that often entails an awful price.
Bearing this in mind veteran

unique method Of impressing this les

the story:
81 want my son to be sportsman,
so that when he gets to be as old as
his father he may have as many
pleasant memories to look back to.
Therefore, on his sixteenth birthday I
gave him Il rifle. And instead Of read

up a job on him that would be far more
effective. After he had spent a couple
of hours fondling it and cleaning it

think that only the badness of his aim

saved me from death. The lesson he
learned will last him through life, be-

Last Saturday hight the friends and
admirers of Miss Nellie Morrow gath
cred at the home of John Cozine to
give her farewell entertainment and
wish her God speed and good luck in
the coming years. Friendship is like
golden threads that stretch forth
from place to place and when one
leaves, are severed, never uniting to
any other but always floating until
the one returns.
Wednesday night the people about
Ross gathered at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Rutherford to spend the
evening in those things that tighten
the burdens of life, drive away the
blues and make time pass more pleas
antly. Both these estimable people
are perfectly at home when enter
tanning their friends, and their
friends departed, they did so with
light hearts and buoyant spirits.
Does friendship lose its charm or
neighbors grow less dear when ties
are to be broken and severed? The
appearance of those who gathered at
the Robert Morrow home Tuesday
afternoon would not indicate such.
This estimable family are soon to
leave and their neighbors knew of no
better way of showing their appre-
citation, than call and give them day
long to be remembered as one of the
times in their life that would ever
after stand out promeint. They have
all worked together and been kind to
one another and the assembled friends
left him rocking chair and her
a nice water set to recall Ross friends
in days to come.

THE EXPERTS THEORY.
It Was Too Inclusive and Weakened
Him az Witness.

One Of the older members of the Bal
timore bar tells this anecdote of the
late Severn ,reaclle Wallis as illustrat-
ing The cleverness and sarcasm Of Mr.
Wallis:
Mr.. Wallis was defending the will of
wealthy testator, and, as the lawyers
say, when the estate is large a lawyer
"will wrestle with will with a will''
A prominent physician was called to
testify for those contesting the will.
The doctor became restless under the
lengthy and exhaustive cross examina-
ton of Mr.. Wallis, and finally he petu-
lantly eXclaimed:
ooh, Mr.. Wallis, believe the tesla
tor was insanev
Mr.. Wallis kept his temper and said
quietly: Doctor you are the first per-
son who has ever intimated in or out
of court that the testator was insane
Why do you say he was insane"
II believe" the doctor replied, "that
every man is more or less insane on
some one subject"
''Is 1t your deliberate professional
opinion" Mr.. Wallis then asked, Eek
pressed here in court under oath, that
every man is more or less insane on
some subjectY'
yes" the doctor replied; 81 will say
here under oath that from my reading,
knowledge and experience I believe
that every man is more or less insane
on some one subject"
Then Mr.. Wallis said in that fine
tone of sarcasm for which he was not
ed, doctor, has it ever occurred to you
that you arc insane on the subject of
insanity?'
Immediately the doctor fired up and
exclaimed, But. Mr. Wallis, am not
! insanew
Mr.. Wallis arose and said: doctor
according to your own sworn theory
you must be insane on some subject. l
pronounce you insane on the subject of
insanity"
! Court, jury and spectators laughed
aloud, and nothing more was said about
the testator being insane-Baltimorc

the prior announcement, Kansas had

Minnesota .O42 per cent the best of it.

Initiative and Referendum.

One of the Western reform papers
endum system, which is in successful
operation, most notably in Switzerland,
and has proved benefit to every other
country and town where adopted. 1t says:
There can be no doubt that government
by representation is, under the present
system, neither representative nor effec-
tive. Occasionally the people succeed in
procuring reforms and improvements that
they demand, but usually they are gained
by tortuous and expensive course. The
repeated failures of our legislatures and
of our city councils to fulfill their pledges
and to perform the peoples bidding have
sufficiently demonstrated that there are
radical faults and discrepancies in the
present system.
can hardly be doubted that we should
find little difficulty in securing much
needed reforms
The principle of the referendum cannot
be gainsaid; it has been too long recog-
nized by American states in connection
with constitutional amendments, and, we
believe, has proved an almost entirely
satisfactory safety valve for the preven-
ton of much INSCRIPTIONS and imprudent
legislation. Would not the power to
compel submission of all vital questions
of legislation to direct vote of the peo-
pie provide yet another safety valve?
While we do not believe that the practice
of direct legislation would prove to be
panacea for the ills of misgovernment to
which communities are heirs, we are sat-
isfed, in the light of presidents in the
government of New England towns and
in the administration of Switzerland,
which has earned the title of 'the ideal
republic" that there would be no danger,
but on the contrary, much benefit by the
application of the expression of the
peoples will If we do not entirely SUBJ
scribe to the adage, "Vox Populi, Vox
Del" yet we do emphatically believe that
city and state should be governed by the
fullest possible use of the general intel
ligence of the people.

A contemporary bemoans the indus
trial conditions of the times in the fol-
lowing manner, but fails to suggest any
thing feasible looking toward their
betterment:
1t is discoraging to have to admit that
the twentieth century, which promises so
much in many respects-so much in the
way of scientific discovery, of educational
progress, of practical philanthropy, of
improvement in the means of living, or
additions to the comforts of life and in
many other ways-seems to hold out no
prospect of permanent industrial peace.
Great as the prosperity of the country is,
it is materially lessened and retarded by
the perpetual war between capital and
labor, and by the efforts of each, through
combination and organization, to get ad,
vantage over the other. 1t is time these
two great interests should stop warning
Their continued hostility is not only
order and to the welfare of the country.
The leaders on both sides are wrong in
adhering to stubborn and uncompromis-
ing methods. They are wrong in adher-
ing to selfish policies. They should get
out of the unnatural attitude of hostility
into which they have worked themselves.
Their interests are identical, and if they
would deal justly and fairly with each
other the chronic war between them
would end. We need industrial peace
not merely as an indispensable requisite
for complete national prosperity, but as a
safeguard against other evils. If present
conditions continue, they will grow worse,
and perpetual war between labor and
capital may lead to war of another kind.

feet which spouted I 900 gallons of water

Engle is situated in the heart of the

"T'hese articles arc of great Importance
to me- TIC sold.
a short time" She laughed gleefully
as she spoke She turned to a closet
at one end of the room to bring the
required garments.
First, let me examine the closet"
said Buckford.
He convinced himself that there was
no hidden exit.
In leaving his chair and going to the
door of the closet he missed witness
ing peculiar, indescribable smile that
played for the moment ON the face Of
Nine. du Barry.
In Nine. du Barry's mind there were
flashing thoughts almost as rapidly as
had been the case with Buckford's.
She had at no time doubted that he
was an agent of police. She lived day
and night in dread of these prosecutors
Of her kind. She did not doubt his
story that he had searched her house
and found the prisoner gone.
But she did doubt his story that
Vandal was intending to desert her.
She had been Vandars friend too long
to doubt him now.
She cared little for Casparin, Reber
or Robello. But she must save Vandal,
her lover.
She was smiling at the simplicity Of
this agent of police. He was going to
wear one of her dresses and track
Vandal. She could describe the dress
to Vandal, and the police agent would
fall victim to his own trap.
She took a new and somewhat gay
gown from the wardrobe. At some
new and convulsng thought her face
twitched with Ill disguised mirth.
Buckford saw this.
At his command she continued to
bring forth various portions OF q wo-
mans complete outfit.
He took off his own shoes and put on
a pair of Nine. du Barry's, which fitted
very well. though pretty tight for q
young man who loved comfort.
"Never mind" he said. at will give
me m!ncing gait"
Nine. du Barry laughed.
"Now, madame, a small valise, IL
you have one"
Nine. du Barry had almost every
thing. She produced valise.
Into this Buckford packed his coat,
vest and such small items as collars,
scarf, cuffs, all of which he still wore,
as they had not been taken from him
In the depot. They WERE to be sure,
much soiled and bedraggled. But he
did not know when he might need
them before he could purchase more,
and he could easily wash them and
iron them. not as laundry sends
them home, but at least clean.
Over his trousers he put Nine. du
Barry's skirts. He then added wo-
mans vest front and waist and
fastened Nine. du Barry's little silk
tie at his throat.
One thing was in his favor. He had
neither beard nor mustache.
A slight growth of hair could be
seen on his lip, but no more than Nine.
du Barry's own.
Nine. du Barry, choking with laugh
ter, since the affair had become so good
joke, exclusively her own, fastened
some false hair to his head, first tying
knots in his own to make safe hold
for the fastenings. A bonnet completed
the disguise, though gloves. fan and
other accessories were all at hand.
In point of fact Buckford, after Nine,
du Barry had added hundred fem
mime touches that he would never have
thought of, made younger and hand
