herself. She took in sewing. paid the
rent promptly, and altogether seemed
to manage very we'll.
Things went smoothly and evenly in
her u%neventful life. Then ono day.
after a few hours illness. the one
great event Of her life came to her.
smoothing the wrinkles and much Of
the ugliness from her face. But even
in death her mouth had a downward
droop. Swiftly as dying had COM to
her, peaceful as it had left her, there
had doubtless been time for a heart
ache about the future of her child.
1t went without saying that nobody
wanted her. She had no relatives. as
far as was known. The neighbors
talked it over in low whispers in the
days and nights hat elapsed before
thought that it was the Christian duty
of one of the others to care for her.
Mrs. Haas thought that Mrs. Town
send was the n particularly design
ed by Providence to give the orphan a
home. as she had no children, while
Mrs. Townsend was equally sure that
the duty should be relegated to Mrs.
one more OF less would not matter.
The rest of the others paired of in
the same way. and each assured each
that she was the one to take the child

To their credit. no n mentioned
the orphan asylum in the adjoining
town: Such a thing, had Y hap;
pened before: probably never would
again. and the child was plainly a
n~eighborhood charge. On the day OF
the funeral mo decision had been ar.
rived at. The child had cried till she
was homelier than ever. And now, in
her hurriedly made black clothes. she
was grotesquely pathetic. Something
about her touched the warm heart OF
Mrs. Haas. Perhaps she contrastcd
her with her own little happy flock at
home. After they returned from the
cemetery she said impulsively: I'll
take her-for a while. anyway"
Mrs. Smith spoke up. That's it,"
she said. We'll all take turns with
her. We can each keep her Il few
weeks, and it won't be a burden to
none of u.s."
But the child would have no real
home" objected Mrs. Townsend.

rate" said Mrs. Haas.

Any of them was willing now, for
a time at least. to shelter the little
waif. The words of the simple SER

VISIT OF THE RAILROAD MEN.

The visit of President Gray, Of tho
Great Northern. and his associates,
while unexpected Just at this time, VAS
nevertheless pleasant and welcome.
The fact that even with the short no.
tice given there was such a large gath.
ering of the business men Of the city
at the Commercial club rooms to re-
ceive the visitors was evidence of the
interest which the people here took
in the visit. Most of the. officials are
we'll known in Grand Forks. and have
close personal friends here. Fol years
their business has thrown them into
touch with the business people Of the
city. and ii people have been pleas
cd to note the progress that some OF
these men have made from subordi.
nate positions up through the various
grades Of service, until now they stand
in the front rank in a railroad serv-
ice which is recognized as a highly
efficient one, and which has sent out
at different times from it's ranks some
Of the ablest men in the business to
take charge of other roads in other
parts of the country. President Gray
came to Grand Forks a stranger to
the city and its people. As he said
by birth. and he is comparatively new
in the northwest. In his brief address
and in his informal meeting with club
members after the dinner he made
an excellent impression, n it is to be
hoped that he carries away as pleas
ant impressions of Grand Forks and
its people as the Grand Forks folks
have of him.
As Mr.. Gray said. the railroad man.
agement and the people or the terri.
tory which it serves are thrown to-
gether and must face conditions in
which, if they are to succeed. they
must succeed together. The railroad
without a prosperous country to draw
from will not be able to pay dividends.
and the community canno prosper
without a we'll managed and prosper.
Gus railroad to afford 1t the con.
vcniences of transportation. The two
must work together. If one fails the
other cannot prosper.
Another feature Of Mr.. Gray's talk
which merits repetition was that re-
lating to what the needs are with ref.
erence to the proper development Of
the possibilities of our agricultural
life. Mr.. Gray's idea is that the back
to the farm slogan has been sounded
too loudly and too Unfortunately;
that it is a mistake to assume that all
the people of the cities ought TO move
onto the farms. whether they are fit
ted for farm life or not: and that the
true way to improve the conditions is
to aid in every way in the making of
farm life more attractive to those who
are now on the farms, and to their
children

Boston Transcript: Inventors that
tween, yet Roy ]. Meyers, a practical,
unlettered electrician, claims to make
the discovery that the elective current
which the civilized world is beginning
to use most extensively for light and
power. could be transformed from the
atmosphere without the aid Of moving
machines or batteries. The invention
was conceived while the man was a
prisoner for a minor offence in Ariz-
ona Miss Kate Barnard. commission
er Of charities and correction of Okla
homa, hearing Of Meyers invention
and Of his desire to have 1t patented,
appeared before the Arizona legisla-
ture to make an appeal in behalf of
the young convict. AS a result a spe-
cial bill was passed which granted
Meyers a months leave Of absence on
parole. He went unaccompanied to
Washington, flied his patent applica-
tons and returned to the p~enitentiary.
Since then he was Indefinitely paroled.
He went to Baltimore to work on
his invention. With him is w. E..
Chenet. who has been his assistant in
assembling and testing the machine,
and who says that he has bought Mey-
ers' patent rights for Germany.
"In u tests here this week." said
Mr.. Chenet, I'VE have proved beyond
doubt that the invention is practical
and that when finally brought to a
state Of perfection 1t will introduce a

s;ERNfANY,s TAXATION sTILD IN.
CREASING.

The Wal tax in Germany. which will
soon he levied upon all persons earn
ing a living in the empire. is regarded
with very i'll feeling by the populace,
and the resentment is certain to be felt
in the next elections there.
It is thought it will drive much NOV
able capital from Germany. but if so
It must 70 to Canada or some of the
Asiatio or African countries. for all
Europeans are now taxed to very
limit. and in the United States there
will be virtual contiscation Of much
property through taxation If unfortu-
nately we should strike any lengthy
period Of depression.
The war chest Of the German en-
pire, as the Julius Tower at Spandau
ts called, now contains gold to the
amount OF $50, 100000, nearly the
whole Of which was part Of the indem-
nifty paid to Germany by France at the
close Of the war Of 1s7o-1s71.
This being paid through taxation of
the French people is all to the good.

In proposed now to add to this war
fund reserve 33o.oo0.ooo in gold and
33o,0oo.o0o in silver. making a total
hoard Of 100000 900 to be kept on
hand for military contingencies.
These last $s0,0o0.000 have now to
be raised by taxation Of the German
people themselves. and that is quite
another matter than taxing the French
for var funds.
To raise this 100000 900. in addi-
ton to the money necessary to meet
increased current expenditures in the
navy, army and all other departments
of the government-to take it out of
circulation and store it in the vaults
of the tower at Spandau-cannot fail
to check. or at least limit. expansion

months.
Expenses of government in nearly
every country r growing In much
greater ratio than the wealth of the
masses of the people, and it certainly
seems that the danger line has been
reached in France, Great Britain, Ger
many and the United States.
The expenses of the federal govern
mcnt are said now to be three times
as much per capita as they were at
the beginning of the past century, and
the expenses Of the state, county and
municipal governments are far be-
yond those Of any past years in our
history.
