Automobile in the Home.

the Douglas county district court has opened up
a new field in household relations. Perhaps
this is but the orderly march of progress, de-
noting another step in the slowly unfolding
process of evolution that Is gradually bringing
man TO perfection. In the beginning that word
compel had no part in the comfy Of husband
and wife; but change has come over this as
other things until the husband may expect
while the wife may compel. And II is note
worthy. too that the ever-lengthenlng list of

sented in its present aspect. Until the court
shall have held that Il lie cruelty for husband

The Road to May

When we we're young In Eden,
Remember how we'd stray
From out the April shadows
Into the sun OF Mayy
Well, every year the Eden
That love knew comes again,
When May walks down the morning
TO kiss the lips Of men.
The argosies have vanished
That pluwed the Aegean deep
But still upon the Nilus
The oars OF cupid sweep
The barge of Cleopatra
Along It's pristine way
Through dead Egyptian gardens
Unto the morn Of May
All things awake aHd tremble,
The lark on viewess wing
Takes Up to Gods blue heaven
The love that helps him sing;
And we are young In Eden
As we were yesterday
When through the clouds OF April
We found the road to May.
