GOS1AGt SENTENCED.

The last echo of the murder and sui
eide sensation of month ago was
heard when Edward Gostage the com
mon law husband" of Danielson's VIC
tim, WAS sentenced to eight months in
the county Jail by Judge Chloupek last
Monday. Unless the defendant pleads
"guilty" the municipal court has no
power in state prison case other than
TO bind over to the circuit court for
trial Gostage waived examination
and was bound over. Being then
awaiting trial, with circuit court not
in session, he could demand to be sen
fenced by the county court on plea OF
"guilty." This Gostage did and was
accordingly sentenced by Judge Chloa-
pek to eight months in the county jail
for having lived as husband and wife
with Mrs. Mabel Probert who was
slain by her jealous admirer j. Dan
|ielson of Chicago. The latter escaped
the laws penalty for mis- bloody act by
Immediate suicide.
Gostage was sentenced under the
statute that permits the sheriff to find
a lob for him outside the jail and his
real wife and his children in Michigan
|may be the financial gamers by his
sentence.

PLENTY OF STRATEGY.

This is the story of a real elope.
ment. The folks concerned were old
fashioned Methodists. The bride was
the stepdaughter of an obstinate old
farmer whose family always managed
him by pretending they did not want
to do what suited them, whereupon
the cross-grafned head of the family
would come in Immediately with a
stern command that they should do
the very thing they wanted to do,
both sides thus pluming themselves
on carrying the day. His stepdaugh-
ter did not dare tell him she expected
to be married. The. engagement and
the preparation of the trousseau had
to be carried on with extreme secrecy,
None of the garments in making

father was about. The whole family
grew admirably we'll trained into
whisking things into hiding at the
most distant sight of him. The only
time he ever took them by surprise
was when he suddenly came into the
room while the bride-to-be was trying
on new hat, but this accident turned
out favorably for her, as will be seen.

THE KIND VIRTUES.

Most of us shrink from admonitions
to forgiveness, mercy and humility
because these virtues seem to imply
self-suppression. 1t is our Unborn sense
of justice that rebels and, truth to
tell, feuds and rancors are kept active
not so frequently by the injured as
by the injurers, who do not want to
be forgiven, but to have their offenses
palliated and explained away. Very
few natures are so vindictive as not
to bury resentment at profession of
conjunction, and the vice of self
justification in wrong is the really
deadly foe to mutual good feeling
An ignoble nature. cannot bear to be
weighed and found wanting, and then
the intellect, which should reflect the
souls beacon light of truth, is put to
the pitiable and ignoble use of in
venting defenses and specious coun-
ter charges. There never were two
greater fallacies uttered than that it
takes two to make quarrel and that
there are two sides to every ques-
ton. Often it takes Only one to make
a quarrel, and that one is the wrong
doer, and very frequently there is
only one side to question, and that
is the side that is unchampioned and
unheard. The love of what is abso-
lutely true and right, strong enough
to make one ashamed of failing is the
real solution to personal estrange-
ments. An honest conjunction is
really SO ennobling that it's cultivation
is we'll worth while. To be heartily
sorry at having inflicted pain is a
simple, natural sentiment and true
goodness is always simple and natural
and far easier, if really sought, than
anything else. G. H. K.

dress underneath showed short
Jacket OF blue broadcloth braided
with white braid. Around the edges
was an inch band of the fur. This
was worn ever rather full waist. The
skirt had the fulness disposed of in
plcats around the waist and when the
hands were placed in the cunning side

nounced. One almost expected TO see

very modern white shoes peeped forth.

WEAKNESS OF THE STRONG
NonathIetes surpass Their Fellows IN
the Army, Declares Surgeon Of
Experience.

It is a common experience in war
that medium sized and short men
came into camp in better shape than
the tall and strong. Attention has been
called by foreign army surgeon to
the eventual collapse of officers who
were distinguished as athletes. The
nonathletic last longer as officers and
give better service in the long run.
The usual explanation has been that
athletic sports cause a strain for
which the organism is not built. The
nervous system is more or less en-
hausted. particularly when training
is practised for long periods.
Perhaps, also, the exceedingly mus.
cular are tempted, every now and
then, to exert their full strength for
short periods, and thus put the tbs.
sues to an unusual strain, although
never indulging in athletic sports.
In no other way, for instance, can
we explain the utter collapse and
death Of Petty Officer Evans, the
strongest man in the ill-fated Scott ex.
petition to the South pole. He must
have had weak spot which gave
way under strains which were harm.
less to the rest. He may have been in.
jured by falls on the ice and he did
not have the great mentality neces.
sary to keep him alive and going in
spite of adversely.
1t is this unknown quality Of grit,
or backbone. which enables men to
surmount life's obstacles. It is in.
herent in the quality Of the stuff our
nerve cells are made Of. Evans lost
heart" and that was the end of Il
for him. Men Of great heart" win
not give way to despair when exhaust
ed. He was simply unit, but no one
seems to know why. Was ho too
strong?
