A Holiday DisapprOvaI.

Upon this joyous holiday
l love the man content to say
"A merry Christmas. sir, to you"
And that is all I'd have him do.
But he who on a Christmas morn
Doth puff his cheek to wind a horn,
Or amble with unsteady jog.
Because. forsooth, Of much eggnog;
Who doth with clamor wild and great
Explode firearms to celebrate,
And wake the town with midnight yell,
And much delight to ring a bell
For him the words | seek in vain
My deep aversion to explain:
And so | quit him on the spot,
And simply say Il love him not"

DON'T COUGH

Stop it with SCOTS emulsion

A little coughing is nothing
the tickling, that makes you
cough once, is some dust; not
the least harm. You scratch
an itch, and forget it. This
cough is scratching an itch.
But the cough, that hangs on
and comes back, is the sign of
an itch that hangs on and
comes back. There is some
thing that makes that itch.
Inflammation: a germ per-

grow if you let it, especially
in children.

DEATH OF JUDGE HUBBELL
At One Time Wealthy and Prominent He
Loses Most of His Property.


Houghton, Mich, Oct. 10. = Judge
Jay A. Hubbell, chairman OF the ma
tional Republican congressional COM
mittee in the Garfield campaign, i've
times representative in congress from
this district, and an honored resident
of HOughton for more than foxy years,
died Saturday afternoon, aged II. 1t
was just twenty years ago that Hub
bell was the chairman of the Repub-
lican congressional committee, mem
Der of congress, an able lawyer, and
well off in the worlds goods. Political
bad luck first struck him, and he lost
his seat in the house.
Then he moved to Boston and in
vested heavily in the Santa Fe copper
mine and lost every penny he had
ventured. He closed up his mining af-
fairs and returned to Houghton to en-
gage in state politics and to practice
law. Three years ago, while he was Il
district judge of Michigan, he was
caught in the failure of a friend whose
notes he had indorSed. To make good
his contracts he sold his stock in the
Calumet and Hecla, realizing $500 per
share. This stock afterward went up
to $3.50, and today is quoted at S145.
IN this transaction Hubbell lost about
S15O.000, almost all of the remnant of
his fortune
His wife died somewhat more than
year ago. Only week before last Mrs.
Leasing Kargar, his beloved and cid
est daughter. passed away. Mrs. Har-
ry Z. Smith, his youngest child, is
critically i'll in the south and her huS-
band is at deaths door. Hubben was
a native of Avon, Mich. He was grad
uated from the University of Michi-
gan in 1853 and was admitted to the
bar in 1855. He was district attorney
of the upper peninsula from 1857 to
1859, and in 1860 he removed 10 Hough-
ton.
On his return TO this city from Bos-
ton he was elected Il member of the
state senate. While in that body he
secured an appropriation for the Mich
igan College of Mines, and he donated
a site. This school is now one of the
best in America. Ten years ago he
was elected judge of the Thirty-first
district and was reelected. His term
expired in January of the present year.

Springfield, Ills, Oct. 15.-In the cir
cult court Saturday two corporations
against which actions in debt had been
brought under the Illinois antitrust
law confessed their failure to make the
report required by the law. BY agree
meut a judgment for $50 was assessed
against each. The corporations are the
Springfield Cooperative Coal Mining
companyand the McCaskey& Holcomb
Coal company, both of this city. So far
as the states attorney of Sangamon
county is informed these are the first
companies in Illinois to pay penalty
Cor failing to report under the law, al
though several hundred have been re-
ported as delinquent.
The section of law under which the
judgments We're obtained is an amend
ment to the antitrust law and was
adopted some seven years ago. 1t re-
quireS all corporations in the state to
file with the secretary of state an an
nual affidavit to the effect that they
have not violated the antitrust law by
joining any combination in restraint of
trade. For a long time the requirement
of the statute was regarded as uncOn-
StitUtional and no effort was made TO
enforce it.
Determined to See About II.
After Attorney General Akin came
into office he decided to test the stat
ute. and when the secretary of state
certified to him a long listof delinquent
companies, he sent the names to the
states attorney of the counties in
which the corporations are located and
directed them to bring proceedings.
Among the first suits brought were
those in SangamOn county. The old
question of the laws constitutionality
was Immediately raised before Judge
James A. Creighton, and it was taken
under advisement in the hope that the
supreme court would decide Il case in
which the law was involved. After
waiting for Il reasonable length of time
for Il decision from the higher tribunal
the judge decided that the law was
constitutional. and that the proSecu-
lions should 90 forward.

Husband of Suicide Sees His Mistake
When 1t Is Too Late

When 1t Is Too Late
Chicago, Oct. 15.-Penitent and be-
moaning his folly for quarreling with
and leaving her. Philip Hardy, whose
wife, Sophie, early Thursday morning
committed suicide at her home, 1920
Wabash avenue by shooting herself in
the heart, took a last view of the wo-
man and then went about trying TO
raise enough money to give her de-
cent but plain burial. y corOner's jury
in the morning rendered verdict OF
suicide while temporarily 6eranged.
The trouble was the result of the
woman's Jealousy. Because he was moi
as devoted TO he ras he was during
their courtship she began to suspect
that another woman was the cause OF
her husbands neglect. This resulted
in the quarrel, and shortly after Hardy
left home. In a few days n message
purporting to come from New York
was received by Mrs. Hardy. 1t an
rfOunced his intention of committing
suicide. Stricken with remOrse and be-
lieving her heretofore devoted husband
would carry out his act. Mrs. Hardy
resolved to die, never doubling the
truth of the telegram she received.

every one not masked. All offenders

men, fined Il small amount for char
ity. locked up and painted and then
released.
