One of these measures is the $6,000,000 road Ing bill.

However it was dered the election might be jeopardized if Curry d to take part in it, and hence the governor, repre ng the balance of the state, if not Curry county, wht suit to compel the holding of an election June 4 reded by the legislature. Curry county demurred ie complaint which was filed in the supreme court, its objections were over ruled, and yesterday its m utqo fiwi Tt- nrpspnts a i mall leeral nut for the t to crack, or perhaps we should have said presente all and devious crack tor the legal nuts to waiK. it up that the county budget has been made up, and that e will be barely money enough to run the county, t if it calls this election the expense, with its present btedness, would exceed the $5,000 which is the limit red for county indebtedness created by the officials, that if this sum is exceeded the officials will them- become responsible individually. It will be seen a this if the contention of the officials is correct, that would have to pay the expenses of holding an elec they were .not interested in personally, to give people a were not interested in it a chance to vote on what 1 did not care two whoops for, and which they knew id not have the result changed no matter whether ry county held an election or not. It is probable Curry i have to hold an election whether she would or not, tit is possible the road bonds-will not get a large ma lty down in the southwest corner of the. state. The 'ority against the bonds may be increased by about the vote of Curry county. THE SEEDS OF REVOLUTION Socialists in Germany are getting bold to the danger A The latest dispatches from Berlin state that the ers of the two branches of the party in the reichstag, iidemann and Ledobour, bluntly warned the imperial icellor, Von Bethmann-Hollweg, of possible trouble U ;ere peace steps were not taken. Scheidemann is the iter of the peace but pro-government faction, and this ning coming from him is the more of a surprise on t account. Ledebour leads the anti-war and anti srnnient faction of the socialists, and he was even e frankly outspoken than Scheidemann. Of Scneide m's position he said: "If he does not want strong ds, which do not shrink even from the announcement revolution to be followed by deeds. We are convinced I events must happen in Germany as they have hap ed in Russia. We must soon introduce a republic in many and we shall soon propose that the constitution Jnuttee take preparatory steps to that end. It is b a lone way to revolution in Germany, for the ag military force will keep the masses awed, but when talk of revolution such as the above is made in the stag, it is evident the seeds of revolution are planted i sooner or later will blossom and bear fruit. It is hm the range of possibility that when the end of the r comes it will be from within some of the warring tries rather than from their enemies. Hunger is a at driver, and because the central allies are the more jessed from this source than their opponents the sibihty of revolution in some of them, is that much e the stronger. .

"No, not the way you mean! Don't look so horritied! But a great many people now a days, especially in a big city like New York have some sort of wine served with their meals, and a cocktail as an appetizer. But I think that cocoa and coffee will do very nice ly. Shall you play bridge?" " Ves. 1 thought so- There will be just eight of us." 1 replied, but some way my enthusiasm for my party had all oozed out. Helen liau acted so queer ly. Ought I to give them winef 1 wor ried over it until Tom came home then I said: "Tom, what shall we give them to drink, Wednesday night?" "Coffee, of course, why?" "Nothing much, only 1" "Vou didn't think J was going to buy wine for them did youf Nice im pression we'd give buying wine for that bunch. They all know I can 't af ford it! Orandell would bo justified in firing me if were fool enough to do such a thing. They have money enough to buy all the wine they want. Jt will do them good to lead the simple life one evening," so it was settled, great ly to my satisfaction. I, no more than Tom, wanted them to think I was try ing to do something; but no one knows how I wished we were able to do it naturally. Does it seem strange that I should have such desires; that as soon as I heard of tho proper thing to do; or the thing which society people did that 1 should want to do it ? Perhaps it was partly due to my bringing up; perhaps to inherent snobbishness. 1 don't pre tend to know; but I do know that while all my life I had had the necessities, J never had been indulged in luxuries. That now I longed for the flespots may have been due to that. All dav the day of the parly 1 work ed in tlie kitchen with Xoiul,; or in making tho apartinen1 neat and at tractive.
