tened eagerly, and did him full justice
when he ceased.
And now listen to mine" she said
blithely
Jones felt it to be his own act and
deed, and he resigned himself to listen
Her chapter was really not badly writ
ten! Her style was evidently modelled
on his own. Jones put his finger tips to-
gether and smiled hopefully. But when
it came to her hero, alas! not only had
he "a comb at the back of his head, - as
Stevenson puts it, but no was altogether
impossible. How to wipe him tenderly
out of the chapter without breaking of
hearts? Jones tidgetcd distressfully.
That's not quite the sort of thing a
man would say, dear" he suggested
mildly
"Oh, isn't it!' she answered, with
derision. "As it happens, man did say
it-those very words Do you imagine
you know how every kind of man talks
to woman when he's alone with her?"
Heaven forbidl' said Jones' "And
who said it to you, may ask?'

replied, with some haste "How do you
like this ending? l think it's rather
neat, don't you? And when they had
both left the conservatory there was
something frail and pink lying on the
marble floor. 1t was a moss rose bud

There was a silence. They glared at
one another. Then Jones wife got up
and left the room with queenly step,
closing the door behind her with osten-
tatious gentleness.
Jones heard no more about collaborat-
ing for some time, but next day the bill
came in for the writing table,
guineas.
He bargained with Shaplemann who
consented to take it back for 4, and the
incident closed.
Some months later Jones book actu-
ally appeared and his wife received nu-
merous letters congratulating her on
the authorship of it.
"What in the world do they mean?"
he demanded.

TASTED Three Years.

A famous Hindoo fasting man has
just passed away i'll India. Some years
ago he appeared at Trevandrum and sat
down under banyan tree to spend his
time in divine contemplation. At first
he ate at long intervals, but the fasts
extended till at last he ate nothing for
three years He simply sat huddled be-
fore fire, deaf to all speech and sounds.
He was worshiped almost as a god, and
when he died was buried with curious
ceremonies A hundred cocoanuts were
broken on his skull to make crack for
the soul to escape. -London Graphic.

A DREAM.

Oh, 1t was but dream had ssySx
While the musician played 2YH
And here the sky and here the glad y
Old ocean kissed the glade.
And here the laughing ripples ran,
And here the roses grew
That threw kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our sillzen sails IN lazy folds
Dropped In the breathloss breeze,
As DER n field of marigolds
Our eyes swan DER the seas,
While here the eddies lisped and purled
Around the islands rim,
And up from out the underwood
We saw the mermen swim.
And 1t was dawn and middle day
And midnight-for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of June,
And here the glowing, glorious king
OF day ruled DER the realm,
With stars of midnight glittcring
About his diadcm.
The seagull reclcd on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
AS we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung at us from their flashing hands
The echoes of their songs.

less than twenty Federal officials took
part in the recent Democratic convention
in that State. Yet no official has been
punished either by dismissal or reprimand
and there appears to be not the slightest
apprehension on their part that they WILL
No warming voice comes from Buzzard' s
Bay. Mr.. Cleveland is dumb on the sub
jcet. Yet if active participation in politi-
cal conventions was demoraljzing in MI
Cleveland's first administration, as Mr.
Cleveland then professed to think, it is
no less demoralizing now. 1t takes just
as much of the Federal office holders
time, which belongs to the public, to
manage a sound money convention as
silver convention, and the Federal official
has no more right to throw his official
influence in direction that accords with
the Presidents views than in one that is
directly contrary to them. The silver
men have as good reason to complain
when Federal officials use their influence
to beat them as the SO called sound
money advocates would have if they threw
their influence on the other side. Be-
cause these officials are working for the
side Of the question w hich the President
espouses, should not be allowed to
extenuate their offence in the least. Fed
eral officials are not the servants of the
President, but of the people, and it is
their duty to abstain from ANY offensive
interference on questions which it be-
longs to the people to settle. Cleveland s
order during his first administration was
based on sound principles and sound
policy 1t ought to be renewed forthwith.
If it is allowed to remain in the innocu-
GUS state that it is in at present the Pres1-
dent will inevitably expose himself to the
charge of hypocrisy and insincerity
| People will say, and with good reason,
| that Federal officials are not only al
lowed, but encouraged to take an active
part in politics when the President has
chestnuts that he wants pulled out of the
| fire.

promptly granted the Portland Railroad
Company the privilege of laying rails in

the company declared that it was its pur-
pose to Immediately begin the construc-
ton of the extension. The action of the
Board will receive general public endorse
ment The Portland Railroad Company
is corporation which has always dealt
fairly with the public and has scrup-
uloasly kept all its engagements, and
such privileges as are granted it are sure
to be exercised with as little interference
with the rights of others as possible.
ri ,e6ition of the Yarmouth road was
laid over, as the change from Cumber-
land to Oxford streets necessitates a
new notice. The projectors of this,
road professed their intention to com

ped1ment will arise to it's early censtruc-
ton. The improvement of the facilities
of communication between this city and
the surrounding towns w Ii help both and
contribute to the general prosperity OF
course care should be taken that they are
so located as not to unnecessarily endang-
err life and limb or damage property, but
no obstruction policy should be adopted
toward them.

1t is the greatest nonsense in the world
to claim that the effort to down Senator
Quay is synonymous with an attempt to
reform the Republican party OF Pennsyl-
vania. There is just about the reform
in it that there was in the attempt to
overthrow Platt Of course it is repre-
sented to be reform movement. Every
Sling Of the sort masquerades nowadays
under that name. But as matter OF fact
the men who have been trying to over
throw Quay are not one whit better than
he. There only purpose is to pull him
down in order that they may take his
place The two men most Eprominent IL
the combination are Dave Martin and
Chris Magee, who have been for years
local bosses of most tyrannical kind. Fol
those men to blossom out as reformers is
enough to bring a grin to the face OF a

The friends of tariff reform of the Will
son variety are pluming themselves
much on the alleged fact that the num-
Der of tin plate mills has increased greatly
in this country since the reduction Of the
duty on that article. When the Mckinley
duty was placed on tin plate their claim
was that the tin plate industry could not be
established in this country at all and every
mill that was built they sneered at, alleg-
ing that it either did not make tin plate
at all, or in SO small quantities as to
amount practically to nothing The truth
is that the Mckinley duty furnished the
opportunity to establish tin plate making
in this country. Ehe opportunity was
taken advantage of and the business has
proved success. That it is SO well es-
tablished that it can flourish under less
duty than was needed to start it is a
tribute to the foresight of its founders.
