to have what he wanted. But the
daughter of a felon?
But he wanted Clarissa.
He tossed and turned On his bed try

The father would one day-he thought
scornfully--get put of prison-and he,
Sir Humphrey Potter. would he COM

mitted. Forgery, probably, perhaps
worse.
Latimer should have told him; 1t was
monstrous to have introduced him to
this girl without a word as to her
fathers disgrace. She was he sup
posed, living on the charity of the
Latimers. There would be a faint of
crime in her blood, and perhaps If he
married her it would appear in her
children. The thought was horrible.
But he wanted Clarissa.
When, at last he fell asleep, he had
"iHhOoI maui up his mlHu 10 marry
her.
But when he awoke in the morning
he found his love much less obtrusive
and his business instincts predomi-
nant. Sentiment had faded in the
moonlight.
He wondered how he could have
hesitated. Such a marriage was i'm
possible.

tressed, indeed, to learn you are in
such an unfortunate position, he said.

Sir Humphrey spoke at civic ban

Clarissa heard his speech to the end
in silence. She had expected it. Now
it was her turn. She had long ago
realized the perfect self-conceit of the
man. He had thought that she was
ready to throw herself into his arms,
should he choose to open them. She
had decided mat to be tricked and
deceived by a girl would be an invalu-
able lesson TO him.
She was only acting for his good.
She raised her eyes and looked at
him steadily.
Then she told him that her father
was indeed in a prison. He had peer
there nearly all his life. 1t was one
OF the largest and most important
prisons in England.
He was the governor of it.

Run DOWN WOMEN.

It is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness Of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition Of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
Of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women Of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion Of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring TO the attention Of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women

which he did, but had no faith in it. The

began to get real hungry and took an interest
in things. ! had everything that money and
loving care could supply, and with that and

"I feel as If l should fly to pieces"
How often those words are on 3 wo-
mans lips. They express to the ut
termost the nerve racked condition Of
the body, which makes life a daily
martyrdom. II this condition had
come suddenly It would have been
unbearable. But the transition was
gradual. A little more strain each
day on the nerves. A little more
drain each day of the vitality. ANY
woman would be glad to be rid of
such a condition. Every woman tries
to be rid Of 1t. Thousands OF such
women have been cured by DR..
Pierce's treatment with his "FavOrite
Prescription" when local doctors had
entirely failed to cure. "Favorite
Prescription" contains no opium, CO.
caine or other norcotie.

A boy who had an appetite like
a tanning mill, came in one day
and found that there was a house
full Of company and that he would
have to wait for the second table.
There was chicken on the bill of
fare and Of the chicken the parts
that the boy hankered after espec-
tally were the wings and the
thigh pieces. But he saw that
he was up against it and made no
outward roar. However, as he
watched the people at the. first
table proceed he saw to his
disgust the thighs and wings
c'eaned up by the two breaches
who were present. Still he held
his peace and made no complaint.
When the crowd at the first table
had finally filed themselves and
pushed back, one Of the preachers
came over to where the hungry
boy was and patted him on the
head and commended him for be-
ing a good boy. When the
preacher had moved on, the boy
looked after him and muttered to
himself: club! this pattin' on
the head Is all right as fur as it
goes, but il them ducks had left q

Ut appears that the action of the OPP
poueuts of the Primary election bill in
Racine county, who held mass meet
1ug on Saturday night to protest
against the measure, will count for
1ittle; as no public hearing will be
held by the committee. A Madison
dispatch says:
eft is the opinion of those members
of the Senate committee on privileges
and elections who have been insisting
on taking up the primary bill in add
vance of other important matters that
public hearings are useless. This
opinion was brought out through the
request from both Republicans and
Democrats in Racine county that they
wanted to be heard before action was
taken on such radical measure as
that passed by the Assembly"

SEVERAL bills for preventing ''per-
nicious activity" on the part of State
appointees in case the primary election
idea becomes an enacted law, have
been introduced ia each house at Mad
Ison. One offered by Senator Beach
last Friday is pronounced to be the
most comprehensive of the whole out
put, and there is fair reason to believe
that it may pass both houses. 1t would
be absurd for the Half Breeds, with
their pretensions in favor of purity in
elections, to oppose such bill; and the
Stalwarts would naturally favor it, as
one of their chief reasons for opposing
he primary election phantasm is
the power which it would give to those
who are in office to divert the army of
appointees from the duties which the
State is paying them to perform, to
the working of the primaries in the
interest of the appointing powers. The
possibility of wrongful usage of the
States smaller agencies was never
more conspicuously shown than pre-
vious to our last campaign, and would
justify the enactment of law making
it misdemeanor for any administra-
ton appointee to take an active hand
in debating nominations whether the
primary election bill passes or not

DEcIsIoN IS OF IMPORTANCE

One Made In a Lottery Case by the su-
preme Court Is Wide Reaching.
Washington, Feb. 25.-The decision
Of the supreme court in the Champion
lottery ticket case is of wide-reaching
significance. Briefly it is this: That
q lottery ticket is an article of COM
merce, and that congress possesses the
power to prohibit the carriage or
transfer of lottery matter from one
state to another. It is based on an
act passed in 1895 for the suppression
Of lottery traffic through national and
interstate commerce This law pro-
hib1ted the carriage or transfer of lot
terry matter from one state to another
not only by mail, but also as mer-
chandise and by means other than the.
mails
Attorney General Knox says the de
clsion involves the same questions ex-
actly as will be brought up by anti
trust legislation, and the court covers
practically all the points involved in
Knox's famous Pittsburg speech, sus-
tanning the contentious made by the
attorney general that congress has the
power under the constitution to deal
with the trust abuses.
The all-embracing character of the
decision can be seen from the fact
that the department of justice in ar
guing the case declared practically that
commerce covers everything prac-
tically, including even intercourse, and
that congress has the right to prohibit
traffic in any article, the purposes of
such prohibition not being renewable
by the judiciary. This last contention
was regarded as most extraordinary
and amusing, but the decision seems
to uphold it.

ALTHOUGH much of the sentiment in,
favor of primary election bill was
undoubtedly manufactured, neverthe-
less the Republican party IN the. State
pledged to enact some sort of pri.
rnary election measure at this session
Of the legislature. To say that the
voters cast their ballots for any par
ticular form ofprimary election meas
ure, and that the success of the party
at the polls was 'vindication" of the
Stevens bill. and rebuke to those who
opposed it from honest motives, is the
veriest nonsense. With the experience
of Minnesota to guide them the mem
bers of the Senate ought to be able to
frame a reasonable and conservative
law which will preserve the best feat
ures of the primary election law now
in operation in that State, and e1imi-
nate those that have been proved
impractica BILE. Nothing will be lost
by going little slow in the
matter and since the House "passed
it up' to the Senate without taking
the trouble to consider the bill, that
honorable body will be forgiven if it
takes time to consider the probable ef-
feet of the bill before passing it.
