true value the answer which George
Fenby had made. Indeed his devotion
to Alice Arnden vas so absolute and
complete that no one, save her modest
self, would ever have doubted it for a
moment.
.'It's my highest ambition to be the
master of that estate, laughed George,
land 1 have made an offer which l
think will be accepted. l am to have
an answer tonight. If 1 succeed 1
shall be supremacy happy. If not
why, l will do as other men have done
failing of what 1 want, l will take
what 1 can get"
Ralph could not remember where
Alice Arden had been when these inno-
cent words had been spoken. That she
had been near enoughto hear them was
evidenced by her letter, which was be-
fore him.
He could only dimly imagine how she
must have suffered in trying to evolvs
the truth Gas she believed the truth to
beg from what she had heard. When
a human idol falls from the place it has
held in the heart, not the least of the
pain comes from what we see, OF be-
lieve we see, of its unworthiness. To
find our gold but gilded clay is a sor-
rowful thing. So he sat there, and
pitied Alice Arden for the faith in the
man which she had lost, as well as the
nan himself who had been put from
her. With what pain beyond that
which would come to her from q belief
that her lover would think and do what
his words seemed to imply, must she
face the added shame of his STOPPING to
tell it; nay. more, to boast of it.
Ralph raised his head. The time had
not been long since he sat down to think.
But he knew it all. Two proud and OBJ
stinate young creatures had beenparted
by fate. And he muttered with white,
compressed lips: Il alone understand

IT IS astonishing how many women whistle.
LIGHT reporters who have made enquiries of
their female acquaintance unite in informing
the writer that whistling is practiced by at
least three of every five ladies under 20 years
of age, two of every five between 20 and 80
and one of every ten past so. Once upon a
time, as they say in the story books, a girl
who whistled was considered very naughty
girl indeed, and was frowned down by la
dies of ripper years and was often put in COW
entry by quondam associates of her own age,
but now the whistling girl is not at all singu-
lar in any circle of society. She may not Of
ten be seen whistlIng, but if one will but lis
ten when waiting for his fair dulcinea to ar
range her toilet preparatory to visit to the
ball or theatre, he may hear low notes coming
from little red lips puckered up as temptingly
as ever they were when kisses were ripening
on them. And why shouldn't she whistle {?
The art, once a source of pleasure, may in
time become safety valve to give vent to
emotions aroused by husband who is in the
habit of sitting up with sick friends and at
| tending lodge meetings. Just think how much
better than scolding a man wearied by his
onerous social duties would appreciate a NOR
ceau from the latest OPERA Then, too,
mothers with cracked voices need not disturb
their neighbors by trying to sing, but can, in
stead, whistle their babies to sleep when they
are troubled with collie or some other infantie
malady, and maidens, by merely uttering the
long whistle used by men to indicate surprise
and indignation, may dismiss ardent suit.
ors who have proposed matrimony. OF
course whistling in public is not to be thought
of, but it may be done at home with as much
benefit as singing or stunning on a piano.

State Assembly AZ are lawyers, and Of 81
members of the Senate IS are lawyers. In all
the State Legislatures of the United States an
average of one out of every "a is representa-
tive of the legal profession. In Congress the
profession has zoo members, or one for every
2Io lawyers in the country. But OF the
?, 600 900 farmers in the country but IS are
congressman, and the 4, 5000 mechanics
are represented in Congress by but two OF
their number. The lawyers excuse their place
hunting by declaring that they are more apt
than other persons to frame legal acts, but
their position may be shaken if we consider
that 'the charters on which rests the founda-
ton of our laws and liberty were drawn by
assemblies IN which lawyers formed but an
insignificant minority" The magma charta
was framed by the Barons Of England and
our Federal Constitution by body of which
lawyers composed but a small part. Other
countries are not troubled as we are by an
excess of legal talent in their Legislative houses
Few English barristers are members OF Parlia-
ment and few advocates have seats in the
French Chamber of Deputies. Nowhere else
do lawyers have supreme control of legis-
lation.
WE MUST have our craze. There is in us
propensity we cannot overcome for becoming
suddenly excited on matters we ourselves
deem Of little importance. Some years ago
we all tried to jump Jim Crow; then we
rushed en- masse to hear Ole Bull play on his
violin; next we went mad on the subject of
Jenny Lind's singing; this was followed by
an inordinate passion to see 'the divine"
Fanny Ellsler dance, by a sensation over
Beecher and Ingersoll, the IS, IS, ID puzzle
and the Bernhardt rage; then we showed a
fondness for barbaric splendors, which we
aestheticism; now our craze leads
us toward gluttony. Ever since the New
York quail eater began his task, finished a
day or so ago, imitators have sprung up all
over the country. Some of these have not
confined their efforts to devouring quails,
but have wagered that they can eat enormous
quantities of pretzels, drink great number
of schooners of beer, and do other things in
the gastronomic line, the mere mention Of
which is sufficient to irritate one afflicted with
dyspepsia. The champion glutton thus far is
a young man in Chicago who drank half
key of beer and ate 90 hard boiled eggs in
an hour. But this feat may be surpassed, if
the craze is kept up, by some gentleman of
cosmopolitan tastes who will astonish his
stomach with half-dozen corks stewed in
kerosene or a key of gimlets with horse
radish for relish. Where it will end we can
only conjecture. Its effects are not at all bene-
fetal to mankind and in the name of an out
ragged community the LIGHT protests against
allowing ornithophagous imbeciles to further
disgrace us.

THE Galveston News, in the course of
column article, declares legislation on the
tariff to be invalid because the constitution re.
quires that all revenue bills shall originate in
the lower house. The News forgets that the
result Of the Senate's deliberations on the tariff
is given in the form of an amendment to rev.
enue bill which originated in the House of
Representatives. But the fact cannot be de-
MED that in this instance the tail is wagging
the dog, for.the tariff system which the Senate
is lacking on to the revenue bill is vastly more
important than the bill as originally drawn.

a Consistent Bishop,

The bishop of Metz, NJ. Dupont des
Lodges, who recently gave orders to his
clergy to hold once every Sunday SER
vice In German, has just been accorded
the decoration of the Iron Grown by the
Emperor William, in recognition of this
concession. Bishop Dupont, however,
has declined the honor, in a courteous
letter to Marshal Manteufel, in which
he gives as his reason, his desire to re-
mann faithful to the principle of strictly
keeping aloof from all political sympa-
thies. The French papers express salts
faction at the step taken by the bishop,
and recall TO their readers that he had
twice been offered the cross Of the legion
of honor by the emperor, and declined
il. He, however, asked III. Theirs forit
after the annexation of his diocese to Ger
many, and this wish was, of course, at
once granted.

From the Charlotte IN. c. Journal
1t was in the Clay campaign of 1914.
An immense audience, Is, 900 or 20, 600
had assembled to hear Preston. A large
stage had been erected which was
crowded with prominent persons, and
the multitude was packed around it.
There was the usual buzz and confusion
incident to such occasions, until after
Preston had been speaking a few mo-
ments, when it began to subside and
soon there was dead silence, except
the music of that wonderful voice. He
was in fine condition for his work and
went at it in bis best style. The silence
seemed to intensity as the tide of his
elOquence poured over the dense mass
Of enchanted listeners. With the swell
Of his sOnOrOus voice the audience
seemed to rise on tiptoe and to sink back
again with lis ebbing cadences; and
again they swayed with the sweep of bis
arm like wheat field TO the breeze. At
length, in a mannifcent burst of inspir-
ation-with his long arm raised high,
bis eyes flashing and the multitude
hanging breathlessly to his words-he
seized the brown wig which he wore.
held it up over his shining bald head,
and, still soaring In his splendid flight,
replaced 1t cross-wise and scared on; and
there was not, in that vast audience, the
least ripple of laughter at this most
ridiculous performance, but, on the con-
trary, no one seemed 10 notice it. so
completely entranced was every listener.

The Etiquette of Naval Statutes.

Twice lately--once at the Piraus and
again at Smyrna-has the captain of a
French man Of-war had to complain of
his salute being improperly returned.
At the Pir3us Admiral Conrad's twenty
one guns were answered by only nine
teen from the shore. The admiral de-
handed a rectlhcati0n Of the error, and
obtained it. Once more the French
flag was hOisted at the mizzen, and was
saluted with the full tale of One-and-
twenty guns from the shore. At Smyrna
the fort only fred twenty guns in re-
turn for the return for the salute OF the
French frigate. Strrightway an officer
on board was deputed to call upon the
pasha to make q respectful but firm pro-
test. The Turkish funCtonary apollo
gized, and, to see that the second salute
was properly done, he went himself to
the fort to superintend the gunners.
There he stood, with the traditional am
Der chaplet in his hand, counting the
guns one by one till the Twenty-frst was
fired. CHOW" said the pasha, "fre an
other; perhaps they will leave us in
peace. But his excess of zeal was
fatal. The French captain considered
the extra gun piece of impertinence,
and sent the officer to tell the pasha So
The unfortunate functionary returned
with a groan, and this time the salute
was correct
