re-nomination and re-election. Fol

of accomplishments and fidelity to
duty, entitles him to the indorsement
of a second term, which I bellve the
inherent sense of fairness and justice

CLARENCE DARROW GAINS
AND LOSES IN COURT
. LOS ANGELES, Feb.27. Clarence
S. Darrow, the Chicago attorney in
dicted for jury bribing, suffered both
a loss and a gain in court proceedings
invoving charges against him today.
The loss was the expected plea of
guilty which Bert Franklin, the form
er McNamara detective, entered to a
charge of attempted influencing of a
juror in the trial of James B. McNa
mara, the dynamiter now serving a
life sentense in San Quentin Peniten
tiary. Franklin's plea was taken as
proof that he would be the state's
chief witness against Darrow, who di
rected the McNamara defense.
A Queer Remedy.
Francis Grose, whose work, on the
popular superstitions of the day was
compiled in the year 1787. says: "The
peasants of Suffolk have a simple and
never failing cure for ague. It is this:
Write the word 'abacadabara' In form
as shown below, place It In a nutshell
and wear the same about the neck."
The form Is here given:
ABACADABARA
BA.. CAD A BAR
A C A D A B A

It would be Interesting to know In
how many different ways In this ar
rangement of letters the word may be
spelled.
Repudiated National Debts.
Spain, at one time by far the most
powerful of European nations, was the
earliest power to contract a national
.debt, which in 1556 only amounted to
the modest sum of 1.000,000 By 1610
It had grown to 40,000.000 under Phil
ip III., after whose death the whole of
It was repudiated.
.France in 1643 began to incur her
debt, chiefly through the wars of Louis
XIV. and the lavish expenditure in
building Versailles. In the later years
of Louis XVI. this amounted to 468,
000,000, only to be repudiated on the
establishment of the republic, when
some creditors received 33 per cent
and others nothing.

HAZEL TOOZE.
MY LITTLE
SISTER
By EDWARD L. SPENCER
1 was brought up In luxury, but
without father, mother, brother or sis
ter. When I became six years old and
was still kept from going about with
other boys nature rebelled against not
having playmates, and those who were
.responsible for me were obliged to
make some provision in that direction.
I lived in the house in which I was
born, my father having died before and
my mother at the time of my birth. I
knew nothing about this, being taken
care of by a Mrs. Perkins. One day
she brought Into my playroom a girl
about ray own age and. told me she
had a little sister for me. At that age
I felt no great surprise aa to the exist
ence of a sister, though I remember
asking some questions as to why I had
never seen her before. I would have
preferred a brother, but was neverthe
less delighted to be relieved of my
loneliness, and from that time forward
my life was very different from what
It had been.
Lucy was my sister's name, and since
we were kept from other children we
grew very much attached to each oth
er. I was a fiery little fellow, while
Lucy was of the quiescent kind. She
was always soothing me. There was
a good deal of the boy in me or I
might have become effeminate, playing
as I did all the while with a girl. I
think I did not miss boy associates as
much as I would had I not become so
much attached to Lucy.
The reason why I was kept so close
at home was "that my mother, knowing
that she must leave me to the care of
others, had manifested to Mrs. Per
kins, who was to bring me up, a fear
that I would learn "badness" from
my associates, which she, my mother,
would not be with me to counteract.
Had it not been for a strong masculine
nature in me I would have been spoil
ed as a result of this motherly timidr
lty. Mrs. Perkina engaged tutors for
me anil for Lucy as well, and. being
educated alone, when we were fifteen
years old we' knew as little about the
world as when we had been just
brought together.
It was at this time that Lucy and I
began to discuss our situation. Why
was it that we had no parents like oth
er children? Why had we never met
till we were about six years old?
These and other similar questions came
up for discussion, and we asked Mrs.
Perkins for answers to them. But she
evaded giving direct answers, and we
were no wiser than we were before
All we could get out of her was,
"When you come of -age you will know
all about it." .
When I was in my sixteenth year 1
was sent to .boarding school, where I
prepared for' college, Lucy being sent
at the same time to a girls" seminary.
I was dreadfully homesick for Lucy,
and she wrote me that she suffered the
same for me. During my stay at school
there was no one to tell me anything
about myself more than I knew. Two
years after that I went to college, and
the period in which I was born over
which seemed to hang a veil began to
interest me. I was old enough to make
an investigation, but when Mrs. Per
kins said I would know all about it
when I was twenty-one I preferred to
wait. One thing -espeecially deterred
me, a dread lest I should find out some
thing I would rather not know.
While I wsis at college Lucy discov
ered what was being kept from us. but
she did not tell me. I cacje home one
vacation during my senior year at col
lege and met her there. I threw my
arms about her and kissed her. as 1
had been accustomed to do at our meet
ings, and was surprised to see a blush
on her cheeks. I wondered at the time
what it meant, but it soon passed out
of my mind.
However, from this time I noticed
a great change in Lucy's treatment of
me. She seemed constrained. I was
telling her one day of a girl friend of
mine who I liked very much. Lucy
looked serious. I persisted in sounding
my friend's praises, and Lucy suddenly
got up to leave the room. I caught
her and. pulling her down beside me.
told her that she need not fear for my
deserting her for a sweetheart or a
wife, for 1 would never marry and did
not see how I could bear to have her
marry. This seemed to satisfy her,
and she smiled at me through her
tears.
I was twenty-one years old a month
after being graduated' from college. A
lawyer had notified ine that he would
call on me on my birthday, and he did
so. Lucy and I were both at home.
The lawyer said he wished to see us
together and told the secret. My past
or most of it has been told. Lucy's
was as follows:
Her father died when she was two
years old and her mother when she
was three. Our mothers were sisters
enjoying an undivided fortune. They
had arranged that we should be
brought up together and for each oth
er. The fact of our being kept in ig
norance that we were cousins was that
In the beginning of our intimacy Mrs.
Perkins had told me she had a little
sister for me. She thought nothing of
it at the time, but put off telling us
the truth til we had grown to an age
at which she did not like to disabuse
our minds. Besides this, she thought
the plan of our mothers to unite us
when we came of age would be best
served by our being kept In ignorance
of the truth.
The will of my mother and of Lucy's
mothor expressed a wish that we
should marry.
And we did.
