Oriqin of the Loving Cup.

Our modern loving cup doubtless is
derived from the cup used in a queel
custom which had it's birth amidst the
gallantry of the middle ages. The
guests were placed two and two, mar
and woman together, and they drank
from the same cup, and ate from che
same dish, which was called "eating
in the same porringer" In families
the same goblet served for all. Saint
Berlanda's daughter washed her ia

Report, However, Is Sent Back fos
Further Consideration.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE committee
of three physicians and t~o lawyers
appointed to investigate the case of
John r. Early, the alleged leper, have
reported that in their opinion Early is
probable leper. The report was read
and at it's conclusion DR.. L. G. Bulke-
ly, who has all along denied that Early
has any symptoms of leprosy, said:
81 ask that out of justice to Early
this report be sent back for further

in doing him a grevious injustice"

hour and then sent back.

ing of the ways was that the latter re-
fused to pony up quarter of million
dollars for the presidential campaign
of Senator LaFollette-such was the
statement of Senator Stephenson.
Stirred Up by Attorneys.
The examination took place in the
office of Frost e Frost. Edward Lees
of Winona appeared for Mr.. Twesme
and former Attorney General James l.
O'Connor for Mr. Ekern. Senator Ste
phensor was in the city on his way to
Washington and arrangements had
been made for his examination
It is possible Stephenson would not
have said so much, but the persistency
of the insinuations with which the at
torney for the plaintiff stirred him Fl
nally brought from him the reason La
Toilette and his progressive" support
ers switched away from him. From
Stephenson's testimony, given at times
with evident reluctance, it appeared
that after ne had been asked to sweet
en- the campaign pot with $250,000, the
demand was lowered to $4,000. ana
finally the LaFollette men were glad to
take two checks for 81 900 each
Another Line of Argument.
When he was in Washington Mr.
Ekern, he said. came to the hotel
where he was staying and opened an
other line of argument, the burden Of
which was that Senator Stephenson
ought to help along the progressive
cause. of which Senator LaFollette
was the leader, by contribution Of
$25, 900
Ekern argued persistently, but Ste
phenson proved obdurate. All he would
agree to do was to pay the expenses of
the headquarters when the LaFollette
men went 10 Chicago to the national
convention. On this. Ekern it is said,
engaged thirty rooms in hotel. The
hotel people. however. insisted on a
bond of s2.S0O and bond was forward
ed to Washington for Stephenson's
signature.
Stephenson said he refused to sign
it. but later sent the LaFollette COM
mittee a check for 81 900
Has Letters from LaFoiIette.
He said further, when the suggestion
was made that his memory might be
bad, that in support of what he might
say, be had stack of letters from La
Toilette and his followers, which
would in time be published and
would show up some people in a dil-
ferent light than that in which they
had posed.
They will make interesting read
ing said Mr. Stephenson.
At the conclusion of the examina-
zion Mr.. Ekern. white with rage. said:
You are an old man. senator, but
you have done great injustice to Sen
sator LaFollette."
II may be an old man," replied Ste
phenson. but am not so old that |
DO not know what am saying"
