DEVOTION OR DESERTI0N.

The other day, in New York, man
was arrested for grand larceny two
weeks after his marriage. The bride
Immediately applied for divorce. And
thus the question has presented itself:
Ought a wife TO desert her husband
if he commits a crime?
Answering this question, the Judge
of the court refused to grant the divorce,
holding decided opinions concerning
the woman who deserts the man she
has sworn to love and cherish. The
Judge said: "NIany a man charged
with crime has been found
to be innocent. The duty of wife at
such time is to be at her husbands
side and by her presence soothe him in
this hour of trial"
Old fashioned but good. That sort
of affection that flies on the first sight

loss those who love Us would 90 against

by her husbands side when the world

after years the reward of
faith and devotion. Many a man

the world has called guilty and has
won out in the end, saving both him

WILL 1T cUREa

The report that cure for consump'
tion has been discovered in one OF the
principal hospitals Of New York will
command attention, if for no otaer
reason than that great many people
in this country are suffering from the
disease. But it must not be understood
that because the doctors, in the most
favorable circumstances, have stopped
the progress of the disease in a lim-
tied number of patients the same re-
suit may be. expected in every case.
The details of the cure are so simple
that if it happens to be true, as the
enthusiasts believe, that consumption
can be cured in this way, it will indeed
prove of inestimable value and take
rank among the greatest achievements
of medical science. But We have heard
of the consumption cure before. 1t has
been heralded on other occasions with
the same positiveness of statement and
the same show of proofs that accom-
pany this latest announcement. That
all of them have failed is proved by
the statement that another cure has
been discovered.
The white plague is the curse of the
world. Its victims number thousands
each year, and every effort to stay its
progress has defeated the brightest
minds of the medical profession.
If the cure announced recently will
cure, wonderful step has been made
toward the preservation of humanity.

Governor Herriek of Ohio, few days
ago received from Miss l.. NeaP of
Bedford a request for a permit to don
mems wearing apparel. The woman
SAYS she works on a farm and that
skirts interfere with her usefulness. Sne
wants to know if the governor cannot
give her permission to get into trous-
ers. At present, such request cannot
be granted, but the letter was referred
to the attorney general, with the sug-
gestion that perhaps he would recon-
mend an amendment to the law to suit
such case.

TROUBLE EVERYWHERE.

"Neyer trouble trouble until troubles
troubles you" is a very god rule to
practice. Trouble comes unsolicited to
everybody, and who is there who is sane
that has not his share of trouble. The
simple-minded person for whom so many
have so much pity sens as free from
trouble as it is possible for a human
being TO be, and yet we would not care
to exchange places with such one.
There is no occupation or business that
can be engaged in that Is free from
trouble. The farmer has his trouble and
disappointment. His best horse or COW
dies, his field of grain is leyeled in the
storm that comes without a moments
warning, drouths or floods come and
blast his hopes for an abundant crop.
Trouble is not by any means confined
alone to the farmer, for the merchant

To large extent the papers of a
town are responsible for the good name
of the town. Nearly every city
contains Objectionable features, at least
in the estimation of some of its citizens,
but the wisdom of condemning our.
selves in the eyes of the world every
time something or some condition arises
to our individual displeasure is very
questionable. To run down our own
city is poor policy, rather had we better
stand up for our town, even though
conditions, socially and not otherwise
be not TO our liking. II is not neces.
sary that we close our eyes TO these
conditions, rather that we work quietly
to their betterment.
