.Today Bonus V etoe d, Odds Drop. William 5 u n d ay Will Get Well. Col. H a y if a r d or Dr. Butler. Rat Bites a Baby. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ President Coolidge lias vetoed the soldiers’ bonus bill. Wall street be lieve that President Coolidge would veto it and is glad k is vetoed, for Wall street doesn’t like the idea of more taxes. Wall street also has common sense and knows that the veto will cost the president hun dreds of thousands of votes. That is why Wall street is betting on Cool klge less enthusiastically than a week ago. The odds have dropped to five to three. Sick or well, Billy Sunday works in his own way, even quotes the Bible in his own way. On his way to the Mayo Brothers’ hospital he tells reporters “the Lord is my shepherd—I should worry.” The last three words may shock the orthodox, but Billy Sunday han a spirit that will get him out of the hospital arid back into the fighting ring. Dr. Butler of Columbia univer sity may be a candidate for the republican nomination as governor of New York. He undoubtedly will have to compete with Colonel Hay ward, wdth his splendid war record, and his effective work as federal district attorney in New York. If these two men fight for the nomination it will be interesting, since Dr. Butler is absolutely wet and Colonel Hayward absolutely dry. Another infant in its crib has been bitten by a rat. The nation and cities, if they would take the trouble, could combine to wipe out the rat nuisance or keep it down to nothing. Individual householders taking proper precautions, could protect their own homes. Failing that, they could scatter around the baby’s crib plenty of food containing calories to keep the rat happy, including a little raw meat. • A little north of the White House, where foreign ambassadors dwell, the Church of Jesus, Church of l.atter Day Saints, generally known as the Mormon church, will build a church. This republic knows little about the Mormon church, that its great energy and courage conquered ihe desert, the unknown west and its early hardships, and that the church has abandoned polygamy, | which its early fathers thought j necessary—perhaps because of the necessity of quickly increasing pop ulation? It has given up polygamy. The Mormon church has not changed j more than some other churches of modern times. Many have given up belief in the devil, once consid- i ered a necessary stimulant. Others' have given up belief in miracles and i others still calling themselves Chris-! tians, have given'up the idea that; the Founder of Christianity was anything more than a mere man like themselves. Religion sometimes reminds you of the shell of a 7-year-old locust, • which looks very much like a locust, although the lecust isn't in it any more. Germany bows politely to Russia, accepting the inevitablPj and sus pends the public official that of fended Russian dignity. Germany is wise. With the whole of western Europe trying to cut her throat, it would be foolWh to pick a quurrel with the big bear on the east. Two young ladies, otherwise charming, appeared on Atlantic City’s boardwalk yesterday, each wearing a diamond bracelet on her ankle. The anklets sparkled, spec tators gazed, and the young women were happy. That advertise* At lantic City, gives conversation to otherwise empty minds, and it’s better than sticking a piece of bone in your lower lip or cutting scars in your cheek, *s some other savage women do. (Copyright, 1124 ) Adele Garrison 4iMy Husband's Love” v____> A Tense Moment Between Edith Fair fax and Madge. Edith Fairfax stared at me, wide eyed, at my answer to her scathing comment upon Bess Dean* trea. ment of Della, while her face whit ened till I feared she might faint. Then a painful srarlet flush rushed to her cheeks, and her lips parted as if words were coming from them. But. for the minute, evidently, speech was beyond her, and I spoke quickly, contritely, but with painful awkwardness, for after a flashing of naked sword-blades, such ns we had just exchanged, any sort of adjust ment was exceedingly difficult. "Forgive me, Edith," I said. "The words came almost without my knowledge, and—1—meant—no—per sonal—application." She was fighting for control, and after another second nr two she achieved it in superb fashion. Her slender figure straightened, tensed itself like an arrow waiting to he released from a bow, anil her hesd went up bravely, while her eyes razed steadily Into mine. " But—there—must—be—one," she said. "It Is something I have wanted to say to you a long tlme,__for It has been a weight on my heart. Tell me. niy—folly—never caused any serious ‘rift,’ as you call it, between >011 and Dicky, did It'.'" There was nothing save sincerity and contrition in her voice and eyes, vet for an Instant a mean little sus picion stirred deep within tny heart. Had she, perhaps, rf»lzed this ■ ham-e to 11 nil out the true slste of things between Dicky and me? And ...IS II possible that she would he 1 -ally glad when she heard the trutli us 1 felt it? I always shall tie glad that I 1 . ushed hack the carping thought, end spoke heartily, sincerely. From a Full llparl. "There never has been any bitter 1 Pit tii'il promptly. "If Bess Heart ness between us because of you," 1 assured tier, adding honestly: "It would be silly for us to pretend that you did not hurt me cruelly at one lime, or, on the other band, for me to blink at the fact that once you did give Dicky a better, truer faith in him than I did. But those things are long past, buried by time. Why resurrect them?" Into her face flashed a took of such relief that 1 realized my suspicion had been absolutely without foundation. "I am so glad,” she said. "You are right, I donft ever want to speak of that time again, but *'to think"—her words came diajolntedly now, and 1 saw that she was struggling to re press some strong emotion—"1 have always felt that retribution would come to me sometime, but 1 wouldn’t have cared for myself—Oh I why should it be Bella who has to suffer?'’ I knew that she w'as intensely emo tional and a bit superstitious under the worldly mask which she. had drawn over her real self, but her broken speech was a revelation. Her love for Dicky must have been a more serious thing even than I had thought, to have so striking an effect upon her memory and conscience. I recognized, too, a touch of hysteria in her voice, and going up to her, took her firmly by the shoulders. "This Is nonsense. Edith." I said, sternly, "and you can be of no help to Bella if you don't pull yourself to gether. There is something l wish to tell you about Bess Dean before 1 go, and this is . my only oppor tunity.'' "It Ought to Work.” I turned away from her as I spoke and walked to the window, that ahe might have a chance lo get back her self-control. It was but a minute be fore she said, calmly, strongly: "Thank you, Madge. I am all right now. But you know that anything which touches Beila adversely simply sets me frantic.” "I know,” I sail! comprehendingly, "and l am so glad you have come to her. She needs someone of her own kin with her until--" She interrupted me quickly. "I shall not leave her again." she said, "until everything is all right. Now. tell me. what can I do about this Dean person?" "Stand between Bella and her," I. conies to the house, always have some excuse ready so that Leila does net need to see her. I'll back you upon being able to——" I paused, and Edith, with a grim little chuckle, finished my sentence: "Hand out the icy mitt with perfect courtesy?" ahe queried. "Well! I can try my best!" "You won’t have to very long," 1 said confidently. "I'm going to make it a point to see Bess Bean very soon, and tell her this.” I lowered my voice and outlined to Leila Durkee's sister the plan I had conceived for making my former col league more careful. She listened attentively, and when I had finished, set her lips In a thin little line. "It ought to work," she said. "Blit if it doesn’t, I'm Jit'ill on the (oh, and she annoys Leila only over my corpse” Still Found on Tijt. Pawnee City.

Brownville was founded in 1853 and named after the first settler, a man named Brown. The powpr line represents an ex penditure of about $25,000, and will transmit current from Auburn, Neb., to l'arklo, Mo., across the river from here. Nemaha will be hooked on and lighted. A high steel tower Is being erected on a high bluff near the Mis -torn! river here, and another will be built on the Missouri side, and from these the wires will be swung across the river, a distance of slightly over one half mile.
