MADE HER HUSBAND GREAT
Mrs. John A. Logan Has Public and
Private Record of Which She
May Be Proud.

Mrs. John A. Logan knows person.
ally every national character of impor-
lance from President Roosevelt to the
smallest grand army post commander
Mary Simmerson Cunningham was
only II years old when, in 1855, she
became the bride of John A. Logan
then prosecuting attorney of Gallatin
county, Illinois, and hero of the
Mexican war while yet in his teens
Her father, by appointment of Presi-
dent Pierce, was registrar of the land
office of that county, and she had left
her studies at st. Vincents convent
Kentucky, to become her fathers
assistant, and there it was that the
black eagle of Illinois met and wooed
her.
While it has never been argued that
Gen. Logan was anything but a brave
man, yet not many persons know that
his wife deserves the greatest of credit
for the record made by him.
Few women in this country dis
played greater personal bravery dur
ing the civil war than she did, for il
was her ambition that her handsome
husband should become famous She
set the example at her own home by
her courageous deeds, of which she
would write the general, with the re-

WOMEN SEE SEA SERPENT.
DEVILS Lake, N. D., Campers Are
Thrown Into Panic Over Dis
covery of Monster.

Campers on the ChautauQua grounds
at Devils Lake, N. D., were thrown
into CONSERVATION one night recently
by the appearance of what is thought
to be sea serpent in DEVILS lake.
Mrs. Edgar La Rue, wife of a promi-
nent newspaper man; Mrs. F. Craig,
wife of banker of Leeds, n. D., and
Mrs. Carr Cleveland, wife of a promi-
nent business man of this city, were
strolling along the beach when their
attention was attracted by great dis.
turbance in the lake about a mile
from the shore.
Securing opera glasses, they beheld
the head and body of an enormous ami
NAL swimming toward the north shore,
leaving trail of foam in its wake
It's head was large and snake-like and
apparently of enormous length. Ita
body appeared thickly covered with
large black scales. The women were
terrified and went in search of their
husbands. Parties armed with rifles
are patrolling the shores, but nothing
more has been seen Of the serpent.
A party of Indians later reached
town and told of seeing the serpent
earlier in the day, thus confirming the
story of the women.

SURE CURE FOR THE BLUES
Best Remedy Against Them Said to
Be the Wearing of the Best
Things You Have.

If you want to know the best RENE
dy for the blues" said thoughtful
girl to companion, Ell tell you. 1t
isn't to take walk, nor to read aloud
TO an invalid, nor to take a course OF
Mark Twain, nor to buy pound OF
chocolates and eat them all yourself
it is something even simpler than these
remedies. l learned about it from
person who said that while she had
often been threatened with the blues
she had really never had an attack OF
them because she always used the cure
before melancholy had got a hold on
1er.
well, not to keep you in suspense
any longer, the way to cure the blues
il you have them or to stave them OF
If you feel them coming on is to put on
all your best clothes and wear them
until the spasm passes Off, The girl
who told me about this said that no
sooner did she perceive that she was
beginning to think what an unsatis-
factory world this was and no sooner
did she feel that all was vanity than
up to her room she rushed in a hurry
"Once there she would arrange her
hair as deliberately as possible and put
on her best petticoats-if silk, so much
the better-the best gown, collar, hat
and veil that she possessed. A pair of
fresh white gloves, she said, she found
a great efficacy in raising the spirits.
Then she would go out to walk and as
she walked the beneficent effect of her
good clothes would make itself felt
and though she was in the depths when
she started by the time she turned
back she was feeling that all was not
as black as it was painted, and when
she arrived at her own door she was
confident that Gods in His Heaven,

her feet when her family had long
since given up all hope of her recovery.
The effect of good clothes on self-re-
6pect cannot be overestimated. Neither
can it on the spirits.
Perhaps some psychologist will
arise some day to tell us why these
things are true. l can't explain them,
but true they are for sure, and any
woman can bear testimony to the effect

EFFECTS OF EVIL TEMPER
The Man or Woman Who Is Swayes

One of the most desirable things i
life is for every person to learn t.

anything to gain, but rather everything
to lose, when one permits himself to
be swayed by passion under any cir
cumstance. 1t is thus that friends are
lost, enemies made, bad situations ag-
gravated, endless misery created and,
occasionally, the direct tragedies en-
acted. OF course there are times when
one may derive for the moment GER

exactly what he feels, but most surely
must il be followed by a reaction OF
regret Indeed, if a serious person, the
probability is that on becoming calm

made Of himself; he will realize, dow1

Sad Law for Bald Heads.

The new scheme Of street advertis-
ing in Paris, by means of baldheaded
men exposing pates with advertise
ments painted thereon met with Sc.
rious complication at the hands of the
authorities. The law required all ad.
vertisements of this kind to carry the
government stamp, which, after being
stuck on, must be struck with the Off
cial seal. How the baldheaded bear.

undergo the, ordeal of afixing the

Chicago, May 31-In decision an

Judge Grosscup and Jenkins, the so
called "ninety-nine act" was upheld
but restricted in its application to
grant made previous to 1915. The act
vas passed by the Illinois legislature
in 1864. 1t granted the Chicago street
car companies practically free hand,
if the contentious of the companies
We're accepted. The validity of this
act and its scope have been bitterly
contested by the city on the ground
the enactment was obtained dishonest
ly.
Mayor Harrison professed to be
pleased with the decision, he said:
1T does not leave the Union Fraction
company in a position where it can go

leaves them only so per cent of the
bridge entrances to the down town dis
