The J I I speech had been made on, I JL I 'idea of the case, and the " attmmer for the etate bad grown aerere and elonent In urging conviction. The Jury had remained in retirement all. the morning and at laat bad filed in and rendered their ver dict David JJucfcley, the prisoner at ths bar, was found, guilty of having deliberately and M the night stolen a "bale of cotton from a neighbor's barn, branded it as his own and taken it to market the next day. He was a short, thickset man near the age of sixty gray, stiff haired and BuIIe-u'. faced, 'and Just now more" an gry, It was thought, at certain neigh bors who had testified against him than chagrined at the verdict of the court. He glanced at his wife, who sat against the railing behind him, and then r tared steadily at the floor till the sheriff came and led him back to JalL Later in the afternoon he was brought back to receive his sentence. The Judge, a tall, powerful man, dark of hair and eye and as brown as a Spaniard, was about to order him to stand up when Hiram Hlllyer, a well to do cotton and grain merchant of tbe town, rose and begged permission to speak to the judge in private before the prisoner was sentenced. "Well, I reckon we've got time, Mr. Hinder," the judge said pleasantly. "If It's anything in Bwckley's favor I'd like to hear it. I've been on the bench seven years, and I don't think I ever had a man before me that was painted as black by his neighbors." Making his way through the cluster of lawyers and students of the law around the stove to one of the vacant Jury rooms, the merchant waited for the judge to Join him, and when he came Hlllyer, nervously pulling at his short, gray beard, faced him, an eager look in his mild blue eyes. "I'm afeard it ain't nothln' in the old man's favor, Judge Moore," he fal tered. "The truth is, I'm a-thlnkln' about his son. Judge, ef thar ever was a finer, .more honest an' upright boy than George Buckley, I hain't nev er run across 'lm." "Ob, you can't tell me anything about George," said Judge Moore. "He and I are friends. He voted for me and legged for me In the Upper Tenth dis trict. Ah, so he sent you to me, did be? Well, what does George want? I waa glad he wasn't in court to bear all that stuff against bis daddy." "You see, we thought me'n' George both thought that maybe yon mought Justice mought be carried out by im posln' a pretty heavy fine, an' " "Olid Buckley Isn't able to pay a cent," broke la the judge. "I've made inquiries, and if his little farm is sold it will leave his old wife without any means of making a support. No, the jig's up with him." "But George's been savin' money for the laat five years," said Hlllyer anx iously. "I've got it borrowed from Im at regular rates. I can lay my hands on the money at a moment's notice. Yes, he can raise a, reasonable amount all right" ' Judge .Moore frowned, thrust his hands Into thct, poc&etf, o( his trousers and turned t a window whleh looked out on the courtyard, where a few Idlers lay on the grass near the hitch ing rack. "I'm not going to be the medium throngh which deserving Innocent peo ple suffer for the guilty," be said firmly. "I've thought it all over. I was afraid George might aak this, but if s no go. I've made up my mind on that score." "Oh, Judge, don't say that!" pleaded Hlllyer. "The boy simply can't bear it You see, Judge Moore, since I tuck 'lm an' sent 'lm off to school he's been sorter away from his home, an' the feller's got as much feelln' as any body else. Then when he got through college. an', I give, 'lm a place in my business, hes stood with the best folks In the town, an' it would go hard with 'lm to have jiisyowil daddy at the coal mines." "I know all that, Mr. Hlllyer. I've thought of It twenty times during this trial. I hardly slept last night trying to make up my mind what to do in case the Jury didn't recommend Buck ley to mercy. Well, they came down on 'lm like a load of bricks, an' I'm not going to let George suffer for him. Why, the old rascal can't be cured of his dishonesty. Didn't you hear what Bradley said about his constantly steal ing from his neighbors, many of whom never made any charge against him out of respect for Mrs. Buckley and George? No, sir; his son, who is my friend, shall not sacrifice his savings for him." "Then I'll pay it, judge; you know I am able." "Yon shan't do that, either," said the Judges firmly. "Even if Fd consent to let as old a man as you be out of pocket for such a hopeless reprobate, George would find It out and insist on repaying yon in the long ran. No; five years in the mines will do the old scam? good, and rm-.gplag to secure his Iranfpotatio".- "Ypu think that s final then, judge T Hlllyer had turned quite pale, and the quivering hand, which had clutched his No More Stomach Troubles.

"Then ril go back to the store an' tell the boy," Hlllyer sighed as he moved to the door, a dead look of dis appointment In bis eye. As Hlllyer was making his way through the courtroom to the. outer door the wife of the condemned man reached out her hand and stopped him. She had clutched the tall of his long frock coat "I want to speak to you," she said. "Go ahead. I'm goln' outside." He led the way down the stairs to the yard below and then paused, to hear what she had to say. "I seed you Invite the judge out," Bhe began. ' I suspicloned you axed 'lm to make It a fine." "Yes, thaf s what I called 'im out fer, Mrs. Buckley," the merchant said, looking down commlserately on her fat figure clothed in dingy black calico, "but it wasn't a bit o' use. He's made up his mind to send the old man off for five years." The woman nodded slowly. "Well, I reckon It's as good as we kin expect" she said. "Ef it had been a fine, George would 'a' had to pay it an' I'm agin that proposition. He's weckedv hard to make bis little start, an' it ain't right fer im to have to give it up when Mr. Hillyer, I've heard that pore boy beg an' beg his pa to change, an' ef he's, predicted this thing once he has fifty times." "I knew that too," replied the mer chant with a dark frown. "But George is jest so situated right now, Mrs. Buckley, that he'd sacrifice all be expects to make in the next ten years to avoid the disgrace o" the sentence. He holds his own with the biggest folks In town, an' this Is simply awful. You know how some o these blue blooded families look on a thing like this." "Jest about as sensible as they look on most things," retorted Mrs. Buck ley philosophically, "an' I don't see no use in numorin' 'em. They may know a man's a thief, but ef he hain't pub licly branded they don't care. But David has broke the law; thar ain't no change to be made in lm, an' I'm agin lettin' it hamper George, no matter, what these shallow minded aristocrats think. What's botnerin' me is another thing." "You say It is, Mrs. Buckley V And the merchant stared expectantly. "Yes, Mr. Hlllyer. George hain't got but one weakness, an' that is, once in a long while, when he is in despair, be will take a drink to drown his trou ble. I reckon he hain't tetched a drap but once since he's been with you." "An' that was the time they threat ened to jail yore husband fer pennin' up Wilson's bogs, an' we succeeded in squashih the charge." "Yes, that was the time" the old wo man pushed back hec.gUaghaja poke bonnet and looked straight Into Hill yers eyes "an' I am anxious to find out ef this thing has made him" "Not yet Mrs. Buckley." Hll Iyer's voice had fallen very low; it was al most husky. "But I've been that afeard It would start !lm off that I hain't been able to sleep a,t, night. He's in a' awful state o' mind, Mrs. Buckley, an' when I go back an' tell 'im the judge's de cision I don't know what lae'll do.' A fine piece o metal will: bend; Jest so far an' then if 11 break." The old woman nodded again slowly and then said; ,?1TCeU, X$ -g9-vbvck in side. This is, a jiew wrinkle, on me. It's considered right an' proper fer folks to go to the grave with the'r kin, an' I reckon thar d be talk ef I shirk ed hearjn'.the sentence, but tell George I'll come down to the store after awhile." "All right Mrs. Buckley. I'll tell 'lm." As Hillyer turned toward the gate to reach the little street which stretch ed out lined with cottages and brick law offices, to the red brick freight de pot at the far end, one of the loungers on the grass rose and slouched toward him. "Have they sentenced Buckley yet?" he asked. "I'm a witness on that barn burnin' case, an' ef it ain't a-goin' to be called tonight I'm a-goin' home." "If a next . on the docket",, the .mer chant informed hlm The man had another question ready. "What's cotton bringin' today V he asked. "I've got a big white bale ready fes-the gin." "Seven and three-eights" ,fnswered Hlllyer, and he walked on. On the main thoroughfare of the town he had to pass several brick stores where the clerks and , jnerjchantf stood amid the heaps of their, waxes on the, narrow brick sidewalks, and- many, of them asked about the Buckley trial. Hlllyer saade short but considerate replies and hastened past On a corner of one of the streets running back to a railroad sidetrack,' In the rear, stood, his ware house. Here he found his negro porter busy with rattling floor trucks loading a box car with bags of grain. The of fice was a commodious room cut off w,ari K,1;C f t rrhaw. i... , ...

Turning: Jiis head and seeing who It was, he removed his heels from the rung of the stoo and turned round,' There, was a steady Ttare in his eyes as he fixed them on Hlllyer'a sympathetic, almost shrink ing face. ; - "You did not sQcceed," be said, his Jlpa tightening. "No; he'd already made up his mind, George," replied the merchant . George Buckley turned' suddenly and uvuhmcc uiB rawer auu -uivjk uv i Wen, but he did not dip it In thf ink-1 staudV Hlllyer could not see his face, but he noted that the hand holdLig the pea was quivering.; : Suddenly ckley lahi the ten down, and hlllyer tard something resembling a sob or a gasp escape him, then the young roan stood down on the floor and reached for his coat and pulled it on. He was deathly pale, his eyes were flashing strangely. "George, where are you going?" The old man caught his arm, but Buck ley wrenched it from his grasp. "Let me alone, Mr. Hillyer," said be. "For God's sake, let me alone 1" "All -right George; I was Jest about" But his words fell dead on the air, for Buckley had taken his hat pulled it on, and plunged out at the door. For a moment the merchant stood like a man turned to stone, and then he hurried back over the rough floor through the warehouse to the negro, a tall, middle aged man. "Jake," he said excitedly, unable to control bis voice, "drop yore work an' run after George. Don't let 'im see you, but come back and tell me where he goes." "All right Marse Hillyer," and, leav ing his trucks, the negro hastened out at the side door of the building and sped up the street Hillyer went back into the office and sat down at his pri vate desk. Once he lowered his head to his crossed arms and it looked as If he were praying. In a few minutes Jake returned, swinging his slouch hat In his hand. "Well?" gasped Hlllyer "well?" "He went fust to de postoffice, Marse Hlllyer, but he didn't put no letter in nur wait to git any. It looked to me like be didn't know whar he was goln' ur what fer. Den he come on down by Hillhouse's bar. He stopped dar an' looked in, den he come on slow like an' stopped ag'in. Den he turned an' walked back an' went in. I went round to de back end en watched. He was at de counter pourin' him out a dram, Marse Hlllyer." "You say he was, Jake?" said the merchant "Jake, in the mornln' I want you to truck all that western wheat over on the other side. If s too damp where it is." "All right31arse Hlllyer." A moment after the negro had" left the office George Bnckley came in and resumed his seat at the counter. He opened the big ledger, dipped bis pen and began to write. Hlllyer watched him cautiously. His hand seemed steady enough, but his cheeks were "He't in a' airful staU o' mind, Mrt. . Buckley." flushed and his hair dishevelled over his brow. Just then Mrs. Buckley came into the office. She took off her bon net showing smooth, gray hair and a deeply wrinkled brow and cheeks, and stood for a moment behind her son. Hillyer fancied that their conversation might be of a private nature, and, tak ing up a grain sampler, he left the room. The sound of his heavy boots drew George Buckley's attention, and looking round be saw his mother. Her sympathetic eyes fell beneath bis wild glare. "I reckon Mr. Hillyer's already told you," she began. "Yes, he's told me.' "Well, thar alnjt but one thing fer sensible folks to do," faltered the wom an, "an' that's to make the best of it an' go en tryin' to do our own duty." "Yea," he nodded, vacantly, "you are right mother. Are you going home tonlghtr "No. I 'lowed it ud look more re spectful to stay till they tuck 'lm off in the mornln'. The. sheriff's .wife axed me to spend the night with her in the Jail house, so I,cquld be mgh 'im." George Buckley shuddered visibly, but be said nothing. It gave Mrs. Buckley the opportunity she was look ing for.

WAS a famous victory," and no mistake, but not unprec edented and not so remark able as at first blush it would appear. It is by no means the greatest in American annals quite the contrary. Stated electorally, Colonel Roosevelt has 345 rotes, Judge Packer 141. It's bad enough as it is, but it might have been worse. In his second election Jefferson re ceived 162 electoral votes; Pinckney, 14. ' , Roosevelt beat Parker not quite two to one in the electoral college, while Jefferson defeated Pinckney by more than eleven to one. In 1820 the vote stood: Monroe, 231; John Quincy Adams, 1. But as there was no contest it is hardly fair to count that case. Jackson defeated Clay by 210 to 49, more than five to one. In 1836 the vote stood: Van Buren, 170; Harrison, 73; White, 28; Webster, 14. In 1840 "old Tippecanoe" turned -the tables on "the sage of Kinderhook," the vote standing 234 to 60, almost four to one. In 1852 Pierce carried every state ex cept four, defeating General Scott by the overwhelming vote of 264 to 42, more than six to one. In 1868 the vote stood: Grant 214; Seymour, 80; in 1872, Grant 268; Gree ley, 42. A careful analysis of the popular vote shows up in about the same pro portions. Colonel Roosevelt's vote is about 500, 000 in excess of the McKinley vote of 1900, while Judge Parker's is about 1,500,000 less than Bryan's in that year. So one can see at a glance that it was the stay at home vote that wrought the disaster. Prognosticators will do well not to count on the stay at homes to repeat that caper. With candidates and platforms to suit they will be the first at the polls in the next contest The small vote for Watson does not indicate much virility in the old Popu list party, but the astonishing increase In the Debs vote shows that the Social istic Democracy is a factor in future elections which must b reckoned with. While the loss In representatives Is deplorable, two '"years will soon roll around. The most substantial loss to the Democrats is in the senate, because of the six year term. Cockrell of Mis souri and Gibson of Montana will be replaced by Republicans. In Nevada a Republican will be elected to succeed JStewsrt, Republipasv- The Democrats 'nfl9ey-xpeeted to win that seat.' The same Is true in New York, West Virginia and Delaware. But taken all In all. Democrats have cause -to be hopeful for the future. The party has pulled Itself out of worse holes than that In which it now finds Itself. Senatorial Candidate Galore. After March 4, there will be a new. thing under the sun at least new to this generation a Republican United States senator from Missouri. " 'Tls true, and pity 'tis .'tis true." As soon as the Republicans of Missouri recovered from the shock, for that's precisely what it was, of their victory in the state they began to rub their eyes and to talk about a Republican successor to General Francis. Marion CockreU. Can didates sprang up like mushrooms in a dark cellar or like Roderick Dhu's men from the heather, and "the cry is still, They comer " Hon. Thomas K. Niedrlnghaus, who .claims to have done it all, was the first to shy his caster Into the ring, accompanied by his per-i sonal check for twenty-one thousand and some odd dollars to pay the bak ance due by the state committee. Close on his heels came Colonel R. C. Kerens, who for many years was national com mitteeman, always a liberal contrib utor and-who in tne' recent campaign gave the state committee $5,000 besides divers sums not accounted for expend ed in electing members of the legisla ture in close countiest It is whispered that Hon. Daniel M. Hauser, business manager and part owner of the Globe Democrat would not object to. wearing, a senatorial toga. These three are mul timillionaires a? any rate they are re puted to be and are named first be cause their chances are considered good, largely by reason of their wealth. In addition to them are some men who are poor in this world's goods, but whose talents or public services entitle them to consideration. Among these are Colonel David Patterson Dyer, who preceded me in congress from the Ninth district of Missouri by nearly a quar ter of a century, who is now United States attorney for the eastern district of Missouri and who is . probably the most popular Republican .perstraaily in the state; Major William Warner, one of Mr. Cowherd's recent predecessors in congress fromthe Karkas City dis trict now United States district attor ney for the western district of Mis souri and a man of Intellectual and or atorical force, and last but by no means least Hon. Richard Bartholdt who for twelve years has represented a St Louis district In congress, who has been elected for a seventh term and who in the next congress will be dean of the Republican nine from Missouri. Of course I am neither the legal, spir itual nor political adviser of the Re publican majority- in the Missouri leg- islature, but as a Mlssourian proud of that magnificent commonwealth I am anxious to see a senator who will in- HYGEIA Ths Beet 5-cent cigar on earth for sale at Aycocke Drug Co's.

Geyer, Truster! Polk, John B. Henderson, Carl Schurs tnd Francis Marion Cockrell, whose Joint service covers a period of eighty four years the entire life, of the fifth state in population and .the" fourth in wealth. Their careers are part of the priceless treasures of the republic Dr, Bartholdt has not announced In the ordinary acceptation of that word. He has let it be knowd that, like Bar kis, he is "willin'." And why shouldn't be be? It is a great honor. His dozen years of bard, intelligent patriotic service In the house have surely trained him In the duties of national legis lator. He is a capable man, a growing man, an ambitious man, in the flower of his years and the prime of his pow ers. He likes the public service, and he is well fitted for it. His selection would be a promotion natural and on right lines. It would be a recognition of duties acceptably discharged. He would not have to spend a weary no vitiate learning how to do things. He has already learned how. He is a prac tical rather than a spectacular legls latotv and his record for successful work in the house would upon his en trance into the senate secure for him appointment upon important commit tees, a matter of great consequence to his state and to the country, for in this connection it must not be forgotten that General Cockrell is the leading Democrat on appropriations and mil itary affairs. And, while Missourians do not expect the new senator to secure as good committee assignments as Cockrell has, they will take pride In seeing him secure desirable assign ments. Personally Dr. Bartholdt is a pleasant amiable and companionable man. He has traveled much, has con siderable experience in journalism, is persona grata at the White House and knows the departments like a book. Really and easily the Missouri legis lature could go farther and fare worse than to elect Dr. Bartholdt to -succeed Missouri's grand old man in the house of the conscript fathers. Colon ie For Sale.

When my father remon strated with him and told him that he ought- fee learn something from the -experience of others in' certain unprofit able capers the youth replied, "Oh, I want to experience them myself." So with our jingoes. History has no les sons for them. It is a notorious fact that both England and France keep I up their colonial establishments at a dead loss. All the evidence Bhows that Spain's colonies were as millstones about her neck and that she has expe rienced an unwonted prosperity since we kindly relieved her of her burden. But It has always been contended that Holland's colonies were fn the nature of gold mines to her. This illusion has now disappeared. She is discussing the feasibility of selling them provided she can find a purchaser. The chief reason advanced by the proponents of that measure is their unprofitableness. Will our Jingoes believe that? Not a bit of it They will no doubt vocifer ate volubly that we can make a profit where the induetrious and economical Hollanders find only loss, The.chanoes are ten to one that they will be in fa vor of our buying the colonies which the tiny realm of Queen Wilhelmina desires to be rid of. -We haven't load enough in Hawaii, Guam, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Some palpitating patriot not long since was eager for us to purchase the Galapagos Islands, and into every congress Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts intro duces a proposition to buy the Danish West India islands. Query: If the English, the French, the Spaniards and the Hollanders cannot -make colonies pay, how can we hope to do so? - It Is said that if Holland throws her colonies on the market the chances are that there will be no bidders except Germany and Japan unless we enter the lists. The kaiser la ambitious to make Germany as great a sea power as she is now a land power, and polic ing the faraway colonies of Holland would give employment to his growing navy. Japan, according to all ac counts, needs room for her surplus pop ulation and would not feel seriously the constant loss of soldiers in the wars now raging and which have been raging for a century in the colonies of Holland. The expense incident to those wars is one of the reasons urged by Holland statesmen for the sale of her colonial load. No man, however, can give any sen sible reason why we should take to our breasts any more islands. We donot need room for surplus population, be-' cause we have no surplus population. 80 far from having a surplus we are still inviting all creation to come and settle in the land of the free and the home of the brave, and they are' com? ing at the rate of almost a million "per annum. Nevertheless the ilnsroes vwlll be in favor of buying Holland's7 castoff colonies. Cui bono?
