V Si 5 J? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Clipping from the State Journal, Sunday, October 29, 1911. The election of a County Treasurer is a business mat ter in which sentiment should play no part. During the next two years the Treasurer's office will handle nearly two million dollars. If your business was so large and you had in charge an experienced man who was giving you absolute satisfaction would you feel justified in trying a new man just to see what he would do? For the past two years I have been li Deputy County Treasurer and much of that time in charge of the office. I am willing to be judged at the polls by the record we have made. Over 95 per cent of the taxes have been collected, the amount of interest-bearing regist ered warrants has been almost wiped out and our books have balanced to a cent. If you want that kind of an ad ministration for the next two years I shall appreciate your support on November 7th. WM.

If you are a lover of children you will not fail to make glad the heart of your favorite little girl friend by giving her a dainty bag to carry her slippers in when she goes to dancing school. This vou can make from three-fourths of a Tard of a dark col ored silk and the same amount of a bright flowered satin or brocade for a lining. Cut the pieces the same size, fold over once, sew together and run a double casing around the top two inches from the edge. Ribbon is run through these cas ings, so the bag can be drawn up tight Sewed flat to the lining is a little patch pocket that has a flap which buttons over its opening. In it is a tiny hand mirror, so the little lady can arrange her curls before entering the room where the class is held. Another pocket contains a small pin book fitted out with various sizes and kinds of pins, not forget ting several small and a few large safety pins. In this pocket is a fold ing shoe buttoner and in a similar packet is a little purse where the child can safely carry her handker chief and the change for her fare. The slippers and fan are carried in the main portion of the bag. Such a bag would be acceptable and pleasing to any little girl who knows the joys of attending danc ing class.

Naturalists generally appear to have accepted the opinion that ants are not able to perceive any sounds that are audible to human ears, but there are those who controvert this opinion. One investigator conduct ed careful experiments with four spe cies of American ants, from which he deduced the conclusion that these species, at least were able to per ceive sounds, but whether they did it by means of organs of hearing, or through the sense of touch being ex cited by atmospheric vibrations, he was unable to ascertain. This ex perimenter inclines to the opinion that ants do really hear, as some in dividuals showed a perception of the direction of the sound, such as that of a shrill whistle, and others, which were not disturbed and violently shaken in their glass prisons, seemed greatly to be perturbed by shrill sounds. Harper's Weekly. THE REASON. Senator Rayner, the wit of the senate, told at a dinner in Balti more a story of the South. "A northerner," he said, "was surprised, during a southern tour, by the number of Taliaf erros he found everywhere. Doctors, lawyers, under takers, clothiers all seemed to be Taliaferro. The northerner put up in nearjy every town at a Hotel Taliaferro, and, if he wanted a cigar, a Taliaferro sold it to him. He couldn't understand it at all till one day, motoring through - a splendid country, he saw a tremen dous mill that bore in vast letters the inscription, Taliaferro Manufactur ing company.'

The Suit Ag DRESS IN ITALIAN SENATE. Considerable excitement was caused in the Italian senate the other day, writes a correspondent, by one of the ministers, the under secretary for the interior, Signor Falcioni, en tering the sacred precincts dressed in a fancy" pattern morning coat in stead of the black frock coat which is de rigeur. Several senators on seeing him take his seat on the gov ernment bench walked out as a mark of protest. Later when he arose to make a speech the opposition to his doing so in his unusual attire was so strong that Signor Falcioni left the senate chamber, returning in a minute in the frock coat of an usher, lent him for the occasion. On his reappearance he was loudly cheered. LOVE-MAKING STYLES CHANGE They were discussing the Green- hagen case in a Brooklyn trolley car. He was a sturdy German and his companion was evidently his wife. I hope the little girl don t die from the poisoned candy," said the wom an. "Where did she get it?" asked the man. "This paper says it was gift candy." "She knew it was gift and took it she can't get my sym pathy," said the man; and his wife, better versed in English than he, had to explain that "gift," which is poi Kn in German, has a different mean ing in the vernacular.

THE CENTRAL National Bank of Lincoln is CAPITAL $150,000.00 Swpims mmi Uefiridei Pn6u $50,000 - Today the Flowery Sentiment of Old- Time Plays Is Considered Mere ly Melodramatic When a successful play of 25 or 30 years ago is revived critics inva riably hasten to point out how the atrical and "old-fashioned" dra matic fare used to be in the last gen eration. And, in a sense, the criti cism is quite justified. The senti ment of a former day cloys; the heroics only amuse us. Even so ex pert a workman as Sardou feels the changes of" time. His set scenes rage, denunciation, jealousy, terror are nowadavs dismissed as melodra matic. Actually, the difference ia one of manner and not of essence. We are quite as fond of melodrama today as people were 30 years ago, if by melodrama one means impos sible human beings acting in an im possible way. And, if anything, we are more sentimental today than the Victorians were. Only, once upon a time sentiment voiced itself in nice ly turned and nicely balanced sen tences succeeding each other in ora torical form. Today even sentiment has a lot of "go" to it. On the stage, as in the magazines, today the broad shouldered young man who addresses spasmodic half sentences to the only woman in the world is as popular and as offensive as the heroes were in the age of vapors and antimacassars.
