Clean Up Spirit is

Omaha has taken to the cleanup idea
with unusual spirit, as evidenced by the
activity of thousands of young and old
people of the city during the last few
days. The finishing touches of the work
will be accomplished this week when
forty-eight wagons of the city street
cleaning department viii cover eighteen
districts and will haul away, without
charge, the heaps which have been places
in convenient places by the householders.
The cleanup work is divided between
the street and the health departments, the
latter taking care of unsanitary accumula-
tons which must be removed within o
specified time.
The city officials do not want to use
the word "must," in this connection, al
though there are instances when the Law
must be invoked. The officials want 10,
and they believe they are bringing the
people of the city into realization of the
importance of city beautiful and city
which is clean. 1t is pointed out that it
requires only little effort upon the part
of each family to bring out this desired
condition.

They hurried out to the automobile
and started of for the docks. The
latter part of their journey was &C
complished under difficulties. for the
street was packed with drays and
heavy vehicles. They reached dock
number twenty-eight at last, how
ever, and hurried through the shed
on to the wharf There were no signs
of a steamer there.
Where's the Durham" Quest
asked one of the carriers, who was just
getting his team together.
The man pointed out to the middle
of river, where a small steamer was
lying.
There she is" he replied. She'll
be off in a few minutes. You'll hear
the sirens directly when they begin
to move down."
Quest led the way quickly to the
edge OF the wharf. There was a
small tug there. the crew of which
were just making her fast for the
night.

up the anchor of the Durham and

screen of steamers beginning to
move on their outward way.

They were within hundred yards
of the Durham when Quest gave lit

of the steamer another tug shot out
away, turning back towards New
York. Huddled up in the stern, half
concealed in tarpaulin, was a man
in plain black suit. Quest, with a
little shout, recognized the man at
the helm from his long, brown beard.

As the only gold payer and receiver,
it is for New York to place its valu-
alton on all that the world wishes to
buy here or to sell here. Liberality
in estimating the promises of others is
the same thing as iberality in esti-
mating the worth of what is Ia
ken instead of gold, and that esti-
mating American promises affects the
prices of whatever we sell. Ameri-
cans must broaden their views as new
er before, and have an idea about for
eign politics and campaigns, unless
they are to be at disadvantage in

Trade Opportunities.

The only sure values in the w6rld
today are those for spot delivery,
either for gold or for goods, and espe-
cially for the goods necessary for ex-
istence. The rising prices signify the
premium upon spot deliveries. The
worlds markets cannot be unraveled
until all the credits of the world are
revalued, and in that New York will
play larger share than ever before.

which is so precious reserve in life.
Physicians are pretty well agreed
now that not a little of nervous ex-
haustion is really due to the failure of
men and women to tap their underly-

lives specifically on the first layer
alone. Perhaps, then the prize fight
may have its precious lesson, even for
those who condemn the practice, in
