corrupt practices freely INDUCED

members. 1t is most fortunate for
the nation that it, has a Roosevelt

altogether too plain spoken in his
message for the dignity of the

seem to have cut deep, but the gen
eral public, with memories of the
Standard Oil correspondence, with
Senators and Representatives on
trial for fraud, to say nothing of
this latest exposure regarding Sen

Embarrassing a Friend. .

Attorney H. A. Kelley once caused
untold embarrassment to the late E.
A. Handy, general manager of the
Lake Shore railroad. The two were
sitting side by side in the theater.

and a particularly ruddy specimen OF
night blooming highball blossom on
his nose.

The steamer On which Mrs. Dimes
arrived was three days belated, to our
great impatience, arriving only the
day but one before the wedding invita-
tions were to go out; and as the
bishop was away from town on trip,
which annoyed and puzzled his sister.
It fell to my lot to accompany her to
meet Mrs. Dimes.

She nodded briefly when was pre-

closed her eyes, maintaining an abso-
lutte silence except when she aroused
herself to answer 'riefy some ques-
tion in the flow of Miss Winstanleys
solicitude. It was evident that NAL
de mer did not leave her In the most
amiable spirits in the world.
Henrietta Winstanley sank lower
and lower in her corner of the car
riage, looking at me with appealing
and detected eyes. 1t was no won

wearing days on Mrs. Dimes and then
to have her arrive in this undone
and uncommunicative condition was
enough to sink even her buoyant spir-

ness of the whole affair as had felt
1t from the beginning.
AS we neared the Winstanley house,
Miss Winstanley said, quite casually:

eyes few open on the instant. why
