What a Jealous Wife
Found.

A Fayette woman suspected that
her husband was in the habit OF
kissing the hired g,rl and resolved
to detect HIM IN the act. Satur-
day night she saw him pass quietly
into the kitchen. The hired girl
was out and the kitchen dark. The
Jealous wife took a few matches
IN her hand, and hastily placing
shawl over her head, as the hired
girl often did, entered the back
door, and instantly she was seized
and kissed, and embraced in an
ardent manner. With heart almost
bursting, the wife prepared to ad-
minister a terrible rebuke to the
faitbless spouse, and tearing her.
self away from his fond embrace
she struck a match and stood face
to face with-the hired man.

Nobleman in Congress.

Washington, Nov. l6. - The
election Of Prince Cupid Kalanian-
aola, the Delegate from Hawaii,
introduces to the Congress of the
United States its first member OF
the roval blood. This kingly scion
will be without a vote. He will
get his salary and the privilege OF
the floor, and that will let him out.
Prince Cupid's real name Is Jonah
Kuuo Kalanianaola. 1t is written
thus by the native Hawaiians IN
this city who know him and kis
family. He is brother of Prince
David, who was a delegate to the
National Democratic Convention
IN 1900, and who cast the vote
maintaining silver in the Demo
cratic platform.
The generally accepted name of
Prince Cupid came to him not at
his baptism, but by general consent:
1t Is so thoroughly attached to
him that it would be impossible to
speak of him in public, either in
Hlwaii or elsewhere, as any other
than Prince Cupid. He has been
elected as a Republican, but his
personal sympathies are strongly
1oyalist. =,
Those who know Prince Cupid
say he is bel,gerant and touchy or

or his race. He is born fighter

Within their Power.

BY defeating the constitutional
amendment repeating the poll tax
prerequisite, the people Of the State
placed it strictly within the cescre-
ton and power Of each man, other
wise qualified to vote, to determine
absolutely for himself whether or
not he would disfranchise himself.
Under the law. as the people have
proclaimed that 1t must stand, one
offering to vote must not only have
been registered but lie must also
exhibit his poll tax receipt for the
two years last past prior to the
election, and these receipts must
show that the taxes have been
paid ON or before December 3lst OF
the years IN which they are assessed.
There can be no just complaint
against this law now, because
the people passed directly upon it
and could have repealed it had they
80 desired. The fact that they
voted 90 largely IN favor of retain
ing the poll tax prerequisite shows
that the people desire to employ the
poll tax rather for the purpose OF
restricting the suffrage than as q
revenue measure. 1t was urged
against tho poll tax prerequisite that
i, would give undue opportunity
for corruption to certain classes
of politicians, and that is absolutel,
true, unless the people pay more
| attention 10 the poll tax than they
have don g to date The only way
by which the people will be able t.
nullify the efforts of those who ma,

the opportunity for corruption pre-
sented by the poll tax prerequisite
