What do you think of the de mocratic slogan in Nebraska, “Don’t rock the boat”? The meaning of it is “stand pat.” Abuse the republicans, coddle the progressives, let local issues se verely alone and shout for the na tional administration with both lungs. The people of Nebraska are too intelligent to swallow that sort of a thing. They want to know what there is the charges preferred against the state admini stration by George Berge, and why, if the Wilson progressive program is the best thing for the people, it met with opposition at every turn of the road from Sena Gilbert M. Hitchcock who was en dorsed with vociferous (hie) hur rahs by the democrats in state convention at Columbus.—Bix in Stite Journal. • w .. lesy. L«uiy (at piano;— They say you love good muuc.'

Eyes were drawn to eyes, and during the long dinner nei ther saw but one face In that crowded room. She saw the head of a god, hair tinged with gray, delicate po etic hands, a sen sitive mouth and eyes that looked a world of sorrow and understand ing. He was a man, old, soul seared, satisfied. But the girl was too young in life to read signposts. lie saw a young girl with innocent blue eyes, a full, rosy mouth that suggested kisses, cheeks red with a reuness that has recently come from the country. She was fresh, full qf light and laughter, curiosity and ex pectation. The man read her with the understanding of the expert in human nature. When she passed from the grill room her eyes went to his and she smiled as a chllo smiles at some new and as yet unencountered pleasure. And he looked after her as a connois seur in human weaknesses who has chanced upon a new toy. Such was their meeting. The young girl spoke to her chape ron about the man with the godlike head The chaperon told her that she must never mention his name, that she must not know that sort of a man. The next morning the girl came Into the chaperon's rooms noiselessly. The chaperon was at the telephone. "Oh, splendid. Jack! I’ve wanted to meet Owen Marsh ever since 1 read that exquisite pcem of his, The Lov ers of Lara.’ Bring him to tea at four and I’ll asl: some congenial people. Until four cood-by!" The girl slipped out of the rooms as quietly as she had come in. She couldn’t bear to meet the eyes of her chaperon just then. Owen Marsh was the man with the godlike head! A little later she returned to her chaperon, to await announcement of the afternoon tea. None came. In stead, that gracious lady turned to her: “Child, Madam Manette telephoned that she would like you to take your lesson at four today, instead of two. Estelle will call for you at five and take you for a chocolate.” The girl made no reply. Her mind was in a whirl. But about 5:30 that afternoon, as Owen Marsh was whis pering insinuatingly lute the chape ron's delicate pink ear. a slip of a girl entered the rooms. She walked direct ly to her chaperon, but without look ing at her. Her eyes were on the man with the godlike head. The chaperon forgot herself. “1 thought you were driving in the park,” she said sternly. “Estelle told me you were having a tea.” still looking straight at the face that had so thrilled her, “and I didn’t want to miss—him.” The girl dropped Into the chair at the elbow of the man with the won derful face. And there waa nothing for the chaperon to do but—Introduce them. Some one called her away then, and the man and the girl were left alone. In all that roomful of people neither saw any other. It seemed to each that they had waited long for this moment They made the most of it. "They couldn't keep us apart,” the girl said. “I have known you always,” said the man. “I love you,” said the girL “I’ve always loved you," said the man. And then some one Intruded, some one that could not be escaped. "I’ll meet you under the roses in the corridor," whispered the man. Before the guests had all taken their leave the girl slipped away. When the man left the chaperon’s room he found the girl—waiting—un der the roses. He lifted hv into the taxi and they drove far out into the country to a litle inn, where a room always “waited” for the man. He named her the Blush of Dawn •md called himself the Valley of the Shadow, lie was a poet; she was an ingenue. One night of Inspiration was Ms. A night that shattered every il lusion was hers. Then he told her that in the Valley of the Shadow men live —alone. He went back to his lair with one more sensation livening hla sluggish blood. It was on such mo ments that he lived. She went into the street, for ths chaperon waa a foolish woman; she closed the door against her. It wan ror this that the girl had grown up over night. The man boasted of his conquest. He was a—poet Some men turned heir backs upon him. Others took up .he scent laid bare. Women read the poem the girl had Inspired, and naked he poet to dinner. The chaperon lent him a silly note, swearing undy ng devotion. The girl’s aunt invited ;im to give lectures on BJornaen and .'been in her home of mornings.

ARTHUR After I bad been admitted to the bar, my father considering It best that 1 should nave the opportunity of gaining experience in a large city be fore entering bis own office, I went west, where I became associated with a law firm, the head of which was an old college friend of father's. Mr. Marsden impressed me at first as my beau Ideal of a man; while Mrs. Marsden was one of those ma tronly ladies, with a certain old-world courtliness of manner, sweet and en dearing. There was a son, named Fred, about two years older than I, who appeared to be a Jolly good fel low. “Lilian," said Mrs. Marsden, as a young lady entered the room, “this is Mr. D%nald Fairchild. My daughter, Donald." Miss Marsden and I shook hands. “This Is Lilian's twentieth birth day,” Mrs. Marsden observed, evident ly for the purpose of relieving my em barrassment “She Is our only daugh ter, Mr. Fairchild.' “I am sure. Miss Marsden,’’ I said, finding my tongue at last, “I wish you many very happy returns of your birthday." It would be impossible to convey any adequate Idea of the unalloyed delight of my first few days in the city. At the end of a week I had ac complished three things: I had se cured nice room for my private quar ters; been assigned a place In the offices of the firm, to which I was ad mitted aB a junior partner, and fallen head over ears In love. Mr. and Mrs. Marsden must have known how things were going, but the knowledge appeared to cause them no uneasiness. I had been here about six months, when I was entrusted with a commission that took me to Massa chusetts—which, by the way, was the place where Mr. Marsden first be came acquainted with his wife. It waa there that they were married. My business waa to look up the title to certain real estate in Boston, and to obtain authenticated records proving the validity of a client’s claim thereto. Before starting on my journey. I declared my paaslon to Lilian, and became her accepted suitor, with the approval of her parents. At the end of three days I had fin ished my search in Boston and armed myself with certified copies of the entries discovered. But—alas, for my success! 1 had found something else—something foi which I was not looking—something that took all the interest out of my mission and made life seem a hide ous mockery and burden. Standing out. as if written in let ters of fire borrowed from the nether regions, 1 found this entry in the rec ord of births in Boston. “December 14, I860- Lilian Agnes, daughter of John and Katherine Mars den.” And this was January, 1896! My affianced, who had been intro duced to me on her twentieth birth day, six months ago, wbb a charming damsel of thirty-six! When I reached the office on my return to the west, I found Fred busy poring over a pile of musty docu ments. “Glad to see you back, Don,” he said, “I’m just looking over some in teresting family papers. Father ia at work on our genealogical history. I suppose you know we came over in the Mayflower?’’ “I wasn't aware of it,” I replied; "but you wouldn’t surprise me if you told me you came over in the ark. How did your sister stand the voy age?” “What the deuce is the matter with you, Fairchild?" Marsden asked- col oring. v "Well—don’t you see—this paper proves she is thirty-six?” Marsden whistled, and then he laughed. “Look here, Don,” he said; "I think I ought to break your neck, Instead of laughing at you—but it’s too absurd. My parent’s first child was a girl, who was christened Lilian Agnes. I was born nine years later; and five years after that came another girl. Lilian was a favorite name with my father; and the first child having died in in fancy, they decided to revive the name. Accordingly, the second daugh ter was crlstened Lilian. And I gave my head two or three good bangs against the wall. After which, I felt better. Where He Wee Welcome. .
