 He got up and caught the kitten and literally threw her among the flowers and then came and sat down beside Madame.

 The man inclined his head and said nothing.
 ''But if Bubbles comes over to YOU, why, Mon Deu, I'll marry yon and never cry out against my Fate

 Just then the kitten playfully leaped on the divan-just between the two of them.
 ''WelI, 1" La Princesse exclaimed sswhat a joke on Fate Bubbles came neither to you nor 10 me-but BETWEEN us What does that mean?"
 "This," said the man kissing her, and Madame's s scheme had worked wonder fully.

 Here the Little Manicure Girl settled herself more comfortably and began to pol ish vigorously the nails of Monsieur, which by this time had reached that necessity in the regime of her art.
 "Gne day La Princesse became very ir- ritable," she continued. Great splotches, dark and livid appeared upon her face; her skin lagan to look parched and crisp. What to do about 1t was puzzle, until Florizelle, wonderful woman that she was, suggested a remedy.

is an evidence of total depravity. To

VERY TRUE.

Boys are not allowed to run loco
motives on railroads, even with
block signals and other safeguards
to protect the lives of passengers.
But any boy who wants to borrow"
. powerful motor car and race over
the highways at railroad speed,
regardless of safety or sobriety, can
do SO at pleasure. Evidence OF the
truth of the foregoing can be Sc
cured on West Broadway and other

DIDN'T HAPPEN.

One establishment has resulted
out Of the campaign ust closed: The
hierarchy of the Roman Catholic
church did not swing the Catholic
vote 10 Mr.. Taft-"as advertised. "
"As advertised" OF course by the
journals Of Bugabooville and the
ministers of Goblintown, and ac-
credited by many prosy, WOODY,
mossback persons who live, not In
the fear Of God, but in the fear OF
the Pope. OF course the hierarchy
didn't try to work this smooth
game; but you can't convince the
WOODY people about that. The fact
that the game wasn't worked is suffi-
Client for Lesson One. The election
returns make that plain. Now II the
Catholics were ordered by their
prelates 10 vote for Taft, and didn't
do It, in fact refused to do so and
preferred 20 vote for the son of
minister. isn't that
great relief to harried mindsl II
proves that we are IN no danger
from the Pope--either the wires do
not work or there are no wiros.--
