a REOGlerss Loyc-A Practical
illustration Of Its Power.

A mothers love What a potent thing
K is 1t will melt the heart Of the most
hardened criminal, when no other infiI-
ence would be efFectual. No one but a
mother knows its full meaning, but every
ouO can appreciate It il they will. Il u
known, though, that It means sleePless
nights, care, Inconvenience, and, f ne
Cessary, want, hardship and death. But
the subject has been toe eioQuently
treated by the sweetest poets and the
abIest writers TO furnish an essay for
these columns. Too many practical IL
lustrations occur In every day life for &
to be dwelt upon, so that It Is unnecessary
to speak OF the subject further in order
TO make the reader understand the full
meaning of what Is to follow.
Mrs. Henry S-hualeTl, of Ashland,
Ky, writes that her daughter has been
cured Of deafness which resulted from
chronic catarrh. She tells Now che had
lost all hope Of her daughter her ideal }
being cured, and how oYeTjOyed she IS at
the result. After trying many remedies,
she says PERUNA Brought a euro, and
that the daughters hearing Is restored.

stOry is not more authentic than tk'
old one. This, however, is the story
as it is offered to the public, A
Mr.. Rice, who had for 80 years been
newspaper editor in Ohio, took
up his residence about four years
ago in the Sa-d wich Island. Only
recently, III examining a box of pa
pers which had not been disturbed
for a long while, he came across a
, parcel labeled in his own handwrit-
ing IN. s. Story, Conneaut." On
opening it, the manuscript proved to
be the long lost writings of Solomon
Spaulding!
The bpaulding manuscript is de-
scribed rs not written IN sham
Hebraisfic phraseoIogy, like the
"Book Of Mormon" bUt in ordinary
English. 1t contains 10 quotations
from Isaiah and other sacred books
which are in the Mormon scriptures
were, as was always believed, inter
polatedbY Smith.
One would like to see the "copy"
to compare it with unquestioned
specimens of Spaulding's writing,
an4 to examine the paper on which
it is written, in order to satisfy ones
self that it is ef the date claimed.
Should it be found to be written on
paper manuta ctured later than 1912,
and, above all, postorier to 1916,
when the putatiye author died, then
without K doubt it is gross tabri- !
cation. And these points are all so
obviously important that unless the
''Hon. L, Z. Rice, late OF Obeglin,
o." does not desire to be cIassed with
the Psalmoanazaarg and Macpher-
sons, to say nothing of the Spauld-
ings and Smlths, he should without
loss Of time submit his "find" % tae

We have no objection to having that

Of a swollen and dissolute victor.
There is no disgrace in chat 1t is
the retrievable or at least the unen-

the victor's brow with the feathers,

draggled to the sem blence of q wet
hen crouching under a board on Il

him to march in your ribald triumph,

He is a ,lemocat. He is the sole
property Of the dem ocratic party.
He must not be made TO march in
republican triumphs as if he were
renegade or as if there were a re

The Latest Romance.

E 1t was a cottage overlooking th
sea. From its door, over which tn
roses climbed, one could look ont o
the white winged ships sailing to an
fro, and down upon a beach o.
which the w&ves we're ever gentl,
breaking.
| 1.-THE only drawback was the fac
that old Smith had mortgage OF
the said cottage. and that the sew
erage ab0lt the place was defective.
It vas early in the morning. The
bright sun was just rising from his
bed in the blue, blue sea; the lark
rose from the meadow and SCARED
toward heaven; the low Of the kline
was heard on every hand, and the
silent watches of tile night were
about to give place to the hustle of IA
glorious day. One who stood and
drank in the picture would have been
entranced.
It doesn't cost cent to get
it that wav, and it is 90 per cent.
cheaper than working up.an enthusi-
asm by the use of lager beer.
Suddenly the door was opened and
a merry laugh was heard. The fair
Ethel had left her couch to greet the
rising run. As she stood amidst the
roses, her brown eyes sparkling with
enthusiasn-her cheeks glowing
with heaIth-her golden hair light

and the blue birds which fitted |
from rose to rose sang s1eeter songs
as if to honor he's. For a mom~nt
the fair Ethll stood thus, and then
she descended the steps and glided
toward tho gate.
EShe wasn't on roller skates, but |

At the gate she paused. Once
more she surveyed the placid sea-

laturs for the moment. Her bosom
neayed, her eyes grew brighter, and
i wns evident that the Inspiration
was on her. She was bout to speak

lips were about to part there was a
onug on the cottage door and a
srun voice called out:
"W hat IN blazes are you doing

The long syeIeshes OF the beaut-

The Registers Sudden Turn.

J. Fred Myers. In DGnsOn Review.
The arbitrary removal Of the auditor
of state by Governor Sherman, when il
was confessed that no dishonesty nor
loss to the state was apprehcnded,
seemed to us q matter Of grave import
ance and dangerous to republican gov
eminent; and regarding the removal in
this light we deem it our duty to call
public attention thereto. The State Reg
tstsr which for months attacked
Mr.. Brown with its character
istic virulence, now suddenly turns
and advocates the auditors re
instatement. 1t complains bitterly that
its position has been misunderstood, and
that its editor tried hard to prevent the
suspension. This claim is SO cxtraor-
binary that the Register insults the intel
ligencc Of tho editorial profession, who
are supposed to know something of the
power and force of language and con-
tinuous editorial conduct. Why, even
the ordinary lay reader, whose privilege
it is to swear by the Register-never
dreaming of thinking for himself
spanked up to defend Governor Sher-
mans action. and this sudden turn over
is rather hard on its parrot followers.
Whether the Registers new departure
10 sincere or not is of no practical conse-
quence. The great wrong has been con-
eliminated and remains unrighted. A
