of silly, childish laughter. Thurso laughed,
too, as he bent down and picked up the

"You are an obstinate woman" he said.

She undid the dispatch box.
"Oh, Thurso, what a big bottle! she said.

Throughout the voyage, too, his mere
bodily health and strength was steadily
though slowly on the mend. He put on
little flesh; there was little more bright
ness of eye and clearness of skin than

her visible sign of the truth of what
she believed. With all her heart, too,
she set herself to reverse and to forget
the warning that Sir James had given her

n second attack, had been rather
SLOW and 1t was three weeks
from the time of his collapse
when he and Maud were sitting together on
the deck Of the Celtic watching the shores
of Ireland fade into gray mist as they
sank on the horizon. They had embarked
the day before at Liverpool, and though
they had been at sea only twenty-four
hours, already some semblance of color was
returning to his face. But If Maud met
him now for the first time for year, she
felt that she would scarcely have known
him. Those months of steady indulgence
in the drug had made his face look strange
" wan and old; the cheeks had fallen In,
crows feet had been planted at the outer
corners of his eyes. and the lids were
bagsy and pendulous. But it was his
mouth that had changed most; all power
and determination had gone from it, it
dropped weakly and feebly at its corners,
and the lower lip hung loose-it was the
mouth of a sensual and self-indulgent man:
His hair too had grown very thin, and
streaks of gray had appeared in it Then,

heart failure; Illness as well as deteriora-

STATEMENT BY Mr.. PERKINS

TO THE REPUBLICANS or IOWA: /
would rather be defeated for the
nomination for governor than to be
the means of lowering the standard
of public life in Iowa. If were to be
made governor and give my influence
to corrupt rule of the state, to aid
in debauching the state with corpora
ton rule and greedy machine manage
ment, the Office would be curse TO
me. | hope | am not devoid OF
common sense. would be fool to
surrender whatever decency I have
aquired to the credit of my name in
exchange for q commission to act as

in this matter then I Cannot serve

honorable intentions than such as my
record in business and in politics
may afford.

HOME AGAIN.
Hon D. G. Mott Returned From Des
Moines Last Friday.

The legislature adjourned last Fri
day evening at Z O'Clock. The time
for adjournment was II O'Clock noon
but as they were not through with the
work the clock was stopped little
before twelve and started again at the
proper time so that when the hands
reached twelve the speaker of the
house and the president of the senate
arose and said in all solemnity, "The
hour of II having arrived the legis-
lature stands adjourned sine die"
Mr.. Mott has been at his post of
duty with great regularity, has been
painstaking in giving all measures
careful consideration, and conscien-
tious in voting so as to best represent
the wishes of his constituents. Mr..
Mott has had but one election by the
voters of the county, the session this
winter having been added by the
adoption of the biennial amendment
During the last days of the session
Mr.. Mott was made q member of the
Conference committee and was also
called to preside over the house both
of which were honorable recogni-
tions that but few members received
He returned home last Saturday and
has been enjoying very cordial re-
ception by his many friends
Among the things done by the legis-
lature that are of immediate interest
is that OF fixing the terms of county
officials to harmonize with the amend
ment. The terms of those having two
years remain Just the same; township
trustees will be chosen for two years (;
county supervisors will be elected for
three years but in way that will
close the term OF one member each
year in counties having three members.
In this county three members must be
chosen. The term of Mr.. Searls will
not expire until January 1908, but as
there will not be an election next year
his successor must be chosen this
year and wait for year before taxi
ing his seat. The successor to Mr..
Hamlin will be named for three years,
but as Mr.. Bonwell is having an ex-
ira year by the adoption of the amend
ment, his successor will he chosen for
two years. This arrangement will
cause the term of one member To ex-
pire each year-that of Mr.. Searls In
January 1908; that of the successor OF
Mr.. Bonwell ia 1909; and that Of the
successor of Mr.. Hamlin in 1910.

About rheumatism.

There are few diseases that infiict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
dies have been suggested. To say
that it can be cured is, therefore, q
bold statement to make, but Cham
berlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an
extensive sale, has met with great
success in the treatment of this dis
ease. One application OF Pain Balm
will relieve the pain, and hundreds Of
sufferers have testified to permanent
cures by its use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords such quick relief
and costs but trifie? For sale by A.
ii. Roberts.
