The writers who are busying them selves with Kmisevelt's future need not disturb themselves. When he gets through with the White House he will htill be able to take care of himself, and no pension or resolutions of sym pathy will be necessary. Stand by the Cans. The democratic papers down the dis trict are all pronounced against any idea of indorsement on the part of the congressional convention which meets at Monmouth next Thursday of inde IK-ndent candidacy for congress. The Warren County Democrat voices the sentiment of the prtsss down that way when it says: "It has been proposed that the dem ocrats of this district indorse some in dependent candidate for congress, in stead of making a rojiular nomination. This would certainly be disastrous, for two reasons that it would be an ad miss-ion that the party had lost its hope, powtr and influence, and, fur ther, it would be abandoning the legal status of the party and make it diffi cult to place a ticket in the field next year, or secure representation upon the election boards. . . The democracy sliould not swerve to the right nor to th left, but place a thorough democrat .upon the ticket and urge a vigorous campaign." 7Ar THE SUBURBS. Owing to the fact that her husband lias just been appointed by the kaiser us head of the coloniel department of Berlin, the Countess Adolf Von doet zen, an American woman, will become a leadiug figure in Cerinan court cir cles. Her husband, during the Spanish-American war, accompanied Pres ident Roosevelt and the rough riders throughout the Cuban campaign. Travelers returning from Japan are generally of opinion that the mikado's subjects have become quite inflated over the result of iheir war with Rus sia. As one American put it. "They are scratching their heads where the hat brim ought to be. A white man Is a poor critter in their ej-s. They seem to think that they can lick a Herman, nit American or a Frenchman with th-.-Mime ease which the white brethren of the Russians in other countries so glee fully dilated upon in the beginning ot the war." Parker Was Right. Says the Springfield (Mass.) Repub lican, which has always its weather eye both upon the political situation and the truth of history: "It seems to be a fair quest iou whether President Roosevelt does not owe Judge Alton 11. Parker a public apology. The president's quick seuse of 'squareness- must certainly be much troubled by the disclosure that at the very moment last November when h was hotly resenting Judge Parker'. charges regarding the squeezing of cor IKtrations for republican campaign money, the commit Me charged with forwarding his canvass was accepting money abstracted from a fund for the assistance of widows ami orphans and using It to promote his election. Prob ably Judge Parker at the time never supposed the case was quite as flagrant as it is now known to have been." Judge Parker not only knew all about it. aud the extent of it, but he had the pnf promised him when he made the charges. The men who gave the promise had neither the Integrity nor the courage to redeem If. They went back upon Judge Parker and their word. Hut lime Is a great detective. The worst pan of the whole business is the matter-of-course way the public takes it. There are others, like the president, who need to apologize to Ju lge Parker. MILAN. Milan. Sept. 23.

She wentall alone on -the train and was alone In the compart ment win til at one of the stop a man got In. The drain bod no sooner' start ed on 'than be said it o G retch en: Frraileln, Til trouble yon for your clotbea." Gretrhen looked at tbe man, not un yderstandins what be meant. "Your clothes, and be in a' hurry. Take (them off. I'm going, to put them on and you shall put onnlne. Befort Gretchen could be made to understand that be was tn earnest be was wobligol to threaten ber, and even then the (taking off csT ber outv clotting before! a man was so obnox ious to her that) she did itvery slowly. The man was twice herbage, but not mucfd taller, being tsmall and wiry. He put jou Gretcbeu'a klress, -hat be could not get on ber shoea, and minor articles, compelling berrto put on bis own elotbes. Then he took out of a Eatche.1 a numJber of cosmetics and began Ho make -blmseff up for a wo mau. IIe also -took out a mustache and. givingiit to Gretcben.iordered ber to stick itHn to ber upperllp. Gretcbenuwbo bad neverbefore been out in the world without a. maid, was of course terror stricken. She obeyed the man mechanically, expecting every moment that be might! find it to bia Interest t murder ben. After they bad changed apparel bewald to her; "Little gltl, if you do- what I vant you to do, 111 not hurtjyou. Thenext station will be IJ. and I expect taleave the train there. If I decide not to aud any one gets into this compart ment, you musi pretend that you are a young man. ,lf you don't,, I'll kill your' When the train stopped nst B. the man was about to et out when he caught sight ofi n policeman standing right where be uuust be passed. The man hesitated and decided not to risk It. He cowered- back in the car and remained there while the train was ut u standstill. Just before it moved off a young man in a student's cap got iuto the icompartment. Then the guard loekedA the door and the train moved off. The student .was evidently in an amiable mood most students are-and as soon as be was seated took out a cigarette aud, turning to the criminal whom he mipposed was a woman. asked if she objected to smoking. The man replied in so coarse a voice that the student smiled, and, permission being granted, be offered Gretchen a cigarette. She was about to decline wheu a glance from the criminal warned ber to uccept, and, taking the cigarette, the student held a match while she lit it. The student Insisted on opening a conversation with ber. At the first sound of ber voice be looked at ber surprised and smiled again. "You two bad better change your clothes," be said. "The woman has the voice of u man, while the man has the voice of a woman." I'oor Gretchen now began to show slgus of sickness, and the student asked what was the matter. Gretchen admitted that it must be the cigarette, siuce be could not think of anything else to cause the trouble. "Poor little boy," said the student "You should be at home with your mother." Taking ber bead in his arms, be playfully pulled it down on to bis breast. The criminal, not relishing thU close proximity and fearing the girl might communicate with the student, said: "Let the boy alone." "What business Is It of yours?" asked the student haughtily. One would sup pose the boy to le a girl. I'll hug him If I like." With that he seized Gretchen and pulled her face down onto bis chest ao vigorously that when he released ber her mustache had fallen off. "Well, well!" said the astonished stu dent. "What's this? Are you trying to escape from Justice la disguise?" Thafs it," cried tbe criminal "He must be a thief." The student looked at the blushing, innocent face of the girl, and, noticing that her hair bad partly slipped from under ber bat where the criminal had placed it, took bold of a coil and pulled ikdown over Gretchen's shoulder. "You're a girl," he said, "that's cer tain.,. Now, bow about you?" he added, looking at the other. "A man!" And, whipping out a re volver, be attempted to cover the stu dent, but the latter, who was a re nowned member of the dueling corps at bis university, quick as lightning knocked up bis weapon, and In the scuffle that followed the criminal, be ing encumbered with skirts, was over lowered and lost bis revolver. For tbe rest of the Journey the stu dent kept the criminal covered and got from Gretchen a brief story of bow the bad been forced into man's attire. On reaching the next station the crim inal was turned over to the police, an4 Gretchen's Identity was confirmed by telegraph.
