" A Paris milliner has gone insane, says a cable dispatch. A lot cl women over here are raving about their hats, raving in much the. same manner, we presume. It is proposed to raise revenue by charging foreigners admission to this country. The idea seems to be that we are running too big a show for a free show.

It is to be observed, however, that the justic?s of ;the municipal court have seen fi to make the embarrassing announce meiit for no other purpose than th.it o? pre greed. To create a monopoly of tlte matrimonial business in Chi cagoby the municipal court has no ethjal foundation, and the legisl.i toe should lend no countenance euch a preposterious and vulturous attempt.

Cooke, who has been announced as a candidate for the dem ocratic nomination for judge of the supreme court from this division in the pecial election to be held Sept. 25 to fill Ahe vacancy caused by the, death of Justice Guy C. Scott, is the type of a self-made man such as has so often adorned the pages of American (his tory. At the age of 3 years, suddenly bereft of his father, just as the latter had entered upon his professional ca- eer as a physician, and losing his mother when he was 11. his early life was one of struggle and hardship. In spired by an ambition to acquire an ed ucation, he worked himself through school, being obliged often to labor for his board, and when, he finally attain ed the desire of his life, that of edu cation for the practice of his chosen profession, the law, he found himself in debt, but full of determination, cour age and pluck. And so he has succeeded through life. Always a student and hard worker, so he is today. Still a youn man, he has built upNa law practice that would be a credit to practitioners of many more years experience, and has established for himself a reputa tion, not only for success, but. for sound judgment in the applieationof tlie principles of law that fits him to a remarkable degree for the great of fice for which he is a candidate. He is an ideal man. one whom the people always delight to honor, and one who if chosen to the supreme bench, will bring the same high talents and the same distinction as did the lamented jurist, who passed away in his prime. and whose place he would fill. The life of Hon. George A. Cooke is full of interest. He was born at New Athens, Ohio, July 3, 18C9. His father. Thomas A. Cooke, a physician, died at Bridgeport, Ohio, May 21, 1S72, and his mother died at New Athens, Ohio, June S, 18S0. Upon the death of his parents, and from whom he inherited only the sum of $240. he came to Mer cer county in June. 1SS0. where he made his home with an uncle on a farm until September, 1S8G. hue there he attended the common school of the district during the winter months and became determined to se cure an education. Although without means, he entered the Aledo high school in September, 1886. and from that time was thrown entirely on his own resources. He completed the high school course by his awn efforts, work- ing for his board and earning such money as he could during vacations, graduating in May, 1S88. In the autumn of 1S88 he entered Knox college at Galesburg and gradu ated from the classical course in June, 1892, having completed a regular five year course in the four years. While in 'college he acted as chapel monitor for a part of the time, for which he re ceived his tuition. He conducted a boarding club as steward, for which he received his board, and on Satur days did such odd jobs as he could find to do. During his college course he reached his majority, and the $240 left by his mother became available. During each of the last two years of his college course he was loaned a small sum by the college at a low rate of interest from a fund known as the "Pearson fund." which was created by Mr. Pearson of Chicago, to be loaned to deserving students. This money was repaid after he had begun the practice of law some years later. During his college course he was one year business manager of the college paper, one year captain of the football team, represented his literary society in debating contests, and graduated with a high standing. He was a mem ber of the Greek letter fraternity. Beta Theta Pi. j Upon graduating from college he en-' tered the law office of Pepper & Scott at Aledo, and pursued the study of a ' law course under the supervision of the members of that firm. He was ad-, reitted to the bar in 1895. In the au tumn of that year he opened an office in Galesburg, III., where he practiced until Aug. 1, 189C, when he formed a partnership with the late Justice Guy ( C. Scott and removed to Aledo. Since that time he has remained in the prac- ; tice at Aledo. Oct. 20, 189fi, he was married to ' Miss Sarah Blee of Aledo. He has four children two boys and two girls'. - - He lias served two terms in the legis-' lature as member of the house, and two terms as member of the democratic state central committee, and is now secretary of that committee. Illinois--Tlie Hole in the Map. Chicago Record-Heralds The vote on the tariff bill makes the Mississippi .IUUH1 Vant mm.. tw... i - . iuc) nave cuiiecuveir tn cratlc and 10 republican senaW' J The democrats, of course, voted " a. against the Aldrich tariff bill. So. did the 10 republicans, And these epublicans- from contiguous territo -y were the only republicans to vote against it. ' '-: - - ! Striking as this Is, a further analysis. of the vote is much more striking, for it justifies the belief that the people of this great area are practically solid against the Aldrichized tariff. The six senatorial votes out of the IS from this territory were as follows. Missouri Warner; elected in l!(i.". tefore the tariff issue became politi cally acute. ' Kansas Curtis;- elected 1907: a survival of the element rebuked last fall when Brisfow beat Iong. South Dakota Gamble; 'elected in 1907 for his second term, and in oppo sition on the tariff to his colleagues, Crawford, elected last fall. Wisconsin Stephenson ; elected in 1909; successful through spending l uge amounts of money, though aided by his former connect ion. with the progressive republicanism which be has now deserted. Illinois Cullom and Horimer. For Missouri. Kansas ami South Da kota, therefore, it appears that th-i votes for the tariff bill were given by senators elected two years or mor? ago, and) out of touch with t lie present uentiiuent of their states. For Wisconsin Stephenson is a "black sheep." Illinois is the only state which shows two senatorial votes for the Aid rich bill. Right in the heart of the protesting territory, it makes itself- ex ceptional by the misrepresentation its senators have given it. It is the hole in the map. Not the people .of Illinois, but the domination of the state legislature ",jy v. bi-partisanship of spoils has so shamed the state. Fortunately, the end it not yet. The republican protest against Aldrich will strengthen itself in future election", and Illinois will haveiis opportunity to join with its sister states, according to the will of its people. The Wuy It Works. The employes of a certain factory submitted 'a demand for increased vages. They wanted 10 cents mor on the day, and threatened to strik? unless the demand was granted. The company at once requested arbi tration, and increased the price of its product 10 per cent. The wholesalers took a gloomy view of the situation, ordered large quantities of the product at the old price, as the increase would not go in to effect for 30 days, and marked the price up 25 per cent. The jobbers immediately increased prices 50 per cent on the old fttock they had on hand. The retailers promptly doubled the price to the consumer. Whereupon the newspapers expressed themselves in no uncertain, terms. The board of arbitration decided against -the emnloyes of the factorv 'and they remained at work at the old scale. But the consumer had lost bight of this part of the transaction. Thus do our channels of production influence our prosperity. Notice to Coal Dealers for Bids.

Per Cent Paid on Deposits Do!l&rsj V l$Pg& BY TANN1E M l fiTHROP iMniiiii JOHii MITCHELL The World's Most Popular Labor Leader. JOHN MITCHELL, the labor leader and President of the United Mine Work ers of America, at the age of thirty-three headed an army of 140,000 men in . the great coal strike, the greatest labor struggle in history. His calmness, coolness, self-poise, courage and sterling honesty carried him bravely and un faltering through a fierce light. Heliad to meet on the one band, millionaire mine-owners safely entrenched behind the ramparts of their wealth, and able to stand a long siege ; on the other hand the members of the union itself, thousands of whom were ignorant foreign ers whose passions might in a moment convert them into a mob ; vain, envious, self-seeking orators and delegates looking for spoils ; and scheming, tricky, am bitious leaders even in the councils. Between ths millionaires and the miners was the world of industry clamoring for coal to keep the wheels of trade moving. With remarkable strength and to his personal credit. Mr. Mitchell kept a clear mind and a cool head in a severely testing crisis. He was born in Eraidwood, 111., the son of a miner, ia 1809, and at the age of four was left an orphan tinder the care of his stepmother. His school training was slight, for at thirteen he was picking coal at the mines; Tut he studied at night and became interested in econ omic questions and at sixteen joined the Knights of Labor. For five years he traveled in the West, working his way from one mine to another, earning enough to keep him, and broadening his mind by a larger outlook on life and a closer study of labor problems in a practical, personal vay. These years of experience made an excellent training for the larger future of the young champion of labor. In 193 he became Secretary-Treasurer of a district organization of the United Mine Workers, and rapidly rose from one post of honor to another until he became President in 1899, the membership of the Union increasing from 43.000 to over 800,000 ia four years and winning great victories in increased wages, shorter hours and other concessions for its members. Mr. Mitchell is a man of such wonderful executive ability, such-shrewd bus iness sagacity and so magnetic in his strong personality that he could readily earn more than his present salary of 1800 a year wrc he to enter the business world. He has stood lovolly and steadfastly by all contracts with Capital, feel ing that the one basis of the strength of organized labor must be its respect for the sacredness of the contracts and agreements, which honor, not law, must make them fulfil ia their battles with organized capital.

Bill?" came a lazy j drnwl from the tiny anteroom, which j Thompson designated the office. I "Here." replied that gentleman as distinctly as a mouthful of brushes would permit. "It's only Carter," he explained to bis model. "Or perbnps you'd rather" "Ob. let him come in by all means," replied the girl. "I'd rather like to see him." A long, clean limbed young fellotf lounged In. halted apathetically for a moment behind Thompson's onnvns and then sunk lazily into a pile of jcushloiis on the floor. The girl on the model stand scruti nized him closely and made up her mind thnt he was the most typically lazy man she had ever seen. His voice, his walk, his carriage, had an absolute lack of effort that was positively fas cinating, and to complete the impres sion his strong, lean face was abso lutely devoid of expression. Snddenly. however, he gazed Intent ly and with a semblance of awakened Interest at the model. The pose whs rather striking. A heavy black velvet gown accentuated that peculiar trans parency of coloring which accompa nies a certain deep rh-h shade of au burn hnir. A dull green background reconciled the brilliant coloring of the upper part of the picture to the dusky mysteries of the lower canvas. The IKise of the figure was saved from In solence only by the winsoinoness of the face. Carter pulled lazily at his p'po and continued to gaze at the girl with half closed critical eyes. "N'iee color." he finally asserted. "By .love, that's a wonderful pose!" with a sudden burst of enthusiasm that startled the girl. "Are you engaged after you finish with Thompson?" "The other artist opened his mouth: then, with h quiet smile.' closed It again. The girl smiled, too. a little smile that cnrlec her upper lip dell clously. ' .' , "N. sir: 1'ih not engaged next week." she replied quietly. "Can you come to me for a two weeks' pose then. In the mornings?" Thompson looked dubiously nt ' the girl. "Yes, sir, I'd come," she said. - The next Monday the model present ed herself at John Carter's studio, lie scarcely looked up as he greet ed her. "Oh, is that you. Miss Do you know. I forgot to ask your name," he drawled. 4 "Parks," the girl supplied smilingly. The gown he gave her was also black. He had hung heavy stuffs around and above the model stand un- til the black gown and the background mingled darkly and the white face and auburn hair fairly jumped from the gloom in a single, startling note of t , .

He tried ' first o:ie' pose, tbeu another. in su -h r.iiiid succession that the girl was positively bewildered. Wh'.'n he had at last found one that pleaded him lie drawled apologetical lv.' with a slow, winning smile. "I'm rather a hard fellow to get started Miss Parks, but I won't give you much trouble once we're off." The girl watched the man with fas cinated eyes. He worked with the precision and energy of a splendid uiu chine. His face shone with positive inspiration As for Carter himself, he was bliss fully happy. With the true artist's sensitiveness be felt the absence of the usual dish between the half hearted prosaic models and the ideals he Strug gled to embody by their aid. The at niosphere lacked a single inharmonl ous element, for the girl seemed to throw her whole personality into the work At last lie emerged from his trance sufficiently to observe that a white line had appeared arouud the girl's com pressed lips and that she wavered as she stood. "It must be time to rest." he ob served. "Why," as he glanced at the clock, "you've been posing for nearly an hour. Why didn't you rest?" he demanded reproachfully, v .'The girl sank Into a chair with an amused gleam In her" eyes. "I never saw anybody so completely lost." she said. "I couldn't boar to disturb you The next morning he found himself awaitir. with unmistakable impa tiencv flie arrival of his model, and when at last she did stand before him with n smiling "Good morning" on her lips he regarded the girl with an art ist's satisfaction. She was dinning In her dark street gown. Her fare was flushed and her eyes bright with t lie exhilaration of an autumn morning, and Carter was strongly tempted to 'put away serious work and iimkc a study of her as she stood, ne banished the idea, however. and soon they , were at work on . the "masterpiece.;'. . He. refused to believe It when the noon whistle insisted that It was 12 o'clock and Miss Parks de parted The afternoon was unprecedented!? long. He felt strangely disinclined to work and Ijnally put aside the canvas and brought out some unfinished sketches. He worked on these until he discovered that he had converted five j different heads into unmistakable like I nesses of Miss Parks. Then he sm ' tered something beneath his breath 1 and gave up in despair. , At the end of the last day but one of the two weeks Carter realized that ' the central figure of his canvas was completed, and the realization brought a poignant feeling of regret The rea ; son for it came when It suddenly 1 1 ....

It came with such a shock that he was fairly stunned. He, John Carter, the most unlmpres- slonlst of men. In love with his model! W hen Miss Parks appeared the next day he greeted her with his usual cheerful "Good morning," but not an other word was spoken until she hag taken the old familiar pose for the last time, he said to himself, with a pang. There was a strange restraint of which . both were awarff. At last. This Is the last c""v of the pose," the girl ventured. Carter worked furious ly. "Yes."' he answered shortly. An other pause. "Then you won't want me any more?" The girl's voice strove hard to be commonplace. Carter threw down his palette In de spair. The girl kept her pese bravely, ker pretty head tilted. but the eyes which met Carter's held a look which even be could not mistake. The roan brushed his hand across his eyes In a fiulok, desperate little gesture He seemed to have brushed the old 'non chalance away. He was fairly trans formed. "Want your he gasped. "JVant you! Don't you know I want you more than anything in the world?" "But ou don't understand," the girl liegan finally in a voicethat was some what smothered by Carter's broad shoulder. "There ore reasons." she continued, with dignity, "why I can not marry you." 'I am all ears." avowed Carter sol emnly, "but'you won't mind If I say right now that the reasons won't make a particle of difference, will you?" 'Oh, but they will. I've been decelv ing you,"she confessed haltingly. "to on. commanded Carter, more soberly. All kinds of dreadful possibil ities loomed up before him. "You I never love me when you know," she continued, with visible ef fort "I I'm not a model at all. I'm Billy 'Thompson's cousin," she rushed on. "and when you. came In and thought 1 was 'a professional I wouldn't let Billy tell you. and I thought It would be such a good joke. because Billy had told me how you never cared for girls or anything, and" "Von there. Jim?" interrupted a fa miliar voice from the hall. The girl tied to the model stand and took her pese. Carter dabbed lazily and with perfect composure at his canvas. Billy strolled in. an amused look In his eyes. "Nice model." he rerrmrked. "Can I engage yen for next week, my pretty maid?" Carter turned about lazily and re nrded his friend. "I'm afraid not, Billy," he drawled. Ton see. your cousin has a perma nent engagement with me." Acto.'s U"ider King William III.' How summarily actors and mana gers were dealt with in the days of King William III. Is shown by the pe tition of Alexander Davenant and oth ers, dated Dec. 19. 1G91.' which has leen found among the historical docu ments of the house of lords. These "sharers and adventurers In the play house" this seems to have reference to the Dorset Garden theater in White frlars set forth that Lord LonguevlIIe. having complafued of being assaulted. together with his servants, by the guard at this famous playhouse in the course of what seems to have been a rather serious fracas, the king had given orders at the desire of the peera that no soldiers should lie on duty there for the future and that the play ers should be "suspended from acting till they bad begged pardon for the af front." - The house had also, it appears, vin dicated Its dignity, thus outraged In the iierson of one of its members, by ordering a sergeant and a soldier to be seut to the gatehouse at Whitehall, then used as a prison. The petlti6ners having humbly solicited the "removal of the suspensiou upon them" and promised to "do their best to prevent the like miscarriage for the future." it Is officially noted that "the suspen sion on the jilayers was removed" and that "on Dec. 29 the sergeant aud sol dier were on petition released."

Many doctors' forbid their patients to drink coffee but the patients stil'. drink it on the sly and thus spoil all the doctor's efforts and keep themselves sick. ' Sometimes the doctor makes sure that the patient is not drinking cof fee and there was a case of that kind in St. Paul, where a business man said: "After a very severe Illness List winter which almost caused my death the doctor said Postum was the only thing that I could drink and ji;st made me quit coffee and drink Pos tum.
