, ter of Mrs Duncan's brother. All ther young lives Kettle and the re- calcitrant Henry had been the warm est friends and companions. and as they grew to maturity they became sweethearts rather than friends. When Henry went away, raging with anger and burning with a sense of in- justice. his heart was too full of bit- terness to leave room for any softer | emotion. and he had not even seen Kettle. He simply walked out and the great world swallowed him. Hettie heard of the quarrel and all it's details through the whispered and trembling | condolences of the other young folks of the Duncan family.
 Knowing both father and son well, she divined the whole situation with womans intuition and straightway she went to William Duncan and gave him a piece of her girlish mind. which surprised the old man as much as 1t angered him.
 You are hard-hearted, pig headed, selfish man, MT. Duncan" she

 "Perhaps 1t was you who taught him to defy his father and set his

And you drove him away, all on account of lno-account colt that you thought more of than your own flesh and blood, and we'll none of us ever see him again, and hate you.
 view Kettle had been forbidden the | nuncan home, but she never failed up- on meeting William Duncan, to taunt | him about the absent son and to ask him if he felt happy over his absence. For Henry Duncan never had been heard from after his stormy parting
 from his father.
 OF late the father had shown signs
 of qrieving in his hard way over the shsent boy, and on this Thanksgiving
 season-always a family festival at tbe Duncan home-he had surprised
 everybody by asking that Kettle be hidden to the feast and had sent
 word to her that he did not blame her for her spirit; that he rather liked her

 bury the hatchet.
 Hettie accepted the olive branch and came, and the festivities began. But

USEFUL FACTS
About Coughs, Colds and BEenehial Troubles Given to the People of Montgomery by Our Drnggist,

"In conducting large drug business we naturally meet a great many peo- pie at this season of the year who suf- fer from coughs, colds and bronchial troubles.
 "As these troubles are easily con- trolled if the right means is taken we want to say to the people of Mont Romery that we guarantee our cod liv- CT oil preparation, vinol will cure hanging on colds. stubborn coughs, bronchial and lung troubles. quicker than any preparation we have ever sold, because 1t is the most perfect preparation of cod liver oil ever com pounded. It contains no oil or Srease to clog the system and upset the stomach. yet 1t does contain every one of the fifty-odd medicinal elements ac- tually taken from fresh eods' lfvers n a highly concentrated form, and is therefore the best cod liver prepara- ton obtainable. Vinol is not patent medicine; everything in it is named on the back label of the bottle and you know what you are taking so without reservation we indorse and guarantees vinol to strengthen every organ In the body 10 do its work as nature intended to cure coughs. colds, bronchial troubles, increase the appetite. build up the run down, tired and debiiitafed, ana create strength and renewed vitality for the aged.

ever, to answer your inquiry so far as 1t may be necessary to remove an error under which you rest concerning the status of the Isle of Pines and your rights as residents of that island
 Territory of Cuba.
 There is no. procedure under wnicn you and your assistants can lawfully establish a territorial government in that island. The island is lawfully subject to the control and government of the republic of Cuba and you and your assistants are bound to render obedience to the laws of that country so long as you remain in the island.
 If you fall in that obedience you will be justly liable to prosecution in the Cuban courts and to such punish ment as may be provided by the laws of Cuba for such offenses IS you com init. You are not likely to have any greater power in the future. The treaty now pending before the Senate If approved by that body. will relin- Quish all claim of the United States to the Isle of Pines. In my judgment Ne United States has no substantial clam to the Isle of Pines. The treaty mere ly accords to Cuba what is hers in ac- cordance with international law and justice.
 Never Has Been American.
 Al the time of the treaty of peace which ended the war between the Uni ted States and Spain, the Isle of Pines was. and had been for several centuries a part of Cuba. have no doubt what ever that 1t continues to be part of Cuba, and that 1t is not and never has been territory of the United States, This Is the view which President Roosevelt authorized the pending treaty and Mir. Hay signed 1t and expect to urge It's confirmation.
 Nor would the rejection of the pend ing treaty put ap end to the control oi Cuba over the island. A treaty direct ly contrary to the one now pending would be necessary to do that, and there is not the slightest prospect of such q treaty being made. You may be quite sure that Cuba will never consent tC give up the Isle of Pines, and that the United States will never try to compe ner to give 1t up against her will.
 Very respectfully,

Tammany pressure is really being exerted, according to Washington re- norts to Southwestern papers, to have Hearst barred from the Democratic congressional caucus.

 ey.
 Chicago News.
 When lady of the olden time wished to test her lovers affection she had him buckle himself into his hard ware and go forth to combat. If he came back successful his affection was sincere and she was his. If he had to be removed from the scene of festivi- ties on a stretcher the issue was clos ed and was not considered further. Brought into comparison with the love- testing system adopted by Chicago woman. this procedure seems not only crude but inadquate. The Chicago wo- man for d long time had been grieved by a suspicion that her husband did not love her, but her money only, so she threw the money-$l5,O0O Of It. into the stove and studied his faclal expression as it burned. If she had hoped that this interesting action would cause his countenance to light up with smiles of tender rapture, she miscalcuIated On the contrary, the evidence shows that he gave signs Of disapproval, even of displeasure Af- ter such proof of the hOllowness Of his affection. 1t is not surprising to learn that the couple have separated.
 The new method of testing love by throwing family currency into the kitchen range evidently has sternly practieal character which befits the age. It is more strenuous and proba- bIv more effective than the tests an-

Miss Helen Gould, with the inteili- gent assistance of Miss Elizabeth Alt man. annually disburses $500.00o in charity. Probably Miss Gould supports directly and indirectly more charities than any person living. While 1t does not mean that she gives away such sums as are recorded of the Rockefeller ana Carnegie charities, on the best au- thorfty her donations annually reach 800 or more beneficiaries.
 Miss Altman is a Vassar graduate and first met her present employer some seven years ago. when Miss Gould was visiting the college. Since then she has been an active agent in giving away nearly s4.000,000.

 He waved Henry to his old place where the vacant chair stood, and as Henry looked at the vacant chair the tears stood in his eyes.

For one thing, it is too expen- sive. and many women who could not afford a $15,000 test or even costing $15, would be handicapped, cheaper tests being unreliable. husband whose nature inclined toward decep- tion might be able to mask his true feeling under an air of equanimity on seeing a trifIe like a s2 bill pass away in the flame.
 For these and many other reasons it would be far better for the lady harassed by doubts to resort to meth ods less strenuous and severe, such as serving cold meals or destroying the crockery. Dropping china dinner service on the floor piece by piece meantime reciting, He loves me. he loves me not" probably would elicit some suggestive action on the part oi the most indifferent spouse.

dreadful--the annuIment of marriage
by the Pope-comes with very poor
judgment Or poor memory from one
whose whole church was built on mar
rage annulment. The Pope had re-
fused the annulment of the marriage
of Henry VIII with Katherine. 1t
transcribed his power, whereupon
Henry annuled it himself and insti-
tuted the Church of England.
If there ever was an occasion when
the Pope ought to have yielded, it was
then. The northern nations of
Europe had revolted against the
church; discomfort was seething in the
rest, when the king, who had just been
named Defender of the Catholic faith.
announced his intention to drag Eng
land into schism unless his request
was granted. Though the Pope was
advised that he could do so by bishops,
universities and theolOgians and urged
to it by every motive of public policy,
he refused, and England was forever
lost to the church. Instead of de-
claiming against annulments of mar
riage, Anglicans should be partial to
them.
To say that Catholic annulments are
more dreadful than divorces is to
claim that they have done more harm
:, the United States, for instance, than
t.:e 10000 divorces of last year, or the
100000 in thirtyfour years. not to
speak of the rest Of the world. But as
nobody has heard of anything like a
corresponding 10000 Or 100000 annul-
ments, the statement cannot be taken
seriously. Nor is an annulment to be
considered more dreadful because Mr..
McBee assures us that "no Catholic
knows whether his marriage may not
he annuled."
Catholics are not alarmed by any
such possibility. They know perfectly
well that the whole fight has been
from the beginning to get men married
and to keep them so. Bishop Doane,
who regretted not being at the meet
ing, is the authority for the assertion
that the reasons for annulment are in
Vulnerable. The wonder is if the rea-
sons for annulment are innumerable
that the annulments themselves are
not innumerable. Or are Catholics so
fond Of marriage that they neglect
such multitudinous opportunities of
freedom?
AS matter of fact there is no such
thing as an annulment of marriage. or
the disruption of complete and valid
marriage, but there are judicial declar-
ations that certain essential conditions
have not been fulfilled, with the result
that the marriage never was validity

business arrangement may have rem
dered them invalid from the begin
ming. Even children with their cate

AWFUL OUTCOME
If the People of America Con-
tinue the Divorce Evil.
There Will Soon be No Civiliz-
alton to Lestroy.

Speculations arc rife as to the prob
able outcome of the struggle at Port
Arthur. If the Japanese are success
full in the war now being waged in the
East will there be yellow peril?"
Will there he tidal wave of pagan
invasion that will shake the founda-
lions of civilization? Probably not.
But if the people of America keep on
in the way they have been moving for
the past years, so far as marriage and
divorce are concerned, there will be no
civilization to destroy. Where there
are no Christian families there is no
Christian civilization. France is now
engaged in Il relentless war against
Christianity. but America is doing
more in the matter Of divorce to de-
stroy Christian civilization than all
Europe, says Rev. Thomas j. Camp
hell, S. ].
Last year saw 10000 divorces
granted in the United States, and dur
ing the past thirty-four years 100000
divorces have been granted in this
country. What does this mean? 1t
means that 1.4OO.O0O men and women
have had their homes broken and that
ut least 100000 children have been
robbed of their parents. Is not this
more to be feared than any "yellow
pcril?'
What right has the state to grant Il
divorce? We are told in answer to the
question that the state has the right to
annul contract and that marriage is
legally contract between two par
ties. Granted. But the state has no
right to change the nature Of a con-
tract. and in granting divorce it does
this. A marriage is by nature indis-
soluble. and the state has no right to
change its nature. The state is formed
for the sole purpose of safeguarding
the rights of individuals. and in grant
ing divorces the state violates the
sacred rights of individuals.
nhe opponents of legislation against
divorce claim that such legislation en-
forces celibacy upon divorces. 1t no
more enforces celibacy than does the
army. wherein thousands of young
men are compelled to remain single.
There is third party in the mar
riage contract whose claims are not
considered in divorce. The child has
claim on both parents. and if it is
placed in an asylum it receives an in
jury from which it never RECEIVERS. Its
very soul is warped.
