man, who in her early life had decided
dramatic talent. Her natural fondness
for animals developed after her childless
marriage into mania for poodles. Two
in particular were treated like children.
There were nurses for them and every
possible attention. One doggie died
and was cremated; another, spe-
cial idol, was as well gathered
to its fathers. This pet was also
cremated, and for long time

SOME FRANK STATEMENTS.
Dr., H p Torsey Defines His Political
Position.
kENrs HILI., April %, 1888.

Mr.. EpIroR,
Dear Sir:-Allow me the personal favor
of answering through your paper a few
questions from my friends with regard to
political matters
am pressed to know if | favor the tenn
perance political organization. and if not,
why not.
Nv answer is. | believe more can be done
for temperance in the Republican party than
out of il.
1t is well known that the nomination of our
candidates is generally secured by few
prompt, energetic men in our primary eau
cuses. The third party men invariably say
to me: I'VE were Republicans, good and
true, but have gone ont of the party to work
for the good cause" And when | ask did
you, while members of the Republican party,
do your best to secure the right nominations:
Did you ever attend caucus where the
selection of candidates are determined"
And the reply is always in the negative. And
yet they bitterly blame the members of the
Republican party for not doing what they
utterly failed to do, and have left the party
because others have failed 10 do what they
failed TO do. II. Z. ToRsEY.
