San Francisco, March II. THE Rev
Jere Knode Cooke, once the pastor o.
New York millionaires, now painter
in this city, after eloping with Flor
etta Whaley, a young and pretty girl,
yesterday wrote the story of his own
life. He says:
"To write the story of my shame
and wrongdoing, to lay bare all the
secrets which, though of sin, are as
sacred, AMI sometimes believe more
so, than those of holiness and virtue;
to tear aside the curtain of silence
which has sheltered the love of
Floretta Whaley and myself for one
happy year, is to me utterly abhor-
rent
"Unwilling is the pen: ultficult is
the undertaking. The mentality
which for year has been forced to
run contrary to all the laws of God
and man, and which has fought back
every minute, every second, against
the rules laid down by 10000 years
of convention, has become so nodded
that, even now, as II by force OF
habit, it still struggles against the
inevitable. In bitterness and passion
j seek the solution of the eternal
and unaswerable query; why?
II attempt no justification of my

the isolated peak of my love-happy. +.
When | stopped to the mire of the
pit, rose to the glory of the
heights.
IL am not weak enough to attempt
to justify myself in the eyes of the
world, knowing the impossibility OF
such a procedure. The world has Sc.
out its path which it declares must
be trodden and those who step from
It as flagrantly and openly as | have
done can never hope to regain the
place in that line. That is lost.
THE question, however is whether
happiness lies in the beaten trail
which the millions follow or in the
forbidden land on either side. Each

1T is sup TO" MAYOR
SCHERFF AND THE POLICE

| Much to the surprise OF every
one, even those who were "wise" "
to the fact that something was to
be attempted in the way of tenn
pcrance legislation in the city
council, that body Monday evening
Ipassed the most radical piece OF
temperance legislation which has
ever been attempted in Marion.
In the news columns of today
will be found the provisions of the
ordinance which puts the aid" on
more firmly than ever before, pro-
vided of course. the police depart
ment sees to 1t that the laws are
enforced.
The step for the removal of all
screens. chairs, tables, and gamb-
ling devices of every nature and
description from the rooms oc-
Icupied by saloons, is one which
has been taken by other cities and
villages in this and other states
long ago and in many instances
1t has been found to be very ef-
fectiye While it may not affect the
number of men, and women, too,
If you please, who visit the saloons
it will afford the authorities a
very much better opportunity to
enforce the laws regulating such
places.
1t matters not how much CEN
sure may be heaped upon the
head Of Mayor Scherff and the po.
licemen of the city for the non
enforcement of the laws in the
past, it must be conceded that
their task has been no easy one.
The saloons have been at liberty
TO use any and all kinds of screens,
to erect any and all kinds of
booths and TO throw all kinds of
protection about themselves to
prevent detection In their viola
tons of the state laws and the
lcity ordinances. To apprehend all
yiolators in this city would require
greatly enlarged police force and
number of detectives in addition.
The city council has perslstently
refused TO increase the police de-
partment because of the additional
cost, and Mayor ScherR's hands
have been, in measure, tied
With the new legislation however
1t will be an entirely different
proposition. Every opportunity will
be afforded for the apprehension
of violators and it is now, or soon
will be sup to- the mayor and the
police department to prove that
they are sincere In their determin-
ation TO compel compliance with
the laws upon the part OF the sa-
loonmen.
The council has passed the or
dinance and Mayor, Scherff is sure
to sign 1t, but what effect it will
have upon the intemperance of the
city and the Wholesale violation of
the laws upon the part of the sa-
loonkeepers who have been violat-
ing laws. rests entirely with Mayor
scherff and the police department.

A KINGS DREAM.
Belief In the Vision Might Have
Chanqed History.

Belief In the Vision Might Have
Changed History.
On June 12, 1645, Charles I slept at
the little inn in Naseby village. Scouts
had brought news of the approach OF
the parliamentary army, and the king
was resolved to give them battle. In
the middle of the night the lords of the
bedchamber, who slept in the outer
room, were disturbed by an eXtraordi-
nary noise in the kings room. Upon
entering they found Charles sitting
bolt upright in his bed and in a much
excited state.
On asking what the noise was, the
king said he had heard no noise, but
that their entry had reused him from
all extraordinary dream. He said that
Strafford had stood at the foot of his
bed and implored him not to give bat
tie, for if he did he would be so disas-
trously defeated as to threaten his
crown and even his life.
The next morning Charles told Prince
Rupert and his generals OF his cream,
but declared that he would fight. They
in vain tried to dissuade him. In the
evening news arrived that the enemy
were close at hand. That night
Charles again dreamed the same
dream. Strafford warned him that 1t
was the last time he would try to help
him.
The next morning the king led his
army out and by sunset he had lost
cannon, baggage and four fifths of his
troops, and as events proved. the war
as well.
Strafford's ghost was right. Had
Charles not met Cromwell at Naseby
it is quite likely he would not have
met his death at Pearson's
Weekly.
