There was little need for Margie to
tell how bitterly she had repented Of
her hasty, careless words. Seated be-
side his grave-as she thought-en-
gagged as she had been, was enough for
MILFORD, whose heart had never ceased
to hunger for her love. Everything
was talked over hurriedly and explana-
tons made. MILFORD could hardly tell
how he had escaped He had been
blown some distance and stunned.
When consciousness returned he found
himself again in thehands of the
enemy, but his imprisonment did not
last long. The war was at an end and
he was discharged, but he had no desire
to get home. He wandered out west,
but had little heart to work, even for
a living. One day he heard from Elm
wood and learned the property he had
left there had grown to be very valu-
able and he felt it duty to 60 and
settle up his affairs in that regard. He
had only arrived on Decoration day and
had followed the people to the GENE
terry. He had watched Margie, whom
he knew at once, and when alone he
approached her. He saw the. name on
the slab, and sad as it was he could not
help smiling, knowing that some error
had been made. He spoke of all the
flowers she must have wasted in years
past.
"Wasted, MILFORD, wasted?" said
Margie; mo indeed; it was a soldiers

Was in Chapel on Time.

About the year 81 when Prof. Tucker,
formerly of Bowdoin college, was
Tutor Tucker at that institution, the
bell rang for prayers at the chapel, as
now, very early in the morning. and it
was imperative upon tutors and pupils
to respond. AS tutor Mr.. Tucker was
very popular, although very strict, and
was always prompt to take his place at
the head of his class at the early morn
ing devotions. One morning, however,
he found his clothing gore and his door
nailed, while the bell was ringing
Finding a Ratchet he soon split the door
down, and at the last stroke of the bell
appeared clothed in his shirt and pair
of overalls, barefooted, but with a
smile of serenity on his expressive
countenance. He look his customary
place, and neither then nor afterward
were words of complaint heard from
him.-POrtland Transcript

SUNDRY ADMISSIONS.
Points Upon Which the New Administra'
ton Has Become Enlightened.

Points Upon which the New Administra.
ton Has Become Enlightened.
1t has not taken two months of dem.
ocratic administration to elicit certain
interesting admissions. Let them be
recorded for future instruction. and
compared with the charges made by the
democratic party when it was out and
wanted to get in.
1. BY the administration, its various
tariff experts and democratic leaders
generally-That the revenues of the
government cannot be greatly reduced
without borrowing money, or else leav-
ing government without means for
some necessary expenditures. AS MIR.
Morrison puts it, billion congresses
have come to stay.
9. BY Secretary Herbert and other of
ficials of the new administration, each
after his kind-That the public service
under the former republican admins
tration was creditably efficient, faith
full and honest. One new officer after
another, when bowling out his predeces-
sor or chief subordinate. has hOnored
himself by honOring the good work
which has been done for the country.
3. BY all the tariff experts who have
been trying to help the new admins
tration-That extensive reduction of
duties cannot be made without impos-
ing new duties on articles now free. or
leaving the government without neces-
sary funds Some take one way of put
ting this and some another Messrs.
Wells and Atkinson admit the deficien-
cy by proposing to make forced loan
from the pensioners. Col. Morrison adj
mits it by proposing to put back duties
on sugar.
1. BY Col Morrison, who knows con-
gress better than any of the rest-That
a proposed new duty on sugar will
probably fail In that case the presi-
dent NAV have to veto bill for mad
eouacy or else sign it knowing that it
means bankruptcy.
;. By substantially all the democrats
who have any sense-That the McKin-
| lev tariff is a harder bill to repeal or
alter than they ever imagined. To frame
any revision of it which the majority of
the people can be expected TO support Is
a puzzle for democratic statesmen which
rivals squaring the circle.
6. By the secretary of the treasury
That it is not necessarily dishonest in
motive, nor treacherous TO the people,
nor trucking to Wall street." when
the secretary of the treasury meets and
confers with bankers of this city about
| finances. The administration would
have avoided some discredit if it had
conferred a little sooner.
:. BY most of the people who voted
for change-That they do not know
now what change they voted for.-N.

UNDER DEMOCRATIC RULE.
Loose Financial Methods of Cleyeiand's
Administration.

Loose Financial Methods Of Cleyeiand's
Administration.
The month of Apri! last was a demo-
cratic month; the democratic admins
tration had got into full swing. We
state this merely as a fact which every
body recognizes. and which said every
body can apply in manner to suit HIM
self to the other facts we are going to
state. Now those facts are:
1. The expenditures for the month
exceeded the receipts by s4.saS,51S.
2. The deficit is s1.7S5. 10 larger than
that reported for April. 1892.
s. This loss is entirely attributable to
increase of expenditures, the actual re-
ceipts having been 81. 44, AS more than
in the corresponding month last year.
l. The growth Of revenue is derived
| solely from the gain in customs. rs
there is slight decrease in the returns
| from other sources of income
5. The increase of expenditure is not
| in the item of pensions but of interest:
the interest payments for last month
being s5.O95, 1858. against 81. ,65.660 in
April, 1892. The increase of pension
payments for the month was only Sl6G,-
go, while there was a decrease of SSH.
ga in the ordinary expenditures. But
the increase of s. $50. aO2 in the interest
item carries the total of the expendi-
lures for the month So. 119. 254 beyond
the figures for April. 1892.
6. For the ten months of the present
fiscal year. ended with April. the re
ceipts were SIS. S19.3aO greater than for
the corresponding months of the pre-
ceding year. but this gain was more
than offset by an increase of $50, 0Sl. $50
in expenditure. The excess of income
of S1.62l, 2lO for the ten months of the
preceding year was thus turned into Il
deficiency of S2.5Si, SO during the last
ten months. making the treasury Sl0,-
152.535 poorer than it was a year ago.
Now put these facts together and
then take in some other facts. First,
the acknowledgements congress"
whose work covered both of these years,
had an overwhelming democratic ma
jority in the house. Second, the col
lections were made by 4 republican adj
ministration until two months ago.
Third. it is shown by the record that
the internal revenue collections made
during Mr.. Cleveland's first term We're
$50. 900, 600 less than during Mr.. Arthur's
term and about $500, 100000 less than
during Mr.. Harrison's term. Here we
have two facts to account for the de
ficiency: first, carelessness and ineffi
cheney in the collection of revenues by
democratic administration, and. sec
ond, enormous increase of expenditures
l. L. Coll
off of receipts from internal revenue in
the first full month of the present adj
ministration is likely to be regarded as
startling fact. 1t indicates that the
same old carelessness and favOritism
which cost the country probably $780,
900. 900 to 500, 200. 900 in Mr.. Cleveland's
first term are getting in their work
again.-Troy Times.

Webster.
The reading class was standing in a
row upon the floor of an Indiana school
house. and a bright little fellow was
drawing paragraph about Roman
massacre. The president of the school
board was present on his regular tour
of inspection, and he pompously re-
quested that the boy read that verse
again" The verse" was read again.
'Ah! him. said the great man in a
loud voice, ''why do you pronounce that
word massaker?"
The boy was silent. ''It should be
pronounced massakre," continued the
great man with patronizing smile.
The boy remained quiet, but the
teacher finally spoke.
pardon me. SIR" she said, ''but the
fault is mine if the word was mispro-
nounced. I have taught the class to
pronounce it massaher."
"But why?' insisted the great man,
as look of surprise was followed by
look of pain upon his benign features
Il believe that Webster favors that
pronunciation" said the teacher,
meekly.
Impossible" said the great man.
The dictionary was brought and the
president of the school board turned
over its leaves until he found the word.
There was breathless silence as he
looked up, for there the word was mas
saker.

last, that Daniel Webster should have
made such mistake as that.

The Power of Patronage to BE Used as

The Power of Patronage to BE Used as
Doodle.
The man who, in a legislative body,
sells his vote. whether for money or any
other valuable consideration. is guilty
not only of taking a bride. but of be-
traying his constituents, not to speak of
the personal dishonor attaching to one
who is SO degraded that, for a valuable
consideration. he will support measure
to which he is really opposed.
The man who offers money or any
other valuable consideration to a mem
Der of a Legislative body, is briber and
a corruptionist. Nor does it make any
difference whether this corruption is
exercised in village council, or in the
halls Of congress-: there is but one name
for it in any case, and but one opinion
among all honorable men for both the
briber and the bribed.
One of the most astonishing develop
ments concerning the present admins
tration is the frank announcement that
President Cleveland is having prepared
two bills-one repeating the silver pur-
chase law. and the other low tariff
measure-and that he proposes to force
them both through the democratic con-
gress by practical bribery. The two are
coupled together for this reason: while
there would probably be no difficulty
in getting a majority for the tariff bill,
it is absolutely certain that the free sill
yer democrats are in a majority in con-
gress: the free silver men are bitterly
opposed to the repeal of the silver pur-
chase law, unless free coinage bill Is
substituted for it. and this Mr.. Cleve-
land will not allow.
Hence the amazing fact is developed
that the administration intimates to
democratic congressman that no offices
are at its disposal for the benefit OF
their friends except they shall vote for
the presidents two bills. The vast
power of patronage of the federal gov
eminent is to be used for ''boodle"
a bride to free silver democrats to for
swear their convictions, betray their
constituents, and vote for repeal OF
the silver purchase law. This is plain
case of proposed bribery. The president
is to become co-ruptiOnist on large
scale. He is to be the greatest lobbyist
the nation ever saw. for he has greater
amount of ..boodle'-in the shape OF
patronage-to bestow than any boodler
who ever figured in the third house. y

OUR DEAD.

Tread softly, for the place whereon
We stand is holy ground,
Where love and duty see shrine
In each low, grassy mound
Like white tents on a battlefield,
The sunny marble gleams
Within whose walls no sound OF strife
Disturbs the soldiers dreams.
We come TO honor the brave dead,
These soldier boys Of ours;
Let bitter mem ries Of the past
Be buried meath the flowers.
Bring tender thoughts and loving words
For each who lieth low,
Strew the same blossoms, wet with tears,
On friend as well as foe.
Heap high the flowers on each grave,
Cover each grassy mound,
Then leave them in their dreamless sleep
On their last camping ground

Acknowledging the Preacher.

A young lady orgarist in church in
Colorado was somewhat captivated
with the young pastor of the church in
the next street, and was delighted to
hear one week that by an exchange he
was to preach the next Sunday in her
own church. The organ was pumped
by an obstreperous old sexton, who
would often stop when he thought the
organ voluntary had lasted long
enough This day the organist was
anxious that all should go well. and as
the service was about to begin she
wrote a note intended solely for the
sections eye. He took it, and in spite
of her agonized beckonings carried it
straight to the preacher. What was
that gentleman's establishment when
he read: ''Oblige me this morning by
blowing away till give you the sig
nal to stop"-Toronto Empire.

Margie Wheaton was unqueStiOnably

as certainly a natural coquette- Not
that she was selfish or heartless, but
she possessed in very strong degree a
love of admiration and attention, and
now at about the age OF eighteen she
could claim to have had more admirers
than all the other girls in Elmwood put

Cornells. The house occupied q high
position, commanding view of the
country for many miles in every direc-

what kind of farmers the Cornells were,
for on every side thrift and enterprise

everything appeared to be in perfect
