ONCE more the kindly arm of the
law has been thrown about a rascal
who, in addition to this speciality,
was also banker in Colorado. Act
ing In the dual capacity of rascal and
banker he had taken deposits when
he knew his concern was insolvent.
HIS victims took him into court and
then the Judge pronounced the
statute making this, particular method
Of theft a felony unconstitutional,
meaning possibly that it was repug-
nant to the constitution of the man
at bar. The information that the
Judge had no deposits in the wreck
is perhaps not relevant. Everybody
knows that this could not influence q
decision OF the bench one way or the
other.

A PROMINENT young man in Mil
waukee killed his flancee, with her
consent, and then himself, because
the lady's parents, who were wealthy,
objected to the union. The tragedy
was so unnecessary that the element
OF pity is almost eliminated. This
is a free country, in matrimony as
we'll as in other matters, and the
right sort of couple, after respect
fully soliciting the consent of par
ents, will go and get married anyway
At any rate, there is nothing to pre-
vent such action, and even the OF
posing parents would prefer it to
double murder.

What Is Heart Failure?

We really wish our esteemed con-
temporaries, the doctors, would ex-
plain to us exactly what they mean
when they say that So-and-so has died
of heart failure, says the Washington
Post. OF course, we know in general
way that a citizen dies when his heart
comes to determined stop, and no
doubt that contamination might. be
loosely described as heart failure on
the ground that it is the reverse OF
heart activity. But the term Is now
employed as though it described some
specific complaint, like consumption,
or Bright's disease, or diphthera; and
we. are building UP within ourselves a
yearning curiosity to know just what
it means.
Mr.. Thompson, we will say, is a
large man of liberal ways Of life, with
ford complexion. jocund nose,
and coming appetite for rum and
water. He Gates with catholic taste
and Brobdignagian energy. He drinks
as does the painting hart which finds
an unexpected fountain in the desert.
Some fine day Thompson dies with
his boots on. so to speak; that is to
say, he reaches for his glass Of hot
whisky toddy, misses 1t, and passes.
Several eminent physicians gaze up
on the cavader, wag their heads mourn

and long, built like tuning-fork,
and equipped inside Of him much like
the crane of song and story. He eats
little, drinks less, and mirrors his
generation in a bilious eye. Some
body leaves the door ajar and Joskins
blows out through the chink into
another world. Doctors come ano
ponder over him and say Heart fail

We do not understand 1t. We wisf

The argument most frequently
urged in favor of changing inaugu-

The Little Maine Town Where Nearly All

"The little town of Camden, Me-,
ought to have its name changed tc
Hope" said dealer in ship supplies
and stores to New York Sun man,
"for it turns out more of the emblems
of hope than all the other places In
this country combined. All OF the
stately ships that come out of the
Maine shipyards look to that little
village on the PenobscOt for their
anchors. Scores of sturdy smiths swing
their hammers day after day all the
year long in the black, smoky, long,
low Camden shops, where only
anchors are forged. Sometimes the
triphammers are going all night
about the FORCES, and the blazing Of
the fires and the ring of the hammers
are seen and heard miles away.
Thousands Of tons of old iron are
purchased by these queer establish
ments every year, for anchors are
forged largely from cast-off iron. The
material is cut into small pieces by
great shears that clip through the

bundles by strong wires, and are then
fused in the FORCES. Then they are

parts Of the anchor, some workmen
fashioning the rings, others shaping
the hukes, others hammering out the
palms. and others forging the shanks
Then the completers take the diff r
ent parts and fuse and weld them in
to the finished anchor. Anchors Of
all sizes and weights are turned out
from the noisy shops Of Camden, the
graceful little pleasure-boat anchor,
weighing but few pounds, as well
as the great 1000 and $4,000 pound
anchors of the biggest ships.
There are many interesting relics
at Camden in the line of rusty and
broken anchors that did duty in their
day on famous merchant vessels, his.
toric war ships, and sturdy whalers.
