CONCERTED EFFORT
FOR THE DESTITUTE
Rev. GigIinger Believes That Charity
in the City Should be Ex-
tended.

To the Edito- of The Gate City:
Now and then our attention is call
O. to case of restitution but these
cases are more frequent than the
public is generally aware of. The case
of a helpless woman with eight chill
dren for which the overseer of the
poor bespeaks the charity of the peo-
pie goes to show that some concert
ed effort should be made to relieve
the wants of the deserving poor I'm
organized effort as | have found out
personally is just a little better than
nothing. Some time ago a public ap-
peal was made in behalf of an unfor-
tunate family; eatables kept pouring
in for a couple of days and then the
family was no better off than it had
been before the appeal was made The
Benevolent Union of this city is do
ing a grand and noble work and
ought to receive encouragement and
assistance. but private cases of fam
lily restitution are beyond its spheres
of activity. A society called by some
name like the Samaritan Relief soci-
ETY., having for its object the relief OF
deserving families and individual in
distress would prove a great blessing
to Keokuk. Only the deserving poor
should be helped and without distinc
ton of creed or color. | am willing to
do my share in this work and | will
cheerfully aid in the organization OF
such a society, of which / would be
a humble member, leaving the officia
positions to others, distinguished b!
deeds of charity.
Perhaps the Benevolent Unior
could be induced to extend its sphere
so as to include such cases.

Into the twilight sped Quarter. head
bent, but his soft. dark dashed eyes of
a woman fixed steadily ahead. Every
energy, every thought was now bent
to this newest phase Of the same Ques-
ton which he and fate were finding
simpler to solve every minute. OF all
the luxurles he permitted himself open
ly or furtively. one-tlAe rarest Of them
all : his self denial had practically
eliminated from the list, the luxury of
Furnishing where no end was served
save that Of mere personal satisfac-
ton. The temptation Of this luxury
now presented itself. and the means
Of qualification were SO simple, SO Sc
cret, SO easy to command. that the
temptation became almost a duty.
Siward he had not turned out Of his
way to injure. Siward had been In
the way, that was all. and his ruin
was to have been merely an agreeable
coincidence with the purposed ruin OF

here was new phase. Mrs. Morti-
mer, whom he had expected to. use.
and If necessary sacrifice, had sudden
ly turned vicious. And he now hated
her as coldly rs he hated Major Bel
wether for betraying suspicious Of
similar nature AS for Plank, fear
and hatred of him were becoming ha-
tired and contempt He had the means
of checking Plank If Mortimer did
not drop dead before midnight. There
remained Sylvia. Long ago, whatever
of liking, of affection. of passion he
had ever entertained for her had
quieted to Indifference an Q}the I'M
emotional contemplation of future

sudden this young girl he had bought
he knowing what she sold and what
he was paying for-had become ex-
posed to the infection Of suspicion
concerning himself and another wom-
ana woman unmarried and Of his
own caste and numbered among her
own friends.
And he knew enough Of Sylvia to
know that If anybody could once
arouse her suspicion nothing on earth
could induce hes to look into his face
again. Suppose Leila should do so
this evening?
Certainly Quarter had several mat
tors to ponder over and provide for
and first and foremost Of all to pro.
vide for his own security and the vital
necessity Of preserving his name and
his character untainted. In this he
had to deal with that miserable Judge
who had betrayed him; with Morti-

and who now was temporarily in his
service; with Mrs. Mortimer, who-God

deserted him before he could sacrifice
the major and whom he now hated
and feared for having stumbled over
suspicious similar to Mrs. Mortimer's.
He had to deal with Sylvia herself
and with Siward-reckon with 81

were best that Sylvia should not know.
But first Of all and most important
Of all he had to deal with Beverly
Plank. And he was going to do it In
a manner that Plank could not have
foreseen. He was going to stop Plank
where he stood, and TO do this he was
deliberately using his knowledge Of
the man and paying Plank the COM

portunity to defend himself. He had

Gen. CURTIN CAUSES
NO ALARM BY TALK
In Taft and Other Circles at
the Capital Of the
Nation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May U.s.
General Curtin. called the lumber
king Of West Virginia was given great
prominence In the Washington Her
aid yesterday.
Curtin talks for two columns ia
wiring Roosevelt's denomination. His
interview created some sensation, be-
cause he is delegate to tn natitfnal
convntfon and instructed for Taft.
He insists that he was so instructed
because people thought Roosevelt
wanted Taft. Curtin sneers at the
Taft sentiment. as artificial. and in-
sists that Roosevelt is the real choice
of the Republicans. Curtin promises
to bolt Taft and vote for Roosevelt,
no matter what the rest of the delega-
ton does
The Curtin talk gives secret JOY to
those who fought the Endorsement of
Taft in West Virginia conventions,
but the Taft managers do not regard
1t seriously tonight
Senator Scott and Congressman
Hubbard read the Curtin effuslon last
night Mr.. Hubbard laughed, and
Senator Scott remarked he did not
think General Curtin would disregard
convention Instructions.
