High Value of One Word.

ExPresident Roosevelt, it is said.
gets 50 a word for his stuff. Rudya-d
Kipling, it Is understood, was paid as
much as, 70 cents a word for some If
his stories, and it is currently reported
that there are newspaper reporters
in this world who pull down as high
as SIS a column. But Chicago boasts
Of two persons whose language is so
much more expensive than those men
toned that it would be a useless waste
of words to attempt even to draw a
comparison.
The story of two ''Yes's" is told by
the Chicago Record-Herald. One of
them, that paper says, was worth
100000, and the money has been col
lected; and the other. so it is claimed,
possesses an intrinsic value of $4,000,
and thereby hangs a tale which the
Record-Herald tells as follows:
''The momentous days on which
these two thrilling and expensive
''yeses" were uttered was Sept. %, a
d. 1908. On that day John R. Smith,
mine owner, lay dying in a ward Of
st. Luke's hospital. For seven years
Mr.. Smith had been engaged to Sarah

wound. ana he probed for 1t. IN few
moments he extracted a steel needle.
BY this time Francesca was losing
consciousness from the effects Of the
wound. and the surgeon, believing that
the needle had been poisoned before
being injected, used such antidotes as
he was acquainted with. For several
hours Francesca's life hung in the
balance; then slowly she began to
revive and in a few days was restored.
In the present case Pessero was
known to have been with his intended
victim at the time she was stricken,
and this, taken with the circumstances
of Sansovino's death, was strong evil
dence against him. Erancesca's father
had concealed the cause Of the death
of Sansovino and the suspicion that
rested on Pessero. DESTROYS Of getting
other evidence. he directed that the
murderer should be kept in ignorance
of what was known of his methods.
Pessero. who had stricken Francesca
in q moment Of passion and knew from
her greeting that the circumstances
connected with the two tragedies
would be sufficient to convict him,
fed.
Signor del Pronlbo no sooner learn
ed that his daughter was out Of dam
ger than he sought Pessero. Not find
ing him and learning that he had been
seen pulling in a boat for the main
land, Del Prombo followed, caught the
murderer and, single handed, brought
him back to Venice. Pessero was
thrown into prison and his home
searched. There in his workshop were
found a number of parts which to-
gether made up the implement used in
his crimes.
1t was a large key, In appearance
very simple. but really very complex.
The handle. being turned, exposed a
spring which, when pressed, sent from
the other end of the key a poisoned
needle Of such fineness that it entered
the flesh and buried itself there, leav-
ing no external trace.
There is a bridge in Venice called
the Bridge Of Signs" 1t spans a mar
row canal leading from a prison 20
the palace of the doges, where court
was beld. It is generally supposed
that in medieval times political pris-
oners passed over it for trial. 1t was.
however. q passage for common male
factors. Visitors in Venice may now
go from the palace over the bridge TO
the prison ard down into its dungeons.
In one Of these dungeons Pessero was
confined. He passed over the Bridge
of Signs" to his trial and, after his
conviction, passed back over the same
bridge to await his execution.
It is said that Francesca, whose life
he had turned from one of happiness
to a cloister existence and who had,
under the influence Of the sisters, been
turned to piety, wished to petition the
court to spare Pessero's life, but was
dissuaded from doing so by the mother
superior on the ground that the church
did not interfere with justice. Pessero
was hanged.
Francesca never left the convent in
which she had sought n retreat when
the world paled before her. After the
death of her father she inherited n for
tune, which she gave TO the poor.
The waters Of the Grand canal wash
the steps leading TO the palace Of her
family, but it is now occupied for
commercial purposes. The glory OF
Venice and her former home have van-
ished.

Models in Charity.

The Jewish charity organizations Of
New York have shown considerable
independence OF opinion by declining
a bequest of s1,0OO,OOO made depend
ent upon the condition that they
should form one large central organi-
cation controlling and managing the
collection and distribution of charity
funds for the various Jewish charita-
BILE institutions. Representatives II
the six principal organizations met
and after careful and serious cOnsid-
Grafton of the Capitalization plan sub
mitted TO them, rejected the same,
thus giving up their claim to the ST.
0GO, OCO, which the late Louis A. Helm
sheimer willed to a federation of the
six largest Jewish organizations. pro-
vided one should be formed within a
reasonable time. The plan of central
izing the Jewish charity work was
considered unfeasible and disadvau-
tageous to the various institutions.
It is a well known and acknowledged
fact that the Jews take excellent care
of their poor and that their charitable
institutions are models in their equip
ment and management. 1t was feared
that the Capitalization plan would in
terfere with the efficient management
of the institution. and rather than sac
rifce this efficiency the representa-
tives of the six institutions decided to
give up the million.

he devoted himself TO her. though
without encouragement Francesca
was berrothed to Luigi Sansovino, one
of her own rank and high in favor
with the doge. Designating this, Pes
sero persisted IN his attentions and
after IN acquaintance of a few weeks
made bold TO ask for Signorina del
Prombo's hand. 1t is needless to say
that his suit was rejected.
That was far different age from
this. While the people had attained a
certain refinement, they seemed still
TO retain the traits of their barba-
rian ancestors. 1t was not an uncom-
mon thing for 4 man rejected by n
woman TO revenge himself upon her.
PeSserO resolved that no one except
himself should possess Francesca.
But he bided his time. He heard Of
the preparations making FOR her we'd
ding with SansCvino, how the looms
were spinning fine fabrics for her
wedding gown and how the most deli
cate lace was being woven for her
adOrnment. He showed no sign of dis
satisfaction. He was engaged most OF
the day and ut times far into the night
in a little workshop that he had fitted
up in his home.
When the day for the wedding came
Pessero stood at the entrance to st.
Marks church, where the ceremony
was to take place, among a crowd Of
people eager to see the beautiful Fran
cesca del Prombo attired for the bri-
dial. The groom as he passed in saw
the face of the man who had aspired
to his place wearing the look Of
fiend. PesserO was on the inner edge
of the crowd, and the two men touch
ed as the procession passed. Sanso-
vino looked away and in another mo-
ment felt a sharp pain in his breast.
Before he had entered the body Of the
church he tainted. Horror stricken,
his bride bent over him. endeavoring
to recall him TO consciousness-au in
vain. In few minutes he was dead.
Francesca's quick eye had detected
the malevolent face Of Pessero in the
crowd, and she was seized with an IN
defnable dread. From the moment
her lover had sunk down on the mar
bic pavement she OWNED that he had
been stricken by the hand of her re
jected sutton. She was carried to the
canal, placed in her barge and rowed
to the family palace. AS soon as she
came out Of the frantic condition into
which she had been thrown by the
tragedy she cried:
He was killed by Pessero!'
'PeSserO!' exclaimed her father and
mother in n breath.
He WIS at the church. He rubbed
against Luigi as we passed. The fiend
killed him.

Peterson. Knowing that his end was
near and being DESTROYS that she
should possess his estate, he called
her to his bedside and asked her If
she would marry him. Miss Peterson
was about to reply that she would,
thereby wasting another valuable
'yes,' when it suddenly occurred 10
both of them that perhaps owing to
Mr.. Smiths condition the marriage
might not be legal
And right there is where Lawyer
Crews was called in and asked the
question. or words very much to the
same effect:
will it be a good and lawful mar
riage if the man in his present physi-
cal and mental strength marries this
woman?
Lawyer Crews advanced to the pa
tents beside He gazed long and
piercingly at the patients face. He
talked earnestly with the nurses. He
satisfied himself that the dying mine
owner was of sound mind and under
standing and then he stepped forward
and delivered himself of the follow
ing, to-wit:
Yes"
That word did not flow from Law
yer Crews lips. it was minted.
Immediately afteTward a clergyman
was called in and in the course of the
subsequent proceedings propounded to
Miss Peterson the question: Do you
take this man to be your husband"
And to that question Miss Peterson
also answered Yes
Two hours later Mr. Smith died
In the course of the ensuing months
Mrs. Smith was declared by the courts
his lawful widow and was put into
possession of his estate, valued at
$500, COO
1T was Lawyer Crews who attended
to the legal details of the probating Of
Smiths estate, and while he was doing
so this question suddenly presented
itself TO his mind:
1T was l, was it not, who ted Mrs.
Smith to say 'Yes?' Answer: Yes.
Well, if the Yes that l told Mrs.
Smith-then Miss Peterson-to say
was worth $500, 600. how much was the
Yes worth that l said myself?
And to this problem Mr.. Crews
quick legal mind made the lightning
reply:
Let us say about $4,000
"A few days later Mrs. Smith got a
bill for the $50, 900. and & few days
still later Lawyer Crews was informed
that Mrs. Smith had no intention If
paying him that sum. The result was
that Lawyer Crews sued Mrs. Smith
and yesterday the case of two 'Yes's
came on for trial in the court of
Judge Pinckney."

The Tribune'S Poll.

1t wasn't necessary, the Springfield
Register says, that the Chicago Tri-
bune take a poll of republican editors
to determine their position relative TO
Cannon and the Aldrich tariff The
drift Of opinion has been unmistaka-
BILE without resort to STRAW votes"
But the figures shown are interesting
and significant nevertheless. The poll
Of the republican and independent edi-
tors of west of the Allegnanies shows
very decided opposition to the reelec-
tion of Cannon as speaker and similar
opposition to the Aldrich tariff.
The vote on Cannon follows:
Republicans. Independents. Total
For Against For Aginst. For. Against.
$50 1858 81 541 577 1874
They also are opposed to the Aid
rich-Cannon tariff bill This is the
vote:
Republicans. Independents. Total
For. Against. For. Aginst. For Against.
312 2.6S6 27 577 $50 3,463
In Illinois the vote on Cannon was
81 for and 1919 against among repub-
lican editors, while with only one ex-
ception the 81 Independent editors
who replied were against Uncle joe
This made a grand total of So for and
232 against Cannon for reelection.
The total vote on the Aldrich tariff
among Illinois republicans and indie
pendent editors was 90 for and 261
against.
And why are these republicans
against Cannon and the tariff?
They appreciate the fact that these
have forced the people beyond their
high tariff endurance. They appreci-
ate the justice OF the position which
the democratic party long since as
sumed. They know that to continue
this robber tariff and oligarchicaI pol
icy will wipe the republican party out
of existence now that the people have
finally become fully aroused from one
end Of the land TO the other over the
outrages perpetrated upon them in the
name of prosperity"
The stampede in the republican
party has been caused by the well de-
fined fear that already they have gone
too far, and that overwhelming defeat
awaits the party of Taft, of Payne, OF
Cannon and of Aldrich at the polls.
