WHY THE PAPER DIED.
1t Was Too Conscientious For This
Wicked, Wicked World,

Wicked, Wicked World.
This Is French story---of Louis Blanc,
who, as tho world knows, was the most
incorporating man In the world and
the most conscientious He spent about
half his life In prison because he would
say what he thought was right regardless
of consequences to himself In one of the
brief intervals when he YVES out of prison,
and when his popularity ron high, a
paper, lHomme Libre, was started for
him. Flo was mado tho sole responsible
head Of it, One day he took the paper Up
as soon as 1t came out, and his eye hap
pened to fall on a conspicuous advertise
ment, which read thus:
"Tho best pills are KS pills"
Blanc oalled his secrotairo do la redao-
ton, who was as near to being business
manager as the paper had, showed him
the lad" and said to him:
Don't you think we are taking q good
deal on ourselves in making that state
ment?"
"Why, what do you mean, sir9" the
man asked puzzled.
"How do you know that KS pills
are better than anybody's olse's pillsS"
demanded Blanc. "Havo you taken them
all?"
"No, sir"
"Then what Justification have we In
attempting to guarantee the superiority
OF one kind Of pills."
but it's an advertisement, and all pa
pers do the same"
"What all papers do is no guide to us.
Let us make no statement that We arc not
perfectly sure Of. Let this statement not
appear againr'
The advertisement did not appear
again-nor for that matter did any adver-
tisoments appear very long in the paper,
Conducted on so careful basis Homma
Librc proved too bright and good for hu.
man natures daily food. But it died .

Mrs. Hurst May Ask for Divorce.

II Washinsto ton, June THE news
of the separation of Bishop Hurst
and his young wife is confirmed by
an advertisement in local evening
paper conveying certain property
on Massachusetts, avenue to Mahlon
Ashford, trustee for Ella Root
Hurst.
There will be no legal steps TAX
en- by Mrs. Hurst for divorce I'M
Hess the bishops future actions give
what she regards as justification
lin his strong desire to bring about
Ia reconciliation, the bishop has, ac-
cording to the story told by his
friends and congregation, sent a
peremptory order to Paris demand
ling that Mrs. Hurst recognize his
authority as a husband and forth
with return to him.
In the event of this demand being
obeyed, it is said the bishop will
then assert his right to the possess
sion of their 3-year-old son. 1t will
only be when this measure is re-
sorted to that Mrs. Hurst will enter
formal legal proceedings for a sepa-
ration of divorce.
AS may be imagined, this us a
state of affairs which the bishop
desires of all things to avert.
Should a suit for divorce be entered
against him, it will eriously lmper-
Ill his standing in the church. and
lit is already whispered among the
'Methodists that the granting of a
divorce would mean that another
Chancellor OF the American univer-
;sity will reign in the place of Bishop
Hurst, who has since the inception
of the university idea, held that
position.
To-day the sign "For Sale has
been placarded on the Hurst house
and the furniture now remaining in
the house will be boxed and sent to
Mrs. Hurst's former home in Buff
falo.
The bishops grief at leaving the
fine residence which he has occupied
ever since his marriage, was great
For several weeks prior to his de-
parture he walked the main hall In
cessantly, wandering in and out OF
handsomely furnished drawing
rooms.
Bishop Hurst has four children
by his first marriage-three sons
and the daughter now with him..
One of these sons, Carl Bailey Hurst,
is United States Consul to Vienna,
and has been in the city within the
past week for a visit to his father.
Another son is a second lieutenant
IN the army.
