raving. but blessing the hand that
sought her life. knelt by her side
when the breath had left her lips for
ever, I asked the physician to explain
the mystery of her life.
"Few know" he said, "the story of
her life, but it is familiar to me, and
has been for months past. She vol
unteered to nurse the sick at the hos
pital, and while there she confided to
me her melancholy story. The man
who murdered her is her husband.
He is gambler. He made her young
life miserable-treated her like dog.
She was beautiful as you can see now.
Driven to despair by his cruelty, she
listened to the persuasions of a man
who had known and loved her before
marriage with this fellow, and finally
fled with him to a distant state. Her
old love for this brute returning, and
perhaps the desire to see her children
again, she returned and sought for
giveness. Few know what she suf-
Tered; few know what good she has
accomplished. To those who did not
know her she was woman of mys
terry. and her somber habiliments,
her visits to the sick, her vigils by the
dead, her hidden life aroused the fear
and superstition Of ignorant. She
has kept as close to this man as
she could for two years past,
for he had hidden away her two chill
dren and she doubtless hoped to OBJ
tain from him some information OF
them. Besides. as said, she loved
him. 1t is u strange tale OF sinand
suffering and love and sorrow"
He ceased, and as we folded the
white hands prayer-wise over the
silent bosom, said:
"She has loved and suffered much,
ana should be much forgiven. At

He Concluded to Live.

1t isa strange fact that the average
newspaper man is superstitious to a
degree. Why this should be so no
one knows. One of the craft, who
looks to be healthy enough, was
around town on his work the other
day and he ran across Frank Hill,
Chicago's coffin king, who was at one
time at the head of the i'll fated Thir-
teen club. In the course of chat
with a few mutual friends the scribe
ventured the opinion that he would
not live long. Every one laughed at
such a hallucination on his part and
tried to cheer him up. Finally Mr..
Hill came to the rescue and took
hand in the discussion. He regarded
the matter from a business point OF
view. Don't die so soon, my boy"
he urged. "You just wait until our
new spring style OF casket.comes out
and then I'll give you daisy at first
cost" Hereupon the scribe gave up
the idea OF dying and concluded to
live. He did not want a business
matter made oft.

order that his cows might sustain
lie browsing on the green leaves.
The animals were ALWAYS hungry
and he had great trouble in driving
them away to keep the oaks from
falling on them. A few days ago
there was a thunder storm and be-
fore it began to rain there was
clap OF thunder that sounded exact
ly like a tree falling. Mr.. McGuire's
entire herd of cows rushed frantical.

the tree had fallen. Another and an.
other clap followed in rapid success.

hill country, where they supposed
trees were being cut down. Not one
of them has been seen since. :.

The Heat of the Sun.
From Good Words.

From Good Words.
There seems to be sufficient reason
for the belief that the heat ut present
emitted from the sun is neither great
err norless than that which our lumin-
airy used to dispense ages ago. Where
the vine and the olive now grow the
vine and the olive were growing twen-
ty centuries back. We must not, how
ever, place too strong a reliance on
the deduction from such q fact.
Darwin has taught us how, by natur-
al selection an organism can preserve
it's adaptation notwithstanding the
gradual change of the surrounding
conditions. The facts, however, fail
to show any grounds for imagining
that there have been changes in the
climates of the earth within historic
times.
We have geological evidence as to
the character of the climates which
prevailed at remote antiquity far
earlier than any historical testimony.
The records of the rocks show us un-
questionably that our Clio be has pass
ed through many striking vicissitudes
of heat and cold. Those records de-
monstrate that there have been Pc

regions of this globe were desolated

Bound to Have That Shoe,

An elegant coupe drawn by pair
of Sayly caparisoned horses turned
into Fourth avenue, coming east
from Broadway by the way ofTwen-
ty-third street. On the box were
coachman and footman as we'll
groomed and as stylishly bedecked
as the steeds who drew milady COM
fortably ensconed inside the coupe
Milady, by the way, was particu-
larry pretty young woman, with an
aristocratic bearing.
AS the cnrriage swept by the Lyce-
UNI theatre the fair patrician leaned
out Of the window and SAID few
words to the coachman, who prompt.
ly turned his horses and stopped
them in the middle of the street. The
moment the horses stood still the
door was opened by milady herself,
who, with quick word to the foot
man tn keep his place, set a dainty
loot plump into the nasty mud, and
STOPPING down, deity raised a worn
horse shoe from the mire and placed
it upon the box. Then, with II nod
to the coachman, she entered her car
riage again, and the handsome equip
age dashed off in the direction Of
Madison square.
1t was another case of the super.
stition that horseshoes found by
chance bring good luck if actually
picked up and preserved by the tort
unate finder.-New York Herald.

West Pointers Never Smile.

Now, strange as it may seem, smil-
ing is something totally against the
rules. No man ever dreams of smil-
ing at anything, no matter how lu-
dicrous, when he has been in the West
Point academy a few weeks. The
face is required to have a stony, ex.
pressionless stare, the eyes fixed as if
in a trance, gazing on futurity. The
head is thrown back. the arms held
rigidly, the body straight, and this
is the attitude OF attention., which
is expected to be the normal condi-
ton ola cadet, except when speaking
with his own or with lower class
men.-Cor. Philade. 0hia Times.

REAPPORTIONMENT.

On the basis of the census Of 1880,
the number of representatives was
fixed ut 325-a ratio Of Isl ,9l7 to each
member. The admission of now states
however, will increase the member
ship, and the matter will soon receive
the attention OF congress and the
country. When Idaho and wyoming
shall have chosen members, the num-
ber Of representatives will be 338, but
taking 81, 5OO, 600 - IN estimate for
the population. the ratio to each rel {.
resentative will be 10000. On the
other hand, s.,ould the reapportion-
ment be made on the present basiS, the
house will have 425 members. Here is
where the shoe pinches. The New
England states would be out down in
their number OF Representatives and
the West, which has been steadily
gaining in population. would have an
increase. The six New England stat. q
that now have 26 members would have
but 19 or 70, aud other eastern states
would be similarly affected.
Hence, we may look for . strong
controversy. Our eastern congress-
men will naturally be opposed to a re-
ducti0n in numbers, even though their
z representative proportion 10 not inter.
rered with.and will oppose an increase
of. ratio.
Tie house is considered bv many to
be already too unwieldy with it's 1926
members, and yet the theory of the
constitution is to the effect that the
lower house of congress should repre-.
sent the people in proportion to num-
bers, their states sovereignty being
equally represented In the sen .te. Bui
rs each state is entitled to Q mem-
b"r regardless of its population,
equality on the basis of population
can only be obtained by taking the
state having the smallest population
rs Il standard. This plan would give
us 1,O75 members. New York being en-
titled to 100, This seems ridiculous,
but New York with it's 5000. 900 Of
people on a par in the senate with the
sc. 600 in Wyoming, will hardly con-
sent to have tho inequality Of repre-:
sentation extended by offsetting the
60. 1000 by zoe, 900 in the house.

and the more populous ones.-Cedar

THE FLAX CROP AND PROTEC-
TION.

Il will be prudent for the fax raisers
of the northwest to consider with care
before they commit themselves against
the policy of protection. We copy the
following timely and truthful article
from tho Sioux City Journal on this
point:
lone of the most profitable and con-
venient crops now raised by tho farm
ers of the northwest is the flax crop. It
II the best grain to cultivate on new
broken sod. 1t is in the direction of
the diversification Of farm products in
this section. And it is needless to say
that the cultivation OF this crop has in
recent years been the means Of saving
farmers oftentimes from positive loss.
It is we'll to remember that the fax
crop is almost totally dependent upon
the protection afforded to it by the
tariff. But for tine duty of 20 per cent:
on imported fax seed 1t would I've i'm
possible to raise the crop in the north
west-certa,nly impossible to raise 1t
to any considerable extent.
: The immense acreage of flax in Iowa:
Minnesota, South Dakota and Ne
braska is cultivated almost exclusively
for the seed. The only market for the
seed is afforded by the oil mills which
have been established in various points
In the north west: For example, one
of the largest oil mills in the world is
located at Sioux City. And this sp1en.
did chain of manufactures work up, In
the very netghborhood of the farm, the
raw materials produced thereon; and
not only supply the home demand for
oil, but also export an immense amount
Of it abroad. It Is saperauous to urge
tho advantage Of this condition TO the
general agricultural interests of the
northwest.
But flax seed can be produced in
India and laid down in New York or 1T
any of the seaboard cities for less than
the cost of its production in the north
west. India is a great producer of
flax, and even as it is, with the 20 per
cent. duty, Indian seed is imported in
considerable quantity to this country.
1t there had been no duty on fax the
entire oil supply of this country would
have been made from imported 1nfian
seed. And it would have been worked
up exclusively by mills located on or
near the eastern seaboard. It is im-
possible to transport the raw product
to the west before working it up.
Tie Mills bill in the last congress
proposed to put flax seed on the free
list. That obviously meant that the
oil industry must leave the west, for
the western mills could not compete
with mills located on the seaboard and
using the Indian flax Neither could
they import the Indian seed. The
stopping of the western oil mills, Of
course, would mean the stopping Of the
western flax crop.
Western farmers do not want any
thing of the sort. This is An applica-
tion of the doctrine of protection,
which they not only endorse, but de-
mand. They demand more such ap-
plicntions of it, Aud, by the way, one
Of the few articles on which the Nc
Kinley bill proposed an increased duty
was certain products Of the fax plant,
with view to stimulating this class
Of domestic manufactures.
The west simply wants a larger share
of protection-better protection rs ap-
piled to its own interests"
