before she became one Of its board of
managers, a position which she now
holds. In 1871, directly after the great
fire, Mrs. Stone organized benevolent
society of South Side women, who
worked wonders in behalf of the poor
people during the severe winter follow
ing the fire. She also organized the
Charity Organization Society"
Much of Mrs Stones later charitable
work has been confined to fostering
and promoting the interests of the
Young Women's Christian Association.
This association was organized in 1876,
and Mrs. Stone was made Vice Presi
dent the same year. In 1880 she was
elected President, an Office she filed
continuously until a few days ago.
when she felt compelled to relinquish
the position to take a much needed
rest.
Mrs. Stone is Vice President Of the
International Board of Women's Asso-
Citations for the State of Illinois, and
President of the State Board of Wom-
ems and Young Women's Christian AS
sociations of Illinois. Besides this she
holds memberships in many other
prominent charitable associations and
organizations, to which she pays a
great deal of attention. To her many
friends it is a marvel how an elderly
woman can accomplish so much.

CHAPTER XII.


With slow steps Linley crossed the
lawn; his mind gloomily absorbed in
thoughts which had never before troubled
his easy nature; thoughts heavily laden
with a burden of self-reproach. Linley
entered the shrubbery, because it happen
ed to be nearest to him.
The instant afterward he was startled
by the appearance of figure emerging
into the moonlight from the further end
of the shrubbery, and rapidly approach
ing him.

awhile

Some people gamble in love on a
mighty small margin.
You can never drown sorrow; it can
swim longer than your head can.
The only successful way a woman can
chase a man is for him to chase her.
A man can generally gauge his re-
ligion at any certain time by the way
things taste to him.
The average woman's mouth is too
large because she stretches it smiling at
women she dislikes.
Romantic love has been put away In
camphor along with the rest of our
grandmothers' things.
In every love affair there is enc wom-
an that man is trying to get and an
other that he is trying to get away
from.
Bows could grow up to be pretty SEN
sible. on the average, if their mothers
didn't have such queer notions about
what a boy ought to be.

Mount Morven.
The next day was Kitty's birthday, and
while they were all in the breakfast room
presenting their gifts to the child Linley
took occasion to whisper to Sydney:
inject me in the shrubbery in half an
hour
Incapable Of hearing what passed be-
tween them, Mrs. Presty could see that
secret understanding united her son-in-
law and the governess. She beckoned
Randall to join her at the further end Of
the room.
Il want you to do me a favor" she be-
gan. Observe Miss Westerfeld and your
brother. Look at them now
Randall obeyed. What is there to look
at?' he inquired.
"They are talking confdentially; talk
ing so that Mrs. Linley can't hear them.
Look again.
Randall fixed his eyes ON Mrs Presty,
with an expression which showed his dis
like of that lady a little too plainly. A
few moments later all except Mrs. Presty
and Randall went into the garden.

she burst out, pointing Electrically to the
door by which Linley and Sydney Wester-
field had retired. And Catherine has

They were both now sitting with their

be careful only to mention what l have

She had just got to the end of those in
trOductory words when Mrs. Linley re-
turned, by way of the library, to fetch
a forgotten parasol. She advanced a step
and took the parasol from the table. Hear

THRAsHED BY wIFEs Folks.
Or. Adolph Goodman Horsswhipped in
the Home Of a Kansas City
Millionaire.

KANSAS City, May 24.-Dr. Adolph
Goodman, osteopathist, living at l445
Independence avenue, was horsewhip-
ped last night by his father-in-law,
J. X. Beckham, and his brother-in-
law, ]. X. Beckham, Jr., at the home
Of the latter, 35l0 East Tenth street.
S. X. Beckham is the head Of the
millionaire wholesale grocery house of
Beckham, Mcknight & Co.
DIR. Goodman was made to strip
himself down to the waist line and
the whips were vigorously piled until
his body was lashed in fifty or more
places. According to the story Of DIR.
Goodman both father and son piled
the lash and when they had finished
warned him not to tell of it on pain Of
death.
The lashing was the result of the
marriage of DIR. Goodman and Miss
Mary E. Beckham on March IA and
Goodman's alleged treatment of his
wife. The marriage took place one
day when the girls father was out of
town and without his consent. After
living with her husband two months
Mrs. Goodman left him yesterday
DR.. Goodman received telephone
call from his brother-ln-law last night,
he says, and supposed his wife wanted
to see him. He went to Beckham's
house. The Beckham's, he says, COW
cred him with a shotgun and a re-
volver, compelled him to strip to the
skin and beat him with a carriage
whip until the blood ran down his
body in streams. Then with the
warning not to tell what had happen
ed he was allowed to dress and 60
away.

WHAT KEENR THINKs

The Chicago Record Herald says;
James r. Keene, who has been credit
ed with being j. Pierpont Morgan's
representative In some of the recent
sensational operations in Wall street,
was interviewed at some length the
other day by a New York reporter
Mr.. Keene freely expressed his opinion
of life and Of men. Concerning the
latter he said
"Men are bad. They're all bad.
There isn't such a thing as good
man. There isn't a man in all the
world / would trust were / a woman. =
Thus we see that even man who is
tossing millions Of dollars around in
Wall street occasionally gets time to
stop and think and carry ON intro
spectiye Investigations. Some Of the
New York preachers are loudly pro-
testing that Keene has libeled them
and various other members of the
human race. But they seem TO be
unwarrantably excited. Keene has
libeled nobody but himself-if 1t is
possible for himself to be libeled.
When a man studies humanity he
uses himself as textbook, and his
conclusions are bound TO be in accord
ance with what he finds written upon
the pages of his own life. A man who
believes in other men does so because
he believes in himself, and the man
who looks upon all other men as un-
clean is in need of scrubbing. The
hopeful man finds the world full of
hope; to the pessimist it is dismal
old hulk, forever going from bad to
worse.
Keene's declaration should in no
wise tend TO discourage men who are
endeavoring to do their best. The
world and women viii still have conf
dence in them when they deserve 1t.
The famous speculator has merely
made a parable in which his own
opinion of James r. Keene is set
forth

HOW TO GAIN FLESH

Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of Scots emulsion.
1t is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce pro

start the digestive machinery
going properly, so that the
patient is able to digest and
absorb his ordinary food, which
he could not do before, and
that is the way the gain is made.
A certain amount of flesh is
necessary for health; if you
have not got it you can get it
by taking SCOTS Emulsion.
You will find it just as use

REFERRING to the Democratic pol
icy the jefferson City Tribune, says:
"Cato Sells, a Gold Democrat, con-
spicuous as a Democratic leader in
Iowa, in recent interview said:
Developments within recent years
show how essential Democratic prin-
ciples are TO the perpetuity Of the
Republic. We should be a progressive
rather than a negative OF a pessimis-
tic party. We should show that pro-
gressive spirit which stands for deyel-
opment, but we should also combat To
the end the tendency to grant special
privileges and immunities. 1t will
require the united support fall Dem
ocrats Of the Jeffersonian school to de-
feat the influences which have builded
around Hanna rather than Mckinley.
Bryan, who is one of the best repre-
sentatives Of American citizenship,
was defeated because OF misappre-
hension that he would use the hatchet
against wealth. Hanna stood spon-
sor for Mckinley with the represen-

ganlzed for plunder, and many of the

port to Mckinley. / believe we should
select as our candidate In 1904 a big,
conservative man who was broad
guaged enough TO see In 1900 the con-
tinued domination Of Hanna was a
menace to the country and identified
himself with the protest against Re-
publican policies. He should be man
who would enlist the support. Of all
Democrats regardless Of their minor
differences. In other words, he should
be man who was loyal to the party
and its candidates in 1896 and in
1900.' Mr.. Sells puts the case for the
conservative Democrats well. If the
logic OF events in 1904 does not make
Mr.. Bryan the candidate, certainly It
would be unwise for the Democratic
party to nominate any man who failed
to vote the Democratic ticket in 1896
and 1900. To make such nomination
would be to invite defeat"

at his home, 5 miles southeast of

and Bright's disease. He leaves a
widow and six children. Deceased
was born in Virginia and has lived in

Deceased was a very large man,
while in good health, weighing 335

1t was necessary to take the corpse
from the house to place it in the cof-
fin, which was too large to be taken
through the doorway.

Rev. Harrison Fox Thursday after
noon and the remains were inferred
In Lockridge Cemetery.
