have the first hit" "You have no
right to spoil another mans game, as

time was when he gave away as other

Do you want to know what wrought
the change? For twenty-five years
this mar has stood between his wife
and all that might give her the slight
est worry. No matter what the load
he was bearing, he has never failed to
wear into her presence a smiling face
Whatever emotions might be surgine
underneath, he has appeared calm and
placid on the surface. This frail be-

Self-control was born Of that twenty
i've years of devotion. There you have
the whole explanation Of what is SO
admirable in McKinley's character"

TO PAY BONDS.

Bonds Made q Legal Obligation.
West Superior, Wis.,, Aug. 7.-Bust-
ness men are all stirred up over the
plan of the administration to refund
the city's bonded Indebtedness and is
sue new twenty-year bonds. The idea
is to pay up bonds for which funds
can be scraped together and refund
the rest as a 'lien on posterity." Many
taxpayers construe it as an attempt to
make them pay illegal bonds. Many
city bonds, If this project does not
carry, are likely to be repudiated by
suance, saving hundreds of thousands
to the taxpayers.
