviator in the world.
The Wright brothers ran a bicy-
Gle shop in a small American city
when they first began to realize the
possibilities of the developing mo-
tor car power plant as a means to
the solution of the aerial problem
lem. They made themselves the
first men in tbs world to get off the
ground with man-carrying power
driven machine capable of continu-
ed flight For the last few years
the Wright brothers one of whom
recently died, not in the air, but
where most men die, in bed have
been regarded among the worlds
foremost manufacturers of flying
machines, and the property of the
firm is reputed to be worth close to
a million dollars.
Curtiss was a small motor cycle
manufacturer until he achieved
fame and fortune by the air route.
Henry Farman was a bicycle racer
until the sirens of the air allured
him.-FrOm Current Literature.

Evansville is to have a lodge of

The Housewife.

All day she is toiling, she's bak-
ing, she's boiling, she's cleaning the
windows, she's sweeping the floor;
she's sewing on patches and picking
up matches and chasing the agents
away from the door. She's cooking
she's canning, she's scheming, she's
planning, she's looking for dust with
her eye to the lens; she's laboring
hard in the early spring garden;
she's begging the neighbors to keep
up their hens. She's dyeing her
dresses and sweetly confesses
they'll look pretty we'll when they're
turned inside our, she's whacking
up cabbage to make into kraut.
There's no rest or play time through
all the long daytime, there's moth
ing in sight that would make her
heart glad; and cen when she's sit
ting she takes up her knitting to
fashion a sock or a muffler for dad.
Oh, why should a woman do tasks
superhuman. What pleasure to
her does existence accord, and
what is the garden that pays for
the burden where finds she the
profit and where the reward. Her
husband is coming, a roundelay
humming, he calls her a pet name
and gives her a kiss; her weary
face brightens, with love her eyes
Tighten, she seems quite content
with such payment as this. Walt
Mason.

i'll Should Die Tonight.

If should die tonight.
My friends would look upon my
quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting
place,
And deem that death had left it al
most fair;
And. laying snow white flowers
against my hair,
Would smooth it down with tear
full tenderness,
Poor hand 3, 50 empty and so cold
tonight!
If | should die tonight
My friends would call to mind the
loving thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hands
had sped
The memory Of my selfshness and
pride,
My hasty words would all be put
aside.
And So | should be loved and
mOurned tonight.
If should die tonight
Even hearts eStranged would turn
at once to me.
Recalling other days remcrsefully
The eyes that chill me with varied
glance
Would look upon me as of yore
perchance,
And often, in the old familiar way;
For who could war with dumb, un-
conscious clay?
So, | might rest, forgiven of all to-
night.
O, friends, | pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my dead,
cold brow
The way is lonely, let me feel them
now.
Think gently of me; l am travel
worn;
My falterine feet are pierced with
many a thorn.
Forgive, o, heart estraneed, forgive
| plead
When dreamless rest is mine / will
not need
The tenderness for which | long
