The face of the young girl was red

down into the lap of her motherly
friend to hide her confusion. Mrs.
Colby stroked her hair tenderly, and a
smile of interningled sadness and
sympathy lit up her face. After few
moments Alice partly regained her
composure, and raising her head she
looked with trusting confidence into
her friends eyes and replied:

Found His Room Lighted With . Bottle
Tied to the End Of q String.
Uncle Jim Hendricks, a Rockland
county hermit, paid his first visit to
the metropolis few weeks ago as q
witness in an important lawsuit. The
parties who summoned him looked
carefully after his welfare and secured
him rooms in one of the finest hotels.
Though Tor years q recluse, the ex-
element induced by Uncle Jim's adj
ventures was so great that he was per-
suaded to stop in at the village store
on his way home and narrate them.
Being asked what was the most won
derful thing he had seen, he said:

says I'll pour some water out of that

'But, b'gosh, couldn't find no hole in

COMING EVENTS.

Prospects of q Period OF Rest from Po-
litical Agitation
The adjournment of congress and the
probability that there will be no extra
session promise the country nine
months of peace, so far, at least, as the
uncertainties of legislation are con-
cerned.
In regard to the tariff it may be as
sumed that there will be no disturb
ance for two years at least. President
Cleveland would not sign any bill in
the direction of McKinleyism, and aft
er another years operations of the ex-
listing tariff it is not likely that the re-
publicans will venture to challenge a
verdict in favor of higher taxes with a
presidential election pending. There
may be some "popgun bills" introduced
at the next session of congress by
Jealous McKinleyites. but there will be
no action to disturb business.
In regard to the currency the prom
fse of stability is almost equally good.
We can have no worse money than we
have, nor any more of it. The debt
statement for February % showed a
gold reserve Of TOSS, 81, steadily in
creasing, and a net cash balance of
SOL, 112 ,O75. Treasury officials are con-
hdent of their ability to meet all obi
cations until July l, when the proceeds
of the income tax will put an end to
the deficiency in revenue.
The political events of the year will
be valuable as indices, but present
conditions do not promise an exciting
canvass. Elections for state officers
will be held as follows: Rhode Island,
April 8; on November 5, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Massachusetts,, Mich
igan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah and
Virginia. These states represent every
part of the country save the Pacific
coast. If there were any grounds
for a reaction against the republican
party the fall elections would show it.
But unfortunately neither the demo-
cratic administration nor the demo-
cratic congress has given us any hope
full basis for fight, and the republic
ans have not yet had an opportunity to
start the reaction. Unless the silver
question shall cause split from both
the old parties the elections of 1898 bid
fair to be very tame. The meeting of
an international conference on silver
would operate to postpone and, per-
haps, prevent a political division on
this issue.
The relief and the truce come at q
good time. The country needs nothing
SO much as to "settle down to bust
ness."-N. Y. World.

The captain regarded the young sol.
der attentively for moment, and said
IF asked to do so. Brown, would you
go to Lieut. Nancever and offer hiIa IN

Browns face flushed and a look OF

but. before he could reply. Mrs. Colby,
with marked emphasis, exclaimed:
Indeed, he would not, Capt. Colby.

late himself to a man who certainly
wronged him. The testimony given
at the court-martial showed conclusive
ly that Lieut.. Vandever's action toward
him was unwarranted, every officer in

ranted, and the action of the command
ing officer when reviewing the findings
and sentence was a rebuke to the lieu
tenant which l sincerely hope he may
profit by. You will report for duty to
your first sergeant, Brown. and trust
that no similar trouble may ever again
come into your army life"

about to retire when Mrs. Colby said:

A LONE LITTLE TRAVELLER.
Pathetic Scene In Which . Pale Little
Lad Figured.


A pale little lad in a west-bound
train glanced wistfully towards seat
where a mother and her merry chill
dren were eating lunch. The tears
gathered in his eyes, though he tried
to keep them back. A passenger came
and stood beside him.

Have you no 1unch?"

'What is it, then? Tell me, perhaps

''It's--it's so lonely, and there's such
lot of them over there, and-and
they've got their mother"
The young man glanced at the black
band on the boys hat. ''Ah." he said
gently. land you have lost yours"

I've never seen him. A kind lady, the

hung this card to my neck. She told
me to show it to the ladies on the car
and they would be kind to me; but 1
didn't show it to anyone yet. You may
read it if you like"
The young man raised the card and
read the name and address of the boy.
Below were the words:
''And whosoever shall give drink un-
to one of these little ones, a cup of cold
water only in the name of disciple,
verify I say unto you, he shall in NO
wise lose his reward"
The reader brushed his hand across

THE GOOD DONE.
Wherein the Late Congress Is Entitled t.
Credit.

Wherein the Late Congress Is Entitled to
Credit.
One good law of prime Importance is
as much as any ordinary congress sue
ceeds in placing to its credit. The first
two or three congresses, and perhaps
as many more during the epoch of the
civil war, undoubtedly accomplished
more under the urgency and spur of
the times when they were sitting, but
most congresses have done less
The congress which has just passed
from the stage has surpassed the aver
age. 1t has enacted at least one law Of
prime importance-the new tariff law
While it did not make so much progress
in the direction of free trade in franz
ing this law as had been expected by
most people, yet it did make decided
progress It made distinct departure
from the protective policy " hich had
prevailed for thirty-three years. Dur
ing all those years there had been al
most uninterrupted progress from pro-
lection to higher and higher protection
until the climax was reached in the
Mckinley act of 1890.
The late congress not only called a
halt upon this movement, but it began
march backward toward commercial
and industrial liberty, and it made a
good advance for a first one. It put
the country in motion toward free
dom and the impulse which it gave will
not be lost. That impulse may not
seem to be operative for the time be-
ing, but visible results will be seen
again as soon as the country begins to
perceive the beneficial effects of the
greater measure of freedom it now en-
joys Then the march will be resumed,
not to cease until this is as least as free
country commercially as it was dur
ing the democratic days from 1857 to
1861.
If the late congress has done no
other great thing it is at least entitled
to credit for refusing to do many bad
and doubtful things Among the bad
are the numerous grabs which at one
time threatened to swell the appro-
priations for the next fiscal year to a
total unequaled in the history of the
country. Every grab of any great
magnitude, with the exception of the
sugar bounty only, was defeated dur
ing the closing hours of the session,
and to the democratic house belongs
the credit.
Among the doubtful measures which
have fallen, for the time being at
least, are the pooling bill, the Mica
ragua canal bill, the Hawaiian cable
appropriation and number of more
or less questionable measures of cur
rency reform. These can wait.
For some things, such as voting the
sugar bounty, refusing needed relief
to the treasury and neglecting to pass
the free ships bill, the late congress is
not to be praised. But on the whole
it has done more good and less harm
than any other congress for very many
years. Even those who now find moth
ing good to say of it will give it credit
for its great work of setting in motion
the car Of practical tariff reform be-
fore many years have passed away

Brown walked to his quarters with q

of Alice Sanford this had been his first
conversation with a woman since his
enlistment, and to him it seemed as a
slight raising of the veil to afford him
a glimpse of the social life which would
again be his when his term of service
should have expired. The flood of sun
shine his acquaintance with Alice had
cast into his distasteful soldier life was
multiplied and intensified by the atten-
