on old age pension bills for public en-
ployes before the House committee on
ways and means drew vigorous oppo-
sition from frennen and policemen
throughout the state, who have well
established non contributory systems
of their own.
The proposed legislation would COM
pei all public employees to contribute
from to per cent. of their salaries
to the general pension fund.
Speaking against the measure, John
A. Sullivan, corporation counsel for
this city, told the committee that the
public would have to pay all the bills,
and claimed that new taxes would
have to be levied upon all the indus
tries for the benefit of few.

Child Falls Four
Stories==Uninjured

Lewiston, Me-, June 4.-Laurier, the
four -year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
C. Poliquin of So Lincoln street, Lew
iston. fell Wednesday afternoon from
one of the windows of his parents
home to the sidewalk, four stories be-
low, striking upon his face. Except
for bruises on the right side of the
face and head the little chap was, on
Thursday, as bright and lively as ever,
apparently not the worse for his ad-
venture.
The little chap was playing about
the house Wednesday afternoon and
climbed up into a chair by one of the
windows Looking out of the window
Laurier saw a relative coming along
the street. Instantly interested he
sought to get better view and push
ed hard against the screen. The
screen gave way and the boy went
tumbling through the window to the
hard sidewalk below.
AS he fell he screamed, attracting
the attention Of neighbors and other
inmates of the house.
All was excitement in an instant
1t scarcely seemed that the child
touched the sidewalk before assistants
we're at his side. All expected he was
dead. as it seemed impossible he could
fall that distance and escape with his
life.
The child was unconscious and DIT
Dumont who had been hastily sum-
moned, was soon giving him necessary
treatment. After time he recovered
consciousness and Thursday morning
after a nights sleep, was, as stated
apparently as we'll as ever.

The situation in the Senate is some
what different. There Is next to no
Democratic leadership there. Some
Democrats are accounted nominal
leaders in the upper legislative
branch" but they have little Hollow

chosen leaders. Senators are nomi-
nally much more independent than
representatives. They are chosen for
terms thrice as long. They have more
power and more authority. They
are generally more experienced men.
of ripper judgment as to public af-
fairs. But the Democratic majority
in 9the Senate is made up much of
new men. whose ability hardly aver
ages with that of Democratic repre-
sentatives. This condition actually
makes for the Presidents benent
temporarily. AS Democratic senators
have no leaders of their own they
look to the President to lead. them
and his word is very nearly final with
most of them. The currency bill ana
later the canal repeal Dill nave
brought some dissenters but the
President has been saved there by
Republicans who came to his aid.
However, it Is the wrath of the
country which makes Democratic
Washington CULVER and quake Tor the
moment. For the first ten or twelve
months the Presidents supposed
popularity was looked upon as a great
tower of party strength Now 1T be-
gins to appear that the President may
not, be so popular after all. One
thing after another has indicated that
people are not following him with the
confidence they had during the first
part of his administration. Wash
lngton has no definite proof of this
but there are signs which probably are
not mistaken. m Be all that as it may

II HE universal longing for love IS
responsible for more misfit mat


responsible for more misfit mat
rmonial mates than anything
else in this loYe-lit old world.
A man loves Love. A woman is
the embodiment of that sentiment to
him, and, loving Love and wanting it,
he thinks he loves the first woman
who attracts him
A woman knows that when Love
comes to her some man will bring
the message, and she mistakes every
advance courier on the road for her
prince, often. in the eXuberance Of
her longing and the natural eXag
gerauon of youth, giving that long
ing for Love to two men at once.
When the confusion is confined to
one object, tragedy threatens. but
when a man or woman loves" two at
the same time, it is Cupid's comedy.
No one can marry two persons at
once, but one may marry one, and
find out too late that love for Love
and love for individual are as far
apart as the east and west coasts OF
the sea.
If one were to tell the writer of the
following letter that she is playing
the star part in Cupid's Comedy. she
would grow indignant. She has given
that which she mistakes for love to
two men at once. Those who have
known this divine passion know that
she doesn't know what love means.
Love is never Invisible.
