Francis Marion Crawford. who died at
Sorrento, Italy, on April 9, has been so
continuously and prominently before the
public since his first book was published
that 1t is hard to realize how compare
lively short his career has been.
A prodigious worker-he produced not
less than forty novels and historical
works-his first book, and one of his
best, MIR. Isaacs," was published only
twenty-eight years ago.
Mr.. Crawford's latest novel, which has
just been published, is, 1.-The White Sis
ter" In this novel Mr.. Crawford return
ed to Rome, the locale of his greatest
successes, the city which he doubtless
knew better than any other living writer.
At the outset he presents a heroine
who cannot fail to enlist the readers
sympathy. A charming and beautiful
girl, Angela is the daughter of the Prince
Chiaramonti, an aristocratic old adher-
emit of the clerical party more popist than
the pope" The prince is killed in an ac-
cident and 1t transpires that in his proud
allegiance to the church he had refused
to have his marriage legally ratified by
civil ceremony. Consequently his only
child has no legal status as his heir.
On this curious but perfectly possible sit
uation, complicated by the girls love for
penniless young officer, Mr.. Crawford
has built story the dramatic possible
ties of which may be guessed from the
fact that it has already been dramatized
for production on the stage.

A HOME.

Ther is no better plan to make
children love home than to make
home pleasant. A home where all is
quiet and agreeable and harsh words
aAd quarreling are conspicuous by
their absence, is a magnet that keeps
the girls attached to it and keeps
the boys off the streets. That chill
dren may love home best of all the
parents should make home most at
tractive of all, and this can be done
only by giving attention to that end.
The Harlem mother mentioned in the
item below, reproduced from the New
Orleans States, recognized the value
~Of making home pleasant and found
time in her many household duties
to plan for the pleasure of her chill
dren. There is nothing better than
a real home that binds the heart
with love and delight, and a child that
has such a home is fortunate indeed.
The States says:
"A Harlem mother has struck upon
a plan which adds greatly to the gen.
eral good humor of the household
over which she presides. A son works
with his father downtown, and there
r three girls and a boy in school.
tAt dinner every night each member
/. of the little circle must tell the fun
NEST incident in his or her personal
experiences of the day. Tried as an
experiment, the idea has been made
permanent, and it provides a barrel
of fun every twenty-four hours. 1t
also has increased the power of OBJ
servation of every member of the
family, and now the plan finds a
natural development in a scrap book
in which the pick of the crop of
stories are jOtted down"

ELECTIONS.

Elections took place in a number of
states Tuesday and the results showed
both gain and loss for reform, with
II anything a preponderance OF loss.
In Network city the contest was prin-
cipaliy against Tammany, a political
organization, Democratic in name, that
has controlled the government of New
York and the expenditure of its mil
lions Of revenue for years. The cleo
ton resulted in Tammany placing it's
c0didate for mayor, but it lost the
control Of the finances. In fact, the
Victory seems more of a defeat than
4 victory, for the valuable privilege
Of disbursing funds has been lost.
On the Pacific coast the election In
San Francisco showed a decided ret
rograde in the defeat Of F. J. Cheney,
ne prosecutor who did 30 much to
%ekthrow graft. In that city. The
eturns show that the old regime has
been restored and that reform is
either too strenuous for the people OF
Frisco, or the gang hap recovered it's
necve.
In Virginia the Democratic ticket
was elected, and, in fact, the general
results Of the election show that Re
publican success and Democratic sue
cese have followed where they have
been habitually following in the past

indifferent, are very partisan, or else

group of rugged characters typical of

they are human.
The main personnel are MacTavish,
a hard-headed Schotchman, whose
wife has long since left him on ac-
count of his nagging, leaving him a
beautiful daughter, Hilda. the counter
part of her mother and the central
figure in the drama; Jules Beauoien,
a young French Canadian, a whole

and frankly in love with Hilda; Viii
liam Macdonald, an American civil en-
gineer, forwarding the construction of
a new railroad, who is the rival OF
Beaubien for the conquest OF Hllda,
though unworthy, for he has a wife
and children in the States and regards
Hilda as a prey to his caprice; George
Huntley, a light hearted, but sturdy
youth, full of American wit and hui

colleagues, much to the amusement OF
the audience, and lending comedy to
the piece; and Ba'tiSte lie Grand, a

Captured by the Interests.
Orleans States.

New Orleans States.
For several years Representative
Mccall was admired by the country
as a courageous and Independent Re
publican member of congress from
Massachusetts, but he has been cap
tured by the Interests" and has now
a place in the Aldrich-Cannon ma
chine. In a campaign speech deliy-
There are few who wished the wool
en- schedule touched, whether ReDub-
Leans or Democrats But this state
ment is not true, because there are
millions of consumers in the country
who wanted the, wool tariff reduced
so that they would be able to wear
clothing made of wool instead of cot
ton shoddy, and these consumers were
represented by a large majority of the
Democrats in both houses and by
seven Republican senators and twenty
Republican representatives.
Now comes the Boston Traveller
with evidence from one of Mr.. Nc
Calls constituents that he is one OF
the few" who desired the reduction
of the wool schedule. The constitu-
ent, in a letter to the Traveller, says
Mccall came to him during the dis
| cussion of the tariff bill and declared
that he was Tin favor of reducing
the wool duties because they were
wrong; hat he did not see what
| could be done, as the Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Western men were OPP
posed to the reduction and they had
allied themselves with the American
Wooden Company and Aldrich, and
that the situation was wrong and dis
graceful"
"A large number of people in Mas
sachusetts have regarded Sam Mccall
as the one mon who could not be
forced to follow his convictions" says
the Traveller. What influence in this
matter was brought upon him to
overthrow these convictions and vote
for Schedule * with the Whitman
North tops item unchanged, and dur
ing this campaign to attempt to palli-
ate this act by the untrue statement
on the stump that but "a "few" people
wishes the tariff ~untouched?'
"In Mr.. Taft's speech at Winona
he described the congressman and
senators who, at the interests of the
wooden trust, sacrificed the interests
of the people in the wool tariff. Does
Mr.. Mccall regard Mr.. Taft's descrip-
ton as applying to himself?
I'VE confess that We are disap-
pointed in Mr.. Mccall. His occasional
display of independence had inspired
the hope that in him was incarnated
all that is good and beautiful and
true, as well as independent in poll
tics, but his record this year forces
us to believe that on more minute
inquiry it will be found that even the
congressman from the eighth district
is made of common clay tempered in
the furnace Of the Republican machine
and that his display of political cour-
age is reserved for occasions when it
will not change the result to do the
people any good, or interfere with his
political prospects"

The Body Is a
Fat Factory

When a man or woman grows fat and
huge, flabby layers of this worthless flesh
makes them miserable, it is a certain sign
tndt somewhere within the organism of
mat man or woman there is Something
radically wrong. The healthy man or wo-
man man digests all that is good in food and
throws off in a natural manner all that is
bad This is what the digestive juices
are made for. When these juices are
weakened or too powerful they can not get
the good things out of the nourishment we
eat, and hence they turn into the blood
enaL which makes fat. 1t is very simple to
correct these juices in a fat person. This
secret has been demonstrated in the IA
nous Marmola Tablets which now have
such a tremendous sale. They reduce fat
at the rate of from II to Is ounces a day.
Ihey correct the faulty juices and give to
the body the very nutrition 1t needs. They
remove fat in natural manner but they
do 1t SO quickly as to be almost beyond
belief You do not have to diet or exer-
else and you may eat what you will.
These little tablets are the result of a de-
m m nd on the part of the public for form
VIII permit a fat person to carry his fat
reducer with him at all times, so that
each meal will add no more fat to his
body. Marmola Tablets are sold by every
druggist, or you may write the Marmola
Company. Detroit, Mich. and case will
be sent you privately by mail The price
of Marmola Tablets is rs cts. everywhere.
