The postofice department, reccg-
| nizing the fact that mis- is the time

rallies are promoted for the holidays

pers to the fact that papers contain
ing any advertisement of a game or
scheme of chance or any announce
ment of them are barred from the
United tates mails.
The order on this subject 2romuI-
gated by the department June 10.
1905, is of wide scope and Is as fol-
lows:
The attention of postmasters and
railway postal clerks is directed to
section 499 of the postal laws ane
regulations of 1902 (section 1. act of
Sept 10. 1900 by the provision Of

terprises for the distribution of prizes

stinct to hide her wounds she stood
up quickly and said in her usual
voice VERY well, Dino; bring in the
books then.
usual form. her voice never once fall
tering, nor did she give way till the
door OF her own room was safely
locked, and she was alone for that
night Of doubt and suspense and
grief
Meanwhile Captain Britton was not
much happier than the two lovers
whose separation he had decreed. be
felt as soon as he had diymiised limo
that he had done cowSr11y thing;
hut the thought of meeting francesca
that night, or of reading prayers in
his present frame Of mind, was more
than he could endure.
AT heart the captain was a kind
man; he would have liked to please
all With whoa he came in contact, if
II only they would be pleased In his
own way: but TO have his plans
crossed TO be disappointed in any
matter upon which he had set his
heart. was too much for so proud a
temper TO bear.
Nor couId he at all understand
Carlos knight errantry. That a
brother, under the circumstances,
should be beside himself with anger
should give the traitor a good horse
| whipping or even challenge him
this he could have understood and APP
proved; but the quiet surrender of
home, country profession, and per
sonal happiness, in the hope of pre-
venting the evil, this was altogether
beyond him.
The captain liked well enough to
do good action, but it must be an
action that would be approved of
men; nothing would have induced him
to take a line that would expose him
TO censure: If he did a generous thing
he would take good care that it
should win him the pleasure and
cheering approval of his friends and
acquaintance
And yet, in spite of his anger with
Carlos uuixotic scheme, he was too
kind hearted a man not to regret the
harsh and wholly uniustifable words
which had escaped him in the heat of
the moment Keen shame made the
color mount 10 his forehead as he re-
membered that he had insulted a
guest at his own table The thought
of this troubled him more than any
thing 1t haunted him all through
the night. He regretted deeply the
pain he must give to Francesca; he
felt bituily disappointed that the
marriage should now be out of the
question; he was still indignant with
Carlos blind foolishness in going on
! the stage; but everything faded into
insignificance be fore the one great
regret-a regret which would follow
the captain to his graye-that for once
in his life he had been guilty of a
breach Of hospitality.
If sleep refused to visit either Carlo
or Francesca that night, it, was
equally cruel to Captain Britton. He
tossed and turned until the bed
clothes were in state of chaotic con-
fusion he tried the window open,
he tried the window shut, he tried a
light he tried total darkness, he
paced the room, he counted alternate
black and white sheep going through
gate, he ate bread. he smoked a ci-
gar-n fact. he tried all the remedies
for sleeplessness he had ever heard
Of.

IOWA WOr1EN WIN A VICTORY

One of the most signal victories
ever won for woman's right to the
ballot was the dcision of the su-
preme court in the suit brougt by
the women of Des Moines, Iowa, to
have set aside an election involving
the building of a city hall and the
issuance of bonds therefore, be-
cause women had not been allowed
to vote. The Supreme Court set a
side the election as invalid, for in
Iowa women have the right to vote
in bond elections. The case has
been contested through all the
courts, the suit has been carried to
its final triumph for the women by
Miss Grace Ballantyne. Competent
lawyers declare her argument was
one Of the finest ever heard in the
Supreme Court room.

When the case was first tried, the
Grand Trunk contended that the car
was not their property and were
therefore not responsible for the ac-

that inasmuch as the car was in the

the company is responsible for any
defects. The jury disagreed, and the
