would pay handsomely IN Clinton.

and above all, irregularity of the bowels.
The mercy you extend to the afflicted

LETTING GO HANDS.
One of Those Unhappy Happenings That
Make Observers Feel Sad.


Two friends of mine, couple who had
been married for twenty years, came to the
conclusion that marriage was failure for
them. They agreed upon divorce
Years before, the man had been well
off, but had lost everything through specu-
lation. He took to drink and soon desen-
Grated to worthless burden upon the
wife, who supported the family by taking
boarders.
For ten years these two had lived to-
gether in the same house, the estrangement
widening as the husbands folly increased,
until she could endure it no longer. The
papers were made out and the day came
when he was to leave the home he had
made so wretched.
/ happened to be witness to their part
ing. There was no one in the house at
the time but we three.
She picked up his shirts and collars,
which she had that day ironed with her
own hands, and he stood on the threshold
with the parcel under his arm, besides a
trunk which contained his other personal
belongings.
Scarce word was spoken. Both seemed
to feel that crisis in their lives had
come.
For twenty years these two had been to-
gether, through light and shade, in good
fortune and i'll, and now they were to part
forever. Twenty years before, buoyant
with youth and hope and confidence in
each other, these two had linked their
lives together. They had come to look
alike, SO potent had been the force of asso-
citation.
What touching memories must have
surged through both their hearts as they
stood thus, she leaning against the stair
way in the hall, and he standing on the
doorstep with the dusky twilight closing
in about him, as if to emphasize the dark
ness of the future years.
The hour seemed strangely in keeping
with his strange parting. There are mo-
ments so tragic in life that speech is
dumbly inadequate. This was one of
them
"Have-I-got--eye erything--Annie ?"
he slowly said, in a dazed way, as he
turned toward the door.
"All but this, Frank-do you want it ?"
and she handed him packet of faded let
tiers tied with q crumpled ribbon.
He turned pale as corpse, as If not I'M
til that instant realizing all the parting
meant. He looked at the packet, slowly
united the iibbon and wound it about his
hand, his whole frame trembling yio-
lently.
"Keep them-Annie-fo mew he
sobbed, made one conyulsive step toward
the woman, then turned and walked out
into the night.
And she?
Well, an hour later stepped softly
into the hallway, alarmed at the deathly
silence. Still leaning against the stairway
she stood, the letters clutched tightly in
her trigid hand, her eyes strained out
upon the night as if they saw the ghosts
Of bygone days when faith and happiness
were hers That look will haunt me for
ever.-B0Ston Commercial.

to ask, "who owns this country" and the
answer will not be doubtful. The great
trunk line of railway in Canadian terri
tory practically belongs to England, and
she can and will prevent any competing
parallel line from being constructed; joint
ly with her the Dominion Government
has aided the road to such an extent that
it can never repay, and thus it is held it
hostage for the loyalty of Canada. The
interests of the road and its connections
viii thus be potential in Canadian politics,
and It's influence will be exerted in the
direction that favors the dominance Of
the English in their dependent colonies on
this continent The bonds of trade are of
the most tenacious character, and these in
the case of England and Canada have been
doubled and quadrupled by system ofsub-
sides to Canadian lines, that interweaves
so much of English interest into the scheme
of commanding the transcontinental trade
and setting the empire of territory along
the Canadian Pacific and north of it,
that there never will be, in all probability,
any severance of the bonds. Canada will
remain part of Great Britain because
whatever her future desire, she will be
unable to express it, much less to put it
into execution for the commercial reasons
given, to say nothing whatever of the mil
itary reasons that can be advanced, and
which England has mingled with the
whole scheme of its concessions, grants and
subsidies for Canadian development.

as of working. Dress this up to suit your
self, and send me map of our blessed
Our Naturalization Laws a Farce.

One of the first things which Congress
should do is to amend our naturalization
laws. One of the requirements now Is
that an applicant for citizenship shall be
acquainted with our Constitution and laws
and honestly desire to be loyal thereto.
He must prove this, together with the fact
of his residing in this country for five
years by two witnesses.
1t is well known that many foreigners
become citizens who are anarchists, and
hate our Constitution and our laws. This
otf-hand and hasty manner in which our
Courts hear these applications is where the
defect in cur present law appears
An applicant gets a couple of fellows
who are ready TO swear they know the APP
plicant, and have known him for FIVE
years; they slip into the Court during the
a few minutes, and he orders the papers
issued on the statement of these men,
whom, perhaps, no one in the Courtroom
knows. No notice of the application has
been given to anyone, and the people have
no protection against the admission TO cit
izenship of the worst enemies of our sys-
TEN of government.
The Herald holds that such applications
should be made reasonable time before
term Of Court, and publication in news
paper should be made that such appli-
cation is to be made, SO the people might
have the right to file objections and pre-
vent disloyal men from becoming citizens.
1t should be made the duty of the States
attorney to investigate the proofs care
fully and be heard on behalf of the people
against such application in case it is proper
to make objections.
We may harp as we like about the
sacred right of being an American citizen,
but we treat it under our present laws as
the cheapest thing which Courts have the
power to control. A man cannot get pay
for sheep killed by dogs as easy or with as
little proof as he can clothe himself with
that citizenship, to the protection of which
the entire civil, military and naval power
of the Nation is pledged.
The lessons of the past few years, many
of them written in blood, should be needed
by our statesmen, and at least the barriers
above suggested be placed about the cita-
del of citizenship Champagne County Her.
