The Story of "Maud."

Few people knew Tennyson and his
peculiarities better than did his neigh
Dor Mrs. Cameron, the well known pho
tographic artist, who made n fine series
of character portraits by photography
to illustrate Tennyson's poems. Tbs
history of her search for and selection
of models for these characters is inter
esting. Maud was n starving Irish girl,
who served her both as model and wait
ing maid.

erons Maudis 100 pretty not to be given.
When Mrs. Cameron held her exhibit
ton in London, Maud was sent up with
a chaperon to explain the pictures to the
public. A gentleman came in one day,
and after having asked several ques-
lions left. \ year or two afterward he
passed into the Indian civil service, but
before starting for the east he went
down to Freshwater and knocked at
Mrs. Cameron's door, begging for Maud's
hand. The beautiful Maud was willing.

OUR BOARD OF TRADE.

When the regular meeting of the
Great Falls board of trade was called tt
order yesterday there was scarcely {
quorum present, and President Harris
was obliged to go out and bring in &
member before the business of the meet
ing could be proceeded with.
AS it is more than ever essential that
the members of the board should attend
it's meetings a resolution was passed fix.
ing the hour at 4 o'clock every Wednes.
day, and an executive committee was
appointed to rouse the interest aud
emulation of the membership, and to
provide WAYS and means for the employ
ment of an efficient secretary. Many
members have been prevented from at
tending the meetings of the board by
the variation and uncertainty of the
hour of meeting, so that a permanent
arrangement on this point cannot fail to
have a good effect. Whatever other
causes may exist, whether real or imag-
mary, for lukewarmness, it is devoutly
to be wished that members will appre-
ciate the necessity of giving proper at
tention to their duties in this connection,
as there is, in fact, no part of their daily
business that is of more Importance to
themselves and the community in gen.
eral.
No man should nominally join the
board of trade who does not at the same
time resolve in his own mind to attend
to the affairs entailed by this act. Or
gdnized, persistent and united effort
only can result in making the city and
Its tributary country known to the out
side world, and the board of trade is
confidently looked to for such effort. 1t
should, therefore, be a pleasure for every
member to be present at each meeting,
to take part in the deliberations, and to
exchange views freely with brother
members. There is no earthly reason
why a full attendance should not be had
each meeting, unless there are men,
on the roll who are utterly inditfer-
TO the welfare Of the city, and who
,annot see into the future further than
length of their own noses.
The board of trade is the non partisan,
lnsectarian conservator of the public
interests and ought to command the
hearty support of every citizen, but how
IAN its power and usefulness be extend
ID if its W members are remiss in their
to it:

A FAIR ATTORNEY.

Alasi the wCrld has gone awry
Since Cousin Lillian entered college,
For she has grown so learned
Oft tremble at her wondrous knowledge,
Whenever | dare to WOO her now
She frown that l should so annoy her,
And then proclaims, with lofty brow,
Her mission is to be n lawyer.
Life glides no more on golden wings,
A sunny waif from Ell Dorado:
I've learnc' how true the poet sings,
That coming sorrow casts its shadow.
When tutti frutti lost its spell
felt some hidden grief impended;
When she declined q caramel
knew my rosy dream had ended.
She paints no more on china plaques,
With tints that would have crazed Murillo,
Strange birds that never plumed their backs
When Father Noah braved the billow,
Her fancy limns, with brighter blush,
The splendid triumphs that await her,
When in the court a breathless hush
Gives homage to the queen debater,
IT'S sad to meet such crushing noes
From eyes as blue as Scottish heather;
IT'S sad q maid with cheeks of rose
Should have her heart bound up in leather;
Ills sad to keep ones passion pent, I
Though Pallas' arms the fair environ;
But worse to have her quoting Kent |
When one is fondly breathing Byron.
When Lillian is licensed at the law
Her fame, be sure, will live forever; /
No barrister will pick a flaw ,
In logic so extremely clever;
The sheriff will forget his nap 3
To feast upon the lovely vision,
And cen the judge will set his cap
AT her and dream of love Elysian. ,

A SPECIAL despatch from Tacoma says
that the democratic society of Washing
ton will hold its annual meeting at New
Whatcom in the fall, and that the chief
speaker on the occasion will be Senator
d. B. Hill Of New York. In conclusion
the despatch says significantly: "This
trip, it is said, will mark the beginning
Of Senator Hills presidential boom for
the campaign Of 1896" Now, if Mr.. Hill
starts out thus early on such a quest, he
will be astounded to find what a small
man he is. Mr.. Hill is a good enough
machine democrat for the state of New
York, but he will stand no more chance
OF a nomination for the presidency than
some obscure henchman of his in Tam
many Hall. In the regular line of sue
cession to the presidency stands Walter
Q. Gresham, and it would not be rash to
predict his election at this time. The
country wants better men, not worse
ones.

Sir Walter Scott is an example of q
great man, who, so far as we can judge,
enjoyed paying the penalties of his
greatness, even in his hour of death. He
was great enough, but then he was that
kind of a man, and the circumstances
among which he lived were favorable.
That was before the day of the penny
post, of the electric telegraph, of rail
ways and of the interviewer, and in his
prime he lived at Abbotsford, which is
equivalent nowadays to saying that he
lived at Joppa. He seems to have been
s%ingularly free from the penalties Of
greatness, which have enormously in
creased since the Wizard of the North
went home, and such of them as came
in his way he seems to have heartily en-
joyed.
He appears now and then to have
relished being turned into a rare show,
and to being pointed at wherever he
went rs Walter Scott. Indeed this be-
ing pointed at seems to have been rel
ished by many men whose greatness was
u%ndoubted. Thackeray seems some
times almost to have resented not being
pointed at.--All the Year Round.

his determination to make the commit

SILVER FOR COINAGE r.,

"A correspondent of the New York
World discusses the parity of gold and
silver, and makes this proposition:
Let the United States establish by law
as the unit of value the silver dollar at
4l2.5 grains nine-tenths tine. Let the
government determine each census year
the relative value of gold and silver IN
the markets of the world, after exanina-
ton of the market in London, Paris,
Berlin, Vienna and IN other places. in
the discretion of the secretary of the
treasury. Let all gold dollars and null
tiples thereof be coined in accordance
with the ratio thus determined, so that
each dollar shall be equivalent to the
silver dollar of 1925 grains nlne-tenths
tine; provided that no change shall be
made in the weight of the gold dollar,
unless the ratio thus determined shall
show a difference as compared with the
ratio previously established equal to
LOO of the value of a silver dollar of
412.5 grains nine-tenths fine. Let all
dollars issued by the government be re-
ceived as equivalent, but let no gold
coins be issued or paid out after any
census year which have been coined be-
fore that census year, without recoinage
at the ratio determined in that y%ear-all
loss and expense of such coinage falling
upon the government. the agent OF the
whole people. Allow any citizen of the
United States TO have any gold or silver
bullion coined into standard coins OF the
United States upon payment of the ac-
tual cost of such coinage.
This letter shows forth the interest
which the people of the east are begin,
ming to take in the silver question. Tie
World is tooth and nail against silver,
and does not relish the publication of
any facts or arguments in favor of its
coinage as money, but the day is not far
distant when it, like the other goldbugs,
will be compelled to take the pill Of free
coinage whether they like il or not.
The leaven is at work, as shown in this

much longer overridden by any class of
spectators, and the onward march of

In our local columns this morning will
be found a timely interview with a prac-
teal florist and horticulturist on the de-
STABILITY Of identifying the grounds
about our city homes, and the ease with
which crops of vegetables may be grown
in back yards right mere in town. The
improvements suggested would be a boon
to al. residents of the city, and would
add a charm which would do much to
attract strangers. Flowers and lawns
can be grown here as well as anywhere
on earth, and everybody ought to take a
pride in identifying his private grounds.
The cost is only nominal, and those of
ample means might set an example
which would be eagerly followed by all
persons having a degree of taste for the
beautiful. 1t is not necessary for every
body to keep greenhouses to grow flow
ers all the year round, but the humblest
should have some flowers clus-
tered about it in summer, for there is
nothing that has a more refining infiu-
the human mind.

MARY

Many persons who saw Mary Ander
son on the stage are anxious to know
what she is doing in her retirement. A
New York paper supplies these details
concerning her:
Rumor again has it that Mary Ander-
son de Navarro is to publish a memoir
of her public career. 1t is possible, but
not likely. The same report has been
circulated at regular intervals eyer since
her marriage, But she has assured me
that she has no intention of writing A
book, although she has been approached
on the subject by several publishers. 1t
will be very much IN the order Of things
which Mrs. de Navarro has always fol
owed for her not to rush into print. An
American actress. she made a distinct hit
81 the English stage. She married in
the quietest name possible, and mira
bdc dictH' she lives IN the idyllic quiet
Of Tunbridge Wells in as perfect health
and happiness as fall to mortals. Last.
not least. Mrs. de Navarro is still ire
mendously in love with Tony, who. it
must be allowed, is a model husband. I

As Pope Leo XIII cannot be present al

in his W voice by monograph. A
dispatch from Rome says on the subject:
1.-THE pope today committed his voice to
the "a cylinder of a photograph in a
message of good will, said to be designed
for the president of the United States.
Having done this he said to the Ameri.
can who was demonstrating the machine:
i hand you this message. Guard it
carefully, for it is the expression of my
love for all the people of the United
States and l wish you to deliver it with
your own hand to the president The
message was couched in Latin and by
the pope's special request will not be
published before it has been reproduced
in America. The message was repro
duced by the pope's desire, and upon
hearing it he said: 1T is my voice, my
very voice. This is indeed wonderful
He then explained to the members of
his court that his voice would be heard
.ong after his death" This marvellous
'act of modern science was not available

They are making a great fuss down

have been laid away in that narrow
house sixteen hundred years before the
Christian era. That was when c~iviliza-
ton was lighting it's first bright fires in
Egypt. 1t may be that then on this

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
OUR SPRING CAMPAIGN.
r11 FRIDAY, MARCH "a. 1928.

Too much cap hardly be said of tn
Importance of the spring campaign
which is o approaching. 1t is i'm
portant not only because of the absolute
need of a more efficient and busiresslik'
administration but for many special rea
sons.
Men of trained intellects are required
to govern a city well. The truth Of this
proposition has long been recognized. A
city can lose as much through blunder.
ing on the part of her officials as from
their downright dishonesty. with the
additional drawback that a dishonest
official may be brought to punishment,
while a laundering one inficts losses
which must be borne without a murmur.
In the past much loss has been suffer
ed by this city from NAL administration.
Favorites with a pull seem to have
been able to get all they wanted. A lit
tie thing that shows how the wind blows
was the payment by the council on Mon
day evening of 1927 to City Engineer
Morley for surveyors Instruments. 1t
may be deemed necessary by some peo-
pie for the city to go into the surveying
business to this extent. but as a matter
of fact one can hardly see how a surveyor
not properly equipped for his business
can be a suitable man for such an office.
The question arises: Will these instru.
ments continue the property Of the city,
or will Mr.. Morley mark them for his
own? This would be a good thing to
look into.
OAlmost Immediately the, question of
buying the water works will com up for
consideration and action, What are we
going to do about it? 1t is a matter
that Will require some nice judgment
and manipulation. Legal advice of a
superior kline must be sought before any
move is made. and every phase of the
question pro and con must be carefully
and intelligently weighed. AS no one
political party has all the brains or wis
dom III this or any other community, we
suggest now as We have done heretofore,
that this is peculiarly the time for a cit
movement in which all elements
Of the population will take on active
part. and by winch the best men who
an be found will be selected for office. I
The gentlemen having the non partisan .
movement in charge should press for l
ward with their work as fast as possible. |
This week should not be permitted to

mass meeting by which an Independent '
ticket may be placed in the field, Tor it d
nay be set down as a certainty that all v
'arty tickets will be scratched" this L
pring, and the voters will vote only for c
he best men no matter where they find L
