Wise Words of a Senator

Senator William NJ Stewart look
like King Solomon, but some peopl
have been reluctant TO admit that h
possesses much of Solomon's wisdom
We must insist, however, that Senator
Stewart can say wise things. In a de
bate few days ago he raised his good
right hand, permitted his long. whit
whiskers to fall in graceful abandon
down over his chest and stomach, ami
said:
You folks waste a lot of sympathy
on Nevada. Don't do IT, Nevada ha
money, and / say to you. Mr.. President
when you have money, you don't meet
sympathy"
This. notwithstanding the fact, tha

ProgenY Of ono Criminal

From the Chicago Tribune.
AT the annual meeting OF the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
of New York Mrs. NJ. J. Annable pub
lished the record of the descendants OF
a female criminal who died in 1927.
OF 800 persons whose descent from the
woman has been traced 700 have been
convicted of crime or misdemeanors.
and OF these. 81 were convicted of muir
der. The list included 342 drunkards
and j., immoral women. The trials
and executions of the sentences OF
these persons have cost the public
SS.O0OO00 No more startling figures
are contained in the records OF
criminology. Not only is the number
of criminals descended from one wo-
man enormous, but the percentage ol
depravity is extraordinary. There
must have been a considerable ad-
mixture of honest. or at least non
criminal blood in these persons, yet
me little leaven Of evil leavened the
whole lump. Society might well be
appalled, at its impending degeneracy II
the v,al force of crime were always
so great Il is unfortunate that Mrs.
Annable has withheld the name and
history OF the ancestors of the dread
full brood, because the significance of
the figures can only be estimated after
thorough investigation of the cir
cumstances in which the criminals
were reared and the efforts that were
made to correct them.

Representative James ID. Richard

lower House OF Congress, declares that
the Democrats will make imperial
ism the issue i'm 1904 II will be nee
cessary for the Democrats to have an
issue IN 1904. of course, and it is all
right Tor them to be casting around
for one even two years before their
platform will be framed. All the tlnlo
between now and the meeting OF une
national conventions will be required
to find plausible one, and the proba-
bility is that the time will be too
short for the purpose. 1t is possible,
also, that nothing better Will present
itself for campaign purposes than the
issue Mr.. Richardson selects. But if
that is true, the Democratic party is
in desperate straits, indeed. 1t might
almost as well put free silver to the
front again. In fact, the odds are
rather in favor of free silver as against
imperialism" True. silver was over
whelmingly defeated when it was
made the paramount issue in 1896. but
the Democratic defeat was more dis
asLrous still when imperialism" was
made paramount four years later. Es-
by the size of the respective
reverses. free silver would be the more
promising choice for the next contest.

Celebrated II. II. II. Medicine IS not O
mere perfumed lubricating oil, the ap-
plication of which serves only to amuse
and occupy the patient, but is in reality
a scientific combination Of powerful
chemicals and potent drugs, which
have the marvellous property Of going
straight to the seat Of the pain, where
they act upon the lymphatics in such
q manner, that the cause of the pain is
absorbed and removed. 1t does not
matter much whether the pain be due
toan abnormal swelling, to sprains of
the joints or strains of the muscles or
tendOns, to rheumatism, iumbago,
neuralgia, sciatica, to t0Othache or
headache, all Of these are quickly re-
lieved by the magic effect of II. III. III.
No other medicine or hniment seems
to equal it in the rapidity or certainty
ofits action. Often a single thorough
application causes the pain and dis
comfort to vanish, as If by magic.

other during their natural lives.
He will not, without her consent, visit
her, or knowingly enter any house
where she may dwell or reside"
1t will be observed that the husband
agrees that he will not enter any house
in which his wife may be, and he says
that he will be only too glad to abide
by that part of the articles of sep
aration.
Mrs. Nagle has resumed her resi-
dence in the old homestead at st. Law
renee, which she entered as a bride
and has occupied ever since. 1t was
there that she was found and ques-
toned by a Chicago Tribune reporter
as to her views on marriage, when she
declared:
"Never get married. That's my ad-
vice. I've found little happiness in the
welded state, and the same is the case
with a large percentage Of others.
There are some in my own neighbor-
hood. You read of others in the news

we started out in life together. We

that the possession of money would
bring me, as a married woman, the
greatest satisfaction in the world, but
found that l was mistaken. Young
man, just take this advice: Don't get
and accept this as the truth:
Money alone brings neither content
ment nor happiness"

So Say Both Man and Wife After
Long Experience.

ure-Neither Found Any
Real Happiness.

"Never get married" Such is the
advice given to young people by Mrs.
Reuben Nagle, a farmer OF St. Law
renee, Pa. a sad faced woman OF 20
years. Her husband is about the same
age, and for half a century they lived
together as man and WIFE
Only the other day they agreed to
live apart, and they went about
making the arrangements apparent
ly without a pang of regret. First
they went to an attorneys. Office
and he drew up the papers. Next
they had deeds prepared making AM
equal division Of their property. They
started out in life with little, and
wound up half a century Of matri-
mony with about $4,000 invested inI
real estate and securities. This wasl
amicably divided without the shadow
of a difference. The lawyer, having
prepared the papers, handed them to
the couple and the husband paid his
fee. Then they walked to the court

recorders Office, and in the corridor
of the building separated without a
display Of any emotion whatever.
"Well, good-by," he said, and she re-
piled "Good-by." They did not even
shake hands, only the slightest nod
as each went his or her own way.
Their neighbors declare that they
never knew them to quarrel, though
they often had strong differences Of
opinion. "ln fact, said Mr.. Nagle, eve
drifted as naturally into the idea Of
separating as we did into matrimony.
We simply decided to live apart be-
cause we weren't happy, and that's all
there is about it,"

the courthouse reads in part as fol-

Every once in a while a creamery
company sinks tubular well to carry
off the waste water, but in no case Sc
far as we have heard has such a well
given satisfaction, and in most cases
the waste water contaminated the
water in the well used for the cream

water In such a well some distance
from the creamery, was compelled to
draw water from a neighbor for two
months. and the pump in the creamery
was kept going day and night during
that time before the water could be
used again. Their experiment should
suffice for others. but still others try
the same scheme, usually to their sor.
row.
