Thine is to trust in heaven.

This question of the ages. so touch ingly voiced by Felicia Hemans, finds an echo in every heart that has knelt dead
 It is a question that was not born of any special time, race or creed, but in the morning of the world, when the tears of the first mother fell on the pallid face of her lifeless babe"
 l have seen it uppermost in the mind of little untutored, three-Year- old child. She had never looked on the placid features of the dead. nor had her life been shadowed by the fear of that which she could not, in any manner comprehend: but she had learned in her associations with other children that all in time must die; hence she asked continually: Where do We go when we die?" and that old CT question. If man die. shall he live again."
 To these age-long questions there is no answer except through the wis dom of the past and communion with the still small voice of God that dwells in every human heart. That spirit of love and trust within us can only be awakened, developed and brought to the surface in this age of the world by much devotion, suffering and sacrifice. Those who have mounted the heights by this thOrnY path will the seeds of the future life, as did Victor Hugo
 In his old age this great and good man. one of the many sent us of God during the luminous years of the nineteenth century, said: T am like a forest once cut down; the new ever. I am rising, I know, toward the skies Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart
 The tomb is not blind alley; it is
 Tt closes on the twilight, it opens on the dawn. -Theophrastus.

While we-most all of us-are ut tering complaints because of the bad condition of Polk county roads, Arkansas papers are full of stories of actual organization work to pro- mote good highways It is well enough to keep in mind that the good roads movement is not one that will run over us. It just won't move unless pushed-and it's up to us to do the pushing.

 Gl1tfe tbe Gbeckbook

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Having been told for ten years that his wife knew more about business than he did, the man final ly came to the conclusion that pos Slbly she did, 50 he transferred the management of the family eXcheq- uer to her hands.
 She was jubilant. She remained jubilant for a week; then late one afternoon she met him at the of flee for a downtown dinner. They had a good dinner and she thor oughly enjoyed it, until he pushed the check for it over to her.
 What is that for?" she asked.
 For you to pay he said.
 Well, hardly" she returned warmly. You pay it yourself"
 T haven't anything to pay it with he insisted. You're the cashier. You've undertaken to show me how to keep expenses down, and naturally you'll find it no trick at all to pay your bills. When l was making you an allow ance for your incidental expenses. as you are doing with me now. never expected you to pay for din- ners you took with me, did I?"
 She paid. She felt that she was being cheated in some way, but she paid, and then she suggested. sar- castically, that she supposed he would expect her to pay for the theater tickets, too.
 Certainly" he replied.
 Well, then, We won't go," she retorted.
 Just as you say" he returned pleasantly. You're the financial manager.
 The ride home was not especially enjoyable, although he seemed to be in excellent humor. She was in- clined to be moros, and she had not entirely recovered her equanimity when he reached home the follow ing evening.
 "A bill for dozen shirts came today she said. T don't see why they addressed it to me"
 T charged them to you" he ex- plained. I'm not running any ac- counts these days, you know. Did you pay it?"
 No, l didn't, and I won't"
 'nD N-A1l'H hoffau
 Well, I won't" she answered, decisively. How do you suppose I am going to save money if I have to keep paying it out like this?"
 How do you suppose I could save money when l had to pay it out like this? That's what I've al- ways had to do."
 Well it isn't fair for me to have to pay it." she said. But she paid the bill, although she did it under protest.
 Then one night they were caught out in the rain, and she had to pay for the taxi that brought them home. She remarked bitterly that money just seemed to melt away. She expected sympathy but she did not get it, for that brute of a man merely observed that he had had somewhat that same experi- ence with it. when he was handling the cash.
 After that she paid the bills for two morning papers that he took. for cleaning and pressing a suit of clothes, for a new hat. for four neckties and for two pairs of shoes that she thOughtlessly asked hin

Ill time she began to brood over these matters. It seemed to her that he was always asking for money in trifling amounts to pay for things that she had never bothered with before, or else was bringing bills home.
 And somehow, in some ways. he did not seem to be as attentive as he had been formerly. So it hap pened that one night he found her on the verge of tears.
 You used to bring me home flowers occasionally" she said, but now
 Why, my dear" he protested. I didn't know you wanted any flowers"
 You know I always like flowers, B she said. I'm extremely fond of them, and-and you've never for gotten that before"
 But you didn't give me any money to get them with" he ex plained, and didn't feel like charging them to you"
 For a minute there was doubt as to whether it would be tears or flashing eyes. Then she went over to her little desk, picked up Inc checkbook and threw it on thc flC pr at his feet,
 ? Take your old checkbook," she said. q don't want to have any thing to do with it. I don't want to manage anything"
 Except me-" he put in. ar
 And the next night he brought her home a fine large bouquet of roses.

TREsPAssER IS ARRESTED,
White Boy Charged With Boarding
Freight Train Dismissed With
Admonition

Every evening, while the work Of
returning freight trains from Union
street to the Southern Railway yards
is in progress dozens of boys of all
ages board the cars and occasion con-
siderable annoyance to the crews
and endanger their own lives by
hanging on to the sides of cars or
riding on the bumpers. The pilots of
the locomotives are often packed with
thoughtless youths.
| Yesterday evening Officer Miller
took charge of boy who had board
ed train and conducted him Ito the
station house. About two hours la
ter his father appeared and left col,
| lateral for his appearance this morn
ing before the Police Court.
The boy made no defense to the
charge urged by the officer, and the
court dismissed the accused with
warning to him and others to the eff
feet that if the dangerous practice
is continued and the trespassers ar
rested the law will be enforced.
A fine of from $500 to $4,000
could be imposed upon persons tres
passing upon railway property. Thu

ORDINANCE IS APPROVED.
Imposes Special County Taxes Upon
Automobiles of the District of
Columbia

Circuit Court Judge j. B. Thornton,
Of the Sixteenth Judicial District, OF
Virginia, yesterday announced MS
aproval of the ordinance recently
passed by the Board Of Supervisors
Ioc Alexandria County imposing spec
ial county taxes upon motorists OF
the National Capital, in addition to
the regular State automobile tax.
simultaneously with the announce
ment of the special tax came the
news that Governor Mann of Vlr-
ginia, had refused the request of the
Commissioners of Columbia for rec
/ iprocal relations between the District
and Virginia in the matter OF the
Issuance of automobile licenses. Gov
| Mann. in letter to Corporation
! Counsel E. H. Thomas, gave as his
reasons for refusing to grant the
request the disproportionate number
of Virginians who would be benefited
by such an action as compared with
the large number of District bene-
ficiaries. He stated that only about
fifty automombile owners of AleXan-
dria county would be benefited, while
$4,000 owners Of the District would
benefit if the request were granted.
Washingtonians admit there is rea-
son in Governor Mann's attitude, and
can find lille cause to censure him or
mot granting the request.
The automobile regulations of the
District of Columbia and Virginia
were the subject of discussions at a
meeting of the Alexandria Automo'
bile Association, held last night ir
the rooms of the Alexandria Cham
Der of Commerce.
i The question of urging the adop-
ton of provisions whereby Virglniar
automobiles might enter the Dis
trict without District licenses ant
vice versa was brought up, but nc
Giefnite action was taken.
