THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
TIRED OF LIFE

felt I had misread the emotions of ! my heart. The daughter appealed to me, I assure you, as no other woman on earth ever had appealed.
 T immediately endeavored to take her heart by storm. I felt that life without her would be a desert waste. I had to engineer things with great tact and convert myself into a board of strategy, for Mrs. Flasher was always asking me if I got that marriage li- cense I went after, and she seemed inn patient to be led to the altar. I laid siege to Mary in a clandestine way and managed to eludeA the old lady's vigil . ance.
 Mary consented to be my bride and l made my second trip to the court house fairly intoxicated with happi- ness. Unless you have wooed and won
 star eyed maiden like Mary, my dear sir, you simply can't understand how tumultuous were my emotions. T got the second license and hasten ed home, and was met by Mrs Hash
 CTS second daughter, Jessie, whom I had never seen before. She had been
 going to the university and had run down home for visit.
 s'The moment I saw her I realized that she was my true soul mate. One glance from her hazel eyes convinced
 me that she had been created for me alone and I for her.
 T haven't the heart to detail the events of the following days. My for mer difficulties were doubled, for both Mary and her mother, unknown to each other. were expressing great anxiety on the subject of marriage licenses. had to resort to all sorts of tactics in
 my courtship of Jessie. but finally she agreed to fill the vacant place in my heart. and we went quietly to the judge
 to be married. That excellent man was just pronouncing the solemn words which should have made us one when Mrs Flasher entered the room by one door and Mary by another. The scene that foIlowed-''

I have everything all ar ranged with Jim Evans and he'll see that the obsequies are conducted ac- cording to Hoyle. When a man has as much trouble as I have the only thing he can do its to cash in and be at rest.
 You see. I've been boarding for a year or more with Mrs. Flasher, d wid- ow of a certain age, so to speak. She's such an excellent cook that l fell in love with her several months ago and paid court to her in the most ardent way. I am a susceptible man and feminine charms always did get me go- ing. Finally she consented to be mine and one evening, with a heart palpi tating with happiness I went to the courthouse and secured a marriage license.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
What Is Money?

MT. Editor: What would you think or man that had one hundred dollars or money ill the till of his chist" and wanted to buy q cow the price being one hundred dollars instead of taking that money and paying for the COW, ne buys the COW and gives his note for one hundred dollars with interest and leaves the money lying in the "chist" ?
 DO you believe such a person would know enough to feel offended if you told him he acted foolish? Would not such a transaction have a tendency to make the price of the milk higher if he sold it? Would not such a sys- tenn of doing all business have ten dency to make the cost of living
 much higher, than it naturally would be if it was done under d system pay as you go? Now, l wish to draw a parallel. First, I wish to assert that money to be genuine money must be legal tender with power to pay debt
 This legal tender quality comes through law of congress. The above being true, then it can safely be as serted that Money is a creation of law" Again, money legal tender money, being a national (not a locaD factor or function, must necessarily be created by congress, and as con- gress is for the purpose of making laws for the whole people, is it not reasonable to believe that it is the duty of congress to create money for all tue people to use? In nutshell
 is it not like this: Congress having the power (and right. if you please) to create or make a legal tender mon ey to pay an! debt (wthin it's juris-

When to Beat a Wife.

Any New Yorker who wishes to beat his wife without giving her ground for divorce in that state has now only to
 let her nag him into nasty mood, and
 whack back away with what ever comes handy. A justice over in Brook
 lyn denies a wife's suit for divorce upon the ground that the blows ad- ministered by the husband were pro voked by the wife's nagging habits, a
 decision implying that the court re- gards the feminine tongue as a cruel and dangerous weapon. Of course, it will be unsafe for any man to assume that his wifes ascriptiOn of the chill dren's bad table manners, or mental and physical shortcomings to the fathers corresponding deficiencies will justify his stunning her with 8 book or making other violent demonstration. A wife's sheer at her mother-inla laws cooking, the bibulous habits of her relative by marriage, or the criminal record of her husbands more or less remote ancestors, might perhaps be re- garded by the New York courts as mitigating circumstances in her subse- ouent suit for marital assault, and we take it that the Brooklyn justice who has given the decision under consider ation would make large allowance for an exhibition of hasty temper by 8 husband whose wife had ridiculed his

MONEY IN POLITICS.

The publicity given to the cost of campaigning under the corrupt prac- tices act of this and other states shows that money is in politics, and that the mans ability to put up' has more or less to do with his popularity as a candidate. although the recent election showed clearly that it did not tell for success like uprightness or recognized integrity of character.
 The Rutland News, commenting up- on this subject, says:
 Some think the way to prevent the use of money in elections is to nomi- nate men who would not spend it But such men, as a rule, are very un- popular. and the people always want popular men for candidates. When the general tone is elevated to the point where money is not looked for and de- manded in elections there will be less of it used. Money Is not used in poli- tics unless there is some one to re- ceive it.'
 The logic of this paragraph is clear enough The law cannot prevent the use of money, but the public conscience can when it recognizes that money and merit are not synonymous, neither money and manhood. Correct estimates and right action tell for better politi- cal practices.

Should be Less Reminiscent.

Charleston must be disappointed by the result of the census enumeration, for it's population is found still to be below the 60.000 mark. With 5S,SS3 nhabitants, Charlestons growth for the decade has been less than per cent. though this is a greater rate of increase than it exhibited in the pre- ceding ten-year period. Charleston's situation, off the main line of great railroad systems, is a partial expla- nation of it's slow growth. Its port has never recovered from the war. Savannah has intercepted the cotton trade; and Charleston looks to the phosphate beds instead of to the plan tation for business expansion. Still one of the most attractive cities of the south, with an admirable winter climate, it ought to find in these ad- vantages a revenue that would par tially compensate it for some of it's disappointments. Other of the rebel lion cities have fared much better Richmond and New Orleans, Atlanta and Savannah are as if the war had never been, while Columbia, the cap ftal of South Carolina, has now more than 26,00O inhabitants, an icrease of 25 per cent. Columbia has gone in for cotton mills; possibly if Charles tonians were less reminiscent they might find an industrial opening for their city as well-Richmond Times and Despatch.

GETS NO DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT

Governor elect Fozs of Massachu- setJs gets no support in his campaign in the state against the re- election of Loigs for senator and when he start ed for Cape cOd to open his political assauR upon htn, the democrats re- fused to accompany him, and he now has only the support of the insurgent republicans. It is believed that the prospect for Senator Lodges re-eIec- tiou by the legislature grows better every day. He has the support of the best element of the old Bay state William +. Moody, former justice of fne supreme court. has written a let fer 10 his representative in the legis- iature, urging him to stick to Senator Lodge, whom he calls "the most com potent legislator in the country. His extraordinary experience, his wide reading and knowledge. his peculiar capacity for public speech and his great ability, all render him an ideal senator, a man it to succeed Webster. sumner and Hoar. Let us not idly throw him aside because Of minor diff ferences."

TAX ON CHRISTMAS TREES.

The Vermont legislature has made a law taxing the little evergreen trees cut in November, to be sent out of the state, for home decoration at Christ mas time, twenty five cents each, as a means of conserving the forests and preventing their shipment from the state. Whether the scheme will work as expected remains to be seen. The tax is not likely to make much diff ference. In this age the people feel that they have got to have Christmas trees, and the addition of 25 cents will not stop them from buying one tree in 8 year. The only advantage we can see from the proposed law is that it may add Q few thousands to the treas ury of the state. There will be just as many trees marketed as ever and the only difference will be that they will cost a little more. But what will the children care for that? Or their par ents, either?

Immediate Relief Proposition

Mir. Editor: Among the multitude of suggestions on the water question, l would like to offer the following for the immediate relief of our citizens who are suffering the greatest destf- tuition and distress. I read MT. Ryth- CTS plan concerning Trading Cove brook Why wait for the slow and elaborate plan to pump water into our mains? Why not have the fire depart ment send a steamer to Trading Cove pond to fill casks loaded on wagons and such of our watering carts as are Serviceable. and distribute it to our public schools and citizens where it is most needed. The expense would be comparatively light. Each team could easily make two trips daily. It appears to me that this woulG relieve much present suffering, and would in no way interfere with the committee already appointed to investigate and report. This, perhaps. would tide us over a hard place, until wiser and better plans can be put into successful opera tion. I know of no person who can make a legal objection to our use of this source of supply, except the Hall Brothers. The generosity of these gen. clement is so well known that we need not fear serious objection on their part.
