Vigo's divorce record has at last been broken. In Chicago a Mrs. McClure has jnst received her third divorce from her husband. Probably this her farewell engagement before starting on a theatrical tour.

Mayor Dahai-daon is not aTom Heed. Were he such an official he would enforce the law and not stoop to follow the dictates of petty politicians. His scepter •f authority can be labeled anything but "business."

Tub people of Terre Haute by a majority of over a thousand, declared last Spring, for better city government. Have the representatives of the people in council forgotten the declaration of the people on the enforcement of law? Have they forgotten their pledges to the people? Th® voters still retain the memories of the pledges which were given and which have not been fulfilled.

Tiikre it great interest in local political circles everywhere, and the resnlt will be most beneficial to the public The farmers have inaugurated a cam paign fot reform and an economic ad the result in some counties in Illinois. Reform fe a good thing but when con ducted upon a parsimonious it looses its savor, There are extremes in cconomy as in other things In Vigo county the farmers and taxpay ere are taking a lively interest in politics They are keeping their eye on public ex pond itu res. Too littlo attention has been paid to the management of public finance*, but the time is ripe for arousing voters to a realisation that they should keep their eyes open on expenditures which are not infrequently needless and extravagant.

Tnims was one notable case under the conspiracy law in Indiana, and it result ed in the placing of three railroad men in prison stripes, Th© incident occurred in Rush county, and has not been forgotten. Three railroad men, during labor trou bloe, took a hand car and ran it a short distance, leaving it at the side of the track, The act was considered conspiracy—interfering with the operations of a railroad company. The three men were arrested and were brought to trial uuder the outrageous conspiracy Jaw. They were guilty I and their punishment was fixed at one year in the penitentiary. The men had no right to seise the hand ear, run it a short distance and throw it from the track, yet the crime, for crime it was, under the conspiracy in* fatny, did not justify the sending of the tnen to the penitentiary for one year. Th© punishment did not fit the offense. The conspiracy law made it an offense for two or three strikers to meet and devise plans for winning a contest. It became conspiracy to make a threat to in-terfere-and the punishment tciw the penitentiary. It was to the credit of the last legislator* that the outrageous me*#nr« was repealed. The law should never havt disgraced the statute books of a Mate as great and as law abiding as Io diana.

long distance from one ol the

leading schools of the city resides a gentleman, who, by reason ef beings commercial traveller, is absent from home a

portion of his time. His wife is of a nervous temperament and several times baa been frightened by real or imaginary burglars. Not Jong since while Ktodstl" the gentlemas Donght a New Found Uvcd dog, said to be a first-class watch dog, and sent »t borne to hia wile with a letter imtroctingher to feed the dog plentifully, treat bim kindly and turn him looee in the yard at night. She did as directed and very soon had his dogship under excellent control. Her husband was absent about three weeks or a month and in the meantime his owseiship of a dog had passed out of his mind. He happened to reach home on a date and at an hour when hia wife was spending the evening at the residence of a neighbor. He lifted the latch of the front gate, went around to the rear entrance and was tapping on the door, when there

A seriee of deep growls •'Come here, dojo?y—good doggy. Here, Jack—here, Jack."

The dog growled and moved. Biam went the door. In a few moments the unfortunate man bad possessed himself oi a small flower pot full of solid eartb. He opened the door very slowly until he could get an arm out and hurled the missile at the beast. When the door was jammed shut this time the dog was agftinit it with his fore f©6t aou th6 ni&n braced against it from the outside with every muscle strained. Thus did many weary minutes wear away until be heard an unusual movement on the part of his brute besieger, and opening the door, beard someone coming around the walk at the side of the house. Very soon he heard the tones of his wife's voice, as welcome to bim as the sight of an approaching ship to a castaway seaman. When his wife found there was a man in th# little room sho uttered a subdued little cry and was on the point of fleeing when bo yelled, "It's me, Marca. Don't you know me? I'm your husband. Please kul that (3—dog, and get me out of this wreck. She flnallv recognized him, called off the "faithful watch dog," shut the beast up in the stable, returned and released her husband, who, when led into the lighted sitting-room, presented an appearance that caused his wife to laugh herself into hystenai—nearly. Tbo very next day jraa sold to a farmer,

jntleman^ presented her with a big rnith & Wesson hammerlesa 44-calibre revolver, and says he will willingly take his chances against his wife shooting him rather than run any more risks with "first class watch dogs."

This checked the cur and our friend leaped past him, up the stepsof the back portico the dog nearly at his heels. Down came a copper wash boiler right in the dog's way and again was his onslaught checked. The gentleman threw opan the door of a cubbard-Iikeroom partitioned off of one end of the portico, jumped in slammed the door after him. It was dark as Erebus within and not a match could he find in bis pockets. He felt around and succeeded in knocking down several old joints of stove pipe and jamming his head against a hanging shelf. Bo didn't want to yell for help, so he commenced a discussion of the situation with the dog who was on guard out side.

ihjpyrftf"- All rights reserred.] CHAPTER V. MBfb Lane resolved once and again after her father's return that she would t»n him that aha had lost her bonds. But all day he was at hia office, aad each time when he returned she hated to tell him, aad so put it off till momtag: Each morning lis was in haste for his breakfast, and the poor girl put it off After tiiis second of these failures she had no chance. As she came home in the afternoon from an early archery party she found a note from her father saying tfcat he was called to New York. This was followed by a telegram from New York saying he was called to London. And so poor Edith, was left to her own newly acquired ftWTl managing her own business for the next six weeks.

What soon became very clear was that sho must have money. Indeed this is something which generally becomes clear to most people in modem society. Bdikh first maw the mistake which many other people of thinking that it will do any good to say aloud, "I must have some money." She said this to the looking gL&es twioe as she dressed herself. Bat no money came from that. As to housekeeping and wages there was no trouble. The housekeeper had been •applied. Bat for herself Edith knew there wonld be trouble very soon. {ghe at once put herself on short allow-

«nce.

She did not go into a shop. She the most attractive book stores

saying, "Lead us not into temptation." She went on foot if she could not rids in her own carriage, by which I mean she never took the people's carriage—the streetcar. She was even mean enough to put a niclde into the contribution box at church, sitting in the very pew where (fee deacon was always sure of a five dollar bill. But then Edith made an aceeoqt of this, and solemnly pledged heraslf for every nickle she laid on the altar to place a ten dollar bill when—she had it. Dear child, she'knew the difference between little turtle doves and good la«ge lambs. These economies she kept up steadily. But economies do not create money.

And it seemed as if never were the unexpected expenses so terrible. Then ptffrn* a Mil for annual costs at the cemetwy which her father had forgotten. Edith promptly paid that. Then earns her annual subscription at the Sheltering Arms, her assessment at the Ladies' Relief and the Sewing Women's Friend. The same afternoon earns a aaaa from the Oklahoma free school. Every young lady of her acquaintance had snbeeeibea

Dr. Witherqpoon had recommended ft, aatd Edith knew that she was expected to subscribe. Endless appeals were made, indeed, from one and another stadHar ohaoit|r. And as a elhaax the 1st of Juljr esov and all her quarterly Wife The feetfe* was terrible. And she with so little in her pooket, and, if any vfartae in arithmetic, not or I would have done. She ordered her coupe and bade James take her to the Axsieat^o again.

It was just possible

that the things might have changed themselves back again. The warders knew her and told, her it was a pleasant morning, as it was" But it scorned to Edith that they looked on her with an inquiring air, as if they wondered that she dared to come. Still she braced herself to her duty. She gave the mystic number and she produced her key, at whioh the bolt flew baok at the right moment, just as it docs in the "Forty Thieves," She carried the tin box out to the very same cell she had occupied before. She felt as if shs were a ntm in a oca rent. She opened the box sad—there was nothing there. Then she waited a little—poor child this was to deceive the warders. Then tile locked the box and carried it back. She dared not look them in the face

that they disproved of her Mia even soorned her. Sadly and doubtfully sho bade James take her home, and he did so.

An idea had crossed her in the cell. The bonds she had in place of hers were not hen. No. But they took ths place «f hers. Now to she could not cot off own coupons and deposit them hi

Optional ConrtMlM.

Among optional courtesies may be enumerated that which governs the condoct of persons in crowded public conveyances. South of Mason and Dixon's fine no man wonld bravo public opinion by remaining seated when a woman maintained a standing position, even weira she the humblest of her sex. A foreigner wouly argue in such a case that he had paid for his seat, and that there could be no more reason for his rieing in a street car than if he were

enpying aaseat at the opera or at a hotel table. In New York, whieh is too cosmopolitan a city to be cited as an example, street car etiqn&tto is decidedly variable, and whether or not it ia necessary to vacate a seat in a lady's favor is a much mooted question. One thing is oertain, and that is, that youth and beauty appeal to both high and low, even the most boorish individual being willing to relinquish his rights in favor of a woman with a pair of bright eyes and a stylish.figure.

The poor wage worker, in hsr faded ootton gown and with fingers showing evidences of toil, is rarely ths recipient of such courtesy. The man in broadcloth, who has been seated in his 1 uxorious office most of the day, keeps his seat without a qualm of conscience, and holds his paper before his face to obstruct the view of the appealing eyes and worn figure.

Women in public vehicles often exhibit a remarkable selfishness and a total disregasd for the oomfort of cthete. Many of tnem accept a seat to which they have no legal right with a sansy toss of the head and without recognizing the courtesy by as mnch as a bow or a "thank yon." An audible expression of thanks is the least a lady should offer in exchange for the sacrifice of a place, Mid this should be tendered as freely to the threadbare clerk as to the dude in fine raiment.—Jenness-Miller Magazine.

L»okli( for Light »t th* City BalL'i| I am building a house. I wanted to get the necessarr permission to tap the water main, and went to the City hall fer that purpose. I might have gone down into the state of Indiana to have secured the permit, but it occurred to me that I had better ask in Chicago. I stepped into one of the elevators and told the driver what I wanted. He landed me on the public library floor. I soon discovered I was in the wrong place.

I took another elevator, and told the driver of that one what I wanted. He let me off somewhere and told me where to go. I followed his directions, and found myself face to face with Superintendent Howhuid. I didn't ask him, for I saw he was busy. I found an officer rn the corridor, and told him what I was trying to get at. He sent me to the place where dog licenses are issued, and a smart clerk in that department laughed at me.

I didn't blame him very much. I met a friend who has been in the City ball since its occupancy, and he conducted me to the proper place. I had lost neartjr *n Hnnr. Why don't the proper authorfin places where inquiries are made?— Interview in Chicago Tribune.

Tlio Opal.

While most gems oift their tint to the presence of some foreign coloring matter the many hned and beautiful opal differs. It is opaque, deriving its beauty from the marvelous property it possesses of decomposing the rays of light, and thus reflecting from its polished surface all the colors of the rainbow. It needs, therefore, no brilliant, but ap8X8 to the best advantage when alone. is at present among ths most prised of gems, and has held its place for ages.
