that such an attractive man should
be so unpractical and the object ot so
many bitter and powerful enmities. If
tbe truth must be told. New Chelsea
was more than a little disappointed
In John Onnmeade.
His health was not always good.
He had suffered a serious illness dur
ing one winter and, between the duties
of office, tbe cares of a growing pri
vate practice and the Incessant labors
of politics, bis body bad been sadly
overtaxed. He was still district at
torney, last trophy of tbe reform wave
that had swept over tbe shattered
machine. Pnder the leadership of
Greene, an ex-gutnbter and former lien
tenant of Sheehnn. less obviously tbe
brute and far shrewder than the de
posed boss, tbe f'ltimvflle organisation
bad risen from its nsbes. He bad re
captured all the county offices, except
when John, a candidate for re-election,
had won through personal popularity
and by a scant margin.
Politics Is a hard taskmaster. John
found poor compensation In the fact
that he had become well known
throughout the state. The year after
the Benton county reform he had loin
ed himself to the cause of Judge »rnv.
an honest and capable lawyer who
dared to ask the old party nomina
tion for governor against tbe organisa
tion's choice. Wltb the Judge John
Jiade a vigorous stumping campaign
In every county of the state. He was
lew. he was enthusiastic.-Jie waa dar

nated easily according to the "slate."
Judge Dunmeade was nor nominated
to the supreme court that year hence
the breach of a lifelong friendship, in
creased bitterness against his son and
many I-told-you-sos from Miss Roberta.
But John preached on. He did more
than attack. He devised and proffered
remedies with a naive disregard of tne
conservative habit of the American
mind that incited mirth in some, ap
prehension in others and bewilderment

In those days—to be exact, three

Sherrod himself substituted. Amid
confusion that amounted almost to
riot he was nominated.
I A nonpartisan candidate was put up
that fall. John and Jerry Brent were
most active In his support They made
what was said to be a remarkable
campaign, nnd In every county they
were met with tremendous enthusi
asm. People flocked by thousands to
hear them nnd cheered themselves
hoarse as the young orators excoriated
the bosses. But on election day the
people marched to tbe polls, voted as
they had aiwnrs done and elected the
old party ticket by a majority of
more than 100.000.
Tbe campaign fixed John's place
firmly in the public mind. This place.
one that a practical man would have
thought twice before seeking, was won
•t the cost of much of his buoyant
optimism. It "almost cost biro bis life
also. A heavy cold contracted during
the last davs of the campaign eventu

pneumonia. There were many n-nxlous

Through three consecutive nights
Hugh Dunmeade never sought bis

son's lKMlslde. listening to the painful
breathing and. without protest, to the
reproaches of an Inner voice. When
the Christmas halldnvs arrived John
was still confined to his room.
That winter Senator Murchell varied
Ms program by spending the congres
sional recess nt his legal residence*
And one Sunday morning he came
face to face with the Jndge and Miss
Roberta In the vestibule of the- Presby
terian church. It was the first meet
lug In more than two years.
"Tbe doctor tells me John ought to

looked carefully trat Into the street

How many people know what refeu

popular method of executing criminals
and was tbe mode of capital punish
ment used in Bohemia to tbe middle
ages and later. Defenestration means
"throwing from a window." but that
did not always include all tbe arrange
ments made for tbe doomed man's,
exit from tbe world.
In Prague in 1419 the council cham
ber of tbe hradscbin, or town ball, was
used as tbe place of execution. There.

Heedless Use of Opiates.
It Is perhaps a conservative estimate
that only 10 |er cent of tbe entire drug
consumption to
country is applied
to tbe purpose of blunting incurable (,tg
pain. Thus no per cent of the opiates
used are, strictly speaking, unneces
sary. In tbe Innumerable cases that
have come under my observation 75 per
cent of tbe habitual users became such
without reasonable excuse. Beginning
wltb small occasional doses, they real
