Dear Mrs. thompson am IS years
old. I have been keeping company
for three months with q young man
who is all that could be desired in
every way, but do not love him. He
SAYS he cares for no one but me, and
think it is true. as he does everything
he can to make 1t pleasant for me. l
have met another young man whom I
could love, but he has not made any
advances. Here is the situation: The
young man with whom I am keeping
company lives in the country. My
folks have told me they want me TO go
with a man can love, but they want
him to live in the country, and they
like this particular man very much.
Please tell me what 70 do.
FOR-GET-ME-NOT.
Let Us look at the negative side Of
this case. With no effort on your part.
the love of a good man has been given
to you. We will suppose that you give
him up. You will see him, in time, en-
thralled by another girls charms. She
will have the impression that she has
won a priceless treasure. 1t will be
hard for you TO make her believe that
you considered him only of ordinary
value. She will triumph over you. Per
laps If you knew how glad some other
girl would be TO get the treasure you

A Broken Treaty.

The newspapers Of the country, al
most with one accord. are protesting
against the repeated violations Of Rus
STA of it's treaty with the United States
The Argus recently contained com
prehensive statemen. Of the situation
from the standpoint Of the American
Jewish committee 0; New York.
Under this treaty, executed in 1892
and which II is now sought TO have ab-
rcgaJed, each Of the two contracting
rowers guarantees to extend 10 all cit
liens of either nation the liberty Of
Offering the territories of the respect
i've countries and CT sojOurning and
residing therein.
The United States mas faithfully OBJ
served its part OF his international
contract The Russian empire never
has lived up TO its share OF the bar
gain. Instead il repe atedly and ruth
lsssIy has violated d treaty which II
bound itself to observe.
In Russia a British passport is a
passport IN the real sense Of the word,
for Russia has sad memories not only
IF the Crimean war, but Of England's
81 astic action in the more recent days
when the Russians were planning TO
enter Constantinople. The Berlin
treaty, fatheTed by Great Britain, was
d bitter dose for Russia, but Russia
had 10 swallow it. And the Russian
car knows full we'll that the British
lion is a bad animal to monkey with"
It was an English Jew, the great Dis
-aeH. that forced Russia to accept the
Berlin treaty. Perhaps that is one OF
the reasons why Russia does not like
misses few opportunities TO vent its
spleen on the Jews Of other nations.
In the hands Of American citizens Of
other religions an American passport
is worth little in Russia. IN the hands
O. American citizens of Jewish faith,
ST American passport. in Russia, is
worth nothing at all
Indeed, Il is worth less than nothing.
Ter. in countless instances, its present
9 lion has been followed by insult and
by deportation, and. in many cases. by
Imprisonment and the knout.
Our Jewish citizens are among the
hest that we have. and the United
States owes it as 4 duty not only TO
them but TO itself 10 see to II that they
are given the fullest possible protec-
ton OF our flag in every land on earth.
The United States is in honor bound
TO make Russia feel that a treaty with
this nation must be held as inviolate
as one with any European power.

Russia awakens TO the fact that, if
necessary. the talonS of the American
eagle are fully as dangerous as the
claws of the British lion.
And a pretty good wav to start driv-

hypocrisy? r. B. H.
True civility is never hypocrisy.

and hypocrisy are not identical. They
are opposites. Do not confound them.

Buy fresh, powdered sulphur and put

enough pure alcohol to cover It. After
bathing, pour this mixture into the
palm of the hand and rub the body
with it br!skly. The alcohol evapor-
ates quickly and enough of the sulphur
should be absorbed through the pores
of the skin to have a decided bleaching
effect on the whole body. AS to the
Odor, if the bath and rub are taken at
night, it should not be unpleasant the
next day.

 Private Detective
Especial from United Press.>

Especial from United Press.)
 Middletown, Conn.,, Oct. 1.-The four men charged with wrecking a New Haven road express at Maromas, Aug. 27, causing the death of one passen- ger, were discharged in police court, today Judge Pearne, in a lengthy decision. stated in effect that the case against the quartet presented by pri- vate detectives was a frame-up. It was the judges opinion, however, that the train had really been wrecked. The names of the discharged suspects are Alphonse Cecchini, Giacomo Lissi. Antonio Di Orio and Antonio Di Ste fano.
 The trial of these men lasted 10 days and was featured by the tes- timony of Albano iAlessio, stool pig con, who said he secured an admis- sion from Lissi that they had wreck ed the train. The trials close was featured by Prosecuting Attorney Car sons sensational admission that the states case was weak and that he did not believe Alessio's story. It took the judge a week to arrive at a decision and during this time the men were kept in jail without bail On a murder charge.
 The New Haven road has standing offer of S2,500 reward for the capture of the train wreckers Superintendent Woodward, of the road, who was on the scene of the wreck a few hours after the train was deraned, is respon- sible for the train wreckers theory. While the coroner and Judge Pearne have supported him half-heartedly the people in this vicinity and not a few trainmen, the latter privately, believe that the wreck was caused by the speed and heavy equipment of the ex- press on a track too lightly ballasted and weakened by heavy trains.
