SATURDAY. AUGUSTUS. 1906.
A pERNICIOuS DOCTRINE

Every little while some fellow with
a college degree OF a title or position
which is supposed to add weight to
his words breaks out with some new
tangled notions or advice along moral
and ethical lines and expects the pub
lie to adopt his views as gospel truth.
Just now we have the announcement
of Prof. Thomas, who draws salary
from the Chicago university, to the
effect tnat women who have led fast
lives make the. best wives
No more pernicious doctrine was
ever uttered and to believe or pretend
to believe it is to confess that virtue
is undesirable and that men who seek
wives from among the pure and chaste
are mistaken-two of the greatest
falsehoods ever uttered.
Do men love rotten eggs. in prefer
ence to fresh ones hardly. Do men
prefer tainted butter, even though it
has been renovated, to that whielf'
comes fresh and sweet from the dairy
Let common sense and experience
answer.
In the ideal marriage relation there
must be an absence of suspicion or

Bright's disease OF who has been
threatened with consumption or cancer
lives in almost constant fear of its re
currerce long after all symptoms have
passed away. No man cares to buy a
balky horse even though the animal
has apparently reformed, fearing that
in an unexpected moment the evil
propensities may return and cause
trouble, and it may as t1uthfully be
said that few if any men with a proper
degree of self respect will seek for
wives from among the ranks of cour.
tesans, the statement of Professor
Thomas Notwithstanding.
The marriage relation is ordained
uf God and the home, the most sacred
institution this side of heaven. But
the ideal home cannot be maintained
where fear, suspicion and jealousy
abound. 1t is right and natural that
a man should look upon his wife as
woman as pure as any on earth
But such a condition co1id hardly be
expected under the Thomas system.
The Posi- is not disbeliever in re-
form and would not place one straw in
the way of those who would rise to a
higher plane along moral or other
lines and we are not unmindful of the
words of the Savior to the accused
woman $50 and sin no more but we
are not willing that purity and
chastity should be abased in order that
some one may be given chance to 1e-
form. We are not ready to admit that
it is necessary that women must go
down in sin in order that they may
become "good" wives We are not
ready to belittle virtue and place a
premium on sin. In fact the Thomas
idea is so repugnant to men and
women of decency that it is wonder
the fellow has not long ago been given
a ducking in the Chicago river by the
indignant citizens of the Lake City.

That our American forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores OF the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent! of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

DR.. Pierce believes that our American for

ldC was one long
night of dream things.
And the first dream
we had at the sideboard.
Major Meriwether led
the way there. An Of
ficious waiter sprang to
assist him. The Major
waved him away and
out of the room. Il

l need you," he said in
a lordly way. Gentle

to yo' cocktails. If it
is not presumptious,

He put twelve wide
mouthed glasses in a
row on the board. Into
each he first dropped a
half cube of sugar. Then
into each he poured a
tablespoon of water.
Slowly he mashed each
half-cube, stirring gen.
thy with a spoon. After
that a square of ice was
dropped in. And last
he took a bottle from
the rack. Il brought
this with me-" he OBJ
served on the side. He
went down the line of
glasses, slowly pouring

over the ice in each until the glass filled almost
to the brim. Then almost lovingly he stirred each
one running the spoon around circle and turning
the ice until the glasses began to sweat on the out
side. 1t was slow process but, We gods! how his
leisure paid! Sip it, gentlemen, he said briefly,
we had come to know the master.
1t isn't any use trying to tell what we had at
table. Pens not made nowadays to describe
those things. Dreams and then dreams With each
course the Major had some little story to tell.
The last time | in New Awlins, he said,

request she served us with Evah | secured an

1t was like that from nine thirty to almost mid
night. 1t wasn't Sherry dinner at all. 1t wasn't
a New York dinner in any particular 1t was Major
Meriwether's dinner, and they talk about it yet
wherever the chosen meet. AS said, it was near
midnight when got to the cigars and a
sort of sparkling burgundy which went to the head
like brain bath. Never had the Major
ferred to Hero. We had expected to be bored some
by the Hero thing. He kept particular silence
concerning his one horse. In consequence we grew
curious about the animal. None of us had seen him:
Major Meriwether totally unknown to the turf;
the whole of it was mystery. 1t was Bronson who
brought it round.

bowed again. removing his hat he did SO, and
backed out of the stand. In a moment he was lost

at Bronson in some species of disrnay.

long to say it would be Thursday night at nine-we
would have finished copy by that tme-and when
the old man showed up the next afternoon, smiling
but dignifed, Bronson informed him that we would
be delighted to join him at the time mentioned
wherever he might elect to take us.

LIZ humorist. On morning he had IN his
turf column of his paper this note:
Major MeriWetheT has arrived at Morris I Park
We shall hear from this horse day.
Bronson was always stumbling upon queer per-
SonageS and new characters around the track, and
it was his habit to have fun with them IN his own
peculiar fashion So of the other morning papers
felt no jealousy when read Bronson S scoop. We
knew the earmarks. Bronson was framing up some
thing humorous, and the Southern Major or Hero
was to be the medium. Perhaps neither really exist
ed. Bronson was creative when necessity moved
him
We were soon to know pleasantly that Major
Meriwether very much real man, and that
there horse Hero. 1t was the second afternoon
following Bronsons note that tall, gaunt old man,
straight and dignihed came into the press stand at
the track and politely asked for the who repre-
sented The Planet. Bronson rose, and we gr1nned.
The Major was evidently intent upon knowing
Bronson. He raised his slouched hat with sweeping

Bronson in most courteous fashion, and Bronson
for the moment lost himself Major Meriwether
perfectly in earnest and so gentlemany about it
that he had Bronson out limb. You saw at
that Major Meriwether wasn't hunor material,
and Bronson seeing him, was thoroughly ashamed
of himself All Bronson could do to stammer
some, and grin sickly some more, and shake the old
mans hand, and try to look pleasant. He knew all
the time that behind his back gang of unmercifuls
were waiting for him. After minute he got to him
self and turning round begged the Major to permit
him to introduce his feow-workers: {" Mr.. Blank of
The Star Mr. Dash of The Earth Mr. Dott of

ARGUMENTS ON, AND BOTH LIB

GETTING HOT SCORING.
MRS. HARTJE WEEPS
Shows BY Her Looks Her Disgust
When Her Husbands At

raigns Her.

Pittsburg, Pa. The begin
ming of the end of the famous and sen.
sational Hartje divorce was begun
when arguments were begun before
Judge Frazer.
MI. and Mrs. Augustus Hartje en-
dured the final ordeal when the law.
yers made arguments, both libellant
and respondent getting a hot scoring,
the conclusion for the day being a set
speech by John Marion for the lib
ellant.
Reference to the children of the
couple seemed to move MI. Hartje and
his wife very much. During Mr.. Mar.
ron's argument Mrs. Hartje at times
grew CHASTITY pale at Mr.. Marron's as
sertions. Mr.. Hartje was greatly at
fected by the statement of Mr.. Marion
that he had not kissed his children for
a year.
Attacked Mrs. Hartje's Character.
Mr.. Ferguson made a short speech,
but will conclude after Mr.. Freeman
concludes for the respondent. Attor
ney w. B. Rogers made, the first ad'
dress for Mr.. Hartje. He made a sharp
attack on the character of Mrs. Hart
je. He spoke for a little more than
an hour. He referred to the separa'
ton of MI. and Mrs. Hartje, saying
that the real reason for her desertion
was to be found in the love letters al
legged to have been written by her to
the coachman correspondent, Tom
Nadine.
Shows Her Disgust.
Mrs. Hartje, overweight by the
weeks of excitement, gave way to her
feelings as her attorney, Marcus W
Atcheson, Jr., was making his plea
Attorney Atcheson inclined to the pa,
thetic side of the case in his argument,
and Mrs. Hartje cried silently. Dur
ing her scathing arraignment by At.
torney Rodgers, who opened argument
for Hartje, she maintained her com
posure, except to express by her looks
her disgust at what vas being said.
1t is expected that arguments will
be completed by Wednesday, when
Judge Fraser will leave the city, and
the courts decision is not expected I'M
