| In this pleasant retirement, with
nothing to disturb him but the wild
note of the blackbird or the merry
chirp of the sparrow, he sits for O long
time lost in silent meditation.
Then, sudden thought seems 10
strike him. He deliberately takes of
his waisteoat and sets to work with his
| knife to pick out some stitches, which
had bound an inner pocket Of the gar
ment This accomplished, he draws
forth large leather wallet from which
he extracts number of papers careful
" folded, some OF them in sealed en-
velopes. At last he finds what he is
looking for, a photograph. On this he
concentrates his attention, gazing at it
for long time with fixed eagerness.
It is the portrait of q young and beauti-
full woman, and more and more puzzled
is the expression ON the old mans face
as his eyes rest on the perfect features.
"Strange how like she bel" he mutt
ters to himself. 1.-THE very image OF

The old man started at the Interrupt
ton.
Heart alive! It is the young master
himself" he gasped, as he hurriedly
thrust photograph and papers back into
his pocket.
"Bladon! Bladon! Where are you?"
George Arundel cried impatiently.
Here be, Master George, under the

ming forward to lead him to the seat.

A President who Came Near Being Called
BY y Mysterious ahd Affective
ProvidsBcs 60 once


WAsHNGroE, Feb. 10 There f. a tradi-
tion Ia Washington TO the effect that "a GER
tain man who was a compromise candidate
for vice president, was elected by "A scratch
and unexpectedly became president felt 10
incumbent on him to write an extremely
modest Introductory paragraph TO his first
message. lie accordingly began, as nearly
as his secretary can remember, in these
words; Called by mysterious and aiiiict-
i've Providence TO the chief magistracy Of
this nation from the far inferior place to
which had been elevated by the chances OF
politics, feel that ought" etc
The secretary Of state of that day was en-
phatically boss in his party, and when he
saw this he broke out with more heat than
politeness: "Grent heavens. mani II you
begin that way, they never will get done
laughing at you. You will be burlesqued
in every paper in the country, and these
Washington journalists will make that
sentence "A byword. What Ascribe your
elevation first TO an accident and then to an
affective Providencei No. indeed You must
assume that you are rightfully here and
mean 10 be boss Of the situation"
Sweeping Assertions.
OF course this was expressed in somewhat
more diplomatic terms, and there is "A cur
rent opinion that the new president changed
his policy at once and suffered in conse-
quence. Occasionally congressman spring
up by something like the causes modestly
mentioned by this president.
The contrast was very marked between
the debate on the Wilson bill and that on
The Mckinley bill. It fell to my lot 10 read
carefully every speech delivered in the house
IN that bill and to condense them into one
third of their space for popular use, and
Was much impressed with the great ability
displayed on both sides Of the discussion.
In the recent debate there were single
speeches OF ability equal to any in the Fifty
first congress, but the debate, as a whole,
was somewhat inferior. was particularly
amused by the very sweeping assertions
made by some eastern men on the one side
and by the still more sweeping-indeed pos
itively reckless statements Of western men
on the other The latter declared that the
entire period from the accession Of Polk TO
| that Of Lincoln was one of continuous and
uninterrupted prosperity, while the former
declared it season of almost uninterrupt-
cd hard times, but that certain other dec
AIDES showed unbroken prosperity.
Now, one would naturally suppose that
| these statesmen would read the commercial
history Of their country, at least Of nights,
| Sundays and rainy days. for diversion II
nothing else. They would there find that
there have never been 10 years of contin-
uous prosperity since the pilgrims landed
| that there never have been ~ years without
panic since Ben Franklin was old enough
TO keep diary, and that since the adoption
| u the constitution there have never been
seven years without some kind of financial
| disturbance.

known, Of course. to statesmen, but it will
do no harm 10 briefly set them forth for
general reading.
The Record of PRnics.
The los years since the adoption Of the
constitution have shown the following COM
mercial record; About once in four years
there has been minor panic-a stock panic,
bank panic or "a sudden fall in prices OF
produce. resulting in considerable embar-
rassment. About once In 10 years there has
been a great and serious panic, affecting ell
branches Of business, and once in thirty odd
years, or, say. about three times In n centu-
~, there has been "A worldwide and terribly
destructive panic, which. in the language
OF farmers. killed everything that was
caught out" Aud these panics Of various
grades OF intensity have come with almost
mathematical regularity, regardless Of the
party Ia power, its foreign OF domestic poll
cy, the banking system in vogue. the kind
uf currency In use or the percentage of the
tariff.
The logical conclusion is that the causes
Of panics lie far back 81 any Of those usually
assigned In congressional debate, and n
the party calculators are already figuring
on the chances for next November IL may
interest them TO note that all our very had
panics have come the year after "A presiden-
tial election and have invariably been fol
lowed by terrific defeat of the party in
power. II there Is an exception To this

The funny feature Of the case is that one
can take almost any year from Polk to Lin
coin and prove by good Democratic testi-
mony that it was a year Of misfortune
and by good Republican testimony that
il was a year Of prosperity The one
marked exception is the year extending
from August, 1851, to the same month in
1858. All authorities on all sides agree that
that was bad year. One member WAS 80
unfortunate as TO select the year 1855 as an
awful example Of what misery low tariff
had wrought for the farmers and one on
the other side was still more unfortunate
in selecting certain years since the war.
One asserted with great vehemence that
free trade had reduced England to a general
condition Of commercial helplessness and
pauperlsm among the laboring classes,
while another demonstrated to his own sat
isfaction that protection was literally eat
ing out the heart of Germany.
Now, a common man Is hardly at liberty
TO ridicule congressman. Indeed would
be "A sort Of moral treason. Nevertheless
it might have occurred to these gentlemen
that one example does not establish a gen
eral rule, even ia sciences much less COM
plicated than politics, and that England's
insular possessions, her enormous merchant
marine aud immense continental posses

New York, July 2a.--The moving In

was the disclosures in regard to the
Atchlson. Topeka ana Santa Fee rail-

Little's examination of the c0mpauy's
accounts According to his statements
the Income OF the company since the
last reorganization in 1852 has been
oyerstated some $L0OO,oOO by reason Of
the fact that rebates allowed to ship
pers were not properly charged on the
books. 1t seems that over $2.O00,oO0 OF
these rebates have been adjusted. eav-
Ing something less than Eb.oOOOOO still

While the rebate systeL was inaugu-
rated by President Marvel, 1t was con-
tinued under President Relnhart. who

the amount by charging them off to
operating expenses. The appointment
of receivers necessarily resulted In the
