One wny to Win n Wife.

James Barrie's admirable Crichton'
has had a counterpart in real life. At
least the resemblance is striking. He
was butler who for nearly twenty
five years clevcrly managed the affairs
of three Englishwomen, even to invest
ing their money for them. Through all
the years, although he knew how i'm
portant he was to that little household,
he never forgot that he was the butler
and always preserved the most respect
full attitude toward his mlstreSSes.
Suddenly, however, one morning he
appeared before the women and gave
notice" He had saved up some money
he said, and wanted home of his own.
The household was appalled, at the pros
pect Finally one of the women gasped.
Have you met any suitable person."
"No, ma'am," answered the butler.
"Not M to now. But must make 1t
my business to seek her" The three
women felt the foundations of their
domestic happiness tottering, and In
desperation the most suitable" of the
trio asked the butler to marry her.
After a pause he accepted her hand in
his old respectful manner, and for
twenty five years longer, In the position
Of master, he stayed in the house where
he had been for many years al service.

CHOICE T..iSCLLLANY


There Is being revived In the Paris
press what is probably the strangcst
and most romantic mystery of crime
and perhaps of politics ever enacted
since the days OF the Man With the Iron
Mask. Its hero and central figure Is an
old man of eighty-one, now living at
Nice. In 1886 this man was Captain
Doincau, one of the most brilliant
young French officers in Algeria and n
district commander Of Flcmcen. con-
victed without attempting defense Of IL
murder which he could not have COM
mitted. His sentence was first com
mutetl, then shortened and In a few
months entirely abrogated, while his
name was never struck from the roll
Of officers or even from the Legion Of
Honor, of which he had been n MEM
ber. In 1870 ne raised under Il false
name n corps which did splendid serv-
ice, and MacMahon completed the
strange succession Of incidents by re-
storing to him his grade, with all ar
rears OF pension. To this day nobody
knows either why the deed was done,
who 1t was for whom the captain be-
came victim or what was his reward
for the sacrifice OF his honor and ca
reer. 1t was he who organized Ba-
zaine's escape after the marshal's con-
demnation.

Not u Fair Test.

The American people haye a habIt-how-
ever annoying to Democrats it may be-of
Judging the future by the past and they
have not forgotten the record of the Demo
cratic party in dealing with trusts.-Lona-
coming Star of Homecoming.
Whosoever assumes to speak for "the
American people overloads himself
with responsibility.
For, as a body, "the American people
are prone to misjudgmcnt AS "the sparks
to fly upward" and forgetfulness, the
lesser failing, is common as dirt.
OF the two ''forgetfulncss' should
come first.
For Il long time prior to 1884 they
forgot that Columbus had discovered
America, and after the election that
year they "misjudged' his purpose i'll
that enterprise and felt that it had mis-
carried.
In 1888 they forgot what they had
before remembered and III 1892 again
remembered what they had forgotten. y
1t was along about 1890 they enacted
the Sherman Silver law, Hon. Joseph
q. Cannon, for one, voting "aye."
Three years later they had forgotten
what good thing the Sherman Act was
and had to repeal it, Hon. Joseph G..
Cannon, however. voting "no."
The JOURNAL mentions MIR. Cannon
because in his address notifying Presi-
dent Roosevelt that "the American peo-
pie wanted him to succeed himself,
Mr.. Cannon spoke of 1.-The American
people," including himself, as though
they had forgotten that" 1.-the American
people" had ever done anything for
silver, but there was danger of "the
American people misjudging' a meas
ure "the American people" had "for-
gotten"
This mention is made purely in the
interest of fairness, because the JOUR
NAL does not believe "the American
people, comprising both parties, have a
habit of Judging the future by
the past" anymore than either party has.
But if they have, while remembering
the democratic record concerning the
trusts, they will not forget the republi.
can record concerning silver.
And Judging the future by the past,
they will see that if the trusts will be
safe under democratic custodianship,
the gold standard will be unsafe under
republican auspices.
