when love and art were weighed in
the balance how much more avolrdu-
pois love seemed to have. And life on
a farm with the man you loved wasn't
half bad after all
SO one quiet evening in September.
just as the sun was setting over Mt.
Washington, turning the silver of the
lake into flaming red and throwing Il
halo of glowing light and color about
them, they stood together on the brow
of the hill. watching the sun set.
Marion" said Harold, suddenly,
don't you think you could stand the
farm? l love you with all my heart
and soul, and I'll prove it to you if you
will only let me-
Maroin's eyes wandered out over the
glittering sunlit waters, out beyond the
dark purple mountains, till they rested
upon tiny star that cleaned just
where moment before the sun had
been.
Art beckoned to her with her white,
shapely hand. Just then a demure
brown biddy, scurrying homeward,
clucking to her belated brood, brushed
against her dress. With a happy little
laugh, Marion stopped down and caught
up one of the soft down little chicks.
"Oh! l don't know" she said as she
held 1t in both hands pressed against
her cheek. Il might"
The last two words were so low Har-
old had to stoop down to catch them.
Now she's a farmers wife, ard all
the girls are wondering what Marion
will do next

When woman suffrage is thoroughly
established III this country and women

become necessary to revise some of
the customs that now prevail, and es-
pecially that unwritten law that makes
it necessary for every Senator and Rep
reSentative to furnish an autobiOgra-
phical sketch. beginning with a state
ment of age, for publication in the
Congressional Directory. The records
in the directory are revelations to

show an evenly balanced Senate of

eightysiX Senators. Senator Bur
ton, of Kansas, who has not yet
reached middle life, is the only Sen
ator whose name is included i'll the
directory without the date of his birth.
Senator Dryden. of New Jersey, has
not yet had his biographical sketch
published. The absence of the two
Senators that Delaware is entitled to
makes up the four vacancies in the

Senators. three Bailey. of Texas; Bey-
eridge, of Indiana. and Kearns. of
Utah, are under 40 years of age. the
Texas Senator being 3S and the Sena-
tors from Indiana and Utah 80 years

When things went wrong, an we knelt in

To thank the Lord fer the poorest crust,
An the old time friends that We thought

Had left us friendless along life's road.

Usher. little reluctantly, took Mr.. Hab-
berton at his word. The author there
upon made Il list of all the important
book stores in the United States, and
learned the name of the head of the de-
partment of fiction in each store. Now
the heads of all book departments are
all tiends in the collection of autograph
first editions-that is, with the authors
signature upon the imprint. There is
scarcely an exception to this rule. Mr.
Habberton, being wise in all that con
Germs book stores, accordingly sent to
each head a copy of ''Helen's Babies"
that contained not only his autograph,
but a pleasant letter also that eXpa-
tiated on the merit of the work. The
heads were delighted. They instructed
their saleswomen and statesmen to
boom ''Helen's Babies" to recommend
1t to every hesitating customer. And
thus the book succeeded, though it

All American shOp-keepers-more es-
pecially grocers in provincial towns
know what a draw on their profits the
sampling or tasting habit among Gus
toners is. 1t is even worse in ENG
land, says the New York Commercial.
Up at the Calumet Club last night
was the manager of a huge supply es-
tablishment in London, Mr.. Phlneas
Brumby. His place is one OF the sort
spoken of in England as on the stores
order" as distinguished from shop.
UNLESS you are in the business" he
said, as he slowly slipped his Scotch
high ball with a party of New York
wholesalers, let me say that you Will
find it hard to realize the aggregate
amount customers of the tasting kind
i do not now so much refer to leg1t-
innate tasters, who sample butter and
cheese-cost a concern like mine; and
much of this tasting is nothing but
bare-faced pilfering.
mot to speak of the articles these
people take-the offenders are gener-
ally women, l am sorry to say-the ar
ticles such as raisins, nuts, biscuits, a
grape or two here, and a strawberry
hundreds and hundreds of them will
half-covertly help themselves to a
peach, an apricot or blood orange,
and when they have several children
with them, all scattered about shop
and doing the same thing, the matter
becomes serious. 1t happens in scores
of cases that the articles taken IN this
way exceed the value of those bought
by fourfold. If word is spoken to
these people, their indignation, mock
or real, is a sight; nothing can ex-
coed their effrontery.
1T has become a serious question
one that is going to be debated with
others ere long by West End trades
mentor it is calculated that we lose
a total of many, many thousands of
pounds d year by these tasters. We re-
gard women who deliberately allow
their children to take expensive fruits
in this way, and then refuse to pay,
as almost creating a tendency to shop

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT PROB
LENS

The New York papers have given a
great deal of space recently to the
sayings of Mr.. Devery, ex-chief of po-
lice of that city. He is at present
trying to capture one of it's largest Of
the assembly districts. He aims to
become a local political leader. In
deed, the suggestion has been made
that his ambition is to succeed Mr.
Croker as the boss of Tammany.
On last Thursday he gave an ex-
cursion up the Hudson river to the
residents of the district he is seeking
to capture, and fully r., 900 people at
tended. 1t is said that the cost was
not less than $4,000.
How does Devery expect to get his
money back? 1t is certain that he is
not spending it in amusing and enter
tanning the people of the district he
wants to represent simply because it
is a pleasure for him to do so. He
doesn't know the people and doesn't
want to know them intimately. He
only wants the votes which the men
have. And it is probable that he will
get the great majority of them, with
the free wine, free lunches, free ex-
cursions and various other free things
which he is providing and others
which he is promising when he gets
in power.
In other words, Mr.. Devery is cor
rupting the people for the purpose of
advancing his political fortunes-of
getting into a position where he can
make politics pay.
1t has not been very long since he
was forced out of the position of chief
of police of New York city because it
was believed that he was at the head
of the rottenest system of police cor
ruption ever known there. 1t is init
mated that Mr.. Devery has a fortune
of million dollars, and the question
is being asked, Where did he get it?
The inference is, of course, that he got
1t out of the rotten police system in
augurated. or, at least, perfected by
him. 1t is not known that he had any
means of making money, and his sal
airy as an officer OF the police force
was comparatively small. Having cor
rupted the police, as alleged by New
York popers, he is now engaged in
bunting the consciences of the peo-
pie in order to get their support. And
it is not impossible that he will be a
great power in New York in the near
future.
In too many cities of the country
there are men like Mr.. Devery-men
whose sole aim to get into places of
power simply for the purpose of fill
ing their pockets. They don't care if
they have to corrupt the police and
the people to accomplish their pur-
poses.
