graft and direct theft have been

been II career Of graft that has
been real theft. That state has
been robbed of half Il million in its

Governor Brewer is u man who
absolutely refuses to condone theft
or TO conceal graft Men of high
standing robbed the state. The
usual pleas of good family" high
connections and all that have been
used in vain with him. He has
announced that theft is theft and
thase who commit it shall be eX,
possed. He is pressing his rascals
$" closely tnat they are confessing,
aud men of high degree will be

for men pressed by poverty to

Not Far From the Truth.

Mrs. Knoall was greatly puzzled
and not without reason. The fact is,
she happened to peet Mr.. Newlywed
one morning as he was rushing TO
catch his train, and ventured. with
her usual solicitude for other folks
affairs. to hope that Mrs. Newlywed
wasn't having trouble with her ser
wants.
"Oh, mol" said Mr.. Newlywed.
"we've got three!"
Then he dashed of. leaving Mrs.
Knoall gasping. Three servants, in
deed! Why. it was common knowl-
edge In Suburbville that the Newly
weds were anything but rich. How
on earth, then. could they AFFORD 10
keep three servants? Mrs. Knoall felt
forced to call on the bride that after
noon to make investigations.
On his return home in the evening
Mr. Newlywed was greeted with this
question:
John, whatever made you tell Mrs
Knoall this morning that We keer
three servants?"
John smiled.
well. don't we, my dear? he
asked. 1T seems to me that we al
ways have one going. one coming and
