NOT AN IMPULSlvE GIRL,

She Discussed the Situation Calmly and
Showed Her Wisdom.
George" said the young woman re-
gretfully, but with determination,
your remarks pain me, but I am no
weak creature who gives away to her
feelings upon slight provocation. That
is not the modern girls method; she is
trained in a different school. AS l un-
derstand it you have decided to break
the engagement"
He bowed his head to signify that
she was right.
''All is over between us, according to
your statement. We can never be to
each other what we had hoped. There
are obstacles and all that"
"Yes," he replied slowly. THAT is
it."
Here in this ROOM, in which you
proposed, and in which we have spent
SO many happy hours, you tell me
that she said in a business-like way.
"Have you thought of the possible
cost?"
HIS merely shrugged his shoulders.
Suppose l should sue for breach of
promise?" she suggested.
He laughed at that.
"You haven't a word in my hand
writing" he said.
POSSIBLY not" she replied, with a
glance toward the corner of tho room;
shut 1 have something better than
that" She took him by the hand and
led him to the corner. Twill you lis
ten if l start it?' she asked.
HAS it-a-a," he began.
''It has been here all the time,' she
said coldly.
For a moment he hesitated. Then
he turned to her and exclaimed fer.
vently:
"Mary, forget what 1 have just said.
I was th%oughtless, foolish! I would
not lose you for the world! Be mine!"
And when he left that evening she
laughed softly to herself and said: II
told father I'd land him sure, if he'd
only buy me a phonograph."-Chicago

Fashion Notes.

A princesse costume of seal-brown
silk is made with a guimpe arrange
ment at the shoulders. An inner waist
has leg-o'-mutton sleeves of the silk,
with a yoke and sleeve ruf1es of but
%ter-colored embroidery on silk null.
A gauze ribbon collar is worn, with a
bow at one side; and from the under
arm seams of the waist sash-ends of
null to match the yoke fall to the hem
of the skirt. These are plain, with the
exception of about th%ree-fourths of a
yard at the lower ends, where they are
a mas of rich embroidery One may
have a parasol absolutely plain or
trimmed to the verge of absurdity with
puffs and rufaes and ribbons and be
quite in fashion. A style as pretty as
any is a plain silk, with a very full
ruhe of lace at the edge. There is no
way to improve upon this, and it is un-
q~uestionably the most becoming of all
models, as it makes a charming back
ground for a pretty face and softens
the Irregularities of an ugly one.-N.

Chicago Opinion About Public Revenue.
In no other country in the world
could a loss Of public revenue Of $50,
600. 600 or $50, 600, 600 in consequence OF
q judicial decision be received with the
serenity that marks American opinion
In relation to the annulment of the in
come tax.
Nowhere was this serenity more
marked than In Chicago. The Times
Herald presented yesterday morning
the views Of representative citizens OF
ali parties, avocations and walks in
life. Nearly every man was able to
point without hesitation to one or sev-
eral easy modes by which adequate
funds would be derived for the govern
ment.
John ]. Mitchell suggests the issu-
snce of popular small bonds bearing
low interest. Charles L. Hutchinson
favor an internal reveuue tax on bank
checks, drafts, etc. G. B. Shaw ap-
proves issuance Of bonds with increase
of the tax on whisky, tobacco and
beer. Byron L. Smith would tax lux
uries at ports of entry. Charles Hen
rotin, while approving the income tax,
found an easy alternative for the gov
eminent in borrowing until congress
shall meet. John j. Hamline would
return to = protective tariff.
]. j. p. Odell thinks the people de.
sire to see the operation of the present
tariff before making any radical
changes, and meanwhile the govern
ment can borrow money. He would
also increase the tax on beer, with .
impost on tea, coffee and sugar.
+. s Winston would place the heaviest
tax on champagne and Havana cigars
and the lirhtest on the necessaries OF
life, in which he includes beer. Frank
Wenter would put . duty on Injuries,
but not on raw materials used in man
I. a. Moran thinks there
be an increase in the tax on
whisky, tobacco and beer, and . stamp
tax on checks and other commercial
paper. Marshall Fisld would put q cent

enough. 81 . barrel on beer. W.. A. Vim

JAMES w. SCOTT.

/ We are grieved to announce the
death from apoplexy Of j. w. Scott
which occurred at the Holland House
New York city, last Sunday. Mr.
Scott was the owner of the Times
Herald and Evening Post, of Chicago
and was making extraordinary prog
ress to the top round of the jou rnal
istic ladder. In his loss the American
press loses one of the most brilliant
and distinguished representatives of
the present age. His success as a
newspaper man is almost unequalled,
having started in journalism when a
mere boy and kept advancing step by
step until at last he was recogniz ed
as a leader and power in the city of
Chicago. He was at one time offer ed
year for five years by Zoe
Pulitzer to manage the New York
World, but refused, which videnc es
the great worth of his jou rnalistic
brain. He was an able, sine ere and
independent leader in public opinion.
There was no newspaper man in the
world better known than J. \ Y. Scott,
md no one gave or took harde knocks
n daily journalism. He ws S born in
Nalworth county, Wisconsin AN June,
$40. In 1876 he married n llss Carrie
1reen, of Lyle, ILL.,, who SUI wives him.

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation;
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance. ;,

Wood Pulp.

More than SO per cent of the saw
mill owners to-day could make more
money to sell their logs to be manu-
featured into wood pulp and paper
than they can possibly expect to Sc
cure through sales of the same in the
form of manufactured lumber indus
try.
One factor in the pulp and paper
business is not always recognized by
the owners of spruce forests. When
pulp mill grinds up million feet
of logs into paper product, and the
same is sold to the great newspaper
corporations and printed upon day
after day, that paper practically goes
out of existence. Few think of say
ing newspaper. The individual
newspaper reader throws his paper
after reading into the waste basket OF
kindles fire with it, sc it becomes
the property Of the old junk dealer,
and practically passes out of exist
ence. On the other hand, the piece
Of lumber which is manufactured
goes into substantial building,
which lasts for generations. So that
the. great consumption of spruce for
pulp and paper really amounts to SO
much raw material taken out of the
market forever, and practically vast
ed SO far as any subsequent use to
which it may be applied is concerned.
