was free TO veto these measures. Each
successive election say his ~organiza-
ton. both ia bis party and in the city
government, become stronger.
Nor were Bob,s political activities
confined to the Steel City. Murcheil.
although be amazed his friends and
physicians by the tenacity with which
he held on to life. grew steadily weak
er. Under his guidance Bob and Dun
meade together fought against the
railroad steel interests. with whom the
open break had ut last come. Ii was a
tremendous struggle that stirred the
commonwealth 10 its u%tternaost limits.
Bobss part 10 the state campaign took
him often to the capital, where he was
received frankly into the beautiful
home life OF the governors family.
Sometimes he found himself alone
with Mrs. Danmeade. From her he
received his only news of Eleanor Gill
bert during oil those long months.
"you have Mrs. GiIbert's address,
he asked abruptly one evening when.
after a long conference, they had in
, duced him I remain overnight at the
capital.

why he himself should not write.
This was just before the famous
.gas franchise n~Uhleh-haail
gave Bobss enemies into his hands
The Steel City's homes were dependent
for beat upon natural gas. supplied by
a Company operating under an exciu
sire franchise from the city. This
franchise provided for an extortionate
maximum charge, the enforcement OF
which had worked great hardship or
the consumers But when the McAdoC
administration was a year old the
monopoiy's rights had almost expired
and In extension under the old terms
was demanded by the gas company.
Bob Immediately Ia a public message
declared that be would oppose the ex-
tension unless 1t provided for a rea-
sonable rate to the consumer. Els
message was hailed with huzzas by
the long suffering public.
MACPHERSON led the ught for the or
dinance. His genius for corruption.
never SO shamefully brilliant. was CIV
en- free play. The measure passed
both houses of councils.
When 1t was presented to Bob for
approval he vetoed it with q clear ex.
PLANTATION of his reasons for SO doing.
The bill was reintroduced into coun-
ellis in the hope of securing the two,
thirds majority necessary 10 pass ii
over the mayors veto.

The councflmen found themselves be-
tween two hot nres. On the oEs hand
was MACPHERSON, and the mayor saw
more than one supposedly stanch foi-
lower cnught In his enemy's net. On
the other hand was Bob-with the peo-
pie awakened TO a fury of indignation.
The tale is told that during the night
and day preceding the final reading OF
the ordinance MACPHERSON kept hia
eounciimen secretly locked together In
mn obscure hotel. away from the tn
huence OF the crowds. On the hour Of
the conncirs meeting they were quiet

When they reached the council

space In the spectators gallery was
packed by indignant citizens. Over
the gallery significant factI hung
ropes, each with a moose tied at it,

could not stay the panic In his crea-
lures hearts. He was q bold man. in,

nance that night.
And int the chamber they saw Bot

Coed
form


Popular, but Bad Form.
Many girls are bad form" without
suspecting it. Here are a few things,
little considered, that are popular, but
not In good taste. /,
1 Inquisitiveness. Have you never
pried into personal affairs by ques.
tions7
Boisterous. Noisy fun, especially In
public, is common in both sense OF
the word. A girl can have a good time
without laughing and talking at high
pitch.
Practical joking. What seems pure
wit to the perpetrator, to the victim IL
stupid h~orseplay or downright malice.
Intrusion. Some girls have no re-
spect for privacy. They burst into a
closed room without knocking, offer
their society unasked aud viii inter-
rupt the most earnest conversation
without a perfunctory II beg your par
dom
Disloyalty. 1t is Ill bred IL nothing
else to run down those to whom YOU
owe fealty or to betray a friends con-
fdenee. Even worse is 1t to discuss
family affairs with outsiders.
Blekerfng. Girls may not mean any
thing when they argue before q third
person, but the listener Is just as I'M
comfortable as though the d~isputants
| were at daggers drawn. Especially
poor taste is 1t for a to argue with
her fance or husband in public.
Bragglng. What If you are a belle,
have hosts OF snitors and trunks full
of fine clothes? The girl of good taste
allows the world to discover her popu-
larity and food fortune. She does not
thrust them upon IT.
Slang. There is a big reaction In ia
Eor OF the girl who can enjoy life TO
the full. yet keep her respect for good
English.
Sponging. Some girls have the mo-
ton that the world owes them a good
| time, and they snatch pleasure at the
expense of their friends with no
| thought Of return. The girl who is al
ways out OF change, who proposes
| gayeties for which others pay, who ac-
cepts favors and is churlish about ia
voring is worse than bad form; she
Is almost dishonest.
Fibbing. Truth is right. likewise
/ we'll bred. The girl whose word Is
worthless, who wriggles out of every
/ uncomfortable situation, who tells you
one thing aud her next confidant an
| other. Is bad style.

Rules Governinq Invitations.


Invitations for a ma should be adj

REFORMS IN POLICE TORTURE
WANTED BY ENGLISH.

London, May q Now that it has
been officially admitted in Parliament
chat cases of police torture do ac-
tually occur in India, critics OF the
administration there are becoming
so vehement in their demands for
reform that the English government
is growing seriously embarrassed.
1t was hoped by the government
leaders that their admission and
promises of improvement would set
tie the commotion. The humani-
tarians insist however, on knowing
just what is being done and no"
long the government is going to be
about doing it.
The admissions covered the death
Of five persons recently in various
parts of India, as a result of torture
by the police, and the fact that
minor torture" as a result of the
committal of suspects to the private
custody of the police, is general.
The scandal threatens to result in
a full investigation, which may have
unpleasant results for those respon-
sible for the system.

WORLDWIDE STRIKE
OF SEAMEN

New York, May This is the
date understood to have been agreed
upon for the inauguration of the in.
ternational strike of seamen, for
almost year. New York shipping
interests are waiting with an inter-
est that is not unmixed with anxiety
to see if the threatened strike mater
ializes and Ii SO to what extent it is
likely to spread.
The strike is to be against the
Shipping Federation, Limited, which
has its headquarters in London. The
Federation. as originally organized
was confined to vessel owners in
Great Britain, but within the past
few years it has included most OF
the shop owners in European coun.
tries.
The main grievance OF the seamen
is so-called welfare plan" adopted
by the Shipping Federation, which
the sailors assert amounts virtually
to a system of slavery. Every sea.
man shipping on a vessel is requir
ed to carry discharge book
and the union men claim it amounts
to blacklist and that it is used BY
vessel owners to break up the labo,
organization.
The International Seamen's Unio1
OF America is In receipt Of advice,
from the European branches of tn,
organization declaring that ever.
seaman engaged in merchant marin,
traffic in Great Britain. France. Ger
many, Denmark, Norway. Swedel
and Finland is to quit work as soo1
as the order to strike il issued. TIL,
British continent embraces abou
100000 men, and the member in al
the other European countries is es
timated at about $4,000.
1t is said that more than 10000
deep water sailors engaged in the At
lantic coastwise trade of Americ;
will quit work. The strike, how
ever, is not expected to affect traffi
on the Pacific Ocean or on the Grea
Lakes.
