The citizens of our sister city of st.

occurred in their midst the night before
A man by the name of George Glover

cold in death, and from all appearances
he had hanged himself upon retiring
Glover, who resided with his sister, a
Mrs 5 T. Sharp, came to st. Louis last
fall and had been in i'll health during

no letter was left explaining why he

held up an old crumpled brown piece Of paper, over which a little ehlld's chubby finger had serawled a lot of hieroglyphics. which writing looked like a lot of hen tracks in a barnyard. Then I turned and said, you ought to be a good man with such a family of little ones.s Yes" he answered, T know I should, and, do you know, I feel that If it was not for my lovely, consecrated home and my wife's prayers and the thought that my little children are every night praying for me might yield to the many temptations of a commercial travellers life. But every time I start to do wrong my little ehildren's arms seem to cling about my neck as they cry: Don't papa. For your dear little babies sake, don't sin.
 And so in that evening hour, as the train was speeding toward my destination for featuring, I felt as l feel now l felt that, though the average commercial traveller has many sins besetting him.
 yet he is armored and helmeted from the attacks of temptations by his absent loved ones prayers The average com mereial traveller ought to be true to his gospel faith when God has given to him a lovely, consecrated, Christian home
 Oh ye knights of the grip, will you be true to the Christ who is pleading with you today to bow at his feet? Will you be true to Jesus on account of the pray CTS of your loved ones even If your con- science tells you that no prayer Is so ap- propriate for you as that of the publican, which you can utter in your own behalf?

FIFTEEN MILLIoNAIREs.
That Is All England Has and Ireland
 Has But One.

From the London Mail.
 There are only fifteen millionaires in Great Britain and one in Ireland-at least this would appear to be so from the off cial income tax returns just issued.
 According to the returns, these sixteen persons make the sum total of the indi- viduals in this country who enjoy in- comes of over e50.00O and this Is about the "mi1lionaire'' level.
 It is true that there are 1S4 people with incomes of between R1000O and a50.000 and. of course, a considerable number of these are just on the line across which they would be classed as millionaires Incomes of between f5,000 and 910. 900 are enjoyed by 424 people.
 To be an assessor of income tax one needs a heart of flint To him the world is a Dantesque inferno, filled with dolor- GUS complainings
 It Is always, "The worst year remem- Der. sir" or Hard times, very hard times;2 every year sees the nation 'on Its last financial legs"
 Unfortunately the great majority of the smaller income people have no oppor- tunity of pleading poverty. They are people with salaries, and the income tax man has access to the te1Itale wage list. But the millionaire is not a sa1aried man. For the most part he pays on an assess ment provided by himself, and the above quoted figures "give one to think"
 Down the scale the number gradually increase until the income between 4160 and f200 there are no fewer than 13S, ,456 while of smaller incomes not exempt from taxation there are 112,397.
 But there is one singular exception to this steady gradation. There are com and 9900 the number being 1889 in Great Britain, whereas the figures immediately above and below 39S5 and 2641.
 There appears, indeed, to be a strange fatality about this particular size of in- come. for we find that 1t is rare not only in the case of private persons, but also of firms, public companies and municipal corporations.
 The return gives startling evidence of the large proportion of the burden which is borne by the comparatively poor man. Of incomes between 8160. and .f200 the gross amount assessed Is e25. .9335 513; or the incomes between f200 and R300 the gross amount assessed is e24,215.614, but of incomes between R1000 and e2000 the gross amount assessed was only GS, 252, . 524
 It is interesting. to note that there are income of over 950000 bur not one in Ireland and that in Great Britain there are 656 public companies and in Ireland nineteen which have incomes of over s50,0OO.

er different proposition and it rather
Jared the senators. They called for a
reconsideration Of the confirmation and
ordered a new investigation by the
committee on the judiciary. Mean
while the president suspended the COM
mission to Daniels until determine
tion could be reached. That is the
way the matter now stands. 1t is re-
ported that there is evidence to show
that Daniels has never been in prison
and that some other man has been con-
fused with him in this matter. If this
proves to be true, he will be allowed to
take office, the other features Of his
record being considered no bar to his
advancement. But the incident shows
two things; that it is not always safe
to pick officers Of the law for bravery
in battle, and that the senate commit
tee on the judiciary cannot be depend
ed upon to make very searching in
vestigation of appointments referred to

SwITHIN THE TOWN.

Next Friday Is valentine Day.
Rev. J. C. Johnes referred to the To-
cal whisky agitation in his sermon Of
last Sunday. He reminded his hearers
Of their pledge to renounce the works
of the devil, and he said that whisky
was one Of those works. He said also
that church members are also In
large measure responsible for "blind IT,
gerism," for without the support Of
church members, blind tigers could not
flourish.
Inquiry Of the mayor and clerk OF
the town council, develops that the re-
Gently circulated petition for an elec-
ton on the question Of a dispensary
has not yet been filed. There are those
who believe that the petition will not
he filed; that the agitation was COM
menced merely with view to deter
mining whether the town, like the dog
of Scripture, Is ready to go back to Its
vomit, and as signs are not favorable,
the matter will not be pushed further.
The anti-dispensary fighters are not
especially anxious for an election, be-
caues they do not consider 1t neces-
sary; but If the issue is forced again,
they will be on hand to meet 1t.
Mayor Willis, on Monday, sentenc-
ed Jim Barber, alias Jim Smith, to the
chaingans for 60 days for selling whis-
ky in violation of the ordinance of the
town, in two cases. The case Is rath.
er peculiar one. It seems that the Ne
gro got into trouble because of his dis
honesty with his patrons. In one case
white man gave hiT so cents with
which to bring liquor. He took the
money and neglected to show up again.
The white man made 1t his business to
follow the matter up and gave the Ne
gro to understand that he must either
produce the whisky or refund the mon
ey. The Negro gave up quarter and
got a pint of whisky. In the other
case, the complaint was that the whis-
ky furnished had been liberaly water
ed. The testimony as to the sale was
direct in both instances, and the may
or as usual, went to the full extent Of
the law with the sentence. Smith Is
reported to have sworn revenge against
both witnesses, declaring what he will
do with them when he gets off the
chaingang. AS his case will be turned
over to the state later on, and as it is
understood that Blacksburg wants
him, it is probable that his vengeance
will be sonnet What deferred.

THE scarcity of farm labor, and es-
pecially of desirable croppers to work
on shares, or who are able to guaran-
tee standing rent, seems to be bringing
the country face to face with the prop

most entirely on the wage system.
There are evidences that the lien law

THE latest news from young Theo-
dore Roosevelt, contained in the dis
patches of Monday. was to the effect
that both lungs had become affected
and his condition was quite critical.
The doctors were then Of opinion that
the crisis was to be expected today
Wednesday,. 1t appears that the
young patients trouble is probably due
to too much violent exercise. For
some time past long walks across
country have been a fad with the Gro
ton boys. 1t was the custom to discard
hats and go bareheaded, and there was
rivalry as to speed and endurance.
Young Roosevelt was the winner in an

and shortly afterward pneumonia de-

IT is stated, on what seems to be
very good authority, that President
Roosevelt is positively opposed to
Crumpacker's proposition to investi-
gate Southern election methods, and
that because of his opposition, those
who have been most active in the un-
dertaking will probably abandon It.
Crumpacker's keen interest in the sub
ject is attributed to the fact that there
are some 10000 Negro voters in In
diana, and they are threatening to &c
into the Democratic party unless
something is done on the southern
franchise question.

a complete change in the presidents
plan. Because it became necessary for
Mrs. Roosevelt to hasten to the bed
side of her son, it was at first arranged
that the president would keep the
Charleston appointment; but he would
not leave the ladies Of the cabinet be-
hind. Afterward the doctors decided
that the presence Of the president at
the bedside of his son might become
necessary at any moment, and conse-
quently, it would not be we'll for him
to venture so far away. On Sunday
the president went to Groton. He
found Theodore, Jr., much better, but
not yet out Of danger.
