Count de p mad been raised BY
Bonaparte TO honors and dignities, but
for some unaccountable reason he be-
trayed the confidence which his patron
had reposed IN him. WheE Bonaparte
became cognizant Of the mans treach-
cry, he ordered him to be arrested. He
was to have been tried the following
day and in all probability he would
have been condemned, as his guilt was
fully established. In the meantime
Mime. de P solicited and obtained
an audience Of the emperor.
II am very sorry for your sake, ma
dame, he said, chat your husband
should be mixed up in an affair which
places his ingratitu1e in so glaring a
light. .
Perhaps he is not SO guilty as your
majesty supposes. . said the countess.

letter out Of his pocket and handing it

fell into a swoon. When she came
around, Bonaparte put the letter into
her hands, saying:
"Take it, This is the only legal evil
dence that exists against your husband.
There is lighted fire behind You. "
The countess quickly snatched up the
important document and threw it into
the flames P--'s life was saved, but
as for his honor, not all the influence of
a generous emperor could avail to restore

Glad to See Him.

New members of congress feel shy and
lonesome. To be thrust suddenly in
among almost 400 members, many of
whom they have never seen, and only a
few of whom they have ever heard of,
is rather trying experience. To make
a speech under these conditions takes
some courage. James Kerr, ex-member
of congress from Pennsylvania, recently
told of his experience in going into con-
gress for the first time. He came down
from Pennsylvania raw and green. He
sat in his seat for several days, and in
that time managed to pick up formal
speaking acquaintance with one or two
of his neighbors. One day he was sitting
in his seat, disconsolate, listening to the
reading OF some tiresome bill, when the
member who sat next to him, who had
served two terms, came in like breeze
and said cheerily:
Hello, Jim. ?
Mr.. Kerr wheeled in his chair and
said eagerly:
Say that again, will you, old man?
1t sounds like home
Well, Jim, let's go down to Murray
vile and talk about home.
The reference to Murrayville is unin-
telligible to the outsider, but Mr.. Kerr
had learned by that time that the name
referred TO the house restaurant, where
oysters and the cup that cheers were to
be had, and they wended their way
down stairs. New York Tribune

In these days of war plays and stage
realism the sound of hoof beats is worked
into pretty nearly every melodrama.

PERsPEcTIYE VIEW

Srn science says a well constituted and
fully equipped schoolhouse ought to be.
The schoolhouse is necessity In it the
tender bodies and thoughts of the young
are to be nurtured and cultivated and the
foundations laid in their minds to enable
them to travel and pass through life alone.
The schoolhouse is also the bulwark of
American institutions, the foundation of
stability that marks the superstructure of
Independence and makes it staple and last
ing, and in the erection of this class of
buildings nothing but the best and most
lasting should be aimed at, and TO accom-
plish this the Importance of the project
must be fully understood and appreciated
by those who are responsible, and it is the
plain duty of all members of boards of ed.
ucation, superintendent, principals, mem
beers of governments of cities, Commission
ers, etc, to sink all personal friendship or
selffshness TO the best interests of the prof

Reg: Buxton preached les, ouuuuy
- in the Christian church CD
Suicide" and reviewed to- some sx-
tent the lecture on that subject BY Col
r. G.. IngersOll Rev. Baton said
many good things, but left unOaid, and
unlimited at even, that suicides art
caused mainly by bad social Condi'
tlons. Modern christian civilization
is responsible for this evil. Our social
system intensifles the struggle for *
istance as much as and probably more
than, any other social system since the
creation of man. People ara made to
feel that they are not safe in moder'
ate circumstances They see all
around them men worth from $4,000
to $4,000 come to want in few
months. They feel that they and their
children are not safe until they have
acquired milli"ns of dollars. Then
they go to Europe to live and hire the
geDOlOgisSs to hunt up family pedi'
gree, and get their daughters married
to some poor, worthless, titled nobOd-
irs and the unfortunate girls soon find
out that life IS not worth living.
But, for every one whe succeeds in
becoming Il millionaire, hundred
thousand become financial wrecks, and
reach crisis where they have to choose
between starving, begging, the poor
house, life Of crimes or suicide. So
we find as the preacher said the sui
cides are increasing and crimes Of all
kinds are increasing, Murder has in
creased from ,44O in 1886 to 10, 500 In
1895!
This is what results from a social
system whose tendency is to make the
rice very rich and the poor very poor.
This is what results from our mOnOpO-
listic social system. 1t is the social
system that is to blame and not the
suicide.
How can these evils be cured? We
believe the first step that should be
taken is one to put check upon
Il purely representative government
aud establish direct legis alton by
means of the initiative and referen
dunn. Representative government is,
and always Will be, corrupt govern
ment. Corporations always will buy
up and legislatures and secure from
them unjust laws. We must fix it 80
that the majority of the people can
pass laws without representatives, and
defeat all bad laws passed by their
representatives. When this is done
we will soon get better laws.
In the mean time let it be under
stood that social conditions are 80 bad
that probably majority of the people
do not think life worth living. This il
why suicides are increasing. MAXI
life worth living to u majority of thu
people and it will do more to stOI
sucide than preaching against it. ~
