How Mrs. Belle Guinness Enticed the

Mrs. Belle Guinness, who ran the

the following matrimonial ad.,'' with
which victims were lured to death:

He received in reply the following let

initials of her second husband. Philip

AS some time ago I received from you
letter in answer to my ad. in the Scandi-

same. The reason waited for some time
is that there has been other answers to

First will tell you that I am Nor

twenty years. l live in Indiana, about
fifty-nine miles from Chicago and one
mile north of Laporte. / am the sole
owner Of a nice home pretty location.
There are seventy-f1ve acres of land;
also all kinds of crops. improved land,
apples. plums and currants. Am on
boulevard road and have twelve room
house. practically new, windmill and
all modern improvements. situated in
beautiful suburb Of Chicago, worth about
$4,000.
All of this is pretty near paid for It

three small children. from five to eleven
years old. The smallest is a little boy.
The two largest are girls, all frisky and

years ago and have since tried to get

and I have, found that 1t is not well to
trust others with so much.
It is too much for me to look after
things. and things are not as want them
anyway. My idea of them Is to take a
partner to whom I can trust everything.
and as we have no acquaintance our
selves have decided that every appli-
cant I have considered favorably must
make satisfactory deposit of cash or
security. I think that is the best way for
parties to keep away grafters who are
always looking for such opportunities. as
have had experience with them. as 7
can prove.
Now, If you think that you are able in
some way to put up $1,000 cash we can
talk matters over personally If you
cannot is it worth while to consider? /

GOVERNOR A &. CUAiMINS.

Wisconsin. One phase Of their work
has been driving the railroads out of
politics and sending the little railroad
politicians scurrying into private life.
AS matter of course, this has not en-
deared them to the corporations In
deed, from that quarter they are about
the best hated men in the United
States. Their course has made them
short on passes and paid puffs, but has
kept them long on the affections of the
people.
Cummins has gone almost as far as
La Toilette in attacking the railroads
and has gone further in opposing the
stand pat attitude on the tariff.
So persistent did he grow in fighting
this fetch that tariff revision came to
be known as 'sthe Iowa idea" The
specific proposition referred to by this
phase is that American made goods
should be bought as cheaply at home
as abroad. In other words, if a watch
manufactured in this country is sold
for Sic in Europe it is not fair to
charge the dear people at home $25 for
are just as good as foreigners. At
least this is "the Iowa idea"
Albert Baird Cummins is fighter,
and yet he is SO diplomatic and gra-
eious that he hardly appears the part.
He doesn't hurl hard names at his OPP
ponents. but hard facts. But despite
his genial ways he is swift and force
full hitter. He knows how to win a
battle after it seems lost. That is one
of the secrets of great generalship. Nor
is the application of the principle con-
fined to politics and war The young
man who knows how to win girl
after she has got away from him is
usually the one who lives happily
ever afterward." The same rule holds
good In business and pretty much
everywhere else.

"Let Us Alone" Cry.

LET us alone! is the cry we hear
From the east and west, from far and
near;
From the man on the farm
With his fertile land:
From the man in the mill,
With his willing hand:
From the man in his store,
With his goods for sale;
From the man on the train.
With it's rusty rail-
From the man in the bank,
With the money there;
From the man on the sea-
With the weather fair;
From the man with his pick
And a job In sight:
From the millionaire,
With his cash all right
From these and from those, the great and
small,
Is coming the clear, insistent call:
Let us alone and we will rise
Again on the wings of enterprise.
We have felt the stroke OF the panic
That has smitten the progress Of the
land,
But the spirit remains. and we've got the
goods
That win bring US in safety out of the
woods
And set Prosperity again on her throne
But let US alone:
Say. LET US ALONE,
Won't your

French Chemical scarecrow.

French agriculturist, wheat and other

sprouts are just pushing above the
ground, by treating the seeds before
they are soWn with mixture of coal

treatment, which delays the growth of
the seed for day or two. but causes
no damage, imparts an odor which is
insufferable to the crows, but which
disappears after the sprouts have at
tanned larger growth, when they are
no longer subject to attack.

IN HIO is not the only state on the

trust busting is not one of its strong
points. Hepburn, Hull, Lacey and

Yet none of these estimable gentlemen

The Women's Candidate.

Ing career that despite his fight against
prohibition Cummins is considered the
women's candidate. They flock to hear
him, electioneer in his behalf and pro-
claim him their beau ideal Of what a
public: man should be. This may be
due to the fact that he is very hand
some figure Of a man-tall, with iron
gray hair and mustache, possessing all
the graces OF the finished orator and
endowed with a large share of that
peculiar something known as personal
magnetism. Moreover, the governor adj
dresses many Of his most effective ora
torical appeals to the fair sex, who, al
though they cannot vote in Iowa, can
make it mighty uncomfortabl for
those who do.
Governor Cummins' influence with
the better half of the world, however,
may not be so far to seek. Mrs. Cum
Minis is quite an adept as politician
and it is not at all impossible that she
is doing little electioneering among
the sisters on her own hook. She has
shown herself capable Of just that sort
of fnesse, for when her husband was
a candidate for the senate she sur
prised him and the other candidates by
inviting them to harmony dinner and
managed things so tactfully that these
men who before were ready to jump
at each others throat became quite
chummy for the rest of the session.
She was a Miss Ida L. Gallery of
Michigan, and it is related that Mr..
Cummins had such a difficult cam
paign in winning her that it developed
much Of the persistence and resource
fulness which he has since displayed
in politics.
1t must be said frankly that it is
hardly probable that Albert B. Cum
Minis will be nominated or elected to
the presidency in the year of our Lord
1908. Still, we can never tell, politics,
like the Fourth of July, being filled
with surprises. If the unexpected hap

Sample of His Courage.

When the Iowa legislature, at the
behest of James j. Hill, passed bill
to allow consolidation of two chief
railroads, which provided for practi-
caly limitless issue of stocks and
bonds, Governor Cummins was urged
from all quarters to sign it. Practical
