The Roberts corrupt practices act will work a revolution in the political methods of the Stato. It is comprehensive, drastic and practically impossible to evade unless candidates are willing to commit willful and corrupt per jury in swearing to false state ments with the knowledge that their perfidy will be know to every person with whom corrupt dealings have been had, and that such persons will have the power to expose and convict whenever their demands are not met. Men may be willing to use money corruptly and to lie about it, but when compelled to sign, swear to and tile in a public office an itemized statement, giving amounts of money paid, the time Vhen and the name of the person receiving the same, with a vouch er for every payment exceeding $lO, knowing that the account is subject to an official audit, in which the candidate may lie sub jected to a searching cross-exam ination, be obliged to produce papers, checks, bank accounts, and that he cannot refuse to tes tify, even though his testimony may criminate, he will be very unwilling to use money corrupt ly to secure nomination or elec tion. Add to this the fact that every person with whom the candidate or his agents deal is also liable to be summoned «is a witness, and must also divulge everything or commit perjury for which he may bo punished, and that the penalty for disobeying the law is prosecu tion, line and imprisonment and loss of office, and the case is such that only the hardened villain or the customary criminal would venture on tiling a false state ment. The plans which the practical politicians are conceiving by which the law may be evaded will come to grief and the inventors to disgrace. The law was de manded by Ihe people, and the people, tired of being sold out by the boodler at convention and election, are in favor of enforcing this law. The immunity that has attend ed violations of the bribery laws in the past have been due to the fact that the offense was always known only to the giver and the taker, and neither could be forced to tell. The new law meets that situation by compelling all per sons to testify. If a witness re fuse he will goto jail for con tempt of court and be released when ho testifies and not before. We hail the dawn of a better day in Pennsylvania politics. All over the United States tho public attention is directed to the cor rupt use of money in politics and legislative bodies. Men high in finance and society are under in dictment for that oll'ense, and in danger of condign punishment. It is high time. The people can not all'ord to sell themselves and their liberties to tho plutocrats. If the corrupt use of money in politics is not checked free govern- the earth. The democracy will become a plutocracy, which is i more odious than a despotism.— Phil'a Press. < — THAT onion snow?

Mature j ♦i>*<i+<r+6*o+<f**o*<r+if+^i+ l >+<r+ No one around the frontier town of Lew in burg knew much of Dr. Davy. He had come into the locality without ostentation, taken up a claim four miles away and built a sod house, half above and half below ground. For a year he had dwelt there alone and had only come into town once a fortnight foi provisions. lie was called doctor because he was a doctor, though not seeking to ply his art, and no one was able to say Just how his title came to be known. Ills next neighbor was a mile away, and travelers who stopped at his house for a drink of water or to Inquire the way were treated with scant courtesy. There was considera ble gossip about the stranger, and many people shook their heads and whisper ed that the officers of the law would turn up in search of him some fine day, but after awhile, as nothing was heard against him, he was put down as a re cluse and left undisturbed. It was a year or more after Dr. Da vy's appearance that he came to town one evening to meet a young woman who stepped off the train from the east. The family resemblance was so marked that It was agreed by all that the newcomer was his daughter. She was hurried away as If the father fear ed to let the townspeople get sight of her, but it had needed only a glance to show that she was good looking and about twenty years of age. Her com ing revived the gossip, but as she was not seen in town during the next three months she was in time forgotten by all with one exception. That exception was young Joe Taylor, who had been made sheriff of the county a year be fore and who was being talked of as a candidate for the legislature. He had only to accept a nomination to be elect ed, as he was a general favorite with all. He made it his business whilo scouting the country for horse thieves to call at the Davy cabin, and he was the first and about the only one to see the daughter Mollle In her own home and to be hospitably received by the father. If he had any curiosity to gratify as an officer of the law he was dlsap ▲ BIFLB ORAOKED, AND HE PITCIIED FOB WAHD ON THE GIIASS. pointed. The doctor was free to talk, but not about himself nor his past. He was made welcome by the daughter, but he could not question her as a suspect. He called three or four times "by accident," but after that he was a weekly visitor from choice and invita tion. In time he was quite ready to acknowledge to himself that he was in I love and to hope that his feelings were , reciprocated. He was feeding up his j courage to speak his mind when some thing happened to make him turn paie and set his heart to thumping. As sheriff, he received an official document i by mail one day In which he was eom • mamled to arrest one Dr. James Bird j as an embezzler. It was Bird instead of Davy In the warrant, but the per- I eonal description fitted the man who I was living out on the prairie with his : daughter. His offense had been coui ! mitted many years before, but the com | plainant had kept the warrant alive and followed the embezzler's trail like ! a bloodhound. The demand was that I he be arrested and securely held until | extradition papers could be secured, ■ and as even the locality in which lie was in hiding was pointed out the sheriff realized that he must do his duty If it broke a woman's heart. I An hour after receiving the letter he , was on his way to the doctor's place. All the way out there he was hoping j that the doctor might have been given I a hint and fled or, if he had not, then that he might have indisputable evi dences of his Innocence at hand. Ilia face betrayed his perturbation of mind to the girl the Instant he dismounted at the door. She was alone, and ad she stood forth In the June sunshine and looked up at him she quietly said: "Mr. Taylor, I know your errand here. You have come to arrest my father on the old charge." "They—they have sent on this war rant!" stammered Joe, as he handed it to her to read. "But I'm hoping that your father is far away by this time." "He is down at the lake fishing. We had hoped that this matter was dead at last, but it seems that the man desires a malicious revenge. It says embezzlement." I Joe nodded his head as he looked away over the prairie. "But It is false.

"But father even restored the money after awhile, all but a paltry sum. He would also have restored that, unjust as It was, but he has been hounded and driven till he has become des perate and determined. Is that wretch to follow him to his grave?" Joe sat down on the ground and dropped his chin on his hands and appeared to be thinking. The girl had put the warrant back into his hands, and there was a sob in her throat as tslie turned and entered the house. It was a quarter of an hour before she reappeared. Joe looked up into her face with eyes telling of sympathy and love, and a blush came to her cheek as she asked: "Well, what are you going to do about it?" "It's going—lt's going to be the hard est thing of my life," he replied, "but I've got to do my sworn duty. 1 must do it or stand Impeached. Girl, you don't know"— "Joe," she Interrupted, calling him by that name for the first time, "u girl knows when she Is loved." "Yes, she ought to, and you ought to know that I love you." "I do, Joe, and I love you in return, and you will break my heart if yon drag my old father to Jail. Say that you won't do It—that you will leave the warrant unserved." "Duty, girl," he whispered as he rose up and put his arms around her and kissed her for the first time. "Then you will arrest him?" He kissed her again and turned away toward the lake, looking at the paper in his hand through tears in his eyes. He had not taken a hundred steps, however, before a riile cracked, and he pitched forward on the grass. His horse would have dashed off at the sudden report, but It was secured by the girl. "How did it come about?" asked the doctor, who had hurried home at the report of the rifle and found his daugh ter standing over a wounded and un- : conscious man. "He-he started to the lake to find you, and a gun went off!" replied the girl between her sobs. "And—and did he have any legal paper with him?" queried the father in a whisper. "If he had, it has been burned. Tell rtie, father, is he fatally wounded?" "No. The bullet plowed along his scalp,* and he will be all right in a week. I will load up the wagon, and we must move on and find another asylum." "But the man—Mr. Taylor—Joe?" she asked. "We shall take hlra with us. He will need my skill and your nursing for some days to co^ie." It was two weeks later when the sheriff opened his eyes and saw Mollie Davy seated near his bedside. The old claim had been left a hundred miles behind and the abandoned cabin of a settler had been taken possession of. Joe Taylor had been nursed and tend ed through fever as the wagon rolled along. "Mollie, I take it that it was betwixt ' dad and me?" he said as she saw tha' he had come back to earth again. "It was, Joe," Bhe replied. "But* now"— "But now it's betwixt you and me, and as soon as I can shake myself to gether Pi! fix things so that you won't have to do any more moving. Thanka dear, that you shot a little too high!" Lighting the Yale Log, A custom at one time prevalent In England and still observed In some of the northern districts of the old coun try Is that of placing log of wood, sometimes the root of a great tree, In the wide chimney place. This log Is often called the Yule log, and It was on Christmas eve thut It was put on the wide hearth. Around It would gather the entire family, and their en trance was the occasion of a great deal of cwemony. There wag music and re joicing, while the one authorised to ■light It was obliged to have clean hands. It was always lighted with a brand left over from the lag of the pre vious year, which had been careful); preserved for that purpose.

I i —•— VARIETY IN CHEWING. Gum and Tobacco Arc Not the Oalr Materials Utilised. Gum chicle, which forms the basis of most American chewing gums, Is by no means the only chewing material, though chewing gum Ims spread over a large portion of the world. Among the old fashioned the gum of the spruce tree Is still in greater favor, and druggists near the great spruce [ belts drive a thriving trade in the brown i lumps. I Although the chicle comes from the tropics, It Is seldom used as a chewing gum there, uueured rubber being the fashion. In Peru "cuca," or cocoa leaves, form the staple chew, the plant | being a powerful stimulant, since from its leaves cocaine is extracted. In the east the betel nut Is chewed In prefer ence. the nut being prepared with lime. To It might be accorded Uie place of first prominence, since because of the congestion of population practically one-tentb of the human race give it their preference. One of the oddest chews Is the leaden bullet wlileh the English soldier used to chew before the Introduction of the Jacketed bullets now In use. They de clared that It lessened their thirst and to some extent deadened their hunger on long marches. And then there Is tobacco. ODD THINGS ABOUT WORDS. Whcu the Word "Lunch" Was First Used It Meant a "Lamp.*' A "lunch," L'tymologlcally, is Just a lump. In the sixteentli century a "lunch of bacon" meant merely a slice or hunk of It Bo Burns speaks of bread and cheese "dealt about In | lunches," and Scott records that "little 1 Bcujle was ramming a huge luncheon of pio crust Into his mouth." While In modern times "lunch" is an abbrevia tion from "luncheon," the latter was originally an elongation of "lunch." A philologist shows how the old "noon sheuk," noon drink, came to mean noon eating, and to appear as "nunsheon," and the development thereafter of "luncheon" from "lunch" wai very natural. Curious changes of words sometimes take place between two languages. Thus English has borrowed the French "poseur" and has given to France "snob" in trade. Frenchmen have a way of taking a polysyllabic word and using half of It. Thus of "steeple chase they have appropriated the "steeple," and now the French sports man speaks of "mounting a steeple' when be means to ride a race over the customary obstacles. A smoking Jack et Is with him a "suioklng" and a sleep ing car Is a "sleeping." Speed Rate*.

Across the water, on I which a fleet of white ferryboats ply, rises the broad front of the palace, the Btern outline of which is relieved by the russet glow which time has lent to the brickwork. In front of the palace runs a broad quay crowded with shipping, j behind which one may catch peeps of | narrow, winding streets, with sloping roofs and painted houses bent with age. The square front of the palace rises above the red and gray roofs, seeming to command the old city. On my right the waters narrow to a swift rushing stream, over which a stately bridge has been thrown, uniting the palace with the picturesque pile of the opera house, or, rather, with the broad square in which it stands. Behind the opera house lie broad streets of mod ern houses, in which there are unex pected glimpses of waterways crowded with shipping. "Stockholm is built on a series of is lands formed by Lake Malarcn. It Is, indeed, the city of a thousand islands and rocky reefs, which are sown broad cast many miles beyond the mainland, where the lake and river join the sea. The steamers which ply up and down the lake afford endless excursions. Seaward you may sail a day among the Islands until you reach the long, low reefs on which the Baltic beats.

't Warn a Luxury In This Country In the Eitfliteentli Cent dry. The first newspaper notice that an nounced the sale of eocoa and chocolato In America reail: "Amos Track, at bis bouse a little bo low the Bell tavern In Danvers, makes and sells chocolate which he will war rant to be good and takes cocoa to grind. Those who may please to favor him with their custom may depend up on being well served, and at a very cheap rate." This notice appeared in the Essex Gazette of Massachusetts on the 18th of June, 1771, five years before the signing of the Declaration of Independ ence. Despite Mr. Trask's assurance that his rate was cheap, chocolate was very expensive and beyond the purse of any but the wealthy folk. Wouldn't they be surprised to see how generally chocolate Is sold these days In packages as cheap as a penny? When the Spanish soldier Cortes con quered Mexico In 1510 he found the people very fond of a drlnlc called "chocolatl." This was served to the ruler Montezuma In a cup of solid gold. When the Spaniards went home they Introduced this drink Into their coun try, but It remained very expensive. The secret of Its preparation wag never allowed to get out of Spain.
