defects for which 1t was assalled

months ago. The measure has been
wholly rewritten, and 1t now bears all
the earmarks of having passed IN

eminent League, which stirred up the
row.

campaigns for nomination and elec-
ton to the Senate, as set by TINS ex-
purgated and de-jokered bill, is $lO,oOo

personal travelling expenses, stamps
stationery, printing Except in news
papers,. and for telephone and tele-
graph Service, and to meet any charge
levied upon a candidate by the laws
of the State in which he resides. He
may, unless further limited by state
laws, give, expend or promise to con-
tribute another 5000 to secure ms own
nomination and election. For candl-
dates for the House the limit OF cost
is fixed at $4,000 for personal, and
81. 500 for general expenses, or S7,500
altogether.

Here Senator Sherman smiled gent

which those who were near him were
familiar, added: "Of course, / could

had nearly $1,000, 900 in paper money,
and, in comparison with specie, it
for that reason 1t kept specie out of
circulation. 1t was accomplished.

as an object lesson to the people, and
was then persuaded that never

was the beginning of prosperity
which is now in progress. I hope 1t

WAKING RESPONSIVE ECHOES.

a remarkable exhibition in Southern Democratic

taken In the intrigues of the queen
whom she loved. When the royal
family were forced to leave Versailles
she fed to England, but returned
within few months to be with the
queen. 1t was through her own
efforts that she received permission to
share the captivity of the queen.
However, she was soon separated and
forced to solitary confinement in an
other prison. Just five days before
her forty-third birthday she was
brought before the tribunal of the
revolutionists and commanded to
swear that she was devoted to the
cause of liberty and equality and
that she hated the king and queen
and the royal family.
Her answer is famous: 1.-THE first
oath will swear" she said, "but tho
rest I cannot" These were her last
words and they we're simply the
words of loyalty and devotion to her
friends. The president of the tribunal
dismissed her, but at the door she
was seized by the angry mob, who
literally tore her defenseless body to
pieces. To such minds, Supplied by
long years of oppression, this helpless
little woman exemplified all that they
detested In royalty and in their blind
ness they punished her for the sins
Of a system they despised.

II is difficult to secure that harmonl-

was great stumbling block in the
campaigns of the allied armies

1.-THE stars incline, but q not compel.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER o. 1914.

This Is one of the troubled days in
which malefic influences from the
stars operate upon the affairs of men.
According to the reading of astrology
Uranus, Mercury and Jupiter are all
in adverse aspect
Speculation Is subject to the most
unfavorable conditions. While 1t is
safe to sell in certain instances,
whatever has in it the element OF
chance should be avoided.
The omen is not encouraging for
travellers who seek gain through
journeys, the seers declare. Danger
from electrically propelled cars is be-
lieved to be increased during this
government of the planets. Railway
accidents have been so frequently
foreshadowed that wise men and
women are warned to he cautious
Persons who have contracts or
leases to sign should wait until a
more propitious aspect rules. Condi-
lions today make for disappointment
and breach of faith.
1t is not a lucky day for dealing
with bankers or, for making any fin
ancial negotiations. Business with
cashiers, brokers and bondsmen
should be postponed.
There Is an unfortunate aspect for
risky ventures or games of chance.
The rule is held as encouraging mis-
placed confidence, dishonesty and
wrong judgm ent.
While this configuration prevails 1t
is we'll to keep from petty worries
and to avoid noticing trifiing annoy

likely to produce undue sensitiveness
and irritability.

his wife does not know anything
/ about.
1t is true that in numerous instances
wives have not been trained before
marriage in the wise use of money.
There are thousands of devoted and
laffectionate parents who are respon-
sible forsunhappy homes and tragical
divorces because they have taught
their children nothing about the
proper use of money or it's true value.
Ignorance of practical management OF
family funds on the part of the wife
has wrecked many a home. Children
ought to be brought up to be familiar
with money, to know how to dispense
it wisely They should learn to feel
its meaning, to feel the value of it,
and what a tremendous part it plays
in life. How little parents realize that
they are guilty of a great injustice to
their children by. not teaching them
what a vital part money plays in the
administration of the home.
Because of their ignorance on Uhfs
subject, the majority of young peo-
pie enter married life without any
definite understanding or agreement
as to the portion of the earnings that
should be set aside for household ex-
penses, and the result is frequent
chickering's and unpleasant scenes in
discussions of household finances,
when these might practically have all
been avoided by a sensible, business
like arrangement at the very outset.
Times are changing, however, and
the girl of the future is going to
realize this true value of money. She
Is going to talk business to her hus-
band, to have an understanding with
him as to the family finances. The
necessary money will be handed over
to her, not doled out grudgingly. It
will be set aside as matter of BUSH
ness partnership. In the future the
man is not going to carry the home
pocketbook.

Her name in full was Marie Therese

soon after his marriage as a result
