BE sure of the facts before pass
ing Judgment. When you hear
reports detrimental to others don t
be hasty in forming conclusions.
It is better to be charitable when
any one is in trouble. Others may
be talked about today; tomorrow it
may come your turn. Trouble
comes to all of us and We need
each others kindness. No one is
perfect; all have frailties. If we
throw such stones at each other Our
glass houses will be shattered. Of
all our representative institutions,
the American Gossip is the most
necessarily busy, the most tireless.
Nothing escapes her, no one is too
good to be maligned. Assassina-
ton of character is her main object
and she is everlastingly at it, with
pretty fair success. Every town
has a few of this species of human
devil, some havea few more. They
may be recognized by the sanity
smirk ever upon their face, and the
I-told-you-so'' manner they
assume. But like lice and other
pests they were probably made for
a purpose.

Shawnee, Okla, Jan. 1.-Contending
that the farmers have always sup
ported all provisions tending to con

the executive committee of the Okla
homa Farmers Union and of the State
Federation of Labor, at a meeting
here, passed resolutions opposing the
fight of the commercial organizations

addition to the resolutions passed,
committees were appointed to canvass
the state in opposition to the move
ment for the amendment of the con-

In this the farmers and laboring peo-
pie or the state will combine, and
leaders of both factions declare they
will be able to defeat the efforts of
the commercial organizations in the
matter.

Miss Myrtle Eller, the girl, was
aroused about 9 o'clock by hearing
the front door of the house open. She
stepped into an adjoining room and
saw the would-be robber. She then
hurried back to another room and
notified Mrs. S. M. Hartman, Mrs.
Campbells mother, that there was a

Washington. d. c., jan 1. = The
conservation committee of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution ap-
peals to every member of its organic
alton and to all patriotic women to
begin the new year with determine
tion to use all honorable means to sup.
port the conservation measures being
carried out all over the country.
That is the keynote Of what might
be called resume of the first few
months work of the conservation com
mittee of the organization, which is
composed of members from every
state and territory in the union.

resources is the conceusus OF the
sentiment of the governors Of sixteen
states and territories who were asked
to answer the questions: What is
the especial need Of conservation in
your state" and How many women
help?"
The replies Of the governors outline
a definite comprehensive plan Of ac-
ton, which would seem capable of pro-
ducing results. The conservation com
mittee realizes that the support of any
measure to be effective must be in
telligent. and to this end conserva-
tion bulletin will be stated and will be
sent out every two or three weeks to
the public and private schools of the
country in the hope that the funda-
mentals OF conservation may find root
there It will be the principal aim to
get the bulletin into the hands of peo-
PIE who do not see the daily papers,
and in that way teach the principle of
conservation where it could not be
taught otherwise. The conservation
committee of the d. A. R., was last
April at the Continental Congress
made a national committee.
The replies of the governors indi-
cate perhaps some difference of appli-i
cation, but the principal of conser-
vation is there. In Connecticut. the
particular interest leans to the pre-
yention of pollution of streams and
preservation of forests. Governor
Gilchrist, of Florida, emphasized the
protection of song and plume birds.
Protection Of the forests is the thing
needed in Idaho, said Governor
Brady, and the women of that state
have manifested great interest Ia
the work.

servation might well be turned to the

Promises prophecies come in his train
Ger him the dawn in Its beauty is glowing,
Free from his presence the shadows of pain.

Though may blot them long with our tears;

auinine Once Fortune Maker


 Quinine is so cheap and so easily ob- tained now that the stories told in Eng land of the famous quinine speculations seem scarcely credible. However, there Java supply of cinchona bark was first opened up, that the English public in vested great fortunes in quinine specula- tions, men hurried away to the East In dies to be planters, and a few made for tunes out of the early shipments to Flu rope.
 At one time the only supply came from the western coast of South America, and English manufacturers boasted that they never made less profit than 75 cents an ounce on the drug in those days. Then the cfnchona plantations in Ceylon and India, Java, and the other islands opened up The planters gathered bark by the shipload, each one expecting to reap a fortune, and suddenly Amsterdam an- nounced to the pharmaceutical world that the first shpload had come in with enough bark to make 30 tons of quinine. One can imagine what happened to the quinine market. Later ships brought enough to make TO tons, and in a short time there was more of the drug on the market than the world could possibly use if everyone had malaria at the same time.

Heart of q Child

From the Indianapolis Star.
 Children in many directions understand more than their elders give them credit for, and on the other hand are unequal to comprehend many things that they are assumed to understand-for example, the reasons for certain lines of conduct. This is because they look upon the world with eyes that see but little of It and their visions of the years to come are filled with strange and wonderful things. They do not know that these coming years are to be governed by what they are doing now and cannot be made to understand it by being told. They must be guided into paths that lead to a happy future by other means than mere cold instruction. Their hearts must be won. In other words, they must be fathered or mothered In the best sense. It is not always easy to get childs heart, but when it Is done it is worth while. Some times a wayward boy most readily comes under the influence of a sympathetic man, sometimes of a woman, but it re- quires the true parental heart in either case. It is a working of the old law that "'tis love that makes the world go round" Love is indeed the one law that applies to children. fl IsllEaf4zl

BY LADY MARY MANwARING

irregular marriage only to find them selves tied up hard and fast for life.
 This is mere moonshine, for the validity of a marriage by declaration depends on the intention and free consent of the parties to be married
 An irregular marriage obtained by fraud, force or fear Is in no way bind ing.
 At the same time an irregular marriage is not thing lightly to be entered into. To have 1t annulled a person must prove that he was tricked or forced into it, or that, at the time, he was for one reason or another absolutely incapable of know ing what he was doing In default of such proof the law presumes intention and consent, and holds the parties to their contract.
 As the declaration may be made yer bally, and the marriage need not be reg istered, 1t is clear that if the witnesses die there may be a difficulty in establish ing the marriage. It would seem that if a william marries a girl by declaration and grows tired of her he has only to get rid of the witnesses somehow or other to be in position to repudiate his wife; but here the law Is against him.
 This brings us to the second class of Irregular marriage" namely marriage by repute or habit
 If couple have lived together as mar ried, have addressed each other as hus- band and wife, and permitted others so to address them, the Scottish law holds them married, although proof of mar riage may be wanting, even if. in fact, no ceremony has been gone through with.
 Therefore, villainy of the kind men, toned would rarely be successful, for in most cases the courts would give the wronged woman her rights.
 The third class of irregular marriage is known as marriage by promise,' and implies to cases where a woman has yielded to a lover under promise of mar riage. subsequently, ~~oken.
 Of course, the woman must satisfy the courts that marriage was promised; but provided she can do so, she can claim her betrayer as her lawful welded hus- band"
