Leaving Things Behind.
One of the happiest faculties to
-squire is the ability to leave things
behind , says the Philadelphia
Iiiillitin. It matters not whether
) t is friends' happiness , the com-
lortable old routine , or the fiuni-
'iar ' environment , the day inevitn-
3ly comes when the force that is
IM us , and that makes for progress ,
* iids us move on and leave some
'hinus behind. Ifve stay in the
ultl nil , by so much shall \VP lessen
our experience , by KO much fail fo
. ; ro\v out into broader life.
To the man or woman who is
jioving on , the breaking of old lies
iiid the forming of new ones is
' .cedful. Sometimes the change
omes about so gradually that it
s almost unconscious , and the day
. onies when wo realize with a
atari that we stand in a world of
iiew associations and that much
'hat was once necessary is no iong-
sT so. Sometimes it comes as a
'iidden shock cutting us ofl atone
> lo\v from the old things.
Jiut either way , it should not
grieve us. For we can never lose
\yhnt was good of the past , and
) 'or all that we do lose we shall
ain better.
Or , as a wise one has put it ,
our angels go out , that other
archangels may come in. " Ster-

Galveston's Discovery.
Nebraska cities will earnestly
hope that DCS Moines may be
permitted by the Iowa legislature
to make the experiment in city
govern me nt on which the cit } '
seems to have set its heart. Re
ports do not agree ns to the de
tails ot the scheme proposed , but
it involves with some modifica
tions the commission system of
city government which has thus
far worked successfully in Gal-
veston. This system involves
placing the management of city
' affairs in the hands of a small
executive board , and has the
double merit of simplicity and
concentrated responsibility. It
is the system by which practically
all great private corporations are
j governed , a fact of decided signi
ficance. The Des Moines scheme
proposes to establish a sale-
guard against the abuse of power
by its governors through a recal
provision by which a member
may be suspended on formal pe
tition pending an election which
is to constitute his trial. The
movement is part of the genera
present tendency to take public
affairs into public control as di
rectly as possible , meanwhile
abandoning the failed method ol
governing : by diffused responsi
bility. It is seen that nothing
better conduces to competent
management of public affairs
than ease of fixing the responsi
bility for good or bad work.
Marked success of such a plan in
DCS Moines would furnish valua
ble suggestions to other cities in
this part of the west.

"A woman sighs , 'I wish. A
nan should say , 'I will. ' " Norris -
ris read from an old commonplace
book , adding , with a little laugh :
"Lord , how this generation dis
counts that fine piece of Uulwer's
sentimentality ! Women nowa-
ulays have got past sighing any
thing. Instead they say things ,
uul , behold , the things arc done , "
"Which means , if anything ,
that you're dead sore , ' ' Maryin
retorted , pulling hard at his pipe.
"I don't wonder at it , " he went
on. "You were so immortally
certain Baby Curran would make
ducks and drakes of her venture ,
when , lo , she's succeeded in a
way to astonish everybody. "
"Wrong , as usual , " Norris
commented. Marvin shook his
liead , with a lassy laugh , saying :
"George , but I'm glad Daddy
Curran left nothing but debts
and a liver } * stable to his llock of
children. There was nothing1 for
Baby to do except goon with the
business"-
"There was. She might have
married me , ' ' Norris interrupted.
"She knew I'd look out for her
stepmother and the kids "
"No doubt.1'Maryin broke in ,
"but that isn't Baby's way.
Don't you remember how at
school she wouldn't be told in
cliibh or have her * ums dune for
lier ? Honest independence is
lier ruling passion so much so ,
I feared to have her go into this.
Daddy Curran never thought of
doubting anybody's word until he
had to. I thought Baby was off
the same piece. So she is , but
she's got something else in her.
Her spot conscience , she calls it.
I heard her explaining to old
Major Axtum that the way to
avoid bad debts was to have no
debts at all and let the bank do
all the bookkeeping.1'
Norris drummed hard on the
table. "I'm a fool to keep on
caring1' ! he burst out. "She puts
me aside like a last year's bonnet ;
won't hear to marrying me until
the debts are paid and Benny boy
through school and ready to step
into her shoes. That means four
3'ears at least. Meantime there's
the devil to pa } ' with my people.
They're not purse proud , but
who canblame them if they
don't want to welcome as a
daughter a headstrong young
woman who has made herself
the talk of thccounty , not even
though she did it with the best
intentions in the world ? My
mother was at me yesterday ,
asking me if I wanted a wife
who had grown sharp at bar
gaining with half the horse
dealers and teamsters in the
country side. It seems Bab } ' is
setting up to buy saddle stock" -
"I don't know anybody with a
better right. She knows horses
better than the most of us , '
Marvin interposed. "And , al !
things considered , it is a gooc
thing. She has her market read }
made , as it were. Those cit }
folks take everything of class
she can find them and pay her a
handsome profit. "
"You seem to hold a brief for
her , " Norris said sulkily , . a
gleam of suspicion in his eyes.
"It might be well for you to join
hands with her. You might
make more at horse dealing than
you ever did at the law. "
"Very likely if I had Baby's
chance. But certainly I shan't
scheme to take it from her"
Marvin said steadily ; then , flush
ing a little he added : "I woulc
i be only too glad to join hands
with her in anything and for
life. But she let me know , thats
out of the question. When she
set you free she left herself boum
little as you deserve it. "
The last word was flunsf overhi
shoulder. He had risen and was
striding toward the door. Norris
looked after him. half angril }
half shamedly.then glanced abou
! the handsomely appointed office
with a scowling sneer. Ilij
grandfather had been governor
his father was a senator , his
mother led society in Allingham
Naturally she looked high for her
only son. much higher than a
bankrupt's daughter , who had
akcn upon her shoulders an un-
vomanly burden. Still she had
lot set herself openly against her
son's choice. She had even ap-
Kovcd , thpugh mildly , his in-
cntion of constancy. How , then ,
should he suspect that she was
banning to upset that intention ?
The hinge of the plan was Miss
Althea Koswell a beauty , Miss
Vlthea , if one could have over-
ookcd her nose. Unfortunately
t stood out so boldly over look-
ng it was impossible , even in the
effulgence of her manv dollars ,
't was the nose as much as any-
hing else that had made Granville -
ville Norris feel so much at ease
with her. She had come for a
eng visit , and Allingham was
making much of her , yet some-
low she had not been brought
face to face with Baby , who had
lowdays little time and less
noncy for ruffling it in the town
gayeties. Norris himself saw
Rr but in little snatches. Shu
went and came so uncertainly and
it such odd times he could not
waylay her and calls were out
of the question. The little new
ionic was so crowded it was im
possible to say anything there
with out having it reach all cars.
Norris felt that there was much
which ought to be said , but some
low had not yet brought himself
to the pitch of saying it.
lie glanced out of the window ,
lis eyes brightening as they fell
upon his mother , driving her pony
chase , with Althea snug beside
lier. lie rushed out to greet them
nnd almost dragged them in
side. Very shortly thereafter
lie went away with them upon
.in errand he did not in the least
relish. Miss Althea had heard of
Baby Curran's venture ; futher ,
she had lost her heart to a fine
saddle marc Baby had just bought
and sent out to exercise- She
meant to have the creature at al
most any price , so Norris , per
force , went along to see the bar-
aining. He did not go quite
blindlv. Though he had never
let himself acknowledge it , he
was not insensible to what he
would gain if he could bring him
self to marry Miss Roswell. If
he meant ever to do that , it was
well not to set the new fancy be
side the old. lie writhed at the
thought , hoping against hope for
some miraculous chance to take
Baby away. But , most inconsist
ently , he felt a flooding gladness
at sight of her. smiling a welcome
from the door of the neat dingy
office.
She was sorry , dreadfully sorry ,
but Black Leexy was not to be
bought. She had been bought ,
indeed , upon a special order from
the city stable and would be sent
there as soon as ever she got a
little wonted to be the bustle ol
streets. Yes , she had got a fine
commission. ' No. Miss Roswell
could not have the marc by dou
bling , trebbling , quadrupling it
not for anything at all. She
( Baby ) was sorry to seem dis
obliging , but she could do noth
ing else. She had given her
word and must keep it : had pro
mised the dealer the best horse
to be found and , having found
one without a match , was bound
to let him have it.
Miss Roswell had been silken
soft at the outset. Finding her
self thus with stood for the sake
of what seemed to her a finespun
scruple , she showed a temper as
high as her nose and flounced
across the stall front , saying to
Mrs. Norris in pretended aside ;
"Isn't it lucky ? I didn't reall }
want the mare only to sec what
a woman horse jockey is like
She's not bad looking either.
You might take her to be quite
respectable unless you knew
better. ' ' ,
Baby heard every word , as Miss
Roswell meant she should. She
stepped back a pace , going white
then red , her hands hanging help
lessly at her sides. Norris like
wise heard ; he flushed darkly and
made as if to stand by his sweet
heart. But his mother was call
ing him , likewise his duty as a
courteous host. With a look half
uigry , half apologetic , he follow
ed the two retreating figures
oward their carriage. Halfway
to it he stopped and half turnc'd
ibout , to see Marvin standing
with Baby's hand in his , her face
raised to his and her eyes wet.
Instantly he flung back to thiMii ,
but Uaby waved him away.
When he had gone and the car
riage was out of hearing , she
said to Marvin , with a little hard
jreath ; "Poor Granville ! I ought
tot blame him. He has maybe
caught my faith in spot cash. "
Then , most unaccountably , she
tid her face in her hands and
sobbed hard a minute , but looked
up after it smiling ; a brave yet
piteous smile. Marvin took her
land again and pressed it ever so
little , saying in a half whisper ;
"Honey , cry all you want to be
tween now and the New Year.
We arc going to get married then
ind live happy ever after. "
Baby's answer was a blush and
silence , but the wedding came olT
luly , a month ahead of the Norris
Roswell affair.

The practice of serving hot coffee ,

however , expect that the change from-

Novel Danger-Signal.
A i emarkable Invention for prevent
ing railway accidents has been tried
with success on the western railways
of France. The invention Is placed
on an engine. If the driver for any
cause passes an adverse danger-sig
nal the apparatus blows a whistle on
the engine continuously and also
throws up a small light under the
engine driver's nose. This will ren
der all accidents , except willful ones.
Impossible.
Dead or Crazy.
A London daily tells a short mod

ing on a northbound train out of Lon
don. Opposite him was a silent stran
ger , his only companion. Between
London and Derby no word passed.
Then as the train drew out of Derby
ho said , pleasantly : "Good Hue , this ,
sir , eh ? " The stranger replied : "I
think it a beastly bad line. I wu
Ullled on It two years ago. "
