DOMESTIC NEGLECT.

The Tragedy of Little Things That
Arc Lea Undone.
The Judge and spectators In q Kan
sas City courtroom laughed when I
husband testified that his wife gave
him only mechanical kisses"
Then the lawyers devoted many min
utes to the question, what IL a me-
chanical kissY' They decided that It
was salutation given only through q
sense Of duty, and then they laughed
some more.
They didn't go far enough. They
might have called It tragedy.
With most women affection lasts. 1t
burns as strongly In old age as In gold
en- youth. A caress means a world Of
joy to them.
Some men forget. They grow care
less. Carelessness Is often species Of
selfishness. Once It was privilege to
press a lovers kiss on the lips Of
wife at the door when leaving In the
morning. again as a warm greeting
that always marked the Homecoming
at night.
And one morning the man forgot the
caress and lost himself in business.
And shadow fell on romance, and
the woman wept. She tried to be brave
and sensible. She tried to laugh at the
silly fear that he didn't care for her.
She assured herself a hundred times
that 1t was such little thing and that
it was natural for him to forget and
that it was unreasonable for her to ex-
pect the joy of the honeymoon through
life. She wiped away her tears and re-
solved to hide her grief and be kind.

And the man never knew. Perhaps
some day he went into court and com.

lect isn't always confined to lack Of

John Banvard, who afterward be-

out in his boyhood, In the early thir-

in a fiatboat with number OF compan-
ions. They built their boat on the Wa

exhibiting dioramic views In the cabin

For two days, wrote the sixteen
year-old Barnard, we had nothing

MARvELS or MEMORY.


Feats of Famous Men That Seem Al

Some examples of the maryels OF

the highest authority Cyrus knew the
name of each soldier in his army. 1t Is
also related Of Themistocles that he
could tell by name every citizen of
Athens, although the number amount
ed to 10000. Mithridates, king of Pom
tus, knew all his $4,000 soldiers by
their right names.
Scipio knew all the inhabitants of
Rome. Seneca complained of old age
because he could not, as formerly, re-
peat 1000 names in the order in which
they were read to him, and he stated
that on one occasion, when at his
studies, 200 unconnected verses having
been reciteu by the different pupils Of
his preceptor, he repeated them in a
reverse order, proceeding from the last
to the first.
Thomas Cranmer committed to mem
ory In three months an entire transla-
ton Of the Bible. Euler, the mathema-
tician, could repeat the "Eneid," and
Leibnitz, when an old man, could re-
cite the whole Of Virgil, word for word.

only the whole Bible, but all of Homer,
Virgil and Horace, besides many other

Congressman Dick
 To Succeed Hanna
CONGRESSMAN DICK TO SUCCEED
 HANNA.
It Is Thought in Washington That the Will of the Departed Senator Will Be Carried Out.
HANK SNODGRASS.

Washington. D. C.. Feb. 19.-A lead CT high in the republican party today told an interesting story which makes 1t reasonable to believe that Congress man Dick will be chosen as senator. The story as told conforms to certain known facts. The gentleman said that a week before the last republican state convention was held in Colum- bus. conference occurred at a resi- dence in Akron between Hanna, Her. rick and Dick. Senator Hanna at the time had misgivings as to the time he had to live. and said to Herrick and Dick that he considered them as his boys, and expected, them to take up his work, which they both knew. With respect to Herrick, it is said that Hanna was following out McKinleys wishes in taking care of the present governor.
 There was demand for recognition for Warren B. Harding that was too strcng to be overlooked and it was agreed in the conference that Herrick should be the nominee for governor, with Harding for second place. There was also a distinct understanding that Herrick should not voluntarily relin- quish the governorship, as that would throw the office into the hands of the Foraker element of the party by mak- irg Harding governor. There were certain agreements to be carried out, and a change in e4overndt's office would violate these promises.
 Hanna was anxious to carry Cuya- hoga county. and by making the con cession to his opponents in Harding's nomination he believed he would be able to do so. For this reason it is believed that Governor Herricl1 cannot entertain for moment the idea of gO- ing to the senate. and the Hanna fol lowers. including Herrick himself, must support Dick for the senatorship.
 While many names are mentioned. all are speculations, and those who give the situation serious consideration are growing firmer in the belief that Dick will be the man.

 Some of the heaviest buying done on the local board for many a day was transacted yesterday. with the mar ket also the strongest it has been in a long time. The heaviest dealing was done in the Bonanza stocks, and in several instances very perceptible ad vances were mace. L. S. & P. made the biggest advance. and though there were inquiries for the stock. but very little of it was offered. The stock sold at s170, which is the highest it has yet reached. Some look for this stock to rise still considerably higher. and there is no doubt that it is one of the best buys on the board. Pitts burg x Duluth also came in for its share of attention, and advar-e6 to S61. Calumet & Pittsburg reached s32 12. and Junction was in demand at s16.50.
