Naral Academx Rin-of-Fare.

A prying newspaper correspondent has
discovered that the Annapolis cadets are
tired of duff. Duff is of three kinds :
rice duff. that Is, of course, rice pudding;
bread duff and plum duff. The last is q
mass of odds and ends, called "plumduf
becau e the pudding has no plums in it
Once in a while the cook by mistake
drops in raisen, and these rare occasions
are made the excuse for joliflcation on
the part of the surprised cadets. The
man who captures the raisIn carefully
places it on the end of his spoon and calls
out ''Raisin for the table. This call
never fails 10 cause a sudden stop In the
rattle of cutlery, and the cadets peer at
the raisin and then sigh as they see II
disappear into the mouth of the fortunate
discover.

Women find sea of trouble in their
housekeeping. Some one says they often
put as much worry and anxiety into a
loaf of bread, pie, cake, into the
weekly washing and ironing as should
suffice for much weightier matters Sup

io-morrows are coming in which 10 try

ing your own spirit and those around
you, injuriug yourself and them physi.
cally Tor the mind affects the body-aud
for such ttifle. When q thing is be-
youd repair, waste no useless regrets over
it and do no idle frettiug. Strive for
that serenity of spirit that will enable
YOU to make the best of all things. That
means contentmeut in lis best sense.

manifestations of the traits referred to?
Let us look at some Of the later
branches of this stock. III 1880, Will
liam Henry Harrison, grandfather Of
the Republican candidate, was appoint
ed Governor of Indiana Territory, a
part of the region as to which the great
Ordinance Of 1887 had provided that
there shall be neither slavery nor in
voluntary seryitude in The said terri
tory otherwise than in the punishment
of crimes whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted" In the autumn OF
1902 Governor Harrison called a conven
ton at VincenDes ''to consider the tx
pediency Of admitting slavery into the
territory" and was elected to this con-
vention and made president of il. This
convention petitioned Congress to sus-
pend the slavery prohibition for ten
years, and also recommended William
Henry Harrison for reappoiDtnent;
but the comulittee of Congress to which
the petition was referred, headed by
John Randolph Of Virginia, refused to
allow this great wrong. (Dunn's "ln
diana,'' il Am erican Commonwealth
series, PIP. 302-35s.} From this time on,
Governor Harrison was the recognized
head of the pro-slavery party in IDdi
