up and evinces an air of prosperity,
having just received three coats of
white paints, also the old seats have
been treated TO coat of red paint and
the addition of eleven new benches
fills the house full and affords ample
seating room for all. The estimable
good lady Mrs. Emily Brown, mem

Repented Too Late.

Niagara Falls, y. Y. June 22.-
Distracted by pain. James A. Gil
bert, 40 years of age, a prominent
insurance man of Buffalo, ended his
life today by leaping into the rapids
from Goat Island bridge. Remorse-
full when he struck the water, Gibson
struggled desperately to live. His
plunges and jesticulations attracted
crowd, who rushed in every direction
for a life line. When the line was
finally procured it was thrown over
the bridge, but Gibson, weakened by
his exertions, losened his grasp and
was swept along in the mad rush of
waters, only few feet away from the
brink of the mighty cataract. The
man was tossed upon a rock, and still
conscious, he made last effort to
save himself. There was no possibil-
ity of a rescue, however, and in
few seconds he was lifted bodily from
he boulder by the current, tossed
into the air a few feet, and into the
falls. His body has not yet been re
covered.
Before taking the fatal jump Glib
son threw his hat into the water and
left his coat on the walk of the bridge.
In the coat was found an envelope on
the back of which was written: Il
can stand the aches and pains no
longer. | fear shall never be well.
Let me go before | lose my mind en-
tirely.

A Woman Candidate

Mrs. Ada H. Kepey of Ehingham, Illinois, is a candi-
date in her county for prosecuting attorney.
She does not ask for the Office because she is
but because she is lawyer, andmost af ala lawyer
who knows how and has abundanty shown her willing
to work reforms
This is part of the record on which she stands.
Mrs Kepey has cleaned the county and city pay rolls
of padding and grating thus saving the taxpayers hun
dreds of dollars she has succeeded in Kidding her town of
disreputab females who have been moral pest for
twenty years. she has found homes for many children who
else would have been charge the county, she has saved
the city treasury thousands of dollars by defeating street
paving obbe she has succeeded in securing needed local
legislation
And that is not ALL.
But that is enough
Suppose some had accomplished these practical
reforms He would preen his pumage flap his wings and
like banyard fowl. And he would demend his leg
mate reward from his negbors and friends and get it.
But
Well Mrs. Kepey who has done much for her COM
munity is likely to be defeated for the nomination by
some oquatous young masculine whose manifesto of prac
teal service has not been 1.-THE of hers but who has
worked for the party both in and out of

HOW PAPA
CHOOSES His
SON-IN-LAW
BY Dolly Blythe.

There never was a man living who
didn't think it his undeniable right
to choose his son-in-law.
He picks him out with more or less
wisdom, according to the life he him
self has led and according to his own
successes, disappointments and en-
joyments.
There is one thing father" always
wants. He wants his daughter to be-
more extravagant than her mother
began. He expects the daughter to
start in life at the point her mother
reached only after years of failures
and endeavors. He didn't think of
that when he married the girls
mother but he expects it of a SON.
in-law of his own.
The father wants son-in-law that
the world will recognize. He would
like nim to be a lawyer whose elo-
quence may stir the people to APP
plause. Or he would like to see him
a politician. big enough to cut figure
in the political world.
OF course he expects his son-in-law
to buy his daughter as many silk
dresses as he has bought for her. He
is sure that she won't be happy I'M
less she has all the comforts that
she has been accustomed to.
He wants his son-in-1aw to be
large, well built and handsome. No
matter what the girls mother did,
~, 70 n
man his own friends will turn to
look at.
Unless he is the exception, he will
want all the son-in-law is, all he
knows, and all that he can do to show
in his voice, his step, his every action.
He can't take anything on trust, no
matter what his wifcs father had to
take on faith.
But the girl herself sees flaws in
her fathers judgment.
What good does it do her to have
a husband who spends his time ad-
dressing a clamorous multitude, If
when he comes home he has no word
of tenderness for her?
What will it add to her happiness
that her fathers friends admire the
husband who scatters his smiles
upon the passers-by and saves his
frowns for her?
What does the daughter care how
much the world thinks he knows.
when she knows that he never knows
when she is distressed. worn or ill?
When the fathers have to live with
these impressive sons-in-law, then it
will be time for them to choose them.
The woman who marries her lover
merely because he has the world at
his feet, is likely to lead a lonely life.
Too much world leaves little time or
attention for a wife.

Your rival in business is no such enemy as you find

Individuality! Throw all of yourself-body sol and
