To doubt the father of her sons, then near
ing manhood, would have seemed little less
than crime. Her faith was absolute. The
woman who beguiled him was trusted friend
and relative. To find herself deceived and
betrayed by those in whom she had placed
implicit confidence, to have snatched away
from her without a moments warning the
love on which she had leaned, was
a blow more difficult to bear than
any fate could have bestowed. A be-
reayement by death would have been
far less bitter, for death does not lend ALL
to the heart of faith. This was to her the
end of all things, so far as that goes which
makes life worth living

When love is DONE.
and to her love was done forever. Pride, and
and shame, and duty to others forced her to
assume an interest in life, but those who were
nearest know to-day that to the world, as
happier people see it, she died ten years ago.
For their own sakes they mourn her depart
ure now. but for hers they can only be glad
that she has been permitted to lay life's bur-
dens down.
To the recreant husband the end has not
yet come, but no one who has lived long
enough to see the inevitable results Of such
transgressions, or who has faith in divine JUS

the innocent woman who was his sacred

TIE L1ouoR LEAGUES SCHEME,

The Liquor League and saloonists in this
city are trying in their peculiar way to man.
ufacture public sentiment in favor of their
business We say in their peculiar way. If
they were wise they would pursue different
course. There are some kinds of business
which ought to keep as much as possible cut
Of public view and public discussion. Such
= business is the manufacture of drunkards,
criminals aud paupers. These classes are not
desirable in any community, and the ma
chinery and appliances for creating them are
not apt to be popular outside Of the classes
themselves and those who profit directly or
indirectly, by manufacturing them. The
business may be tolerated, but decent, law
abiding people can neither be driven nor
soaked into regarding it in any other hight
than necessary evil AS such it should be
Snbjected to restrictions and penalties com.
rnensurate with the nature of the CASE
an be brought to enforce. And if it were
rise 1t would submit to every reasonable re-
triction without protest, and without antag-
Inizing public opinion. It is not business
whose inherent merits are calculated to make
It grow in public favor by discussion. AS
politics 60, and as our law-making bodies are
generally constituted, there is little danger of
The liquor interest being subjected to un-
Nsasonably severe restrictions Certainly it is
not SO under the present law, even if it were
Hgidly enforced. The public welfare would
be promoted if the restrictions were even
more severe, as they certainly will be if the
necessity for them continues to be Haunted in
the face of the public. Six days in the week
and seventeen hours day are enough for
the manufacture of drunkards, criminals and
paupers. Yet the Liquor League is trying to
bulldoze the public into tolerating the bust
ness seven days in the week and
twentyfou hours day. In other
words, they demand the removal of all
restrictions on their business Under the
present law they can dispense vile whisky
and adulterated beer during nearly twice as
many hours as any legitimate business re-
guires and this for six days in the week.
They can dispense poison from S o'clock in
the morning until IL o'clock at night, batting
the before breakfast tippler with an early
worm cocktail, and plying belated loafer
at night with yariously drugged rotations full
of next morning headaches But they are
not satisfied with this; they want to sell after
IL O'Clock at night, and all day Sunday. and,
because the law says they shall not, and the
officers whose duty it is propose TO enforce the
law, the Liquor League and saloon keepers
have virtually declared war against every
Legitimate business in the city That is
their way of creating public sympathy. Pos
sibly the Journal may be mistaken, but it
ventures the opinion that it is a queer way.

was at the bat. Two men were cut. Two

He swung his bat. Would he miss it? The
excitement was painful. There was quick,
