that she was to become mother she told the governor and he advised her, contrary to her wishes. to have an illegal operation. She asserts that she at first opposed this. proposing to him that her child be placed in an institution in some distant town, and he could bring it home and adopt it and neither Mrs. Russell nor anyone else need know who were the parents of the child. He insisted that this idea was impracticable, that in the course of a short time Mrs. Russell and I would have a fight over the child, and that I would claim it. Then, too, he insisted that the course I suggested would be too expensive and the fact might become known and would injure if not ruin his ca reer as a politician"
 The plaintiff then alleges that be- cause of the insistence of the gov ernor she permitted herself to be op- erated upon, with the consequent loss of her health.
 After she had recovered from her operation the girl asserts that she saw the governor on several occa- sions, but that he grew cold toward her. Finally, she alleges that on one of these visits the governor told me that unless I promised that afternoon to leave Jackson he would have me thrown into the insane asylum-that he was governor and could have this done. He had made this threat on numerous occasions before, saying that Dr. Mitchell, superintendent of the hospital, understood the matter and had agreed to keep me there; that I would be placed in a ward of the worst cases and in view of my extreme nervous condition I would in the course of few days really lose my mind. I am positive that Gov ernor Russell intended committing the additional crime of destroying my nlind."

sorrow is nothing more than the souls winter. And spring comes again.
 Often man who has failed in one of Ife's ventures, writes me out of desperation and poverty and cries that he is defeated.
 Often a woman who has blundered once, cries out that her life is over and that she has no right to happi- ness.
 How dare we judge ourselves and demn any growing thing to eternal plant a winter of such stark grayness that death seems near.
 No loss condemns one of us to eter- nal sorrow.
 No blunder consigns us to the bat ;a1ion of the lost.
 Nothing in life fails to pass and re- place itself in time.
 Scars may mark grave wounds. Graves may be dug where once there was life. But as the wounds heal to scars, so the graves cover themselves with mantling grass.
 No suffering is eternal. A year and the most devastating agony is little 1.ore than a memOr Beware of darkest steps. The darkest day-Iive till tomorrow-wi11 have passed away" wrote the poet. Why do we forget? Mourning is not forever. Sorrow is not eternal. The same great Provi- dence which sends spring to follow | winter, will send to our hearts a new sl.ringtime when their winter is over.

Count No. 1 is based upon seduc- ton only. After briefly narrating how she came under the pred omf- nant influence 5o of the defendant at a time when he was a candidate for governor and how she was persuad- ed to 'tyield to his wiIl," the bill adds:
 That as a result of the said se- duction, plaintiffs repue ation and character were ruined, and she was caused to lose her employment; her health was ruined to her great dam age in the sum of $50,000.''
 Charges Illegal Operation.
 Count No. has as it's basis an op- eration which. it alleges, was per- formed at the instigation of Gov ernor Russell.
 "As result of the said seduction and opsration.'' it reads, "plaintiff's 6 health was totally wrecked and ruin- ed. She suffered untold pain and anguish; and she is now an invalid, and will be such the remaining part of her Efe.''

 Isn't there a wonderful message for each of us in the req elization that the naked branches of winter will be clothed with beauty again when the year stirs to Towering life?
 Why do we ever forget the eternal truth of life's renewal2 The Towering bush does not die-it sleeps and rests through the snow and cold and then comes in due season to it's heritage of summer beauty Year after year this happens Year after year Nature give us her message of immortality through trees and shrubs and flowers And yet we take no truth from Ma ture to our own lives

WHAT AFFECTS
DIAMOND VALUES?
Watkins & YarbrOugh

There are many factors which
enter into the fixing of the value
of n diamond. one fact TO be
borne In mind Is that Nature fur
nishes very few absolutely white
and even fewer absolutely perfect
diamonds. and remembering this
fact will go long way toward
establishing sincere and cordial
relations with the dealer. Even.
IL one could procure an absolutely
perfect. snow white diamond. an
cnhorbitaut price would be asked
in view Of tho scarcity of the phc-
nomcna.
Minor and impcrccptibie de-
fects do not injurc the appearance
or tho durability Of stone. aud
tho integrity Of the dealer will
price the stone according to its
degree OF perfection.
The principal points to be con-
sidcrcd in placing a value on dia-
monds are the color. the flaws. the
cutting, recruiting. and the mount
ing.
The presence or absence of color
cXcrts u very great effect on the
commercial value OF diamonds.
Aside from fancy stones. which
have Il pronounced color. the tints
are pale. and the average person
could not detect any color at all
unless he would compare the gem
with n pure white stone. IL is the
ability To detect how much color
stone carries that the success Of
jewelers. judgment depends.
One OF the most conspicuous
flaws in a diamond Z; termed car
bon spots" When conspicuous to
the naked eye these spots greatly
dcpreciate the value OF n stone.
However. IL these impcrfcctions
are few and impcrceptiblc. dia-
mOnd containing them may bc
more valuable. IL it's color Is fine.
than q perfect diamond OF bad
color.
Tho cutting OF the stone. so as
to avoid the perception Of natural
flaws. and 10 bring ont tho Sparl.l"
and fire, has Il great effect on the
valuation OF diamonds.
\ diamond can reflect the light
from tho material OF It's mounting.
This may have powerful effect
upon the apparent color. Slight
differences in color make large
differences In value.
Dealers should consider very
carefully II II is not best. in the
long run. 10 look ont for the Gus
toner's best interests. and explain
frankly TO them why ono stone is
cheaper than another.
Buy with confidence.
