love for her Englishman and enjoyed
the shock she had given California.
She was beautiful and N her was

and that Of the Spanish American.
She was a California a]ristocrat. Her
husband. dark almost as though his
blood was all instead OF only quarter

gone the pace from his boyhood. He
had figured in International women
scrapes, had bet and drunk and gam

these men. Their exploits have passed
into history and few of the people OF
the country have more than a faint
recollection of the bandits who were
at n time the terror of the middle
west. Senators, governors and men
of influence were b.ck of the move
ment.
For years every governor OF Mime
aota was required to make a pledge
before the election that he would not
turn the bandits loose. But Gov.
'Clougl was bound by no pledge and
that the influence back of the move
ment for their release was too power
full for him to successfully resist.
These same Younger boys, as they
are still called, were the most daring
and murderous bandits of the western
hemisphere. They equal the most
cruel exploits Of the famed Capt. Cliff
ford OF England, and surpassed the do
ings of most bands Of outlaws. They
knew no fear, and displayed marvel
Gus skill in planning aud executing
their robberies.
Jesse and Frank James attained a
wide notoriety in later years, but they
were but pupils of Cole Younger, the
cool headed, educated, priestly looking
man whose daring and educational at
tainments made him the natural lead
er. But for their arrest after the dis
astrous Mortified affair there is little
reason to doubt that the gang would
have continued to be known as the
Younger gang instead Of the James
gang.
Cole Younger was destined to become
a minister. Fate made him a bandit.
He was the son of Henry w. Younger.
a lawyer of Western Missouri, and a
man OF undoubted prcbity as we'll as

Kansas border when the war broke

The young woman's small brother look
ed with palpable disfavor on the bunch of
mistletoe which hung from the chande-
lier, says the Washington Star. He had
not liked it from the first and he had as
sisted with the greatest reluctance in Sc
curing 1t in its lofty place. Only the
knowledge that much depended on his be-
havior at Christmas time had caused him
to even Tolerate the sprig of vegetation,
whose sentimental significance irritated
him. As the memories Of Christmas pres
ents and the obligations of decorum on his
part faded into the past. he grew more and
more inclined to be demonstrative in MS
aversion. y sneer curled his lips as ne
slid behind the sofa to watch the young
man who was calling on his sister.
Why, Mr., Wibbles!" she exclaimed,
I'm so glad to see you"
Thank you" replied the young man.
'And, er-by the way-do you notice where
you are standing?"
She looked overhead, and then said nom
chalantiy, but with a sigh:
'Ah, yes. That mistletoe has been there
almost a week. Nobody seems 10 pay any
attention to the old customs any more
But it does seem rather Illuminating for
a girl to have a misLetoe bough in the
parlor for so long a time and not be kissed
once, doesn't it2'
So sincere apparently, was her belief
that the old custom had been abandoned
that she did not take the trouble to change
her position, and as she spoke look Of
resolve spread over Mr.. Wibbles' features.
There was a puny struggle. followed by
two attenuated screams.
There" said he, dashingly, you can't
say now that you have not been kissed
under the mstletoe."
NO" she answered in confusion;
'tnanks to your impudence; have been
kissed not once. but twice"
Sis" said her brother rising up be-
hind the sofa, did you say twice?
YES. you horrid creature, 1 said
twice
'Well, it's a good thing"
What a good thing, Sammy" inquir-
ed Mr.. Wibbles with nervous attempt
at sang froid.

The Rule OF the Rosses.

It looks as if there were going to be a
splendid exhibition of boss rule during
Mr.. McKinley's administration. The re-
publican bosses are showing their power
in some of the states in a way that indi-
Gates what their purpose is. Senator
Quay is the republican boss in Pennsyl-
vania. He has had Mr. Boies Penrose
nominated for United States senator from
that state. Senator Cameron and ex-
Postmaster General Wanamaker and a
lot of other politicians opposed Mr.
Quay's choice. They had money and the
majority of the republicans of the state
appeared to support them. but without
avail. Mr.. Quay said that Mr.. Penrose
must be the senator and he was obeyed.
Mr. Wanamaker, the great bargain coun-
ter merchant of two cities, had to stand
aside And MIR. Wanamaker wanted very
much to be a senator. He hadn't gained
Mr. Quay's favor, however, and so he
remains at home to look after his bargain
counter interests.
And how will it be in New York? Mr..
Plat is the republican boss IN that state.
A very large number of wealthy and in
fiuential republicans of the state want
Mr. Choate the eminent lawyer, for SEN
ator, but Mr.. Choate hasn't asked Mr.
Platt 20 aid him, and therefore he doesn't
stand a ghost of a chance for getting the
honor. Mr.. Plat Will have the senator
ship if he wants it, and if he doesn't he
will name some one of his leutenants for
the place. Whoever he names will be
chosen. His rule is practically undis-
puted.
And in Illinois the same sort of machine
politics is noticeable. Martin t. Madden
is the republican boss of Chicago and he
wants to go to the Senate. lie has been
an alderman for a long time and has
served his party better than the public,
If reports are true. He is noted for sup
porting ordinances which the newspapers
call Doodle ordinances. though no Doodle
appears TO have been traced to his pock-
cts He will succeed Hon. John NJ
Palmer in the United States Senate. The
better element of Illinois republicans
would like to have a better man than
against the better element, and Madden
bosses the machine. lot of big repub-
lican bosses win either be in the Senate
or represented in the Senate Of the next
congress, and if they don't make the re-
publican party odious il will be because
something prevents them from having
their way.

Chicago is clearly losing nerve, The

revovers, broke into barroom for the
purpose of robbing it, even at the cost of
blood. The bartender was in the place,
shining the glasses. When the burglars
made their appearance he snapped his
towel in their faces, and they broke and
ran like frightened ours. On the same
day a man went down to the lake to COM

A True Ghost story.

This is a true English ghost story of an
unconventional kind, says the San Fran
cisco Argonaut. A young lady arrived late
at night on a visit to a friend. She awoke
in the darkness to find a white figure at
the foot of the bed. While she watched
the bedclothes were suddenly whisked off
and the apparition vanished. After an
anxious, not to say chilly night, the Wis
itor went down, with little appetite, to
breakfast. AT the table she was introduce
ed to a gentleman, a very old friend of the
family. who had, she learned, also been
sleeping in the house. He complained OF
the cold. II hope you will excuse me-" he
said. to the hostess, but found It so cold
during the night that knowing the room
next mine was unoccupied / took the lib
erty of going in and carrying off the bed
clothes to supplement my own" The
room, as II happened, was not unoccupied,
but he never learned his mistake.

1t is very seldom that man suffers re-
morse because of raise in his salary,
but sometimes he does, strange as it may
appear. says the Chicago Times Herald.
During the latter period of the boom
days in Birmingham, Ala, the reaction
from the wild speculation there had set
in, and those who were left to hold the
bag were knocking their knees in palsied
fear of the impending collapse, which
meant Their ruin.
The Herald was then publishing a met

waning boom every day, doubling the re-

by a few dollars in cash and a raise OF
salary, to placate his feelings, since he
was a good man and queer genius.

he replied, somewhat .cheerlessly.
"How's that, old man?'

Two verses for Hard Boiled.

The Baltimore Herald tells a good story
OF Bishop Paret (EpiscopaD of that city.
Some time ago he was the guest of an
Episcopal family in West Virginia. Learn
ing from the bishop that he liked hard
boiled eggs for breakfast, his hostess went
to the kitchen to boil them herself. While
so engaged she began to sing the first
stanza of the hymn Rock of Ages" Then
she sang the second stanza, the bishop,
who was in the dining room, joining in.
When it was finished there was silence,
and the bishop remarked:
why not sing the third verse"'
's,rhe third verse;" replied the lady, as
she came into the dining room carrying
the steaming eggs; ooh! that's not neces-
sary."
II don't understand" replied Bishop
Paret.
"Oh! you see," she said, when am
cooking eggs / always sing one verse for
soft-boiled and two for hard-bolled."

Foreign Trade Coming south.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd).

And now the New York railroads have
taken the alarm and decided that some
thing must be done to stop the southern
ports from taking away their grain trade,
a process which has been going on for the
past two years. with disastrous results to
the port of New York and the railroads
leading thereto. 1t is time for Phi.adel-
phia to feel similar apprehension. The
grain trade Of the country west of the
Mississippi is going to Galveston; that OF
the Ohio valley and the southwestern
states to Newport News; that of the other
sections of the south to Charleston and
Savannah; that of the northern tier to
Boston. Trade conditions are changing
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
are no longer the only gateways to Eu-
rope They all need to be watchful and
energetic or they vii. lose more OF their
trade than that in grain.

Stories from Cuba by way of Madrid
usually contain information of battles
fought in which two or three hundred in
surgents were killed, while the Spanish
losses were only three or four men killed
and wounded. The stories are highly inn
probable but not at all impossible. On
this day of the month of January in the
year 1915, the British under Packenham
and the Americans under Jackson met at
New Orleans Within thirty minutes the
British were beaten. with a loss of 1900
killed and wounded. While the American
loss was eight killed and thirteen wounded.
These figures are as disproportionate as
some of those which come from Cuba.

1t is impossible to discover from the
resolution sent by the democratic caucus
to the populist caucus at Raleigh, what the
difference is between democracy and pop
uism in North Carolina. The resolutions
touch only upon well known populist de-
mands, and say not word about princi-
pies that have had the adherence and sup
port of the democratic party from the time
that party came into existence. The
North Carolina democracy seems to be
absolutely demoralized; in a state of pitt
able collapse.
