A JUST VERDICT. ‘The verdict of guilty rendered in the MoLaughiin trial was reached yester- @ay on the first ballot and after the dury had been out but a few minutes @ver one hour, Its Justice will be con- @eded even by those who feel sympathy for the convicted officer. "The @efense had nothing to rely upon except their power to convince the jury that the befbery money alleged to have ‘Deen extorted for police protection had Mot been pald to the defendant directly, but to Burns, who had been unauthor- fzed by the Captain and had appr: Priated {t to his own use. But the clo @ssociation between the ex-Captain and Ris ward man was clearly shown, and the fact that it made no difference which of the two received ths money Upset the plea of the defense. It would have been unfortunate (f jus- tloe:tiad failed in this case, and it would bed unfortunate If the appeal to be taken the verdict should be successful upsetting the result of the trial, Re- rm would be but half accomplished if those high officera who had part in bringing the disgrace on the city and ‘@n the police force shall be able to defy ‘the law and its penalt. «.

George Moore's “Mildred Lawson's Reuuired Free Figure for Grief. I venture to say that {f an unknown author had presented the trashy stor! called “Celibates” to Messrs, Macmillan @ Co, for acceptance he would have been aroused from his dreams of fame very abruptly, and perhaps with a boot. But as George Moore, the author of “Esther Waters and “A Mummers unblushingly signed his name to ily volume, it was accepted and handsomely published, It deserved the waste-paper basket, for the book is not only duil, pointless and inane, but it 1s slovenly and most inelegantly writ- ten, Nobody would have belleved that the realistic Mr. Moore was so wofully ignorant of the laws of punctuation he has proved himself to be in “Cell- bates.” Such articles as commas and semt- colons are quite neglected by him, and it is certainly shock to find even a pessimist indulging In little sentences with nefther—or running through them, Pessismism and grammar go very well together, as a general rule, If they don’ let's have the grammar all by Itself, for goodness’ sake, Even realism dies a mutilated death when the Bng- lish grammar forsakes tt. There are three stories in “Celibates,” that of “Mildred Lawson,” being the longest and drear: Mildred 1s @ skit- tish little puss, who doesn't want to marry, but who is anxious to have all the nicest men in love with her. Strange to may, she captures a few. Nice men are such fools, Only the un-nice ones are really sensible. Mildred goes to France to study art, and when she returns heat that one of the nice men ts dying. dying for love of me," she thought, ‘he dying for love of me." And then, “as in a ray of sunlight, she basked for a mo- ment in a little glow of self-satistac- tion.” What she really should have basked In, was 4 good spanking, All the time you are reading “Celibates” you are longing to spank Mildred Lawson. A more Irritating, impossible creature {t would be impossible to imagine, George Moore's sentimental passag are quite as idiotic as his serious epl- fodes. Mildred is ill, and she tells her Convertible Bicycle Costame. of sachets or ferfumery.

When a nice brown put it on a warm plate and sprinkle pulverized sugar over it, Parents Should Note This, A bright studious girl, who had al- Ways easily siood at the head of her home school, entered the freshman clase | Of @ e'rl’s college last Autumn. In @ re cent letter to her family she made this astute remark: “You have no idea how wood it is for me to be thrown at last among several hundred yourig women, and find my own level.

It is/ dried before using; by this means it will quickly absorb the of! and the flow is not impeded. Another way is to soak the wick in vinegar and then dry it thoroughly; this prevents smoking. In some oils there {s a sediment which sinks to the bottom of the reservoir and ad- heres to that part of the wick that liee or lover all about it “I had overworked myself,” she says. ‘The doctor says that I didn't eat enough meat. You know I never did care for meat.” Picture the pathetic situation—the lovely heroine in- sinuating to the adoring hero that she was lacking in love of beefsteak! The suggestion of poetry and roast mutton, pathos and bolled pork 1s quite bewil- dering. Here's a point for my feminine read- ers. When Mildred cries she takes off her cersets, because “to abandon herself wholly to grief sne must have her figure free!" Think of carefully unlacing a pair of stays, flinging the whalebon on one side and bursting into tears! I suppose Mr. Moore will give us a hero one of these days who takes off his col- lar whenever he fe inclined to swear, so that he can have his neck free. Mil- dred's corsets worry her considerably, but, fortunately for the reader, she doesn’t weep very often. I wonder if by any possibility corsets could make a woman hard-hearted? I don't think it likely, or we should have had in our dry- goods stores placards bearing the le- gend: "These corsets can be cried .n with impunity. Mildred feels vexed at the heartless way in which she has treated her lovers, when the story comes to an end, “She crept back to bed cold and despond- ent,” we are told—probably she had for- gotten to remove her corsets. “The pass Ing passion she had felt for Morton was but a passing sensation of the Summer night; as transient as the snatches of perfume which the night wind carrled into her room. She did not know what was going to become of her.” ‘And I'm sure I didn't. Nor did I care “She threw herself over and over on her burn- ing bed until her soul erled out of its lucid misery, ‘Give me a passion for God or man, but give me a passion, I cannot. live without one!’ When I came to this passage, 1 wondered if her soul also wore corsets, and had cast them off in order to cry out of its lucid misery. ‘The other stories, “John Norton” and “Agnes Lahen: e simply not worth pen and ink. John Norton is a gentle man who has never slept on @ feather bed in his life, and that seems to be the most entertaining thing about him. The there, Oil will not flow through a dirty wick, and without a good flow there ts little light. Foul wicks should be wash or dolled in soft water and soap. then rinsed and well dried. Another thing to be borue in mind is that the Teservoir of the lamp should always be Kept filled; if the of] is low the flow is imperfect, and the wick becomes eharred, The lamp would then give a poor light and emit @ disagreeable smell. Mouth Waters. Mouth waters are worth recommend ing. Aside from their agreeabie odors and the eweet taste they put in the mouth, they have hygiente properties at give them dental value. There are orchid, orange, clove, wintergreen, lemon, vanilla and attar scents, The lotions are strong, and a few drops ia @ tumbler of water will. as the French say, fumigate the whole inside mouth, a omartly cut, well-fitting plain skirt, buttoning at Rewest and most approved fashion. less than a minute by simpy un- fastening the buttons at the sides of the skirt and securing the skirt in an equally easy manner to the shoulders, the lower limbs are left Late gee and a Grapery is all thet re- mains haemtetl of the skirt, reaching a short Gistance below the knee, and clearing quite easily the wheel of a bicycle or tricycle. ‘The Rose-Bag Bureau.
