be ominously forshadowed by Mrs.
Pankhurst's confession that women

will become addicted to the habit of

your wife,
Martin Rood faced his successful
rival In love, a breathing volcano OF
rage and other emotions His face
was distorted, his eyes blazed with a
lurking insanity, his fingers writhed
as though they would clutch the throat
OF Vincent Berrows and choke the
life out OF him.
The latter placed a friendly, kind.
ly hand upon the arm OF the other.
Rood shook it of wrathfully. The last
glance he bestowed on Vincent as
he turned away made him shudder.
TOO bad, reflected Vincent. Il
don't doubt that he loved Leonie, and
am sorry for him. II was fair

how the poor fellow hates me"
So il seemed, and so 1t was Both
men were rich as wealth went in the
cattle belt Rood was the elder OF
the two, and was a pidower. He was
cynical and imperious, and set on an
object, usually gained it. His lack
OF encouragement from Leonie had
soured him. Then to disappointment
succeeded the dark resolve that II
the pretty belle OF the town did not
marry him, she should not wed his
rival.
Vincent went home, thoughtful, dis
turbed and distressed as to his former
friend, Rood The latter, he had no
ticed, had acted strangely OF late. AT
times there was an expression in his
eye Vincent did not like. He often
wondered If his mind was just right.
In a bitter, open way, publicly, Rood
had shown his enmity for the man
who had once been his friendly com
panion
"Hello!" calculated Vincent as he
passed along the garden walk beside
his home.
A window was open. 1t had not
been when he had recently left the

POLITICAL LEGISLATION.

Ohio State Journal: Let it be re-
membered that when any legislation is
done on political account alone, the
party that does it will suffer That s
logic and history, too. One can never
win triumph by debasipg a duty.
Men do not gather grapes of thorns, or
figs of thistles. nor the public good
from political sefshness. This may be
good politics from the practical side,
but it is from the patriotic side. A
man spoke of another as a sharp poll
tician We don't like sharp politicians
There is something the matter with
them. They generally deal with false
motives and deceits. There is honesty
only in the straight issue

for week. and he had been keep
ing bachelors hall The disturbed
vines beneath the window warned OF
an intruder. Vincent decided that
there had been burglarious visit
during his absence.
He went around to the front door
and noiselessly let himself into the
house. On tiptoe he proceeded
through the various rooms. The one
where the window was open was his
study. as he glanced in he observed
that some money on his desk had not
been disturbed. In the cabinet in the
dining room the silverware was undis-
turbed. There was a rustling sound
in the kitchen. He proceeded thither

striped garb Of convict was putting
on an old suit of clothes Vincent
used when he worked around the gar

story that aroused interest and pity in
his auditor.
The upshot of the matter was that
generous-hearted Vincent Barrows as
sisted the man to get out OF town and
to his invalid wife. Then he forgot
all about the circumstance, mitigating
his friendly Offices in behalf OF fugl-
tive from justice, in the belief that he
had suffered sufficiently for his crimes
and was in earnest in his declaration
Of repentance and reform.

mirable ballad it is--on "Heatherale .
which he describes as "a Galloway Ie-

curiosities OF human nature this Ne

ceeds to point out that the Picts were

day they form a considerable part of
the population of certain parts Of
Scotland. rs it possible" he asks,
the chronicler's error was merely

There are many other ales besides
the Scots ale brewed from heather,
whose recipes are secrets of the past.
No one knows for instance how the
nut-brown ale OF the middles ages was
brewed or the famous Dagger" ale,
which was to be obtained at only one

POLITICS AS A CAREER.

President Hadley Of Yale recently
gave advice to the seniors Of that uni
versity on the subject of taking up
politics ~ career, and, as has hap
pened to other men, has been made the
butt Of criticizm based on misconcep-
ton of Misrepresentation of his re-
marks. What he actually said, as re-
reported in the Yale Alumni Weekly,
is worthy Of reproduction, as follows:
Nor can a man safely make politics
his occupation unless he has some indie
pendent means Of support to fall back
upon if he has to break with his party.
He has no right to put himself in po-
sition where he may have to choose be-
tween starvation for his family and
disservice to his country. ! do not
mean that every man who goes into
politics ought TO be independently rich
Though the independently rich man
does have certain very great advan-
tages in leading fight for clean poll
tics); but that, in default Of wealth, he
ought to have had such training in law
or journalism or some other profession
which he can readily resume as to give
him tangible alternative to fall back
upon if political preferment may only
be had at the sacrifice of his honor

A BURDENED PEOPLE.

According TO a count made in the IL
brary of congress recently, our federal
and state legislatures passed SODA
statutes during the 1--WE years from 1909
to 1913 inclusive Even greater than
this multiplicity Of laws was the vast
mass Of decisions of court of last re-
sort, federal and state. which during
the same five years reached the enor-
nous total of 65,S79 and now fin $50
volumes.
And yet ignorance of the law in a
thousand volumes does not excuse. In

ever for declaring that the country is

WORK or THE DRUG SQUAD.

The drug squad of the New York po-
lice department in the course of last
year made 1850 arrests for violations
of the law regarding the traffic in hab-
Informing drugs, Some of the people
coming into clash with the department
for this cause were consumers and
some were dealers. Commissioner
Woods thinks that the dissemination Of
Information illustrating the connection
between the use of drugs and crime
will have beneficial effect on the
public. He says the department has
found at a conservative estimate that
between so and 70 per cent of gunner
and thieves are dope hends, and that
most Of the desperate and brutal crimes
which have shocked the community are
committed by drug-craaed men.
