standing by testified to this fact. At
the conclusion Of the service Baldwin
could see so well that he left his glasses
behind him. Michael Kelly of Boston
who has been cripple for 20 years
claims that he was instantaneously cured
at the same service. So does Miss Nor.
ley of Brighton, who left her crutches
behind her at the shrine.
These and other supposed miraculous
cures are the talk Of the whole party.
Father Mccaiferty refused to discuss the
alleged cures himself, simply saying the
pilgrimage was a pious one and had
been especially blessed, four or five at
least Of It's numbers claiming to have
received special privileges. He referred
his question to the pilgrims who claimed

whole Of il was under the care Of a
bachelor friend, who on the slightest
sign Of danger locked him up till it
had passed Jessica's Judgment and
heart had q struggle for mastery, and
the heart conquered. She and Cham
berlin were married. Every one pre-
dlcted that the bride would rue the day
that she consented to marry a man
subject to become enthralled at mo-
ment's notice with any pretty face,
and the result was In accordance with
their expectations Captain Chamber
lin was improved only in this: He did
not fall in with SO many women Of in
ferior grade, consequently his affairs
We're OF more respectable class.
The poor wife suffered, but no more
than her husband, whose weakness
made his home miserable Their init
mate associates could always see the
signs Of a new love in Chamberlin's
breast In the cloud that rested on him
and his wife. One day while Mrs
Chambcrlin was cooking In the
kitchen her husband, who had just en-
tered on new infatuation, Joined her
there. They had been having high
words about the matter in the dining
ing dough. A nervous tension that had
been long accommodating at last over
came the equilibrium of her faculties,
and, raising the rolling pin, she
brought It down on her husbands
skull. Realizing what she had done,
she threw her arms about bis neck and
burst into passionate sobs.
MY wounds' exclaimed the husband.
"You hit me on the spot that Mauser
bullet struck"
"0h, heavens
mo harm done, sweetheart" be said
encouraglngly, but / think I'd better
see a surgeon"
In an hour surgeon drove up to
the house, examined the wound--much
Of the swelling had disappeared
upon asking about the original was told
that bullet was supposed to have
fractured the skull, but the surgeons
considered 1t slight break and had
not operated upon Ii.
Il can see evidence" said the sur
geon, "of an indentation which seems
TO have been modified by this blow
given today" And with a recommend
alton to watch the wound carefully for
developments he departed.
From that time a change came over
the home of the Chamberlins. Eugene
made model husband and never again
was even tempted to run after a pretty
face No more devoted couple ever
lived together.
A consultation Of surgeons and phre-
biologists decided the original wound
had brought about a pressure on the
source of one of the sentimental pro
pensities located in the center OF the
brain, which had been relieved by the
second blow

Never has the political Kaleidoscope

Whitney has always been decidedly
averse to running for governor this year
just as he was last year for lieutenant

ness reasons, He entered the contest
solely because be had been led To believe
that such action on his part was necss
sary in order to save the cause Of tariff

which he IL 50 much interested. He has
aways preferred that Douglas, Sullivan
or some other man should be the stand
