81 know it," said Elsie; "and Isabelle
Is SO proud that she will not hesitate o
moment after she is convinced of his de-
ception, and only hope she will think
of some plan to punish the wretch"
That evening, Herman Lancing sailed
forth from his hotel in the best Of spirits
His toilet, that he had spent the greater
part of the afternoon over; was perfect
in every particular, and he went forth
to conquer, fully conscious of his ele-
CANT style and beauty. He was going to
meet Elsie Wheeler. She had sent an
answer to his note few hours before;
but it did not surprise him any when he
read that Miss Wheeler would grant him
an interview. Hadn't Miss Wheeler
seen him, and wasn't he irresistible?
"Ahl there is the creature now,
dressed in black, and closely yelled,
just as she said she would be, so as to
make no mistake" said Herman to him :
self, as he crossed to the opposite cor
ner, where lady was standing, SEEM
ingly waiting for somebody.
"Mlss Wheeler, this is more than
gained the lady's side. 81 assure you 1
will always remember this moment as
the happiest of my life."
"Will you, indeed, Mr.. Lancing,", said
the lady, throwing back her veil, and,
instead Of Elsie Wheeler, Isabelle Ham
ilton stood before him, with q mocking,
scorntul smile.
To be surprised at anything W as not q
part Of Mr.. Lancing's creed;. but this
evening, for the first time in his life, his
creed was all sea. He was surprised,
struck dumb with astonisnment. He
tried to speak, but with a scornful wave
of her hand, Isabelle said:
"My dear Mr.. Lancing, don't try. l
would not have you distress yourself for
words. A slight mistake on your part
brought me here. Ii ever again you have
fortune at stake, you must be more
careful. Au reuoir."
*By Jovep was Mr.. Lancing's simple
comment, for an hour after he found his
voice.
Some day after, Herman learned that
Alvoid Kemble was engaged to Elsie
Wheeler; but what mistake he had made
that lost him an heiress, Mr.. Lancing
never found out.

er and the speculator. A considerable
portion have been of this class. A
smaller number have not been satisfied
with less than all the land they could 80
into debt for. They have devoted all the
money'they could get to speculation, and
LETT their debts to the merchants and
mechanics unpaid for years.
1t is this class that is making all the
noise about the Indebtedness of farm
ers. They are the wide-awake public
leaders among the farmers. They have
fine horses and carriages and aim to
rival the gentry of the larger towns.
They have the control Of the State
Oranges and of the National Grange.
The mass of the farmers should not be
led by these men, They are now trying
to turn, the whole order of the Patrons to
the support of currency scheme that is
one of the widest and most visionary
products of an unchastened imagination.
Prudent, genuine farmers would be ter
ribly injured by it.
1t is nothing, in fact, but scheme of
the reckless farmer spectators to re-
pudiate their debts, while the only repu.
diation that is honorable would be the
reputation of such leaders by honest,
democratic farmers. All producers who
are not seeking wealth beyond the fair
returns of faithful work need such a
currency as would be as good in London,
Paris, Calcutta, Jeddo and Pekin as in
New York and Cincinnati.

Severe Criticism ON Mr.. CARROTS Recent
Speech

We have been led to the discussion of
this problem by the very extraordinary
speech made by President Garrett, OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, before his
Board few weeks ago. Upon his decla-
ration OF the usual i've per cent. semi
annual dividend to the stockholders, Mr..
| Garrett addressed his directors in terms
of such eXtravagant self-adulatiOn, and
of such reckless personal criticism of his
railroad rivals, that few even of his most
devoted associates can respect his at
tributes as the directing mind of great
corporation. Indeed, it would be char
table to accept the repeated intimations
that mind never marked by breadth or
boldness Of grasp has weakened under Sc
we're eXactiOns, and now plays fantastic
tricks before endangered stockholders.
He ope MS with congratulations upon the
declar alton of five per cent. dividend,
and boasts Of the "splendid and singu-
larly satisfactory results" Of the rum
GUS competition now waged between the
trunk lines in the Western business.
Then, with such concealment OF the act
ual truth as to amount to falsehood that
it is as transparent as the light OF day,
he points to an increase OF gross earn
ings for the month of March over the
corresponding month of last year, of over
$103, 900, and to an increase of fifty per
cent. on the Chicago Division in single
month.-Did Mr.. Garrett suppose for a
moment that it would not be noticed
that he does not claim to- have earned
his dividend, and that on the Chicago
Division he does not pay dividend at
all? And is he weak enough to dream
that any man of ordinary intelligence e
will not know that he has not net pro-
fits to pay his dividend, and that With a
silly, bombastic proclamation he is CIV
ing. his stockholders money not now
earned, and certain never to be earned,
under his present policy? His gross re-
ceipts may be stated, but his tickets are
held by thousands to-day, good until
used, whether this year or next, and
thrice his boasted excess of gross earn
| ings has come from the purchase of those
| tickets. which will almost end his reye-
nue. for through passengers over his road
| for q year TO come. Nor is he more for
tunate. in his freights,, for he does not
Transport q ton Of through freight OF
any KIND now that does not actually
cost him twice as much as be receives
for il. His present rate is less than seven
mills per mile, and to declare to the
stockholders that he has attained the
most "splendid and singularly satisfac-
tory results" by selling out his main pas
senger traffic tor year ahead, at less
than half price, and by multiplying
treights. every ton of which adds just SO
much to his losses, is to proclaim him
self the veriest knave or fool, and to in
suit intelligent business circles.-Phila-
delphia Times.

ONLY A WOMAN.

Only woman, shriveled and old! .''-'''.'
The play Of the winds and the prey OF the cold
Cheeks that are shrunken,
Eyes that are sunken,
Lips that were never o'erbold;
Only d woman, forsaken and poor,
Asking an aims at the bronze church door.
Hark to the organl roll upon roll
The waves OF its music 60 over her soul!
Silks rustic past her,
Thicker and faster;
The great bell ceases its toll.
Fain would she enter. but not for the poor,
Swingeth wide open this bronze church door.
Only woman--waiting alone,
Icily cold on an ice-cold throne. ..
What do they care for herp
Mumbling prayer for her,
Giving not bread but a stone.
Under old laces their naughty hearts beat,
Mockihg the woes Of their kin in the street.
Only woman! In the old days
Hope carroled to her her happiest lays!
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her, =
Somebody crowned her with praise;
Somebody faced up the battles OF life,
Strong for her sake who was mother or wife.
Somebody lies with a tress Of her hair
Light on his heart where the death shadow
are:
Somebody waits for her,
Opening the gates for her,
Giving delight for despair.
Only woman-nevermore poor
Dead In the snow at the bronze church door.

A letter from Vienna, Austria, of
April 9th, states that "the long winter
has considerably damped the hopes OF
overcoming the commercial crisis, which
has now lasted for two years. The har-
vest prospects are anything but encour-
aging; a great part of the empire Is still
covered with snow, and almost every
where the ground, except on the upper
surface, is hard frozen, so that no cor
rect opinion can be formed on the state
of the young corn; but one thing is cer-
tain, that Austro.Hungary will lose the
start she has always had of America,
North Germany and Russia in the West
ern European corn markets, all agricul-
tural work having been delayed at least
a month this spring."

The Standards stereotyped figures in

The Standards stereotyped figures in
relation to State extravaganza have be-
come too familiar and too well understood
to create any alarm in the circle Of its
readers. The State has an excellent and
well deserved reputation for economy in
the management ofits affairs The matter
of State printing is put forward prominent
ly by the Standard to show extravaganza,
and yet the figures of the Standard, which
are deceptive and incorrect, show vastly
in favor Of the economy of Maine when
compared with other States. The Stand.
ard makes the whole expense of State
printing for the last eighteen years amount
TO the sum of $3.50. 1924 But the State
printing of Massachusetts for only two
years exceeds considerably that sum, and
In New Jersey. democratic State, the
cost Of printing last year was about
800. 900.
