Many times she had wondered IL
her life always would be so drearily

enliven it. She hadn't the gift of
light talk or easy laughter that other
girls had. So she settled with more

Mexican elections of last Sunday that
little attention was paid to another
national election held on the same
day. and in a Latin country. as well,
namely. the election in Italy. In the
xatin-American country conditions
were so disturbed that the vote cast
was absurdly light, and It Is not ex-

thing. In Italy, the home Of the Lat

fully. good order prevailed. in the
main, and the election had definite
vesulta which were shown in an or
derly manner.
While the radical element made
gains in the legislative body, the ad-
x,,ntstration will still control. and the
verdict is accepted rs one Of popu-
lar approval Of the course OF the ad-
uninfstration. The premier and his
advisers have been successful in
bringing about the enactment OF a
great deal Of legislation looking to
the material welfare Of the masses,
and recognising in greater measure
their political rights. The program
Of tho administration has been pro-
sressive one. and attention has been
paid in 1t to the demands of the so

Laura wondered curiously what
kind of u girl she might be. She was
not bothered much with donors Of
candy and such trivialities. having 4

and lacking all Of the arts Of coquct-

eyes, anyway, and she didn't like the
long, high bridged nose. nor the
coarse reddish brown hair that could
be seen under the unbecoming visored
cap. Such man needed to give plen-
ty of candy, she decided. No girl

Max. N. d.. Oct. 30.--Two weeks
ago when the A. A. Zethren store was
burglarized and the safe robbed
about $4,000 in notes were stolen.
Mr.. Zethren found them under an old
engine near the store. They had been
placed there much more recently than
the robbery and evidently after they
had been carefully scrutinixed by the
thieves and found not to be negoti
able. II is now suspected the burglars
were local people.
