A Forgotten Senator.

Chicago Times Denver Letter.
Ex-senator Tabor's luck seems to cling to
him. Another girl to the house Of Tabor. 1t
is said there was corner on cut flowers the
day following the advent Of the little stranger
and that most of them found their way to the
mansion on Capitol Hill. This good fortune
and rise OF two and one-half points in
"Matchless" induced the Senator's warmest
smiles. The evil predictions of a few years
since that Tabor's luck was on the wane and
that he would soon be as poor as in the old cor
ner grocery days Of Leadville seem in bad way
to be verified.

Masonry and the LIQUOR Trade.

At recent meeting Of the Masonic Grand
lodge OF Nebraska a rule was adopted which
prohibits saloon keeker from being . Mason
or remaining in the order if he continues the
business. 1t has just leaked out that Lincoln
lodge has begun the work of purging the order
of members engaged in that business. Charges
were preferred about six weeks ago against
three prominent members of the order in Lin
coin who were engaged in liquor selling, and at
recent meeting of the lodge, after an all
night session, they were expelled from the
order. This is the first case under the rule. 1t
is understood that like prosecutions will be be-
gun all over the state

He Couldn't Tell.

From tho Milwaukee Wisconsin
A late respected general manager of the st.
Paul road on one occasion appeared at the re-
pair shops Of the company in Milwaukee and
becoming interested in the work Of one Of the
mechanics remarked: "Young man, it seems
to me you are not doing that correctly" The
workman looked up with supreme contempt a,
the stranger and replied promptly: cts none
Of your business, you blamed IDIOT" This net
tied the old man and in a voice trembling with
rage he paralyzed the mechanic with: eyes
sir, it ID my business; I'm the manager Of thii
road" Excuse me, sir" responded the poor
fellow, II was not aware Of the fact; but you
see when darned fool comes around here We
can't tell whether he is the manager or no
body The old gentleman saw the point and
passed on

DEATH OF MRS. sOUTHwORTH.
Her Last Prayer was the Familiar
"Now I Lay Me-"

The only other occupant Of the cell besides
the mother Of Mrs. Southworth. when the be-
trayed woman died yesterday, as stated in The
STAs- was one Of the prisoners, . girl called
Blanche Cunningham, who mas nursed Mrs.
Southworth with great affection and patience
during the last days Of her life with the fdel-
ity Of an old friend About 10 o'clock Mrs.
southworth rallied and with the assistance of
Blanche Cunningham was raised up on the
couch. Turning to her mother she said: II
know am going TO die-and I'm willing TO-
l am perfectly resigned to it and would not ex-
change it now for health"
Then she asked her mother to come closer
and the mother bent over the bed. Mrs.
Southworth threw her arms around her
mothers neck and resting her head on her
shoulder whispered that she would like to
spoken words, and it had no reference to her
suffering, her crime or her past life. She re-
peated SIMPLY the prayer that is taught to
little children. 1t was:
Now lay me down to Sleep
And Il j die before wake, ''
pray the Lord my soul to take"
After she had repeated these lines she be-
came unconscious and lay in stupor until she
died. Her death was painless. She had once
Deen beautiful woman, and q photograph
which her friends have of her as she was be-
fore her association with Pettus reveals the
beauty which fascinated the man, but as she
lay upon her cot last night there was not the
slightest trace of a resemblance to the woman
this picture shows her to have been three years
ago. The legal authorities are rejoiced that
they have escaped the painful duty of prose-
cutting woman with the stamp of death upon
her, and there is general feeling that the end
OF THIS tragedy Is the best conclusion of 1t.

Customs Of the Eskimo.

Like the Indians the Eskimos often kill the
old. Often the old are tired OF life and beg to
be dispatched. Hfood is scarce they are turned
out to starve, whether they like it or not The
superfuous women are also disposed of in this
way. Barbarian shows itself in their treatment
of the dead The body of favorite wife or
child is sometimes protected through the win
ter and decently buried in the spring but as a
general rule corpses are dragged short dis
lance from the village and abandoned to the
dogs. The savages have no idea of the mar
riage relation. Women are treated as chattels
The number Of wives a man may have is regu-
lated not by his possessions, as among the
Mormons, but by his ability to manage women.
One infers from this that polygamy is not car
ried on to any great extent
