| On bureau Catlett found a farewell
letter from his wife. which explained
her reasons for doing what she thought
| was best. This note said;
Ny Precious Darling
Don't mourn me, my love. / have en-
joyed your love- your ever ready willing
ness 10 do anything and everything. no
matter what. And. ON. George wish /
could go with just you and the love,
for it is so pure and great. My very life
is ono continuous thought OF thankfuIness
for it, but my mind must be relieved; the
tension. my love, is frightful, and l have
just got to put an end to 1t. Don't think
me cruel to the little life I've made but
rather that I am saving her 50 much pain,
for bodily pain is nothing to this, that is
either insanity or nervousness. only God
knows.
She would surely inherit it, and wish 1
had taken her, in the years TO come, for
thought il a terrible act to allow myself
ever to be q parent. Marry some woman.
my boy, that is worthy of You, some one
that is as glorious as you. l want to kiss
you one more time, but must do the act
now, for ] am so tired of wanting the
nerve to do 1t.
It is only solely my mind. Kiss my poor,
precious mother and tell her 10 pray, as I
have to-day, trusting that God is and will
let me be only nothing. That life is all
that there is. I have thought of you, boy
with me, to spare you this frightful thing;
but you would stop me. II is disgrace,
ana am softly 10 De IUdI 10 my IdHliy anu
to you: but forgive me. my darling. II Is
2:53 p. m, and ] hope il won't be hard on
US and I am wondering if the little darling
would be more of a blessing 10 you well
as comfort than misery to herself.
Tell papa I am taking what I gave TO
her-life; and that which mama gave to
me. That l only have TO answer for. Put
our baby in the very same place with me
and try 10 think always of my love for you.
Not this horrible nervousness Every one
knows / adore you, surely there can
be possibility of any blame being at
tached to you
Leave nv Iocket on me. but won't you
wear our wedding ring, my darling. I have
loved IL so. careSsed and kissed il as the
outward sign of the happiest moments of
my life. I want to go so much, George
and yet. oh. my precious husband. I want
to go on loving you and having your love.
If the stuff does not bring the end. what
shall do. for you would never justly trust
me, so I pray 1t does.
II I leave our baby. tell her I kissed
her with lots of love and am so sorry ever
TO have been cross TO her. To grow UP to
be such a woman as her father IS man.
but I must take her and save her those
kind of hours, for her little soul is pure
Yours. my poor darling. wronged nus

Washington, Feb. s.--For the first

Oh i particular rule was caused BY the
Fitzgerald amendment 70 the rules
adopted last March, providing for Q
unanimous consent calendar. When that
calendar was reached yesterdy, Mr.. Nc
Lachlan Of California called up a bill
authorizing the diversion Of an appro-
priation on harbor project There was
objection to the bill IN many quarters,
and rather than risk an objection, which
would display the bin on the calendar,
Mr. MeLachlan asked unanimous consent
that the bill 60 over without preju-
dice"
Mr.. Gaines Of West Virginia made the
point Of order that the request was out
Of order. and he was followed BY several
members, who endcavored to eonstrue
the rule, some Of them maintaining that
the speaker could entertain the request
and others that the passing the bill over
without prejudice would defeat the Oh.
isct II the rule THE speaker with con-
siderable feeling announced that he was
entirely without feeling IN the matter
and would submit the entire PROPOSE
ton to the House for It's decision.
after great agitation throughout the
country said the speaker, in the press,
both newspapers and magazines, in which
it was charged that members had to
crawl upon their knees and suffer the
Joss Of their dignity in order to get bills
considered, the House in its wisdom
made calendar Wednesday the unani-
nous consent calendar to meet the very

The speaker then declared that It was
up to the House to decide how the new
rule should b construed, and he sub
mitted this proposition. Shall il be
in order after discussion Of a bill on
the unanimous consent calendar for the
speaker to entertain request for rec,
ignition for motion that bin be

Heretofore, the speaker has construed

has he asked the membership Of the
House to come to his assistance. As

The Game Vastly Different From That

Chess Is but a game, a pastime, a
relaxation. but It has at times alb
sorbed the faculties Of the intellectual
ia every cline. Perhaps the greatest
eulogy on the game was the remark
Of Sir Walter Raleigh, n do not wish
to live longer than can play chess. h
It = certain that those who do not
play the game are quite unable 70
form any conception Of the high intel
lectuai delights experienced BY the
chess enthusiast
The origin Of chess has been sought
IN vain The fact Is the game has SO
changed. developed and improved
down the course OF centuries that in
It's present form It would not be rec
ognized BY its inventor. If there ever
was one. The oldest chess problem on
record is thought to be that contained
