When Romanist theologians admit
that priests do make use of the con-

about time that ROmanist laymen-
fathers, husbands, brothers-with-

= George A. Newett, news
paper editor of Marquette, Mich,
that there was nothing to the stories
of the COlOnePs bibulous habits.
The Savannah News summed the
matter up thus, in it's Sunday issue:
Colonel Roosevelt's Statement to the
Court.
Marquette, Mich, May 81.
your Honor, in view of the state
ment of the defendant, 1 ask the
court to instruct the jury that l de-
sire only nominal damages. l did
not go in this case for money; l did
not go into it for any vindictive pur-
pose. l went into it, and, as the
court said, 1 made my reputation an
issue, because I wished once for all
during my lifetime, thoroughly and
comprehensively to deal with these
ISLANDERS so that never again will it
be possible for any man in good
faith to repeat them. I have
achieved my purpose and | am con-
tent"
Col. Theodore Roosevelt today
won his libel suit against George A.
Newett, who charged the colonel
with drunkenness, and, having
waived damages after the defendant
had uttered a retraction, the jury
awarded the nominal damages of
six cents provided in such cases by
the laws of Michigan. Each party to
the suit will have to pay his own ex-
penses
Judge Flanagan instructed the
jury to bring in a verdict for the
plaintiff, which they did without
leaving their seats. The colonel left
for Chicago and the East at $50
O'Clock this evening, less than two
hours after the conclusion of the
case.
When the afternoon session began
the air was electrical with expec-
fancy. Rumors were flying that the
suit would be terminated. Attorney
Van Benschoten, for the plaintiff,
however, resumed the reading of
dispositions. 1t was noticed, how
ever, that he ignored the testimony
of some witnesses. The next move
was sudden.
1.-THE plaintiff rests,' remarked
the attorney, James HI. Pound, in
matter of fact manner.
William P. Belden, of Ishpeming,
who, with Horace Andrews, of
Cleveland, was Mr.. Newetts attor-
ney, said
''The defense will call Mr.. New
ett. A rudy checked man whose
color did not disguise the fact that
he is suffering from a seriousness
illness, took the chair. In his hand
he carried a manuscript. When the
defendant began reading Col. Roose-
welt moved to the edge of his chair,
and betrayed an excitement which
his rigid jaws could not hide. Mr..
Newett was we'll along in his reading
before the colonel, whose position
seemed like that of man about to
leap forward, lost the tense look on
his face.
cit is fair to the plaintiff to state
that | have been unable to find in
any section of the country any in
dividual witness who is willing to
state that he has personally seen Mr..
Roosevelt drink to excess
At this the plaintiff smiled and re-
Taxed. The colonel broke into grin
again when Mr.. hewitt said, with
reference to the mass of testimony
adduced by the plaintiff 81 am
forced to the conclusion that was
mistaken"
Leaving the stand, Mr.. Newett
looked in the direction of Col. Roose-
welt, but the latter was whispering
to his counsel. Attorney Pound then
said
with the courts permission the

some mistake? Gradually his feelings
so far subsidized as to permit him to ex-
ercise common sense. What did com
mon sense dictate as the first thing to
do? Why, to go to his wife and hear
her story
1t was 8 o'clock when he again open
ed his front door and stepped into the
house.
els that you, dear?" came his Wife's
voice from upstairs. why are you so
late? You telegraphed you would be
home to dinner"
Janeway did not deign any reply to
these remarks. He was trying to make
up his mind to the disagreeable work
before him. He staggered into the liy-
ing room and. throwing himself into
an easy chair, covered his face with his
hands. Hearing a step in the hal he
withdrew them and saw his wife
standing in the doorway gazing at him
with a frightened look.
Frank she said What under
heaven is the matter?"
There was q ring at the telephone,
She paid no attention to it, but, ad-
vancing, kneeied beside him and took
his hand.
Answer the phone, he said, in or
der to gain time.
Going to the instrument she took
down the receiver. Then she said to
her husband:
Its the chief of police He says a
man has been brought in with arti-
cles on him with our name on them"
JaneWay jumped from his chair as
though raised by an electric shock.
Rushing to the phone he snatched the
receiver from his wife and called for

/ When he had heard he took her in his
arms and Rugged her till she cried out,
"What does it all meanT' she asked.
EI came home at 5 o'clock and found
the thief here"
"When I was out? Why did you let
him go?"
''He told nae cock and bull story"
''What story|

dead and he was the undertaken come

''What assurance! Now 1 under

IS EVERYTHING VEL WETH Us?

is EVERYTHING WELL WITH US?
There are no more sick babies to be
tended
There are no more weary mothers
to be relieved
In the houses of the poor little chill
dren no longer lift their thin hands for
food
The factories hold no more child toll
ers, with backs wearied by constant
bending and hands cramped with work
and eyes blinded with flying dust and
minds stunted by lack of opportunity
There are no more poor boys to be
taught.
Through the dark night streets of
the city and along the miscaned "great
white ways" walk no young girls,
doomed to lives OF indescribable sad
ness.
There is no more miseryi
Throughout the world all is light
ness and gayety and happiness.
So q woman of Massachusetts, has
built house for her twelve Pomer-
anian dogs!
Listen to the description of the house
Is it not finer than the kennels of many
of our poor?
'Twelve Pomeranians, each with @
whole room to himself, in a house
which they have to themselves, take
the prize for dog luxury. The dogs
have q valet. electric lights, individual
beds, bath twice q day, back yard

No, you need not rub your eyes and

It is a palace for DOGS. And a
WOMAN built it!
In the city in which this woman
lives there are great factories of vari-
| Gus kinds. There are slums. There are
sordid homes Of working people. The
dog lover need travel only a very short
distance from her own luxurious home
to find distress and poverty.
! There is love in her heart. But it is
misdirected love.
The valet who washes these dogs
might be employed in taking out sick
children-no doubt he would prefer to
do SO, for in the wageworker there is
sympathy for the poor.
Perhaps his mistress would shrink
from the thought What, her own ser
want come in close contact with the
poor!
Surely she may read in her Bible
how the gentle Saviour washed the
feet of his apostles.
When the woman of our story en-
ters her dogs house no doubt she is
! greeted by a chorus of banks that tell
her of their appreciation of her care

But outside the children of the poor

Janeway's business called him often
away from home. One afternoon he
returned from one OF these trips glad
to get back and, opening the door with
his latchkey, went upstairs. In the
upper hall he found himself face to
face with man he had never seen.
He was well dressed, and JaneWay, in
stead Of taking him for d burglar and
supposing there might be some mis-
take about his being there, awaited an
explanation.

looks bad for your wife, but any man
who will leave his wife at home for
weeks, sometimes months at a time,
deserves
what do you mean, sir? Why are
you in my house?'
t'Come! Maintain your equanimity.
Consider that by making a scandal
you will injure not only yourself, but
will ruin your wife's reputation"
JaneWay was too paralyZed to speak.
He simply glared at the man, who con
tinUed:
''Take your revenge ON me, not on
her. I will meet you at any time or
place you wish and enable you to in
fict vengeance upon me to your hearts
content. ! will give you an Oppor-
tunity to Go by me as, 1 confess,
would do by you under reversed sim
Aar circumstances. But the real cause
of our quarrel need not be known.
We can invent some pretext."
"Where is my wife," Numbered
Janeway.
For heavens sake keep away from
her, at least for awhile! In your pres
ent state OF mind you are liable to com
nit murder
Janeway hesitated A fiery furnace
was within him. He knew the man
spoke the truth. 1t was all he could
do to avoid clinching with him.
If he had had q weapon he w@uld
have killed him. But one idea took
possession of him-to get away, some

himself from q temptation that would
