GRATING COUNTY OFFICERS.

Over in Washington county Frank Smith has been
county clerk for eighteen years. and during that time his
books have practically had outside audit Very recent
~ the county commissioners employed auditor to go
over all the county books and in his first report he
covers fee grabbing scheme that the county clerk has
apparently worked for years. He predicts that Mr.
Smith shortage will into the thousands The blame
for this condition rests directly the shoulders OF the
county commissioners 1t should be their duty, and
they should attend to that duty to that outside
auditor goes through the books of each county officer at
least every two years In Blaine county the Shoshone
Journal has openly charged that county officers get
commission rakeof all printing they have done at
certain shops outside the county, and county officer
has yet sued the Journal for libel In Emore county
the board of commissioners and the majority have been
democratic for the past twelve years. and during that
time, so far can learn, there has been COM
prehensve audit of the county finances made For their
own protection county officers should demand Of the
mssioners that such audit be made and should lend
every facility to the auditor the commissioners select that
his audit be full and complete and beyond question by
the people of the county
OF course there suspicion that there is anything
wrong with the books of any county officer in Elmore
county, that any Of them have gotten rakeoff on
any purchases they have made but they should protect
that their records be O. Ked by some auditor Of
Improbable reputation.

An Awkward Meeting.
CHA DTEtR IXXH


Donald and Nellie strolled slowly
up the avenue, stopping to look into
the windows wherever the curtains
did not shut out their view OF the
display. when they reached the
park, Donald proposed they sit on
one of tho benches and rest before
returning.
Donald talked sayly for half an
hour. telling Nellie OF his
aspirations. that he had written a
story that had been accepted by a
popular magazine, and Of others had
in mind.
How wonderful" she breathed.
"You won't be- an editor now, viii
your You'll be an author.
"Oh, I don't know about that.
Selling one story means nothing. l
have had dozens returned"
But perhaps you didn't send
them to the right people" Nellie
replied. She thought 1t wonderful
TO be able TO put ones thoughts into
words, 10 write and sell stories. But
we must go back. I promised Mrs.
Roberts to come in a few moments
before went TO bed"
Unwillingly, Donald rose and they
walked slowly down past the brill
liantly lighted entrance of the Plaza
hotel.
Down the steps came George Fal-
lon and another man. The former
stopped abruptly, raised his hat, his
face unsmlling, then stepped into a
motor. followed by his companion.
Nellie felt the blood rush to her
face. Oh. why had she left the
house? There had been something
in Fallon's unsmiling look that
drained all happiness from her; that
made her feel he might think she
had deceived him; that there was
something between her and Donald
Horne.
There was no reason she should
feel ashamed of Donald. He was tall,
straight, neatly dressed. Yet she al
most hated him as they walked side
by side down the avenue, all her
vivacity gone: her desire 10 look at
pretty things" forgotten. When
| Donald spoke of II, she answered
impatiently:
I'm tiredl I want to get home"
The next morning at breakfast the
acid faced woman remarked:
Did you have a pleasant walk
last night. Miss Riley?"
"No-Yes!" Nellie, who had
passed an almost sleepless night
snapped.
Love is a thing OF bliss. the poets
tell u.s." Miss Pitt smirked at Nellie
as she said 1t, then cast meaning
glance about the table.
~ should think. Miss Pitt. that Il
might depend a lot upon whether
that love was mutual. 1t might be
hell for one of the party, instead OF
| bliss"
"Oh, Miss Rileyi" Miss Pitt
| breathed i'm a shocked tone.
miss Riley is right, Miss Pitt,
Mrs. Roberts broke in. unless love is
a mutual affair it is not happiness
take II you are talking of love be-
tween men and women2"

BY Jane Phelps,

yes, although It is a subject I
seldom discuss"
zone needs to know about a thing
to talk about III" Nellie exclaimed in
her old impudent manner, a manner
she now seldom used; then rose from
the table and flounced oat of the
room, much TO Mrs. Roberts amuse-
ment. She had no patience with
Miss Pitt, and her old-maidish ways.
Mr.. Fallon said good morning" as
usual, but that was all. Save TO die
tate his letters. he made no CONVEX
sation with Nellie, hardly looked in
her direction all day. 1t was Satur-
day. On Monday she would take
Miss Jones place, occupy her desk,
SO near Mr.. Fallon's.
"Oh, why did he have to see me,
and what does he think7 / don't
dare say a word, but I'll bet he
thinks l lied about Donald" Nellie
soliloquised.
Her hat was on. she was about to
leave. when he said;
did you have a pleasant walk
last night?"
Yes. Mr.. Horne asked me to go
to n movie. but It was such a lovely
night / asked him to walk instead.
like TO look in the windows on the
avenue" She had spoken simply.

rs that the man that lives at
your boarding house?"
yes the newspaper man" Then
IL had promised to see Mrs. Roberts,
the old lady told you of, so couldn't
be out long"
Did his face brighten, look hap
pier. or was it her imagination He
said goodnight IN his old genial man
ner, making some remark about her
new duties which would begin on
Monday.
Even Miss Pitt could not annoy
Nellie at dinner. Nothing mattered
IL Mr.. George was not displeased
with her.

A CHRISTMAS WISH

I wish that were Santa Claus. ia come
around TO you,
And with my pack upon my back ia find
your chimney flue,
And with a smile upon my face I'd stand be-
hind your bed
And maybe laugh to hear you snors. un-
mindful OF my tread;
Then when I'd found the sock you wear ia
work my maRc there
Suppanting with some Joyous thing your
every bit OF care
l wouldn't give you neckaes gay or Jimcracks
made of gold,
l wouldn't give you anything which can be
bought and sold.
ia leave the glass tobacco Jars and ash trays
all behind
And give you strength for evry task; ia give
you peace OF mind.
No trifling thing OF brass or plate 20 mark
my love ia give,
But l would leave the richer Joys to cheer
you while you live
I'd make you glad to walk the street and
glad 10 greet the day;
II grief lies heavy on your heart I'd ltft II
all away.
ia touch your eyes with golden faith so you
would wake to see
The beauty of your bitter loss and why II
had 10 be.
And running over all the joys which l have
had from you,
You'd wake on Christmas morn to find your
tondest dream come true.
