His...
Affinity.
Mr S iomon Jackson lived in the
village if Si arsdale He was a bach
e! r and 4" years old. One day he
was driving through ihe streets of
the t wn if (lien Hope. 2" miles
fr m home, when he saw a woman
standing at her gate Mr Jaikson
i illed up l.is h >rse and gazed at her
in astonishment. She returned the
gaze with one of indignation He
drove on after a m mint, hitched
his hors--. and then returned.
Lady, permit me to hope that
vnu are a wid w." he said.
i am. sir," she replied stiffly.
"Have you any business with me?"
I have. I will return in half
an nour"
Mr Jaikson went to the nearest
store and made inquiries. He was
told that the woman was the widow
Lester, and had been for the last
ten years. Nothing but words of
praise lould be spoken of her
In half an hour he knocked at the
widow's do-r. and when he hail
beiii asked to sit down he began:
answir. but 1 cannot expect it It
"Widow, have you ever heard that
every man and woman has an affin
ity ?"
1 don't understand you."
"There is someone in this world
for you, and someone for me 1
knew you were for me as soon as I
clapped eyes on y u. \ ou are my
affinity. We were bound to meet It
has taken years and years, but we
are face to face at last. Widow—"
The widow Les'er rose up and or
dered Mr. Jackson from the house
and 'old him to take th»- rapid
transit line in leaving. Without a
w rd of i r test he went. Three days
l.vcr she answered a knock on the
door to find the bowing and smiling
Mr Jackson. In her surprise she in
vited him in, and tic said:
"Wid iw 1 nm lnnp man—you
arc u lone woman You have about
three th usand dollars worth of
property — 1 have the same. My
hair would he gray if 1 didn't use
dye —- yours would he the same. 1
have a squint to my left eye—-you
have one. You have a slight limp
fp tn falling down the cellar stairs,
probably—mine was caused the same
way. Don't you see the point of re
semblance?"
Mr Jackson wont out of doors
again and was warned that his next
c;il) would result In his arrest. The
widow wn- mad all through. The
only consolatl n she had was that
he hadn't mentioned her glass eye.
She had w rn one for years, and
only a few neighbors were in the
secret. She looked upon the man
as half crazy, but meant it when
she threatened him.
In a iew days Mr. Jackson return
ed. Ho got no fart tier than the
door-tep this time, hut he stood
there with hat off and said:
"Widow. 1 can no more help it
than you could have helped having
whooping cough when y< u were a
child. The more 1 think about you
the surer I am that you are my affin
ity, and the harder I love you. It
isn't me. hut Fate. i ou have a
glass eye — - so have I You—'
The wid w walked across the
street 'o the house of the constable
and had Mr. Jackson arrested. He
was taken before a justice of the
peace and fined $10. He cheerfully
handed over the money, and said
to his onor and tlie ethers:
“Gentlemen, make no mistake.
I’m nei'her crazy nor a nuisance. 1
am simply a victim of Fate. Mrs.
Lester is my affinity. 1 shall marry
her. No law ever made can heat
Fate."
"You let the widow alone or you
may find yourself in jail." warned
the justice, and it was generally be
lieved that would end it.
It did — for a week. Then came
Mr. Jackson's knock on 'he door. It
wasn't opened to him. but from a
second floor window he was com
manded to leave.
UclL 1\ a^aiu, V4V.I.. " — - I
you see," he replied as he raised his
hat ' i w anted to keep away, but
Fate was too strong for me. You
are the magnet that draws. 1 want
to prove to you that 1 am an honor
able man, and then I want to tell
you that I am fully determined to
marry you.”
The widow appealed to a passerby
and Mr. Jackson was facing the
squire again an hour later The
whole town had n w become inter
ested. It was known who he was,
and that his head was level, but
his was a queer way of making love.
"This time I shall give you ten
days in the county jail!” said his
honor after the widow had sworn
that she was being annoyed.
"With pleasure, judge," was the
reply. "Many a man has gone to
jail for the woman he loved, and 1
shall make no kick. I respect the
Widow Lester in the highest. I also
love her in the most honorable way.
It is Fate. She is my affinity.
“The next time it may be thirty,"
was tne warning as the prisoner was
removed to jail.
Within an hour he had provided
himself with writing material and
was writing the history of his life
When finished he sent it to the
Wildow Lester. He composed vers
es and sent them to her. He wrote
that he was a martyr for her sake.
He recommended certain books for
her reading during her leisure hours.
She had a garden back of the house.
He recommended something more ef
ficacious than Paris green for pota
to bugs. Not two hours a day passed
that a messenger from the jail was
not knocking at her door.
The widow's first thought was to
send everything back unopened, but
woman's curiosity triumphed. She
read and looked grim. Then she
read and felt a secret sympathy.
Then she was real sorry that she had
been the means of sending the man
to Jail. He hadn’t said a thing out
of the way. He had simply been
rather plainspoken.
Mr. Jackson hadn't served out half
his sentence when his case had made
an Impression, although he was not
to know It. In addition to his son
nets and idyls and poems, he began
sending a so^t of diary, as follows:
“7 o’clock A. M. — Awoke to
think of ray charming widow. Heav
en bless her!"
"9 A. M.-Am suffering for the
dear widow, but am proud of the
fact. Wish 1 could suffer harder.”
"H A M- — 1? aijly dear wo
man would send me a little note in
answaer, but I cannot expect it. It
grieves me to the quick to think I
have grieved her."
“Noon — Only bailed cabbage aud
musty pork for dinner, but I am
not complaining. I trust that my
affinity Is sitting down to a queenly
feast."
When Mr Jackson’s sentence had
expired the Jailer warned him that
he had het’er make for Ills home
a ;. . • >. canti r Mr Jackson
didn't do an. stu li thing He made
for the Widow Lester's. The widow
had tut tier Sunday dress and was
invited in He was Invited to take
looking as t est as a pin When the
knock came at the d or she was
lis’enlng for it. It was noonday,
and she had the tatde set nnd a boll
ed dinner ready Mr Jackson was
the head ef the table The conver
sation was general until the meal
was finished Then he produced and
read a poem of 1 •* verses It affect
ed the widow, and there were tears
standing In her eyes as she asked:
And now what do you mean by
affinlti I d n't kn-'w what the word
signifies."
Easy as easy, my dear Certain
people are soulmates. We are. for
instance Kate decreed w hen we were
horn that we should mee’ and love
and marry.”
"But 1 married Mr, lister and
you never married at all."
"That was only that we might
love the more when we did meet."
"La. me. but it's a’l so curious!"
"But your heart tells you some
thing. doesn't It?"
"I—I guess so, since ycu went to
jail They say you aro o good
man."
"None better, affinity. Let your
heart keep right on believltfg it."
At that moment the constable
knocked at the door and asked of
Mrs. Iyester:
"Want him arrested and Jailed
again, ma’am?"
"Oh. Ixird. no!” she replied. ‘‘Why.
1 expect I've got to marry him as

UP
TO _
REBEL LEADER HAS LAST WORD
BEFORE WARFARE CAN
BE ENDED.
EL, PASO. Tex., March 29. —
Francisco I. Madero, president of the
insurrectos and their leader in the
field, has not been consulted about
any peace terms, and no settlement
of the war in Mexico would be ac
cepted without his final word, which
alone would be regarded as binding.
At the present Madero. disregarding
recent politiial changes at Mexico
City, is arranging his men about Chi
huahua, the nietr polis of northern
Mexico, with a view possibly of be
sieging the city.
Insurrecto leaders gave out this
information today witu the stipula
tion that it was not intended to
minimize the importance of asser
tions made by Francisco !. Madero,
Sr., and Gustavo A. Madero at San
Antonio, Tex., that tentative plans
now being considered may result in
peace within a month.
That Madero's father and brother
have some peace plans, backed up
by assurances from Mexico City, is
not doubted, but it is stated em
phatically that any action toward
the settlement of the war without
full participation by the insurrecto
leader would not be popular among
the men now in arms.
Have Diaz' Consent.
The Maderos at San Antonio are
believed here to have gone to the
frontier with the express purpose of
getting into communication with
F-ancisco Madero, Jr, and possibly
of meeting with him. Whether they
would venture into the interior by
way of FI Paso, or by railroad to
Chihuahua City, via Eagle Pass or
Faredo, Tex., is not known here,
but a significant statement made at
the junta today was that "if the
Maderos go into Mexico it will be
witn the consent of the Mexican
government." This was taken to in
dicate that Mexico City is willing
that any peace overtures shall be
presented to the insurrecto leader.
From El Paso, the trip to Madero
would require several days of hard
travel, as all the railroads from
here south are destroyed. Madero
is about one day’s march west of
Chihuahua City, and 225 miles south
of El Paso. The junta here has kept
up as continuous communication
with him as was possible by courier
service. Madero thus has been in
formed of all roccnt events, but it
is not known that he has received
any late advices from his father.
Attack on Chihuahua.
Three of Madero's staff officers, in
cluding Rafael Aguilar, a former
captain in the Mexican army, are
now on the way to El Paso. L.
Gutierrez de Lara, an insurrecto
captain who figured prominently in
the battle at Casas Grandes, arriv
ed today. He said the iusurrectos
were wholly ignorant of any peace
plans. His opinion was the iusur
rectos were enthusiastic and deter
mined to carry on the war. De La
ra reported definitely that Martin
Ryan, an American cf Albuquerque,
N. M., had been killed.
A message received today from
Chihuahua said:
"Great uneasiness is being felt over
the increasing number of insurrectos
about the city. Madero Is at San
: Andres, to the west.
“It is believed that the insurrec
tos are planning either to attack
or besiege the city, although the
arrival of General Rabage and his
reinforcements has aroused some
confidence.”
A gang of workingmen arriving
on a handcar over the Mexico North
western railroad today, said the rail
road was rapidly being repaired from
Casas Grandes northward. it was
hoped socn to repair the bridges to
enable train service to be resumed.
Colonel A. C. Sharpe, commander
of the Twenty-second infantry, today
made a request to Washington that
El Paso hereafter be constituted a
regimental point, This would triple
the force now here. Colonel Sharpe
said no emergency had arisen to re
quire the immediate presence of
more troops, but he considered a
border city of this size should h*
better garrisoned.
REBELS- PURSUE AMERICANS.
CALEXICO, Mexico, April 8.—The
managers of the Cudahy ranch wyre
pursued q Considerable distance
across country by Mexican rebels
yesterday. The ranchers started for
the border in their automobiles £Uti
when their departure was discover
ed thgy w*re Pursued, and for some
distance the bullets flying about
their heads made their ride a dan
gerous ope.
WITNESS PITCHES VOICE ABOV
NOISE TO CRY HIS DENIAL
OF CHARGE.
VITERBO. Italy, March 29. — Th
entire sitting in the trial of the Can
orrists was occupied today In the fui
ther examination of Gennaro Abbt
temaggio. whose testimony was cot
stantly Interrupted by shouts frnr
the prisoners' cage.
Tho president of the court, Sif
nor Bianchi, interrogated the wi
ness at great length during the a
ternoon concerning contradictions i
his statements made at differen
times To the question of the pre;
ident as to whether he suffered frer
epilepsy, Abbatemaggio replied i
the negative.
"Here is a military certificate,
said President Bianch., "stating iha
you left the army after three attack
of epilepsy."
“Then I did it purposely to b
sent home from the army," sai
tho witness.
The lawyers for the defens
jumped to their feet shouting:
"Then you deceived the military
and you are now trying to deceive
the judicial authorities'."
Prisoner* Radiant.
During the questioning of Abbatc
maggio by the president, the pris
oners were radiant in the belief tha
the severity with which the pres:
dent selected disputed points to
explanation was a good omen in thei
behalf.
Giuseppe Salvt. who is one o
those charged with being directl;
responsible for the murder of Cuocc
lo and his wife, kissed his hand b
the president, while Erricone, th
Camorrist leader, explained:
"The cylinder of the phonograpl
is exhausted."
rtuuatviuaf,ft*v j .......... -
interrupted by Corrado Sortino, cne
of those alleged to have killed the
Cuoceolos, who asserted that the in
former had declared that Sortino's
brother was a member of the Cam
orra.
"You Are a Liar." He Shouts.
"Rls'ng from his seat in the
prisoners' cage. Sortino shouted:
"You are a liar! My brother is
one of the world's greatest sculptors
He lives in Paris, where he is the
intimate of notables."
This gave excuse for a tumult, the
other prisoners and their lawyers
crying out: "Abbatemaggio is a cal
umniator.”
The informer, recognizing a trick
to impair his testimony, raised his
voice above the chorus, yelling:
"I never said that Sortino's broth
er was a Camorrist.”
The confusion continued and the
president was compelled to suspend
the sitting.
The policy of the accused Is to
catch Abbatemaggio In contradic
tions, or untruths, if only in sec
ondary matters and so discredit his
whole story.
CHICAGO. March 29. — Chicago
Italians, under threats of death, have
contributed $100,000, it is believed,
for the defense of Luigi Arena and
his brother Camorrists on trial at
[ Viterbo, Italy. This information was
! given by a resident of "Little Slc
j il.v, and in part was verified by
records of the postofflce and o. the
I banks.
BEERY KISS WIFE’S
|
—
AUTHOR OF "LAVENDER AND
OLD LACE” SAYS SERVANTS
ARE BETTER TREATED.
I -
CHICAGO, March 29. — "Man is a
cheap skate, and woman almost
is as bad,”
This doesn’t sound much like
“lavender and Old Lace,” but It was
the author of that “sweet-scented
manuscript,” Myrtle Reed McCul* j
lough, who said it i'l effect to thu |
somewhat scandalized members of
the Ravenswood Women’s club.
The author was outlining her views
on matrimony.
“The wife,” she sa.d, “gets her
board, her clothes, and a few kind
words, while her servant in the kit
chen gets her board, her clothes
and $7 a week. If the average hus
band used the same language to his
domestics as he docs to his wife,
: his skull would be corrugated from
collisions with the rolling pin.
“The man’s argument: ‘Well, I
support her,’ breaks down complete
ly before this state of tacts. If any
thing further were needed it might
be pointed out that he also supports
the women in hl3 office. His em
ployes do not feel under any partic
ular obligations to him for that.
Pay Better Than Beery Kiss.
"You would have great difficulty
in finding a working woman In this
great city willing to exchange her
weekly pay envelope for her employ
er’s whispered ’darling’ and his beery
kiss. Marriage in a good many
cases Is a gold brick game In which
the man exchanges that Intangible
thing called love for the wife's real
service.
“The modern woman is suffering
from atavism. Modern living condi
tions have brought this about. His
tory has repeated Itself, and women
are back to the cave-dwelling age.
The up-to-date flat is the troglodyte’s
cave embellished with open plumb
ing and electric lights.
"Eighty-six per cent, of the wo
men of the United States virtually
are cave dwellers. They toll all day
In the little caves they call home,
while the man roams the highways
seeking whom he may devour.
Slaughtered Birds Her Delight.
“She bedecks herself with the
teeth and hides of wild beasts, and
never Is so happy as when she is
able to parade herself before the
world glorified In the feathers of
some poor b\rd slaughtered by a
brute of a man.
“Woman will never be able to
emancipate herself until she puts
all this aside. Qorsets, French heels
and pursing bottles are the claims
that bind her to ’-he husband's
chariot wheels. The truly great wo
men of the world have been Icono
clasts. They laughed at convention.

SUFFRAGETTES ARE
INDIGNANT WOMEN TOSS HEADS
AS MISS COUZINS RAPS
EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
I
SPRINGFIELD, III.. March 29.—
Snapping eyes anti an indignant tcss
of the head from time to time evi
denced the displeasure of Mrs. Cath
erine Waugh McCulloch, Miss Har
riet Grim and other suffragette lead
ers, as they listened to the address
of Miss Phoebe Couzins. of Washing
ton. I>. C., in the hall of represent
atives this morning.
In language keenly sarcastic, Miss
Couzins excoriated equal rights and
votes fcr women. Her address was
the first argument presented in the
session against woman suffrage by a
woman. Few suffragette lead< rs
kvere present when Miss Couzins be
f;an speaking. In a short time
the galleries and lobby of the main
floor of the house were well filled
with a female gathering.
House Members Hear Speech.
Practically the entire house mem
bership heard the speech in which
'Miss Couzins argued that the en
trance of women into pilitics has
been untenable and not productive
of good results. Several senators
also occupied scats in the body of
the house and heard the speech.
Mrs. McCulloch and Miss Grim oc
cupied seats upon the flo r in frent
of the speaker’s stand. Both busied
themselves in taking extensive notes.
At the conclusion of her speech Miss
Couzins left the house without meet
ing any of the suffragettes.
’’When did you experience your
change of heart cn this burning
question?” was asked the warlike
Phoebe.
Turned Down Gevernor Waite.
"After I had seen Governor Waite
of Colorado pushed into oblivion by
a woman-handled gang of woman
voters—the very women who bene
fited by the suffrage ne had gained
for them.” replied the militant
Phoebe.
Miss Couzins has established head
quarters in the bridal chambers of
the St. Nicholas. She has been in
conference with Senator Beall of
Alton, the stork mayor and the au
thor of the referendum amendment
to the pending suffrage bill, and
with Representative Chlperfleld of
Canton, who Is supposed to hold the
house machine under his control.
Of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, who re
cently spoke in Denver. Miss Cou
zins says:
Opinion ot Miss Pankhurst.
"I knuw nothing which is working
for the destruction of the Canadian
reciprocity pact and an arbitration

as this young woman rushing about

TAKE IT.
There is a jolly Saxon proverb
That is pretty much like this:
That a man is half in heaven
When he hao a n-omin’s kiss.
But there's danger in delaying—
And the sweetness may forsake it.
So I tell you bashful lover.
If you want a kiss, why take it.
Never let another fellow
"Steal a march” on ycu like this.
Never leave a laughing maiden
When she's spoiling for a kiss;
There’s a royal way of kissing—
And the jolly ones who make it,
Have a motto that is winning—
“If you want a kiss, why take it.”
Any fool can face a cannon.
Anybody wear a crown,
But a man must win a weman.
If he’d have her for his own.
Would you have the golden apple?
You must find the tree and shake
it,
If the thing is worth the having,
And you want a kiss, why take it.
Who would burn upon the desert
With a forest smiling by?
Who would give his sunny summer
For a bleak and misty sky?
O, I tell you there is magic
And ycu cannot, cannot break it,
For the sweetest part of loving
Is to want a kiss and take it.
Fatal Objection.
