SENATOR HOAR TALKS.

He Discusses the Gubernatorial Oues-

WORCESTER, Mass, Aug. 2O.-Sen ator
Hoar has returned here from Bar Har-
Dor. When asked concerning Mr.. Blaine,
he said: "Mr. Blaine seemed about as he
had for some years past in all respects"
Asked about the State election, he
said: 81 have not taken any part in the
selection of g. candidate for Governor
this fall. While Massachusetts is I'M
doubtedly a Republican State, the con-
dition of the public mind is such that
we must have a very satisfactory candi-
date indeed to bring out the full Repub-
lican strength.
eff our candidate for Governor should
be defeated this year the effect on the
national election in '92 will be very in
furious.
''The choice seems now to be between
two gentlemen, either of whom would
make an admirable Governor. Both Mr..
Grape and Mr.. Allen have served with
distinction in the National House of Rep
resentatives. Mr.. Grape, however, has
been longer in public life than Mr.. Allen
and probably has the larger number OF
friends throughout the Comm onwealth.'

Phases Of the Servant-Girl Problem IN the

of Loves Young Dream.
lCOPYRIGHT. 1911

Methought 1 heard a voice say: For,
oh, there's moo-oo-oo-oo-oonligh on the
la-a-a-a-al1e." They talk everlastingly
about the weather, in the country, and
I suppose it is only natural that, they
should sing about it, but I personally
have never shown interest enough in
the subject to warrant anybody in walk
ing me at midnight for the purpose of
imparting information which belongs to
Uncle Jerry Rusl1 and his signal bureau.
Neither is my backyard a proper place
for discussing meteorological condi-
tions with q c0nccrtina accompaniment.
My first idea on being aroused from
slunber by this unmelodious weather
bulletin was that my neighbour Sidney
Drew, in fit of mental alteration was
sorenading Cousin Nina. I had heard
that this method of testing a young
woman's affection was still employed
n rural districts, and on general prin-

ciplcs I was inclined to approve. Ger
tainly, if a man is forgiven for catawal-
ing under a Iadys window in the dead
of night, he should be able at the next
opportunity to approach the subject of
matrimony with sustaining confidence.
l grasped the first convenient missile
and crept toward the window. If the
midnight visitor proved to be Sydney
and I iplictcd serious injury upon him.
I could swear the next day that I
thought it was somebody else and thus
restore the entente cordiule. My first
glance from the window showed me
that I had grievously wrongcd my
neighbor. There was not so much noon
light in the back yard as the minstrel
had led me to expect, but there was
enough to show me the state of affairs.

(called Nancy by those who did not feel
well enough acquainted with her to
make it Nancc) was the prOvOcatiOn

that she was enjoying it at very close

floor. Nancy and the midnight must

of the back GOorsteps to permit my talk

her; and am too much of a gentleman
to throw u No. shoe at woman.

This is only one Of series of Incl

Maude's cooking. It is valuable disci-
pline. If l should ever be shipwrecl1ed
and forced to drift about in long boat
with nothing to eat but MARINE spikes
or few fathoms of wire back-stay l
should probably survive much longer
than my comrades who had been ham
pered all their lives with hard tack and
salt horse. When we have no girl 1 al
ways think of these things and read
Clark Russell's sea stories.
Cousin Nina Clipped in to help Maude.
Her forte was fancy cooking. She had
a valuable theoretical knowledge of the
subject but she was difident about ac-
lznowledging the practical results.
Nina had been experimenting with
pies for several days, and at last she
had constructed one which on the face
of it answered every requirement of
the cook book. I caught her gazing at
it with honest pride, and 1 heard her
ask N1aude if she didn't think we might
invite Sydney to tea This meant, Of
course, that the pie was to be cut for
Sydncy's especial benefit. When a
young woman begins to acknowledge
a growing interest in young man by
making things for him to eat the affair
takes on a serious aspect-especiallyf for
him.
We asked Sydney over to tea. have
previously introduced him as a polite
young man: and in any case, solf-in-
terest would have urged him to get on
the right side of NEaude in order to Sc
cure her influence with Nsna. He ate
nine of Maude's biscuits. There were
thirteen separate and distinct night
mares in every one Of them. I know,
for I ate two and awolze twenty-six
times in cold perspiration.
Nina's pie came last. She prepared
to cut it with her own fair hands, as
sisted by q knife. AS she laid the
edge of the blade on the pastry she
fixed her eyes tenderly on Sydney and
he returned the glance. I watched the
| knife. Nina sawed few times with
it's edge, but the top crust Of that pie
remained rnscathed. Then she tried

ney noticed that something was the
matter, and he blushed sympathet-
| ically. I tried not to catch Maude S
eye, for laugh at that critical moment
might have sundered two young hearts
| forever.
Meanwhile Nina sawed and stabbed,
and stabbed and sawed, and tried tc
! look as il these were the ordinary for.
malities preliminary to cutting a real
nice pie She offered a few remarks
ON general topics at the same time with
a desire to distract attention from that
mucilaginous upper crust. She asked
Sydney (who sat with his back to tho

French Vessels To-day.
LONDON, Aug. 2O-The cordial recep-
ton extended to the officers of the French
feet shows that England is going to
steer clear of the Franco German quarrel.
To-day the Queen, accompanied by
the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of
Connaught, inspected the French YES
sells in Osborne Bay, and in the even
ing Admiral Gervais and a number of
the officers of the squadron will dine
with her Majesty at Osborne.
Portsmouth is thronged with visitors,
and both the authorities and the people
of the town, who have pleasant recollec-
tions of the last visit of the French fleet
to the town, in 1865, are anxious to make
the visitors happy. No effort is spared
by the Mayor to show the thoroughness
of his welcome, and many men are en-
ployed in pre- parations for the civic en-
tertainment, the Town Council having
voted large sum 30 assist the Mayor in
meeting the expenses.
While the reception of the French feet
is likely to be a cordial and hospita BILE
one, there will be nothing like the al
most frantic enthusiasm of the Russia n
visit, SO that Admiral Gervais WILL it is
expected, have no emb trrassing explain
ations to make for the benefit of the
Gar. Tie Russian press has already de-
clared that the visit will make no differ
ence in the relations between France and
Russia.
