A HARD hearted judge down in
Trenton, New Jersey, refused d.
vorce the other day to man who
applied to get separated from a terri
BILE scold of a wife. In the decree
refusing the divorce the judge says:
'"There is no doubt that the wife is a
woman Of violent temper, and she
does not atte -,pt to restrain herself
to the language Of modesty and good
taste at times Of excitement, but this
alone does not establish extreme
cruelty. 1t may be that it was bad
taste in the husband in selecting such
woman for a wife," The trouble is
that men cannot always tell before
hand about the scolding qualities of
the woman. They are often so
angelic and bewitching before mar
riage that men are deceived. Posi-
bly, in the above case, the woman was
sweet tempered when she married and
he developed the scolding propensity
in her by his brutality or ugliness.

The effort to secure the pardon of
the Younger boys for the part they
took in the famous Northtield raid
and murder of score of years ago has
taken such shape that it is to be for
mally brought before the state board
of pardons at it's meeting on July II.
Cole and Jim Younger have served
twenty-one years in the penitentiary
at Stillwater-a period as long as the
average life sentence, and powerful
influence in their behalf is to be
exerted. The Youngers are doing
we'll right where they are. We be-
lieve that the general sentiment of
the whole state is firmly opposed to
their pardon at present.

Worthington Advance: Evangelist
G. N. Hunt is hard aud faithful
worker in the cause of Righteousness,
and If the people in this city who
manifested their determination and
signified their Intention to do so by
standing publicly in testimony of
their sincerity, stand for their cause,
there will be more christian spirit de-
veloped in the future than in the past
of late. He illustrated the passages
of Scripture so plainly as to reach
the heart OF every person within
the hearing Of his voice.
Minneapolis Journal: It will be
sharp politics between Nelson and
Tawney for the next two or three
years. Tawney's work upon the ways
and means committee has brought
him prominently to the front and
should the new tariff bill be success
full will greatly add to his reputation.
II he can keep himself as prominently
to the front until Nelson comes up
for reelection as he has for the past
year he will give that gentleman one
of the biggest fights he ever had. It
is possible that Tawney may enter the
race for the governorship as it would
be stepping stone to the senate.
Chicago Interior: Twenty years
ago it was often true that young
man who drank beer or wine, or
even whiskey in moderation might
be advanced to places of greater trust
and responsibility. 1t is now scarcely
possible. The habit is simply fata
to success. do not believe there is
Ia single reputable house. in Chicago
where an employee who drinks in
toxicants Of any kind has anything
like an even chance for promotion.
The taking Of single glass of beer
may, and often does mean, losing the
chance of life time. Brainy boys,
young men, teetotalers from priciple,
are plenty enough to fill all the places
in the line OF promotion.

Prospective mothers are wonderfully
strengthened and maintained in body

scription. Taken as early as possible
during the expectant time it imparts
health and vigor to the entire system and
elastic power and endurance to the deli
cate organism specially concerned. It
shortens confinement; frees delivery
from all danger and from most of its
pain; gives recuperative energy to the
mother and insures a healthy supply of
nourishment for the child.
Any special weakness or disease of the
feminine organism is completely cured
by DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It
is the only medicine for woman prepared

physician and specialist.
