Ohio has just passed a law requiring a dealer in intoxicating liquors as a beverage to pay a license fee of $1,000. The candidates for the Indiana legislature are being asked tor an expression upon such a law for this state. From the stand of Governor Hanly in the past lie would be expected to favor such a law if passed by the legislature, but the Prohibition party of the State would probably oppose such a move on account of their opposition to license of every kind. They hold that the principle of license is wrong. The temperance people of the Republican and Democratic parties would favor the high license as a practical measure against the liquor business.
-wV I A thoughtful and conservative citizen who is thoroughly informed upon current events remarked a few days ago to a representative of this paper, that he could not but be impressed with the great ado being made over the fact that here and there high public officials were enforcing the law against dishonest officers and other grafters. He was re-, terring particularly to President Roosevelt, Gov. Polk, of Mis-: souri, and Hanly, of Indiana,' State's Attorney Jerome and others who have recently attracted attention by the rigid discharge of official duty. He said that the praise which was being bestowed upou such officers for doing their duty led one to wonder if the strict performance of official duty was so rare as to justify so much ado about it He though it should

HAS NEVER
FAILED TO CURE
E.W.ROSE MEDICINE CO., St. Louis, Mo. HAHRISBUHG. III., May 12th, 1905. DEAK SIHS: Believing that, '-ZEMO" saved my arms, if not my life, I will gladly tell all eufferers from eczema what your good medicine did forme. I suffered six years from a torturing case of itching eczema of both arms. I tried ei^ht different doctors, and every eczema cure I could hear of without relief. The disease grew worse and spread to my neck and breast my arms had great holes eaten in them 1 soon became an invalid and was confined to my bed part of the time. My husband bought a bottle of "ZEMO" the first application stopped the itching, and I began to improve in six weeks and one day the disease had disappeared, and my arms were clean and smooth as my picture will show, before and after using "ZEMO." Myarms were so bad some of my friends wanted me to have them taken off, but I would not agree. I am now entirely cured and have gained ton pounds in weight, and feel better than have felt in many years. I consider ray quick recovery by using "ZEMO" nothing short of a miracle. I will gladly answer all inquiries ... 7O /vv and recommend "ZEMO" to all persons suffering from /'Tl/L/j, any itching skin disease. Tours gratefully, Jf

be the common rule and not the the wonderful exception for officers, not only pledged but sworn to do their duty, to do such duty. There is good food for thoughtful meditation in the suggestion.
If the money of the policy holders of many of the large insurance companies which seems to have been squandered in the interest of the officers of the company is required to be paid back, many of the policy holders who have been carrying policies in tnese companies will surely protit by the transaction. Life insurance is a good thing and there are very few conditions of men in which it does not pay to carry life insurance, but there are many evidences that life insurance has been wasting too much money or then the returns upon policies should be greater. Everything surely indicates that there will soon be s)me great reforms in life insurance business.

The rule of "the straight and narrow way that few travel" applies to politics as much as to the ordinary things of life. The idea that "everything is fair in politics" is erroueous. Politics shouldr and could be conducted just honestly as other business.

VARIA IVANOVNA'S VENGEANC
[Original.]
At a cafe in one of tlie principal boulevards ot' Paris sat Aleksei Lukiteh, a Russiau gentleman, twirling his inns taches. He had good reason for se'f congratulation. High in favor with thcczar, he had long been employed in the work of hunting down certaiii persons suspected by H. I. M. He had just followed one of hi* master's bitterest enemies to Paris, secured his arrest and, by permission of the French government, was on the morrow to ta' him to Russia.
A gentleman and lady entered the cafe and glanced at the occupants, and the woman, who was veiled, seeing Lukiteh, though he did not notice her, said something to her companion, and they took seats directly opposite the Russian. When for the first time he looked at her his eyes -ested upon her curiously. "I will trouble you, m'sieu, to cease your insulting stare," said the woman's companion.
The Russian apologized, but the other grew more and more violent till it •^•fis evident that he was intending to force a quart-el. His insults came s# thick that there was but one recourse for Lukiteh—he tossed his card at the man and turned his back. Meanwhile the lady had retired to a distance, and her escort, having produced his own card, joined her.
Day was dawning arid the bells of Paris at a distance were striking the hour of 4 when two carriages, soon followed by a third, drew up in a road In the environs and a party-from eaeb passed to an open space beside stream. The man who the night be fore had forced the quarrel advanced to Lukiteh and said: "Permit me, m'sieu, to "Apologize for my insulting language last night, or, rather, to explain it. Early In the evening a lady asked me to escort be*" In a round of visits to the restaurant* In a search for some one she wished find. When she saw you she asked me to take the course I did, promising that the affair should be taken off my hands. M'sieu, I have the honor to present your real antagonist."
A figure, smaller than the others present, who had been standing back, advanced, threw aside a cloak and revealed that she was a woman. She was dressed in a tight fitting costume, with a short skirt, such as girls wear In a gymnasium. The moment Lukiteh •aw her he started. "Varia!" he exclaimed: "Varia Ivanovna, at your service, Aleksei Lukiteh." "What does tWs mean?" he asked a tone that indicated he knew li meant a good deal to him. "That the day of vengeance has come." s?"»
,r
The others of both parties drew near, Intent on this strange turn in the affair. The woman continued: "You are a faithful servant of your master. Aleksei Lukiteh. He rewards you for your service to him it is my part to punish you for your treachery to me. You made love well, Aleksei. go well that you won my heart. Yon had fine revolutionary sentiments, so fine that they won my confidence and I revealed our purposes to you. Do you see these shrunken cheeks, tbes?. prematurely white hairs? Well, these come from prison life in Siberia, where you sent me. It was during those bitter days in that dark wintry country that I conceived this purpose, ant? every day, except when I took part in a hunger strike in which we were trying to end our sufferings by death, I renewed my vow of vengeance. That vengeance was to have been murder. I have changed it to death in an honorable way in the eyes of the world. On guard!"
The woman spoke as though not for a moment did she doubt the issue of the combat. To her enemy her words seemed prophetic. The hand in which he held his sword trembled.
Then he saw a throng of wretched creatures, emaciated, starved, covered with prison filth, white from the shadow in which they lived, gathering about him and their champion. Their eyes glistened as those of wolves hungry for his blood. He heard the wind roaring through the Siberian forest, now and again laden with the shrieks of some prisoner crazed by suffering.
Above this wail came faintly the words "On guard!" spoken sharply by his second to call him to himself. It failed to rouse him. Those looking OD wondered. His condition was so pitiful, he seemed such easy prey, that both parties looked to see the woman throw down her sword and give him his life. But she, too, saw in memory the throng of his victims. She saw, too, the handsome fellow that had won her heart for the purpose of betraying her and those whose secrets she had given him. Not one look of womanly pity lighted her face, dark with her own and others' revenge. "On guard!" she cried. "On guard!" shouted the men of both parties as matadores strive to anger a drooping bull.
Alekse' Lukiteh heard and roused himself to die. A few minutes later the woman threw down her sword and walked quickly to her carriage. There was no womanly reaction. She did not shudder she did not weep. This phase of woman's nature—at least for this one man whom she had killed—had long ago been eliminated. Alone she had come on to the field, and alone she drove away. She had sprung from whence no one knew and went no one knew whither. No angel of vengeance appointed by heaven to avenge sorrows heaped on its suffering children could have struck more mercilessly.

"Get down on the floor here, daddy Get down on the floor and play." And that is the song my baby
Sings to me at close of day. "Get down on th» floor and tumble Get down with lir.e, daddy do. Get down on the floor now, daddy
Me 'ants to sit down on you."
Then overboard g-oes the paper, And down on the floor goes dad, And on to him clambers baby.
And baby is more than glad. And daddy's a horse and wagon Or daddy's a ship at sea And rolls with a little baby
As happy as she can be.
Tea rolls with the babe and tumbles And grumbles and haws and gees, And always a dimpled baby
With rounded and dimpled knees Sits perc-li2d aloft unfearing And laugrhingr with childish glee

the dacUy ship goes tossing And tumbling across the sea.
And. oh, but that ship is careful! The waves may foam and curl. But never the ship goes plunging
Too muc.h for the baby girl, And never the horse gets fractious Or plunges or jumps aside So much as to mar the pleasure
Of the wee little girl astride.
Oh, good is the hour of gloaming, When labor is put aside And daddy becomes a horsy
A wee little girl may ride, Or daddy becomes a plunging Big ship on the storiny seas And is guided and captained onward
By a baby with dimpled knees. -Houston Post.
