A Young, and the newspapers say,
handsome Cleveland wife, adopted
somewhat unusual plan of punish
ing her husband for leaving her
alone MIG hts. When Mr.. Arthur
Burrows entered his residence the
other night after attending the thea
ire alone, he found his wife lying
on the floor bound and gagged &.
When released she explained that
burglars entered the house during
his absence and after tying her took
$I.5o from her purse. The hus-
band, of course, was truly repentant
and the wife WAS happy until the
detectives began working on the
case and wrenched from Mrs. Bur
rows the admission that she did the
work herself in order to cure her
husband of night rowing. Now
they never kiss as they part at the

The ChurubuscO Truth gives its read
ers the following problem to solve:
Now, who lost? A banker saunter.
ing home for his dinner saw SO bill
lying on the curbstone, Of course he
pick ed it up and took the number 10
order to find the owner. While at
home, his wife remarked that the
butcher had sent a bill in amounting
to so. The only money he had with
him was the bill he had found, which
he gave to her and she gave it to the
butcher. The butcher paid it to the
farmer for calf and the farmer paid
it TO the merch ant who in turn paid
the washerwoman, and she owing the
banker a note of so, went to the bank
and paid the note. The banker recog-
nized the bill as the one he had found
and which up to that time, had settled
$50 of debts. On careful examina-
ton he found the bill was counterfeit.
Now will some of our financial friends
tell us what has been lost in this trans
action and by whom, if any.

The Indianapolis Sentinel affrms
positively that voting machine has
been discovered which has been
shown by actual test to meet all
reasonable requirements and which
it is believed will not easily get out
of repair. Among the arguments
offered in favor of the machine re-
ferred to are that it preserves the
secrecy of the ballot, as desired the
count is made when the vote is
ended, saving the delay and the ex-
pense of the count, and lessening
the chances of classifying of the re-
turns it practically prevents falsify-
ing of the returns, even by the con-
sent of the whole board, as much
so as a cash register would it pre-
vents spelling ballots by mistake
and affords facilities for voting
mixed tickets it prevents mutilation
of ballots, as well as distinguishing
marks; and the speed of voting is
greatly increased.

A suggestion that the vIce-pres.
ident should participate in cabinet
meetings is being discussed in some
quarters as if constitutional amend
ment or act of congress would be
necessary to legalize it. This is a
mistake. What is called "the cab
met" is not created by law. The
phrase unconstitutional advisers of
the president" is convenient enough,
but not found in any law. Cabinet
meetings are not required to be held.
The president may call the heads of
departments together as often or as
seldom as he chooses, and if he
wants the vice president to attend
the meetings he can invite him at
any time. 1t would be pretty good
training for a vice president sup
posed to be in the line of succession.

Health and happiness are sacrificed

further the interest of Mammon.
The first question on the part of the
majority is, twill it pay? Every
other thing is an after consideration.
Is it right, is it just, is it honest, are
not put in the category of inquiries

no longer be the only incentive to
