pitably, the familiar air of the Boz
Ami bringing him back to his accus
toned self-confident swagger.
Might I have some tea and toast
please?" said Louise, sinking into a
chair at the nearest table, with two
startling yet amusing thoughts ram
pant in her brain. One was, that she
wished Aunt Helen could have seen
her swinging along in the wake of this
typical bold and licentious" man,
and calmly and comfortably sitting
down to cozy little supper for two
at a public eating house; the other
startling thought was to the effect
that the invitation was redolent with
suggestiveness, and she wondered if
she was not expected to say, "a whis-
key for me, please"

Where is the Three Bars?" asked
Louise, her thoughts straying to the
terrors of a 15-mile drive through a
strange and uncanny country with a
stranger and yet more uncanny man.
She had accepted him without oues-
ton. He was part and parcel with the
strangeness of her new position. But
the sud1enness of the transition from
Idle conjecture to startling reality had
raised her proud head and she looked
this new development squarely in the
face without outward hint of inward
perturbation.
Say, where was you raised?" asked
Jim, with tolerant scorn, between

The Government Trying to Get the

Washington, Nov. 23.-The wording
Of the governments petition for writ
If certiorari in the $29,000,000 STAN
I lrd Oil case, which was filed Mon.
t';y in the supreme court of the Unit
{ States, indicates that the depart
r Il Of justice is fully aware of the
courts practice Of denying 80 per
cent of such petitions. The court
r. nts these petitions only when con-
't"uti"'S questions are involved. and
TIE fttorley general makes a strong
I .'or, to have it appear that the pres
ct case falls within that category.
Much of the body Of the petition is
devoted to adducing reasons why the
court should review the controversy.
Attorney General Bonaparte calls at
tention to the factt hat the certificate
process and the certiorari method are
two means by which cases can be
brought from the court of appeals to
the supreme court, the former on the
initiative of the lower and the latter
of the higher court.

contention is made that If the case

the lower to the higher court by means
of certification, it can Just as properly
be brought up by means of writ from
the higher court.

Mr.. William r. Vahlberg, Oklahoma
City, Okla, writes:
zone bottle of Peruna which have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of cafarrh of the
stomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
II had given up hopes of relief, and
only tried Peruna as last resort.
II shall continue using it, as feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and
permanent cure.
Utmost cheerfully recommend Peruna
to all who may read this"
iPeruna is usually taken as last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been used.
,Sanitariums have been visited. Travel
has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is
found.
TlIis history Is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year. II is
such results as this that gives Peruna
its unassailable hold upon the people.
We could say nothing that would add
force to such testimonials as the above,

NEW LxgoR ORGANIZATIONS
NatIonai Bodies for Building Trades
and Raiiroaders-

Denver; Nov. 23.-Monday In this
city there convened two national labor
bodies, adjuncts to the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor which Saturday
closed its annual convention here
These two organizations represent
over 100000 men, the building trades
and railroad employees departments,
the latter an organization Of 100000
men formed in Denver on Saturday
last. The building trades department
will represent about 100000 men, and
the first session N.-- be called to order
by President James Kirby of Chicago,
leader in the United Brotherhood OF
Carpenters and Joiners.
H. B. Perham, president Of the Or
der Of Railway Telegraphers, will call
the railway employees together and
P. J. Flannery of Chicago, president OF
the International Freight Handlers,
will be the secretary.
The building trades department OF
the federation has been In existence
about year, but the branching out
of the railway employees is new ven
ture that has for its purpose the or
ganization of every shop and track en-
ploye connected with the railroads OF
the country.
The leaders hope to secure the CO.
operation and eventually the utilization
of the trainmen, conductors, en-
gineers and firemen, and thus make
the railway employers organization
the most powerful of its kind In the
world. Its objects are given as follows:
D.. To enhance the welfare of all rail-
road employees; to aid in more close
ly organizing all such employees and
seek to affiliate them with the Amer

MISSOURI coNvIcTs FolLED.
Penitentiary Officials Discover a Tun'
mel Just in Time.

Jefferson City, Nov. 23.-0fficials OF
the state penitentiary here Sunday
discovered that a tunnel connecting
the prison with the street had been
begun and almost completed for the
purpose of effecting a wholesale de-
livery.
The tunnel led from one of the SEN
tinel towers and lacked but foot of
being finished.
The plan, it is understood, was for
the prisoners while in the dinina
room to make dash for the tunnel.
Several hundred would thus have pos.
sibly escaped.
The tunnel had been used as con.
duit for the pipes distributing heat.
and was abandoned when the new
heating plant was installed 1t was In
this underground passage that the
work had been done.

In the future, more than in the past,
American industries will have to rely
upon the especially developed and in
structed ability of American working
men, including the superintendent
and highest managers of industrial es-
adjustments. Natural resources, de-
clares the Cleveland Leader, will play
a less important part than in the past.
The most formidable competition Of
the coming years will be encountered
from Germany and other countries
where technical education is most adj
vanced, and this country will need
workers similarly trained to meet it..

Good Influence Of Matrimony.

Statistics seem to show that crime
Is less frequent among married men
than among those enjoying bachelor
existence. Close observation shows
that property rights are more general
ly respected by the married than the
single. The married man does not
commit the graver offenses against
property, such as robbery and fraud,
so much as the less dangerous crimes,
such as receiving stolen goods, break.
Ing the laws Of trade, and fraudulent
bankruptcy. Men who are married at
an early age-from IS to 25--offend
against property more often than the
unmarried of the same age, and mar
ried men who are older. This Is prob
ably explained by the pressure OF fam
lily expenses. Offenses against morali-
ty are far more common among I'M
married men-a fact that was to be
expected. Offenses against human
life are more frequent among the un-
married, though the disproportion Is
not so great as in the matter Of rights
of property. 1t is interesting to note,
says the New York Weekly. that the
criminality of widowers decreases with
advancing years, although this Is prob
ably true of all men. Widowers, how
ever, contribute a greater share OF
crime between the ages of 80 and SO
than either of the other classes. This
may be an argument either for or
against marriage, according to the
point of view. The longer man is mar
ried, the more law-abiding he becomes.
This may be accounted for not only
by the benign influence Of matrimony,
but also by the fact that the burden
of married life incident to the larger
birth rate at that time and the fnan-
cial straits Of the parents is greater In
the early years than 1t is later. This
Is indicated by the fact that the rate
Of offenses against property falls off
rapidly with advancing years among
the married.
