ards. He had told each and every one
of them that he had never loved be-
fore and would never love another.
Moreover, it did not occur to him that
he was telling an untruth. Was it an
antruth? Was it not rather that same
unbroken stream which had been flow
ing ever since he could remembers
And were not these girls the bubbles
floating on its surface?
His engagement with Miss Allen
having lasted the longest. he was the
least disposed to spend his surplus
time in her company. Miss Cook came
next both as to the interval since they
had plighted their troth and in receiv.
ing her lovers attention. Miss Rich
ards. to whom he had become engaged
last, was undeniably his favorite.
These three young ladies undertook
to land their catch on or about the
same time. One morning he received
a note from Miss Allen stating that
she had heard things to induce her to
believe that he had been trifiing with
her. The next day Miss Cooks mother
called upon him and asked him when
it would be convenient for him to mar
ry her daughter. The same evening.
meeting Miss Richards at a ball, she
cut him dead
This settled the matter. Finding
himself compelled to choose between
the three. he chose the one who had
cut him. He called upon her and
made a solemn contract with her that
she should be the real and only Mrs.
Hammond, agreeing to write note to
each of her rivals stating this fact and
that all was over between him and
them. Miss Richards took the notes
and dropped them in the mail.
Within a few days Mr.. Hammond re-
ceived q communication from Miss
Allen and another from Miss Cook,
each stating that If he persisted in his
dishonorable course she would sue him
for breach Of promise. Hammond in
closed the notes to his fiancee with
the Endorsement on the back: What
am 1 to do? If marry you these girls
will sue me for breach of promise"
The notes came back Endorsed, "If you
breach of promise"
Here was a dilemma.
It may be supposed that so serious
a condition of affairs might have
caused Mr.. Hammond some concern.
Not so. His pure spirit, intrenehed be-
hind good conscience-he loved them
all-was unruf1ed. He did not even
trouble himself how he was to escape,
fguratively speaking, this gigantic
pair of pinchers that were closing to
crush him. Nevertheless a man in
or out of trouble needs woman's SYM
patty. The poor fellow was engaged
to three girls. and there was not
among the three one to whom he could
go for comfort or advice. What was
more natural than that he should
choose a fourth into whose ears he
could pour his troubles?
Caroline Carr was the person who
heard the story and listened to it with
heartfelt sympathy. With moistened
eyes she permitted her shoulder to sink
against his. and somehow their hands
met. Then she looked up at him, her
compassionate heart going out to him

A Living Question.

3 A petition has been sent to congress
praying for the end of arbitrary rule in
the Philippines and the granting of
independence to the people of that
country The petition bears the names
of a large number of men who are
prominent in all walks of life. One
clause OF the petition reads:
I'VE urge these things because we
believe that they are right, and that
the substitution of arbitrary power for
government by the people under our
flag indicates a steadily increasing
tendency away from free government,
which should be resisted and stopped.
1t is clear that the people of this
country know little of the facts, care
little what is done in our dependency
and are tired of their colonial adven-
ture. While these conditions exist
the interests of the dependency must
suffer, and no one can doubt that these
conditions are likely to be permanent.
We feel that every American citizen
WHO is opposed to the policy of colon
iAlism should make his opposition
known and should insist on learning
all the facts, believing that were these
known the policy would be abandoned
With race problems, labor prob
lsms, taxation problems at home, let
US not remain supine while we are
being committed to the creation of
like problems In distant colonies, prob
1eras which will remain to be a con-
slant source of trouble and expense
until the country does what we urge
NSto do now; that is, leave every peo-
ple free to govern themselves"
Is it not time that we took an adj
vanced position on this question?
How long are we to control a people
against their will? AS Lincoln once
said, NO man has the right to control
another without that others consent"

Indiana Democracy.

| Indiana democrats are not only
| hopeful but confident of achieving a
victory, and the meeting of the state
committee at Indianapolis finds the
members harmonious and OF good
cheer.
The coming state convention will
nominate a full ticket, except gov
ernor and lieutenant governor. Gov
ernor Marshall is to serve two more
years. and the lieutenant governor is
not elected this year. A legislature
that will choose the successor to
United States Senator Beveridge also
Is to be elected.
The democratic leaders profess to
believe that the republicans are ''in
bad" not only as regards the state
Offices, but also the senatorship. That
the Beveridge supporters are some
what worried over the outlook is not
to be denied. They have decided to
place the senator before the people
as a man who has stood for the peo-
rle's interest. Senator Beveridge
voted against the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill and his supporters propose to
make capital of this fact, no matter
what the standpatters think of It. The
people OF Indiana are strong for re-
vision downward, and the republican
leaders think Senator Beveridge laid
strong foundation for victory when
he voted against the tariff bill.
But the republicans will have to
carry the state by from 25, 900 to 35,-
coo to insure the election of a majori-
ty of the Legislators The task is diff
ficult because the democrats have a
large number of holdover members Of
the senate. Thomas Taggart will
probably be the most effective force
for the election of a democratic legis-
lature. 1t Is said now that Mr.. Tag
CART will devote himself almost wholly
to this cause. The democrats also
place great confidence In the work
which Governor Marshall may be able
to do.
To all appearances there is greater
harmony among the democrats at
present than among the republicans.
In naming his executive committee
and campaign committee, U. S. Jack
son, democratic state chairman, di-
vided his appointments almost equally
between out and out Taggart men and
Marshall men Friends of Governor
Marshall believe he and Taggart will
work pretty well in harmony in the
coming campaign, and that Taggart
will be willing to give his assistance
in landing the presidential nomination
for the governor two years hence
If the republican platform be de-
voted wholly to local questions, as is
advised, the democrats will pitch their
platform upon national basis, attack
ing the tariff law and republicanism
generally. If the republican platform
wades into national questions and does
not support the Payne law and repub-
licanism, as construed by President
Taft and the majority, then the presl
dent and those with him will have
little sympathy with what is done. If
the platform defends the tariff law
and republican management of govern
ment affairs generally the democrats
propose to appeal to the anti-Aldrich
and antfCannon sentiment that exists
in the republican ranks.

arr marketed has steadily grown.

gaR' marketed has steadily grown.
The easy answer to this puzzle is
furnished In the department OF agri-
culture report The mixers" buy real
maple sugar and use 1t to flavor a
body Of glucose or cane sugar six TO
ten times as great. In states without
pure food laws the purchaser is at the
mercy OF the mixer. In others his pro.
duct is sold under such titles as ma
pleine"
In a congressional hearing some
years ago a mixer argued that adulter
alton with pure glucose or cane sugar
should be permitted because there was
only enough maple sugar made to
supply per cent of the demand. Even
so, It would be fairer to sell 1t hon
estly. Economical housewives who get
maple sugar " straight from the farm
can put with it twice its weight OF
graduated sugar, water as needed and
boil to a syrup. The family will not
know the difference. The further north
the sugar is made the stronger the
flavor.
The color of maple sugar has moth.
ing to do with its genuineness. Made
by Indians. by putting hot stones into
sap in embark tubs, it was black.
Made in open kettles by old fashioned
farmers who kept it from boiling over
by dipping in bits of pork. it is dark.
Evaporated under cover in shallow
pans over steam coils and stirred
while cooling, It is light and granular.
In spite of tempting offers of new
sugar the season is only In it's be-
ginning. The first runs" are the best.
But all maple sugar is good that comes
only through honest hands from the
maker Of the griddle cake.

The Argus Daily Short Story
Too Much Engaged-By Walter Towne Matthews.

Dick Hammond was the most pop
ular man in his class at college. Every
body loved him, both boys and girls.
There are young fellows-and girls, for
that matter-who achieve social prom
inence by treating every one in their
select circle with cultivated cordial
ity. Dick Hammond treated every
one, irrespective of station, with a
sincere regard. His heart was spring
from which dubbed perennial stream
of love for all mankind.
If this love runnel had been only for

Maple Sugar.

In the good old days maple sugar

was maple syrup, and there was plenty
of the genuine article to be had for
the buying. But now-a-days-welI,

the greater portion OF these articles
which pass for genuine never in any
shape saw a maple tree.
In 1860. for instance, our farmers
made 40,120.205 pounds of maple sugar
and 1,597,5s9 gallons of syrup. In 1900,
owing to the cutting of trees. the pro-
duct had fallen to 11,9s2.720 pounds
and 2,056,611 gallons. The farm price
per pound was less In 1900 than in
