No Corrective Like the Rod.

The Indianapolis News discusses
the subject of whipping as a punish
ment, brought about by the fact that
the city courts there have been prac-
ticing plan of suspending fines for
certain juvenile Offenses in case par
ent of the convicted child would give
him a good "trouncing" in the pres
ence of the court. The plan has
worked admirably and the News says:
sit has been demonstrated that there
is no such corrective for juvenile Of
lenses, at least in most cases, as the
rod.

A LESSON FOR CHICAGO.

The voters of New York have
served notice on Chicago, the second
city in the nation, that its citizens
can have good government if they
want it.
The Democratic organization of
Chicago under the management of
Burke and Harrison has patterned
after Tammany, adopting as far as
possible all the reprehensible sIbter-
fuges and tactics of Croker and his
subalterns until today it is the worst
governed city in the United States
and the voters are abjectly crying
1--WE cannot help it," New York
voters have shown that they can help
it and Chicago voters should heed this
object lesson.
This overbearing corrupt ring rule
had reached the stage in Chicago that
it was actually believed, by those con-
trolling, that the democratic forces of
the two big cities named would be
most potential in shaping the policy
and nominations of democracy in 1904
and that Carter Harrison, the weak
mayor of Chicago, would be the DEM
Ocratic nominee for vice president, if
indeed he did not grasp the highest
nomination. But the voters of New
York have knocked all those close and
corrupt corporation plans higher than
Gilderoy'S kite. And for this every
body who wants good government will
give thanks.

The retail business of Plymouth
during the first ten mouths of 1901
exceeds that of the entire previous
year, and in that year it was greater
than in the one before. And the dod-
dering dickey of the Independent says
patroniziDgly that during the last
seven or eight months Plymouth has
been locking up. A cubbyhole sheet
naturally has cubbynole ideas of things.

FUNERAL GRAFTON BY TWAIN
Humosist Gives Characteristic Discourse
on Downfall of Tammany.

Mark Twain delivered funeral
Grafton on the death of Tammany at
a meeting of the Acorn club THURSDAY
He said:
"Instead of carrying New York by
great majority it seems to me a
strange thing that Tammany got a
single vote. Almost the entire pull
pit, almost the whole press, all the
women's organizations-yes, every
moral force in the city and through
out the union was arrayed against
Tammany hall. Tammany is dead
and there is no use to blackguard a
corpse.
''The election makes me think of a
story OF a man who was dying. He
had only two minutes to live, so he
sent for clergyman and asked him:
where is the best place to 60 to?, He
was undecided about it, so the min
lister told him that each place had its
advantages-hea for climate and
the other place for society,""
After burst of laughter and ap-
plause Mr.. Clemens continues:
'But although this is meeting for
jubilation, it is one for sorrow, too.
Tammany is dead and there is wailing
in the land. We have met here to
attend the funeral. We miss a few
familiar faces now. 1t is long fare

dler, selling ice to the poor at 6Ocents

specter, the shadow of shadow, the
fragment of unsolicited space. Good
by to Bird Gardiner, with his peculiar
Tammmany-like motto Of TO h

kind of reform in that direction. If
he wants to follow he knows the rad.
"Good-by to BisserJ, with his unique

McKinley's memory was the real
motive force of the republican VIC
tory. The industrial and manufact-
uring interests realized the importance
of maintaining the policies outlined
by the dead executive and the people
at large felt that President Roosevelt
should be upheld in his promises to
continue McKinley'S policies. 1t is a
triumph for Mckinley dead and Roose-
Welt living.

The Sugar refining trust is work

The Sugar refining trust is work
ing the democratic newspapers to Sc
cure the free entrance of foreign
sugars into our ports. This saves the
sugar trust from paying the duty so
that they can make larger profit on
their refined sugars. 1t is strange
that the democratic newspapers will
permit themselves to be used for this
purpose VIXEN they pretend to have
such a holy horror of trusts.

featured for Napoleon in 1906. It's

date of its manufacture there can be
no question, since it is clearly indi-
Gated by red mark on the back of
each piece.
Whether the emperor used it much
or little is not known, but after his
death it passed into the possession of
his heirs and thus in time became the
property of Louis Napoleon. During
his reign it remained in Paris, but
after his death it was purchased by an
Austrian merchant from the executors
of his estate at Chiselhurst, in Eng
land The Austrian took it to Vienna
and soon received a handsome offer
for it from firm of jewelers. in Mexico
City which he accepted. The new
owners retained it in their possession
for several years, but finally disposed
of it to Mr.. F. B. McKercher, assistant
general manager of the Mexican Cen

For the last few years many ad-
mirers of Napoleon in Europe and
elsewhere have been wondering what
became of his beautiful tea set, and
the news of its being located has at

THE CARE OF GEMS.
Diamonds Require Gentle Treatment
and Care to Remain Sound
and Brilliant.

The best of all jewel boxes are not
the satin-lined, velvet-covered ones in
which the jewelers. alluringly display
their wares, but alright cases simply
lined with wool. Even in such a re-
ceptacle diamonds should be wrapped
in siIversmith's tissue paper to keep
them of exquisite briIliancy.
Diamonds, in spite of their hardness,
must be treated with great care.
Though they can hardly be scratched,
they nevertheless chip, and when
roughly used are easily ioosened in
their setting, and fall out at the most
unexpected moment. When they are
sent to be cleaned the expert first tests
the settings, and then dips the ring
or pin repeatedly into a little eau de
cologne. a powerful magnifying glass
is used to detect any foreign bodies
in the setting, and an ornament that
has an accumulation of dust, grease
or soap on its under side, blemish
that is often noticeab BILE in rings, is
dipped alternately in soapsuds and eau
de cologne, and a very fine soft camel
hair brush pointed like pencil is en-
ployed to reach delicately between the
claws of the setting. When the jewel
is thoroughly clean it is buried in a
jar of fine sawdust to dry. This is all
done after the gold or silver mounting
has been carefully rubbed with jewel
ers' rouge, dried and polished with
tiny chamois-covered pad.
When diamonds and turquoises are
set together the most exquisite care
is taken that alcohol only is utilized
with whiting to clean both the setting
and the diamonds, and as little moist
ure as possible is allowed to come near
the blue stones. If a turquoise has
been carelessly treated, and is turning
green from the effects of water, the
cleaner sets it to soak in stale beer,
which treatment will frequently re-
store the pure azure color. But old
turquoises that are nearly green have
a value all their own.
Pearls require a great deal of hu-
man companionship, and that is why
they are so constantly worn by their
owners. When they are ''sick" Ito use
a technical term) they are given sun
baths, and sometimes are sunk in the
sea in perforated caskets to be re-
stored to health and Iuster. Pearls
held in a warm, dry hand and drawn
slowly backward and forward through
the half-closed member are benefited.
Some women have their pearls re-
strung every season, and when the
owner cannot arrange to wear fine
string of these gems at least-once a
fortnight the cleaner lays them in a
cup of warm flour or lukewarm fresh
milk to keep their skins in good order.
Experts test real diamonds by touch
ing them with the tip of their tongue.
Diamonds are icy cold; paste is not.
Real pearls they can differentiate from
false, it is said, by the touch of their
finger tips, for the skin of the real
pearl has a feeling peculiar to itself.

THEY were standing together be-
fore a wide eXpanse of canvas.
The woman studied the painting and

known her for a year and yet he
knew her not at all. The rugged out
side of the business-woman life was

If it was sham, why did she not do
more of it? Certainly it was charm

dulge in it so little.
And yet again, if it were not real,
how could she stand so fascinated be-
fore such a picture-a mass of pine
tops against a dim night sky, the
trunks lost in the darkness. Low
bands of clouds lay above, and riding

MATRIMONIAL FIRMS.
Why Husband and Wife Should Be
Familiar with Each Others
Business Affairs

Husband and wife should always con-
slider themselves members of matri-
monial firm, and both should be famil-
lar with ali business secrets. If they
would recognize the fact that they are
business partners, and that each
should know the financial standing of
the frm-their debts and their assets
many of the troubles of matrimonial
life would be avoided.
It is exceedingly hard for a man to
find his wife spending money-prob-
ably very hardly earned-on some
bauble or luxury which he would not
feel justified in buying for her, unless
his income were double what it is. The
chances are that he reproves her for
her recklessness and eXtravag ance,
thereby rousing her indignation and
very likely laying himself open to the
charge of stinginess, and also of in
justice.
It is quite probable that instead of
being stingy he is rather overindulgent
to her, but it is very likely that he has
not treated her justly. He has never
thought of her as his business partner,
and, though he has given her the right
to handle a certain amount of his
money, he has not explained to her
exactly how he stands financially.
Instead of having any secrets re-
garding money matters, there should
be entire frankness between husband
and wife from the very first. The wife,
as Junior partner, will have keen in
terest in increasing the prosperity of
the firm, and not only will misunder-
standings be avoided, but the bond of
mission will be strengthened between
her and her husband in mutual conf
dence and advice concerning the house

Elsie Packer, aged 16, innocent and
unsuspecting, was sent from Lucas,
this state, to Denver, Col, by her
mother to marry Tom Starlzy, former
" of Lucas. Starkey was notified of
the girls presence in Denver to mar

never dreamed of, marrying her. It
was learned that the Packer girl was

hope of getting rid of her, as she
(the mother) was recently married.
