Miss Cartwright, in her SUI

facing the doctor in the great bare
office Of the Emergency Hospital. Her
hand trembled as she rested it on the
desk at her side, but the man saw
mo signs of agitation. He was con-
Scious only that this slender woman
was looking unfalteringly into his eyes
and that by \the tone Of her voice she
was filling him with the numbness
OF despair. Was it sheer force of will,
or was it utter lack Of emotion that
Kept the face which confronted him

DR.. Hudson knew that his own face
Kept its professional mask, though he
breathed like a man who had been
cunning. A white-capped nurse glanced
an at the door and slipped away be-
fore he spoke again.

ONE DAY AT HOME.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

NN.~O~~eO~O~O~0~~~~~~N
II tell you," said young Mr.. Morti-
mer, proudly, on his way to bed, you
don't know how envy you, my dear,
the opportunity Of being with that
youngster every hour Of the day and
watching his little mind unfold like
like a flower" he concluded tritely,
but with undiminished earnestness. If
matters had rested there, says the Chi
cago News, all would have been well.
But after some comment by his wife
he continued.
mo timer he observed, with SUI
perior smile. II often hear you say
that, my dear, and suppose you don't
know the curiosity it awakens in my
mind The curiosity continued Mr..
Mortimer, 'tas to what you manage
to do with your time to fill it up. 1t
is a long day from seven to seven,
surely long enough to have an hour for
almost everything that might fall
within woman's sphere; yet some
how you seem to miss much.'
..
her mind was born a resolution.
The next evening after dinner Mrs.
Mortimer approached her husband
with few sheets of paper. THE
diary of day, my DEAR she said,
as she thrust the papers into his hand.
This is what he read:
Five O'clock. Baby woke UP, and
would not go to sleep again. I took
him down to the library so that his
father should not be disturbed at such
an early hour, and kept him amused
until seven.
'Seven o'clock. Managed to get
dressed for breakfast, but was unable
to eat it with my husband owing to
the fact that baby got badly scratch
! ed on pin, which his father gave him
to play with, and had to be soothed.
Eight o'clock. Gave baby his bath
| and breakfast. At breakfast he up
set his bowl of porridge over his clean
dress, and so he had to be undressed,
bathed and dressed all over again.
Mine o'clock. Took baby out in his
go-cart to market and for little air.
ing Had planned to make little in
! formal call, but baby grew fretful, and
had to bring him home and put him
| to sleep.
eleven o'clock. Baby woke up and
tried to swallow a button. Send for
| The doctor, but meantime got the but
ton out Of his throat with my finger.
Twelve o'clock. Baby spilled a bot
tie of ink all over the library table
md the rug under it. Also over him
self.
Zone o'clock. Baby's third bath to-
day. Luncheon. Unexpected com
pany.
'sThree o'clock. Got baby to sleep
after an hours trying.
-Four o'clock. Baby woke up fever
ish from his throat. Fell and bumped
his head badly.
''Four thirty. Baby fell and bumped
his head again in the same place. Was
naturally irritated and fretful.
'Six o'clock. Dressed baby for the
fifth time to-day, so that when his
blissful, ignorant father came home he
might think day with baby heaven

There's song for the man who is lucky and bold,
For the man who has fate his side;
There cheers for the folk that jnging the gold

But the who is striving to get to the land
And facing the hungry waves crest,

The fellow that's doing his best.
But he has his rewards when the story Is done,
Though we smile as he plods his way.
For his self-esteem is the prize he won,

And he knows the affection Of home Of friends
And the pleasures Of honest-earned rest;
There peace and good will, twilight descends

POLITICAL POINTS

Republican political circles are consid. esraDiy sn surred up by reports that a scheme IS on foot to prevent the Ohio deierstas 70 the Republican National Cof,vention rom being instructed for Rcossyelt. coupled with this report came the asser- ton that Senator Foraker, who has here. tofore posed as the champion of Roose- friendship for the President, and that. in. stead of being enthusiastically in favor of the delegation from the Buckeye state be- ing instructed for the President he waa in favor of 1t going to the National Con- vention uninstructed. A friend of Foraixer made this statement today:
 There were two persons that Senator Foraker desired, for personal reasong, to have removed. The President referred the matter to Senator Hanna. and the latter informed him that he saw no reason why the men should be removed and he him self would feel personally aggrieved if the President turned them out for For al.er.
 When Foraker called at the White House and demanded the removal Of these persons, the President told him that he could not comply with his request and Foraker left the White House feeling angry and bitter, ana expressed himself to his friends as thoroughly dissatisfied with the position the President had taken. He shortly afterward saw Senator Quay and informed that politician that Rooses velt was ungrateful and could not be res lied upon"
 Senator Foraker, whose position in Ohio has been greatly strengthened by the death of Senator Hanna. Is now reported to be more independent than ever and more determined to show the President that he Is not the man to be trified with.

Chicago Chronicle.
 The Wisconsin Democracy, represented by leaders of all factions, has buried the free silver issue and has pledged it's undi- vided support to the candidacy of Edward .. Wall of Milwaukee for the Democratic presidential nomination. Democrats of resenting every Congressional District in tho State. met in Milwaukee Wednesday night and, without attempting to direct or restrict debate, adopted Wall resolutions without a dissenting voice.
 It was not a star-chamber gathering; 1t was not a packed town meeting in which free expression of opinion was overawed by the clatnor of adverse retainers. The was invited. if protest failed of hear Ing It lost by default and not by lack of opportunity. Colonel George w. Bird of Madison, known as the Nestor of the free silver movement in Wisconsin presided.
 The action of the party leaders was ta- ken under no mistaken notion as to the facts. MT. Wall is known throughout the country as having opposed the free silver platforms. Leaders of all factions in his own State know precisely where he stands on matters of party doctrine. They also know that he has given the best years ana efforts of his life to the welfare of the Democracy in State and nation and that whatever may have been his per- sonal opinions he has invariably deferred to the organized judgment of his party.
 uC 8OSPCA OA CSScHItd-lS Dy Wisconsin Democrats combines example and rebuke to party leaders In otber States who are caviling over questions of judgment in 1896 and 1900 in the face of a vulnerable foe. It Is a hopeful sign when Democrats distinguish between perversity and obstinacy on the one hand and reso- luteness. nrmness and horse sense on the other. The Wisconsin Democracy, al- though representing a Republican State, may justly claim the distinction of having made the first real declaration of war against Rooseveltism. It has left the in- fant popullsm upon the doorstep of Gov ernor La Toilette, the Wisconsin State ex- ecutlve, and is opposing a solid front to It's logical and historic foe.
 In agreeing to waive non-essentials that they may unite for their country's good and party's success Wisconsin Democrats have given evidence of quality of native wisdom which often has distingIish he'd their State.

THEY FEEL H1s BLOWS.

It was perfectly natural that our Re- publican contemporaries should strain their intellccts in the effort to find flaws in MT. Clevelands recent article int The Saturday Evening Post Finding no way to answer his statements by argument they essay to do 1t by ridicule. One, of them calls the article "a tissue of gilt fering generalities," and ayers that .it sheds nothing but darkness on the polit- ical situation." It asserts that 'the only thing the ex-President makes anywhere near clear is that he would have the Jo- nah of Bryanism dumped overheard, and even this he indicates in lang age which nobody not thoroughly versed in his opin- ions and in the recent history of Amer ican politics would ever guess the mean ing of."
 All this is really amusing for it shows that the Republicans have no reply to make to the charges MT. Cleveland did not set out to write a history of Republi- can Shortcomings, for he well knew that no mere magazine article would afford him space for that. He would need to
 
 Jeremiah to tell all that is to be told of Republican misdeeds and failures to do what they should do He only set out in general terms some of the sins of omis- sion and commission for which that party should be brought before the judg- ment bar of the American people, and he old it in the plain and convincing English In the use of which he is a postmaster. He had neither the time nor space to go into all the unpleasant details, nor did he need to- All who care to understand him can do so, and the way some of the Re- publicans are squirming is conclusive proof that they are not so dense as they try to make it appear.
 For the same reason MT. Cleveland did not undertake to prepare text book for Democrats to learn from, or to formulate Q code of laws for their government His object was to point out in general way some of the duties of the party, some of the pitfalls for 1t to avoid and some of the leading principles for it to follow. He is understood by those who care to un derstand him, and they know that his de- ductions are sound and his advice good There are men in the party who claim not to understand him, and it is because they do not care to understand the truth as it is spread out before them. In the quaint old language of John Haywood:
 Who is so deafe or so blinde as is hee
 That wilfully will neither heare nor see. That is the unfortunate condition of many of MT. Clevelands critics. To ad, init that they fully understand him is to admit that they have been wrong. and perhaps we shouldn't be too hard on them if they hesitate to make such ad- mission. They may pass MT. Cleveland words by as "glittering generalities." but that doesn't alter the fact that there is not today in the United States a man who is listened to with more attention and re- spect than he is, nor one whose words carry more weight.
