He Was Consolable.

In the course of a recent charming
paper on Lowell before woman's club
Miss Susan Hayes Ward included q
story of the poet essayist which, to her
knowledge, had not been in print. 1t
was in reference to Mr.. Lowell's second
marriage. At the time when rumors of
the event became current among his
friends one of them, stanch admirer
of the first Mrs. Lowell and firm be-
lever in her husbands permanent wild
owhood, took it ur>n herself to deny
the gossip every time it met her.
Finally, however, the announcement
came to her from such extremely good
authority that her faith was shaken.
She wrote frankly to MI. Lowell that
she had heard the reports and persist
emily denied them, but now began to
doubt her right to do SO. She begged
him to let her know the true state OF
affairs, whether she was to believe him
a never-to- be-consoled husband, or, after
all, Just like any other man."
The answer was prompt and brief:
Dear Madam: Yours, like any othe.

Marriage of Capt. George Earle and
Florence Fair, daughter of a southern
planter She read no farther. She
had known of his anticipated promo
ton, SO that Capt. George Earle" was
her lover. 1t could be no other. Fold
ing the paper, she laid it on the smoul-
dering Goals in the CRATE, took from the
drawer of her desk a neat packet of
letters-his letters-and added them to
the flame. She also unlocked casket
and was about to added it's contents to
the sacriticial fires, but her courage
failed her, and the shriveled sweet
syringa blooms were the one thing she
spared herself as relic. Those fragrant
blossoms he had twined in her hair so
long ago! Not yet two years, but to her
it seemed very long ago.
When the fire had died out, all the
softness had gone out of her heart; her
eyes had lost their wonted radiance and
a curve of scorn seemed to have nodded
her lips anew. The house that had been
her home was closed, it's owner having
died, and Anna had boarded since with
strangers. Now she bade adieu to
friends, and went-no one knew with
err, but she went abroad.
Twenty years later and there would
be many changes to note, should we
stop to note them. Anna Brown is visit
ing an old school friend, whom she
found in an unexpected retreat soon
after her return from foreign shores.
Out of courtesy to her friend, she is
among those who have assembled to
decorate the graves of the fallen SOL
diers, to lay above their dust the tokens
of grateful people.
But did you notice? While the speak
err dwelt on the bravery and faithful
ness Of the sleeping, while he referred
gratefully to their self-sacrificing devo-
ton to their country and their loved
ones, while he paid glowing tribute
to their loyalty, not to country only, but
to parents, wives, sisters and sweet
hearts, till tears came to the eyes of
many. her eyes were dry and held a
look of skeptical hardness, and the de-
risive smile of scorn came again to the
naughty lips. Small wonder to us who
know her past, for do we not all meas
ure all people by our estimate of those
with whom we have been brought into
personal relations?
Later she accompanied her friend to
their family lot in the cemetery.
whittier she carried two beautiful
wreaths, which, she explained to Anna
as they went, were for the graves Of
her brother and comrade of his, who
slept beside him. They were devoted
friends, and this one died after long
illness, and as he had no friends to care
for his body, her brother had requested
it's burial in their lot. And in less
time than he dreamed Of" said the SIS
ter, ''he was lying beside him."

THE BLUE AND The GRAY.
Under the daisies and soft waving grass,
Robing in beauty the place where they lay,
Down in the valley, the long narrow pass,
Calmly are resting the blue and the gray.
Sabred to death in the fierce strife of war,
Foemen no longer, they sleep side by side.
Passions wild tumult no longer a bar,
Death has united whom life did divide
Trumpets NAV blare and the cannon may roar,
Armies may shake the firm earth with their
tread,
Nothing shall mar or disturb evermore
The peace that is theirs in their lone, silent
bed
Cover with garlands where quiet they lay,
Sunlight fall brightly, and breezes soft blow;
Question not whether they wore blue or gray,
Question not whether they were friend or foe.
Life has it's errors, as ocean its gales
Tempests Of passion which die while they
live:
Charity pleads that we draw close the veil
Father forgive, as we even forgive.
Softly may summer winds blow DER their
grave,
Gently the autumn leaves fall on their sod;
Whether they cover the blue or the gray;
Over both watches the same loving God
Prayers for the living-a flower for the dead;
Charity may not and would not do less;
Leave them to rest in their lone, narrow bed:
God knoweth all-in His love may He bless

An unweIooma Visitor.

The farmers OF Illinois are beginning
to feel apprehensive OF visitation OF
the destructive army worm (leucania

put in an appearancein field OF oats
in the vicinity OF Champaign, and a
note OF warning has been sent out
by the State Entomologist, recon-.
mending farmers to be on the watch
for it. The last appearance OF the
dreaded insect in Illinois was in 1888,
when considerable damage was done,
though not so great as two years be-
fore, when the oat crop of the State
was damaged to the extent OF nearly
million dollars.
The army worm an omnivorous
devourer OF vegetables when abund-
ant, it's preference being for small
grains, corn and all grass plants. 1t
appears suddenly in overwhelming
numbers, and marches straight on,
like an army, devouring all before it,
and leaving a barren waste behind.
Only combined effort can stay its
progress, and farmers should "lend a
hand" to crush it out as soon as its
presence is discovered. 1t is to be
hoped that timely preventive mea-
sures will be taken in illinois.

CARLISLE CORNERED.
WAGES IN THE COTTON MILLS
AT FALL River.
The Mckinley Tariff siIi had the Effect
of Raising Wages While at the Sane
Time tho Consumer is Getting the
Benefit of Lower Prices.

! Senator Carlisle. in reply to Senator
( highly protected industries" wage.
had fallen since the passage of tn,
Mckinley act ''an average of $1,000 Of
per cent" Among the protected
industries named by him was cotton
manufactures. Now, Fall River is the
: largest cotton manufacturing center
in the United States. If there has been
any reduction of wages in the cotton
mills the operatives employed in this
town are not aware of it, says Fall
River correspondent.
There are in Fail River sixty-seven
factories, nearly all of them being cot
ton mills. with STAG looms and 2. 400, :
900 spind'es. These mills use 260 800
bales of cotton annually. For the
operatives there is a payroll of sl5i,-
55j weekly, or IS, 034, POO annually.
About S22, 1913, 600 has been invested in
the mills. FAN River produces in the
course of year cotton goods worth
sci 100000 1t manufactures annually
GO2. SjO.O yards of cloth The city
contains ouc-siXth of all the spindlcs
in the United States and manufactures
over two-thirds of the domestic print
cloths. If the chief industry of such
city, employing 22,TS men and women
in its mills, were depressed and its mill
hands suffering from a reduction of
wages and an increase in the cost of
living. as Senator Carlisle asserts, there
would naturally be outward signs Of
the prevailing distress. The most in
dustrious and fanatical tariff reformcr
will fail to find here any indications of
that sort. All the superficial evidence
points in the opposite direction. The
mill operatives are well paid and pros
porous. and instead of having had their
wages reduced have virtually had
them advanced within a month. The
mills are in full operation and their
owners are enjoying exceptional pros
perity.
The manufacturing business of the
city is expanding under the influence
of the Mckinley tariff. Investors are
building new mills and increasing the
number of their spind'es. The only
dark cloud in the Fall River Sky is the
avowcd determination of the Demo-
cratic party TO sweep away the Ameri-
can protective system and to substitute
