rate mildly The elderly widower, who
had four children, talked to her about
the advantages of a comfortable income
and maternal duties. The impecunious
younger son raved about romantic mar
riages and the picturesque side of pow
erty. The curate ate buttered toast
and lisped on Indifferent subjects. The
girl listened 10 the elderly widower
with a demure smile and a coy blush
She sat with hands clasped and burn

pecunious younger sons flights of inn
agination. While the curate cooed she
knitted red petticoats for paupers.
The elderly widower proposed. His tone
was moderate, his language digniffed.
He babe her pause and reflect. The
two most desirable things in the world
it was in his power to offer her-a
Christian home and n ready-made fam
lily. She thanked him with tears in
her eyes: and took week to think ii
over. The impecunious young son also
proposed. He pleaded pnssionately,
eloquently. Let her fly with him, he
urged, TO the uttermost ends of the
earth. Not n prosaic, inexpensive rail
way journey somewhere within reach,
but regular, extravagant expedition
to the antipodes, utterly beyond their
means. lie clasped her in his arms,
and she sobbed upon his breast. The

tective Idea.
The friends of protective tariff are
not afraid to form permanentclubs and
meet at stated intervals. They know
that the facts will always be with them
The Boston Home Market club at its
annual dinner recently listened to
such distinguished speakers as Con-
gresham Dingley, of Maine, and Sen
ator Lodge, of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Dingley, who knows something
about the tariff himself. spoke of rthe
inability of the free traders to agree
upon The cause of the revival of bust
ness. But, said the congressman. "the
common sense of the people concludes
that the repeated coincidence between
the protective policy and prosperity
and between the overthrow of that
policy and adversely establishes the
relation of cause and effect" Mr.. Ding
ley referred to the fallacy that cheap
ness was the ultimate aim, as if any
thing were cheap when the purchaser
had no money TO buy it,. Said the speak
er: I'm order TO secure a restoration
of prosperity il is essential that so
much of the decline in prices as has

Mr.. Dingley said: "In every state in

years prior to 1898 (when our none

foreign observers TO be without par

Senator Lodge pointed out the popu-

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
Postmistress at West FONT Rs
signs Her Position.
Romance In the Life of Miss Blanche
Bernard - Has Remained
True to Her First

A New York Times special from West
Point, N. Y, says: The report that
Miss Blanche Bernard, postmistress
here for the past so years, had resigned
was heard with regret by all who are
acquainted with the venerable woman.
The resignation was sent to Washing
ton, but has not yet been accepted.
Miss Blanche is known to every grad
uate of West Point now living. Her
father was professor of French at the
military academy for nearly 25 years.
When he died, in 1876, his widow was
made postmistress and held the Office
until her death when Miss Blanche sue
ceeded her. When Cleveland was first
elected president the politicians had
Miss Bernard removed from office. The
authorities at West Point and many
influential persons protested and Mr..
Cleveland personally investigated the
affair. A Newburg politician, who had
secured Miss Demands place, was called
to Washington and informed that the
appointment was made under a misap-
prehension and that his commission
was revoked.
The postmistress had sad romance
interviewer in her life. Fifty years ago
she was an exceedingly pretty girl.
Among her admirers was gallant Off
Ger who had seen service on the frontier.
While pursuing band of Indians he
had been wounded and on that account
was sent to the military academy as an
Instructor. The dashino capalryman
soon had sole charge OF the pretty girls
affections and they became engaged.
The course of true love ran exceedingly
smooth and happy life was apparent
ly in store for the young couple. De-
tachments of cadets, frequently rode
through the mountains and then the
young cavalryman was invariably in
charge. One day, as the detachment
rode rapidly down the steep sides OF
Crows Nest a cadets horse SHE'D at
something and ran full force into the
officer, who lost his balance and was
thrown headlong to the ground. He
lived but a few days after the accident
and Miss Bernard still mourns for he1
lovers untimely end
Miss Demands reasons for resignine
were such that her friends could not
prevail upon her to continue at hel
post. She is now at that advanced age
when nature demands rest, and hel
sister, who has been an invalid for some
time, requires her constant attention
1t is not yet known who will be post
master in her stead.

and looked brighter. Every one noticed
the change, and l bought two more boxes
for her.
When she had taken two boxes she was
strong enough to leave her bed, and in less
than six months was something like herself.
To-day she is entirely cured, and is big,

and has never had a sick day since.
