No sooner had he spoken the words

ask. For what you can buy at a farth-

us than all the gold in all the Austria

What we searched for we did not find.
Not a man among us had match.
Truly we had thought that our cup OF
unhappiness was full, but here was an
other bitter drop added, proving that
there were depths Of misery we had not
yet reached Cold as our hearts were
before, they were colder now. We
were frightened to look one another IN
the face and l speak the honest truth

An island filed with jewels could
not have bought that match from us.
We sat about collecting dry wood,
and tearing it into thin shreds, and
after selecting a sheltered spot, our
best skill was used in building up the
pile which we hoped soon to see blaz-
ing. There was an anxious discussion
as to who should strike the match, and
1T was proposed that l should do IT.;
but my nerves were so much shaken
that did not dare, One volunteered,
and to him 1t was entrusted. We
stood around him in a close circle, to
prevent the wind from getting to him,
and many silent prayer went up for
the success of the task he had under

let me tell you, and would have tried
the nerves Of the bravest man. He
was successful, and we watched with
thankful hearts the jets. Of flame play

One OF two explanations is appli-
cable to Mason's victory for the
United States senatorship, either the
machine is dethroned as a political
power, and with it has fallen the in
tiuenoe of Gov. Tanner, or else the
latter consented to the consolidation
of rival interests on Mason, with full
knowledge that another vacancy was

met. and he preferred to abide his
time to seize upon the opportunity.
In any event the state of Illinois is
to be congratulated. While the re-
publican party has lowered its con-
ception of the dignity of the office OF
United States senator by considering
such men as Madden and Lorimer in
connection with it, yet through the
aid Of public opinion, we'll pro-
nounced, the state OF Illinois has not
suffered the disgrace that overhung
it. Mason is probably lot as much Of a
statesman as Hit, but he is a popu-
lar fellow. and is doubtless the best
timber that Chicago put forward,
and THE ARGUS congratulates him
on the distinguished honor which has
come to his political labors. I'm
questionably he was the choice OF
leading Rock Island county republi.

The Heiress Tramc.

When he was editor of the Omaha
World-Herald in 1895 MIR. Bryan ex-
pressed some very decided opinions
in that paper on the subject of the
barter of American heiresses for for
eign titles. In an article published
Nov. 3 of that year he said that the
rearing OF rich American girls in
such q manner rs to make them de-
sire titled husbands was a reflection
on the parents, who cultivated a love
for aristocracy rather than a pride in
American democracy. and added:
sour forefathers decided that tt
ties were dangerous to liberty, and it
is to be regretted that the patriotism
Of revolutionary days has given place
to q disgraceful scramble, among the
daughters of some of our multi-mil-
lionaires, for lords, and dukes. and
counts. When an Englishman or
Frenchman, or other foreigner, with
nothing to commend him but q title
inherited from a remote ancestor
land possibly only retained because
it could not be pawned), reaches ma
jofity, he embarks for the United
States and enters into negotiations
for some manageable heiress or
heiress apparent. Instead of
teaching their daughters to
regard with favor the suits
OF worthy sons of this country, too
many ambitious parents lead their
daughters into market place. and
seek to barter q fortune for . crown.

Il is significant that poor American
girls, however accomplished, have
no charms for impecunious noblemen.
