Frances, charmed with the general

air of conqueror. She was gracious.

look, and stayed to buy.
At the end Of the day her employer
was radiant. His name was Boyd
Henry Boyd. He had been at the point
of failure and he believed that she
had brought him success.
Look here" was his proposition,
"why can't you stay? You don't look
as If you belonged here and l cannot
see why you are doing 1t, but you are
the one thing that, for years, have
been looking for"
Later Frances ran over to tell the
doctor about. He looked out the win

right" he said. II have known him
for long time, and he is as straight
as possible. You couldn't do better"
So it came about that Frances built
up a business that exceeded anything

Frances laughed little. "You see,'

His FatefuI MESSAGE.

She was the fairest of the fair. Her
cheeks glowed with the blush Of hap
piness, her eyes flashed with the CLEAN
of joy, she tossed her head merrily at
the gay remarks Of those who spoke
to her.
Not care, not cloud, seemed to
be In her life.
Plucking her arm nervously, he
bent toward her and hissed a few
words in her ear.
Immediately she became nervous,
distrait, self-conscious.
What did he say to her? Were his
words bitter ones? Were they the
words that rise from jealous heart?
All, no. He merely told her that

ACT STANDS ALONE
Signed by Lincoln Ten Days
After Adjournment.
Wartime Law Which Has Been the
Basis Of 1900 Suits and Whose
Validity <-Never Has Been
Drawn In Question.

Ever hear Of a bill passed by con-
gress being signed by the president
ten days after the adjournment Of
congress and thereby becoming q
law" queried F. M. Harvey, a lawyer
of Darke county. Ohio. to q group Of
members.
= "The question has often been moot
ed, in case bill is presented to the
president within the last ten days Of
a session of congress, so that he can
not have the full ten days allowed by
Article 1, Section of the Constitu-
ton in which to approve or to return
1t to that house in which 1t originated.
whether or not he may approve 1t
after the adjournment or expiration
of the congress, SO as to give effect to
1t as valid law.
"The uniform practice has been,
from the first organization Of the gov
ernment, for the president not to ap-
prove after the adjournment Of con-
gress any bills which he omitted to
approve during the session, with the
single exception of the act Of March
IL, 1863, entitled An act to provide
for the collection Of abandoned prop
erty, and for the prevention OF frauds
in insurrectionary districts within the
United States.' commonly called the
abandoned or captured property act
That act was passed during the
very last days Of the thirty-seventh
congress-by the senate on March 2.
and by the house on March 3. 1863.
That congress expired by constitu.
tional limitation on March 4, 1863, and
the bill was not signed until March
IL, 1863, eight days after congress had
adjourned sine die.
"The parchment roll in the state
department shows that President Lin
coin, in affixing his name to it, wrote
with his own hand, Approved March
l2, 1862" 80 that there cannot be any
doubt as to the correct date Of ap-
proval. 1t was President Lincoln's
custom to write, himself, the date Of
approval in all cases. and not leave
that duty to clerk.
"The validity of the act thus passed
was never drawn In question. The
executive departments proceeded to
act under its authority Immediately
after its approval, and continued to
act under 1t SO long as 1t was on the
statute book without objection from
any quarter as to their right to do so.
The court of claims took Jurisdiction
of cases brought under section OF
the act, and the United States Su-
preme court also took jurisdiction of
appeals in those cases, and acted
upon them as brought under valid
law.
Congress itself recognized its
validity by amending 1t and extend
ing its provisions in the third section
of the act of July l., 1854, and BY
reference thereto in sections 1859
and 1889 of the Revised Statutes.
The judgments Of the court Of
claims In favor of claimants under
the act were always paid by the
treasury department without Ques.
tion.
Nearly 1000 suits against the
government under this act were
brought in the court Of claims: more
than 500 were decided in favor Of the
claimants, and nearly $10,000.000 was
paid out by the treasury department
in satisfaction of such judgments."-

PRINCIPLE OF ARBITRATION
Victory Won In the Michigan Courts
Which Will Interest Grange In.
surance Companies.

The Patrons Mutual Fire Insur
ance Company of Lansing. Mich. has
recently won a. victory In the courts
which will have interest for grange
insurance companies in other states.
1t appears that the arbitration fea
ture of the Patrons Insurance pol.
icy was challenged. The attorney
general of the state held that the
grange insurance organization did not
have the right to compel policyhold
ers to submit to arbitration their diff
ference with the company relative to
settlement OF losses He held that
the arbitration feature was In contra
vention of the statutes and prevented
the adjustment in court of points at
issue between the company and pol.
icy holders. The company applied
for writ to compel the attorney gen.
eral to approve of the policy form
and the court has granted 1t. stating
that the agreement in the policy is
voluntary one and declaring: "The
doctrine is well established in the
state that members of voluntary
society may set up a tribunal to ad.
judicate the differences that arise
between the association and its decis.
ion final In the absence of bad faith
or refusal to act or pay after an ad.
judicaton has taken place" The
case has excited considerable inter.
est in insurance and grange circles.
