But we know across the river

Sister, when the violets open,
When the trees in beauty wave,

that Henrietta Hen forgot all abou:
him before she had crossed the farm
yard. She fell into loud dispute
with a neighbor. And she never
thought of Grunty again.
Grunty Pig enjoyed his ramble
into the field of waving corn. The
corn was sweet; and the dirt was
loose-just the finest sort of root in
that body could possibly want. He
had the place all to himself until at
last a black gentleman came flying
up in a great hurry and ordered him
in hoarse voice to get out OF the
corn-and be quick about it!'
On him Grunty Pig tried the same
trick that he had used on Henrietta
Hen. He looked up with a stupid
stare at the newcomer and said never
word.
Old Mr.. Crow-for it was he that
had commanded Grunty to leave
old Mr.. Grow abused him roundly.
Mr.. Crow was not empty-headed, like
Henrietta Hen. He was not to be
deceived so easily.
why don't you answer me?" he
bawled. "You make noise enough
when you're at home. I've heard
you often, way across the cornheld." "
Mr.. Grow cawed so angrily that
a dozen of his cronies flew over from
the woods to see what was going Oh.
And the, whole l3 made such an
uproar that Farmer Green couldn't
help noticing them He and john
ME were in the orchard, hunting for
Grunty Pig.

chief" Farmer Green declared. You

your mind very far back to cali to
memory a number of things you
have done which, if they had been
found out in a way to gain news
paper notoriety, would not look any
better in print than these stories
of your friend.
Then why persecute the person
more than has been done already?
Why not do some nice thing
some small courtesy-to show your
good will?
You need not act if you approved
of wrongdoing-far from it.
But a kind word, handshake,
to show that you, too, are human,
may be the means of sincere efforte
at reform which would be lost 9TH

Lincoln. Aug ll.-(Special) y
Gov. s. R. McKelvie will sail out OF
office with $l,333,293.78 reserve
fund in the state treasury to his
credit il he succeeds in sitting pat
and winning in his controversy with
the university regents and normal
school boards over setting aside III
per cent of certain OF their approprla-
tions as reserve fund.
Figures compiled today from books
in the Office of Phil Bross, secretary
of finance and revenue. show that.
with the 10 per cent Of the university
and normal appropriations included,
the reserve fund at the end OF the
biennium will equal the above
amount.
The amount available for the bien-
mum and the amount OF reserve
which the governor is attempting to
keep on hand follow:

In his attempt to keep these re-
serves in the treasury and thus avoid
the necessity of voting hundreds of
thousands Of dollars by the legisla-
ture for deficiency appropriations,
which has aroused the ire of Ne
braska taxpayers since time imme-
morable, Governor McKelvie is faced
with a fight in courts threatened by
P. L. Hall, chairman of the univer-
sity regents, who objects to the plan
so far as it concerns salaries OF uni
versity teachers.
The plan under which Governor
McKelvive is operating in compliance
with a law passed by the last legis-
lature is to force all institutions to
outline in advance their estimated ex-
penditures for each quarter and sub
NIT them to the governor.
The governor may approve or
disapprove the estimates and at the
same time. in compliance with the
law, force heads of departments to
set aside 10 per cent on certain spe-
cifc appropriations for emergencies.
Unless emergencies arise and this
money must be spent the 81 ,333,293.78
will be in the state treasury when
Governor McKelvie steps out of Of
hce.
An effert to iron out the trouble
between the governor and university
regents outside of court is being
made by the former, who suggested
a series of conferences at his Office
Nor that purpose. The first of these
conferences will be held next Mon
day.

don't suppose-do you?-that they're
teasing that pig?"
Well, Johnnie Green was willing
to 60 and find out. And sure enough!
he found Grunty in the cornheld.
Johnnie Green picked him up.
tucked him under his arm-plastered
with dried mud as he was-and
brought him in triumph to the barn.
Farmer Green laughed when he
saw Grunty Pig.
"He looks as if he had been enjoy
ing himself" he remarked as he
dropped Grunty into the pen with the
rest of Mrs. Pigs children.
Are you going to feed him"
Johnnie Green inquired.
"Now he replied. That pig has
stuffed himself so full that he can
scarcely waddle."
As for Mrs. Pig, she didn't know
whether to laugh or to weep. She
was glad to have Grunty safe at
home again; but he was sad sight.
At first Mrs. Pig thought Farmer
Green had made a mistake. She
thought he had fou..d somebody
else's child. For Grunty was SO
daubed with black mud that she ac-
tually didn't know him until she
heard him grunt.
"Where have you been?" she asked
him in her sternest voice.
"I've been out in the world" he
answered. "And I've had fine time.
"It's easy to see" said Mrs. Pig,
"that you're born wallower. It's a
pity that you haven't your brother
Blackie's all dark complexion. The
dirt does show so dreadfully on sill
yer markings"
