Illinois Is llealtbfu:.
The n i"ilier of old folks in Illinois
vvho cel. '.jiaw their reunions, birth
cays, etc., calls attention to the fact
that Illinois is a wonderfully healthy
state. One can go anywhere in Illinois
ami find the patriarchs whose beards
are covered with the frosts of H or 90
winters. You can find celebrations;
where the representatives of five gen
erations appear on the platform at one
time. You can find grandmothers whoj
iook tine young women, iney are so
well preserved. You can find men of
Co or 70 years of age who are open
for an engagement to run foot races
or dance u country jig. All of these are
indications of the health-giving quali
ties of the broad prairies of the state
of Illinois.
"We even have men who are 70 to 7o
years of age who are still looking for
political preferment and who seem to
think they are still in the heyday of
their youth. Illinois is a great state
for many things, and its healthful cli
mate is not one of the least of its great
advantages.
DAILY SHORT STORY
A Step In the Itight Direction.
The move on the part of Mayor Mc
Caskrin to place the waterworks de
parttnr nt in the hands of a commission
or board, is a step in the right direc
tion, and it is hoped will receive the
co-operation of the council. It is an
effort, toward a measure nt least, of
civil service, such as should govern not
only the waterworks but the fire de
partment. As soon as this is attained,
the city and the tax payers will be
given a more efficient service in thee
two important branches of the muni
cipal government.
Much will of course, depend upon
the attitude of the council in the mat
n r of providing for the personnel of
the commission, should the mayor's
idea he adopted. Under these circum
stances, a board of five members, with
the term expiring at different times,
would more nearly remove the control
from politics than a commission limit
ed to time members.
Nor lliuulntlnt; a Wise Iltarople.
It is to be regretted that after the
glorious achievements that have sig
nalized the course of Japan in war, the
circumstances attending the conclu
sion of hostilities should arouse in the
island empire demonstrations of the
mob nature.
Japan has behaved too well through
out the struggle and in the terms of
bringing it to a close to tmuiate her
late adversary's example in the matter
of internal dissensions now.

A MASTER STROKE.
Original
After marriage some couples seem to
assimilate easily, while others are like
fractious horses trying to pull together
in double harness for the first time.
Mr. and Mrs. Zerwick In-longed to the
gutter class. Mr. Zerwick was a level
Wailed, practical man." He hail had
iulte enoKU of spoonknj duriug the
ngagemeut. and the wedding festivi
ties had bored him. He wished to set
tle down to the htrtndrum of life. Not
no the lady. She saw no reason why
the honeymoon should not continue in
definitely. Now, there were both truth and fal
lacy in her position. There Is a differ
ence between n lunar and a life honey-moon-the
same Iifference as between
a bubbling brook and a deep, silently
flowing stream. Mr. Zerwick, though
tired of the former, was ready for the
latter. The consequence was that his
wife jumped at the conclusion that they
had made a terrible mistake that they
-ere not fitted for each other. One
Iay, with as much deliberation as she
?ould assume, she informed her hus
band of this condition. Naturally he
was very much surpris-d.
"Well," he said calmly, "I fear it is
too late to repair the error."
"Nothing under heaven would fciduco
me to endure this any longer. I would
soon land in a lun.itii- asyrum."
"What do you propose to do?"
"Leave you."
"Well." replied the husband, "if you
are to do that it would be far better to
go before there are any children to
nufJer by Ibis terrible mistake."
"The sooner the better."
"Would you like a divorce so that
you can marry again?" .'
"Thank you. I've had i quite enough
of matrimony."
"I want you to bo. comfortable. I
will leave you in possession here and
live at my club."
"You are very kind. I .shall return to
my mother."
tJeorge Zerwick considered this
merely a passing squall and while at
business during the daj- thought it
would have blown over by tle time of
his return. What was his astonish
incut when he went home to find his
wife gone with her principal baggage.
The situation was serious. His first

"Where can I address him? Is he
still at home?"
'I am not at liberty to tell you.'
'Io you mean that I can only com

"He did not tell me that lie expected
any communication from you, but said
that if there was anything It must

"This is shameful."
The man lowel and was ebout to

Mrs. Zerwick tore up the letter and
ordered the man to leave the house,

ground that It would not be acceptable
