Alphonse everything. What would
she do with this miserable 500 franc
bill? After all, she would get nothing
out of the whole thing If she gave
1t to charity without anybody know
ing anything about it.
Besides. it would not DO Alphonse
any harm to hear what her kisses
were valued at by others. There were
times when he did not seem to ap-
preciate her as much as he ought. He
was inclined TO be a little philistine,
and this thought made her feel quite
uneasy How was she to begin her
tale. Naturally she could not blurt
out; Il have sold kiss to your friend
Leon"
She heard her husbands step in the
hall now He was smiling as he en-
tered the room and kissed her as
usual Of course, he could not know
about the other kiss.
The Answer.
Leon has been here" he said
Yes. how do you know" she
gasped.
Why he telephoned from here"
He did,"
Yes, didn't you know He gave
you 500 francs"
Did he telephone that"
Yes, ! am glad that you did not
hear what he telephoned. Leon is a
libertine.'
What did he telephone them"
ooh. something very funny. What
he had wanted the money for"
What them"
Didn't he tell you then that half
an hour before he came to my office
to borrow 500 francs? He was in a
great hurry, he said. He wanted q
favor from a beautiful woman, but
after all, he found he did not need It,
so he had his chauffeur stop here and
gave you back the 500 francs he Dor
rowed from me. What do you think
of that"
what an immoral fellow" Nine

She felt crushed. She did not know
what to say to such n mean trick, and

Washington, April 6. President
Wilson>said today the selection of the
twelve reserve cities had been none
OF his business. that he had refrained
from making suggestions, but that he
unqualifedly endorsed the selections
made. He said he knew the organiza-
ton committee fairly reviewed the
claims OF all cities.
The President today enunciated the
principle guiding him in the selection
OF public servants. He said he did not
believe in choosing men who would
decide a question in a certain way,
but men whom he knew to be just and
fair. He said it seemed to him that
justice was the hardest thing in the
world to obtain and required more
courage than anything else.
He said the editorials and CORE
spondence all over the country show
support for the repeal OF the Panama
tolls.

CAPTAIN BAKER WTTHDRAWS

Capt. D. H. Baker or Orange
Home, Sumter county, who was a
candidate at the coming primary
for state senator from the twentieth
district, comprised of Marion and
Sumter counties, was in town today
and stated to a Star reporter that he
had withdrawn from the race on &C
count of the provision in section %
of the new primary law, which states
that a candidate who is voted on in
| more than one county in the state
must qualify before the secretary of
state at Tallahassee at least thirty
days prior to the primary.
Capt. Baker only consented to be-
come candidate after much urging
on the part of his friends, and was
allowing his friends to manage his
campaign. When he went to qualify
yesterday he discovered this provis-
ion in the law which will necessitate
his withdrawal. Candidates voted
for in only one county can qualify
20 days prior to the primary, before
the clerk of the court in their own
county.
The new primary law has so
many clauses different from the old
law that one has to study it very
carefully to conform to them all.
Capt. Baker says that he person
ally is not disappointed that he can
not remain in the race, but his
friends will be keen1y disappointed
and he regrets the necessity of quit
ting on their account. This will
leave the field clear for Mr.. Glenn

Mrs. Gertrude Wilkinson killed her
self in ST. Petersburg Sunday night.
She was a native of Guatemala, and
a few years ago she married an Am

railroad in her native country. In
consequence of revolution, she and
her husband were both sentenced to
be shot, and were saved only by the
arrival of marines from an American
war vessel. Later they were exiled
and came to this country. Wilkin-

Crosby and Mr.. Light put in more

work is done and draw their incomes

is about the only business man who
can really afford to go to the legis-

professional or business man to neg
lect his regular business to first
make canvass and later go for two
months to Tallahassee. A farmer is
generally SO situated that he can fill
the position without any serious det-
riment to his affairs. A lawyer
can't afford it unless he is either
some ambitious young fellow strug-
Cling for recognition, or some ex-
perienced older man Of such large
and established practice that he can
afford to make his clients wait for a
few months while he serves the state
for glory, or, as is often the case, to
serve some special interest, whose
good will is worth more to him than
