said her husband would come to the
side OF her bed and curse her for q
faithless wife.
Argument was used to save the
woman from her imagination, but all
in vain. She grew in the belief that she
never could expiate her one false step
and yesterday when the police entered
the house in response TO the appeals OF
one of the children the woman was
found sitting IN a chair with her
hands appraised and telling her hus-
bands face to disappear and cease its
torture.
She was taken before a magistrate
and to him she related her story. Two
physicians who placed her under ex-
animation said reniorse had lost her
reason, and that apparently the only
thing that appeared real to her was
the apparition Of her husbands face

They spent fifteen years in roaming
through the Far West. No sooner would
they be settled and on the road to COM
petence than the priest would be over
taken by an uncontroilable desire 20
move. He had periodical FITS of re-
morse, and when affected by these he
always imagined that the husband was
pursuing him with murderous intent.
He also repeatedly said that the spirit
Of the man was whispering to him,

Time As a Healer

and for four years prospered greatly.
But last winter the old feeling came
over him again and he moved with
his family to Williamsburg, near here.
The couple with their children were in
direst poverty and lived on the bounty
of their neighbors. Reginsk made no
secret of his past life. and suddenly
his mind gave way. He attacked the
woman and beat her into insensibility.
He was arrested and adjudged insane.
The woman and her children were
sent to Grand Rapids. but the authori-
ties there shipped her back with her
children in two days. An investigation
of her affairs was made and it was
found that Reginski still owned a farm
in Nebraska. This was sold, but the
woman lost the money. Through the
summer she supported herself and her
little ones by wedding sugar beets
Since the early winter the seven sub
sisted on charity. A few days ago Mrs

The millinery stores seem to be
the basis of operations for a good
deal of petty thieving that is going
on at present. Two millinery stores
have already offered opportunities
for the light fingered gentry to get
in their work. A few days ago a
lady stepped into Mrs. Devy's store
and while trying on one of the new
creations, a valuable hatpin was
extracted from her own hat in a
very short space of time-and no
clue vas found to it's disappearance.
Another lady related a circumstance
of being in a dry goods store a few
days ago when her handbag was
opened by a lady, her pocketbook
extracted, So taken and the book re-
placed without her knowledge.
The parties who are at work seem to
have the business down to a very
fine point when they can~escape de-
lection so easily.

ATTACKS FIRE ORDINANCES
ATTORNEY FOR w. j. DAVIS BE.
GINS ARGUMENT.
Five Points on Which Defense of For
nner Manager of Iroquois The
alter viii Be Based.

Danville, ILL.,, March S.-Attorney
Mayer, of Chicago, occupied Thurs
day morning with his arguments in
the Davis trial. He and other lawyers
from Chicago brought with them three
trunks of law books, which were car
ried into court by six young men at
the opening of court. 1t was evident
that several days will be consumed
by the lawyers on this phase of the
case. Five points of attack are made
on the Chicago building ordinances re-
lating to fires, as follows:
l. The fire limit ordinance was
wholly inadequate and indefinite.
2. The term large" used in the
city ordinance did not specify what
size theater, coming under this head,
would be.
8. 1t was not the fault of the man
ager of the Iroquois theater more than
any one else that the fire occurred.
4. Judge Kavanaugh changed words
in the fire ordinance when he upheld
the validity of it, and the present in
dictment was founded upon the docu-
ment as changed
S. The statutes under which the
city of Chicago, by its charter, derived
It's right to establish fire limits, gave
power only to prohibit the erection of
wooden buildings within certain pre-
scribed limits.
There need be no fear that the Da-
Wis trial is about to come to an end,"
said Assistant States Attorney Bar
bour. I'VE will prove absolutely that
the ordinances in question are valid.
1t will not take two or three days to
do it. 1t will take just about three
hours. We have anticipated the
points raised by the defense and stand

ONG before daylight one could
hear the slowing of the wind.
~ Its caravan, now reaching east
ward to midocean, was nearly
passed Scattered gusts hurried on, like
weary and belated followers. Then
suddenly came a silence in which one
might have heard the dust Of their feet
falling, their shouts receding in the far
woodland. The sun rose in clear sky
above the patched and ragged canopy
OF the woods-a weary multitude now
resting in the still air.
The children We're up looking for

the great captain that leads us to the
farther gate of childhood and surren-
ders the golden key. Many ways are
beyond the gate, some steep and
thorny, and some who pass it turn
back, with bleeding feet and wet eyes,
but the gate opens not again for any
that have passed. Tom had got the
key and begun to try it. Santa Claus
had winked ut him, with sharing
eye, like that of his aunt when she had
sugar In her pocket, and Tom thought
1t very foolish, The boy had even felt
of his greatcoat and got good look at
his boots and trousers. Moreover,
when he put his pipe away, Tom saw
him take chew of tobacco-an alb
horrent thing if he We're to believe his
