thor of THE American Ouch
ess," which has been dramatized, and
other novels. She is now about to pub
Iish her latest work, entitled "a
Daughter of the Dolomites," study OF
italian peasant life.
She was born in Sydney, Australia,
where her distinguished father, the Hon.
Edwin Daintrey, went from England for
his health and remained many years,
attaining honor and distinction as a
lawyer. He belonged to one Of the old
est and most historic families, being
descended from the Lords of Daven-
tree, whose feudal city was Daventree,
in Northamptonshire-m in
Shakespeare. The family intermarried
with most Of those noted houses, such
as the Howards, De Bohans, Percys, and
many others-names which have helped
make English history. The Daintreys
are descended from royal Norman and
also royal Saxon blood. Edwin Dain-
trey's ability as a lawyer and integrity
as a man were such that twice in his
career in Australia 1t was sought to
have special law passed enabling So
licitors equally with barristers TO be-
come Judges in the supreme court. But
these honors and also that of holding
the office Of master in equity Mr.. Dain-
trey declined TO accept, to the great
disappointment Of his many warm
friends and admirers.
Her fathers bearing, elegance and re-
hnement have been transmitted to this
gifted woman. and her mothers beauty
OF form and feature have also been in
herited, and combine to make her queen

Her parents say that they will not
allow Pauline to dance any more this
summer. as she needs a rest; but this
will probably prove more of a task than
otherwise for the little one, who Is thor

everything connected with dancing, and

A W0MAN'S TASK.
tFrom the Toledo Bee.)

There are hundreds of men in Tole-
do who take their luncheon at some
grab lunch counter or cafe. Ninety
per cent Of them say the hardest prop
osition they have to face during the
day is ordering their luncheon. No
doubt they are right. We wonder II
they ever think of their wives strug.
giles along this line. The average wife
prepares three meals day, three hun
dred and sixty-fve days in the year,
unless hubby opens up his purse
strings and invites her out to some
cafe for dinner. A woman will ON the
average prepare 1,050 meals in year.
She has 20 exercise versatility, ingen-
uity and originality, to see that no two
of the meals are alike on the same
day.
Turn her scheming into business
channels and she would coin money
faster than a mint. She knows that
II the human bear were offered the
same food several times in succession
he would let out a growl that would
cause neighborhood gossip. So day
after day, year in and year out, she
patiently tolls, making combinations
of foods that in the end probably get
her spring bonnet under protest and
a seat near the throne when she has
cooked the life out Of herself.
If half of the husbands would use
their eyes and observe the wife's
wornout and tired looks from constant
labors over kitchen stove, ,thero would
be more home cheerfulness ana com
patibility of temper. Take your wife
out to lunch occasionally. Blow your
self for fifty cents worth, anyway
It's cheaper than. paying doctor bills
and funeral expenses.

in jail since Sunday, charged with the
murder Of Vincent Hill in the Barnett
House Friday night confessed to Pros

of the man after the dead body had

cognizant of without hostile action.
He creates the crime, prosecutes the
offender. adiudges him guilty and sen
tences him to jal--thus acting out the
fourfold function of law-maker prose
cutor, jury and Judge. If what he en-
joins Is an offense at law, 1t is case
for the ordinary administration of JUS
tice. Judge Jackson says that this
use of the equity. power is as old as the
English common law, but he is very
much mistaken in this. 1t is not as
old as his own service as Judge. 1t is
no older than eight years, as a matter
of fact government by injunction, so
called, dating back only to 1894.
| Tue judge invokes the recent prac-
tice of the courts in defense of his ac-
tion but the fact that the courts are
disposed to stand by each other in this
extraordinary employment of the
equity power constitutes no justifca-
tion thereof, and it may lead on to un-
fortunate consequences for the judi
ciary and the public estimation in
which it Is generally held. This is
something to be considered. and es-
pecially when Congress is considering
measures of legislation to restrain the
courts in this particular-measures
which shall not at the same time pre-
vent the legitimate employment of
equity power.
1t is well to remember at Just this
point, and in word, that the judi.
ciary is not supreme in the state, and
that it is not well that the organized
laboring classes be given the impress
sion that they are being unwarranta bly,
prosecuted. They are n power in the
electorate and have some influence
with Congress-and especially in a
matter about which the ablest lawyers
of the Senate and House are disposed
to side with them on the simple mcr-
its of the question.
There is danger, therefore. of carry
ing government by injunction" to a
point giving rise to cases of impeach
ment Of judges In Congress. OF the
six cases of impeachment instituted BY
the House and tried by the Senate
from the foundation of the govern
ment to and including the case of
President Johnson, four involved iudc
cs OF the federal courts. II has been
many years since the legislative pow
or felt moved thus to interfere with
the judicial power, and we may hone
that occasion to do so may never arise
again, But as matters are preceding
there is grave danger.

MR. BARBER
Might Buy Little Match Lum-
ber Here.

Washington, D. c., July 81 The
Interior Department has sent out
notices asking for bids for the pine
timber on sections 16 and 36 of each
Of the townships Of the Red Lake
reservation and of part of the White
Earth reservation in Minnesota. The
action is the beginning of the disposal
of the timber and the agricultural
lands Of those two extensive reserva-
tions under an act of the last session
of Congress. The timber to be dis
posed of amounts to about 20,000,000
feet and covers $4,000 acres. The law
requires that the sale shall be adver
tised for six months in most parts of
the country.
