"Her husband!" the maid replied, in
high, wild voice.
Before he could ask further questions,
sounds were heard of footsteps and muir
murs of voices of those whom the serv-
ants cries of murder and the policeman's
entry had attracted, and presently an
other constable, DR.. Quave and his son,
and some strangers pushed their way into
the room, followed by the cook, sleepy
and scared.
The medical man bent above the dead,
took one rigid hand in his own, placed
his ear above the region where the heart
had just been stilled, and said in an
awesome tone:
Its all over with him. He is quite
dead"
From this ghastly figure he turned to
Mrs. Dumbarton, who by this time had
been lifted to couch, where she lay
motionless and apparently lifeless, her
daughter clinging to and kissing her be-
tween heartbroken sobs.
The policeman made no attempt to ar
rest the woman suspected of murder,
knowing she was not likely to make her
escape, and aware that if arrested be-
fore she gave evidence in the Coroners
Court she could not be cross-examined.
"You must at once fetch an inspector,

arrived upon the scene said to the other

Senator Henderson, wields > great inAu-
nee, not only over her husband, but also
over all who know her. it was Mrs.
Henderson who persuaded her husband
to destroy all the wines and liquors in

came that she had converted the famous
diplomat, WI Ting Fang, to her ideas

I. Study the laws of nature for health

2. Avoid all poisons.
3. Take abundant exercise in pure

a. Eat only the amount of food that
nature needs, and study what to eat from
scientific point of view.
S. Cultivate normal sleep. Live and
sleep only in rooms that are well srnned,
well ventilated and not overheatec.
S. Cultivate the habit of work in con-
nection with some worthy ambition. for
healthy exercise of body and mind is as
strengthening as renose, and should bal
ance it. Work while you work. and
rest while you rest. avoiding all worry
Make yourself useful to the world and
feel that you have mission in it.
2. Avoid bad environments, the worst
of which is the friend who encourages
you to poison yourself.

CONGRESSMAN MANN
SOLVES BRIDGE PROBLEM
Chairman of Subcommittee Saved Con-
gress Much Labor When His
Omnibus Bill Was Passed.

Measures authorizing the construction
Of bridges across navigable streams
have become bugbears and nuisances TO
the Congressional committees passing
upon them. So many such bills come up
in each Congress that the House Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
meTce long ago adopted the expedient of
referring them to subcommittee
whose chairman shoulders the burden of
comparing each one, line for line with a
standard act Representative Mann, of
Chicago. has had this work for several
years. Like many other members. he
has labOr-saving ideas. and his omnibus
bridge bill. passed by the House Mon
day. is a result.
It amounts really 10 a COdiflcation Of
the permanent features of all bridge
acts. Certain forms must be followed in
granting authority for bridge-building.
and If incorporated in a general act,
need not be repealed I'm each OF the
hundred bills before cession of Con-
gress. \ simple form is stipulated in
which the parties undertaking the bridge
are named, the general location speci-
ned, and the Improvement placed under
the provisions of the general act
This omnibus bill provides only in a
general way that bridges shall not I'M
reasonably Obstruct navigable rivers. No
attempt is made TO specify the heights
at which they shall go above the
streams, and the brief form providing
for routine bills makes no such proVi-
sion. These details are left, as now,

in Helping the Needy in
Their Troubles.

has already entered actively upon its
work of providing free legal advice
for the poor. Several matters referred
to Attorney Edwin c. Dutton. counsel
for the society. have been adjusted to
the satisfaction OF the. applicants for
legal advice. One Of these was the col
lection OF a small amount of wages due

amount involved was only 50. but It
looked as big as house 10 the poor
man. Another was a settlement of the
differences between a husband and wife
IN reference to the care and control OF
their children.
At the meeting of the society next
Monday night the question Of usurious
interest will be discussed. with view
of suggesting legislation to remedy the
evil

society. expresses the opinion that the
law can be so amended as 10 berefit
