speaks slowly bu.she ~ nevertheless
enthusiastic. Thescbwo are always
together. They come down the long
hall together in the morning; they sit
beside each other in chapel. They
recite together, they walk home to-
gether at night. We will call this pic
ture might and Day."
IT
And now we must have backgroun d
OF black, for the picture we now take
is gray and red and white. 1t is OF a
youthful looking girl, slight Of build.
Her hair that has once been black is
covered with fine frost Of white. Her
cheeks are red and her lips scarlet and
full. Her complexion is clear and
dainty. Her eyes are earnest and blue
and she looks the world in the face in
dependently. 1t is an odd picture
though; il looks like roses and snow.
like the union of youth and age, Of
winter and summer. The red OF her
cheeks, the fire OF her eyes. and over
all the white froet OF her hair, make a
striking picture that will cause many a
one to stop and look at it more closely.
IT
Now we have the picture OF fair
haired young man. He is tall and well
proportional. His complexion is deli
cate pink and white. his eyes the color
Of the deepest torquoise and his hair
is cold intermingled with threads Of
brown. From out of his noble face
looks a soul as pure as that OF an angel.
He looks more like a Greek god step
ed down from the heavens than human
being. In his eyes may be read an
earnestness that is rarely found in one
so young. One who looks at this pic
ture will look again and again; it is not
striking, but beautiful. and good-a
picture to hang in your home amidst
the treasures that you love.
IT
Against the dingy wall again we find
a striking picture. 1t g Of a girl bend
ing over her books, dep in study. Her
head is wrapped in glory Of red hair.
1t looks like flames of fire flying all
about, as the SUMS rays touch it. Her
face is pale, her eyes are clear and gray
and full of suppressed feeling. She has
an intense soul back Of those eyes. AS
she sits there now, she is dreaming out
some story or poem. Her mind is as
odd as her face and hair. Shs writes
wierd. pathetic things, and again she
writes the funniest things that are brim
full Of laughter. The suns rays move
from off her hair and it takes on its own
deep shade. riot Of color, warm and
wonderfully striking.
tt
Here is another picture that has gray
for its predominating color or tint. 1t
is Of a young man leaning against the
side of the hall. He is slight and tall,
graceful and well poised. His eyes are
blue and earnest and he has frank
look that is pleasant. Here too age has
set its crown upon youth and his hair
is touched with the SHOWS that come
usually with years. His appearance is
striking, with the curls that lie on his
low broad forehead, half black and half
white, a covering of silver and ebony
that crown his well shaped head.

wall. What a lovely picture they make.
Two young girls with their heads close
together talking earnestly. One of them
is q pronounced brunette. Her hair is
black and glossy; her complexion is pure

continually. She is never still. She is
vivacious, piquant and dainty. She
perches her head on one side like bird
and talks and laughs with all the intense
feeling in her soul. The other one is
exactly opposite. Her head that bends
down is almost white. Like golden
snow it shines as the sun strikes across
it. 1t flies around her head like halo.
Her complexion is creamy white; her
eyes are calm and blue, and she is
sedate and calm and deliberate. She

ron a SHORT cA,l1pAIGN.

The question of shorter campaigns
continues to be agitated in all sections
of the country, and the hope Is
that the national committees of both
parties will issue such orders In the
premises as Will meet the views of the
public on the subject. The Baltimore
Sun writing In favor of shorter cam
paigns, says:
I'm view of the fact that there are no
Issues before the people which VIII
not be thoroughly and intellisently ex-
planned to them In the press before

GOOD LOGIC.

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat n
stalwnrt Republican journal, though its
name would not indicate 1t. makes the
following sensible remarks upon the
proposition of the tariff question being
taken up by the present Congress-:
Some Republican papers want the
House OF Representative to pass tar
III bill. This is folly. A tariff bill would
consume two or three months of the
time OF the House, md oil to 70 purpose.
There Is strong probability that 1t
would be defeated In the Senate, while,
IL It passed that body, It would be GER
tainly be vetoed. business would be
disturbed by the tariff discussion, even
though tariff bill could not pass. and
nobody and nothing would be helped
except the Democratic party, which
would be. united and encouraged by
the contest. The Republican party can
spend these few months or time with
greater profit to Itself and the country"
1t is rare for Republican newspapers
to speak SO frankly upon matters Of
this kind as has the Globe-Dcmocrat.
and for that reason 1t is all the more
noticeable.
There can be no question about the
wisdom Of It's position on the subject
| OF non-interference with the existing
tariff, but just how far its Republican
friends Will see 1t In the same light re-
| mains to be seen.

HAVE WE GOT TO rIGmT9


If the course Of the authorities at
Washington Is to be directed by certain
well-known statesmen. who appear to
be eager to fight "anybody and every
body" and that too, right away, the
best thing we can do is to prepare at
once. The Savannah News, which APP
pears to have kept run of these war
riors. furnishes the following:
ALLEN. OF Nebraska, wants to fight
France because of the Waller incident.
Morgan, OF Alabama wants 10 fight
England because Of the Bering Sen In
cident, and on general principles Liv-
England because of the Venezuelan in
cident. Hoar, of Massachusetts. wants
to fight Turkey because OF the Armc-
MAN outrages. Call. of Florida, wants
TO fight Spain because of the Cuban
affair. Lodge and Chandler, of New
England, want to fight anybody and
everybody because we are bully boys;
have got the ships. have got the men,
and have got the money, too. If they
all had their wish, what II merry Christ.
mas we should havc.'
The plain people, who would have to
do the fighting in the event of trouble
with either of the powers named, would
like to know what part the aforemen-
toned gentlemen would play II war
should come.
1t is not believed that the country
desires war with any power, and in the
settlement Of present complications It
may be sure that war will be the last
resort

NO PLACE FOR HIM HERE.

DR.. Hartman Ahlwardt, the anti-Sc-
mite agitator, who arrived In New
York last week from Germany for the
ment against the Jews in this country
has not met with the reception he an
ticipated, and If he hns not done so al-
ready he'll soon discover that he has
made a mistake In coming at all. and
that there is no room in this country
for such as he.
Ahlwardt is a fanatic, and the bust
ness which brings him to the United
States renders him obnoxious to the
masses OF our people in the highest de
gree. So far as known the people Of
this country have no cause TO complain
OF their Jewish neighbors AS very
general rule they are thrifty and law
abiding, and In very many respects
among the most enterprising of our ci-
tizens.
In this land of free thought and
action every avenue and every privi-
leSc open or enjoyed by other people
is granted to the Hebrew, and 1t is
right that it is so. The outcry against
the Jews In the old countries is coward
~ and disgraceful, and il may be sure
that it is not going 10 be tolerated in
this country.
Ahlwardts gospel of hatred against
the 1sraelites is against the fundamen-
tai principles of our Government, and
what business he has to come over here
with his unwarranted Interference is
difficult TO understand. The fact Is
there can be no excuse for his coming
to this country on such mission, and
the sooner he takes himself back where
he belongs the better.
