The fight between the federal ad.
ministration and state machinery,
which Terminated with such . dread
full tragedy few years ago, prom
ises to be repeated with the inaug.
uration Of President Mckinley. The
fact, too, that all parties directly
concerned are from the same state
will have tendency TO intensity the
bitterness with which the struggle
may be characterized. Unless Gov.
Bushnell relents and names Mark
Hanna for United States senator to
succeed John Sherman from the state
OF Ohio, the consequence must newt
ably be resentment on the part Of
the Mckinley administration forces
Of the humiliating snub offered at
the behest OF Senator Joseph b. For
aker. The fire alarm statesman does
not want the adroit politician, Mar
Gus Aurelius, to play In HE yard. de-
spite preparations that have been
made BY no less . personags than
the presidsnt-elect Of the United
States to send him there. And the
obstreperous Joseph has laid his OBJ
jsctions with such enticing force b.
fore the keeper Of the lawn that he
has forbidden the urchin from Nc
Kinleyville tresspassing on the
premises. And therein comes the
tug Of war. It looks like war Of ex-
termination at that for IL Mark

Du AIaurier and Morris.

One Of the most extraordinary paral-
lels in chronology is the almost exact
coincidence Of the time spent in the
world by two men who had so much to
do with the molding Of the literature
and art Of their day as George Du Maui
rier and William Morris. Du Maurier,
the elder Of the two. was born exactly
l6 days before Morris, ON March 6. 1884.
and he died but four days after him; 80
that these two great men, who lived
more than 50 years, were on the earth
for exactly the same time, with the ex-
ception Of less than three weeks, both
being born in March, 1884, and dying
in October, 1895. Similarly, both Sir
John Millais and the archbishop of
Canterbury, who have died within q
month or two Of each other, were born
in 1929. It il one Of the most striking
events in the long history Of the arch
bishops Of Canterbury that the late
archbishop, who was one Of Mr.. Glad
stones appointments and afterward d.
verged from him in political opinions,
should have been stricken while sitting
in the squirrels pew Of his old friend at
Hawarden. It is most merciful thing
that Mr.. Gladstone did not happen to
be in church To man Of his years the
shook must have been most dangerous.
What an archbishop Of Canterbury Mr..
Gladstone would have made himself!
He would have rivaled even Dunstan or
Beckett and not improbably proved the
greatest prelate Of them all.-New Or

Boarding School Food.
In The Marian, Du Maurier tells Of
the sort Of food supplied at French
boarding schools, and BY no means
overrates its superior excellence. In no
other country outside Of France does
the nutrition Of growing youth receive
higher consideration. II the meals
served at schools there be compared
with those given at similar institutions
in England, the merit Of the French
system will be apparent The simple
first breakfast of coffee and rolls, the
second consisting Of hors d'euvres, q
dish Of meat or fish, one vegetable, SAL
I'D and sweet, and the dinner at 6
o'clock Of similar composition, with
the addition Of soup, supply just what
Is needed to encourage mental effort
and satisfy physical we'll being. In
England an entirely different system is
in vogue. Breakfast at an English
boarding school is a substantial meal,
served at O'Clock. In most cases it
consists Of fish, ham or bacon, eggs and
porridge three or four times q week,
with plenty Of milk and sugar. Dinner
at / O'Clock 10 most solid repast, lack
ing, however, in a sufficiency Of green
vegetables Supper at O'Clock is main
" farinaceous. It consists of tea, bread
and butter. DR.. Savory, medical officer
Of Haileybury college, in England, in a
paper treating Of this subject, says that
IL IL the complaint Of English teachers
that the work done by schoolboys after
dinner is not Of much use.
The doctor thinks that il il unfortu-
nate that they cannot have half holt
day every day to digest their dinner.
He would also allow q glass Of mild
beer. He found that about one boy in
four drank two glasses of it in summer.
He thinks it unwise to absolutely for
bid alcohol, as a boy always Graves that
which is forbidden. At French board.
ing schools the pupils drink light claret
mixed with water at every meal except
the first, breakfast. The nutrition OF
French schoolboys is thoroughly adapt.

ached all the time. My physicians
said would be all right after the birth

The pains in my back were almost un-

months old, friends persuaded me to
take Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable

bottle felt the effects. Ny back did
not ache 80 badly, and I felt stronger.
After taking four bottles felt well.

This Bear Had Nerve.

A. J. Brockway, of Osceola, N. Y,
has been missing sheep from his pas
ture for a month. A week ago he dis
covered bear tracks in his sheep pas
turt, and he decided that the bear was
the thief. He set big spring trap,
which he chained to log, and baited
it with fresh meat.
The next morning the log and the
trap were gone and the condition of
the ground around made it plain that
the bear had had a tussel with the
trap before he had started to carry it
away. There was trail straight
across the field in the direction of the
swamp, showing the way the bear and
his load had gone. The trail led more
than mile through the woods.
Brockway got his gun and followed
it up. 1t led into the swamp, and he
almost stumbled over the bear before
he saw it. The animal was sitting
down licking paw which was fast in
the trap. 1t was just as much aston
ished as was Brockway at being dis
covered, and started to run away. II
was almost exhausted, and before il
had gone half dozen steps Brockway
recovered his nerve and shot it be.
tween the shoulders. 1t weighed
about $50 pounds. New York Press.

WORRIED THE LANDLADY.
BaIder Twins Made Her Think She Was
in the Wrong Business.

w tUS SvtoHe oeo"VSS'
The Bladder twins have been getting
into trouble again. This time it was
with a new clearinghouse keeper
who had bought out the widow Clancy's
business and didn't know there was a
twin in it. The widow had always
been generous to fault-her own and
everybody's else-but the new dis
penser of provender had taunt for
measuring and slipping and keeping
tally on every biscuit that was served.
She saw Harold, the thinnest twin,
eating his supper and the dimensions
of his appetite fairly appalled, her.
She asked who he was and was told
that he was regular boarder and be-
longed to the Balder family, but not a
word of his being twin.
Land sakesl" she said, che must
be hollow from his head to his heels.
1 can never make any money with
such cormorant as that to feed!"
She saw pork and beans, fried hash,
eggs on toast and bread without stint
disappearing under the hungry admin
istration of boys appetite, and she
hurried into the china pantry and took
out small memorandum book and
began figuring on profit and loss.
She was at it some time and when she
returned to the dining-room she ex-
pected to find it empty. What was
her horror to find the boy with an APP
petite had just received an entirely
new order which was being served.
She stared for moment like one dis
traught, then she tackled the boy.
"You must be hungry" she said,
with whitening sarcasm.
"You bet L am" said the other
twin, Eugene, as he began to devour
the nearest dish.
young man, you'll have a fit of
apoplexy, and 1 won't be half sorry.
Anybody who gorges himself with
two suppers ought to die"
Eugene understood in @ flash, but
he only said demurely:
"Wait until I've eaten this one
maybe L won't need any more"
The new clearinghouse keeper
went through the apartments in a
fury, looking for the Balders to inform
them that their son was eating himself
to death. The first one she saw was
the boy himself playing checkers with
his father. Her eyes grew round.
"How on earth did you get here
before me?" she asked.
"Oh, that was dead easy" said
Harold, who saw the usual complica-
tons, and was happy. 81 came up as
soon as 1 finished my supper"
"But you had just begun all over
again" shrieked the tormented and
perplexed woman, and then Father
Balder came to the rescue and ex-
planned about the twins. But the
awe stricken head of the commissary
department said that she should sell
out, for she thought there was some
thing uncanny about the business

Rich Indians of Idaho.

The Portland Oregonian says that
an unusual condition exists on the Nez
Perez reservation The Indians are
holding about $4,000 of idle money.
The failure of banks in which the
money belonging to some Indians was
deposited made the supplemented shy
of banks and bankers. On the other
hand, the Lewiston bankers have re-
fused to receive money on time de-
post, with interest, in accordance
with established custom. These ban
kers have all the money they can use
proftably without taking interest de-
posits. The circumstances have caused
the Indians to hoard their money at
home. They have been liberal i'll
their expenditures, as a class, but
their receipts have been far in excess
of their needs. Business men who
possess the confidence of the Indisns
have been rendered the free use of
large sums of this money, without in
terest, and there are instances where
the capitalists have offered to pay the
white men to keep their money safely.
These offers, however, are not made
recklessly, although in all cases they
may have not been made wisely.

A Princes WindfaIl.

The Prince of Wales has just come
in for windfall of $4,000 in a
somewhat strange manner, says cor
respondent. Some time ago a.young
fellow of the name of Sydney de Bao
was staying down in Lizard, in Corn
wall, when he took fancy to the
daughter of the local innkseper, a girl
of the name of Ruby Hart Being in
poor health at the time he informed
her that he was going to put her name
down for legacy of SO, 900 in his
will. He added that with the object
of overcoming her objections to re-
ceiving the legacy he would make il
payable to the Duke of Cornwall, that
is the Prince of Wales, il she declined
it, thinking if the matter was put in
that way she would accept the money
rather than let il go to stranger. In
the course of time Mr.. De Boa died.
Miss Hart has declined to accept the
legacy for. reasons which she refused
to state in court, and which are left to
the imagination, and thus the legacy
falls to the Prince of Wales, who had
never heard of Mr.. De Bao in his life
until cited as party to the proceed
ing for the probation of the will.

A WeII.Matched Royal Couple.

A correspondent says the news of
the betrothal of Prince Charles of
Sweden to Princess Ingeborg of Den
mark is scarcely calculated to excite
much interest, for the bride is neither
pretty nor clever, having inherited the
gigantic stature, the huge bones,
cavernous mouth, horse laugh and
peculiar carriage of her ungainly and
extraordinary mother, the crown
princess of Denmark. On the other
hand, Prince Charles of Sweden is far
and away the least agreeable, least
clever and assuredly the most homely
of all the sons of Oscar, King Of
Sweden and Norway. Indeed, there
is not one redeeming point about
Prince Charles, and it is difficult to
find, either in his own country or
abroad, any one willing to say a good
word in his behalf. Moreover, he is
stone deaf. Perhaps it is just on that
account that he has asked Princess
Ingeborg to become his wife. For
even her whispers are of the most
stentorian character, and her voice is,
as far as volume and size are con-
cerned, in eeping with her stature
that is to say, very big.
