The action of Evelyn Nesb ; t Thaw in filing suit for annulment of her marriage with Harry Thaw on the ground that he was insane at the time of tbe ceremony is still another inexplicable phase in a story of astonishing contradictions. Unques tionably it is the end of the little love story, the one feature that has redeemed the whole remarkable chain of events from sin unpalli ated and depravity unconcealed even by the glamor of gilded dis sipation. That little love story since the night of Stanford White’s tragic death has been the single element that converted public disgust into sympathy. It was the one thing that saved Evelyn Nesbit from an ancient and wholly damning social classification. It was the one thing that saved Harry Thaw from the •electric chair. In the days when destiny was Weaving the first strands of this tremendous story the figure of the girl was the one element of pathos, compassion and purity. By con trast every other character was tainted. Everything was falsehood, villainy and corruption. She made the supreme sacrifice on the witness stand. No other impulse but love could have evoked such a sacrifice The tragedy of it is that unseen forces have killed a love which seemed as potent as the very forces of nature and looked to be as stanch and enduring as life itself. —Detroit Journal. ’Have you ever investigated the |K)BBibilities of profit making in Chicken raising? A western chicken man by the name of Kellerstrauss cf Kansas City recently sold five White Orpingtons for $7,500. Only a few morths ago a Michigan firm of chicken breeders, Fillio, Williams <& Co., of North Adams, sold to Kellerstrauss a buDch of White Orpington's for SIO9O. It is alto gether likely that some of these same chickens are included in the number sold for the enormous price stated above Many people think chicken raising is too small a mat ter to bother with Others more wise realize that if properly handled there is good money in the business Have you ever noticed the wheels cf a great locomotive spinning help lessly around on a slippery track? A little sand is worth more here than much steam. The tracks leading to public confidence in busi ness are also fairly slippery. Mr. Merchant, your goods may have plenty of “steam” which is used in this metaphorical connection to G —— lIPIUPW'I Clothiers and Tailors The Grandest Invention of the Age represent quality and attractive ness, but you need advertising which is the sand that enables your merit to“oatch on.” Try the advan tages of judicious newspaper pub licity and watch results. The Her ald is prepared to serve as the medium for connecting your busi ness with the buying public. Anyway, Hicks don’t know it all yet. He predicted that March 17, 18 and 19 were likely to give us the greatest snow blockades of the win ter but they were among the most pleasant days of spring. Get thee to a hennery, Hicksie. Meanwhile the figures in the Taft column mount higher and higner. Obituary--Mrs. Mary A. Lawlor. Mrs. Mary A Lawlor, one of the early settlers of Potosi, succumbed to the inevitable decree of death Sunday evening, March 15th. Shortly after New Year she was stricken with paralysis. Her partial recovery at least was hoped for, but the Lord willed otherwise and for her life’s fi j.ul fever has ceased and she is at rest. During her long illness she was almost entirely helpless but endur ed all her ills with admirable pati ence and resignation. In 1838 her father, Thornhill Bui man, settled in Potosi and sent for his family in Ireland in 1841. They sailed from home in July and arrived here in October, traveling the greater part of the way from New York by way of the Erie Canal down the Ohio and up the Missis sippi river. Although but eleven years of age at the time, tbe hardships of the time spent on the ocean in the slow sailing vessel, and on the canal boats, and the forbidding aspect of the group of miners cabins, that the greater part of Potosi consisted of at that time, were ever fresh in her memory. For a time they lived in Van Buren in a hou.-e belonging to Mr. Madeira Mrs. Lawlor’s father started a brickyard and took up the work of stone mason and brick layer Tbe building once known as the “Cottage Hotel” is his work and •shows £8 yet but few signs of the ravages of time. After his death they moved to a farm in “Osceola” where Mrs Lawlor said her brother often stood in the door-way to short a deer and the howling of the wolves kept them awake at night. During the later years of her life she lived on a farm in “Long Branch” and in the village of Potosi. In 1848 she was married to Michael Lawlor, a pioneer settler, whose honest and upright character and kindness and gei erosity of heart are still spoken of with admiration by the few who are left who remem Per him as a friend and neighbor To her surtrjviug adopted chi d ren, Mary E. and Kate A Lawlor, Mrs L iwlor was the best of moth ers and they will ever hold her memory in grateful and loving re spect. Surviving her also are the children of her sisters, Mrs R John Tobin and Mrs.* Margaret Whitesell, of Washington, and of her brother, Robert Buimau, aud numerous oth r relatives ia different stages Her life was one that showed a strict adherence to the di-charge of duty and an integrity of character j For Boys from 4 to 18 yrs old, who wear Knee Trousers is this Suspender-called the “KAZOO'’ which holds up their Pants and Stockings too.

WISCONSIN On the famous Pikes Peak Cog Railway in Colorado, the steep grades of the mountain necessitate the use of cog wheels to control the train, and vibration often so injures ordinary watches that an expert repairman must readjust them. A conductor on the Pikes Peak road made a ninety-day test of the South Bend Watch last Summer. No adjustment of the watch was made for the whole period, but at the end of the test, examination showed a variation of less than one-half second per day. Do you think the watch you carry could stand a test like this ? We will be pleased to show you our line of these watches at any time. For sale and warranted by F. P. BARNETT LANCASTER, WISCONSIN
