Mr. YV. 11. Cloud of Inavaic has filed
on the Democratic ticket for the nom
ination of county representative. Mr.
Cloud is an old settler and well known
over the county us u man of square
dealing. Ho has been successful In
his funning and other operations, does
his own thinking and is well quullllcd
in evory way for this oillce.
March 18 Is the last day for, the Ming
of candidates for nomination before
the primaries. A number of candid
ates are already In thjo Held but there
arc several ofllces to which no demo
oi at has as yet aspired. The ticket
should be filled from top to bottom.
The time Is getting shorter every day
and these places should be tilled at
once.
Now Is just the time of the year to
plan that front yaul ilower bed. List
year tliele were seveial beautiful
Ilower gardens scattered over the city
and this yeui there ought to be many
more. Nothing delights the passer-bj
so much as it bed of llov'ers and If
every flout yard in the city had ut
least one clump of blooming beauties
what a beautiful city wo would have.
"J he entertainment given by the
Men's lllblo class of the 1'nlted church

The program was lull of meat from
beginning to end and was well worth
the thoughtful consideration of the
audience. Experience in the past
proves that this has not always been
the case when wo have paid fifty cents
to u dollar to hear some gentleman
from "wayoir." The Chief believes
that this sort of thing should be en
couraged and that we ought to have
regular meetings of this character.
The chinch nlrendy bus the organiza

the last time that the men of tho city
aro treated to an evening's intellectual
pleasure.
Executive Committee
Issues Statement
The Executive Committee of the
Association of Western Railways have
issued the following statement:
"The wage demands now being voted
on by the rulhoad enginemen and
trainmen do not mean a real eight
hour w oi king day. They provide sole
ly for an increase in wages that would
amount toSlOO.oOO.OtiO a car.
"The public .should not be misled by
statements of tlie biotherhood leaders
that ure asking for an eight hour day.
Their proposals do not provide either
that nil shall work even us much us
eight hours a day or that those who
are now woiking mere Hutu eight
hours shall work any less. Thousands
of train service employee-, now work
less than eight hums ror a dayV pay
and those who w oik more receive pay
not only for all of the time they work
but for every mile they run.
"The proposed rules would simply
change fiom a ten-hour to an eight
hour basis of computing wages, so
that one hour's woik shall bo paid for
as one eighth rather than as one
tenth of a da.'s pay, or as P.'i., miles
instead of In miles,

A KITE AND A GURl
By ROSE MILLER.
Professor Irving and his small son
were constructing a magnificent kite
In the cool shade of the orchard tree's.
"Now, eon, our kite 1b finished all
but the tall we need something bright
and flyaway for the end of our tall
suppose you go up to the house' and
ask Mrs. Keppy for a bit of red ribbon
or tape or something."
Sammy darted away among the
trees, dodged under the fence' and
made a detour through the hayfleld.
Professor Irving whistled over his
task, and when it was completed be
threw himself back on the grass and,
pipe In mouth, dreamily watched the
clouds.
"I have gotted a flyaway, daddy," an
nounced Sammy's voice.
Professor Irving sat up, yawned, and
In the very act paused with his mouth
wide open. Mo stared at the trophy
In Sammy's grimy hand.
"What ia that?" ho thundered at
last
"It's a pretty curl er, flyaway,
daddy."
"Whero did you got it?" sternly.
"I found it," evasively.
"Whero7"
"Garden I"
"Well, of all tho amazing things!"
commented his father, taking tho long
silken curl that clung to his fingers
In tho most annoying manner.
Ho smiled as ho folded the curl
carefully and tucked it Into his note
book. "Sir!"
Here was a peppery tempered voice
indeed. The professor turned mild
eyes upon the speaker.
Sho had advanced upon them from
behind the trees, and sho was a vcri
tablo Goldilocks, albeit her hair was
a showor of red-golden curls that hung
far below her waist. Sho woro a faded
lawn frock, and about her neck was
tied a hugo bath towel.
Professor Irving had struggled to
his feet, his puzzled faco partaking of
tho embarrassment that clouded his
son's. "What do you mean?" ho
nsked. "What has Sammy done?"
"That I" she pointed tragically to
tho curl. j
Slowly Sammy's father opened the
book, took out the dainty silken curl
and regarded It with bewildered eyes.
"My curl,, If you please!" she de
manded haughtily.
"I am very sorry, for what Sammy
haB done," said the professor gently.
"You sec, wo have been making a kite,
and 1 sent him up to ask my house
keeper for a bit or ribbon for tho end
of tho tall wo needed a gay flyi
away. Ho brought this back. He said
ho found it In the garden."
"Sammy found it In the garden, but
not in his own garden," said the girl,
with eyes suddenly brimming with
laughter. "I had been washing my
hair and was drying it In tho rectory
garden. I was sitting on tho grass,
sewing, when suddenly 1 missed my
scissors. Just as I turned to search
for them I felt a tug and heard a snip
ping sound and Sammy was running
away with ono of my curls!"
Sammy bawled lustily and burrowtid
his head under his father's arm.
"Never mind, Sammy," she said at
last. "I am sure you didn't mean to
do a naughty thing. If you will como
with mo I will find you a bright rib
bon for a flyaway."
Sammy smiled at Goldilocks and
tucked his hand in hers.
"I will send him homo soon," sho
smiled. Then sho turned nnd added:
"I am tho rector's niece, Miss Allen."
Sho went away with Sammy, and when
tho two had disappeared among tho
trees the professor still stood there
staring after them, with tho reel-gold
curl twining around his fingers, as the
Imago of its owner was entwining It
self about his heart.
And tho professor neglected to re
turn that curl to Roso Allen. In fact,
ho kept It always. "For," said lie aft
erward, "a man may keep a curl of his
wife's hair!"
"Even if ho doesn't use It as a fly
away," added Rose, us she hugged lit
tlo Sammy.

Those Pestiferous Sparrows.
Mr. Dearborn says the English spar
row reduces tho number of somo of
our most useful and attractive native
birds, such as bluebirds, house wrens,
purplo martins, tree swallows, cliff
swallows and ham swallows, by de
stroying their eggs and young and by
usurping nesting places. It attacks
tho robin, wren, redcyed vlreo, cat
bird and mocking bird, causing thorn
to desert pnrks and shady streets of
towns. L'nllko our natlvo nlrds,
whoso plnco It usurps, It has no song,
but Is noisy and vlt iperntlvn. It de
nies buildings ami ornamental trees,
shrubs and vines with lis excrement
anil with Its bulky nests.
Original Turnpike.
It was formerly tho custom to ob
tain tho funds to maintain principal
thoroughfares by collecting a toll from
thoso using them. Pikes or gates
were set across tho roads by tho keep
er or toll collector.
To prevent peoplo who traveled his
road from passing without paying tho
toll he was armed with a pike, a long
handled stick with a sharp Iron head.
This was put across ns a barrier, anil
when the toll was paid It was turned
aside to permit tho carriago or wagon
to pasB on Its way. Hence the name
turnpike
