A womnn's Apt Reply to Mr.. Cleveland.

A woman's Apt Reply to Mr.. Cleveland.
1t was during Cleveland's first incum-
bency. The daughter Of lawyer prom
inent in neighboring Kansas town had
married an officer who few months
after the ceremony had been detailed to
remote post. The young wife, who
had enjoyed u sort of belleship in the
semimetropolitan community in which
she had been reared, felt as If she were
about to be buried alive. Encouraged
by her husband and father, she repaired
to Washington to seek reprieve at head
quarters.

good detail, isn't it?" asked the president,
to whom the lady had stated her case.

Shouldn't we try to be satisfied where
we are?" continued the chief magistrate,
with patronizing smile.
"You might have been satisfied with
being sheriff at Buffalo, but you wanted
to be the president of the United States"
came the pert retort.
Mr.. Cleveland arose with the same
patriarchal smile on his face, but the
lieutenant's wife is still at Fort Riley

Notice is served in The Christian
Union of the impending trial Of an elee-
mosynary experiment which has long
been discussed and is of unusual inter
est. In August or September the Peo-
pies Bank association hopes to open the
first of several model pawn offices for
the poor. The newspapers abound
from day to day with stories telling
how hard it is for the very poor to bor-
row indispensable small sums of money
and what exorbitant rates of interest
are exacted for such loans. The legal
rate at pawnshops is Q per cent month
for the first six months and per cent
q month for succeeding months, but
most pawnbrokers supplement these
rates by charges for care of the articles
pawned, so that as much rs 800 per cent
per annum is something paid to them
for the use of money.
The Peoples Bank association pro.
poses to begin by charge Of per cent.
a month and expects to start with $780,
900 capital, which is to earn per cent
dividends for its owners. The success
of such a movement seems to depend
simply on the shrewdness Of the money
lender employed. With the right man
in the avuncular situatio,. there seems
to be no inevitable obstacle to the sue
cess of plan which, if it does succeed,
seems bound to help the right people at
the right time. Plans for the relief of
pawnbrokers who succumb to competi-
tion can be devised later ON if they are
needed.-Harper's Weekly.

danced that night, meriendaed and
danced again, a siesta in the afternoon,
few hours sleep in the night refresh
ing us all. Chonita alone looked pale,
but knew that her pallor was not due
to WEAKNESS. And knew that she was
beginning to fear Estenega; the time
was almost come when she would fear
herself more. Estenega had several talks
apart with her. He managed it without
any apparent maneuvering, but he al
ways had the DEVILS methods. Valencia
avenged herself by flirting desperately
with Reinaldo, and Prudencias honey
moon was seasoned with gall.
On Saturday night Chonita stole from
her guests, donned a black gown and
reboso, and, attended by two Indian
servants, went up to the mission to con-
fession. AS she left the church half
hour later and came down the steps
Estenega rose from bench beneath the
arches of the corridor.

Chonita stood grasping the back of

sign of emotion she betrayed. She knew
that what he said was true; that Es-
tenega, for public and personal reasons,
never would let him go to Mexico; he
would permit no enemy at court. But
