Her One Wish.

Most people who 60 to Europe have
their minds set upon at least one
place or thing which they are partic-
ularly anxious to see. This was the
case with philanthropic spinster
who had lived in Boston for nearly
sixty years. She was to make her
first trip abroad with her brothers
family.
Her sister-in-law and her nieces
ere mapping out the route for the
siA months travel, and presently one
of them said to her, "Now, you must
tell where you want to go, Aunt Mar
tina; we're all choosing our favoritc
places; you see."
"Ive heard you all agree on Italy"
replied Aunt Martha, "and that's the
only country / have any special desire
to visit"
@Why, how nice!" said the niece, in
tone of pleased surprise. "We were
talking it over the other day, and
mamma said she was afraid you
wouldn't care to go to Italy. You're
SO fastidious; and though Italy is
lovely, of course there are drawbacks,
you KNOW.
Il presume there are drawbacks,
said Miss Martha, shivering little.
AI'ye heard of them. But you
mustn't think l want to be sitting
about on cathedral steps or damp
walls, my dear. All wish is to see
some organ-grinders in their native
land. That has been my desire for a
good many years. The men We see
here look SO poor and ill-fed!
Il thought, perhaps, added Miss
Martha, "if / could learn enough
Italian to make myself understood
by those men, it would be good
thing for me 10, advise them not to
come to America"
Il think it would" said her listen
ers in chorus. But Miss Martha never

1t is within the range Of possibilities that
the withdrawal OF DR.. &. W. Macune from
the National Farmers Alliance means an
attempt at organizing an opposition politico-
agricultural order. That Macune has a
considerable following was shown by the
number Of delegates favoring the memorial
expressing confidence in him. which was
spread upon the minutes Of the meeting at
Memphis after be had been defeated for
president of the order and attacked by Con-
gresham Otis. Ben Terrell estimated the
number Of Macuue's followers in the south
ct $4,000. As his future depends, ap-
parsntly. upon the number Of subscribers
TO his paper that he may be able to secure
and retain. he may try to organize his
friends into a separate Farmers order
Otis, it will be noted, spoke for the west as
against the south, so it may be that what
remains Of the national alliance will be di-
vided on sectional lines. However, it is
pretty hard to guess what the alliance poo
pie are going to do. The leaders on each
side are in the order for personal gain, and
will take such steps as they judge will net
them the best results.
