Men will come and men will 90,

and mine the unit Of time has
been well established. The re-
public has grown and prospered
under it. The old time should be

By Mr.. King, Of nlinois-After
quoting from "Gray's "Elegy:" It
is the habit of the farmer under
this law to rise 50 early that he is
the one who rouses the swallow
from the straw stack, sounds all
the horns and clarions, punches
the poultry from its perch, and
kicks the sleepy rooster in the
stats long before Miss Incense
Breathing Morn arrives on the
premises. +" Let US at once re-
peal this freak legislation and let
it at once take the place in the

Those 2-Cent Transfers.

Five letters in the mail this morn
ing enclosing transfers issued by
both railway lines which could not
be used by purchasers because cars
were not available. Paying for the
transfers, and then finding cars tied
up, the purchasers were compelled
to use their legs for considerable dis
tances.
All the writer's, as many before
them, assert that transfers should
not be paid for until passengers
board the cars to which they wish
to end their journeys. If cars are
tied up the passenger should not be
compelled to pay money for some
thing he does not get.
A legal test Of this transfer
proposition is about to be started in
the courts by HENRY E. DAVIS,
acting for the Kenilworth Citizens
Association and various other organ
izations which believe transfers are
discriminatory and that the Utill-
ties Commission had no power to di-
rect their issue, as at present.
BILLY HENSHAW, Of the Crown
Lunch, had some peculiar expert
ences with transfers, q short trip
from Clifton and Fourteenth streets
to Georgetown costing him II cents,
besides irritating delays In making
an appointment with his physician.
Mrs SARAH V. FARLING Is an
other who has had unpleasant ex-
periences.
All declare that they do not get
much satisfaction out Of complaints
to either the railway companies or
the Utilities Commission.
Several people have purchased
transfers from the F street cars to
Fourteenth street cars at Fourteenth
and H and had the transfers turned
down on the ground that this Is not
a transfer point.
Would it not be wise for the U1h-
ties Commission to make it q trans
fer point?

By Mr.. Campbell, Of Kansas
Our contract with the old rooster
is that he should begin Growing at

unfair to him to have him start at

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:

l would ask you for advice. I am
a widow with three children and
would like to know II I could get a
place as housekeeper for some lone
some widower I have no home of
my own and 1t is so hard to try to
make a living and take care Of my
children. I have had several
chances to get married, but I have
not found the right party. So I
would like to see If I could get a
place out on a farm before Septem-
Der I, so can send my children to
school. love country life and I like
farm work. WORRIED.
There are many farmers who
need housekeepers and I might be
able to help you If you had fur
nished me with your name and ad-
dress. 1t is q waste of your time
and mine to send in such letters as
these without enclosing name and
address.
South Dakota Girl most Ger
tainly could not advise girl Of IS
to run away. If you think life Is
hard at home, just remember that
it would be much harder and more
dangerous away from home. Be-
tween now and your 18th birthday
try to fit yourself for some remuner-
alive work. Life is dull for the I'M
educated and any little girl who
leaves home at Is is running into
self-made sorrow. Spend the next
three years in concentration and
education. The trained mind can
solve very difficult problems. Your
letter indicates that while your
story may have good thought, your
technique would be SO faulty that
no publisher would accept 1t. Those
who advise you to send it in know
nothing Of the market.

TROUBLED.
II you are still at the merry-go-
round stage, you are not entitled to
sentimental problems. I'll answer
your question. however. assuming
that you have at least reached the
ripe old age of IS, and were merely
going down to the merry-go-round
to enjoy some Of the classical music
usually rendered at such places.
This seems to be misunder-
stnding about the hour when the
young man was to call. You did
not 90 WTUHS ulllSSS yOu lldo Icd-
son to believe he intended to come
in the evening, in which case you
should have remained at home to
receive him. Since there is a pos
sibility you were in the wrong, it
would be all right for you to men
ton the matter to him at some con-
venient moment, saying you were
at home during the day, expecting
him to call, and asking If 1t had
been his intention to come in the
evening. This will give him an op-
portunity to explain, and you can
judge from what he says whether
or not he was properly considerate
of you. There are bashful people,
especially among the youthful in
years. but bashfulness is not an ex-
cuse for peevishness, which springs
from a bad disposition, or stupidity,
which Is a tragic handicap.

By A. K.

She was flattered
When he held
His loved one
In his strong arms
i And gazed into
The proverbial "blue lakes
Brushed back the ringletts
From her beautiful
Pink and white face
And sighed:
THE greatest work
Of the Almighty"
She believed him.
And she thrived
On pretty compliments
Alighting here and there
First on the highly curved
Arches
Then the lovely
Tapering fingers
Pink-tipped and soft.
As the dream-girl
Wended her way
To the marriage altar
On the arm
OF her paternal
Parent
Visions of Paradise
Floated before her
Blue lakes"
Time races madly
And takes with it
The bloom of Youth.
Then the matron
Begged for the truth.
She longed to know
- The truth
The real truth
Nothing but the truth
Hoping that
The big strong mans eyes
Still saw only beauty.
But he continued
To flatter
Until she demanded
The truth
And GOT it.
Cruelty charged
Divorce granted.
