"The Broken Vows" Rejected by the
girl he loves, young man tours the
world. Coming upon monastery he
tarries for while and tells the young
monk of the outer world. The latter,
fired with ambition, leaves the mon
astery and achieves success in the big
city, meeting the girl and marrying
her. The traveller returns and in a
sensational scene denounces the
monk, and the girl learns for the
first time of his broken vows. In a
terrific conflict of emotion she prays
for guidance, and commands him to
go back to the monastery. A pathetic
pa:ting takes place, and the final
scenes show her, four years later with
her baby girl saying her evening pray
ers and the monk praying to heaven
in his cell, his face illumned by the
soft moonbeams falling through the
tiny window.

TO LOSE NO CONGREssMEn
General Belief at Madison Is That
No Reduction in Wisconsin's Rep
reservation Is Probable.

Madison.-The impression about
the capitol is that if the membership
of the lower house of congress is left
the same as at present that Wiscon-
sin will retain it's membership Of
eleven congressman.
Secretary of State Frear said that
his understanding was in case the
membership of the house was left as
at present that there would be no
change in Wisconsin, that we would
still have eleven members in "en-
gress. However, he said he had no
figures on which to make any definite
statements.
DR.. Charles Mccarthy of the legis-
lative reference library said that Wis
consin would not lose any members
providing the membership of the
house was kept as now. Wisconsin,
he said, was one of the states that
gained in population, and therefore
there was little chance that it would
lose any members.
