John rose to the call upon his manhood;
and, grasping his love in his powerful
arms, he bore her aft to the cabin,
never attempting to speak to her until
they were below and he had seen her

ordered the two women to dress them

a few biscuits about them. 1t was all

road TO real unhappiness.
Occasionally a man will consult a
fortune teller, though as. a rule men
leave such ''foolishness, as they
style it, TO their more credulous wo-
menfolk. But when a man does get
as far as to place himself under the
magnetic eye of one who claims to
have mystic powers, he is even more
cIedulous than a woman.
A recent divorce case is an exam
Pile The man had been told by for
tune teller TO beware of his wife.
Previously he had been on excellent
terms with his wife, but he immedi-
ately began to suspect her of fell de-
signs. Therefore he went home and
abused her. Further consultations
with the fortune teller increased his
distrust, and he made his wife so mis-
cradle that she finally was forced in
to the divorce court. The judge was
a wise man and sent the couple home
after a good lecture to the husband
on the general run Of fortune tell
ers.
How far credulity will go is shown
by the large following of a woman
magnetic healer who claimed to
cure cancers. She declared that she
could hear the cancers walking
around" in the body.
These cancer takers abound in ev-
cry city. Some have so wide fame
/ that people from other cities come to

/ When the greatest doctors in the
world admit that a cancer cure has
not yet been found, It seems ridicu'
lous that so many will believe the
claims of these quacks, who, simply
because they invest themselves with
mystery, get many besides the merely
ignorant to follow them.

Justice Cookies Reelection

his standing among his colleagues is
of the highest. Justice Cooke was
entitled to reelection on his record
alone regardless of the principles in
volved, and the people of his district
are to be congratulated upon their
action in rejecting him.
Our supreme court as at present
constituted consists of five republi-
cans and two democrats. Had JUS
tice Cooke been defeated there would
have been six republicans and one
democrat. While il may truthfully
be stated that the members of the
supreme court have not allowed
party affiliations TO influence their
decisions, it is far better from a prac-
teal view that the personnel of such
a body should not be unduly overbal-
anced toward either party. The Sc
lection of Justice Cooke is there
fore TO be commended both on
grounds of reason and justice.

THE TYRANNY OF FEAR.

Despairing Of finding in this country
place he would not be hunted
out OF, John r. Early, alleged leper,
has found q permanent refuge at Port
Townsend quarantine station and there
under salary, will attend lepers for the
government.
-Four years ago Early, then recent
ly discharged federal soldier, went
from North Carolina to Washington TO
press a claim for a pension on account
OF malaria contracted in the govern
ments service. A physician upon
whom he called pronounced him a
leper, and since that time Early has
been treated like any pariah, being
driven from place to place, denied
peace, and finally forced to become
soon in fact what he is today in name
In a discussion of Early's case the

People go right on consulting for
tune tellers, and all who make mys-
terry their profession, in spite of the
warnings of their common sense and
everything that has been said and
written in exposure of these people
who prey upon the superstitious
credulity of humanity.
Occasionally a fortune teller acts
toward the keeping of the family
peace. These rake in the half-dollar
or dollar fees and do no harm. They
romance little for their clients and
occasionally give wholesome advice.
Many reap quite nice little income
from regular clients, in just this way,
But the fortune teller can easily
become a mischief maker and a very
serious one. A suspicious wife (and
