The Rising Son

Rising Son 11 Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for It Reaches More Homes of Colored Peop.e than any other Paper in the State. M. Vonyson THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Republican Nominee for President. THE GENUS HOBO. A comparison of authorities by the University of Missouri shows that the people of the United States pass out annually through their back doors nearly $10,000,000 worth of old clothes and cold victuals to the 46,000 tramps of the country. eY fifty-nine per cent of these Weary Willies have a trade or profession and could make a decent living if this irresistible antipathy for work had not seized them. Surprising as it may seem, ninety per cent of the American hoboes are married men. "Driven from home by their wives," is the comment of one of the Missouri species. We Americans usually pat ourselves on the back when talking of this part of our population and speak wisely about the restriction of foreign immigration, but statistics show that over fifty per cent of our tramp population is of American parentage. What makes all our tramps? Statisticians tell us that sixty-three percent of them are made so by intoxicating liquors. "Women," says the tramp, "have done more to keep me down than any other evil. Fast and designing women I have reference to." How are we to be rid of our tramp population? The tramp, himself, would solve the problem this way: "Create a demand for mechanics and labor in this country and the problem will solve itself and then men found begging and out of work the authorities can find a job and the great tramp and hobo nuisance of the United States will be settled." Dr. Chas. A. Ellwood of the sociology department of the University of Missouri would put these thirsty fugitives from work and soap on "reformatory industrial farms where they must abstain from drink, must work and must keep clean for an indefinite time." He thinks they might in this way be made to nearly or quite support themselves and thus cease to be a burden upon those who toll. Insane Captain Chops Boat. Charles Osen, a canal boat captain, tried to chop a hole in the bottom of his boat at New York, in the belief that a submarine torpedo boat was underneath it. A crowd gathered, and after much excitement the man was taken, violently insane, to Bellevue hospital. VOLUME IX. To Our Correspondents. Please send in your matter by Wednesday of each week. SAYS THE OWL. Divorce pulls the feathers from the wings of love. Although macaroni is hollow it is said to be a solid food. Some men waste a dollar's worth of time trying to save 5 cents. Some men seem to believe that money was only made to make. Fortuate is the man who can give a good bank account of himself. The question of precedence in this country is merely a question of hustle. If a woman hesitates it must be owing to an impediment in her speech. Women love men for what they are, and men love women for what they think they are. A politician thinks he is entitled to as many kinds of opinions as he may need in his business. Even an amateur organist can play a wedding march that is entirely sat- satisfactory to the girl in the case. Remorse is like a wooden leg; it helps a man on his way, but he can see where he'd be happier without it. The woman may accomplish all this and still be woefully lacking in true womanhood. The one essential thing has been left out—the desire to make the best of herself and to shed as much sunshine as she can in a world where there are many dark corners and many faint hearts. Mrs. Elias has money, teisure and ease, but all of these will not bring a contented mind. NEGROES AT THE WORLD'S FAIR For the convenience of colored visitors an "Information Bureau" has been established With it are associated many of the best homes and hotels in St Louis. Have your room reserved. Stamp for reply. H. S. FERGUSON, Mgr. 1923 Market St., St Louis, Mo. Opposite Union Station. Tears often say what the tongue cannot. A fool is more foolish to day than he was yesterday. If a man's mother-in-law acts up it is usually his own fault. Most of man's good resolutions are made the following morning. No girl is willing to believe that marriage is a failure from hearsay. Bucket shops are places where men exchange their barrels for bungholes. After the matrimonial knot is tied there is always a fighting chance for happiness. We can't pronounce the Russian definition for war, but it's synonymous with Sherman's definition. About six months after the ceremony a bride begins to wonder if her husband is really the man she married. Our idea of a mean man is one who spends two-thirds of his time in getting money and the other third in keeping it. The young man who admires a girl because she is well dressed kicks like a mule after marrying her when he is called upon to pay the freight. A SPINSTER SAYS THAT— A man and a strange umbrella very often go without saying. The bachelor leads a single life, but the married man is often led. I haven't much confidence in a man whose dog refuses to follow him. All men are equal the day they are born and the day they are buried. When a man starts out to paint the village he never uses water colors. Anyway, no woman can lace herself as tight as a man can drink himself. Some men grumble because they can't find anything to grumble about. The self-admiration of some men proves that there is no accounting for tastes. The man who is unable to work and smoke at the same time invariably smokes. Some men are of no more consequence than a thermometer on a pleasant day. An egotist is a man who thinks the world thinks as much of him as he thinks of himself. What some men know would fill a book—and what they don't know would fill a library. Only a small portion of the world really loves a lover. The rest of it considers him a chump. If the average man could live his life over again, it's doughnuts to fudge he would make a bigger fool of himself than ever. IN REGARD TO LIFE. Virtue is so praiseworthy that wicked people practice it from self-interest. Common sense is the ability to detect values—to know a big thing from a little one. I'd rather possess common sense than to have six degrees from Trinity college, Oxford. Life is like a roll of costly material passing swiftly through our hands, and we must embroider our pattern on it as it goes. We cannot wait to pick up a false stitch or pause long before we set another. MISSOURIANS DO NOT KNOW HE WAS PART AFRICAN. The Negro school at Macon is named the Dumas school after Alexander Dumas. The large reading Dumas' novels receive in Missouri and the South indicates that it is not generally known hereabouts that the great French novelist was part African, but it seems to be known at Macon.—Kansas City Journal. From the foregoing article one can but be led to suppose that did the general public of Missouri know that Dumas had Negro blood in his veins, it would not read his works, no matter how worthy they may be. It is but an admission that blind prejudice sways the breasts of many who would be thought intelligent. Spurn a book because a Negro wrote it! Negroes know of a great many more great deeds noble deeds, or worthy actions on the part of their own, and they are gradually learning to bestow credit where credit belongs, leaving to the Associated Press the monopoly of all the news that reflects disgrace and shame on all who happen to be descendants of Ham. SAYS THE MISOGYNIST. As yet the trusts haven't dabbled in marriages. The wicked flee when a feminine reformer approaches. There's luck in odd numbers. Three of a kind beat two pair of twins. Few women will waste an engaging smile on the man with a divorced look. Even Aladdin, with his wonderful lamp, couldn't produce concord in some households. It must indeed be a somber occasion that would induce some men to stand with bare heads. A simple little dimple in a woman's cheek can produce an attack of vertigo in a big, husky man. You can tell the time of day by the sun, and you can tell the time of night, also by the son. There is a time and a place for everything. That's why we spend most of our time looking for the place. The bachelor, of course, has given marriage some thought, but, as a rule, he hasn't got any knobs on his head from deep thinking. The beauty about the life of a bachelor is that he seldom requires a charge d'affaires, an ambassador or a minister plenipotentiary to represent him in diplomatic circles.—New York Telegraph. PARAGRAPHS Advice to those about to speak: "Don't." Neither do harsh words butter the parsnips. A woman doesn't doubt a man when she knows he's lying. How supremely happy a man seems the week before his marriage. Character is weighed for the most part in the scales of Temptation. Women never want to forget their first love, but they have no difficulties in forgetting their last. Politeness Never Wrong. Politeness is never wrong. Its practice goes nearly all the way towards the goal of the right thing in the right place. We hear of polite insolence, but insolence is never polite; and it is never, under any circumstances, polite to be insolent. NUMBERS IN EARLY DAYS Forerunners of Existing System Resorted to Queer Expedients. In a paper read before the Philological society of the University of Michigan, George Hempl commented upon the forerunners of our present system of numeration. Some two years ago, in seeking the origin of the Runic letters (the first letters used by the Germanic races), Professor Hempl discovered the primitive Germanic numeral notations. They threw new light upon the early Germanic numeral system, as well as upon the primitive Indo-European numerical system and upon the development of the Greek alphabet and the Greek numerical notation. The primitive Indo-European numerical system was a mixture of the declimal and the sexagesimal. The first large number was the "shock"—that is, sixty—and the next large number was the "hund," or hundred," that is 120. Between 60 and 120 there were no numbers like our 70, etc., 70 being "a shock and ten," and 80 being "g shock and 20." The introduction of our present numbers between 60 and 120 arose out of the introduction of the decimal hund or hundred, that is, 100, in distinction from which the old hundred (120) was called the duodecimal hundred, or the "great hundred," which is still used in Iceland and parts of England. What Causes Fires The annual losses by fire in the United States which have averaged as high as $100,000,000 a year at certain periods, were attributed during a single year to the following causes, the number of fires from each cause being given: Incendiarism, 1,927; defective flues, 1,309; sparks (not from locomotives), 715; matches, 636; explosions (of lamps, etc.), 430; stoves, 429; lightning, 369; spontaneous combustion, 326; prairie and forest fires, 280; lamp and lantern accidents (other than explosions), 238; locomotive sparks, 211; cigar stubs and pipes, 203; friction, 173; gas jets, 176; engines and boilers, 150; furnaces, 135; and from firecrackers, 105. Myrrh Simply a Gum Resin: Myrrh is a gum resin that exudes from the cracks of a tree found in Arabian and East African countries. It flows rather freely, but the natives, in order to get a larger supply of the article, often bruise the trunk of the trees with rocks. The myrrh tree itself is a low tree, growing about ten or twelve feet high, with thorny branches. When the myrrh first exudes from the tree it is of a yellowish, whitish, buttery consistency that gradually hardens and assumes a reddish semitransparent color. It is used principally as one of the components of incense. Youthful Statesman. Edmund Waller had already made a reputation as a poet when, at the age of 16, he entered parliament and began to take an active part in public debates. His first speech was a great success. When the stripling of 16 first arose to address the house the members were inclined to laugh at him, but he was not to be laughed down, and soon had his hearers listening to him with rapt attention. When he ended he was greeted with ringing applause and at once became a political power. Well Worth the Money A man in Randolph county, Missouri, was tried recently for assault with intent to kill and the prosecuting attorney brought into court as weapons a rail, an ax, a gun, a saw and a rifle. The defendant's counsel exhibited a scythe, a pitchfork, a pistol, a razor and a hoe. After deliberating two hours on the case the jury submitted a report which read as follows: "We the jury find that the fight took place, and we the jury would have paid a dollar each to have seen it." Memoriam to Architect. A library will be erected in connection with the British school at Athens to perpetuate the memory of F. C. Penrose, an authority on Greek architecture. NUMBER 12 THE OLD FOLKS' AND OHPHANS' HOME. Miss Mattie Shepherd the matron, is in Leavenworth on business. Mrs. Joanna Moore has had charge of the Home for more than a week. Mr. W. Hanna Davis, of the Vine Street church spent half a day at the Home last week in house cleaning. Seeing that the oil had leaked he went out and returned with a new glass can full of oil, which he presented to Mrs. Moore, and then filled all the lamps. He also brought along a feather duster. The managers are grateful to Mr. Davis. Due credit will be given the committee who gave the "C Luncheon" on the 10th, and a full report of the work being done by the Club of ladies of the Vine Street church, who visit the Home once a week, will appear in next week's paper, as well as a report of the proceeds of Miss Overall's entertainment at the Vine Street church on the 22d. It is a hopeful sign to see the general public coming to the rescue of this institution, for the running expenses alone keep the few busy. There are 17 inmates in the Home. The Little Women's Auxiliary gave a social at the residence of Mrs. Roberts, on Virginia avenue. The report is not in yet. Tickets are out for a Japanese social. JUDGE WAS STRICKEN DUMB Man Before Him Accused of Marrying Hia Mother-in-law There was a curious case in the Dublin courts the other day, when a man was tried for the crime—of all crimes in the calendar—of marrying his mother-in-law. Surprising to relate, too, he was a Scotchman—John Lundy of Dundee. The ages old reputation for cinniness which his countrymen enjoyed this man has seriously jeopardized. The man was acquitted—as all sympathetic people will agree he should have been. He was acquitted by the jury on the ground that he did not know he was committing a crime. His counsel asked that a sailor's clasp knife, which had been taken from him on his arrest test he do himself grevely bodily harm under the pangs of separation from his mother-in-law, should be returned to him. The court ordered its return, and then his counsel humbly suggested that the man should get the Victoria cross! The court remained silent.—New York Sun. All for Love. Oh, talk not to me of a name great in story! The days of our youth are the days of our youth. And the myrtle and ivy of sweet two- and twenty. Are worth all your laurels, though ever so plenty. What are garlands and crowns to the brow that is wrinkled? 'Tis but as a dead flower with May-dow be sprinkled. The worm with all such from the head that is hoary. What care I for the wreaths that can only give glory? Oh, fame! if I 'eer took delight in thy praises. 'Twas less for the sake of thy high-standing praises. That to to bright eyes of the dear one discover. She thought that I was not unworthy to love her. There chiefly I sought thee; there only I found thee; Her glance was the best of the rays that surround them. When she overtaught that was bright in my story. I knew it was love, and I felt it was glory. —Lord Byron. Human Relationship. For the benefit of those who may feel "exclusive" or who prate about blue blood, etc., it will be well to remember that if we go back but twenty generations or 700 years, each one of us has 1,084,576 ancestors, and is related more or less closely to at least 270,000,000 of our fellows. QUIET HOUR Charity. "What strive you for?" one plodding pilgrim asked Of him who traveled onward by his side "For the weight, where all God's glory lies; For heaven I strive," the other one replied. "What strive you foot?" the pilgrim asked again "Of who sat beside the way, alone; "I strive for wealth and honor," he replied; "Ah! that I might for wasted years atone." And then he said, who had these questions asked: "Obey early hearts, upon which shadows fall So dense and deep! If you had only "In My Father's house are many man- clions." John xiv. 2. What a difference there is between a house in which a family resides and a house that it empty! And yet it is the same house, or, rather, it is not the same house at all. Suppose you visit it on some festive occasion. The rooms are brilliantly lighted, there is the hum of many voices or the rich melody of merry laughter, and the very air pulsates with buoyant life. Everything as well as everybody seems to be thoroughly alive, and even pictures and furniture tremble and throb with their general joyousness. But cross the threshold after the house has been deserted for a few weeks. You are met by an ominous sort of gloom. The rooms are as they were, the pictures and furniture are all there, but something more than the family has apparently departed. The spirit of the house, so to speak, has gone, and the gathering dust and the hollow echo of your voice remind you that a remarkable change has taken place and that an inexpressible element is wanting. In like manner, what a difference between a body with a soul in whole-hearted possession of all its functions, and a body from which the tenant has removed! It is the same body, and yet it is not the same at all. What has occurred? Only this: that your comrade has moved out of his old home and gone elsewhere to live. You did not see him go and you cannot say exactly where his new residence is, and for that reason you are mystified and perhaps greatly troubled. What we do not understand is apt to disturb us. But the only difference between the first illustration, the empty house, and the second, the empty body, is that the family moved they left word as to their destination, and the sufferer who moved did not. The soul is too important to die, and the body is too unimportant to exist for more than a few decades. It is a very curious fact that every man is in love with his own soul or personality. He prizes that something which he calls his real self above all other possessions. He would not exchange himself, even though conscious of many a weakness, for any other human being on the earth. He may find fault with fate and deem himself harshly used; still, he would rather be himself with poverty than any other with wealth. Not so with the body. That is quite another matter. No one thinks of his body as himself—only as a minor part of himself. He would be glad to have another body, just as we would be glad to move out of a wretched hovel into a well-built mansion. We, by no means, have the same pride in body that we have in personality. We might be happy to get rid of one, but nothing could tempt us to part with the other. And what reason do you suppose God could have for destroying a soul? Nothing else in the universe is destroyed, and why should the greatest of His creations suffer a fate not meted out to the meanest? The body exhausts its possibilities and then falls back to dust. Its climax and duration would add nothing to the perfection of its functions. But does a man's intelligence, does his spirit, exhaust all possibilities? The mental and spiritual appetites are merely whetted by our cathery experience; we simply acquire a keen relish, and then the house falls into ruin and we must leave it. Another body, another life, another environment. That is what the soul has prophesied for itself as a consequence of God's goodness and wisdom. And then comes ringing through the ages the Voice that checks our tears at separation and transmutes them into the hope of reunion, saying, "I go to prepare a place for you." I know not where heaven is and scarcely care to inquire; but it is somewhere, and the thought is to the heart of man what the falling rain is to the parched fields.—Rev. George H. Heworth. Our Jericho. There are times when I get work to do the good of which I cannot see. Sometimes, before the walls of Jericho, there is put into my hands a trumpet when I think it should be a sword. Sometimes I am sent a long circuitous march when I expect to be retained for the assault. These moments are very hard to me. It is not the work that is hard; it is the want of vision. It is easy enough to blow a trumpet; it is a light thing to walk round the city. The hard thing is to see the good of it. Help me at such moments, O Lord, to say, "One step enough for me!" Let me not ask how the sound of the trumpet can aid in the fall of Jericho. Let me not ask why I am to go round about when there is a short and easy way. Let me be led blindfolded by thee. When I see not the Promised Land, let me feel the Promised Hand. When I view not thy glory, let me have thy guidance. When I have lost sight of thy com- mand, let me strain the ear for thy com- mand. I shall not weep if only I can say: "One step enough for me."—Rev. George Matheson, D. D. When We Return to God. You have seen the heavens gray with dull and leaden colored clouds, you have seen the earth chilly and comfortless under its drifts of unmelting snow, but let the sun shine and then how rapidly does the sky resume its radiant blue and the fields laugh with green grass and vernal flower! So will it be with even a withered and a wasted life when we return to God and suffer Him to send His bright beams of light upon our heart. I do not mean that the pain or misery under which we are suffering will necessarily be removed—even for Christ it was not so—but peace will come, and strength will come, and resignation will come, and hope will come, and we shall feel able to hear anything which God shall send and, though He slay us, we still shall seek Him, and even if the blackest cloud of anguish seems to shroud His face from us even on that cloud shall the rainbow shine.—F. W. Farrar. The wheels of life need the oil of grace. Contrary Winds. Sailors show their best skill, and the real ability of their ships, by using the winds that blow against them. And lives can learn to go forward by the forces which would pull them backward, or upward by the forces which would draw them down. Demosthenes' oratory was the better because he had to overcome the difficulty of a faltering speech. The surpassing marvel of Beethoven's music was in part due to the fact that he had to overcome what would have been to many the insurmountable difficulty of his deafness. When the way is easy there is more danger of loitering than when it is hard. It is the providence and wisdom of God that sends many obstacles. We may look most confidently for our guardian angel in the things which seem adverse. Many wise men have proved their strength, like Samson of old, by carrying off the gates that were locked against them. --- What God demands is as nothing to what He deserves. Need of God. Have we not ourselves felt the need of religion? When he have stood in the sick room; when we have laid our loved ones in the dust; when the angel of death has come so near to us we could "almost hear the beating of his wings"; then, when the inevitable questions were crowding thick and fast upon heart and brain, have we not felt our need of that light on life and the grave and the beyond which Christ alone can cast? Or when we look round the little world in which our daily life is spent, do we never feel our need of God? We may be making little enough of life ourselves, declares the Rev. George Jackson, but we need none to tell us that those who are making the most of it, the best men and women we know, are those who are honestly seeking to order their lives according to the will of God. Duty is always divine. Don't Drift The disposition to let our lives flow on just as common events turn them is one which needs to be guarded. The natural drift of human life is not upward. No soul ever drifted to heaven. The drift is always the other way. A leaf in a river may drift to a gulf, out nothing in the gulf ever drifts upward to the river's head. It is dangerous for a ship to drift before the wind; it may strike ugly rocks or dangerous shores. Hoist the sails! Catch the breezes and put out to sea. No Christian can afford to drift. None have vantage ground to lose. Step upward toward God, and then step upward again. Let nothing hinder you. We are told that Enoch walked with God. "Those who walk with God don't drift. It is the listless, idle, careless, lazy soul that drifts toward the pit. Vigorous, pure, go-ahead, resolute hearts rise toward God every minute of life. The best recreation is to do good. All Eternity Too Short. Once Mr. Moody, after preaching on the subject, "Christ as a Deliveryer" said to a Scotchman as he walked away, "I did not finish the subject." "Ah, man!" answered the Scotchman, "ye didn't expect to finish, did ye? It will take all eternity to finish telling what Christ has done for man." Reaching Heaven. It was said of an old Puritan that heaven was in him before he was in heaven. That is necessary for all of us; we must have heaven in us before we get into heaven. If we do not get to heaven before we die, we shall never get there afterwards. Sacrifice is the price that love pays for the privilege of service. THE IRON HEEL. FREE TRADE AMERICAN FARM AMERICAN INDUSTRIES EUROPE UNITED STATES --- THE ISSUES FOK 1904 ROOSEVELT'S NOMINATION CER- TAIN TO BE UNANIMOUS. Republicans Will Stand Pat, While Democrats Will Strike for Tariff Revision Without Regard to the Needs of American Labor and Industry. The delegates are chosen for the Republican national convention. More than two-thirds of these delegates are instructed for the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt, and it is known that a majority of the remaining third are outspokenly in favor of his nomination. It appears to be settled that the nomination will be unanimous and that no other name will be presented before the convention. The sentiment regarding the nomination for Vice-President is divided between Representative R. R. Hitt of Illinois and Senator Fairbanks of Indiana, with the indications that one or the other of these gentlemen will be selected. The Democrats are not making much headway in their efforts to "get together" for a campaign in which they believe that, with a united front, they would have some chance of success. All indications point to the nomination of Judge Parker of New York, but there is a determined minority opposing him, and under the Democratic convention requirement of a two-thirds majority to effect a nomination, it is by no means yet certain that the opposition may not be able to defeat the New York candidate. There is bitter opposition to Judge Parker, and it is expected that the Bryan element, which will be represented in large numbers on the floor of the convention, and will be led by the Nebraskan in a powerful speech THE IRON FREE TRAD AMERICAN FARM AMERICAN INDUSTRIES to the convention, will do everything possible to prevent the nomination going to Judge Parker. There will be enough uninstructed delegates in the convention to make this result possible, provided they can be united to that end. With the near approach of the conventions and the question of the nominations becoming more or less settled, attention is now directed to the subject of the platform declarations for this year's great campaign. As usual, there is plenty of evidence of attempts at temporizing by those who have no settled convictions on the great issues of the day, and who are ready always to sacrifice principles in the hope of catering to the uneasy element that is always very noisy in the beginning of a campaign. Evidences of this are found in both parties. Sturdy advocates of the doctrine of protection are confronted by an element in the party that is ready to make concessions to "revisionists" and to "reciprocity" advocates. The Democrats are troubled by the noisy clamors of the old-time silver shouters, who cannot be convinced that the money question is settled and that free silver is as dead as Bryanism. A determined effort is being made by the really courageous leaders of the Democratic party to line up the party in favor of an assault all along the line upon the principles of protection. They desire to make the emphatic demand that protection shall go and that tariff shall be revised by the Democratic party without reference to protection to the industries of the United States. Cleveland's Bond Sale Ex-President Cleveland's attempt to explain his bond issues in the Saturday Evening Post neither throws any new knowledge on the transactions nor puts them in any better light before intelligent people. Mr. Cleveland says that the repeal of the act of 1890 did not give any relief, and yet we are told by free traders that the cause of the panic of 1893 was the Sherman Silver-Purchase law of 1890. Protectionists have always known that the repeal of that law by no means met the situation, nor could prevent the distress that came upon our people immediately after the election of Mr. Cleveland, and with him a Democratic Senate and House in 1892. The ex-President says most truly, however, that "a factor in the situation, most perplexing and dangerous, was the distrust, which was becoming enormous, regarding the wisdom and stability of our scheme of finance," and he might have added, in anticipation of the coming change in our tariff policy. Free traders cannot explain away our calamities of 1893 and the following years by ignoring the fact that the people, as soon as the election of 1892 was over, began to anticipate the free trade measure which was bound to come. It was well known that the house would pass as drastic a measure as had ever been enacted, and there is a possibility that if it had been known to what extent the bill would be changed in the Senate the panicle would not have been quite so severe. Uncertainty and suspense are always productive of greater fear than the actual result, however severe that result may be. The manufacturers and merchants of this country simply had to prepare for the worst, with the result that it was necessary to curtail production, which in turn created idleness and a lack of purchasing power, which is so essential to the welfare of every agricultural and manufacturing community in the land. Mr. Cleveland only begs the question when he throws the claim for the panic of 1893 and the disasters which followed upon our monetary system and the laws of our previous administrations. The historian does not care so much for the way in which the $262,000,000 worth of bonds were sold as the reasons for the necessity of their being sold, and these reasons are to-day pretty well understood by all and acknowledged by the candid and fair-minded business men of the country. When a man of ex-President Cleveland's experience and knowledge undertakes to explain the necessity for selling the $262,000,000 worth of bonds which were sold during his administration, without alluding to the tariff question he shows himself to be either dishonest or exceedingly disingenuous. Word About Our Railroads Mr. Neville Priestly of the British Indian, Railway department, in his recent report wherein he discusses our American railroads, says the average daily pay of the unskilled workman N HEEL. EUROPE UNITED STATES here in the United States is nearly equal to the average monthly pay of the Indian laborer, while our freight rates are much lower here than in any country in the world, India not excepted. And on top of all this our free traders tell us that our American railroads have to pay $28 a ton for steel rails, while the steel trust sells to India for $16. It would look as if the railroad magnates were between two—yes, three—fires: high prices for rails, highest wages on earth and lowest freight rates. And yet the year 1903 was the best in the history of American railroading, and less roads of less number of miles and with less amount of stocks and bonds were sold under foreclosure than any previous year. How can this result be obtained? Simply because of the magnitude of our internal commerce, made possible by the great purchasing power, of our well employed, highly paid wage earners, added to the well rewarded labors of our agriculture. Destroy our home market and railroads would have to very materially reduce wages, raise freight and passenger rates, or go out of business. An Amazing Way. Imports of "raw materials" continue to increase, although the enemies of the Dingley law said that with such a tariff we could not get them. And the best of it is that these materials are worked up into finished products, mainly to be exported in that form. See the figures for annual exports of manufactures, now close to the $500,000,000 mark, which is not far from the total of imported raw materials. That Dingley tariff has an amazing way of confounding all the predictions and upsetting the calculations of the free traders.—Ohio Valley Manufacturer. A Flop. Some of the free traders are now claiming that the tariff cuts down the profits of manufacture. This is an interesting flop. Heretofore protection has been denounced as a "partnership" between the government and the manufacturers whereby the latter profits were swelled. The free traders should find out where they are at.—Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Parker a Free Trader. Some of the Parker boomers have discovered that the Judge wrote part of the New York State Democratic platform in 1885. That platform indorsed the Cleveland administration, then in office over a year, and its tariff reform policy. This discovery is not likely to help the Judge or Mrs boom among those who recall what happened when the Democratic plan of tariff reform was put into effect.—Troy Times. HINTS The LATEST FASHION Pretty Pongee Coloring. The shantung and pongee silks have appeared in champagne, ciel blue, reseda, green, pale pink and other delicate or unusual shades, and are being made up into effective shirtwaist costumes. One of the delicate grayish blue pongees rejoices in the name of Parsifal. A bright blue is called Madonna and a rather bright yellow is termed Yeddo. The rough, unevenly woven pongee is the genuine eastern product, and is the most fashionable, as it is also the most lasting. These silks come as wide as thirty-eight inches, and, while more expensive than the other varieties, are really cheaper, as they wear forever and clean and wash beautifully. There are any number of pongees, and of course the dark colors—cardinal, navy blue—are shown and used in quantities. Return to Olden Styles. Early summer styles indicate a return to the charming old fantasies of our great grandmothers, brought to up-to-date requirements by the modern loom. These are flowered organdles, oldtime grenadines in plaids or besprinkled with sprigs of flowers, veilings of every variety, mounting in the scale from simple volles to crepe volles and voile chiffons. Colors can only be described as indescribable. Every possible gradation of shade and light is extracted from a primary color. In fact, the new school is a wonderful school in color training. One no longer hears of brilliant orange as a touch of color. It is the fashion to deal in tawny yellow, dregs of champagne, banana tints and almond leaf greens. To Clean White Velvet. It is almost impossible to clean white velvet in a perfectly satisfactory manner. However, it may be greatly freshened by an application of chloroform. First brush and beat the velvet free of all dust. Pin the velvet smoothly on an ironing board, or it may be stretchel in an embroidery hoop, and have plenty of clean white cloths at hand. Dip a cloth in chloroform, rub lightly over the spot until it disappears, then, with a clean cloth, rub over the entire surface of the velvet to remove all soil on the nap. Do the work very rapidly and finish by rubbing with another clean white cloth. Haste is absolutely essential because of the volatile nature of the cleaning fluid and also to avoid a stain. Walst With Pointed Yoke Collar Waist with Pointed Yoke Collar. Nothing could be prettier for afternoon wear than this dainty waist of sheer white muslin combined with a yoke collar made of lace, embroidered insertion, and frills of fine embroidery. Its deep, pointed yoke gives the necessary droop to the shoulders and the gathered portion below is softly full and blouses over the crushed belt most becomingly. The model is unlined and so become washable, but the many thin silk and wool fabrics of the season are equally well adapt- THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY ed to the style and can be made over the fitted foundation and with frills of lace in place of needlework, while the yoke can be lace or any fancy material preferred, and can be made quite transparent or lined with chiffon whenever such effect is desired. The waist consists of the lining, front, backs and yoke collar with full sleeves, and is closed invisibly at the center back. The soft belt is cut bias and is gathered to form tuck shirrings at the ends. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $3\frac{1}{4}$ yards 21 inches wide, 3 yards 27 inches wide, or $1\frac{1}{4}$ yards 44 inches wide, with 9 yards of insertion, $3\frac{1}{4}$ yards of wide embroidery and 2 yards of narrow to make as illustrated. Child's Pinafore Frock. Frocks made in pinafore style and worn over gulmpes with full sleeves are exceedingly charming and attractive and so eminently simple that they suit the small folk to perfection. This one is made of sheer nailsnook with trimming of embroidery, but all the white materials used for purposes of the sort and pretty colored ginghams, chambrays and the like are equally suitable and the latter are even preferable for the hours of play. To make the dress for a child of 4 ```markdown ``` Design by May Manton. years of age will be required 2% yards 27 or 2 yards 36 inches wide with 5% or 2 yards of embroidery. Sicillienne Promenade Costume Sicilienne Promenade Costume. All of the sheer and lightweight fabrics are highly favored of fashion, and none more so than the siciliennes, with their silky surface, and dust-repelling qualities. A safe-au-lait tint in sicilienne has much shirring and depends upon fancy gold braids for decoration. The blouse coat has a chasuble yoke defined with braids, the shoulder being extended down over the arm, and shirrings appear on each side of the chasuble to afford the fullness which is pleated into the deep featherboned girdle. The skirt is shirred around the hips, and a shirred flounce is applied beneath a band of fancy gold braid. The shirring is executed with the oscillating stitch of the sewing machine with all the effect of hand work. A velvetene binding of the same tint matching the sicilienne finishes the hem. Fruits Out of Season. The wife of a wealthy fruitgrower surprised her friends during the holidays by serving watermelons, muskmelons, plums and grapes as fresh as when they were gathered. Asked to tell the secret, she replied: "It is the simplest thing in the world; anyone can preserve fresh fruits in the same way. The melons I first dip in a wax preparation and coat the stems with sealing wax. After this I coat them with a thick coat of shellac and bury them in a box of sawdust to keep them from rubbing together and from freezing. The plums are coated in the wax only, but the plums and other fruits are coated with the wax and then with the shellac. All are carefully packed in sawdust." The Smartest of Shirtwaist Hats. A broad satin straw braid in champagne tint has tiny gold braids interwoven to form a plaid pattern in this exceedingly smart hat destined for shirtwaist and other informal wear. The crown is low and broad and the brim is bent into fascinating curves, eminently becoming, above the face. The large rosette of black velvet ribbon at the side is centered with a huge gold cabochon, decorated with cut steel work, and this catches the single white quill. A long strand of the velvet ribbon is threaded through the brim, to fall in loops and ends on the hair in the back. Case for White Collars. A dainty device for keeping the twentieth century girl's white stocks and starched collars immaculate when not encircling her fair throat is made of a round basket. Line with silk of delicate hue, with an interlining of wadding, sprinkled with satchet powder. A circular piece of pasteboard covered and wadded serves for a lid and also as a convenient resting place for the fancy pins worn at the tront and back of the stock collars. Women and Their Shoes. Women are paying more and more attention to the shoes worn with all costumes. Fashionable women are wearing bronze shoes with their golden-brown costumes, grey suede ties and pumps with their grey costumes, oyster-colored suede with a costume of that shade, and so through the endless gamut of fashionable colors. Light Colored Evening Wraps To be fashionable evening wraps must be light, not in weight, but in color. Almost every material, from lace to "marabout ropes," will serve for their making, but they must never be black or red or brown, and even dark gray is a little under the ban. THE WINNER TO THE WORLD You may laugh at my plans, you may say I'm too good to suspect to succeed; You may try to heap things in my way, You may answer me "No" when I ask You may plot to destroy me and meet My every advance with a frown.

VAN VINIER'S SCOOP BY DOROTHY DIX Copyright, 1901, by Dally Story Publishing Company Existence, as Philip Van Vyfer planned it, was to be a very pleasant affair. He had, youth and health, and wealth, and he pictured the future a gay kaleidoscopic mining of golf, and polo ponies, and grand opera, and little suppers after the play, and London seasons and Parisian boulevards, and it really seemed to him—when he stopped to moralize—that this was a pretty good old world after all, and that given these things and a good digestion a man might be happy if he tried. Then, too, to crown it all there was Madge. Madge, tall and light, and svelt, with the tawny gold in her hair, and the eyes that changed with every changing thought—that were as blue as summer skies when she smiled, and grew black as midnight when she thrilled to any deep emotion. Phillip could hardly remember a time when he had not loved her. They had grown up, boy and girl, together, with something singularly similar in their fate. Both were orphaned children, left to the untender care of unwilling relatives, and Phillip never forgot the moment of their meeting. His uncle's place adjoined that of Madge's guardian, and he had been wandering about the grounds, a forlorn and lonely childish figure, when he first came upon the little maid. She gave one long look at his somber face and mourning clothes, and then, with that swift and intuitive sympathy that God gives to even the youngest child, she went up to him. "Little boy," she lisped, for she was acarcely more than a baby, "little boy, is 'oo lonesome, and doesn't nobody love 'oo?" "No," he had answered with a sob from the depths of his hungry little heart. "Don't cey, little boy," she comforted, slipping her hand in his, "I'll love 'oo, and 'oo won't never be lonesome any more," and, indeed, it seemed to Philip he had never been lonesome again. There was always Madge. But who may count securely on the future? Move the kaleidoscope ever so gently and its figures change. There came a day when Philip had to do, not with visions of a golden future, but with a hard and merciless present. Suddenly, as an unexpected thunderbolt came the failure of the trust company in which his fortune Miguel "Oh, Philip, Philip!" was invested, and he awoke one morning to find himself that most pittable of all creatures on earth—the man who needs money, and knows no way of earring it. He had taken the blow standing, with a smile on his lips, like the thoroughbred he was, and just how deep the hurt went none knew. "Pleasant prospect," was his sole comment with a shrug of his shoulders to those who would have condoled with him on his loss, "a beer income, with a champagne taste. Do you happen to know the best way of adjusting them?" He might meet the situation with laughter and scoffing so far as others were concerned, but when it came to Madge it was another thing. "I can't ask her to marry a beggar," he said to himself, setting his teeth, and with --- I a face as white as death, "and I'm not poltroon enough to settle down and live on her money," and there had ben a terrible scene. "Oh, Philip, Philip," she had cried, clinging to him, "what good is all my money to me if I can't make things easy for you? Surely there is more than enough for us both." Then he had tried to explain to her, blunderingly, and haltingly, that something that is dearer to man than even the love of woman—that something which he must have, or die of self-loathing—his own self-respect. And in the end Madge "saw." The sympathy that always understood others was part of her charm, and Philip went away to face that un- M. M. "And what do you think of the new tenor?" known world of work that is so hard, and gives such scant rewards to the untried laborer. At college he had rather distinguished himself by some clever skits in the college journal, and so it seemed natural to him to turn to journalism as the most available way of settling the bread and butter problem. A friend obtained a place for him on the staff of the morning Asterisk, where he began as the bottom of the reportorial ladder. Philip kept doggedly on. He acquired a reputation for being faithful and accurate. He was a gourmand for work, and the city editor began to speak hopefully of him, but advancement comes slowly in a newspaper office, and to Philip, Madge seemed an immeasurable distance off, when suddenly he made his great scoop. It was the merest accident—successes mostly are—if we knew the truth of them. One evening he was walking along one of the fashionable residence streets, when suddenly he was startled by a scream, and looking up he saw a woman with the wild eyes and cunning of a maniac sitting on the very outer coping of the walls of a tall house, where she vowed her arms gleefully, and leaned dizzily forward to peer into the street below. In an instant all the mystery of the drawn blinds and jealously guarded doors of the mansion, at which many had marveled, was revealed. Here was one of those family tragedies, at which the world guesses—some poor crazed creature, living out her life within padded walls, and who had escaped from her keepers, and with that instinct of flight from a prison that survives all reason, was preparing to take a fatal leap into the street below. It had taken Phillip but an instant to realize the scene, and with a sudden inspiration he dashed past the servant in the doorway, and up the three long flights of steps, and through the open door in the roof, through which she had evidently climbed. The woman looked up at the sound of an approaching step. She saw a handsome young man coming toward her. When he reached her he made a courtly bow and offered her his arm, and without one protest, mechanically, naturally, as if they had been on the ballroom floor. ```markdown ``` she arrows and put ner hand within rt, and together they started towards the house, treading the narrow ledge, whose outer edge was death. A single push of the crazed woman's feeble hand and mutilation waited for them below, but there was not a tremble in the man's voice as he asked: "And what do you think of the new tenor this winter at the opera?" In the street below the crowd stood silent, tense with excitement, until they saw Philip hand the woman, still with courtly grace, through the door in the roof, and then it broke into tumultuous cheering. As for Philip, his one thought was to get to the office. He realized the value of the story. The secret of the darkened manslon. The closed blinds. The beautiful woman, with her wild, mad eyes—it was full of color, it was picturesque. Besides it was a scoop. There is, perhaps, no other joy in life equal to that which the young writer reads his own productions in type, and Philip's first conscious act the next morning was to reach for the paper. He had expected his story to be given some prominent place; perhaps to be featured. To his dismay it was not even printed. How long he might have stared at the paper in bewilderment he never knew, but that two letters caught his eyes, as they lay upon his table. One was from the city editor of the Asterisk, and he pounced upon it for an explanation. "Dear Van Vivier," he read, "sorry, but your scoop was scooped. The distressed damsel you rescued is old La Roux's daughter, and La Roux, as you appear not to know, is the heaviest stockholder in the Asterisk. Naturally he wanted your story killed. Virtue is rewarded, however. He suggests you for night editor in place of Carson, who has resigned. Report for duty to-night." The other letter was from Madge. It said: "Dear Philip—I have heard of your rescue of poor Fannie La Roux. How could you be such a hero, and such a goose as to take such a risk. You need a guardian, sir, and I am going to marry you to take care of you, on this day one month. You can't refuse a lady, you know. Yours, Madge." Philip read the letter twice, and then he bowed his head on the table, and when he raised it his eyes were dim and tender. SHOULD BE CLEAN-SHAVEN. Writer Says Ideal Man Wears No Hair on His Face. A recent writer says: "The ideal man is clean-shaven. Confidently he exposes to the world his features undisguised by hirsute appendages. Can we conceive the Apollo Belvedere with even a mustache? I doubt it. A merely honest man also, one would think, should wear no hair upon his face. And for these reasons: Each of us in great measure, partly from exaggerated ideas of his own perspicacity, partly from the stress of life, judges his neighbor from his face. His clothes are but a doubtful index of his character. But his features are, we firmly believe, indicative of his nature and his mode of life. "There may be villany written large on his upper lip. A certain mold of chin betrays its owner as a man of considerable homicide tendencies. Cover the lips with a waterfall mustache, drape the chin with an Assyrian beard, and it may well be that murderous monster is a pleasing enough fellow to view. Such an one does not venture to pass clean-shaven through the streets. Let each one of us present in all candor such features as are his. "To possess a receding chin is no crime. It is merely a sign of weakness. But to conceal it with a huge and bushy beard and thereby to present the appearance of a man endowed with great strength of will is surely a false pretense. I do not maintain that all bearded men are rogues and murderers. But I reserve my judgment and suspect them of roguery and homicide." The Life of the Cell It is no extravagance and no mere figure of speech to say that cells move about with apparent purpose, that they feel, that they suffer and enjoy, that they absorb and assimilate food, that they live, love, marry, propagate, and die. And we can say with as much truth that they think. But of this last mentioned function it will be well to defer discussion until a subsequent time. The cell, therefore, does all that the man does, has all that the man has, and possesses, within its tiny compass, heart, vein, muscle, nerve, artery, skin, bone, cartilage and what not of the future organism of the composition of which it forms one of the ultimate constituent parts.-Michael A. Lane, in National Magazine. Wanted—A Pin. It was Mabel's first appearance at church and she was rather fidgety. First she wanted one thing, then another. Finally she decided that she must have a pin, so she asked for one from her father. He had none. Then she tried her mother; but her mother, too, had none. Mabel's longing had been increased with her ill success, so she climbed upon the pew and shouted at the top of her small voice: "Has anyone in dis trowd dot a pin?"—Lippincott's. Recipe for Longevity. Rev. Dr. Robert Collyer, the famous New York divine, celebrated his eightth birthday quite recently. "I have never been sick a day in my life," says Dr. Collyer, "and I have never eaten my breakfast in bed. What is my recipe for longevity? Live a natural life, eat what you want and walk on the sunny side of the street." RESTING PLACES OF PRESIDENTS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE An Englishman of intelligence probably could tell offhand where the bodies of most of the long line of sovereigns of the "tight little isle" are buried. It is safe to say that one would need more than the lantern of Diogenes to find an American who could name the burial places of over half a dozen of the twenty-three Presidents of the United States who have died. It is a fact worth stopping to think about that the body of not one of the chief executives of the United States lies within the limits of Washington, the capital of the country. This nation has no Westminster abey. When death has removed the chief executives of the United States, they have been buried in nearly all THE OVERWATCH cases at the homes which they had left when they assumed office. Probably the tomb of no President, or of any American, is better known to the people of the United States than that of Washington. It is a simple, vincelad vault of brick on his estate at Mount Vernon, the coffins of the first President and his wife within being protected from vandals by unestentions iron barred gates in the entrance. Plain obedioss of the old fashioned type flank the shaded brick walk leading to the entrance. Washington died on Dec. 14, 1799. A plain obelisk marks the resting place of the dust of Jefferson. It stands at Monticello, his estate near Charlottesville, Va., and was inscribed with this epitaph from his own pen: "Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, of the statute of Virginia for religious freedom and father of the University of Virginia," but relic hunters have chipped much of it away. The body of the President who enunciated the famous diplomatic principle for the guidance of the western hemisphere which the United States is undertaking to enforce, James Monroe, lies in Hollywood cemetery, Richmond, beneath a canopy. He also died on the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration, the fifty-fifth, and was buried in New York. In 1858 his body was removed to Richmond with public ceremony. A domed canopy supported by Grecian pillars and erected on a raised platform of stone, the whole suggesting the seat of some oracle, shelters the old fashioned tombstone over the bones of Andrew Jackson. It is on President Jackson's estate, near Nashville, Tenn., the Herritage, died on June 8, 1845. The body of Martin Van Buren, the successor of President Jackson, who died on July 24, 1862, lies in the old Dutch cemetery at Kinderhook, N. Y., the town in which he was born. By stretching the imagination one P could find a resemblance between the log cabin which figured so prominently in the campaign of "Tippecaneo and Tyler too" and the vault in which lies the dust of William Henry Harrison, on the bank of the Ohio river, at North Bend, Ohio. The vault is laid in regular courses with a flat cover. President Harrison died, after being in office only one month, on April 4, 1841, leaving the reins of government to the Vice President, John Tyler. A square pavilion of simple design on the grounds of the Capitol of Tennessee, at Nashville, overlooking the city, shelters the graves of James Knox Polk 2nd Sarah Childress, his wife. He died on June 15, 1849, and was first buried in the yard of his home. A few years ago his body was Franklin Pierce. Concord. N. H. Andrew Jackson. taken up and placed in its present resting place. His widow lived until 1891. Zachary Taylor's grass-grown grave at Springfield, Ky., five miles from Louisville, is marked by a shaft, surmounted by a portrait statue, erected by the State of Kentucky. He died in the White House on July 9, 1850. For a time his body remained in a vault in Washington. Two Presidents have died at Buffalo. The first of these was Millard Fillmore, who died there on March 8, 1874, and his body lies beneath a polished granite obelisk of the modern type in Forest Lawn Cemetery. The memorial placed over the grave of Franklin Pierce in the cemetery at Concord, N. H., is like that of many a New England church spire. Beside his body lies that of his wife, President Pierce died Oct. 8, 1869. The only bachelor who occupied the Presidential chair, James Buchanan, died at Wheatland farm, near Lancaster, Pa., on June 1, 1868, and is buried at Lancaster beneath a mossy stone on a side hill overlooking the country side. The first President to receive a monument of national character was Lincoln. This stands in the Oak Ridge cemetery at Springfield, Ill., and consists of a platform of granite, from which rises an obelisk. Around the base of the obelisk at each corner are groups of bronze figures typifying the great struggle of the Civil War, and above these in front is a statue of Lincoln. The whole is in the neighborhood of one hundred feet in height. General Grant's close of life at Mount McGregor is well remembered, and the mausoleum on Riverside drive, New York, costing probably more than any other in this country, and numbered among the finest in the world, has been visited by many persons. He died July 23, 1885. The body of Mrs. Grant was placed beside that of her husband in 1902. The mausoleum in the Lake View cemetery, near Cleveland, containing the bodies of Gen. James A. Garfield, who was shot by Guiteau in Washington on July 2, 1881, and who died on Sept. 6 of that year is also a national THE GATE OF THE GARDEN monument visited by many persons from all parts of the country. The body of President McKinley, who died at Buffalo on Sept. 14, 1901, from the bullet of Czolgosz, lies in the receiving vault at Canton, Ohio, awaiting the completion of the nation's monument, the plans for which are now under consideration. Queer Kind of Barrels. The scarcity of wood suitable for the purposes of the wine producers of California has led to the manufacture of vessels of other materials than wood. At the big winery and distillery of the Italian Swiss agricultural colony at Asti, Cal., the greater portion of the cooperage is being changed from wood to cement lined with glass. An expert from Italy has arrived to do the work, and it is now being conducted with rapidity. Eight of the largest tanks are being lined with plate glass about half an inch in thickness. The tanks are square, with rounded corners and oval tops. Cement will be employed outside the glass interior instead of wood. The glass, to fit the curvatures, has to be blown to order, and is very expensive. The total storage capacity at the Asti warehouse and winery is 13,250,000 gallons, and the improvement contemplated will materially increase it.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. The Sweet-Tempered Child Outbursts of passion exhaust nervous energy and make enormous demands on the vital force of the body, besides exposing their victim to the perilous effects of extreme excitement on the work of the heart. The indulgence of irritability or of the habit of gloomy broodings lowers the whole tone of health. The line which divides extreme, passionate anger from insanity is narrow and ill-defined, so narrow and so ill-defined that there is always danger of a passionate disposition, when freely indulged, bearing fruit in insanity. Hysteries is often the sad product of a high temper. For all these reasonable reasons the mother who successfully fills her role uses her authority over her child and teaches her to control her temper. James K. Polk. TICKLE GRASS BY BYRON WILLIAMS "Twas Ever Thus. Scene--Six little girls playing on the village green. "Oh, Goodness!" with a shriek. "Look there, girls! Lookee!" "He's coming this way! "Oh, my! "He's running! "Oh, dear!" wailing. "He's catching-us!" panting. "Oh, Oh! Now--you--just--stop--that! Oh!" with a shrill cry that startles the neighbors for blocks. "Oh, dear! Boo-boo!" Chorus—"Boo-boo!" Tears, more tears! Shricks! Thea a man's voice calls out from Brown's raspberry bushes: "Here, you! What are you doing to those girls?" "Aw, g'wan! I ain't doin' nothin' to th' trayn'cats!" and little Johnnie Brown throws a dead garter snake across Smith's barbed-wire fence and slinks away down the alley! It is when we get these glimpses of "GIT AWAY FROM ME!" boyhood that we are reminded of Byron's excerpt: "A little curly-headed, good-for-nothing, And mischief-making monkey from his birth." And in a hammock at that! The playful zephyr rollicked in the moonlight and blew the loose tresses of her hair so riotously they tickled his ear! He felt that he was in danger, but he would not declare himself. She said nothing. The owl called weirdly from the scraggy monarch on the hill. The lake chattered, and, at the dock, the boat chains grumbled! Far away he heard a bow wow bark and the tinkle of a bovine bell! Still she said nothing! He did not look at her. He dared not. Yet he knew what a pretty pio- ture she was making as the moonlight ravished her face for kisses! But, no! He would remain firm. He— She stirred slightly. He gave no heed. "Jack," in a quiet, conquered spirit. "Jack, you—" He turned toward her patronizingly, ——"You may—put your arm— under my head—if you—" But, after all, this is none of our business. "Oh Love! young Love! bound in thy rosy bond; Let sage or cynic prattle as he will, These hours, and only these, redeem life's years of ill." In building anew on the ruins of a temple erected to Bacchus and his lik, there is much to be gained by a study of the scars. A singed toment profits by his first experience in publing chestnuts from the fire. Men that refuse to take warning of their own burns use less intelligence than the cat. Unduly Prejudiced. Bings—Why is Brown so prejudiced against automobiles? Wings—He was out in his auto with THAT WAS WHY a young woman one day and he asked her to marry him. Bings—Well, she accepted him, didn't she? Wings—Yes; that's the reason! Many a man that in years agone scaled a wall to steal a kiss, and fell into the raspberry bushes without compaining, makes a great fuss nowadays when he slips on the hall rug and bumps his elbow, as he kisses the same woman good-bye of a morning. Fate is often unkind, sometimes postponing the death of an ancient husband until there remains only the charm of his money to attract the marriageable men to the widow.

IN KANSAS CITY, The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. We wish Mr. Thos. J. Akins much success as national committeeman of the state of Missouri. We should like to say to our white brethren that although we, at times feel it our duty to differ from them, we do not think we should thereby incur their displeasure or spite—so long as we fight in the rank and file of our party. The Son still holds the highest regard for Col. R. C. Kerens, the retiring national committeeman from the state of Missouri. Upon our arrival at the Auditorium we were heartily received and were tended a ticket and a badge as guests of honor from Missouri. We wish him a long life and much success. Just so sure as the Negro turns from his shitless ways and begins to be a man, so sure will help come from unexpected quarters. "The Republican party has given a warning when it declares that the South must lose representation in Congress, in accordance as it limits the votes of its citizens. The colored delegates from the various states met in Chicago at Queen's Chapel one evening and at Little Bethel the next, during the convention and moved and resoluted and displayed oratory as usual, still nothing tangible has been done. I suppose motions have been tabled until the next convention, which meets in 1908. Wilson Dawson, the graduate and famous class orator of '♥', is now city editor of the Rising Son. He desires the cooperation of all friends. He is an ambitious young man and has distinguished himself as one of the coming orators of our race, by his commencement oration on "Manhood," which was enjoyed by all who heard it. Among the colored men of Missouri who attended the National Convention at Chicago, were our Nelson Crews, and W. M. Farmer, of St. Louis, who went as alternate delegates. Prof. Joseph Pelham, of Hannibal; C. G. Williams, of Booneville, our state committeeman; Chas. Covington, of Glasgow, Mo., Harry Walker, of St. Joseph; Dr. Waldron, of Sedalia; Carter of Sedalia; Theodore Clay, Prof. J. R. Baldwin, Prof. R. W. Foster, Robert Wiley, J. C. Chastine and Lewis Woods, or Kansas City, were there. The fact that President Roosevelt has insisted upon a Negro's being given some part in his nomination, but shows the greatness of the man. Think of any man whose success depends upon a public so wrought up as is the American public upon the subject of the Negro, his worth and his rights, daring to suggest even that the Negro has political rights worthy of the respect of the nation's president. Surely this will arouse the self-respect of every black man in the nation. It should make him desire to be all the more worthy of the honors conferred upon his people, all the more desirous of putting to the very best use the one means he has of defending his home and his family. From now on he should consider it the greatest insult that can be offered for any man to dare offer to make merchandise of his dearest possession—his ballot. Watch the Son next week and get ready to count the stars. A call has been issued by Mrs. W. W. Taylor, of Salt Lake City, Utah, to the colored women of the West, proposing that they form a Western Federation of Colored Women and send delegates to a convention of all the states from Kansas to California, to be held in Salt Lake City, July 5th, 6th and 7th. The call has met with a hearty response. It does seem that so large a scheme should have been given more time for preparation. But then we have to learn, and experience is sometimes a good teacher.

"My maw done tole me foh to git domos' fashernable kind." "Well, what do you want it for?" "Sick stumnick." "Sick stomach? I never heard of such a thing. I guess you've made a mistake. You surely don't want dye." "Yes, suh. You see, suh, my maw done git sick to her stumnick, an'de doctah teach her she have to diet."—Philadelphia Record. American Machines the Best. American machines the Best. It was long an axiom at the River Plata that the English threshing machine could hold its own against all rivals. This is no longer the case. American threshers are daily becoming more in use, and for the single reason that they are able to do much more work in a given time. An English threshing machine will turn out 1,500 to 2,500 bushels of wheat a day and requires the services of eighteen to twenty-one men, whereas the American machine will deliver 4,000 to 6,000 bushels and only require the aid of eight to ten men.—Mark Lane Express. Improper Civilized Dress. Improper Civilized Dress. Writing of "Savage and Civilized Dress," Edwin Swift Balch says that while it might be assumed that the superior development of the brain of civilized man would result in some form of dress far better and more tasteful than anything found among savages, it may be doubted whether this is the case. One marked error of civilized dress is its interference with the proper ventilation of the skin. The human animal breathes with his entire skin; refuse matter is thrown off as perspiration through every pore. The fact is well known, but in the garments of civilization it is almost universally unrecognized. First Cultivated Roses. The first cultivated rose is said to have been planted in Belgium in the year 1522. The damask rose was brought from France in 1573, the moss rose about 1724 and the China rose some fifty years later. Wild roses are, however, natives of all parts of Britain. In Wethering's "British Botany" only five distinct species are said to be indigenous, but in Hocker's and Arnott's "British Flora" nineteen species are mentioned, but some writers on botany raise the number to as many as twenty-four.—Kobe Herald. Simple Chinese Marriages. There is no loss of time about a marriage in China. The bridal party enters a temple and there a quantity of fireworks are let off, including a large number of crackers. When sufficient noise has been made to waken the "Great Joss" from his sleep the priest gabbles through the service, the bride and bridegroom take two little glasses of wine and the thing is done. They are as legally man and wife as if a day had been taken over the ceremony. LEARNED A PARROT'S MIGHT. Children Repeated Words With No Knowledge of Thin Meaning Knowledge of Their Meaning. Dr. Kerr, a Scotch minister, tells this story of his visit to a village school: "The lesson was one giving an account of a clever dog which had rescued a child from drowning. It was said that the dog was caressed by the parents of the child. I asked what was the meaning of caressed and the answer came at once. 'Made of fond led.' On referring to the list of words at the top of the lesson I found the explanation given was 'made of, fondled.' Wishing to find out if any child in the class had got a glimmering of the meaning I went from top to bottom and got from every child nothing but 'made of fond led,' pronounced as four words, to which they attached no meaning what ever. The teacher was surprised that I was not satisfied with the intelligence of the teaching." Statement as made to the Comptroller of the Currency at the close of business June 9th, 1904. ENGLISH BARD WAS RIGHT Shakespeare Made No Mistake in Loc- cating Scenes of "Hamlet." Dramatic critics and commentators have long been puzzled to account for the fact that Shakespeare placed the scene of "Hamlet" at Elsinore, in the Island of Zealand, whereas the Danish prince lived and died in Jutland. But just recently the municipal authorities at Elsinore, or Helsingor, have discovered in their archives that an English company was acting in their town in 1587 or 1588, and among the names of the actors are several of those who were acting with Shakespeare in London in 1589. Obviously, these actors must have talked about their adventures in Denmark, and so Shakespeare became well acquainted with Elinore, and, when he wrote "Hamlet," he knew by description rather than in an island of which he knew nothing. The poet was no great stickler for accuracy in geographical matters and this visit of the English actors plausibly explains the reason why the tragedy of "Hamlet" was placed in Zealand and not in Jutland. KISSES OF VARIOUS KINDS. French Writer Analyzes the Differences in Occupation. To steal a kiss is natural; to buy a kiss is a stupidity; two girls who kiss is a loss of time; not to kiss at all is quite ridiculous; to kiss the hand or the tips of the fingers is droll; to kiss one's sister is proper; to kiss one's wife is an obligation; kissing a child is often a regret for not being permitted to kiss the mother; to kiss an ugly person is gallantry; to kiss an old, faded widow shows great devotedness, but to kiss a young blushing widow is a charm; to kiss one's waiting maid is very dangerous; to kiss one's afflianced is a premeditation and a right; an old, rich aunt, it is hypocrisy; a young cook in the bloom of age is delicous, dalty; to kiss a neighbor's wife is doubtless very good, but quite wrong; kissing three girls the same day is an extravagance; a girl whose father is watching her, it may make one jump over the fence; to kiss a mother-in-law is a sacrifice; an old maid, it is politeness; finally, a kiss to one's mother is the purest, the sweetest of all kisses—Le Meschacebe, Paris.

There are very curious races of men in the more inaccessible portions of Mexico. Most of the people are cave-dwellers, but there is rarely more than one family in a cave. The curious thing about them, according to Dr. Carl Lumholtz, is that they do not feel pain in the same degree as we do. They have a delightful habit of pulling hairs out of one another's heads, but this gives them scarcely any pain at all. They tear out the hairs exactly as we should tear them out of the tail of a horse. These inferior races feel pain to a far less extent than in the case of civilized man. Dr. Carl Lumholtz once pulled six hairs at one time from the head of a sleeping child, and it had no effect upon it at all. Then he asked for more, but without effect. At last, when twenty-three hairs were pulled out at one stroke, the child scratched its head a little and slept on. Snobbishness in London. A London paper asserts that packets of visiting cards bearing distinguished names are on sale in that city. These cards are for the most part used by persons of social pretensions who wish to impress people of their own circle. In the hall or on one of the dining room tables elaborate salvers are left carelessly about, each one piled with cards bearing distinguished names. The waiting visitor, examining these cards to pass the time, is presumed to be deeply impressed by the social circle in which the owner of the drawing room mixes. Some of the purchasers of the cards enhance the effect by having scribbled in pencil upon the bits of pasteboard, in different handwritings, more or less intimate little messages. The Pilgrim. The Pilgrim. Where is the haunt of Peace, The place of all release— Tell me, O Wind—the House of sweet repose? "Night's dusky tent is spread For tired heart and head. And very fragrant is Night's orchard- close." What of the soundless deep, Those shining plains of Sleep. Whence the adventurer returns no more? "Sleep is the golden sea With blooms great and free. But still they bear the swimmer back to shore." Nay, tell me farther yet. Where no swift waters fret, Where rose and violet Engarland not, nor ever blooms the May— Tell me O Wind, for you must know the way. "Death's black pavilion stands In the waspah Lands. And in Death's garden all the flowers are stay." -Rosamund Marriott Watson. Elephants as Roadbreakers. Engineering feats by big game in Africa are thus described by a recent explorer: "Elephant and rhinoceros tracks were ubiquitous. These monsters are certainly the best roadbreakers in Africa. Among the hills some of the rhinoceros paths were extraordinarily well graded. Unfortunately the rhinoceros has a hide three-quarters of an inch thick and so does not see the necessity of clearing the thorn bush from over his road. An elephant is more considerate—he makes a clean sweep of everything." A Black-Hot Poker. It had been red-hot and the big boys in the school room were just through blazing holes in the woodbox. When it grew black Tom Sampson laid it on the edges of the box. In twenty seconds I was thinking about something else, put my hand under me and sat down on the poker. Then was when I made the jump of my life. The deep, long burn let me out of school early, but it was a star day in my education.—Earl Pratt. Craters of the Moon. It is estimated from recent photographs of the craters of the moon that they are over 200,000 in number. Prof. Pickering thinks that the white patches in some craters and the numerous bright radiating lines are due to snow and the less conspicuous lunar canals, which gradually appear, increase and fade away, in the lunar day, are attributable by the same authority to vegetation. In a Doubt Sense. "If I get my divorce and my alimony," said the fair caller, "I can pay you, of course." "But haven't you any property in your own name?" asked the cautious lawyer. "I have a building lot in Outsomehurst." "Just so. Well, my advice, mdlam, is that you drop the suit." "Why so?" "Insufficient grounds." "They say that lots of money is dropped in Wall street." "Yes?" "But I'll bet it never hits the street." "Why not?" "There are people there who are quick enough to catch it in the air. Possibly the Reason. "She's the valedictorian of her class, isn't she?" "Yes." "Wonder why they gave it that sort of a farewell name." "Oh, she's saying farewell to the idealities of life as a preliminary to buiping up against the realities." Good Reason. Grace—He says Friday is his unlucky day. Marie—Why, do you suppose? Grace—Oh, I guess he was born on that day.—Philadelphia Bullion. A Gentle Reminder: "There is a great deal of religion mixed up with nature," said the young minister who was making a duty call. "We find an instructive sermon in each blade of grass." "True," rejoined the strenuous female member of his flock, "and you have no doubt noticed that grass, as a rule, is cut very short." Not Timid. "They say capital is very timid," remarked the young man with the gold-headed cane. "Well, I guess you wouldn't think so," answered the young man with the cigarette, "if you'd have seen the way Maze Goldrox's father treated me when I asked him for her hand!" Engagements Patience—There is a great difference between engagements. Patrice—You mean an engagement of armies and an engagement of a man and woman? "Yes." "Not much difference. The men always claim to get the worst of it." On the Women. Mrs. Krotchett—I think it was hateful of you to go to the theater without me. Mr. Krotchett—I wish I had sent you in my place. It would have interested you more. Mrs. Krotchett—What did you see? Mr. Krotchett—Hats and bonnets. One Point in Its Favor. "Why, your flying machine won't even leave the ground," said the man who had been induced to observe the experiment. "Well," answered the inventor, after some reflection, "my machine may not be as much of a traveler as some of the others, but it's a heap safer." A Diplomatic Miss. "I guess I'll marry Tommy Brown when I get grown up," said four-year-old Margie. "Why, do you really like him so much?" asked her mother. Oh, it isn't that," answered Margie, but he likes the same kind of candy that I do." Juvenile Theory. "Now, boys," said the Sunday school teacher, addressing the primary class, "who can tell me why St. Peter stands at the golden gate?" "Mebby he's layin' for the feller what robber him ter pay Paul," answered a small urchin. Feminine Charity. Her—"What do you think of young Joblot?" engagement to Miss Pinkleigh? Him—"Oh, I don't know. He might do a good deal worse." Her—"Yes, and I'm sure he will—if he marries her." It Worried Him "That hand," said the city nephew, "is valued at $800 a front foot." "Thunderstation!" exclaimed the old farmer, hardly moving back onto the sidewalk. "An' I stood on it most five minutes! Do you reckon they'll charge me rent?" Ominous. "Is the boss going to give you the raise you asked for?" "Well—er—I'm afraid to say. I told him I thought my pay should be commensurate with—the amount of work I do, and he promptly agreed with ma."

'Phone 1451. 1329 Grand Ave. Philanthropists Seek to Save Poor Children of Great City A tent hospital for tuberculous children has been opened at Sea Breeze, Coney Island, New York. It is under the management of the Association for Improving the Condition of the poor, being a part of their summer colony of homes. It is the first hospital in America to be maintained in winter as well as in summer for the exclusive purpose of seaside treatment of the non-pulmonary forms of the disease, such as scrofa and tuberculosis of the bones, joints and lymph lobes. It has been shown in France, England and other countries that this peculiar form of tuberculosis can be cured by sea air. In France, where there are the most successful tent hospitals, girls and boys suffering from tuberculosis are kept as near the water as possible, some living on ships anchored out at sea, while in other cases ambulances are employed to carry the children to the ocean edge every day. The tent hospital, though the idea of scientific men, is partially the outgrowth of the intuition of nurses. A large number of tuberculous children have been coming to the Sea Breeze colony every year, and the effect of the salt air upon them so impressed the attendants that they recommended an ocean hospital, to be kept open the year around. Some $15,000 was appropriated in February and the work started. Other help has been given, and the sanitarium is now completed. The institution is not an exact copy of any European beach hospital, but represents the best ideas of all sanitariums of its type. The camps are as picturesque as they are useful. Built on a gigantic octagonal plan, the ocean home seems a veritable nest of tents. Each separate one rises from a point of the central platform, and is devoted to a special purpose. The platform is generous and comfortable, and encircles an open space of sand. The whole is just above high water mark. One tent is the office, another the ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` dining room, a third is devoted to recreation, and the rest are dormitories. The furnishings are not only scientific but dainty as well, white being the prevailing color. Over the canvas tops and sides is stretched waterproof khaki. Instead of glass windows there are wire screenings, letting in plenty of air and at the same time keeping out all insect life. The doors are of glass. Over the platform canvas and khaki are stretched, so that the little patients may have their outings even on rainy days. The very delicate will be carried or wheeled about. All sorts of ingenious things have been done in the way of ventilation, so that as one sits in a tent he feels as if he were in the open air, though there is no draught and no shock from sun or wind. In front of the nest of tents and nearer the roadway are others devoted to medicinal work. The association has felt the need of such a sanitarium for some time, as its staff has been unable to treat in their other homes the many children suffering from the disease. Tuberculosis has been one of the greatest hindrances to the labors of the summer colony. It is the terror of the tenements—a monster the doctors Interior THE BEDROOM and workers are always at war with. Dr. Herman Biggs of the health department estimates that some 3,000 or 4,000 children under fifteen years of age suffer from it. "In our work at the seaside home," said William H. Allen, general agent of the association, "we are confronted with it on every side. Last season we fought it in many ways. We raised $1,000 to relieve families where those were bad cases. An item was to present beds so that members of the household suffering from it would not have to sleep with well ones. Quar- Hospital For the Treatment of Pulmonary Diseases Established on the Sea Shore Has Been of Incalculable Benefit in Short Time. ters were changed from darkened places to those where there was plenty of sun. We furnished woolen clothing and nourishing food and increased the heating arrangements. In one branch of the work we added a corps of disinfectors to our staff. These trained visitors went directly to the homes of diseased children, cleaned every room, disinfected all furniture and clothing, and gave little talks to members of the family on how to prevent the spread of the disease. "Our tent hospital will first of all At Play. try to cure the little patients who have been carried through the winter by our workers. We will then take in convalescents from other sources who would in the general run of things have to go back to sweltering tenements and perhaps undo all the good they had received at the sanitariums. "The tent hospital is the climax of our fresh air work for tenement children. In the tents they will practically be living outdoors. There is very little hope of recovery for a tuberculous child who is obliged to sleep in Sketch of Tent Hospital. an overcrowded tenement house when the temperature is at 100 degrees. Quiet and nourishment are also two items to be taken into consideration. "The superintendent, Miss Higgenbotham, is one of the most successful trained nurses among crippled children. She has made a life study of their ailments and needs, and besides the scientific knowledge necessary, possesses a sympathetic nature that binds the little folks to her. They have all possible faith in their recovery if she says so. Special supplies have been furnished for these patients. They include flannel coats, trousers or petticoats, sweaters, woolen bathing clothes and eiderdown capes. The treatment will include special exercises. A novel set of games has been adopted that will add to the children's pleasure and instruction and not fatigue or injure them. "In this work action is the thing. Delay means death sometimes. A sick mother and languishing babe often have to be sent to the seashore the very day of the visit. Here is another point in our method—that is, we take the family, treat it as a unit, and do not separate mother and children. We even try to have them in a little room of their own at the ocean home. of a Tent. Interior of a Tent Car with. health de- me 3,000 men years "home," real agent confront- fast sea-ways.

Teaching the children how to play is one of the pleasant tasks of the kindergartners. Many a tenement child knows nothing of amusement. Sand games are perhaps liked best, and the youngsters are very original. Subways, elevated reads, stores, fire At Play. departments, police headquarters houses and parks are made of sand, shells and pebbles, and the children mimic the ways of the city in a very lifelike manner. The seawed floating in with the tides is a constant joy. The kind that snaps is called firecrackers. The feathery sort trims little sunbonnets, and the brown coral types make wonderful dress trimmings for miniature dames. The fiddler crabs, jellyfish, and all small dwellers of the ocean are captured and made friends with. Often they are swapped to the orphans at the St John's home next door for more concrete objects, such as pink candy sticks or marbles. When the wild roses come, rose parties are the order of the day, and the home can hardly hold the flower treasures brought in by the little ones. September ushers in the goldenrod, the favorite of the east Side mothers, and bundles of it are sent home by the day parties to the neighbors who can't get a vacation. For the boys there is nothing like baseball. Teams are gotten up by the youngsters, and called after all the colleges, the boys even assuming the names of the big players. The children dance on the plaza, and the mothers rock back and forth, humming and crooning in their willow chairs. Other fresh air societies are watching the work being done by the association in its tent hospital, and no doubt ere the season passes by plans will be made to dot the ocean front with tents for the isolation and cure of tuberculous cases among the poor children of the Greater City.—New York Times. Status of the Sun. "The sun should be regarded as an incipient binary star." says Prof. Bigelow in the Weather Review. Recent scientific work in investigating the circulation of the solar atmosphere in accordance with the laws governing the convective and radia- tive action of a large mass of matter contracting by its own gravitation, have led Prof. Bigelow to the hypothesis that "the single fiery envelope conceals two disks," a series of observations extending over many years on the period of solar rotation at various points in the surface shows that "the same meridian of the sun is seen twice in a single rotation of the entire mass, first as the Eastern limb, and second, thirteen days later, as the Western limb." Therefore the sun has a dumb-bell figure of rotation. Preserving Ancient Costume. Preserving Ancient Costume. The ancient Roman amphitheater of Arles recently witnessed a strange festival, quite Provencal and half Pagan. Mistral, the poet of the Provence, lamenting the gradual disappearance of the picturesque feminine costume of the region before irresistible "Paris fashions," has succeeded in organizing a provincial movement for its preservation. This was publicly launched at a "maidens festival," in which Mistral himself, as "Emperor of Provence," publicly embraced every Provencal maid who, having completed eighteen years, had first signed a "vow" never to discard the traditional dress of her ancestors or new-fangled notions from the capital. The Light Over There. Forevermore when Sorrow came thorny crowned an' gray— When the black storms bid the heavens, we hear him singing—singing in valleys of despair: "The bells—the bells are ringing—the light is over there!" The deep voiced Dark walled round us, and not a star unfurred; Like a loot from heaven back to homeless work. But still that singing—singing, sweet as a Love thrilled prayer: "The bells—the bells are ringing—the light is over there!" And the weary world low list'ning took courage strong, And blest him for that tray of light that glimmered in his song. And an echo to his singing came from nearer nearer: "The bells—the bells are ringing—the light is over there!" —Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution. Is Deserving of Monument It is proposed to erect a monument at Washington to the memory of the late Major Walter Reed, U. S. A., whose labors demonstrated that yellow fever is transmitted by mosquitoes and who died in Cuba of the disease while conducting his investigation. It is said that Major Reed's discovery made it possible to stamp out the disease in Havana. Turning Turtle The old salts are laughing at Senator Hale's remark about battleships turning over like a turtle. What he meant to say was turning turtle—a very different thing from turning over like a turtle, inasmuch as turtles do not turn over. When a vessel turns turtle it turns over and resembles a turtle right side up. EX-SOLDIERS THE ROSEBUD LANDS. S. Dakota, will be opened under Homestead Law.

Strong Language. Fredericksburg, Ind., June 20.—Rev. Enoch P. Stevens of this place uses strong language in speaking of Dodd's Kidney Pills and he gives good reasons for what he says: "I can't praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too much," says Mr. Stevens. "They have done me so much good. I was troubled with my kidneys so much that I had to get up two or three times in the night and sometimes in the day when starting to the waterhouse the water would come from me before getting there. Two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me entirely. "I have recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to many people and have never yet heard of a failure. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the things for kidney disease and rheumatism." Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure the kidneys. Good kidneys ensure pure blood. Pure blood means good health.

Copyright, 1901, by Duty Story Pub. Co. For ten years Mr. G. Heming Magnus of Philadelphia had been a writer for the lesser magazines. He wrote short stories and essays and sent them to the editors in the hopes they would be accepted. His stamp bill was large. Still, perseverance, a mild intention and knowledge dug from the encyclopedias will tell in time. His accepted manuscripts increased in number. This perked him up. He started a bank account of moderate dimensions. Nothing makes a man so brave as a bank account. He was a slender man, with drooping shoulders, mild blue eyes and a sandy Vandyke beard. When "illonized" he used to twist this beard into a sharp point and stab himself upon his narrow shirt-front. Though his legs were wobbly and his feet large, his "heart was in the right place." This he knew from the fact that when startled by a sudden noise it "beat thick and quick, like a madman on a drum." A boisterous doctor came up behind him, slapped him on the shoulder and howled: "Maggy, old man, how're the brutal editor men?" The heart, which was in the right place, began thumping. Magnus wheeled and faced him, wrath in his pale eyes. "I do so hate to be called 'Maggy.'" he snapped. "It really is not my name." Then his thin, delicate hand went to his left side. "It's all right, Magnus," the doctor said. "Beg pardon. You looked overworked. Take a bit of free advice: Go away somewhere and rest." It was early summer and the members of the literary clubs, the fashionables and the preachers were flitting. The bank account was healthy. Magnus looked over the papers. Among a thousand advertisements of places "with all the comforts of home," his eye was caught by a mention of Harper's Ferry, Virginia. He asked about it and was told it was a good country, with pure air, farm foods, trout fishing and cheapness. That seemed to suit. Next afternoon he alighted from a dilapidated buggy in front of "Grassdene" farmhouse. Shadows lay deep on the alley. The Potomac rolled grandly to the south. Looking from his window over the sweeping river, Magnus said: "Here is rest. I do not want human companionship. A cultivated mind needs only itself. Surrounded by these eternal hills, amid which dwell a simple people, solitude should bring happiness. Their ways are not my ways, their souls are half-developed, but we need not clash." He fell readily into the habits of the household. It consisted of Mrs. Lou- Eugene Magnus wheeled and faced him wrath in his pale eyes. doun, a silver-haired widow, her grand-daughter, Amanda Loudoun, a brown-eyed girl of eighteen, with a delicious figure, a mass of brown hair and a frank smile, and a man of all work, who ate enormously and said never a word. The two women gave him no confidence, for which he was grateful. He was forced to admit that their manners were perfect, but set this down to innate female refinement. They made no effort at all to entertain him. He paid his moderate bills and kept himself to himself. He discovered a boat in a small house which stood by the river and used to pull laboriously a half-mile up the stream of evenings, then float lazily down. In two weeks, however, he realized that a cultivated mind needs some- thing more than itself. He was bored. Furthermore, his conscience oppressed him. He told himself that he was ungenerous in withholding himself from these two lonely women, who knew nothing of books, society, cities or the great world without. He was not conscious of a desire to alleviate the loneliness of Mrs. Loudoun, but he thought the girl would improve mightily by converse with a man of his cultivated abilities and experiences. She was plump, and her weight in the boat made the rowing more difficult, but he endured the extra labor for the pleasure of watching her intellect expand like a flower. She listened to his talk of books with every appearance of interest. He found all her comments apt, and some of them shrewd. He felt the unconscious charm of her innocence. One evening, three weeks after the beginning of their friendship, she assumed guidance of the conversation. It was done in a spirit of mischief but the eyes of G. Heming Magnus did not see it. He lacked the perceptive faculty. She astonished him much by a sound, if not brilliant, monologue upon the Elizabethan poets as compared with those of the earlier era, and in a mild discussion of the reputed authorship of the Shakesperean plays, worsted him badly. She said they were the work of Sir Walter Raleigh during his eighteen years of con- BILSON finement in the Tower of London. Next day she invited him into a part of the house he had not visited, introduced him to a sitting-room, furnished plainly but in perfect taste, seated herself at an old but tuneful piano and played for him, with feeling and force, selections from Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Verdl, Donizetti, Wagner, De Koven, Millard, Sullivan and "Dave" Braham. The Philadelphian dimly recognized that he might possibly have been guilty of underestimating the simple farming family. A little later he began to hold her in his thoughts and to speak of her, on his rambles, as a "Potomac rose." This was a bad sign. In all his thirty years he had seen no one like her, so simple, so unaffected, so sympathetic, so beautiful. This was a worse sign. He measured mentally the height of his bank account and found it sufficient. This was the worst sign of all. It was late in the September of 1898. There was a slight chill in the air. The girl, wrapped in some fleecy light stuff, sat, as was her custom, in the stern of the little boat, which made no sound as it drifted. In the moonlight her brown eyes looked like jewels. Not a word had been spoken for half-hour. G. Heming Magnus said: "Miss Loudon, when I came here I thought you ignorant country folk. I know now what a fool I was. I must go to-morrow and it makes me sad. I can't bear to think that I will never see you again. I have never told you that I love you, but I do sincerely. You must have seen it. Will you marry me?" She did not answer. She had grown suddenly pale and was staring intently at the landing, then not a hundred yards away. Suddenly she clasped her hands and a wave of crimson rose to her face. A happy smile curved her lips. Then she gazed earnestly at her companion. "I have not seen it," she said gravely. "Forgive me, Mr. Magnus, but I can not marry you." In silence he picked up the oars. The prow of the boat grated upon the shore. As the girl stepped lightly to land she was taken into the arms of a tall, young fellow in khaki uniform. She stalled there a full five minutes, while Magnus stood awkwardly by. Then she turned, saying: "This is Mr. Landon. He has been at Santiago. We have been engaged for two years." Next spring G. Heming Magnus wrote a book which is in its 150th thousand. His heart has gone into it. Its name is "Queen Rose of a Rosebud Garden." Last Year's Shipbuilding. Last Year's Shipbuilding.
