The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1903-05-22
OF Course,

1t is a curious fact, and one worth
keeping in mind, that the same free
trade papers that so cordially ap-
proved the sentiments expressed in
the speech of Gov. Cummins in Des
Moines at the Republican county con-
vention, are greatly di~sgruntled at the
speech of President Roosevelt in Min
neapolis three weeks later. Gov. Cum
Minis declared that the tariff ought to
be Immediately torn up both by direct
legislation and by reciprocity in COM
peting products while President Roose-
welt declared that for at least two
years to come, or until after the cleo
ton OF 1904, the tariff should be left
entirely alone. Ergo, the free trade
papers were delighted with Gov. Cum
Minis and displeased with President
Roosevelt. on course they were.

Women and the Looking Glass.

How much time does a oma spend
before her looking-glass? A German
estimates that a girl of six to ten
spends an average of seven minutes a
day before a mirror, from ten to fiji
teen a quarter of an hour is con-
sumed daily, and from fifteen to TWEEN
ty, twenty-five minutes. Ladies from
twenty to twenty-five occupy twenty
five minutes; from that age to thirty
they are at least half an hour at
their toilette. Thence there is a de-
cline in coquetry. From thirty to thir-
ty-ive the time occupied comes down
y twenty-four minutes, from thirty
five to forty it is only eighteen min:
utes; from forty to fifty, twelve min
utes, and from fifty to sixty, only six
minutes. A woman of seventy has
thus spent 1852 hours before the glass.
In other words, eight months, count
ing night and day.

madame's hurry and Distress" said
Cornelia.
she hardly knew how to reach Lon
don quickly enough. But LADDERS
tale proved to be true. Her first action
was to take possession of the dement,
ed man, and surround him with every
comfort. He appeared quite indiffer-
ent to her care, and she obtained no
shadow of recognition from him. She
then brought to his case all the medi-
cal skill money could procure, and in
the consultation which followed the
physicians decided to perform the
operation of trepanning."
But why? Had he been injured,
John?"
Very badly. The hospital books
showed that he had been brought
there by two sailors, who said he had
been struck in a gale by a falling
mast. The wound healed, but left
him mentally a wreck. The physi-
clans decided that the brain was suf-
fering from pressure. and that trepan-
ming would relieve, if it did not cure.
Imagine now what a trial was be-
fore madame! 1t was a difficult matter
to perform the operation, for the pa
tient could not be made to understand
it's necessity; and he was very hard to
manage. Then picture to yourselves,
the terrible strain of nursing which
followed; though madame says it
was soon frightened and lightened by
her husbands recognition of her.
After that event all WEAKNESS was
rest, and suffering ease, and as soon
as he was able to travel both were
determined to return at once to their
own home. He is yet, however, a
sick man, and may never quite recover

hour or two to your house | will come.
There is plenty to talk about"
The next day Cornelia walked down
Broadway to Madame Jacobus' house.
1t was closed and desolate looking and
she sighed as sac compared its old
bright spotless comfort, with its pres
ent empty forlornness. The change
typifed the change in her heart and
love.
One exquisite day as they went up
Maiden Lane the Doctor said: MY
friend. Gen. Hewitt sails for England
to-day, and we will go and wish him
a good voyage" So to the pier they
went. and the Doctor left his carriage,
and taking Cornelia OF his arm welk-
ed down to where the English packet
was lying.
Soon Cornelia became conscious OF
the powerful magnetism of some hu-
man eye, and obeying its irresistible
attraction she saw George Hyde stead
lily regarding her. She was enthralled

to be presented. In such an event
watch the Republican mugwumps fall
over each other in their hurry to
get back into the Republican ranks!
A few of them might rush in the OPP
posite direction, but for every such
deserter a score of business Demo-
Gratis who are making money and want
the tariff let alone would be found
quietly voting the Republican ticket.
The country is in no hurry to be torn
up again by tariff experiments.

81 don't know. | fear so, for the
visit is a long one"
It was rear ten o'clock when Doctor
Moran returned and his face was
sombre and thoughtful-the face Of a
man who had been listening for hours
to grave matters and who had not
been able to throw off their physical
reflection.
Corneiia at once asked:
as madame very ill?"
"She is wonderfully well. It is her

pitiful story-but yet like enough to
end well. Madam told me that the
day after her sister-in-law's burial,
James Lauder, a Scotchman, who had
often sailed with Captain Jacobus,
came down to Charleston to see her.
He declared that having had occasion
to go to Guys hospital in London to
visit a sick comrade, he saw there

any doubt of his identity, but said the
Captain had forgotten his name, and

ternai arm FavoririSn.
"Let we'll enough alone" was a
sentiment that appealed to the pros
porous people of this prosperous ma
ton in champaign of 1900. GO on
letting we'll enough alone" will be
the talk in 1904. President Roosevelt
recognized this when he said in Min
neapolis:
I'm making any REIMBURSEMENT there
are certain important considerations
which cannot be disregarded. If a
tariff law has on the whole worked
well, and if business has prospered
under it and is prospecting, it may be
better to endure some inconvenience
and inequalities for a time than by
making changes to risk causing dis
turbance and perhaps paralysis in
the industries and business of the
country"
The tariff speech of the President is
a direct sequel to his able review of
the subject of the trusts. He points
out that the question of revising the
tariff is in no wise related to the trust
issue. In his Milwaukee speech, he
told about certain physicians who
could cure diseases, but were not SO
sure about saving the life Of the pa
tient. 1t is easy to put the corpora
tons, trusts and otherwise, out Of
business, by making lines hard
enough. But that is not the remedy
obviously.
The President would, above all,
preserve the protective principle,
which has done so much to strengthen
the position of the American working
man at home. He would approach
with caution such changes as are sug-
gested from time to time, with due
reference to their importance to "the
nation as a whole" Evidently Roose-
welt is not in sympathy with the New
England idea" which is to let in
everything free that New England
wants to buy and slap a high duty on

CHAPTER XII.
Have Done With Tears and
Treasons.

We Have Done With Tears and
Treasons.
Here is a letter from Arenta!" re-
peated the Doctor to his wife, who
was just entering the room. Come,
Ava, and listen to what she has to
say" Then Cornelia read aloud the
f. owing words:
Z My Dear Friend Cornelia: If to-
-ay [ could walk down Maiden Lane,
if to-day l could see you and talk to
you, / should imagine myself in hea-
ven. For as to this city, | think that
in hell the name of Paris must have
spread itself far and wide. Do you
remember u learning in those happy
days at Bethlehem of the slaughter
of Christians by Nero? Very well;
right here in the Paris OF Marat and
R~obespierre, you may hear constantly
the same brutal cry that filled the
Rome of the Caesars-"Death to the
Christians!" Famine, anarchy, MUIR
der, are everywhere, and | live from
moment to moment, trembling If a
step comes near me.
"As to religion, there is no longer
any religion. Everywhere the AL
mighty is spoken of as the "soi-disant
God" The monarchy is abolished, and
yet a ignorant are the leaders of the
people, that when Brissot mentioned
the word Republic in Petion's house,
Robespierre said with a grin, "Repub-
lie. Republic. What's a r%epublic?"
Spying, and fear, and death penetrate
into the most private houses; above
all, fear, constant fear of every one
with whom you come in contact.
81 have told you the truth about u
condition, because l have just had a
letter from my father, and he talks of
leaving his business in Claos Bergen's
care, and coming here to lCok after
me. You must convince him that he
could do me 10 good whatever, and
that he might do me much harm. Tell
him not to fear; Arenta says, not to
fear. While Minister Morris is here
| have a friend hat can do all thai
a be done.
ASK our good Domino to pray that
| may soon return to a country where
God reigns. Never again do | wish
to spend one minute in a place where
there is no God; for whatever they
may call that place, its real name is
hell.
"Arenta, Marquise de Tounnerre.'
poor Arenta!" said the Doctor
when Cornelia had finished the
wretched epistle. Suppose that ycI
go and see Van Ariens, and give him
ali the comfort you can"
Cornelia crossed the street and was
going to knock at the door. when Van
Ariens hastily opened it. When Cor
nelia told him her errand. he was il a
hurry of loving anxiety to hear what
his child had written.
81 understand" he said, when he
had heard the letter. She is fright
ened, the poor little one! But she
will smile and say it is nothing How
ever, l yet think l must go to her"
do not" urged Cornelia. You may
see by Arenta's letter, that she does
not fear the guillotine. Come "
tonight and talk to my father and
mother"
We'll then, I will come"
Then he took both Cornelia's hands
in his and looking earnestly at her
said:
Poor REM Impossible is it?"
Quite impossible, sir" she an
swered.

THE BUTLER CASE.
An Error Has Caused il to be
Continued.

Because of an error in copying the
bill of expenses filed by the defend
ant in the case of Edward Butler, of
st. Louis, who was convicted of
attempted bribery in the Boone
county circuit court last November,
the hearing of his appeal in the state
supreme court will be delayed for
three months.
The error was made by the private
stenographer OF the defendant and
in consequence the case will not be
taken up until the October term, in
stead of this month, as was under
stood by the attorneys for the state
at the conclusion of the Butler trial
at Columbia in November.
The official stenographer of the
Boone county circuit court filled the
customary report of the trial written
in shorthand, i'm the clerks office.
When an appeal is taken the defend
ant is entitled to the use of the
papers in making a copy for the
supreme court.
Tt is the custom for two copies to
be made, one to be filed in the Office
of the circuit clerk and another to be
sent to Jefferson City. The private
stenographer of Butler made but one
copy of the transcript. The clerk re-
tanned this on file, but had no copy
to send to Jefferson City.
The error went unnoticed until re-
Gently, when Mr.. Folk discovered
that the Butler case was not on the
docket for the May term of the
supreme court. He requested that
the matter be investigated in Co.
lumbia and the error was revealed.

A CURE For BAD TEMPER.
From the Kansas City Truth.

From the Kansas City Truth
Whatever may be thought of
Christian Science, and however
much it may be ridiculed as being
neither Christian nor scientific, one
thing is certain-it cures bad
temper. Other Christians and
other scientists are often sour and
cross, and hardly to be differen.
tiated from the rest of mankind by
any impress of their creed or call
ing, but the distinguishing
characteristic of the Christian
Scientists is their radiant cheerful
ness and serenity of temper. 1t
has often been claimed by students
of humanity that they could tell a
mans calling by his face; the
scholar from the soldier, the mer.
chant from the professional man,
the gambler from the industrial
worker; but that they could not
tell Christian from nom believer,
much less recognize in mems Inca
ments any difference between
Methodists and Episcopalians, or
Protestants and Catholics. And
they go so far as to say that this
applies 10 actions as we'll as looks,
and that even the greatest of all
Christian virtues, charity, is more
often found outside of the church
than in it.
But, whatever the merits of
Christian Science in other respects,
it is a remarkable fact that it does
leave an outward and visible sing
on the countenances of those who
practice it, and its happy effect
upon their dispositions is indis-
putable. And so, whether it cures
diseases of the body or not, it
certainly cures the worst and com.
monest diseases of the human
mind, crossness and dependency.
And this is triumph, indeed, for
the advocates of the absolute
supremacy of mind over matte.

LIBERTY, Mo, May l2.-Fifty Bap-

Jewel College for their homes to-day
because the faculty refused to grant
their request that the fraternities of
the college be dissolved.
The students give as their reason
for making the request that nearly
all the trouble that arises among the
students is due to the fraternity men
that the college is regarded as a
preachers school and consequently
the ministerial students are unjustly
forced to bear part of the blame.
The college enrolment numbers 400.
