This produces the desired effect;

The various Issues before the coun

In Its disregard for the sanctities of

Hut simply and solely as an

The game may pretail for a flrie(
jerlod of time, and In that It is para

Just An Ordinarv Failure.
There has been hrottkht to notica
in the city of New York a marriage
which Is Just an ordinary, common
place failure. There la absolutely no
scandal about the affair, and for that
reason It Isa remarkable Instance of
Ita kind. There la no other woman:
and no other man. It npp***r* to be
a case of pure * lnconi|>atlblllty of
temperament."
.ue parties are Mr. and Mrs. Hugo
Rogers. Mrs. Rogers had caused her
husband, who Is a prosperous con
tractor, to be summoned to court to
show cause. If he thought he had any,
why he should not ite ordered to pay
her a certain weekly sum for her
support Her oral complaint against
him contained the following specifi
cations:
He hasn’t eaten at home for a
year.
He hasn't kissed her for four
years.
He hasn’t taken her to the theater
In five years.
lie doesn’t care for their children.
He has a Dutch (!.*■# ‘thlck”>
head.
He goes out and plays pinochle
every night.
He always looks sour.
In his defense, ho made the follow
ing counter-charges:
She can't cook, and her cooking
gives him indigestion.
Hhe la a crank.
She has a lot of gossiping women
for chums.
Hhe goes to dances.
Hhe hasn't sewed on a button for
him for four years.
Hhe goes away to the country
every summer and leaves him to
shift for himself.
Hhe Is so displeasing to him. In
short, that he would hang himself be
fore he would return to their early
marital relations.
Kvldently there Is so much fault
finding on both sides, and doubtless
also so much fault, that a reconcilia
tion Is Impossible. At least the court
made no effort In that direction, but
shifted the responsibility of dispos
ing of the rase upon Mrs. McCauley,
the probation officer. Through her
efforts an agreement was reached
that Rogers Is to pay his wife eight
dollars a week and the rent of her
rooms. Then they went their respec
tive ways.
Yet these two must have believed
at one time that they loved each
I other.
Two of Them.
A strange sight, and not a pleas
ant one, was witnessed In St. Joseph,
Mich., one day this week, when Mrs.
Kara Eliza Jane Kenton, aged 70. was
married to Frank Krelgh, aged 19, and
Just out of school.
Could the folly at the extremes of
life go further?
The boy was engaged to a girl
when he met the old woman at a
church sociable. She took a liking to
hint and Invited him to call on her.
He did so and became seized with an
unnatural Infatuation. Soon he Jilted
the girl to whom his promise had been
given, and proposed to the aged ofject
of his new, abnormal affection.
And she. who should have known
better. If he did not. accepted Mm
Friends tried to show hint his folly,
but he would not see. The ceremony
was performed by a Justice of the
peace. Presumably no minister could

'I am happy, 1 declared the boy as

wife and I puri«iao that our life shall
lie one continuous honeymoon.”
' There's no fool like oil}.
except a young one.
Or Is this too, ’'emotional Insan
ity?"
A Fatuous Plea.
William Janie* Patterson, a univer
sity graduate, once a prosperous phy
sician and an expert In criminology,
hut now a prisoner in Henver, charged
with forgery, says that ho is a crimi
nal because he was born so. "I'm a
living example of a mad with criminal
Instincts highly developed," he said.
"1 couldn't he straight If 1 wanted to.
I would defraud people at a lime
when I did not need the mopey and
had no possible reason for taking It
other than to fill this natural craving"
That I* perhaps bolter than the plea
of "emotional insanity," but It will not
do. A man whose Intellect, developed
by study, makes him capable of per
sonal analysis, must have the will
power sufficient to resist an Incllna

lieved that he never exerted himgelf

Father Should Rest.
Father la now figuring as a sum
mer joke. A ’’pert paragragph"
says: "Kverbody takes a vacation
but father." It's tlmo father got In
tba vacation swim.
In certain circles of American so
ciety there Is an annual aufnmwr ex
odus of wives who form the plat/.a
brigade of the summer hoteli. of
sons who go the pace at swell resorts
and of daughters who go abroad,
while the head of the family tugs at
the wheel of business to furnish the
funds. Rut there Is another picture,
as true. There are families where
the tired and nervous mother needs
rest and relaxation. The family
purse permits of no splurge for show
purposes. Wife and children go
away for a time to some modest,
quiet place where mother can rest
from household cares and the chil
dren can romp In the pure air and
goou sunshine. Father la at the
wheel, all right, and for him come
souvenir cards with crute word* for
•'Pop? and love -letters like "she”
used to write. How he glows and
gloats over the news that Molly and
the kids are having a good time!
It Is hard to say who Is the hap
pier—those who go to the outing or
ne who stays by the stuff. What
keener Joy than making happy those
you love and love for? And when
mother and the kids come back!
What a family reunion. The tic that
binds them all together Is fastened
with the knot that cannot be untied.
Resting for a few weeks at farm-
house, or by lake or river or beach
or mountain side, are happy fami
lies that believe father Is tho best
man In all the world. And father
works on, happy that by hIR self
sacrifice he can give his dear ones
a pleasure. He doesn't think he
needs a vacation, and perhaps no
one else thinks so, but he needs one
just the same.

The papers have rung th* changes
on the Summer Girl as usual this
season. *
We’ve had her dished up In a va
riety of styles—served hot or cold.
And now where Is the Summer
Man?
He Is Just, as much a part of the
vacation time as the Summer Girl.
Nohody knows where he comes
from, birt he Is always there.
Nobody knows where he goes to
when the summer Is over, hut every
resort of any pretensions, boasts Its
Mummer Man. Fashionable young
women would know how to do wlth

Attired In the nattiest of suits—one
for every occasion—-he Is an Integral
part of every tennis game, every sail,
every clam bake, all the summer
dances and picnics.
You will meet, him promenading

the great heiress on the shore. You
will find him In the mountains teach

gagement to a young government of

has Just been announced, might have
worn as young girls the seven pearl

will lug. for - one of the first things
which the late Kmprror Frederick
did when he came to the throne was
to offer the title of baron of the two
greatest Ironmasters of the German
empire—namely, to Frederick Krupp
and to Charles Ferdinand Stumm.
The latter accepted, and one of his
nephews, until recently German am
hassador at Madrid. Is married to the
daughter of lxntls Hoffman, the New
York banker and club man. But
Krupp declined the proffered honor,
pn the ground that his name had
achieved so much celebrity In con
nection with his production of can
non. Iron plates and steel rails that
no new title could add to Its pres
tlgo. of peasant ancestry he prided
himself on his origin and not only
insisted upon remaining a man of the
people, instead of becoming a mem
ber of the aristocracy, but likewise
left directions that no obstacles
should he placed In the way of the
marriage of his two daughters on
tnc ground of lack of rank of the
men of their choice.
The two fiances of his girls both;
belong to the petty nobility. But
Bertha's future husband —namely, I
voting von Bohlen, had among bis i
ancestors not merely people of the
Vhnp-keeptng class, but also farmers.
Ip fact, the best blood In his veins
Is that which he derives from his
American relatives, being connected
with some of the oldest families of
New York and Philadelphia.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD-
On Newspapers.
(From the Boston Transcript.!
Mr. Rollo Ogden, the editor of the
New York Kvenlng Post, answers In
the Atlantic the question propounded
by a clergyman not long ago: "When
shall we have a Journal published with
out advertisements?’’ with an em
phatic "Never." At least Mr. Ogden
says this Is his hope for the good of
American Journalism. We have no of
ficial press, no subsidised press, no en
dowed press. Any of these would
have little Influence. A newspaper
carries weight only as It can point to
evidences of public sympathy and sup
port, and that means patronage, of
which the advertising Is an Important
part. Mr. Ogden points to the staying
Influence of large Investments in news
paper properties. Horace Greeley
started the Tribune with a thousand
dollars 65 years ago. If he were start
ing It today he would need a million
nut. Greeley reckoned up more than a
; hundred newspapers that had died In
New York before 1650. Hlnce that
| time It would be hard to remember
' ten, and Mr. Ogden can remember on
ly two metropolitan dallies In a quar
.ter of a century which have suspend
ed publication. The higher capltallta
-11 ion of newspaper properties today, by
'contrast with that period or with con
ditlons still prevailing In France, Mr.
! Ogden thinks has certain very salu
tary effects. Buch a great property
cannot be Imperilled by allowing un
scupulous men to make use of It.
Freakish and rash experiments are
lese liable to And a foothold. The very
dependence of the press upon public,
support gives Its patrons, the power
of life and death over It, and so makes
It their property In the fullest sense.
He might have said something about
the Interest which advertising gives to
a newspaper as a picture of the times.
Old newspapers In the show cases of
a museum are more Interesting be
cause of what they advertised for sale,
and their appeals for runaway slaves,
and accounts of new rapid transporta
tion routes, than for anything that
their regular reading matter contains.

The plant which has this most re

Victoria. It was the tribute of a Brit

he discovered the unusual growth. The
leaf was more than five feet In diam

about three to five inches high. When
It first opens the flower la white, with
pink in the middle, which spreads
over the whole flower the more it ad
vance* in age, and It Is generally
found the next day of a plifk color.
As if to enhance its beauty it Is sweet
scented; like others of the tribe, it
possesses a fleshy disk, and petals and
stamens pass gradually Into each other
and many patalold leaves may be ob
served. “We met them frequently af
terward." says an explorer, "and the
higher we advanced the more gigantic
they became; we measured a leaf,
which was six feet five Inches In di
ameter, Its rim five and a half Inches
high, and the flower across fifteen
Inches." •

Although President Roosevelt has
been a radical la the legislation
which he has secured from congress,
it is significant that in few states has
he continuously thwarted the ”ma
ehine.” Viewing the Wisconsin sit
uation Impartially, one might con
clude that Roosevelt fears I.a FY>l
- aa a possible rival. I.a Follette
came to the senate an advocate for
vears of the railroad regulation poli
cies which has been only recently
adopted by the president. It seemed
natural to suppose that a comrade
ship would be formed between these
tw’o trust busters. But the president
aided the opponents of La Follette,
apparently to keep him in the back
ground.
This was shown by the fact, that in
the matter of patronage Roosevelt
supported Senator Spooner, the ma
chine man, who fought him on the
rionr of the senate against the very
rate bill on which the president had
an ally In La Follette. That the
president feared the prestige which
a successful fight for railroad legis
lation would give to La Follette Is
not doubted. In view of the president's
ignoring him in the distribution of
federal offices.
In Ohio the president, first formed
an alliance with Foraker. and a year
ago Foraker was a formidable candi
date for presldnt. But by sending
Taft to Ohio and breaking the Fora
ker machine, Foraker has been elim
inated for the time being, especially
as. being a fighter, he fought back
against the president and took the
unpopular side on the railroad rate
question.
There was a time when Philander
0. Knox loomed high on the horizon
as a presidential candidate. The
president enlisted Knox’s services In
drafting a rate bill. Knox drafted a
bill, the president tore it to pieces,
and Knox in that particular was dis
credited and had to step aside.
As the result either of accident or
design, therefore. Roosevelt today
appears to he the only man toward
whom the great mass of republicans
ntav turn, and upon whom all may
unite. Has Roosevelt systematically
worked to produce this situation?
His political chess game, analyzed
would Indicate that he has. notwith
standing the denials of his candidacy
for another term.

Some "records" are of the kind
that one would not wish to see "low

Arpagon has just had such an expe

humanity while trying to rescue two
travelers who had incautiously got
into a dangerous position on the line.
