the great pain within. The story of Nora Warner had almost killed her. So long as she simply believed that there had been a great mistake in his past life-that he had welded 0 woman who had gone mad-she could still love him.
 After hearing what 6 horrible narrative Nora Warner had to tell, however, 1t seemed as though all tho dreams of her young life were shattered.
 She could not believe Roger guilty of such inhuman cruelties toward one who had been such good angel toward him and who had given him such trusting love; and yet Nora Warner had been ready to stake her very soul upon 1t. She had borne mono of the looks such as an insane person would be supposed to pos- sess, and had, in fact, seemed singularly calm, except for the excitement caused by the telling ofthe story.
 Conflicting doubts arose in the mind of the girl, and she suffered quito as much from the uncertainty of knowing the truth as from the facts themselves.
 She was not to be allowed to remain long in this state, however.
 Events were clustering about her own homo that wore destined to have much concern with her future, and she could not long remain in ignorance of them. Then her broken heart had to be up in arms against the opprcssor, and she found some relief in being able to forget for the time being that which was bear ing so heavily upon her.
 Lawrence Richmond was like tiger at bay.
 He was in the tolls of tho oppressor.

TIE REVISED STATUTES.

Within the ensuing Ter days the first
y,lume of the Revised Statutes OF
Missouri of 1889" will be distributed
by the Secretary of State. 1t is a mag
u,ficent volume of 1897 clearly printed
pages, and is finished with an index of
more THAI ordinary comprehensiveness
and interest. The most conspicuous
feature of this volume TO lawyers is
the appearance therein OF the chapter
designated in the old second volume as
.sPractice in Civil Cases." but now call
ed ''Code of Civil Procedure" and
printed in the first volume. Another
interesting feature is the complete and
perfect indexing of the Constitutions OF
the United States ana of the state CT
Missouri. together with the copious
notes and citations accompanying the
same.
The revising committee departed
boldly from the former method Of
grouping the laws according to their
connection, and adopted the newer
method OF arranging the chapters
alphabetically, regardless of their con
meeting interests. This arrangement
will the better enable the public to
locate at once any chapter, of which
hey know the designation, aud ixe'
in the memory the last letter in the firs
volume aud the first letter in the
second volume.
The committee has abundant reason
to be proud of the copious notes ant
anuotations attached to each article IL
The statutes. They are not only volumi
nous, but clear, we'll written ant
accurate, so that the non-I rofessiona
public may learn the law without be
coming lawyers.
In short. the first volume of the Re
vised Statutes o. 1889 is the bes
printed and best edited of all the vol
umes of laws which have heretofor
been published by authority of th
state, and will attract not only tn
interest, but likewise the compliment
of tue people. The work has bee
carefully and ably done throughout
and those connected with its publica
ton have every reason to be satisie
with the results of their tireless al
tremendous labors.

WHILE THE IRON Is HOT.

The Mt. Vernon Fountain and Jour-
nal, whose editor bears the classic
name of Euphrates Boucher, prints the
following az an editorial paragraph:
s.The democrats throughout this
state have begun their WORK nearly d
wear in advance. They have ueciueu
that 246, 900 republicans In Missouri
are not going TO be merely passed by.
Something has to be done, while the

The trouble with these asseVeratlons

For instance, there are no noW'

FIRST COUSINS

Burdette once said it was just as easy
to love a red-headed girl who lived i'll a
brown.stone front aud had n door-plate
as to love the nut brown maiden i'll the
lowly cottage.
Upon the same principle, 1t is as easy
to love your own first cousin as some
body else's first cousin.
Of course, IN the very nature OF
things, your own first cousin has the
advantage of continuous proximity and
the Familiarity which relationship
naturally begets. She is a sister to
you; proud OF your family because II

much apparent unseIiishness ant

this time, that il she were in reality

l. no more of kin to him than is hi
deceased wife's sister.
But the ponderous body known al
the general assembly of the state hal
taken q different view of the case.
At its recent session the Legislature
declared, with becoming solemnity
that, on and after the first day o
November, A. D., 1859, ''all marriages
between first cousins are prohibited
and declared absolutely void.' The
lawyer will tell you that, inasmuch al
the legislature forgot to attach a pen
atty for such marriages, the law
amounts only to a solemn declaration
of legislative opinion; but you cannot
catch your first cousin with any sucf
legal sophistry. She will understand a
once the blighting shadow of the prohi'
biiIon. and the penalty to her is deepeI
and heavier than if it were a hundred
lashes. She knows that such marriage
are discountensnced hereafter by TIT
state; and while che would hav'
braved an irate father and snapped heI
fingers at parental authority by elopint

no argument weighty enough to per
suade her away from the plain letter o

MEMPHIS Demonstration. Horace
Tate, of Lewis county,a straightforward
and uncomprOmising democrat, we are
informed ill be a candidate for railroad
commissioner. Hon. Mr.. Jewett, of
Shelby, is also spoken of for the same
position. Mr.. Jewett is an old war
horse and has worn democratic harness
80 long that he has the chafe marks all
over him. Either of these gentlemen
would do honor to the party in the

GEO. PLATTENBURG, a gentleman
known to all Lafayette county people,
will be a candidate for nomination as
city auditor of Kansas City on the
democratic ticket. George is serving
the people of jackson county as chief
deputy recorder of voters, and it is be
lieved he will secure the nomination he
seeks. He certainly deserves the pre-
ferment and the Kansas City democracy
could not do better than to make this
selection.

picture of health and are what may be
termed "heavy weights" The weight
of Mrs. Hennings is 205, Mrs. Smith
261, Mrs. Walker 267, and Mrs. Cat
trell 26l pounds. They are sisters of
our jolly friend Dick Brown, of Wash
ington, who by the way is somewhat OF
a heavy weight himself, will probably
tip the beam at 225. 1t is a remarkable
fact that of the family of children II
:. are living and their average weight is

ANOTHER BISHOP FOB MISSOURI

The national convention of the Epis-
copal church which has been in daily
session in New York CITY during the
past ten days, and is still in session,
decided, at its meeting on Monday, 10
divide the diocese of Missouri and give
the state another bishop, in addition to
the bishopric already held and enjoyed
by Bishop futile, at St. Louis. There
was but one dissenting voice to the
proposition, as the convention appre
ciated the necessity of giving aid to thu
immense field, now required to be GOV
cred by II man.
1t is altogether probable that tn
new bishop will be located at Kansa
City, thus making see cities of the tw'
