Every true citizen will stand for
and vote for "The Greater Falls City.
One of the most important Issues
before our people this spring is the
matter of providing adequate school
facilities for the growing population.
There are hodm rumors afloat to
tho effect that Uncle Sam is about
to effect a reconcUaflon between
the warring factions In Mexico. It
would be a piece of unexampled di
plomacy, should he succed. It would
also be a grand achievement in the
interests of peace and humanity.
What have you boon doing to help
land that new union depot? Good
things come high. If wo ever get
a thing as good as that wo. will have
to wado In and do some strenuous
rooting.
The House In the Nebraska has no
adopted one Koferndum bill and the
senate an other. Now if there can
bo found common ground of agree
ment between the two it should not
bo impossible to adopt the comprom
ise.. However, decidedly better to
pass none than pass bills so amen
ded as to make of the Initiative and
Referendum only only a tiling to be
laughed at.
It is easier to give a town a black
eye than to cause it to stand fortli
among the other towns of the com
munity as a particularly shining ex
ample of civic excellence. Citizens,
who have predilection for crying dowi
their home town should take note of
this fact and curb their conceit a
bit. It is easier to give a man a bad
name than to correct the abuse after
it lias once been commuted. Kails
City has a reputation to sntsalii and
there is neither sense nor humor in
everlastingly peddling her faults and
forgetting her virtues,

The latest Oklahoma idea is a cleat*
ing house for farmers, which has
been proposed to the legislators of
that state by Seth T. Farnsworth of
Chicago, which he says, will make
paying property out of every idle
acre in the state. A bill lias been
prepared outlining the clearing bouse
plan and may be Introduced in tbej
Oklahoma legislature. The fundamen
tal principle or the farmers' clearing
house consists in organizing the
farmers in a county, which will re
ceive assignments of all crops from
these farmers; it being agreed that
no member of the organization will
purchase anything in the way of
supplies except through this bank; j
the bank as the fountain-head of
the entire organization being custodia '
of tho association's funds, so that
should a lean year put in its appear
ance the farmers may borrow from
the funds of tho association.
A few clays ago a jury com
posed entirely of school boys heard
and determined a ciiunual case In
the c'rtuil court at Qwingville, Ky.,
It chanced that when this especial
prose- ut 'on was called both sides a
nouncod ready for trial, but no
jurrors of the regular panels were
available. Uoth po tit. juries were
out, considering other cases, and
Judge Young ordered tho sheriff to
go to the school building and s um
mon twelve boys.. This was done,
and the boys, ranging from 1;’, to IS
years of age, were impaneled and
placed in the regular jury box. The
case tried was one wherein tho de
fendant was charged with violating
the local option law by selling a
malted drink which contained more
than the allowable percentage of al
cohol. The youthful jury heard the
evidence and retired, bringing a ver
dict of guilty after some twenty-five
minutes’ deliberation.
This is certainly a novelty in court
procedures, and it worked so well tha
i* may become infectious. The large
majority of men, who heartily despise
jury service, will welcome the inno
vation, not only because it will al
low them tto escape this burdensome
service, but because it will open;
the way for an industrious boy to i
become self-sustaining, while at the
same time gaining that knowledge of j
the law which every citizen is pre
sumed to possess.
Sober Judgment will further sug
gest that it is quit probable that
twelve bright school boys will make

THREE BROTHERS
For more than fifty years three
brothers lived together in their old
home, cherishing its traditions, its
furnishings, its garden and old trees.
Their mother died when the young
est son was small, and the older hoys
promising her to “keep him a good
boy," took up the care of the house
hold. Their father took them one
by one, at an early age, into his
store, and taught them the principles
of honest, gradual success. After
the father died the oldest son mar
ried, and for many years the quartet
lived a Ifie of scarcely Interrupted
happiness, bound together by a tie
singularly strong, and an understand
ing truly clairvoyant. The week be
fore Christmas the brothers took
heavy colds. One died on Tuesday
one on Thursday, one on Saturday.
The whole city was griefstrlcken
at their deaths. Talk in homes and
factories, shops, street-cars and rail
way-trains was all of the tradgedy,
and almost every speaker expressed
a sense of personal loss.
“I acted as agent in renting a de
sirable warehouse,” said one. “Sev
eral advantageous offers were refused
because the business of those who
wished to hire it would have injured
older firms in the vicinity.”
"One of our boyhood friends fell
Into the drink habit,” said another
man. “Gradually he slipped all his
professional and social anchors. The
brothers Cared for him, saw that his
room was warm and that food was
provided; and this they did to the
end. No one else, I fancy, knew
of it.”
|
A missionary's wife lived in this j
town. "I did my shopping at the
establishment of these men," she said
"Only accidentally and from other
sources did I learn that I had been
buying at wholesale prices. There
was no air of giving on their part.”
One young fellow who had started
a store,carrying the same merchan
dise as the brothers, shod tears on!
hearing the news of their deaths.
‘They came to me at the start, wel
corned me to the trade, and, out of
their long experience, advised me j
as to what lines to carry and what j
stixk to buy.”
One of tin* brothers a thorough mu
sician for more than forty years
played the organ in his church and
never accepted a salary, although no
paid worker was ever more faithful.!
He played for years in the local band
and raised it to a degree of perfec
tion that made its services sought
from long distances.
Another brother who received the
offer of a diplomatic post from the
President of the United States, smil
ingly put it aside to remain with his
brothers. He was indefatigable how
ever in using his special ability to
promote the welfare of a local libra
ry fathered by that name President.
The third passionately fond of flow
ers, made the grounds about the fam
ily residence a green and glowing
oasis in the dusty city.
There is a great deal of pulling new
udays over circumstances. Those
sons of foreign parents started life
in a little frontier town. They be
came rich, and their is nothing sor
did about moneymaking except the
sordidness with which it is made.
They showed in their daily lives that
there is, in everything an excellence
which is ideal. They proved that
push, and bounce and brass are real
ly not so impressive or influential
as quiet ways, low tonseq of voice,
sympathy and tolerance. They ex
cited no opposition, and never neglec
ted to practice those minor duties
which constitute the “humble but sol
id stun c'f the moral life.” Their
religious faitli was incarnated
in appropriate lives.
The loss of those men, shining with
the luster of a lifetime’s rectitude,
has opend to those who knew them
a larger view of what a quiet un
eventful life may bo. —Youth’s Comp
anion.

Just as the proper tools produce the best work, so does a respon
sive key action increase the effciency of a stenographer. It saves
her strength. Therefore, she has a better grip on her work, is
more accurate, more rapid, gets a greater quantity of work done,
i There is no “three-o’clock fatigue” where the Monarch is used,
and a few days’ trial will convince you of this fact.
