The Age of Pretense.

Pretense is one of the fashions of the
time. PretenSe is becoming SO per-
fected and so general that if a per.
son should put off all pretense he
would run the risk of being charged
with affectation.
Next to having, the best thing now
adays is seeming to have. There Is
really some foundation in reason for
this kind of pretense, since it has be-
come the fashion of the world to meas
ure mans success in life by the dol.
lars he has made.
Here Is cable message which tells
Of new phase Of pretense:
"Paris-The existence of a new and
curious business in Paris has just trans.
spired. This Is the hiring out of we'd
ding presents to brides, so that they
may impress their friends and their ac-
quaintances with the number and
value Of their gifts. Jewelry, lace,
furs, etc., are lent out for a considera-
ton, and after they have served their
purpose and been duly chronicled In
the newspapers they are returned to
the owners. 1t appears that a well
known Paris jeweler does a large bust

human heart, even though unencour-

"a professor in an eminent Amer
lean university thought it wise to
bring up his children without giving
them any religious instruction and ac-
quaintance with the Bible until they
should reach the age Of understanding.
One Of these children, boy, of course,
went up to the family garnet to amuse
himself one rainy day. Out Of the
rookery there he dug up an extremely
dusty and dilapidated volume and de-
voured a portion of it's contents with
the greatest possible interest and
relish.
after a time he came running to
his mother bubbling over with delight
and exclaimed: oh, mamma, found

Obituary-Brackett.

Mrs. Bracket, whose maiden name
was Eunice B. Morse, was born in
Hunstburg, Geanga county, Ohio, June
IL, 1885, and was the oldest of six
children, all of whom survive her
four brothers and one sister: A. C..
Morse. of Lancaster; E. S. Morse, of
Fennimore; A. E. Morse,s of Granite
Falls, MIMI; G. M. Morse, of Nevada,
Iowa; and Mrs. M. M Bracket, of
Waterloo, Iowa.
Mrs. Bracket had the usual edu-
cational advantages in early life at
tending school at Hiram seminary,
where one Of her teachers was James
A. Garfield. Through life she continu-
ed to be a great reader and we'll in
formed.
She came to Wisconsin in 1856, with
her mother, sister and brother, and
was married Dec. 81, 1857, to John M.
Brackett, who died at Bloomington.
May l, 1899.
From this union there was family
of eight, the three youngest surviving
her. At an early day she united with
Baptist church in Bloomington. In
this place she remained until Sept. l,
1901, when she moved to Lancaster
afiecward uniting with the Baptist
church in that place. Two years ago
her health began to decline and on
Friday, July 81, 1905, she passed away
aged SO years, l month and ten days.
The deceased lived quiet life, with
sometimes tinge of sadness, yet
never offering complaint in the midst
of trials, and those who knew her best
appreciated her real worth. Those
acquainted with her were imp1 ssed
with her unselfishness, denying her
self for the sake of others, thoughtful
to the last lest others should do be-
yond their strer 9Th.
Her strong characteristic was her
unwavering faith in an over-ruling
power for good.
Kippling's occasional was admired
by her SO much, that when it was sung
recently at the teachers institute she
wished everything stopped that all
might listen, and as if in answe to
her unspoken wish it was sung at the
hour when she was dying.
The Sunday before her death she
gave smiling assent when her 81 ter
offered to read to her. OpeningsG E e
billie her eyes fell on the fourteenth
chapter of John, and reading "Let not
your heart be troubled" She caught
up the words, and repeated with her
until her voice failed.
To those who knew her best "last
words" are not needed. Her earnest
Christian life spoke for itself. Again
and again during her sickness she said:
cts all right, it's all right"
A large number of friends went
from Lancaster to Bloomington, where
on Sunday, July 23rd,th funeral serv-
ices was held in the Baptist church,
the pastor, Rev. Fl. E. Fuller efficiat-
ing, taking for his text, "Hencefo1th
there is laid up for me crown of
righteousness" The singing was
beautiful and impressive. A very
large number of people were present
at this service. The burial was at the
cemetery in Bloomington, where low
ing friends gathered to express their
sincere sympathy to the bereaved.

upon the peculiar 'grafts" enjoyed by mem
bers of the United States senate and their
political associates, the disposition OF those
charged with the administration of federal
affairs being, as rule to steer clear OF mat
tiers involving interference with the perquis-
ties of politicians powerful enough to hold
seat in the highest legislative body In the
land. Cases have been known in which sem
ators of the United States openly admitted
practices which, in individuals Of less power.
would be treated as criminal but of which
the law officers of the national government
found it convenient to take no cognizance.
In the Mitchell case, then, what is tantamount
to a new precedent is established. Senator
Mitchell found himself brought to book under
an administration which cares nothing about
the supposed prerogatives OF political poten-
tates The conviction Of this man furnishes
a significant object lesson to all OF his kind.
Clearly the time has arrived when high POI
litical and official standing can no longer
serve to secure immunity from the punish
meslt due to Illicit practices whereby the
nation is despoiled ard the standard OF OIL
cial morality is lowered For lis the people
should be grateful. 1t is, in truth, happy
dispensation whereby it is made possible to
undo the mischievous old order Of things and
to insure that equality of all men before the
law which prohibits the existc-ce OF privi-
legged vice and crime.
