more popular entertainers at the ma

fact is due more to genuine kindlineSs

Though few women are better known
socially all over the country than is
this very tactful woman, she has still
managed to subordinate herself in all
things of which her husband has q
part. Therefore, although she is q
trained politician, it is not as an ag
gressive personality that she impresses
one, but rather as sweet and gracious
and one more likely to be interested IN
the newest modes than in political mat

Mrs. Timmons' father and mother had
met, studied and courted. They had
misunderstandiAg, school closed, and
they went in different directions. She
married and after her divorce visited
in the home Of Senator Hanna in Cleve-
land. Timmons was a guest of the
Hannas at the same time. 1t was only
a matter of few weeks when every
thing was adjusted, and the wedding
day was set.

Mrs. Fairbanks-Warren. Frederick.

uous in this way, at the time when
Senator Fairbanks was president OF
the Anglo-American commission. Hel
tact added greatly to his popularity
and consequent usefulness.
OF medium height, with quiet though
animated manner, Mrs. Fairbanks
would give the uninitiated an impres.
sion of a woman whose thoughts would
not wander far from her home and hel
children, but close observation changes
this opinion. She has a broad fore
head, indicating fine mentality, and a
forceful mouth. This combination OF
strength is tempered by her eyes
which are large and soft, and a partlc
ularly sweet smile.
Before her marriage Mrs. Fairbanks
was Miss Cornelia Cole, and she met
ner future husband when both were in
Wesleyan university and the young
man was working his way through
college. They were both interested in
the college paper, which later they

See those eyes How intently they
look at you! Out of those eyes the
spirit of some dead Egyptian was sup
posed to look some 1850 years ago.
Opposite the eyes, which are upon the
sides of wooden coffin, lay the head
of the believer who went to his rest in
the hope that his spirit would have a
peaceful existence through eternity.
But IDEAS change. Superstition is now
the name of what was once sacred
faith. Christian hands, with Mohamme-
dan sanction, have opened the graves
and brought to light once more the
corpse and the painted eyes. Here is
the empty coffin at the worlds fair to
tell Il story Of the faith of an fge so
remote that we must wait 600 years
before the beginning of the Christian
era will mark the middle of the period
that has elapsed since this coffin was
made The hieroglyphics of the Egyp-
tian language decorate the box from
end to end, all clear and distinct, not
withstandng that the colors were laid
on $500 years before Christ. The mys-
tic eye was everywhere before the
Egyptian. 1t was favorite subject
for the makers of faience as well as
for the painter and decorator. 1t was
the all seeing eye-the conscience look
ing at one from without and correct
ing his thought and deed.

and who is the temporal and religious
ruler of Zion City. H.. has provoked a
struggle with the Democratic party by
announcing that he will allow no Dem
ocratic challengers at the polls in Zion
City on election day.
Under the state law, every candi-
date is entitled to a challenger at the
polls on election day, and the Demo
cratic leaders in Lake county, In
which Zion City is situated, declare
that the party cannot be deprived of
its representatives at the polls. The
state central committee has been
called upon to aid the Democrats of
Lake county.
Dowie, on the other hand. declares
/ the Democratic challengers useless,
for the reason, he says that no Demo
cratic votes will be cast The legal
question as to whether a challenger
may be selected from outside the
township in which Zion City is sit
uated is also involved in the dispute.
