And facing the horror of the galows, she writes:

is so good and kind to me-"
You might think that Bessie is happy. And 80
she Is in a way. For happiness is relative thing
Compared to the 'home" SHE has known, and the
people with whom her lot in life has been cast, she
finds this grim prison peasant-pleasant even in the
face of death.
Before Bessie came from the county jail at
New Haven she said to Mrs. Basserman, the matron
'The months have spent here have
been the happest Of my life. Because here
people have been kind to me-"
And yet Bessie sits her cot, hour after hour
sobbing bitterly, and lies crying through the long
hours Of the night.
Why?
BECAUSE OF HER CHILDREN.

the progressive camp, but that they
never will go into the republican
camp.
There can't be anything in going
backward" declared A. L. Garford, bull
moose candidate for governor of Ohio
last year. in referring to the recon
citation proposed by Mr.. Hanna. 1t
would be going backwards to return
to the standpat principles of the old
republican party.
Republicans since election have
been stealing bull moose thunder in
advocating many of the things con-
tanned in the progressive platform and
advocated by US during the campaign
last fall We can but invite those
who really believe in progressive prin'
! ciples to Join us in our fight. We Ger.
/ tainly can't go back in the old methods
and retain our self-respect."
Walter Brown. progressive state
chairman, is quite as determined in
/ his attitude against returning to the
republicans as is Mr.. Garford. He
! SCOTS at Hanna's back to mamma
movements.
James 4. Garfield, another progress
! sive leader of the state, also declares
/ THAI the bull moose never will return
to the G. o. P. fold.

Cleveland, May 15.-Dan r. Hanna,
newspaper man of Cleveland and son
Of the late Senator Mark Hanna, wants
to get back into the republican fold.
He left it last year to join the bull
moose ranks. He was one of the heav-
lest contributors to the progressive
cause during the last campaign, and
through his newspapers here pro-
claimed that the republican party had
committed suicide. Now he not only
is anxious to return to the corpse"
but is doing everything he can to take
the bull moose party with him.
When Hanna left the republican
party last year, President Taft de-
clared that he had done so because the
federal government had prosecuted
him under the Sherman antitrust law.
Hanna said that wasn't the reason at
all that he joined the progressives
. because they were the party of up
| lift Now he declares that he finds
very little difference between the two
parties and sees no reason why they
should not amalgamate.
The other bull moose leaders of the
state declare there is no possibility OF
an amalgamation such as Mr.. Hanna
proposes They say they have no OBJ
! jections to the republicans coming into

which strengthen the walls Of the

The stomach must digest your food
