of a personal nature, but in the line
of public duty as it presented itself
at the time. 1t bears him no grudge,
and his attitude toward the paper

The Argus Daily Short Story
SOME PRIVATE INQUIRIES--BY MARIE DEIOGOFF
rhtedl hy ated literary

They were SO placid and pliable that
at times. many times during each day,
they seemed to have reached the point
where they appreciated each other.
Some of their dearest friends almost
feared that the couple wouldn't sepa
rate after all. and thus another choice
subject fer brilliant conversation
would be lost to society.
After about four weeks an official
looking letter was delivered to the hus
band at his club. He had been wait
ing for just such a letter. and he was
SO anxious to see it's contents that he
glanced only carelessly at the super
scription.
His first surprise came Il moment
later. when he saw the words Dear
Madam" swimming before his eyes.
Now, he was not a dear madam"
Yet he went right on and read that
private inquiry report to the end. He
couldn't help it. though he felt that he
was base.
We find that your husband was
known to have very bad temper as
far back as twenty years ago" wrote
the investigator People who know
him best are unit in agreeing that he
is very selfish by nature and hopeless
~ tenacious of his opinions.
,, His overbearing disposition con-
tinued the report. has alienated many
friends and several relatives. In one
instance. during his bachelorhood
days, he nearly threw a dish at his
cook and would have inflicted serious
injury had he made good his threat. as
there is every reason to believe he
| might have done.
I'VE have not been able to prove, but
| still strongly suspect. that you are not
the first nor even the second nor third
| woman he has loved or pretended TO
love.
I'VE have it from his ex-valet that
he arose several times at midnight to

cigarettes. as if greatly worried.
Livingston Perry felt rather fiat

Menace to the Party.

William J. Bryan has not minced his
words in speaking of the 90 recusant
democrats of the house whom Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald led into the repub-
lican camp, and who have just issued
a labOrcd defense of an act which
filled Speaker Cannon and his adher-
ents with joy. AS the French proverb
has it, he who excuses himself accuses
himself. But still greater evil threat
ems the national democracy on the
part of the same deserters in the
consideration of the tariff oil. Wash
ington correspondents mention the
names of democratic members in this
! list of 23 who denounce the Payne
bill not because of the inadequacy of
its reduction of duties favoring the
trust. but because it reduces the duties
too much for them. The democrats
throughout the land adds the Philadel-
phia Record. cannot be too earnestly
warned against this menace to the in
tegrity of the party and its dearest
principles. If the democratic party
IL
its national conventions and on the
floor of congress. its abiding hostility
to the system that protects the trusts
and despOils the consumers of the
country, there might be some excuse
for the treason that threatens its
councils. But there can be no excuse,
least of all for democratic members
who have filed volumes of the con-
gressional record with their denun-
Citations of the republican tariff policy.
When it comes to a revision of the
existing tariff of denominations common
sense and patriotism alike affirm the
Democratic principle that local inter
ests here and there should yield to
the general welfare Opposition IS
made, for example. to repeal of the
duty on hides tof which the beef trust
is the prime beneficiary on the
ground that this is in the special inter.
est of the New England shot manufac
tuners. Yet the shoe manufacturers
are not complaining of the intended
reduction of duties on their products
, The democrats when in control of con
gress merely kept hides on the free
list. but added to it wool and lumber
with the approval of the entire party
| At any rate little Or no heed was
taken by the representatives of the
fparty to the "shrieks of loyalty" nc
| matter how importunate. Reaction
against this liberal policy by a faction
! in congress would serve to indicate
| the degree to which the virus of pro
! lection has penetrated the democracy
! in the last 10 years.

sound policy demands that the corrup

There were compliments. congratulate
lions and showers of rice and slippers
when Livingston Perry and Marjory
Manners were wed. Some people ac-
tually said it was love match and
that the honeymoon would last for
years. Only some people said that,
however. Others knew it to be simply
Il fashionable wedding.
Not that the turtledoyes do not Goa

brought it about, but the principal one
was that after three months of ex-
tremely conventional politeness Mr..
and Mrs. Perry discovered that they
were not suited to each other.
Both were full of opinion. and both
were stubborn. Both were extrava-
CANT. Both felt the loss of personal
freedom. Feeling thus. it was easy to
find fault. and fault finding soon led to
| more serious things.
They declared an armed truce for
| another three months. and then each
decided that separation was inevitable.
Still. husbands and wives cannot very
well separate without some reasonable
excuse to give TO their friends.
Marjory couldn't think of one. and
Livingston was in the same predica-
ment. Both bent their minds to the
problem, and. as they had plenty of
time. they did it faithfully.
On the same day and almost at the
same hour bright thought struck
this unhappy couple simultaneously
1t was to hire somebody to investigate
| and find the valid excuses that were
needed

year and half previous to marriage

Civilization in the Tenement.

Representative Frank J. McNichols
of the Illinois general assembly is from
Chicago, where the owning of apart
ment houses is a business for revenue
only where landlords are obdurate and
the restrictions of the lease are harsh
and are vigorously enforced. Year by
year the cruel landlord in the great
city is becoming more and more un-
feeling and more mercenary and the
conditions in the terms of rental are
growing, accordingly, more onerous
with the renewal of the lease when the
first day of May rolls around. Suffice
1t to say that the task of the young
married couple to secure a favorable
fiat has indeed become an arduous one
Even though the requirements of the
lease be met in every particular at the
beginning of the term of rental, they
