Stanley Richards Cotton, prominent Young ply

Cuperate, stopping at a hosiery known Third
House. Other guests there were Professor Raven
den eminent scientist, and his daughter Dolly
and Harris Haynes, newspaper man, who had be-
friended Helga Johnston, adopted daughter of the
proprietor of Third House. The night of Coltons
arrival a shipwreck occurred One of the rescued
sailors, Petersen by name, discovered to have
been killed by terrible wound through the back.
Cotton and Dolly subsequently found a dead sheep
the beach with deep wound in its back. Cotton
learned in conversation with Hega that his brother
Everard had been Helgas sweetheart, opposition of
the Cotton family having estranged the couple.

shipwreck, gave a wonderful exhibition of knife

stood facing the height with squinted eyes and

To delay him was the one chance for Colton's

fessor, and dismissed the thought instantly. Time

done he was in mid air, gddy terror duling his

To be such successful wife, to re- tain the love and admiration of her husband. to inspire him to make the most of himself, should be a woman's constant study.
 If a woman finds that her energies are Tagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes. she has backache, headaches, bearing. down pains, nervousness, whites. irre9. ularities or the blues, she should start at once to build up her system by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E.

We can almost see the grimaces on the face of a Republican editor when his paper speaks commendingly of the work of Mayor Weaver in cleaning out the corrupt gang in Philadelphia and cleansing the city of It's foul brood. Many of them are doing t, to their credit be it said, but 1t must worry their minds no little.
 There is not a large city in all the country which has been more complete ly dominated by the Republicans than this one. and there Is not one which has been more completely controlled by political scoundrels than it Is. In almost every department of city gov ernnient graft and venality and every been the rule, and of late the criminals have taken little pains to hide their dirty work. In fact. some of 'he most infamous practices that officials can De guilty of have been carried on with no pretence of concealment. The rasoals have rather been proud of theIr sue cess at footing.

It not only increased the Re- publican majorities in all elections but enabled the paid tools and henchmen of the bosses to earn their wages by bringing up good maJorities from their respective holdings. It is reasonable to suppose that the man who eou.d show the best results when the votes were counted would get best pay.

It only takes about four weeks for a steamer to sail from san Francisco to Tahiti.

'Tts the second turn to inc left after you leave San Fran cisco" said Robert Louis, whose memory of maps only ran to recollection that in going to Samoa from the Pacific coast one always stopped first at Honolulu 7.
