differences of intellect, taste acquire.
ment, disposition, and nature are no
bar to the most delightful and enduring
friendship, unless in one person or the
other there are positive vices OF selfish

true and honorable bond with any be-

piers have urged man and woman to
perpetuate and perfect their union by
mutual and persistent devotion toward
each other. But DIR. Dix has directly
discouraged this in nearly all of his lee

probation, or at least susI icion, Of mod

talk, his criticism Of women who are
not content TO be hOusekeepers aud
nurses are nothing more, are all calcu-
lated to make women the interiors Of
their husbands, and consequently, TO a
great degree uncompanionabe. The
lecturer might justly have given his
male parishlOners, respectable and 9TH

of many of them is to devote
the better part of the day to business,
and most of the remainder to their
male acquaintance, and only their stu

A RESCUE, LOVE, MARRIAGE.

Richmond Va, Letter in Washington CAPITOL
A little circumstance happened here
last fall that bore great ISSUE. A triile as
light as air,yct it made man and wo.
man meet who but for this episode would
never have known each other. AS it is
society talk, of course every one knows
il, and | will narrate it just To show
what inconsiderable events, which
some call chance and others fate, shape
our lives. a large drove of mules
Just after dark, was taken from the
cars of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road and cerralei, but something stamp
cded them and they dashed up the
street, half hundred or so, withall the
gathering and fire of squadron of
cavalry at full charge. Pedestrians
Rugged the sidewalk or hurried into
the nearest open door and then looked
pantingly at the dim, rushing mass.
Now, it happened that young lady
from Boston, Mass, who was on visit
here, was coming from friends house,
and just as she was crossing the street
the head of the column came toward
her with the velocity of an express
train on down grade. 1t was so sud.
den that her presence of mind failed
her, and she stood directly in the path
way ofthe advancing drove. A thrill
ing tableau it must have been. She
clasped her hands and the light of the
lamps showed her dilated eyes and
rigid figure. A dreadful death seemed
inevitable, when gentleman passing
by, with valise in his hand, saw her.
Like a flash he was by her side, and,
swinging her with rapid motion to
him, he carried her to the sidewalk just
as the laundering mass passed by in the
darkness. The danger was over, but
she was too unnerved to continue her
way He offered his arm and together
they proceeded to her house. She
thanked her deliverer. He presented his
card-Louis Shearer, West Point, Miss.
He had Just arrived on the Chesapeake
and Railroad and was on his way to
the Southern train when the vision
met his eye. He asked her name.
"Miss Alice Beauchamp," she answer
ed. Mr.. Shearer did not go on his
Southern trip that night, nor the next
and so-and so-wcll, the same old
story. When the roses bloom in bleak
New England then will be heard the
sound of the bells, and the Southern
palmetto and the Northern pine, en-
twiued, will adOrn the altar.

FATE OF AARON -BURR'S DAUGHTER.
Cniodoo Times.

Chicago Times.
An old resident of Washington said
in q recent conversation; "The fate OF
Tbeodosia, the beautiful daughter OF
Aaron Burr, has been one OF the APP
palling mysteries of sudden disappear
ances ut sea. She was married to Gov
ernor Allston Of South Carolina,
name distinguished in the annals OF
that State. She sailed from Charles
ton for New York in the ship Patriot
on December 20, 1872, on visit to her
father. The vessel was supposed to
have been either epgulted or captured
by pirates, for 1t was thought that no
soulhad survived to determine the aw-
full doubt as to its fate or that OF its pas
sengers. One account particularly ar
rested public attention, and that was
tie pUrrorted confession OF pirate,
Denpick You, which Charles Gsyarte
incorpcrattd into his brilliant, rom<u-
tic, pbilosophic Ferdinand de 1amos."
1t is 20 graphically drawn that many
persons thought at last that the fate OF
Aaron Burr's only daughter was known.
An old sailer named Benjamin F. Bur
dick died recently bauper in Michi.
gan poorhouse. On his deathbed he
made the startling confession that he
was one of the piratical crew that cap
tured vessel named the Patriot and
participated in the murder OF TheOdosia
AllstOn at sea; indeed he declared that
it fell to his lot to pull the plank from
under her. She came forth arrayed In
white, holding a Bible in one hand, and
with hereto mien took her place on the
slender instrument of death, and with
out shudder or culver ola muscle was
precipitated into the waves. The noble,
unblanched face, the erect airy form,
he said, had haunted him all his sub.
sequent life. The date Of the vessels
loss, January, 1918, was correctly given
by Burdick, and the name Odessa"
Burr Allston was the only error; and
vet this was not ON error, for the name
of both father and husband are sulfi.
cient identification. The corruption of
Theodosia into "Odessa" would be
natural to an ignorant sailor, and, If
anything, tend to prove that he had
not been reading up to make himself a
sort ola deathbed hero. AT any rate
the confession is plausible, for the rea.

Hawahlin Lcpers.

The Honolulu Advertiser, speaking
of the removal of the lepers to MOlokail,
says: FIFTY lepers having been draft
ed out of the branch hospital, were
placed on board the steamer MOkOkail
and departed for the leper settlement on
MOlOkail This departure OF this band
of unfOrtunates was attended with no
incident worthy of mention. The Sec
rotary of the board of health and the
steward of the branch hospital superiI-
tended the departure, which took
place very quietly and orderly. The
president of the board of health arrived
at the moment of departure and bid an
aloha to the patient and accomplishing
sufferers going away to their last home
on Molokail. 1t occurs to us in connec-
ton with this removal of people separ-
ated from their families and friends
forever, that, perhaps, with no other
race of men could regulations so severe
and painful to human nature be carried
out, as with our w-abiding Hawaiians.
1t must not be said that they are in
different TO their own fate or to the fate
of their friends. Certainly, their agon-
izing lamentations, and the earnest APP
peals of many of the well to share the
late of the loved ones that are doomed,
would prove to the contrary. This
leper misfortune proves the emineutly
d0cile, obedient, and law abiding char
acter of Hawaiians. Surely such people
are calculated to INSPIRE the most earnest
efforts of the philanthropistS of all races
TO save them from decline and eXtinc-
ton, and we trust that in time faithful
researches i'm accordance with the most
advanced knowledge of medical science
will contribute to the physical saliva
ton of the Hawaiian race"

Cleopatra.
Beneath a glorious light tn at foudly lies
ON ruined temple and wide sweeping sand,
The Nile, gold-fretted, fingers through the

Once, long ago, your eager, hungry eyes,
With youths glad wonder, sought the purple
skies
Across the fields where graceful palm trees
stand.
Ana saw the Pyramids, supsrbly grand,
Silent and massive, from the desert rise.
Then mighty fleets, alight with cleaning
steel,
And veteran legions rich in wealth OF scars.
Were freely offered for your rapiurous
kiss;
Your Turing smiles made esrths vast empires
reel.
And when your eyes shone out like cIoud-
set starS,
Heaven had no light that oould make

ZepObid.

ZepObid.
The tawny sands grit high thy ruined fanes,
Bronzed with the hot suns burning, torrid
gold;
And lonely are the courts once wont 70 hold
The wise and brave held in thy beauty's
chains
Where orchards bloomed, the sterile, thirsty
plains,
For countless leagues in weary sameness
rolled,
Sweep Wild and deSolste. The deserts fold
Now hides the glory of thy fair domains.
Yet thou in memory b asst holy place,
And kindly have the hard years dealt with
thee,
While making havoc in this earthly
homes
In cherished dreams we see thy noble face,
Fair as the Greclsn goddess OF The sea,
And grand with fire that dared the power
Of Rome.

indicated an average cost of about sixty
cents a bushel, the value Of all the labor,
including the land owners, being includ-
ed BY that cost. The wheat grown in North
erp Dakota is spring wheat. The variety
most commonly used for seed is the Scotch
Fife. The great general excellence Of pro-
iuctien Is evidenced by the fact that usu-
ally considerably the larger per cent. OF
wheat grown in Northern Dakota grades in
the market as mo. Hard" In sons
wears the proportion has been as high as
* per cent. of the entire crop.
That grade commands about ten per
cent higher price in the market than
the No, , Spring Of the Chicago Board OF
Trade. The price received by the pro-
ducer at the stations along the line OF the
Northern Pacific has usually been from
eighty TO ninety cents per buShei. ihe
cop of some seasons brings higher price,
for that of 1881 the farmers received from
