would be five to fourteen years. kist.
fer took exceptions to this and said
man malicious enough to commit such
u crime could not be reformed in 4
period of five years. Senator Kane
also held the punishment provided in
the original bill was too severe. Juries,
he held, would not frequently convict,
should the penalty be allowed 10 re-
main in bill. Senator Beal said prose
cutOrs would have Il hard time coli
victing criminals accused of highway
robbery if the penalty remained too
high. When Il standing vote was tax

10y the Democratic State platform is
:een in the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Wells, of Allen County. 1t
Is the same as the Downey bill of the
session of two years ago. which won
some Republican support, including
that of Fred |. King. the present min
ority floor leader. King was the author
IF primary election bill himself, but
supported Downey's bill when the Re
publicans refused to pass his bill. In
many RESPECTS the bill would apply the
primary election law under which In
1ianapolis is operating TO all parts of
the State. Its effect would be to re-
qure the choice at primaries of all
candidates for township, city, county
or State offices, and to apply the gen
eral elect ION laws to the primary cleo
tons. The regular election boards
would have charge of the primary cleo
tions. Vcters would be required to an
nounce With which party they desired
TO vote and would receive a ballot with
that party's candidates for nomination
On ii. The bill seeks te legalize the
party organizations, making provision
for State, county, city, township and
Town central committees, and prescri;s-
ing how they shall be organized, the
method being practically the same rs

| llama.

THE MOTHER IN JAPAN
a Direct Cause of the Increase OF
Divorces in That Country.

a Direct Cause of the Increase of
Divorces in That Country.
There is no such thing as the moth
er-in-law joke in Japan. OF all the
serious things that the Emperor's sub
.jects take with their characteristic Sc
robustness the mother-in-law is perhaps
one Of the weightiest, says the New
York Sun.
The relation between her and divorce
statistics in the island empire recently
published by imperial commissioners
shows how inapt would be joke about
ones wife's mother in Tokyo. Accord
ing to these statistics 65.516 DEGREES Of
divorce were granted by the courts last
year. In Iwaie province the proportion
OF divorces TO marriages for the year
was 26.30 per cent. the highest per
centage in all the islands.
The commissioners themselves in Il
commentary upon the increase of iii
vorces in Japan give it as their opin-
ion that the rapid increase is due di-
rectly to the growing frequency of
clashes between wives and their moth
ers-in-law. With the Introduction of
an educative system for girls and the
softening of the stringent social bonds
that used To keep watch in a place of
obscurity has come the manifestation
of new and rebellious spirit among
the women.
Since everything In Japan is the re
verse of conditions In occidental coun.
tries it is not To be wondered at that
if there is any pressure from the tabled
hard hand of the mother-in-law it falls
upon the Japanese wife and not the
husband. This is because of the very
fundamentals of japanese religion and
family life.
Since the son must always be loyal
and obedient to his parents during their
lifetime. no matter how querulous and
exacting old age may make them. when
he takes a wife that unfortunate WON.
an is more than her husba nj n slave to
her husbands mother. From the days
when Shinto began to be the national
faith of the Japanese filial affection
and obedience necessitated rs matte.
of course that though the son might
marry his abode should be the abode
of his parents until their death unless
their consent to another arrangement
could be secured.
This has meant that two and often
three generations occupy one house and
Of all the occupants of one of these
communal houses the younger wives
are the least important. They remain
strictly accountable to their mothers
in-law until such time as death steps
in and makes them supreme.
Although in the larger cities the
western civilization has to great ex-
tent modified ancient custom. much OF
the irksOmeness of ancient restrictions
remains in the family life of the coun-
try people. There it is that the clash
between the new-found independence
of the women. found in schooling. and
the old scheme of dominant mother
in-law has brought about the greatest
number of separations in families Of
the newer generation.

CHAPTER XII.

Harold Denison touched his hat haught-
lily. and rode home; bun the old usurer's
artful speech still simmered in his brain.
Why should it not be: 1t would cut the
tangled knot of his difficulties. He had
made inquiries. Young Pearman had
been brought up gentleman, and visited
in several good houses in the county. He
naturally little exaggerated this to him
self, to justify the course he intended to
pursue; nay. for the matter of that, had
been pursuing for some days. His wife
had told him that she had laid the Pear
man proposition before Maude, and that
the young lady had declined, with thanks
since which intelligence he had bullied
Mrs Denison, and snubbed or treated his
daughter with cold Indifference. The heads
of the family can make contumacious
children conscious of their high displeas-
IRE without any unseemly rating-indeed.
that may be look ed upon as mere mild and
salutary punishment compared to the 9th

ically, consists in being condemned to the

daughters than sons. But don't we all
know it; the chilling rejoinder that meets
any attempt at geniali,y-the austere
look that seems to say it is heresy that
we should presume to forget the measure
of our offending-the moral thong always
awaiting us should we show any signs of
relarsing into cheerfulness? Bah !, those
phys zeal torturers of the middle ages were
mer, bunglers at their craft.
From this time poor Maude's life was
made heavy to bear. Harold Denison sent
for her to his study, and himself put
Pearman's proposal before her. He en-
larged upon its advantages, and declared
that il was her duty to save the property
TO her descendants; on her head it rest
ed whether the Denisons of CHM should
cease to exist, as of course her future
husband must take her name. For him
self, he cared not-he was an old man,
and il mattered little to him. Any foreign
watering place was good enough for him
to wear out his miserable life in. lie

was sad that a father should plead be-

CHAPTER x.-(Continued.)


Grenville had made up his mind that he
was powerless; but still. all the same,
Maude's letter must be answered. This.
again, was not so easy to do When the
girl you are in love with appeals TO you

would seem to be TO run away with her

to offer a good modern substitute for the
right of sanctuary; but seen closely, II Is
often found inconvenient and scarcely
pos sible." So. though to emulate young
Lociinvar and bear off your fair Ellen
Of Netherby may seem the proper thing
TO do on the first blush of such occasion,
YET. on mature reflection, it may prove
hardly feasible Mrs. Lochinvar must be
clothed and fed, while the reiving and
raiding by which that adventurous gallant
doubtless supported the lady of his love

saIc term of robbery with violence" The

rather to his disadvantage. by criminal
court judge. would probably be the ter
mination of young Lochinvar's career in
these days.
What is he to write? What is he to
say? Can you not guess? OF course he
will sit down and do the very thing he
should not. He can't help, but he can
complicate her troubles. Love Is essen
tally selfish passion. Having no con-
ISOLATION to offer her, no assistance to rem
der her, he betakes himself to his desk
and pours forth his story of love and la
mentation. He exhorts her not to marry
Pearman, but gives her no hint of how
she Is to combat the difficulties that sur
round her. He pours forth, in good, hon.
est, genuine terms, the tale of his love I;
ne dwells on the certainty of his having
q home ere long to offer her through his
own exertions. and winds up with ire
mendous peroration about having loved
her from her cradle. He has done moth
ing of the kind His love is a child of
something under a twelvemonth's growth !;
and though / fear all lovers romance
fearfully. they thoroughly believe in their
dgments at the time. Then comes another
sheet of postscript about "can she love
himT' he shall know no rest till he gets
Der answer. And after it is all done
and posted, Granville Rose feels more IN
easy than ever. He is not thinking ST
much of poor Maude's troubles as What
will she say to his declaration of love?
He racks his brain for every trace of
favor she has shown him all the Fast
gear. Sweet and cousinly she has been
ever, but no sign of love can he recall.
Fool that / have 5senr' he mutters: Il
have been so careful not TO give her a
hint of my feelings. I wish / had that
letter back No. don't. l don't know,

tanned pretty well the gist of Grenville's
thoughts at present.

had dweit and been known since the Wars
of the Roses all this it was in Maude's
power 10 avert. Why could she not mar
ry this man? He hard been brought up
gentleman, and mixed in the best society
in the county. If not quite her equal in
blood. he would repair the shattered for
tunes of the family. Such matches were
made every day The destiny of the plu
tocracy was to strengthen the aristocracy.
Far be it from him to put any pressure
upon her. but it was his duty as a parent
to lay the whole case before her.
Calamity did Maude fight her battle,
and though at the end of this long inter
view she stood with flushed and tear
stained cheeks to listen to her fathers
final exordium, she was still resolute in
her refusal.
But the struggle was too unequal I'm
der the pressure put upon her by her hus-
band Mrs. Denison had not only made
Maude write letter of remuneration to
Grenville Rose, but had penned him a very
severe philippe herself. in which she in.
sisted that all correspondence should
cease between them. She had further
under the threat of revealing everything
to Mr. DenisOn, extorted a promise from
Maude that she would write no more to
her cousin. She knew her daughter well.
and felt implicit confidence that. her word
once pledged, troth would be kept.

attack. 1t is a common enough story,

you not easily guess the result? She was
a high-spirited girl. and bore herself
bravely in the beginning; but cut of
from all communication with her lover,
she gave way at last TO the moral pres
