amounts in many instances,
to rank idiocy. If they wish
to "break off a love affair, 3"
they employ the very agent
for its intensest promotion
opposition.
Infatuation, SO often mis-
taken by young people Tor
love, is a feeblerOOted plant
that will die of itself in time,
if only let alone. Parental

roots to a firm depth III the
SOIL OL dill SCU1Ons
1t is unquestionably one OF
the severest trials between
the beginning and end Of life
to rear a child with great
care, and then; at manhood
or womanhood, behold the
labor worse than lost. as it
seems to the parents. 1t
seems bitterly ungrateful.
A terrible blindness seems to
have fallen like pail upon
their child's mental, moral
and spiritual vision.
Our attention has been
drawn to this topic by a num-
Der Of social revelations, not
pleasant to hear, and which
had their origin in parental
opposition. Private mar
riages are reSOrted to; scan
dalous arrangements entered
upon; and often, what is still
more sad and deplOra Bile, the
lives of brave and high-heart-
ed lovers Swallowed for life.
After the age of twenty
one, girls who have been pro-
perly educated, are quite DIS
apt to know what they desire
in a man for a husband, as
their parents, and unreason-
able opposition is as foolish
as it is unkind. When the
spirit of opposition leaps
high in parental hearts, it
would be we'll to ask these
questions: Would marriage
be the worst thing that could
happen? Is my opposition
fostering the best results?
Is my ambition, or my child's
happiness [ am seeking to
promote? Has not my child
the same right of a choice in
a life companion that [ had?
Another thing occurs at
this point, that we cannot
well refrain from protesting
against. It is the folly-and
nothing less than folly-that
characterizes the conduct of
far too many parents in re-
gard to their children, and
especially their daughters,
who. in some weak moment,
have behaved indiscreetly,
and possibly shamefully. A
child is a child, and no act of
a parent can make it other
wise. Disinheritance, anger,
unkindness and abuse only
aggravate such matters, and
what might have been kept a
private family sorrow, be-
comes a public scandal, SO
crushing the helpless victim
that not even a whole life
time of remorse aud repent
ance can succeed in washing
out the blot on her reputa-
ton. Life is so shOrt-hu-
man hanDineSS. at best. so !

He Says, Reforms We Labored For
 Will Vet Come"
 Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.-W. ]. Bryan issued the following statement:
 ''rhe election has gone against us by decisive majority. The returns arc not all in, and it is impossible at the present time to analyze them or to say what causes contributed most to the Republican victory. We made our fight upon a platform which embodied what we believed to be good for the American people. but it is for the peo- pie themselves to decide what laws they desire and what methods of gov ernment they prefer
 "I have faith that the reforms we labored for will yet come.
 If could regard the defeat as pure ly personal one I would consider it a blessing rather than a misfortune. for I am relieved of the burdens and re- responsibilities of an office that is at tractive only in proportion as it gives an opportunity to render larger pub lie service
 But I shall serve as willingly in private capacity as in a public one. God does not require great things of us. He only requires that we improve the opportunities that are presented, and I shall be glad to improve the op- portunities for service presented by private life"

MORSE FOUND
 GUILTY Curtis Is Convicted With. Him. BANKERS WIFE C0lLAPSES. Five Years the Minimum Penalty
 For Their 0ffenses. .'

New York, Nov. 6. - Charles W. Morse and Alfred H. Curtis today were in court for sentence. The jury sent the former ice king and the ex- bank president to the T0mbs by finding them guilty of misusing the funds of the National Bank of North America and of causing false entries to be made in the books of the institution.
 The law provides for each of the charges of which they have been found guilty penalty of not less than five years and not more than ten years in jail.
 The jury returned its verdict after deliberating all day and after numer- ous points of law had been explained and part of the testimony read to mem. bers uncertain as to questions of fact.
 The foreman, responding to the cus- tomary question of the court clerk, arose and replied:
 We have agreed upon verdict in the case of both defendants. On the charge of conspiracy we find them not guilty.
 "On the charge of the misapplication of the funds of the bank we find both defendants guilty.
 "On the charge of making false en- tries in the books of the bank we find both defendants guilty.
 In the case of Curtis the jury wish es to make a strong recommendation to the mercy of the court"
 Attorney MacFarlane made the cus- tomary motions to set the verdict aside, to grant new trial and for permission to take an appeal to the circuit court of appeal. all of which were denied.
 MT. MacFarane asked that Morse be admitted to bail, but Judge Hough re- fused and ordered both prisoners to the Tombs.
 Morse heard the verdict without the quiver of a hair. but one great shud- der shook the body of Mrs. Morse.
 Curtis took the verdict like a stoic. Mrs Curtis was not present. It was said that she had collapsed just as she was about to start from her home for the courtroom and has been in the hands of her physician.
 Mrs. Curtis collapse followed the action of the jurors in filing into the court and asking Judge Hough for more definite instructions regarding the conspiracy clauses in the indict- ments.
 Mrs. Curtis held her nerves fin check until the proceeding was over and the jury had gone back to their room. Then she put her face in her gloved hands and began to sob hysterically. Her husband and her sister tried to comfort her Suddenly rising from her seat across the room. Mrs. Clementine Dodge Morse, wife of the other de- fendant. came over and took Mrs. Cur tis in her arms. whispering reassuring words in her ear. Finally Mrs. Curtis grew quieter.

STEAMER WHITNEY SUNK.
Strikes Rock In the East River Near
 He'll Gate,

New York. Nov. 6.-Striking a steep rock in the East river near Hell Gate, the freight steamer w. H. Whitney of the Metropolitan line sank in a few minutes.
 The crew of twenty-three men took to the boats and were picked up by q harbor police launch. The Whitney, which ran from New York to Boston, left her North river pier half an hour before the disaster. She has a great rent in her hull and, 1t is believed. will he total loss. Vessel and cargo were valued at sS50.000.
 Wrecking tugs were sent to the steamer to try 10 save the cargo. Twice previously this year the whitney ran aground.

How Sickness Comes.

Most fatal sicknesses have their beginnings in simple "cold" or in a slight cough.
 Consumption first shows in . cough.
 Bronchitis is accompanied by a cough.
 The first stage of La Grippe Is a "cold."
 Pneumonia is preceded by cough and violent "cold."
 Croup-that terrible malady of childhood--comes solely as a condi- tion of "cold."
 Rheumatism generally follows neglect after exposure and the con sequent "cold" or cough.
 Kidney Troubles, including Bright's disease and other fatal com plications, are often due to "cold' which settles in that region.
 And there are countless other grave sicknesses which are rec ognized by the medical profession as having their direct or indirect cause in a neglected "cold" or cough.

 T don't know-I'll be hanged if know" And Claiborne grinned so that the grotesque lines of his soiled coun- tenance reused Armitages slumbering wrath.
 You'd better find out! This Is my busy night. and if you can't explain yourself I'm going to tie you hand and foot and drop you down the well till finish my work. Speak up! What are you doing on my grounds, in my house. at this hour of the night, prying into my affairs and rummaging in my trunksY

 What are you doing up here in the mountains? Why are you not at your station? The potato sack story is pret- ty fimsy. Do better than that and hurry up!"
 ''Armitage"-as he spoke Claiborne walked to the table and rested his fin- ger tips on it-"Armitage, you and l have made some mistakes during our short acquaintance. I will tell you frankly that have blown hot and cold about you as I never did before with another man in my life. On the ship coming over and when I met you in Washington I thought well of you.

The most popular illustrated weeklies

Herald furnishes its readers with Sun

with the independent periodicals in
every way and has some merits peculiar
