If we have a few more such beauti
ful days as we had St Patrick's day
last Sunday, our lawns will allsoen
be wearing the green again.
The recent explosion of the French
battleship Iena., with the loss of
one hundred and twenty-five lives,
makes us remember the Maine again.
The Japanese San Francisco school
question is settled. Japs can go to
die same schools as whites, but the
Chinese must still go to the separate
schools provided for them.
During Ue past week there has been
quite a stock panic in Wall street It
has not affected any other part of the
country, but during such times the
financing of power canals is out of the
question.
It is conceded by all that Platte
county ought to have a new court
house, a safety vault for its valuable
records, a place secure against fire and
against burglars, and proper office
rooms for the officers. If the people
of Columbus were to drop all discus
sion of the probable location of the
new building and would trust to the
good judgment of our board of super
visors, there is every probability of
the taxpayers of Platte county voting
bonds to build one.
The republicans have nominated J.
H. Galley for councilman in the Sec
ond ward, and the democrats named
S. J. Ryan. The Journal has not a
word to say against Mr. Ryan, but Mr.
Galley has had so much experience in
municipal matters, and in all cases
shown a sound and correct judgment,
and has devoted so much of his time
in the interest of the city, that really
we think he deserves re-election with
out opposition. It is well known that
Mr. Galley will not make any effort
to be re-elected, but the residents of
the Second ward should, as a matter
of personal interest, return him to the
council this spring.
Columbus is known as one of the
oldest towns in the state, it is known
as one of the best business towns as
well, a town that has never had a
boom, but a steady growth. It is oft
en spoken of as a town of many
saloons, having a large foreign popula
tion. Columbus is now making a re
cord, and is gaming a distinction in a
new line,on that every Columbus man
and woman and child can be proud
of, and that is the raising of $30,000
for a fine Y.M.C. A. building. This
Magnificent fund will be raised with
in a few weeks, and only about one
hundred people have been solicited.
This shows conclusively that our
people are prosperous and their heart
is in the right place, and that they al
so appreciate the good that will be
done, especially for young- men and
boys, as having a live Y. M. C.A.
association in our midst No other
town of our size has done as well.
We have broken the record, and we

If the Telegram is really sincere in
the agitation for the government
ownership of all railroads and other
public utilities, let it commence
right here in our own town. Why
not have the city of Columbus own
and control and operate its own elec
tric light plant, and run it in connec
tion' with the city waterworks? That
is aometluiig that is feasible. We can
have better service for less money.

least $12,500."
He passed me over a letter from the
Tittle bird."
I went over to Slowdown by the
11:16 train. McKenzie became civil
as soon as I explained the object of
my visit
"Well deal with the matter in a
generous spirit on both sides," he
said. "WU1 yon make it $10,800r He

"If a out of the question."
"Tell make it a free conveyancer'
"No. no! But well do it cheaply;
and quickly."
"By the new year?"
"By Christmas," I promised. So we
closed the bargain.
Stone rubbed his hands when I told
him.
"We will take it over for signature
on Tuesday," he pronounced.
We had investigated the title during
the previous negotiations. I saw to
the matter myself, as Stone was busy
trying a new motor a form of con
veyance of which I do not approve. I
was reading the document for the last
time, on Monday morning, when my
partner rushed into our room.
"Put on your top coat and hat and
come." I looked at the clock.
"We're too late for the train."
"Well go on the motor."
"Umph!" I must confess that I did
not trust it "I don't see why we need
be in such a hurry."
"His brother is going over by the
train. He has heard something about
the station."
The motor was at the door, puffing
and rattling in an unpleasant manner.
I did not like venturing on the thing,
but Stone hustled me into a seat Then
he turned a wheel and it bolted for
ward with a Jerk that threw my hat
into the road. It was nearly a new hat
and some small boys were playing
football with it when we turned the
corner.
"Why didn't you stop? I demanded.
"We've barely time to beat the
train."
"I shall catch my death of cold."
"Tie a handkerchief round your
head," he suggested.
I commenced knotting my handker
chief at the corners: but Stone turned
too sharply at the end of the street
and we ran against the curb. In catch
ing hold of the car to save myself I let
the handkerchief go. Stone's umbrella
went also. I will not say that I was
glad, but I hoped it would be a lesson
to him, and I told him so.
"One must take these little things
philosophically," he said. 'Tve a
spare handkerchief that I'll lend you."
It was a large silk one, and made an
excellent head covering, but unfortu
nately it was bright red in color, and
excited remarks from people we
passed.
"It goes," he remarked, with satin--faction.
"I shall be glad when it stops," I
replied. "I don't consider it is under
proper control."
"My dear Flint I can guide it to an

Good Heavens!"
He had overlooked a heap of stones,
and we mounted high over them. I
turned a backward somersault on the
seat and only saved myself from going
out of the car by 'clasping him round
the neck with both legs.
We rushed upon a policeman like
an avalanche. He bolted for the foot
path, shouting something about the
county council and ten miles an hour.
"They've escaped from an asylum,"
cried a lady as we passed. "Look at
their caps."
"If we aren't smashed, we shall beat
the train by 20 minutes," said Stone.
It means $2,000."
"Less damages," I corrected. "II

rough place and I nearly went out

fellow got me out with a pitchfork.
When I had got some of the water
and the fork out of me, I looked
round and saw Stone wringing hisv
garments and his hands.
"The conveyance is ruined!" he
wailed.

could, and reached McKenzie's Just as
the train was whistling in the dis

entered his room, dripping and breath
less. "Well, well!" ;
"We came by motor," , Stone explained.
"I thought ye'd come by sea!" He
laughed loudly. Persons of. his na

humor.
"We had an accident If yon .will

"Tell change first" he suggested,
pretending' that he was trying not to
grin. "There's no such haste."
"Business before pleasure," I re
minded him, trying to laugh.
"Some folks take their pleasure sad

something funny.
"I don't see anything to laugh at
Mr. McKenzie," said my partner with
dignity.
"But ye must have a wee drop first
to keep out the cold," he proposed
affably.
"Afterwards," I said,' "afterwards."
So he called in his two clerks. They
were ill-bred young men, and giggled
audibly when they looked at us; but
we affected not to notice them, and
hurried through the business. We had
barely concluded, when Donald Mc
Kenzie rushed in.
"Is the conveyance signed?" he de
manded. "It is," we told him.

roared.

Famous Missionary Ship to Be Sold.
After being used for 18 months
among the Michoneslan group of is
lands in the South Seas, says the Se
attle Post-Intelligencer, the famous
ship Morning Star has been taken to
Honolulu, where she will be sold at
auction.
The Morning Star was bought by
the pennies of Sunday school children
throughout the country. Her cost was
$40,000. The steamship was origin
ally the Shoe City, running between
Boston and Lynn.
Eighteen months ago the Morning
8tar sailed from Boston with a party
of missionaries bound for the South
Sea Islands. After landing the people
the steamship was employed carrying
supplies from the various islands and
missionary stations, and also in car
rying native children to the Christian
schools. There are few vessels afloat
so well known to seamen as the
"Preacher Ship," as she was named.
The reason for selling the steam
ship is stated to be the cost of operat
ing her. Coal in the South Seas com
mands a higher price than in more
frequented portions of the globe, and
the traffic would scarcely justify the
board retaining so large a steamship.

A Wasp as a Pet
Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept
by man was a wasp which Lord Ave

solved to tame.- He began by teach

and in a very short space of time it
grew to expect to be fed in that way.
Lord Avebury preserved this pet with
the greatest care. True, it stung him
once, but then it had every excuse for
doing so. He was examining it while
on a railway Journey and, the door
being opened by a ticket collector, he
unceremoniously stuffed it into a bot

feeling quite at home during the proc

sort of person who ought to bear that
name.
The night before she had had a ter
rible falling out with "Him.? aad she
must have been absent-minded when
she went up stairs that afternoon to
dress for a silly pink tea. She didn't
want to go, in the first place, but she
knew that He would be there and it
would never do to let him see that she
felt so badly about It that she had
lost her interest in society. Besides,
of course, she didn't feel badly about
it No, of course not
So she dragged herself up stairs
and put on the very smartest frock
and brightest feathers she possessed,
and all of her gold bangles and her
gold chatelaine. It was a dusky,
cloudy afternoon aad she had to light
the gas to see how to get the powder
on straight When she had finished
the last touch and "saw that it was
good," .she turned out the gas aad
went languidly down stairs. Before
she had reached the. bottom step she
discovered that she had forgotten her
gloves her lovely violet silk gloves
which Just matched her costume. She
ran np again, very much astonished
and provoked that she, the careful aad
esthetic Dolly, should have forgotten
anything so vitally Important to to
the matter in hand. She would have
to take off every one of those gold
bangles now and replace them on top
of the gloves.
She remembered having seen the
gloves on top of her bureau, so did not
stop to light the gas again, but
snatched them up and ran down the
steps, for she was late. When she
glanced at the clock in the hall she
noticed that she was even later than
she had thought so she decided that
she would wait and put her gloves on
in the street car.
After a breathless run she caught a
car on the fly, pushed her way into it
and found a seat only to find Him sit
ting opposite and staring at her quite
tranquilly.
His hand went up to the brim of his
hat but she coldly turned her chin to
ward the window at her back and
gazed into the muddy street behind
her. But one cannot look behind for
ever, and after a while she began
gradually to turn her head back again.
It was then that she observed every
body in the car was gazing straight at
her. She blushed a-deep scarlet They
were laughing! A messenger boy op
posite her was so convulsed that he
was fairly sputtering. An old gen
tleman with eyeglasses grinned at her
as though she were his own daughter.
And He he was shaking with mirth or
delight or something equally vulgar.
She was on the verge of tears.
What could be the matter? Had

dress. It was carefully buttoned.

down at her boots and petticoats. But
there was not even a pin out of place.
Then she observed that her arms
were bare and that she had forgotten
to put on her gloves. With queenly
dignity and her chin in the air, she
mechanically thrust her hands into
one of the violet silk things she car
ried. She drew and drew and drew it
up without even glancing at it and
fjthen her fingers struck something
strange and she looked down with
horror.
In her lap, with its foot dangling to
floor, lay a long, violet silk stock-
while on her forearm, in the fun
view of the whole car, she held an
other violet silk stocking, its heel and
toe conspicuously covering her hand
and her wriggling fingers.
She wanted to shriek but she
couldn't The rest of the passengers
nearly did so, however, as she took
the thing between her fingers and
Jerked it off as though it had been a
poisonous snake.
It was then that he showed his true
colors and made her feel that never,
never could she live without him.
Reaching over, he carefully picked up
the violet stockings from where they
had fallen on the floor and stuffed
them in his coat pocket Then he mo

and. without a smile or a word, pre
