"But he waited; he would be drawer,
and do something first. Heidi not need
fees, so he began with some of those
dark places of the city, where strife and
hunger and sickness abound, he found
misery and sin deeper than words, in
squallid houses, where wretched beings
sleep on straw, looking up through
broken roofs to frosty skies; misery that
he could relieve, Ignorance that he coul6
save: This work was not great-smal
deeds, still and secret; but he fount
strength in doing for Gods creatures
he was wiser, better man than whe1
revealing amid oil the exquisite creation
of art. He gloried in his wealth, for the
wondrous things it might accomplish
and he thanked the good Giver for it.
'Miss Brent, you sat in Judgment on
this man once! has he won back your
esteem? Can you honor one who is try
ing to live for some other than himself
I must know!''
Alice had been waiting for some CUES
ton, and she Gained her voice to answer
low and steadily:
1.-The woman who rashly despised that
man, honors and reverences him as one
OF the noblest who ever lived"
"Masks off, good people!" cried out
the CHEEKY voice of the squire; *'and
then We'll adjourn to the other room.' -
"Let me assist you," and the strange
monk quickly united the twisted cord,
while Alice Brent sat there before him
with look of gladness in her eyes, as
she sought his face, that made up to
John Thorne for all the long months of
sacrifice and endeavor.
"Aice," he said hesitatingly, II
thought it was enough to be called your
friend once more; but if you give me a
different answer-if you could learn in
time-if there is even possibility that
this New Year holds SO much JOY for
me-"
She lifted pure, radiant, peerless
face. and said:
John, have loved you all the time. I"
He laid the golden head on his shoulder
and from thenceforth they two were con-
to bear any pain but separation. Life
had no sweeter portion for them.
"Where has the child gone % The
words broke in upon them as from some

Why didn't you send me word, nv good
fellow? would not have missed you
for anything. Your aunt is here; came
in to see howthe young folks looked, and
she told us your new title"
''What mischief have you been about?
I haven't seen such roses in your cheeks
for many long day. I like you, I like
you, John, very much, and he enforced
his words with a hearty shake Of the
hand.

Till halo December brought the Christmas cheer.

Thou shalt thy strength renew

While love and gratitude find space to say,

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of

etfcacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are SO sl1ilfully COM

each is assured. and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so efectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corr,.ptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
Tie reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coln-

OF its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated. and are constantly being

The revolution that has taken place IN the
last few years In the dramatic world of this
country is well illustrated by the fact that
while there are $50 theatres In this country
there are only seven resident stock com
panies, as against 1913 travelling combinations
The change from the old systems. where
every theatre had its own company, Is most
demoralizinR to the dramatic profession.
travelling company has only one piece to per
form. TO fill the main characters in this play
the cheapest actors are In demand. as nearly
anybody. the most indifferent sure IN TACT
can be drilled into playing one part. lht
new plan therefore means ruin to all but TINS
eheapest actors.

The Prince Of Wales has set reform that
will he received with satisfaction in England.
He has ordered dinner 10 be- served at Sand
ringham promptly at z o'clock hereafter. ln
this country the dinner hour OF any particular
individual is not regarded as matter 81 pub
lie concern, but it is different in England.
There the fashionables dine at 80. The &C
ton of the Prince Is. therefore, an innovation
upon old established and rather dtsagreeahle
custom. AS he Is the recognized leader In all
social matters 1t may be assumed that the
new hour for serving dinners Will become
r,onular at once On the score OF convenience
it Is great Improvement upon the Old Gus
tom. inasmuch as 1t offers the English arlstoe
raey an opportunity to spend some portion
of the early evening at the theatres and othel
resorts. This was almost an imposslolntl
with the dinner hour fixed at $50.

EQUALIZATION or ASSESSMENTS.

Gov Witt touches the malnaprlng OF the
whole question of revenue when he says that
ii Ia idle folly to talk about taxation being
uniform while our assessments are left to
the VARYING capriees and tho fallihle lndg-
ment of local officials. II Is In fact the as
scssment which regulates the tax and uni
formity Of taxation is q mere name unless
the assessments can be systematized and
controlled. Mon may pay six mills IN St
| James and six mills in Claiborne, and may
think that they are enjoying the boon OF
equal taxation, but II property In st. james
ia assessed at one-third its real value, and
| property in Claiborne at two-thirds, then the
/ Claiborne people are practically paying twice
as much tax as those of st. James, and the
I uniformity IA transparent and offensive
fraud Tho State records show numbers OF
instances where, In adjacent parishes, separ-
ated by some narrow stream, or by only an
imaginary line lands which are substantially
OF the same market valuet are assessed at
| rates absurdly and extravaRantly dtspropor-
tomato 1t NAV seem incredible, but 1t is
fact that there Is one instance where land on
one side OF a parish line Is rated at less than
81 an acre and, on the other side, at more
j
soeyer In the productiveness or the location or
In any other respect helping TO fix the actual
value. Such casts as these are too IL igrantly
outrageous for comment and Gov. Wiltz Is
more than justified in going straight to the
root Of the matter without ceremony.
What this State most urgently needs is a
sweeping reform In the whole system OF as
sessments, and the adoption OF methods
that will effectually and permanently prevent
the abuses now complained Of T. nder the
working or the Board OF Equalization as we
see them In such States as Illinois and New
Jersey, the public finances can always be
brought to a cash basis and the
expenditures kept within the revenue.
Illinois was in as unfortunate plight
as Louisiana is when the experiment
Of euualiZing assessments was first adopted
To-day she Is In tourishng condition, witt
low taxes and an overtiowing treasury, while
in New Jersey we see 1t announced that NJ
I taxes at all will be levied this year, the con
r dition of the treasury being so prosperous q;
: to require no further revenue for at leas
\ twelve months to come. There can be nt
/ doubt that the system recommended by GoV
+ Witt Is the true one. Our legislators shoult
/ inform themselves fully as to all the details
: as they have been elaborated and perfected
! through the practical experience which ha
\ crystalzed them into symmetry and strength
Z They may be assured that the inauguration

Virginia proposes to make war In earnest
upon the outside depredators On her oyster
beds. For some time past the Virginia oys-
termen have been annoyed BY parties from
MARYLAND, who have come down in force and
driven the native fishermen away, and last
week murdered two and wounded several
more This state of things Is not to be sub
mitted to any longer. 1t is proposed to dis
Uatch craft fully armed and equipped, with
a detachment of artillery aud company OF
infantry. to the seat OF war and drive the Mary
Ianders away from the oyster beds For this
purpose ali appropriation of $500 has been
anpropriated by the Legislature. It's said
+hat there are about thirty OF the carpet

crews Of which are said to be well armed with
long range rifles and disposed to resist any
