Even in the intensity OF her grief
Hilda had thought OF her mothers much
needed slumber, and not a cry escaped
her lips. Andrew. the big. clumsy, soft
hearted general, saw that no sympathy
OF his could soothe her distress; she
must just fret her dole" And so he
left her with her sorrow.

as the last words of her drowned lover

they avoided all allusion TO Ben Webb:

Besides. she and her mother had to
live, and netmaking and mending must
be attended To, even though the heart
may ache and the eyes blister with un-

So two years went by. Then, her
mother having been laid TO her last long
rest under the gnarlcd elms in the
churchyard, Hilda went to live with her
sister Abel MoNJn, the COopers wife

Is awkward and rather elongated.
To utilize mems styles would be to
call attention to shapes that taste and
charity would conceal. Shipboard Is
another field for observation, and the
ladies, the middies and the officers are
levied upon for the beauty and comfort
of Liliput. Anything that smacks of
the sea captivates the small boy. There
seems to be an instructive love for blue
flannel, and the chevron on a sleeve,
worked with a few bright stitches, or
a touch of gold, will sell suit every
time. Mothers like velvets. braided
trimmings and lace rufiles, but more
or less coercing Is needed to infatuate
the manly boys fancy.

Formerly mothers bought an extra
pair of pants with a suit, now three
and four pairs are taken and used with
fancy blouse waists or Elton jackets for
dinner dress or house wear generally.
That boys life is Influenced by the

bent head. A wan, frail-looking Great
ure she was, dressed In black, vita a
close-fitting, old-fashloned bonnet tied
under her chin in a bow Of broad black
ribbon. Her hair, smoothed evenly upon
her forehead, shimmered silyery as the
new-churnei foam in the bay. She
moved haltngly, even with the aid of an
oaken staff and the helping arm of her
companion,
Withdrawing her arm, she paused In
the pathway, and pointed her stick to-
wards the bare-heaied old fisherman. In
thin quayering tones, as If the words
were said by rote, there being no vehe-
mence in her utterance, she cried: "Ah,
l knaw ye-I knaw ye. Ban yo, for no
speakln' me fair" With no more pas
sion than If she were repeating some
soulless formula, she added: Curse ye,

Andrew did not stir limb, but stood

"Fair Prices or No Rice. ;,


This ought to be a good year for home
rice" said a New York merchant to Caro-
lima planter.
1T has sharp competitor in foreign, for
by reduction Of tariff it is brought in here at
= cent less than preceding years. Still, our
crop is far short of the total requirements Of
the year and for this reason ought never 10 go
below the cost OF importing foreigns. The
best of these are selling at cents, the poorest
at 315 cents. If the home product realizes as
much it would mean S1.25 per bushel for the
best, rs cents per bushel for the poorest, less,
of course, transportation TO market and ex-
penses connected with its handling.
''These prices can be realized if planters,
knowing the value of their goods, insist on
getting it or something approximate. Every
thing depends upon the intelligence and de-
liberation of the planting fraternity. No one
can make the market, but by pulling together
good, fair prices can be gotten for all of it In
proportion to quality OF rough. Planters
must exercise their judgment and should en-
deayor to grade their rice fairly-the best is
only best, the poorest is only poorest and
prices must follow quality. Neither merchant
or miller can hold the market, but only the
planters. They own the crop and can get
what they please up to the cost OF foreign il
they will but use the power they have. Here
is motto: Fair price or no rice. New
York Commercial Advertiser.

THE HAT-PIN GAME.
1t Cultivates Quickness of the Eye and
Discourages Street Attentions

1t Cultivates Quickness of the Eve and
Discourages Street Attentions.
A gentleman who lives in west side fam
lily hotel has invented new game to amuse
his wife and at the same time cultivate her
powers of observation. It's not complicated
and can be played by any one who possesses
hat pin and good eyesight, says an ex-
change.
In the morning husband and wife agree
upon a certain block as the field of opera
rations. For the sake Of convenience it may
be said that they choose the block on
Twelfth street. between Broadway and Cen
tral and on the southern side thereof When
he goes to work he takes one of her hat pins
and sticks it into the wood anywhere within
arms reach either above or below the waist
line and into any available woodwork, such
as door. post, a porch or telegraph pole,
When she goes down town shopping, or for
any other womanly reason, she looks for it,
and If she finds it she claims a reward, which
he pays in gum. gloves, or candy. To vary
the monotony she places the pin and he en-
deavors to find it for reward of cigars. OF
course they change the block from time to
time, as the eyes soon become accustomed to
every available inch of wood in the block.
Now the lady thinks it a very amusing and
interesting game, and until she reads this will
probably not have discovered how deep her
husband really is. She is pretty woman,
and there are many good-looking and suscep-
ible men who use Twelfth street on business
and pleasure bent. The hatpin game so alb
sorbs the ladys attention when on the street
that she has no eyes for the men and does not
see their admiring glances. She goes along
so demurely and self-centered that men of
gay demeanor get a chill. There is a
pointer in this story for men generally, and
the game is not patented.

TIE INSULT TO MGR. sAToLLL

Those persons at Paterson, n. J., who
forced their way into a private residence
where Archpishop SatoIi was visiting, who
were guilty Of inexcusabie indecencies toward
woman, and who conducted themselves more
like blackguards than anything else, would
be very much offended if they were told that
they were not gentlemen.
Yet that description fits them, for gentle
men would not have conducted themselves in
so boorish a manner. They would have had
more respect for themselves. more respect for
a man who was 4 stranger in the city, more
respect for his ecclesiastical Office. and. as
Catholics, more respect for the man who, in
his person, represents in this country the
chief authority OF their church.
No excuse can be found, nothing advanced
in palliation Of their behavior Mgr. Satolli
was not in Paterson on any official business;
his visit was Of purely private nature The
grievance which they thought warranted
their intrusion was one which the papal able
gate had previously disposed of,and which he
declared be would not touch upon again.

advantage OF his mishap to still further

With the incident, so far as it involves a
quarrel between a Catholic congregation, or a
faction Of one, and the papal representative,
the general public has no concern. But every
American who loves decency, fair play and
gentlemaniy conduct will condemn the i'll
behavior that could disregard the ordinary
obligations Of courtesy imposed in the pres

MRS. LEASE IN HOT WATER.

Mrs. Lease finds that the rose of politics
has its thorns.-Boston Globe.
Affldavits about Mary Ellen Leases con-
nection with "boodling" somehow don't bear
out the theory that womaR's entrance into
politics would be marked by all that is sweet
and lovely and of good report. Pittsnurg
Chronicle-Telegraph
That is tough charge that Dixon makes
against Mrs. Lease in Kansas. 1t is to be
hoped Mrs. Leases reputation will not be
marred. If this charge is true it will greatly
inyalidate the claim Of woman suffragists
that their sex is incorruptible in politics.
Minneapolis Journal
Mrs. Lease is charged with having advised
public officials in Kansas to pervert public
funds to their own uses on the pretext that
everybody was doing it from the Governor
down. That statement appears to be true

the manner alleged or not-Bunalo Express
