The leader poked a pistol in Toulster’s face and while. convers- ing with him in a friendly way searched his pockets and took $17.90. “Ts this all you have?” asked the high- wayman. “Isn't it enough?” replied Toulster, laughing. In response the highwayman slowly unscrewed a $150 diamond stud from Toulster’s shirt front. “This is no ‘phony,’ is it?’ he asked, handing the stud to one of his pals. Says Diamond Is Genuine. “Tf it is I'm no judge of diamonds,” said Toulster, still under the impression that he was being made the butt ef a joke. ‘This highwayman, “Pretty nice overcoat you've got, Take it off.’’ Teulster looked into the barrel of the robber’s pistol and obeyed. “Umh, pretty decent looking coat, too. - Let’s have it,” commanded the robber.

When he got within a block of Central District Station a man, who had evidently been sent after him by the robbers, stopped him and handed him an old, shabby over- coat. “Put this on,” said “you might catch cold.” Toulster grabbed the man, but the latter jerked away and ran. He was pursued @ block by Toulster but made his escape. The robbery was then re- ported to the police, the stranger,

Evelyn testified that. ; believed Thaw was insane, andl nad told her that his rival was a mental wreck, She swore also that she had refused to enter a suicide pact with Thaw just be- fore they were married. There was a lengthy conference of the Thaw: attorneys before the trial began, —flat which it was decided that Evelyn Thaw would not be withdrawn to permit her mother-in-law and Mrs. Morehouse to testify. So the younger Mrs. Thaw again resumed the stand. Jerome at once renewed his motion that the public be excluded from the courtroom during the remaining time that Mrs. Evelyn Thaw is on the stand. Justice Dowling denied Jerome’s mo- tion. Littleton then resumed the examina- tion of Mrs. Thaw, questioning her rela- tive to the famous interview in the Puris hotel in 19038 in which Evelyn Nes- bit told Thaw that she could not marry him because of her alleged ruin at the hands of Stanford White. “Did he ask you if it was White who had made your marriage impossi- ble?” “Yes,”’ answered Evelyn. Here Jerome’s objection to the whole story was overruled. Evelyn, continuing her story, said: “I told him I first met Stanford White when I was introduced to him by a of times and finally I went with him In la cab. He took me to a house on West Twenty-fourth street.” “Were you alone?” “We were, but while we were luncheon another man came in.” ‘Did he eay anything?” “Ife did not.” “And what happened?” Velwet Swing. “Stanford White showed me through the house. We went into a couple of rooms, all hung with @raperies aud with sketches on the walls. There was a big velvet swing in one of the rooms and all of the seats were lounging chairs of velvet.’ “What did you do then?” “We left and he took me for a ride around the park.” “When did you meet him again?” “as short time lete®at the same placc wheu 1 went with another girl.” “What did he say to you?” ‘Me asked me to come to a dinner and party which he was arranging to take place after the show,” “Did you agree to no?" “Vea! “Where did he then take you?’ “He took me to the rooms he had in the tower of Madison Square Garden.” Jerome Was constantly springing to his feet with objections as Mrs. Thaw continued her tory. When the prosecutor would take hi+ seat, Thaw would gaze intently at his wife. When Jerome was on his feet the defendant would crane his neck toward the blue-clad figure on the stand. Mrs. Thaw, us last year, conrtantiy re- iterated that she was repeating oni; what she had told Thaw in Pari«, When Jerome offered bis objections, Evetya would turn to him and tneist: “That's what I told him, Mr. Jerome.” Justice Dowling ruled that Mra.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Over the bitter colenbh of District At- torney William T. Jerome, who branded as *‘preposterous’ contention of the defense that the story of Evelyn Nesbit’s alleged downfall at the hands of Stanford White unbalanced Harry K. Thaw and led to the tragedy in Madison Square Roof Garden three years later, the prisoner’s young wife took the witness stand today and repeated that story to the jury. She testified that when she was 16 years old Stanford White invited her-to his Twenty-fourth street studio, ostensibly to sibend a dinner party. She found herself alone in the house with him, she said, ne became unconscious after she had sipped a glass of: tux mane.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. Twenty-fourth street house occurred after her mother had been sent by Stanford White to visit friends in Pilts- burg. Mrs. Thaw said it was the day alter she had gone with Stanford White to a studio in East Twenty-second street t- have some photographs taken in cos- tume that she received a note from him asking her to lunch with a party at tie Twenty-fourth street house after the theater. She was playing at the Casino at the time. “When we got to the house there was no one there except Mr. White and my- self,’’ continued the witness, ‘“‘and. he said ‘they have all turned me down; but never mind, we’ll have our supper and then I'll show you all over the house. You have never seen it.’’”’ When Mrs. Thaw regained her com- posure she continued: “Supper was on the table, laid for four, atic he said before we ate he wanted to show me over the place again, as I hac not seen it all. He showed me a room lined entirely with mirrors, an- other beautifully upholstered and fitted, also a secret stairway \s.hich led from the upper to the lower floor. Then he showed me a finely furnished bedroom and when I sat down he poured out a gless of wine and set it before me. When I did not drink it, he asked me what was the matter, and I took a lit- tlh: of it. I knew no more for some time. When I finally came to myself I screamed and Stanford White came over to me and told me not to woarry. I hurried to my hotel.” “What next did you tell Mr. Thaw?’’ “I told him Stanford White came to my room aud knelt down and told me I must not worry; that everything would be all right; that I must not tell mam- ma; that every one did these things; that it was all a part of life. I asked him if certain people I knew did these things and he laughed and told me, ‘Why, of course.’ He declared that if I didn’t believe him, to ask any of them and they would tell me he was telling the truth.’’ Story Brings Her Tears. During her recital the voice of the witness broke many times, and on one or two occasions tears rolled down her cheeks. Through it all Thaw sat with handkerchief to his eyes, his frame ap-' parently convulsed with sobs. “Mr. Thaw asked me if I ever vis- ited White a win and I[ told him I had. White took me to the Twenty-second street house. It was furnished a great deal like the Twenty-fourth | street house,”’ yikee in “What was Mr. Thaw's manner when you told him of your experiences at the hands of White?” “He would pace up anu down the room, pulling at his “«ir, wringing his hands, biting his finger nails and sob- bing aloud.”’ “Did you tell Mr. Thaw anything about your playing a piano at the Twenty-fourth street house prior to your experiences at the hands of Stan- ford White?’ “Yes, sir; I told him that I played the plano on the second floor of the Twenty-fourth street house. While I was doing so Mr. White went in and out a number of times, and it was after this that he brought me the wine.” “Now, Mrs. Thaw,” began Littleton, “please tell us everything else you can recall on that night.” “Mr. Thaw told me it was most un- fortunate and asked me if I had ever told anyone about it. I told him that I had not, but I cannot recall all he said. I can recall his actions bet- I told him this was the reason I could not marry him. Said He Would Always Care. “He declared that I was unfortunate; that I was not to blame one particle and that my story made no difference in his feelings for me. He said he would al- ways care for me, but I said no, that I would have to go back on the stage. He said he would not permit this.” “Anythiig else?’ “Oh, he asked me a great deal about mamma and what she thought of Stan- ford White. I told him she thought a great deal of him; that he was a very nice man, and I also told him about an- other friend of White’s whom mother liked very much. I told him also tnar outside of that one great thing, White had always been very good to me. Mr. Jerome would not allow any -- -. tions to be asked until the witness had completed every sentence. His con- stant objections did much to de .3e the effectiveness of the recital. “For several days after I had told him about Stanford White,” said the witness, “Mr. Thaw would sit for hours looking into space. When I would speak to him it was always some little time before he would answer.” “Did Mr. Thaw ask you about your early iffe?’’ “ae, &.” “What did you tell him?" Mr. Jerome objected. Jerome Scores Point. “f sustain the objection,” ruled Jus- tice Dowling, “as to anythin: that oc- curred prior to the meeting of the wit- ness with Stanford White.” Mr. Littleton had sought to get the story of the girl's early life and of the hardships and the poverty of her family before the jury on Friday during his direct examination of the witness, but an objection by the District At- torney was sustained. Mr. Littleton argued today that the early life story of the witness had ; great deal to do with impressing Thaw with the truth of her story and thus had a direct effect as to inducing in- sanity. Upon this presentation of the mat- ter. Justice Dowling reversed his. for- mer ruling and potlowed the witness to proceed, “Now, what else did you say when he still urged you to marry him?" anything “| told him his family would object E TELLS WHY THA KILLED STANFORD WHITE Thaw’s story of her ruin as she argued that this conversation drove posterous, C‘ourt. by a jury of his peers.

His manner was most nervous and he seemed half crazed.”’ “Were you with him continually after this?’ ‘Nearly so.” “Was this subject again referred to?’ ‘Almost continually.’ “What was his manner?” ‘Tie would bite his nails, talk inco- herently and sob _ wildly. He would keep sobbing for the longest time. Then he would sit for hours with his head buried in his hands, never saying a word.”’ Traveled Through Europe. “You traveled through Europe with him after that?’ “Yes. He never lost an opportunity to talk about my treatment by White, and especially at night, and he would always end by werping and declaring White had ruined his life as well as mine, and that if it had not been for White we would have been happily married long before that.” After many objections a question was finally framed as to what the witness told Thaw about her early life. “I told him I was born in Allegheny, that my father was a lawyer, and that we were very happy until he died, when I was a little girl. I then told him how we were very poor and that I finally had to pose in order that we might live. “TIT also told him I had not been able to go to scheol very much.” Witness declared that when she first went on the stage she had visions of becoming a great actress. She was then 15 years old and wag accompanied to and from the theater by her mother. “Why,” she said, turning her head demurely, “I had a speaking part within two weeks after I went on the stage.” “When did you return to this coun- rr “In the fall of 1903. “How soon afterward did you see Thaw?” “About two weeks after he came to my hotel and tried to see me. I told him that I didn’t want to see him, that I had heard certain things about him and I did not believe he was the kind of a man I ought to know.” A serious wrangle between counsel followed, Jerome trying to check testi- mony along this line, but Dowling even- tually ruled that if she had heard cer- tain things about Thaw from | White and told Thaw about them, these stories were competent evidence. “Did you sec Thaw again?’ “Yes, in the Hotel Navarre.” ‘ “What did you tell him?’ “T told him that White had told me, and another man had also told me, serious things about mie.’”’ “Did you tell him the character of the stories you were old about him?” >. ao, Mrs. Thaw told again of the burning of the affidavit she had signed in Hum- mel’s office. She had tried to get pos- J session of it—not knowing what it had contained. when she signed it—but Stan- ford White would not let her see any- thing more than her signature before it Was burned. Mr. Littleton made no attempt shield the fact, as was done on direct examination last year, that the witness and Thaw lived together both in this country and abroad prior to their mar- riage. to He Suggested Suicide. “One day at the Grand Hotel in New York, early in 1904," said Mrs. Thaw, ‘Harry was very despondent and he, said my life had been ruined and his life had been ruined; that all sorts of stories had been circulated about him and he was going to end it all by sul- cide. He went so far as to fix the time and place and everything. He said we would go to the Waldorf and get din- ner and then we would take laudanum. Hie wanted me to drink laudanum also.

I came in one day at Monte Carlo and Harry's face was chalky white. I asked him what was the matter and he said: ‘I have done it. [It is all over. Everything is all over.’ I asked him what he meant. He said: ‘I've done it: I’ve taken a bottle of laudanum.’ I thought he was trying to scare me, but he told me where I could find the bottle and he got violently ill.”’ Mrs. Thaw then gave the details of obtaining physicians and the manner in Which they worked over Thaw all night to save his life. Going briefly over the incidents of 1904 in Europe and of Thaw’s repeated of- fers of marriage, the witness said the Wedding finally occurred in Pittsburg in April, 1905, in the presence of her mother and members of Thaw’s family, including his mother. Mr. Littleton here brought out ithe fact that. Thaw and his wife had en- deavored to obtain passage on the same steamer Mrs. William Thaw had taken for Europe the Saturday preceding the Monday on which the tragedy occurred. Unable to do this, they engaged passage on a steamer leaving the Friday after the tragedy. Mrs. Thaw next fook up the events on the evening of the shooting and told of the dinner party at Martin’s—she and Thaw, Truxton Beale and Thomas Mc- Caleb forming the party. Mrs. Thaw was ahout to tell about the note she slipped to Thaw at Mar- tin’s, reading: ‘“‘That B (blackguard) was here, but has gone away again,’’ meaning Stanford White, when the luncheon recess was ordered. The note is said to have been misiaid, but. its contents will be admitted.

WALSH JUROR i x 4 s a . ' al * 1 Don't ° SWEARS HE WAS FORCED TO SIGN _ Last of Twelve to Agree on Verdict Alleges Intimi- dation. OTHERS COERCED HIM Council for Convicted Banker Secures Sworn Statement After Chase. CHICAGO, ill., Jan. 20.—Elbert Pal- mer, the last one of the jurors in the trial of John R. Walsh to affix his signature to a verdict of guilty, today signed affidavits at his home on his ‘farm near Harvard, Ill., which tend to show he was coerced and intimidated By the other jurors. These affidavits, secured by Florence Sullivan and lred D. Kellogg of coun- sel for Mr, Walsh, will be used as the mainstay of defense in the nght to se- cure a reversal of verdict when the case is carried to the United States Court of Appeals. Trail Juror to Home. ‘ Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Kellogg, the lat- ter Mr. Walsh’s private secretary, kept close to Mr. Palmer from the time he Jeft the courtroom in the Federal Build- ing until he reached his home near Harvard. ‘They rode to Harvard on the same train with him. They slept at the Ayres Hotel in Harvard, wher; Mr. Palmer passed the night. They ' drove with Mr. Palmer to his farm. Government secret service men also accompanied Mr. Palmer to Harvard, but returned when the fermer started for his country home. Freed from Gov- ernment espionage, Mr. Palmer talked freely of his experiences in the jury room. He told a story remarkable enough to convince Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Kel- logge that he was whipped into line by methods that broke his will and made him unaccountable for his acts. Juror in Collapse. q When Mr. Palmer arrived at his farm he was in a condition of collapse and Was put to bed by his wife and chil- dren. A physician was called and his condition was said last night to be seri- ous, The sleepless vigil in the jury room for 36 hours following the strain of long trial had been too much for his strength. “Il will tell you it was terrible In thar jury room,” said he. “It was awful. Fhings were said that 1 never would dare repeat.”’ : “Do you mean that you were threat- ened in any way?’ he was asked. “Oh, no; there were no threats,” re. plied Palmer. “I’m no coward. I would have fought the whole bunch single- handed if there ‘ad been any threats made. But you have no idea what lever- age was brought to bear to bring about that verdict. It was all argument, «J! legitimate arguntent, bat it was terrible argument.’’ Walsh Talks of Trial. With this apparently auspicious be- ginning by his attorneys in their fight for a new trial Mr. Walsh expresses confidence that the jury's verdict, finding him guilty, will be set aside en appeal if he does not get a re- hearine before Judge Anderson. While the leaders of his counsel, Attorneys John S. Miller, E. C. Rits- her and S. R. Hamill, were engaged today in serutinizing the record Walsh attended to business affairs and occasionally consulted his attor- neys. ‘There. was no bitterness in his manner as he discussed the trial. “They misjudged human nature,” enid Walsh, “when they decided that the splendid banking institution that I created was as nothing to me as go ges with railroads from which ad no assurance [I could reap an dnent in my lifetime. r. “Hiow to earn, interest for deposits without working their money through investments,” he continued, “is a4 question which I believe these jurors from the country districts never took into consideration. “It is up to the president, as chief of the modern big bank, to decide the methods and wunsoundness of the available investments and securities, If the president makes a mistake it is a question of judgment—his bad judgment—and he should not be ac- cused of intention to defraud unless oo is no other way to explain his 8, : “This was the crucial point tn my case—the question of my. intent in making the Innvestments in railroad securities, There was nothing. jn the case to contradict my testimony that I made larger tnvestments to save the Chicago National Bank from losses on the original small investments, “A law has been invoked against me which had never before been en- forced during all the years it was on the statute book. It is a sort of finan- cial blue law, a penal measure for the regulating of the lilliputian banks of generations ago. The memorandum notes were not nor could they be fraudulent.

At the recent mothers’ convention at Jamestown the meeting was addressed by the venerable Dr. Hartwell, the Southern physician of national reputa- tion. The principal topic of his lecture was the necessity of prompt attention to what most persons neglect, namely, common colds. He stated that three- fourths of the dread diseases of ‘the present day have their origin in com- mon colds. He ‘also stated that his long experi- ence has taught him that the most effective remedy for the quick relici of chronic and acute coughs and colds and throat troubles is pine and ad- vised the use of what is Sain to the profession as Concentrated oil of pine. This is to be used in the following formula: Two ounces of glycerine, one-half ounce Concentrated oi] of pine, half pint of first-class avhiskey; these to be mixed and used in doses of a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful every four hours, shaking the bottle well each time.

Howe's victory rractically insures the election of Taft delegatiors from these districts. The Eleventh and Twelfth district committees met Monday morning and decided to merge their call with that of the Republican City Committee for pri- maries to be held Feb. 20. Under this plan but one set of delegates will be elected to both the State and congres- sional conventions. The same delegates who sit in the State convention to elect delegates-at-large to the National Convention wil later resolve themselves into district conventions and elect dele- gates to the National Convention. Tenth District Meeting. The Tenth District Committee. will meet Monday night at Cherokee Garden to issue its call. As Howe has gained control of the committee it is expected that it will follow the plan which the Eleventh and Twelfth District Commit- tees adopted. Howe galned control of the Eleventh District Committee by winning over George W. Galloway, who, at previous meetings of the committee, voted with the Niedringhaus faction. This gave Howe control of the committee by a vote of five to four. The committee met at Republican City headquarters and quick- ly adopted the Howe plan. Julius Lauf, Henry Sperflage, Dr. Carriea and Jo- seph Polinski, anti-Howe committeemen, bolted the meeting and refused to par- ticipate in the proceedings. Compromise Reported. It is charged by the anti-Howe fac. tion that he won over the Twelfth District Committee by agreeing with Dr. Joseph L. Boehm, it chairman, not to put up opposing delegations in the five wards represerited by the majority members of the committee. These wards are the Fourth, Fifth, Fourteenth, Fif- teenth and TIwenty-fifth. The Howe followers are jubilant. The Niedringhaus followers gathered at,the headquarters of the Republican State Committee. They declared that the calls were iilegal, and that contests would be made. The previous calls for direct primaries were rejected by the Board of Election Commissioners.

When we take into consideration the fact that one out of every seven in this climate die of consumption, is it any wonder that it is feared by’ the people of St. Louis who have weak lungs and ehronie colds and coughs? A famous London physician has for years urged his patients, when the slightest tendency to consumption ap- peared, to take all the cod liver oil possible into their systems, and physi- cians everywhere have recognized its value for coughs, colds, bronchitis, consumption and all wasting diseases, but, unfortunately, few could take -it and derive the full benefit from its use, on account of. the indigestible grease which it contained. We want every person in St. Louis to know the value of our new cod liver preparation, Vinol. It actually contains in a eoneentrated form all of the me- dicinal body-building elements of cod liver oi] actually taken from fresh cods’ livers, without a drop of oil or grease to upset the stomach and re- tard its work. Therefore, wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will do good, Vinel will do far more good. We guar- antee Vinol will improve the appetite, strengthen digestion, make rich, red blood, create strength, cure chronic coughs and colds and strengthen weak lungs If Vinol fails to give satisfaction to our customers, we return money with- out question.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. UST where Representative J, J Hampton Moore was headed for Saturday afternoon is not known, but when he was seen running like a scared deer toward the new Union De- pot a number of newspaper men hurried out of the Capitol and chased him.

He was overtaken just as he was about to enter the big building. “For heavens sake, what is the matter with you?’ asked Moore. “We are trying to find out what fs the matter with you,” replied one of the correspondents. “Nothing at all; I am trying to catch a train that leaves in a minute.

But according to a member who watches events very close- ly the recent thunderous speeches on the penal code is the real reason. “Bourke Cockran and John Wesley Gaines have made such dents in the ceiling,” said one, ‘“‘that it needs imme- diate attention.’’ ¢ there is between the politicians of today and the statesmen of yesterday,” said Representative John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee today. “That is very true,” said Representa- tive Kimball of Kentucky. ‘‘There is a young self-made fellow in my town, Lexington, who is a real power in the Legislature.

They will be held’ by the Brazilian police until after the de- parture of the ships. While many persons in authority scoff at the idea of a plan to blow up the vessels, the Chief of Police in this city has given strict instructions to arrest all known anarchists and suspicious per- sons, Admiral Evans is still confined to his cabin and it is reported he will not go ashore again while the ships remain in Brazil. .

The only complaint Newton Keen of Missouri Point has against a flock of wild geese which keeps his wheat down is that they come after sun down when it is against the law to shoot them. Keen has not had to turn his stock into his wheat fields this winter because the geese have kept the grain from ad- vancing too far. They are an improve- ment over the old expedient of turning the cattle into the field because they do not pull the stocks up by the roots. Several years ago a lake covered the farm which was then called the “Wise Place.”” Since the lake dried up the wild —— —_ BE IT REMEMBERD, that at a meeting of the ‘Republican Congressional District Committee within and for the Eleventh Con- gressional District of. the State of Missouri, held in the City of St. Louls on the 20th day of January, 1008, the following resolution was offered by Whilllam F.

That our American forests abound in plants which’ possess the most valuable medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers of this and other countries. Even the untutored Indians had discovered the useful- ness of many native plants before the advent of the white race. This information, imparted freely to the whites, led the latter to continue investigations until today we have a rich assortment of most valuable American medicinal roots. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y., believes that our American forests abound in medicinal roots for the cure of most obstinate and fatal diseases, if we would properly investigate them, and, in confirmation of this conviction, he points with pride to the most marvelous cures effected by his ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery,’’ which has proven itself to.be the most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart tonic and regulator, and blood cleanser} known to medical science. Dyspepsia, or indigestion, torpid liver, functional and even valvular and other affections of the heart yield to its curative action.

In treating all open sores, or ulcera boils, carbuncles and other swellings, it is important that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery be taken persistently to purify the blood and thereby remove the cause of the trouble. It is in the blood that the great battle of health has to be tought. The ulcer and: the se are simply the scarlet flowers of disease, with roots running down into the blood. These roots must be erad- icated or the disease will break out afresh. “Golden Medical Discovery” cleanses the blood of all foul and isonous aeccumulations, pushes out dead and waste matter, and thus purifies the entire life current. Dis. ease in the flesh must die out when it ia no longer fed by foul blood. “Golden Medical Discovery” effectively cures disease in the flesh by curing its cause in the blood.

Statesman Learns to Eat “Sow- belly’ From “Chuck Wagon” Tail Board.

HAS EXCITING’ TIMé

Amuses Mulhall Cowpunchers, Chases Rabbit and Nar- rowly Escapes Wolf.

Judge James H. Cronin, erstwhile statesman, has just returned from a so- journ of a month on the ranch of Zack Mulhall in Oklahoma. He has gained 32 pounds of good solid flesh, and says he has gone back to his youth. He is what is called a near-cow- puncher; about 5 per cent sourdough and % per cent tenderfoot. He is cal- foused on the inside of his knees from wearing stiff leather chaps and he has the cowpuncher’s rolling walk. Hecan eat “sowbelly” out f the stern of a “ehuck wagon” and drink boiling “‘gul- lion” from a tin cup without stran- ging. As for twirling a .45-caliber re- yolver around his index finger until it looks like a wheel of fortune and sud- denly bringing it to a stop and shoot- ing the eye out of a jack rabbit, he is a wonder. He almost learned to rope, throw and rand a steer—that is. he took lessons n it by watching “‘Buck’’ McGee, one of the cowpunchers, do it, and is al- most entitled to a diploma. The Mulhall ranch comprises 3600 acres, and has a ranch house on it as big and as beautifully furnished as a hotel, with pianolas, bathrooms and push buttons. There Col. Mulhall and his wife and three pretty daughters, Bossie, Lucille and Mildred, dispense a delightful hospitality. The winter months are spent in wolf hunt-. cours- ing jack rabbits and other sports, in- cluding the education of the tenderfoot. Some of the Mulhall horses are re- nowned for their capacity as mirth pro- ducers, with a tenderfoot as party of the second part

HAYWOOD SEEKS PRESIDENCY Would Accept Nomination in Inter- est of Socialists. By Leased Wire From the New York ‘Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—“If nominated for President by the Socialist party,’’ said William D. Haywood, “I would accept the honor in the cause of So- clalism, and for the advancement of the interests of the working people.”’ Haywood made his first appearance before the labor delegates at the Cen- tral Federated Union Sunday, and while the Socialists in that body applauded him heartily, the other delegates did THEORY ON HEALING SORES That it is the healthy people as a rule who have running sores proves it is out- side skin decay and not diseased blood that keeps a sore from healing.

They put me on an animal called Comanche, part horse and part devil, one of those toppy things ‘hat seem to have no use for their front legs; any- how, they’re always traveling on the hind ones. “Well, we started out with the dogs. Everything was going along peacefully, and although I was a bit excited about Comanche, I was not afraid. Then the dogs gave a yap to let us know they had got the scent of a jack. The horses do not have to be told ‘giddap’ when they hear that. They just get down close to the ground and light out. In the first burst of enthusiasm Comanche scrambled over a fence, tried to climb a cottonwood tree, jumped a ravine and slid into a draw andgclawed his way up the other side. I had lost all use for the reins by this time and was holding on to the horn of the sad- die with both hands and hitting the Seat at every jump as if I was driving spikes with a maul. ® : “Comanche beat the jack rabbit to it, and when he stopped I was somewhere down near the Keechi Hills, and night was conting on. When I got back to the ranch about midnight 1 was asked by the mae if I had enjoyed my ride, and when suggested that perhaps Comanche was ‘loco’ they said no, he generally ran away when he was fresh out of the pasture. ; Wolt Almost Bites Him.

We have spent 47 years in learning how best to prepare these beans We cook in live steam, so the beans are not browned, not broken. They are baked until mealy, yet they are nutty. Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees, so the fibre is broken down, and the beans are digestible. The beans, the tomato sauce and the pork are all baked together. Thus we get our delicious blend. Van Camp's pork and baked with tomato sauce Compare them with home-cooked beans. _ Home beans are heavy and hard to digest, because you lack the facilities to apply the needed heat. Some are baked to a crisp; some are less than half baked. : And if you ever compare Van Camp’s with other brands you will see why we advertise. wire;

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY NE of the hopes of Manager James MeAleer of the Browns this year is that among his pitching recruits a left- hander will show enough speed and grit to become a regular on Until sueh a left-handed thrower cat the staff of twirlers. hye added to the staff the Browns will be greatly handicapped in their race for the pennant. McAleer has gathered up four young bloods who are south- ' paws, and they will Browns begin active training at eommand much of his attention when the Shreveport about March 4. He will be pleased if he can discover one among these four who 1s strong enough to bear up under the major league firing. T.ast season the Browns’ leader many times found himself in a hole for lack Of a left-hander. The chances of beat- Ge the Detroit or Chicago clubs is in- ereased many points if one can send in a cracking good southpaw against the heavy-hitting le nik handed batters on these two clubs. Sam Crawford, the Detroit outfielder and slugger, slams every right-hander in the league, but figainst some of the good left-handed fiingers he is tke a baby. Much time and care. was taken in Se- * lecting the four young southpaws who are to join the Browns. Three of them up in the South and one American Association. The from the Bailey, Farris, Graham and men are Kieth. Of these present as worked last looked upon at ihe most promising. He season at Austin in the Texas State League and won 22 games and lost 11. He is a big, strong fellow and is said to be a great ballplayer, as well as a grand pitcher. He has already signed his contract and is anxious and enthusiastic about getting a trial in the big league. Much is expected also of Kieth, al- though this young giant will not be able to get his trial until June, as he is a student at Oxford University in Eng- land. where he holds one of the Rhodes echolarships and will not report until the close of the school year. However, he will be in shape to play ball at once, as he will spend the spring months try- ng to teach the game to his British classmates. Kieth won 14 and lost 8 games with the Little Rock elub last year. Bailey is Graham, who pitched for the Shreve- port club last season, did not make such a handsome record, but acted so well in the game that he was picked as a comer. He won 15 and lost 19 games on a losing team and probably would have done much better with proper backing. Farris of the St. Paul club also had a hard row in the American Associa- ‘tion, but is considered one of the best » sett-handers in the organization. He ‘-Won 13 and lost 18 games with the’ low- ly Saints. McGill, a right-hander from the Texas State League, had a splendid record, having won 15 games and lost but four with the Austin team, and he may prove stron 1g _enough to hold a perma- nent place with the Browns. Fisher, the other recruit, also a right hander, is @ great ballplayer, aside frum his pitch- ing. He won 18 and lost 12 games with the losing Shreveport club last season, and is badly wanted as manager of the Mobile club next season. While McAleer is hoping for aid from one or two of these youngsters in the coming championship race, he is not counting on them to win the pennant. The four veterans, Howell, Powell, Dineen and Pelty, are the ones the Browns’ leader as well as the fans will look up to as soon as the season opens. If a couple of them should hap- pen to have a good year, such as the veteran “Wild Bill’ Donovan did in Detroit last summer, there is no tell- ing how far in the lead the Browns will be when the Ist of October comes around. It is only three or four ‘years ago when Bill Dineen was counted by many to be even greater than Old Cy Young. He was pitching for Boston then and was just about invincible and the Bos- tons won the pennant and the world’s championship. —-—— Jack Powell will be in better shape for the season next spring than he has heen in a half dozen years. There are few who know that this hefty hurler is doing road work in the outskirts of St. Louis now every day and has been since Christmas. He has been in the city but once or twice since the season closed, not even getting down to the bank yet to cash his pay check that Owner Hedges gave him at the close of the season. Powell is determined to have one more great year. Harry Howell can always be counted upon. He is far from reaching the close of his career yet, and looks as healthy and strong as ever. He will continue to throw the spit ball, and he also will get early preparation for’ the coming season. Pelty was handicapped last season be- cause of the injury to his ankle received early in the season, but he promises to do better next season. And by the‘way, there are a lot of ballplayers in the American League who have great re- spect for the pitchi->g of Mr. Pelty. He may not have the speed of Glade nor the curves of Howell, but he has a pile “1 craftiness that wins many games for m.

Raymond admitted that he had been drinking with Mosher in the saloon and that they left together, but denied any knowledge of the alleged theft. Mosher said they were leaving the saloon when the prisoner struck him a blow in the face and knocked him down and then robbed him.

Sanford, Jim Sweeney, Jones, Rodney Pe- ters and Joe Bie crowds attended all of the Soccer League contests Sunday because of the fine weather, and at Kulage and Ath- letic paris witnessed fast contests, where the leading teams, the St. Leos and Innisfails, respectively. won their games and maintained their advantage. The fields were muady, but the play- ers put up an aggressive game all the time in spite of the handicap. In the feature contest at Athletic Park the St. Teresas gave the Innisfails a seare. McNiff and Hoffman worked the ball down to the Innisfails’ goa! about three minutes after the game had started. McNiff shot the leather through for a goal, giving the St. Teresas the lead. Pegg shortly afterwards booted the ball through the St. Teresa’s goal and in the second half repeated, giving A shot from the 15-yard lire by John Miller near the end of the second half saved the St. Leos from a tie with the North Ends in the second game at Kulage Park, the score at the time being tied 2 to 2. The St. Leos were leading 2 to 0 at the end of the first half, the North Ends being unable to hold their feet in the slippery mud. In the second half the teams changed goals and the North Ends scored two goals, tying the score. Jack Tully, goal tender for the St. Leos, was ordered out of the game in the second half because he objected to some of Referee McSweensys deci- sions. Jim Flynn of the St. Leos was given a chance to boot the ball on a penalty kick near the end of the game. He failed and the North End rooters sent up a great yell, as there was still some few minutes left to play, and they hoped that the North Ends might yet tie the score.

It is a nerve racking torture, and so thoroughly does it dominate the System, when it becomes entrenched in the blood, that its victims are usually complete slaves to pain. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood brought on by stomach troubles, weak kidneys, indigestion, and a sluggish condition of the system. The natural refuse of the body, instead of passing off through the ordinary channels of waste, is left to sour and ferment in the system because of these irregularities, forming uric acid which is absorbed into the blood, and Rheumatism gets a foothold. As the blood circulates through the body it deposits the acrid, irritating substances with which it is saturated, into the different muscles, nerves, tissues and bones. Sharp, biting pains commence, the flesh becomes feverish, swollen and tender, the muscles and joints throb and jerk, and the body is literally racke with pain. Plasters, blisters, lini- ments, etc., can never cure the disease; they relieve the pain, perhaps, temporarily, but do not reach the trouble, which is in the blood.

“FIRST IN EVERYTHING.”

INTERPRETING A MAN FROM ILLINOIS. When the Republican editors of Missouri in- vited Lieut.-Gov. Sherman of Illinois to address ithem they made sure of one speech that would be conservative enough to make any hunker or mossback feel unctious. Mr. Sherman bears all the signs and tokens of _ Republicanism. His label is large and distinct. His party regularity is unquestioned. If worst _ comes to worst, he can stand anything that any other Republican can stand. He has held office for some years as a Republican, and the belief is that he always votes a straight ticket. Yet the bent of the gentleman’s mind is such that only a slight change of place or circum- stance or possibly of interest would be needed - to make him an unterrified Democrat of the school which never learned anything new and never forgot anything old. If the American revolution- ary fathers had been of this type there would have been no war for independence and no con- stitution of the United States. Mr. Sherman’s ardent appeal in behalf of con- servatism at the St. Joseph meeting must be interpreted in the light of certain facts. There is no immediate danger that the Republican party will adopt the red flag as its emblem or that its members will parade the streets with pikes and mob caps, and breath employed in entreating that organization to deal generously with wealth is most positively wasted. But Mr. Sherman despises Populists and Social- ists, and he cannot fail to view with alarm the words and deeds of a certain powerful genile- man who resides officially in a white mansion on the bank of the Potomac. With this ex- planation the Lieutenant-Governor’s admonitions to the Republican brethren of Missouri take on cannot fail to make them highly edifying to all who are in- clined to maintain peace in the family. i Lin ir a. a

OLD SAWBONES IS GETTING READY. . Rixey, who, in a sense, is the commander- in-thief of the navy—he is the President’s physi- clan—is exceedingly modest in the first request that he makes of Congress. The good doctor not only insists that naval surgeons shall command hospital ships, but he now makes it clear that the United States must have hospital ships that a first-class doctor will not be ashamed to command. His first tentative Eeestion in this line is that. Congress appro- Mate $1,500,000 for one such vessel. Of course, great fleets of battleships worth $5,000,000 each are constructed for a purpose, and that purpose undeniably is war. If war must be, hospital ships follow naturally and logically and the more efficient they are the better, for we cannot expect to go to war without getting hurt. If the professional way in which Commander- in-Chief Rixey goes about this clinic does not take some of the militarism out of our blood nothing else will. The surgeon usually comes in at the heels of a war party, but in this in- stance he is leading the procession. it * — CHOKING THE CHANNEL WITH WORDS. When asked what was holding up the report of the Inland Waterway’s Commission, Chairman Theodore E. Burton replied: “The mature consideration of every section, every paragraph and every line of the report— that is what is holding it up. spend a great deal of time in discussing the mere phraseology.” No better illustration of how the Mississippi River propaganda is being swamped could be had. It is being swamped with mere phraseology, and phraseology that is meaningless for all pur- poses except as an excuse for delay. In the “con- servation” schemes and measures of the New- lands, the Burtons and the WJ. McGees there is enough phraseology to fill up the Mississippi and the Panama Canal to boot, and the plan is to temporize with it word by word. ss. A er rer SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR. Mr. Cortelyou denies the report that he has resigned, but it is to be noted, whether his res- ignation is immediately effective or not, that

To have a position at hand paying more than that held by Ofe’s antagonist who invites one into the street iy indeed worth while. And yet there are people who will wonder how close must be the connection between a Secre- ary of the Treasury and New York’s banking in- | to make it worth their while to pay him a salary that he is not likely to earn. = = — a oe. 6 had to give way to stupor-

MEN AND ISSUES. Mr. Bryan has dominated the Democratic party for so long a time that he sometimes appears to assume the attitude of command toward his fellow citizens.in general. Thus in discussing issues he speaks as one having authority not only to commit his own party, but to limit the activities. of all parties. “Government ownership of railways will not be an issue in the coming campaign,” he said the other day with the air of a man who was finally disposing of a question. It is well to remember that the great issues which have divided the American people have not been forced by any man. No man has made the issues, but the issues have made many a man. Mr. Bryan owes his present conspicuity to an issue of which he was but an humble advo- cate. Free silver was not hit upon by him. Mr. Bryan was hit upon by free silver. Most of the time since 1896 Mr. Bryan has been assorting, labeling, advancing and retiring issues, but if he lives to be a hundred, and we hope he will, it is not probable that he will ever again be identified with another issue as he was with that which called for the free and unlimited coin- age of cheap silver dollars. That was the issue that adopted him, and he and it will be as- sociated forever. While leaders, no matter how eminent, do not hand issues ready made to their countrymen and do not govern political discussion or circum- scribe the meditations of the people, they do by loose and hasty utterance fix their own public character in the minds of the people. Mr. Bryan has no more power to say that government owner- ship will not be an issue this year than he has to forbid the discussion of his personal qualifica- tions for the presidency. One way in which government ownership can be forced into the coming campaign, not as an issue indeed, but as an argument in favor of the election of a Republican candidate, will be to make Mr. Bryan the nominee of the Demo- crats. He has committed himself to that lurid experiment in State socialism. It will not be an issue. It will be a club which Republicans will use to beat the life out of the Democratic party. So it is with many other ideas for which in his exuberance the gentleman from Nebraska has made himself responsible. He and his platform may advance what issues they will; the people who in fact make the issues in this country will go directly to fhe first principles of things and they will pin Mr. Bryan down to them in a manner that may not be highly agreeable to him. Presidential campaigns are not pillow fights, and candidates, particularly perpetual candidates, are not usually suffered to march through them cn dress parade, selecting their own battle grounds and moving first upon one line and then upon another as the humor may seize them. There is fighting on both sides and many an offensive demonstration has been forced to as- sume the defensive in short order and so has continued to the end. This happened to Mr. Bryan in 1896, when he had a real issue, and it happened to him again in 1900, when he had a self-made issue. He and his followers were on the run from the first. They forgot their carefully planned issues and devoted such time as they could spare from flight to hasty defense, explanation and apology. Why should a great party deliberately undertake such another footrace to the rear, and what but notoriety and lecture receipts has Mr. Bryan to gain by such a repetition? There is no sign at present of a burning issue for 1908. The renomination of Mr. Bryan will merely invite the people to pass judgment upon their own judgment.. In such a- campaign we need not doubt that there will be prodigies of traye] equally true that nobody will be in suspense for an hour as to the result. Either Gov. Johnson of Minnesota or Gov. Folk of Missouri, if nominated at Denver, would at least enable the Democratic party to move for- It would not be necessary to fight from convention hall to ballot box in the old battered and slippery trenches.

+ >. va WHEN COL. SNELL SWORE. In the effort to set aside the will of Col. Tom Snell it has been deemed worth while to show that in the closing years of his life he would relapse suddenly from a pious and penitential mood into one of extreme wrath and profanity. A clergyman testified that on one occasion he was called to the bedside of the Colonel when the latter believed himself to be at the point of death. The invalid was in tears and his con- trition for past errors was so great that he was unable to find anything in his long life of money- getting that he could look back upon with pleasure. In the course of the conversation the name of an enemy of the dying man was mentioned and immediately Jis whole demeanor changed. His rage was ungovernable and his oaths were un- printable. Singularly enough, his health improved from that instant and, forgetting al) about dying, he also forgot his desire for the consolations of religion. There have been such characters as this before, some of them in higher stations than that occu-

pied by Col. Snell. The same enmmtional tempera- ment which, when unrestrained, leads a man into violent outbursts of passion, might under proper discipline make him a zealous religionist. It is evident that the ministers of the gospel did not get hold of Col. Snell early enough. Properly trained, he would have exhorted like a saint in- stead of swearing like a pirate. Familiar incidents in the lives of Ethan Allen, whose oaths were as terrible as his sword; An- drew Jackson, whose breath sometimes seemed tc be flavored with sulphur, and even Joseph G. Cannon of our own day, whose lightest “cuss” word produces a great calm in the House of Representatives, teach us that profanity is an art as well as an exceedingly bad habit.

To the Editor of tha Post-Dispatch. I would like to suggest that Officer Louis Schetb- ley of the Tenth District, who shot the highwayman on West Belle place be asked whether there are any more at home like him and if so, that he trot them out, as they are the sort of material of which good officers are made. Of ‘course, promotion only re- moves a good officer to some snap position, but it is a pity that he cannot be rewarded and still kept in his present rank, as he surely deserves all that is coming to him. E. W. BINGHAM, 4406 West Belle place. Would Farmers Take Them Now? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like to suggest to Mr. James Eads How that he send his ‘‘unemployed’”’ to the country. Farmers complain much and say they can't keep help, for love or money. They would be glad to make a bargain with a man for a year, but it can’t be done. It’s the cry all over the country, “We can't keep help.’’ Enough provisions would be raised to bring prices down to half what they now are, and ought to be. MRS. MORAN, Tamm avenue. Work for Many. To the Editor of the Posi-Dispatch. Your paper has great influence in bringing about great and important improvements in all matters of general interest. Why not use it to ‘‘boost’’ the building of the new Public Library? The site is practically ready. Why not push it along at once and thereby help to furnish employment for some of the many idle men, both mechanics and laborers? Why is it that it is not already under way? Is not the money waiting to be used? Every little bit helps in these’ dull times, and the library building would help considerably to relieve hard times. I think your support might help it along. JAMES N. SYMONS. Experiments With Fenders. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A committee appointed by the West End Business Men’s Association has had several meetings with the object of devising ways and means of procuring a fender or device when attached to the street cars that will prevent a body, large or small, when struck by a street car from. being crushed to death under its wheels. At our last meeting held in my office, 3512 Easton avenue, over fifteen inventors were pres- ent with models or drawings of fenders and other de- vices, that they claim will protect the lives of the citizens from being crushed beneath the wheels of the Transit company’s cars and the cost per car would be only from $6 to $30. The intention of the committee is to use one of the Municipal cars run- ning north to the settling basins, some time in April in testing the various inventions now in the market and ready for use, P. T. MADDEN, Chairman of Committee. Power of Milk Inspectors. To the Bultor ot the Post-Diapatch, I have read your editorial of the 15th inst., en- titled, “How to Get Pure Milk,”’ with interest and confess a doubt as to the practicability of the reme- dy therein suggested, i. e., that the City of St. Louis should send its inspectors into Illinois, there to exer- cise the power of inspection granted by them*in the ordinance of St. Louis (which is a law of Missouri) for the following reasons: Such inspectors would have no legal authority, merely by virtue of such law of Missouri, to exercise their statutory powers in III} nois. If they should attempt so to do, they might be subjected to all kinds of legal attack. If, how- ever, the State of Illinois should legislatively recog- nize the powers of such inspectors, as conferred by the ordinance, your proposition *vculd be practicable. Doubtless, in your illustration of milk Inspection in the cities of New York and Chicago, the particular places where the power of inspection is exercised, lie within the territorial limits of the same power which hes legislative control of those cities respec- tively. Again, shippers of milk from Illinois to» Mis- sourt can claim the protection of the commerce clause of the Federal Constitution with respect to shipments in the original vessels, even if such ves- sels shall have come into, and be in, Missouri and it would be impossible thus to exclude from Missouri impure milk thus shipped from <llinois. But the mo- ment such milk is poured from the vessels of soip- ment in Missouri, then the power of the Missouri in- spector may be exercised. Therefore, as a practical matter, the power of inspection can be made as. et- fective in this State as if exercised at the source of

“O, FOR

SCENIC ST. LOUIS. If Sunday is fair in St. Louis, and you don't want to go too far, and you haven't an automobile, there is just one thing to do—go out and see the beauti- ful homes that you can't have one like. There is no lake to see, as there is at Chicago. Nobody looks at the river. As the ladies say, the hardships of a trip to the Art Museum are great, and the rewards small. The police could probably tell you where to find the bronze tablets marking local historical spots, but you can’t find the police. For- est. Park is .ne, but the fauna and flora are largely deciduous. You couldn't give much toward building the new church, and you are ashamed to go around reg- ularly. to see how that is coming on. So you take one more turn through Westmoreland place, Portland place, Washington terrace, and other exclusive boulevards which are the show places of St. Louis. You move along in a pro cession of flat-dwellers, gocarts, Tuxedos and sidewalk courtships. You look at the marble, the red granite and the gray brick. You mark the port cocheres, the garages and the immaculate stoops. You point out the mansion like the one you would have, identify the Colonial and the old English, and wonder where they got it. The gaping crowds probably do em- barrass the rich people a bit, but tho flattery more than off-sets the annoy ance. You see them peering at you through the leaded glass and the rubber plants. Now and then a butler comes out of a side door wearing the kind of clothes you had once, and only once— when you got married. Beautiful Lim- ousines stand at the curbs, with a Sene- gambian smoking cork-tip Murads and wearing buttons to match. It is all beautiful. It makes you ambitious—fo~ the time—and in the absence of anything else to see, you never tire of it. It has been said that the display of fine homes in St. Louis is the finest in America. No wonder. Where else may the rich build their costly piles and have them so exclusively admired? There is absolutely nothing to divide the honors with them. If you don’t go out and look at them, you st&y home and look at the walls, with a framed print here and there, the French clock that was a wedding present, and the case of books you are buying on the installment

don’t want to see more flats. So you tro: right along with the rest of the flai-dwellers, the gocarts, the Tuxedos. and the sidewalk courtships. You see the towers, and the piNars—and your finish. After awhile you go home thoughtfully, and your own humble domicile looks like a dog house.

A PROFESSOR’S BUGS. From the Philadelphia Inquirer, To persons whose tastes run rather to potatoes than to science it will seem that Prof. Tower of the University of Chicago might have put his talents and energy to better u: than the evolution of new varieties of potato bugs. But that’s the wavy with scientists. Their theories are more important to tl.em than any amount of damage that may follow the effort to prove them. The common or garden variety of po- tato bug (Doryphora decemlineata) is quite enough for ordinary people and a little too mueh for the agriculturists who have to contena with him, but Prof. Tower has developed a number of new forms, all with abnormal appetites for potatoes, and claims to have proved a great theory of evolution thereby.

WHY GO TO CONGRESS? From the Louisville Courier-Journal, ‘There is a place in Washington,” says a correspondent, “where an old- fashioned fried chicken,. cream gravy and hoecake dinner may be had for $1." . Statisticians have never tried to estimate the number of places in Ken- tucky where that sort ef a meal may be had at the invitation of the farmer whose hospitality doesn’t balk at a book agent or an umbrella mender, albeit his fare is fit for a king. FOR EMERGENCIES. From the Wall Street Journal. A banking’ reserve is for use, not merely for show. It is for use in times of emergency. Yet some bankers look upon their reserves very much as the superintendent of a hospital regarded its emergency bed. A patient all banged up in an accident was brought to the hospital one night and was told that there was no room for him. “Why not put him in the emergency bed?” it was suggested. “If we put him in the emer- gency bed,” it was replied, “then we would have no emergency bed.”

MONDAY, JANUARY

CHAPTER I. The Girl He Love T was the last Tuesday in April and | next to the last day, of the month. The eagerly awaited spring come early to the winter-worn, grippe harried people of the city. So early that in its tiny private, iron-fenced enclosure everything buddable had budded; small almond plants had rushed madly into pink flushed bloom, and the big four- story and basement brown-stone house, that seemed somehow to dominate the park with a certain stately ugliness, found its hard brown face all adrip with the pendulous, amethystine glory of a riotuous wistaria vine. There were other houses in that old- time place that supported the somewhat ragged and slovenly growths of Wis- taria for the sake of their springtime glory, but not one that burst the bonds and threw aside the cerements of win- try dews so early; and neighboring resi- dents were wont to say: “The old Keith Wistaria is out; now ours will bloom shortly.” Save for the vine the old Keith man- sion had for years been changeless, @X- pressioniess as the face of a trained diplomat. * The house was occupied nearly the vear round by old Prof. Keith and the young Dr. Keith, his grandson. Yet there were those living near who were so impressed with its stony {mmobility that they doubted should the old man pass away whether the stately double door would yield its silver handle to the black swathing of crape that would seem such a vulgar public expression of changes within. A. GRIM HOUSEHOLD. Rack in the sunny extension, beyond the two dim drawing rooms, old Prof. Keith and his grandson, Philip, were breakfasting together, for what would be the last time for several months. To- morrow would be Dr. Philip’s wedding day. The Doctor was operating a French drip coffee pot, and Prof. Keith, rest- ing one arm heavily on the table watched him ftently, as if he was studying a familar face under a new, strange light. ) His eyebrows, strong and black, in odd contrast to his white hair, had a Mephistophelan lift to the outer corners and a disconcerting trick of racing rap- idly, malevolently up and down, above his dark eyes. His nose, the feature he had seen reappear without had

ent, works for the future, and {ignores utterly the past. Active, alert, capable of intense con- centration, physically unacquainted with suffering of any kind. Philip was often found lacking in sympathy by his pa- tients, who yet willing trusted them- selves to his knowledge and skill. He had lived a remarkably clean and tem- perate life for a youth so free to “gang his ain gaite.” True, his grandsire had warned, harangued and lectured him; but when did an enthusiastic sower of wild oats hold his hand at wisdom’s word? Philip’s crop of wild oats had indeed been sparse and comparatively harmless, and today he looked a man with the right to marry a pure girl. Suddenly the old man’s brows ceased working up and down; comprehension shone in his dark eyes, “VANITY?” “Humph!’’ he grunted. “You have shaved off your beard! What's that fer —vanity ?’’ ashe Doctor laughed and passed his hand over his smooth cheek, and an- swered: _ “No, sir, that was not my motive. You will admit, I am sure, that a woman should have a chance to gee the face of the man she is about to marry.’’ “Humph! I .:ought it was for wom- an that you grew that great beard of a Turk?’ “Women, Grandad, for cantankerous, elderly women who would not accept the medical services of any smooth-faced boy. woman a strong beard is the direct re- sult of profound knowledge and _ im- mense experience. Now, however, that my practice is secure, hereafter I shall brazenty meet the world bare-faced, or nearly so’—he corrected, drawing out the ends of a handsomely curving mus- tache. “And I'll silence my old women by telling them I have shaved for pure- ly hygienic reasons.’’ “Who takes charge of your practice during your absence?” “Oh, Jones, of course. He’s a clever fellow in spite of his eccentricities, and I am sure we shall do well when we join forces in the fall. You must take a look, now and then, at the new of- fices, sir. Patnters are at work in them now. Page, hand the professor his coffee.

But, my boy, you are affectionate and loyal rather than pas- sionate or poetic, and science is the real the effusive lover has merged into the silent, thoughtful husband—what then? I tell you, Philip, you do not realize the very exceptional quality of Miss Cuyler’s beauty. Your masculine van- ity, the triumph of quick conquest, the nearness Of possession, all blur your usual clearness of vision. But I—I, who am old and cold and critical—I am amazed at it! You smile—eh? ‘‘Miss Cuyler is pure and sweet and unassuming now, but beauty. dominates its possessor as well as its adorers. It can only live and thrive on adulation to continuously speak of it. A woman takes nothing for granted, Philip, and when beauty finds general, simple com- pliment begin to pall—she may give ear to amorous compliment as well. In three years from now your Daphne will be an imperially lovely woman that you can only protect from the world by the buckler of your spoken love—spoken, assume in marrying beauty instead of an ordinary woman, who could be treat- ed in the ordinary way by a practical, well-meaning husband. “OLIVE!” “There, now, I have given my warn- ing and said my say. After tomorrow Miss Cuyler will be your wife and se- cure from further comment. Under- stand, Philip, there is no blame to be attached to her in anyway, it is no fault of hers that she is set aside from idol of your life; so, by and by, when } sir, spoken!—that is the obligation you,

The old man drew out a fountain pen and a visiting card and dashed across it a line, which Philip read aloud: “All happiness to my dear granddaughter, Daphne Cuyler Keith’—just as Mrs. Clutterbuck, the cook, entered to ask if all was well with the breakfast, and she broke into a howl of protest. BAD OMENS. “Oh, the bad luck of calling a bride- to-be by the new name before it's given her by the man of God's own lips! Oh, the pity of it, Mr. Philip! And she the beautiful creature the photo shows her. What, pearls too? For the love of God, are these men trying to see how many bad omens they can put upon the poor young thing’s wedding! Pearls for tears, and calling her out of her name, too. I’m glad the responsibility {is not on me for such doings.” “Clutterbuck,” said the professor, ‘you look after the house—we’'ll stand for the omens.”’ And while the woman still stood pleating her white apron, the doctor clapped on his hat, caught up his precious package and his gloves, and with a bright “Good morning, sir,” was at the doors and through them before old Page had reacHed the mid- dle of the hail, meaning to open them for him. As he was about to enter the cab, ordered the night before, he paused and looked up a moment, and noted the cold and stately reserve of the old house, that was but faintly soft- ened by the drooping amethystine blossoms of the bronzy-green vine, and a light sprang into his cool blue eyes as he thought “When Daphne comes here to reign the old house will blossom inside as well as out,” and jumped into the cab and began his dash about the city. Four o'clock found him dropping into an easy chair in the parlor of a pretty flat whose windows overlooked a bit of Central Park, and gladly ac- cepting a cup of tea from the hand of the frail shadow of a woman he called Cousin Marr. They had _ discussed some small business matters and with grateful tears she was thanking him for his unceasing’ care of her and hers, “IT thought it strange that my hus- band, Keith Marr, should burden so young a man as you’ were, Philip, barely 21, with our affairs. But he was wise and clear of vision, and how faithful you have been to our inter- ests! I am very happy to feel, Philip, and to be assured that in your new happiness you will not forget my Ht- tle one, in case my life should flicker out Suddenly. No, no, dear friend, I have no special cause for fear, only the end cannot be far off now, and when I am gone Olive will be alone in the world.” “OLIVE, MY WARD.” “Not while I am alive, Cousin Marr! The professor is also very fond of do you think she would consent to her presence?” 2 “Do you think,” interrupted the Dr - tor, “that she is too cold-hearted not to welcome to her home her husband's orphan ward? Ah, you do not know my Daphne! Have no anxiety there. The home of Daphne shall be also the home of Olive if need be. Where is the little one? I suppose the diphtheria scare is over now. When do the girls return to school?’ “Monday, [ believe,” answered ~Irs. Marr. “‘And they will have to cram like geese if they are to make any show at commencement.”’ “I hope Olive is not going to over- exert herself?’ “I don’t know. Dear me! I don’t rec- ognize the child these last few weeks. She has grown so irritable and provok- ing, and cries at a word, or even a look. She adores rou, but the announcement of your coming marriage seems to have turned her into a little spitting, hissing, back-arched cat.’’ “Oh, that’s nonsense!” he objected, lightly. ‘“‘Wait until she cuddles into this chair with me and investigates my pockets. You will see the child un- changed.”’ And just then a thin, sallow-faced girl with hair in a heavy pig-tail and wearing an ankie-length skirt that plain- ly showed where a tuck had recently been let out, sprang into the room with a cry of rapture, rushed toward the Doctor—only to stop suddenly and offer a limp hand, with a muttered “How do yc: do?’ and during the next 20 min- utes she proved herself a very porcupine abristle, and every quill and inunendo, an impertinence of a gaucherie. “What on earth alls the child?’ he wondered. A GIRL’S CAPRICE. Unce her brown eyes glowed with a golden light for a moment, when she saw the slender bangle-bracelet of turn quoise flowers he offered her. But at the term “consolation gift’’ she drop; 1 it, saying childishly, “It would take more than that to console me for be- ing altogether forgotten.”’ Suddenly she broke out accusingly: “You did not want us even to know how beautiful your Miss Cuyler is; but Mr Belden called—just a stiff, got-to-do-it call on mamma-—and he sald Miss Cuy- ler was a friend of his and that she was the loveliest woman outside of Para- dise. And I asked him how he knew and he said’—— “Olive?’’ entreated her mother. But the girl went sullenly on: “He said he had made a lifelong study of the comparative beauty of women, and so he knew.” “What the deuce did the man mean by such rot?” exclaimed Philip. “Well,” persisted Olive, “how beauti- ful is she then—the one you're going to marry? Tell me that.’’ ‘“‘Why, like thousands of other wom- en. She has a straight, strong body, a | ery man secks in a woman he ov the beauty of perfect health.” : JEALOUSY. - child’s angular body shrank as from «a blow; her sallow, sickly face quivered all over. The doctor, who could have unintentionally wounding speech, fose to take his departure, and as he had always done he lifted her resistleas lit- tle face and dropped a good-by fklas upon her lips, then stood in mute ment, for the child was dyed with one great agonizing blush, that seemed toe scorch over neck and ear, over cheek and brow, and she Ic»xked at him with the eyes of an insulted woman. : “Why, Olive—tittie Olive!” he stam- mered, then turned and left the room. As he re-entered the cab he suddenly recalled his grandfather’s words: “Your girl-child of 15 is the physical equa! of a male of 18 or 2.” “By Jove, granddad was right! he said, uncomfortably. “Ah, well? Jn another 24 hours . ahpne and I will be on the ocean.

LAW FORBIDDING. | SHIT TRANSFER | DECLARED VOID Federal Judge McPherson Grants Injunction to Mis- souri Railways.

COURT SCORES CRITICS

Men Too Often Decry Power of the Nation and Tribu- nals, He Declares.

\NSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 20.—Judge Smith McPherson, in the United States District Court here today, declared un- constitutional the statute passed by the Missouri Legislature in 1907, forbidding foreign corporations from transferring’ suits brought against them from the State to the Federal courts, under pen- alty of forfeiture of their charters. The application of the Rock Island, Santa Fe, Kansas City & Colorado, the Milwaukee & St. Paul, and the Chicago & Alton Railway companies for an in- junction to prevent John E. Swanger, Secretary of State, from enforcing the law was granted by the Court. Federal Judge Attacked. When the Legislature passed the law last winter, Judge Philips of the Fed- eral Court in Kansas City was at- tacked by legislators as a friend of the corporations. It was declared in debate that railroads seldom lost suits in his court and that he, a short time before, had accompanied railroad officials on a pleasure trip to the Southwest. The powerful railroad lobby in Jefferson City favored the substitution of the law now declared void for a law, then pro- posed, to compel foreign corporations to incorporate in Missouri before being al- lowed to do business. Judge McPherson quotes freely from previous decisions. Under the law on which today’s decision is based the for- eign railway corporation which trans- fers a suit from the State to the Federal court without the consent of the other party is to forfeit its charter for five vears and be fined not less than $2000 and not more than $10,000 for each of- fense in violating the order of the Sec- retary of the State. The provisions also apbly when suit is begun in the Federal Court without written consent of the other side. Discusses State Rights. Officers of the State, continued Ji’ McPherson in his decision, too often decry the power of the Nation. “Stute » yights is their shibboleth,’’. he added. “The most attractive argument to some lawyers of recent days is that the State courts alone, in the first instance, should pass upon the question as to the valid- ity of. State statutes, with the right of the defended party to carry the case fer final decree to the Supreme Court of the Inited States. Such arguments are plausible, are convincing to many good people, but are so dangerous as te amount to a heresy. It is the extreme of “State Rights’ in a new form.” Judge McPherson cited a decision of the Wisconsin State Supreme Coury which upheld a State statute under which an insurance company’s charter had been revoked for removing a case to a Federal court. In this case, however, he says, the company had no property in the State, and had m-de no investments therein. “In the case at bar,’’ he says, “a HU- cense to do business is not the question. Fach of the companies invested millions of dollars, and it is now in the State and cannot remove. To prevent it from doing business means appropriating its property, or destroying it, without mak- ing any compensation therefor. It was invited to come into the State, and was told by the laws then in force that it should have the same and like sianding as resident companies, with benefits as great, and with burdens no greater. After these investments had been mad>, and which cannot be withdrawn, it is declared by legislation that no kind of litigation shall be carried on by ii in any court other than the State courts, but leaving to the railway corporation organized under the laws of the State, to go to the national courts with its litigation of all kinds arising under the laws or Constitution of the United States. The State corporation, orgar- ized under its laws, may sue or be sued in any court, State or national, if there is a federation question, but a foreign corporation doing business as a com- petitor must at all times be subject to the State courts; or, if it ventures into — court, then all investors lost 4 In his conclusion, tte Judge says the “statute is void as being in conflict with the National Constitution, In that it is repugnant to the. provision which reads: ‘No State shall pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts.’ ” PETERS SHOE CO.’S ORDERS BETTER THAN LAST YEAR. The Peters Shoe Co. reports a sub- stantial gain in volume of orders re- celved since the company's salesmen resumed traveling after the holidays as compared with the same time last year. Only two days since the salesmen re- sumed traveling have shown a los in orders, and during the week just passed every day showed a good gain. This house sells to the best class of mer- chants generally, who naturully are the first to feél the revival of business.

There is no question, however, but that trade conditions are rapidly themselves. righting
