A SisterIy Remedy.

There are more ways of killing dog
than by hanging him, and there are more
ways of curing a man than by giving him
medicine, says the New York Sun. Al
least there is another way OF restoring a
feminine invalid to health and strength,
If the experience of a certain young Wo-
man of THIS city is to count for anything.
This young woman is most attractive
creature, bright, pretty, anna BILE. ANY
man might be proud TO win her, but no
one has succeeded so far. She has mar
red sister, however, and has often ex-
pressed her fOndneSS and admiration for
her brother-in-law in enthusiastic terms.
All of which is a part of the story.
Not long ago the married sister had a
serious Illness, and the young woman did
a large and devoted share of the nursing.
Everything that care and medical skill
could devise was done for the invalid, but
she remained an invalid in spite of 1t all.
Day after day she grew teebler, and day
after day she limited more strongly that
she was not long for this world. The
young woman, of course, bolStered up her
sister with encouragement and tonlcs
three times a day. but the sister still in
sisted that it wasn't any use. Finally she
got to a point where she was so very low
IN her mind that she called the young wo-
man to her bedside one day, and in voice
choked with emotion said:
Don't try to hide it from me any long
err Grace! It's got to come, and I'm re-
conciled-or l hope l am. But before L go
L want you to promise me one thing"
Now, stop talking such nonsense"

is another bottle of tonic and good

know. L tell you L am going to die, and

you"

humoring her sister for the time.

wept bitterly.
Don you worry about Ned! I'll see
that he doesn't go out of the family"
The invalid started dashed away her
tears and gazed at her sister as if she
could not believe that she had heard
Alright.
What do you mean?' she demanded.
an keep him where 1 can take care of
him, dear. Thatn be all right. Don't you
worry"
The invalid stared for minute. then
she said in a business-like tone:
You mean thing! I'll see that you
dont!' and with that she began rapid
recovery.

A mob came near lynching him and the
widows son was barely prevented from
shooting him. on Monday last it was
shown beyond doubt that this was a
case OF mistaken identity. The real Grim
mails were discovered and confessed.
1t may be said that this was one case
in thousand. How is it known that it
was? Who is there who can deny that

find that they are, and will punish them.
Lynch law should have no place in a civil

We cry out against laws which tend to
necessity. We are so welded to the states
rights idea, and a very good idea it is, as
! a rule, that we are slow in making re-
forms which appear to encroach upon
those rights. What are we going to do
about the evils which grow out of the diff
ferences in the divorce laws of the various
states? How are we going to remedy
them? We cannot, apparently, get the
states to agree to change their divorce
laws, so that the laws shall be practical
~ The same in all the states. But some
thing ought to be done, and the only thing
that appears to be feasible is a national
divorce law. The sentiment in favor of
such a law is increasing. and ia view of
the great number of divorce scandals, it
ought to Increase.
In some of the new states the courts do
fiourish.ng divorce business. Their
dockets are full of divorce cases the par
ties to which are residents of other states
It is such an easy matter to get divorce
in these states that they have almost a
monopoly of the divorce business.
Last Friday Judge Russell, of the su-
preme court of New York. rendered a de-
cision TO the effect that divorce OBJ
tanned in North Dakota by a woman
who had gone to that state for the pur-
pose of obtaining divorce, did not multi
fy her marriage which had been contract
ed in New York. This woman had mar
ried again, after procuring her divorce
but, according to Judge Russell by the
laws of New York, she is st.n the legal
wife in that state Of the man from whom
she was divorced by the North Dakota
court. When in Dakota she has only
one husband but in New York she has
two.
How about property rights and the in
terests of children in the foregoing case,
if there are any? Is it not apparent that
from such divorces innocent persons are
liable to suffer grievous wrongs? The
New York court refuses to recognize
North Dakota divorces in many instances,
because it is evident they were procured
by fraud and deceit.
Ihere ought to be remedy for this
state of affairs. and it ought to be pro-
vided soon. 1t is quite evident that there
is no intention on the part of the states
which have bad divorce laws to reform
them, unless all the states engage in a
reform movement. They have had ample
opportunity to do so and have done moth
ing. Therefore the states ought to adopt
an interstate divorce law, or congress
ought to take hold of the matter and bring
order out of chaos. The divorce scandal
is becoming almost an every day occur
renee.
