There is more to this commission
form of state government than is
generally supposed. It is easy to
dismiss it as revolutionary but we
have been doing a lot of tilings in
government that would have been
deemed impossible by our forefathers.
The fact is that a state needs fixed
respousibility. A commission would
do this. A state needs men who will
look after the whole state. Few leg
islatures do this. They look after
their district first and the state, next.
Councils have been found unsatis
factory in the city w here they repre
sent a ward rather than the entire
city. Boards of education are elected
at large now because it gets a larger
viewed board. "Why not have the
state governed by a small body of re

at all. You had better keep an eve

That Young
Man
By Carl Jenkins ' ,
Miss : Dora Davis was working
among the flower-beds of ber aunt's
display at Aspen villa. The hour was
Just after breakfast, and she wanted
to poke at something that would keep
her out of doors for an hour. When
the gardner saw her "poking" he
swore a few swear words under his
breath, but he dared not Interfere.
Miss Dora was her aunt's favorite,
and It might have cost him his place
to tell the young lady that she was
rooting out creeping Charlie instead
of weeds.
There was some one coming .down
the road, however, who had no fear of
losing his Job through giving a few
words of friendly advice. He was
about twenty-two years - old. and his
suit showed that he was visiting some
family near by, and his lazy gait that
he was also out to "poke " He came
along and leaned on the fence for
three or four minutes and then' said:
"But you are pulling up all the
creeping Charlie, you know."
Miss Dora uttered a little scream of
Burprise and straightened up. He was
a young man. He had a smile on his
face. She had never seen him before.
How dared he come along and speak
to her aye, even chide her! She
didn't know creeping Charlie from bur
dock, but was that any of his busi
ness? And if she wanted to pull
every flower ' and plant up . by the
roots would good Aunt Sarah have
chided her for it? For a long min
ute the girl looked straight Into that
young man's face and then turned
away with a sniff. A girl's sniff Isn't
a "humph!" and It Isn't a snort, .but It
Is a sound of such indifference and
contempt that it makes a young man
sit np and wonder if he is growing
baldheaded. Walking into the house
with red cheeks and angry eyes. Miss
Dora asked:
"Aunt Sarah, who is that young
man hanging around here?" .
"Young man? Why; I haven't seen
any. Where Is he?"
"Look out of the window."
"Why," said the aunt after taking a
look, "that must be the young man
"You Are Pulling Up All the Creeping
Charlie!"
that has come down to visit the Nor
tons. I heard the other day that they
were expecting a cousin or something.
Did he speak to you?'
"He tried to boss me. That is, he
told me in a bossy way that I was
pulling up creeping Charlie. You ought
to have seen me freeze him!"
"And served him right, too. He
must be what you " city folks call
fresh."
Two hours later, as Miss Dora was
lying in a hammock under the cherry
tree the young man repassed the
house. Twice be almost came to a
stop, as if to make suggestions or ten
der advice, but he changed his mind
and went on. Miss Dora had an eye
on him.
A few rods below the house was -a
creek leading into a river not so far
away. After a day or two Miss Dora,
wandered down there. She saw fish.
and she returned to the house for
pole and line and bait. As the Gard
ner had nothing of the sort she made
an outfit for herself. The hook was
a bent pin, the line of grocer's string,
and the bait a bit of cold roast beef.
She had been fishing for half an hour
when "that young man" came down
the road and stopped to watch her.
She never looked up. She knew he
was smiling, but she kept her head
turned away and hummed the air of
a tune to herself..
"YouH never catch a fish with any
uch a rig-out as that, was finally re
marked; and her visitor moved away
to return in about 20 minutes with a
real pole and hook and line and some
worms for bait. They "Were laid on the
bank almost at her feet, and he said
aa he strolled away:
"You will use them if you really
want to catch fish.
There was no sniff this time. It was
something worse. He hadn't gone ten
feet when the outfit was picked op
and heaved Into the creek. He heard
the rattle of It, turned around to see
nd then headed down the creek to re
cover all that floated. By the time he
had accomplished this the girl was
disappearing np the road. She wasn't
looking back, but ahead, and the way
she carried her hat in ber hand and
swung it to and fro did not Indicate a
mind pertnrbed.
"I saw that young man go by with
a fish pole In his hand.", observed the
aunt. " ' '
"Yes, and he's fishing for it In the
creek now! Aunt Sarah. I fear that I
shall have to take that person tn
hand!"
"Mercy on me!"
"Yes, I fear so. He needs a dressing
down."
"But we can get the constable after
him."
"No need of that. You Just leave
him to me."
Just before the creek debouched
Into the river there was a foot-bridge
across It. The structure was old and
dangerous and out of use. and bore a
sign of "Dangerous." Two days after
the fishing episode Miss Dora wander
ed down that way. There was no rea
son why she should cross that bridge.
but she started to do so. She had
progressed ten feet or more when
"that young man" suddenly appeared
to shout:
"What are you doing on that bridge!
Can't you see that sign?"
The girl had not noticed the sign.
Now she saw it and tossed her head.
"You are risking your life!"
She never halted nor looked back.
Her pace was a saunter and her air
careless. The bridge creaked and
bent, but she walked on to the other
side and up the bank to the highway.
Mr. Fresh had been taken down an
other peg. The girl had Intended to
go back to the house, but she had
caught sight of a skiff on the bank of
the river, and It came over her to do
some paddling and show her con
temptuous Indifference still further.
She walked back to the boat. On
the opposite shore was her self-constituted
guardian. When she entered
the boat he called out across the
creek :
"If you are going out on the river
be careful. There's a dam a little way.
down!"
If he hadn't spoken. Miss Dora
might have given up the thing, as the
craft leaked and there was only a rude
paddle, but he had "bossed" again and
she would go at any peril. He saw
that she was ignorant of boating, and
he called again:
"I say. don't do it!"
The craft was pushed out and went
floating down. As soon as it rounded
a bend in the stream the roar of the
dam reached the girl's ears, and two
women ran out of a house on the bank
and began to scream. Then a man
who was chopping wood ceased to
chop and began to shout.- Then two
boys set up a double yelling. Then
what did the girl do but faint" away?
There was a chance to be a heroine,
but she wasn't equal to It. She was
not at the bottom of the river when
she came to. but lying on a lounge in
a house. y . . "
"It was a fine thing a fine thing,"
said a woman to her.. "The young man
swam the creek and came running
down the bank to plunge into the
river. No one thought he could reach
you in time, but he made it and not
a minute too soon. Yes, reached the
boat and pushed it before him to
shore, and then fell down as limp as
a rag. You owe him your life, missy."
Two hours later, when Miss Dora
reached home, still weak and frighten
ed. Aunt Sarah said:
"Dearie. I've found out about that
bossy young man. That's Just his
way. and he's awfully nice. His name
Is Beaufort, and he's with one of the'
big insurance companies. I I rather
hope he'll call."
"I know he will!" was the reply.
"And if he does maybe maybe "
"Oh, It always turns out that way.
Aunt. I didn't want to be bossed, but
I guess I've got to bef"
HIS MIND NOT ON THE EARTH
Columbia University' Professor Surely
Has No Rival for Mental
Aberration.
One of the professors of Columbia
university is notably absent-minded.
He forgets his name, his address, and
where he keeps his bank balance.
The only things that cling to . his
memory are the things he has studied
in books, says a New York corre
spondent. This summer he has been
living in one of the little Jersey
towns. The other night he returned
after the household had gone to bed,
and discovered that he had forgotten
his door key. "I won't wake up the
folks," said he to himself. "I'll Just
borrow my neighbor Jones' ladder and
climb through my bedroom window."
Which he did with eminent suc
cess. He got into his silken pajamas,
and then another thought struck him.
"If Neighbor Jones were to rise
early," he thought to himself, "and
see his ladder leaning against my
window he would be unduly alarmed
Perhaps he would think that burglars
had entered our house. My wife
might get up early.-' too. and she
would think the same thing. I will
carry the ladder back where I got
It."
Which he did. The dew reduced
his pajamas to damp wrecks. He car
ried that ladder away around behind
Neighbor Jones' barn and put it
where he found It. Then, his mind
at ease, he went around to his own
front door and rang the bell until
his wife came down and admitted
him.
At Last.
"He's a genius!"
"What's he ever done?"
"He has contrived a plan by which
he haa been able to harness his gas
meter and make it run his sewing ma
chine and work the churn." Houston
