Don't allow yourself to become sc

calmly. You are feverish now.

question, so vital thing quietly, but
unless you do you will surely regret
whatever decision you may make.
Then she asked: Are you positive
that YOU no longer love vour hre-

'much to make you h5ppS."
To my as.ollsluent Mrs SeH'on

ton; would have made that the prin-
cipal factor in the dec,sion ! had to

THAT is what | tried 10 decide last
night. J love George very much at
times when he is nice to me, even
Just pleasant But when for days he
is fault-finding and critical: then
added to that ne is so attentive to
another woman, and leaves me alone
so oftou-he barcely ever spends an
evening with me snl<ss we are goiny
out or are entertaing at home. But
I wouldn't mind anything If he had
acted as II he loved me. and
HAS he never acted so?" Mrs.
Sexton interrupted.
Many Kind Acts Recalled.
Yes inded!' I confessed quickly.
You remember the taxi accident,
the theater fire, and that time in
Newport when was nearly drowned.
He surely must have loved me lit |
tie to talk as he did. to say the
things he said"
That's something in his favor

George, but he could give me all |
those things'
81 know dear Wen come to him |
soon. Suppose we finish with Mr..
Howard first" she patted my hand. |
Lei me see--oh yes. we had finished |
with all the material benefits You |
have from him. Now tell me aren't |
there days at az time when he is |
thoughtful and kind, when he for |

You remember In the last story
that Just as Billy Bunny hoped into
the hollow stump a voice said.
What are you doing in here"
Il came In to get out OF the wet.
answered the little rabbit, aud then
the voice replied:
What Is It rainingg I'll lend
you an umbrella," ana an old wood
chuck opened little door In the
side ~ the stump and winkcd at
Billy Bunny
That's very Kind Of you" said
tho little rabbit and he opened his
knapssck and gave the woodchuck a
nice lollypop. and after that the
woodchuck said: II think you'd bet
ter stay here with me until the rain
is over Don't you think SOP" And
Billy Bunny said yes, for the wood
chuck was very nice and had such
good manners that the littlc rabbit
felt quite at homo.
But, oh, dear me, 1t began to
rain So hard right then and there
that the water just poured into the
old hollow stump. and pretty soon 1t
was very uncomfortable. So the
woodchuck said
"Sow don't YOU ever tell anybody
where I'm going 10 take you. For
It's my very own house, and never
let anybody know Just where do
live. You see. so many people are
after mo some with guns, and some
with sharp claws and teeth that
have to be very careful
So the little rabbit promised. and
then he followed the woodchuck
through the little door and down a
long passage until they came TO Il
nice, comfortable room.
Now this is where live" said
the woodchuck, and he went over to
the cupboard and took out a carrot

EVENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR
FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR
[ey Jas per Bllnes.l

The European war Of 1870 was one
Of tremendous power and of Tar reach
ing influence. Two great Kingdoms
suddenly marched forth in battle ar
ray to engage In a contest involving
the question as to which power should
be allowed to dictate question OF
international rulership. The struggle
burst forth as volcano whose fires
Of hatred had long remained inactive
yet ready and awaiting the day OF
reviying. Then came the explosion.
Reflect over how affairs OF the great
est Importance to nations and the
human race all over the world in
fluence and modify each other. Frog,
and looking into the past these forty
eight years, the discerning student
sees an amazing event connected with
the CONFUSION of 1870. But time is
the great teacher. The people of the
United States took spirited interest
in the European struggle, the demo
cratic masses arraying themselves in
favor of Napoleon, while the republi-
cans espoused the side OF the Prus-
sion nation. This party alignment
here in America is one of the curious
chapters in history This preference
in the two great political partie5
assumed a degree OF energy away up
| to fever heat. Few indeed could
give logical reason for their positive
stand in favor of Prussia or France,
and in common the general people
needed Daniel to interpret the hand
writing on the wall of the pharaoh.
The years Of 1914 and 1918 were far
| away in the distant future.
The little nation of Spain had
] n min LODI 70
ceived but little attention during the
periods including 1870. Alas! there
is the source which brought on the
fearful clash Of two mighty powers.
The prophet Daniel would have seen
the iron hand which inscribed the
message on the kings palace. The
mask of 1870 disappeared in 1914.
and the iron hand appeared in all its
world wide eclipse. The sinister de-
signs of the one power has never
been comprehended by the genera.
people of the world. The attractions
in the immediate foreground were
most interesting to the populace
whose vision did not extend far south
ward to the national jewel which was
so coveted by the power of the double
headed eagle. Prussia would have
Spain! A half dozen royal rulers
We're stalking around engaged in the
pastime Of tossing the welfare Of ma
tions and empires in their fateful
hands.
Following is the historical account
of the great crisis of 1870:
The Ems telegram was the cause
of the F'ranco-Prussian war of 1870.
The vacant throne of Spain had been
offered to and accepted by a prince
of the house of Hohenzollern. Prince
Leopold. The negotiations were car
ried out with the greatest secrecy,
but as soon as the acceptance was
made known, the French government
| interviewed and declared that the
project was unsatisfactory Prince
| Bismarck was away at Varzin, but
on his instructions the Prussian for
/; eign Office, in answer to inquiries,
| denied all knowledge of responsibility.
