If the proposed Fourth Assistant
PosUmasterGeneral should be given the
job ofkeeping James G. Blaine's letters
out of the mails. he will be of vast service
to the party.-Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal
The subsidy bill and the McKin.
ley bill go hand in hand. 1t is the OBJ
ject of the latter to give our ships moth
ing to carry. 1t is the object of the
former to pay them for carrying it
Boston Post.
Even the most reckless and OBJ
fuse of the Republican members of Con-
gress should begin to understand by
this time that the party in its manage
ment of the fiscal affairs of the Nation
is pressing perilously close to the dan
ger line.-St. Louis Globe Democrat
Rep.).
Mr.. Harrison's friends assert that
he has paid for the house and lot pre-
scented to Mrs. Harrison by the Cape
May Point syndicate. The country will
be glad to believe it. 1t will be appro-
pirate, however. to put in evidence the
check with the dates of its drafting and
presentation for payment plainly leg
ible.-St. Louis Republic.
True, the Republican majority at
Washington has done nothing for tenn
perance, has not even passed the anti
original package bill; but it has got rid
of the surplus, and that in little over
a year. How foolish President Cleve-
land was to worry his head over such
little matter as surplus! Henceforth
it is not a theory, nor a condition, but
a fact that will confront the public
n. Y. Voice (Prohi bition Organ).
The Behring sea dispute should
be at once arbitrated. 1t need not be
assumed that Mr.. Blaine has the Grim
inal purpose of using this paltry dis
pute to force war which would be
calamity to both countries and to civil
liza ton, but if the dispute is continued,
an accident is liable to occur at any
time to make war unavoidable. The
matter must not drag farther. Let it
be arbitrated and settled at once.-St
Louis Republic.

her head rested confdingly on his man.

youthful pair, and not visible cloud
obscured the bright armament of their
hopes
''Perseus," she murmured, sit seems
almost incredible that we never met
until three weeks ago."
''It does, indeed, Andromeda," re-
piled the youth. ''We have had hardly
others views of life and it's problems,
not to speak of each others peculiar
tiles and prejudices. Yet it seems as
if we must have known one another al

your opinion of theosophy."
MY opinion of theosophy, love- the
young man said, breaking it to her as
gently as he could, sis that the system
as thus far developed hardly meets the
requirements of an exact science
It was a severe shock, but the maiden
did not finch. She only leaned little
harder on the young mans shoulder.
You find much to admire in Emerson
and Thoreau, do you not?" She asked
hopefully.

thing, suitabl for twelve-year-old school
girls who have no roller-skating facil-

SWELL, Perseus," she said, with
happy sigh, what difference does it
make after all if we love each other?
These little differences of opinion shall
not separate u.s."
mo. Andromeda, they shall not. We
will not speak of them. They are
trifles. Look at the roses in this beau
tiful vase
A cry of horror broke from the lips of
Andromeda. She sprang from his en-
brace
What is the matter, dearest?" ex-
claimed the young man, with the ut
most concern.

silence which followed was due perhaps
to profound speculation on the mystic
rious part of it. A familiar signal from
without diverted attention to a small
but heavily-barred postern door, which
being cautiously opened gave admit
lance to the subject of Jabe's story-the
half-breed boy-on whom all eyes were
turned with an awakened curiosity. His
1.-the and graceful form, set off to adj
vantage by the green hunting shirt and
leggings of the rangers, was surmount-
ed by head resem bling those Italian
studies SO familiar to the public of the
present day-the dark hair descending to-
the shoulder, framing face of oval form
and olive coloring, small red lips and
flashing black eyes; his age might be
seventeen, his height below the stand
ard. With a glance and a smile of salu-
tation to the inmates, he went straight
to Jabe and gave him slip of paper on
which few lines were written. The
ranger glanced over it, and handing the
sleeping child to his life, whispered in

trading post and refuge for the settlers
of the region when threatened by saw
ages.
The union jack of England floated
over the stone structure, and the can
non grizzly pointing from its walls, the
measured tramp of sentinels, attested
the vigilance of the garrison. 1t was
the spring of the year, and a cold wind
blew over the lake. pili.g the cakes of
Ice on top of each other with monotonous
and grating sound; and the forest, which
stood in a wide semicircle behind the
forts, was still bare of leaf and blossom
On the beach in front of the fort two
young men were standing, one of whom
carried a musket on his shoulder; at
his feet lay half a dozen canvas back
ducks
Apparently in answer to remark of
his companion he said: Il beg pardon,
Colonel, but surely the monotony of gar
rison duty in wilderness like this
might excuse little temerity, as you
call it, and you yourself could not object
to yenison steak or nicely-cool1ed
duck, just to vary the vulgar menu of
salt pork or beef. Believe me, / have
taken greater risks for less satisfactory
results"

hand to long triangular line of emf

MERGERS quick eye perceived some
thing which the more eager sportsman
failed to note--one of the birds, appar
emily more exhausted than his fellows
and far behind the line, yet striving to
overtake it and sinking lower as he
came on.
With short, plaintive cries and heavy
Tapping of wings the flock passed over
head. A sharp report, and one came
whirling down.
''See, Marden," said Mercer, pointing
to the bird which first attracted his at
tention and which now came futtering
helplessly to earth, displaying an arrow
sticking in it's breast, ''the redskin who
sped that shaft is not far off. for the
bird could not have flown far with such
a wound"

the fort, with Puritan solemnity. ''Our

LET us be thankful, however, that
the Mingo's arrow has given warning of
his presence and added a fat goose to

Marden, cheerfully.
The drums beat for parade and drill,
and the soldiers of New England began
to form by companies on the level
ground in front of the fort.

Fine Irish point lace. in pure white
and pale beige tints, is made use of for
bonnets for evening drives and is also
much used on sailor and garden party

Among the expensive waistcoats worn
with rich white cloth Blazers are those
of bright yellow faille striped with
diagonal bands of black velvet, red
Victoria silk models sprayed with very
small white flowers pale-green silk gill

of pure white silk embroidery.
A charming toilet. recently worn at
fashionable garden fete, was of white
foulard, with a broad rose-pink stripe
in it, and a delicate and beautifully
shaded Towering of pink roses between
the stripes. The bodice had shoulder
puffs and yoke of strawberry silk with
rich lace points over the yoke. A Cor

gold passementerie, and from this col

A pointed girdle of the gold garniture
finished the bodice at the waist.
A Directoire coat to be worn over

Also for strong, serviceable wear are
used the gloves of real Russia leather
