JOHN B. CARROLL
 BEFORE THE JURY
IS ASKED FOUR QUESTIONS IN RE. GARD TO BRIBERY AMONG MIS- soURI LEGlsLAToRs AND AN SWERS ONE.

St. Louis. July 7.--John B. Carroll. gen. eral attorney for the Burlington was to- day taken before the grand jury which is Investigating bribery in the state legisla- ture and was asked several questions by Circuit Attorney Folk. These he refused to answer and the circuit attorney applied to Judge Douglass for an order compelling him to do so On three of the questions Judge Douglas sustained Carrol's conten- ton that he could refuse to answer on the ground that the answer might incriminate himself.
 Judge Douglas ordered him to answer the fourth question. The questions were as follows:
 DO you know anything about $25,ooO that was paid to one John A. Lee?'
 "Do you know anything about money paid to legislators at Jefferson City?'
 DO you know anything of money paid to legislators at St. Louis?"
 "Do you have knowledge of money paid to legislators by other persons than your self?"
 Carroll answered the fourth question. saying he had no knowledge of money used by other persons to influence legisla- ton.
 Circuit Attorney Folk announced that he expected to have Carroll back in two weeks as a witness again.
 John A. Low, a former lieutenant gov ernor, held a conference with MT. Folk this afternoon.

ne real moral Of the sensational Campbell divorce case Is not. as Mrs. Campbell seems to think. that you mustn't marry a millionaire or that mil- 1 lionaires make the worst husbands but says Dorothy Dix in the New York American, that you should marry in your own class-somebody with the same in- terests in life that you have. and the the same tastes in politics and pie.
 MT. Campbell was sporty and vented his wife to drink cocktails with him, smoke cigarettes and go to the races Mrs. Campbell wanted him to escort her to church. Hence the rift within the lute and incidentally the breaking of crock cry. With a good-fellow wife the man might have been the most devoted of spouses, while united to a nice curate undoubtedly the course of true love would have flowed smoothly to the end with the lady
 The case of mismated couples is not an unusual one. Indeed, there seems a fa- tai surety with which people play at cross purposes about this. the most i'm portant matter of their lives. The man, for nstanve, who is a bon vivant and fussy about his eating. invariably picks out a wife who believes in plain living and high thinking and they wrangle about the table the balance of their days.
 Preachers have a mania for marrying flighty and frivolous little creatures in- stead of the sister in Israel who would be Their proper and congenial mate; while the pious girl who leads the female pray CT meeting is foroordained to matry a rounder, whom she will nag into drunk ards grave.
 Half of the domestic friction might be abated If people would cnly marry in their own class, for there is no weakness with which we are so sympathetic as the one we have ourselves; no taste Is so faseinat- ing as the one we share; no people so in- teresting and intelligent as those who think as we do no faults we are so ready to forgive as the ones to which we also are subject.
 The greatest fallacy in the world is the theory of the attraction of opposites in .ratrimony. What makes for peace and happiness is agreeabilfty and sympathy, not contradictions and argument The people who jar us are those who sing off of our key, not those whose voices blend harmoniously with our own bass or tre- 1 lie.
 The trouble is that too many men mar " women believing they can mould them over to suit their tastes, and too many women marry men thinking they can reform them and cut them over accord Ing to their own little pattern of good ness. Both parties would save them selves deal of misery if they would find out before marriage what they want in life partner instead of waiting until afterward. IL is a little late, after a man is married to a saint, to discover that what he really wants is a wife with sporting blood in her veins; or for the woman who deliberately weds giddy youth about town to find out that her real affinity is settlement worker with lofty ideals and serious views of life.
 More than that, it is unjust. If the time ever comes when we grow wise enough to marry people with the same religion and politics. and who like the same kind of cooking we do, the

In q Woman's Exchange.

Most of the interesting antiques to be bought now in the south are offered for sale at the women's exchanges that four ish in southern cities. says the New York Sun. To these places women of impover- ished families send their furniture, their trinkets and other valued possessions that they would hesitate to dispose of in any more public way.
 There Is a certain pathos in visit to one of these exchanges. One sees on all sides evidences of poverty which must press most painfully. It Is in conflict with pride, and one realizes how great must have been the straits of the women to make them consent to part with articles connected so closely with their lives. Old fashioned watches, pins made of twisted hair, cameo brooches, Chinese crepe shawls and old lace are among the ob- jeets one sees offered for sale.
 Evidently the southern exchanges can- not get rid of all these articles offered. for a New York establishment for the sale of such things has recently been opened in an uptown street. Under the shadow of great hotel Is this place of business, which looks like the interior of a southern women's exchange transported to New York
 Here are edibles, such as pickles. pre- lsrves and candies embroideries, linens Dandana handkerchiefs made up for va rious uses old furniture, silver and jewell ry All of these articles are brought from the south
 In the southern cities the womens ex- change is always the best restaurant of the town, and is almost invariably the place at which all the business men un- able to go home in the middle of the day are accustomed to take their luncheons. This feature is lacking in the New York establishment, but in every other way the transplanted exchange is identical with many of those which do so much to help the women of the south.

Bishop Grafton Says College VIII Not
 Elect Young Man Pope.

Fon du Lac, Wis, July Ut will be interesting to note who the coming in- eumbent of the papacy will be-" said Bishop Grafton today Tt Is not ord- narily known by Roman Catholics that the heads of three European countries have veto power over the election of a pope. They are France. Austria and Spain l understand that some of them have already filed objections to certain of the cardinals who were mentioned as likely to be chosen.
 Cardinal Gotti is a handsome man and a fine scholar. Cardinal Satoll is too young the older members of the college will hardly vote for any young man."
