Expansion.

Do we favor expansion? Yes,
we do. Expansion in business en-
terprises and trade of the country;
expansion in the religious views
and practice of the churches; ex-
pansion in the educational teach
ing and raising of our children;
expansion of our general ideas and
practice in our dealings with our
fellow men, SO as tn see their side
of the case as we'll as our own; and
finally, an expansion of heart and
mind which will make us love our
height ors as ourselves. After this,
it is scarcely necessary to state that
we are in favor of the expansion of
the currency by the coinage of all
the silver we can honestly come by,
on an equality with gold, and also
that we are in favor of the territor-
ial expansion of the limits of the
United Stetes, SO as to take in all
the down-trodden and oppressed
nations of the earth, II rellet from
oppression can come to them in no
other way. If to do this we must
fight the oppressor, we'll and good:
we have the right on our side and
will surely prevail. After all ex-
pansion only means progress, and
God forbid that we should stand in
the way of the progress, of civiliza-

q. NJ. Leroy Secures Money on
Apparently Worthless Checks.
We clip the following from the
Columbus, CO., State Journal of
Dec. 4th:
&c. NJ. Leroy, the tricky presi-
dent of the so-called Ohio Lumber
and Manufacturing Co, does not
confine his operations to Columbus.
HE registered at the Barnett
House. Canton, last Wednesday,
and told the clerk that he was
looking for a hotel to purchase.
He was directed to Recorder
Daugherty, a prominent real estate
dealer Negotiations were entered
into for the purchase of the Hur-
ford House. He gave check for
500 to bind the contract and
agreed to take charge January /.
Landlord Simonds cashed two
checks for 500 for him on the
Ohio Lumber and Manufacturing
Company of Gallipolis, but the
checks were sent back with the in
formation that they could not be
cashed unless Leroy returned. Lee
roy has not put in an appearance
up to date.

bugles taught. The mines had resumed;
Mr.. Frederick Bingham had resigned"
and was investigating the Kelley cure;
and Darcie Hamilton was sent over as
manager of the Big Horn. This time he
did stop in New York long enough to
protect his claim to the virgin lode he
had located, under trying circum-
stances, the previous summer in the
Occur d'Alene. (The name of twas not
the Black Dwarf.) But the complied
tions between that early, rash location
and the subsequent patent under law
would make another story, with a very
different scene-setting. The family
discussions, in Darcie's opinion, were
far worse than any miners war. He
never knew On which side his best
friend would turn up. His mother,
for instance, was infeXibly against
him, while his father, the most positive
of men, was pecially after
seeing Faiths picture-to look upon
the young mans adventures in the
Occur dAlene as very much what
might have been expected SO why make
ii
all around? Darcie by no means con-
sidered that any of it was a mistake;
but if his father chose to call it so, and
to give his consent to his wishes on that
understanding, he was willing to yield
the point, in name. But Faith declined
to go to England, into family that
gave her so cold a welcome. Therefore
the Big Horn, and the intrepid young
pair went westward on their conquer
ing way, and left age and opposition be-
hind them. And ifsthey have disap-
pointed each others high expectations
of happiness, the fact has not as yet
transpired to the knowledge of their
relatives.
Faith celebrates in her letters the
| wonderful wild flowers of the Occur
d'Alene. the grandeur of it's mountains,
| the softness of its sudden spring. Other
| persons maintain that the spring has
been very late in the Occur d'Alene this
year. Her aunts wonder if the climate
has changed. Something has changed,
| the girl has found her heart of youth
again, and with it the courage to be
CAD. The premature, crushing ex-
/ periences of the year before, its shocks
and shameful surprises, have taken
their due place in relation to larger
experiences and more vital discoveries.
She has parted with one sacred illusion,
but she is fortified against that irrep-
arabic loss by deeper knowledge of
! life and its inevitable shortcomings.

Greater joy than hers no woman, she
believes, has ever known. She caynot
look to have all the joys. and al she
strengths, of q woman's perilous LIE of
the affections.
Her mother she lost before shs ever
knew her. A father she never had; he
died the spiritual death before his child
was born. The body of Frederick Bing
ham still walks the earth, but his soul
will never be. cured by the Kelley or any
other mundane cure; it expired too
long ago. When the will is dead, the
man is dead. His children can only
mourn him, and pay what respect they
may to the dreary remains.
Darcie has his enemies in the Occur
d'Alene, but he has also his stanch
friends. Mike is foreman of the Big
Horn in place of Peter Banning, de-
posed; and Kitty Tyler, now Kitty Nc
Gowan, makes the surly Big Horn
kitchen realm of perpetual sunshine.
She is spelling her young mistress for
whatsoever her successor may be when
she and Mike go to housekeeping in the
fall.

Some time at table sat, to come up higher"
With humble mien. and brief adieus. she
rose,
Leaving her poor and faded garment here,
For, in that chamber, other robes are worn.
A gold ring, old and thin, she also left,
The which, to keep for her dear sake, I
took
And drew it DER my finger, lovingly!
Was it a talisman, charm, touched?
The moment it was on my finger placed
felt her hand within my own again;
And like a dream came back all happy
times
That we had spent together, our best
states;
No memories of i'll, but all of good
Return to me! And possess them now;
For, when 1 feel this golden circlet, she
Is with me STILL with me in prayer and
praise,
With me in every scene of life's sweet joy,
From youth right on to time of silvery age!
Is not this mystic presence promise true
OF the reunion hoped for, and proof
that though unseen she is not far away?

She is not gone, but in an upper room
OF the same mansion. waits for me to

As he came opposite to the spot where
his prisoner stood, Mike raised his rifle
and lowered his head, and suddenly he
opened cry, like one mad schoolboy de-
flying another:
Run, Rafferty,, me bould boy!" he
yelled. "The scabs is after ye! Get
move on you! Shake it up, man! Hit
the road!" and as Rafferty, ran, Mike,
roaring with laughter. leaped upon the
top of the bank, and sent his big voice
after the fugitive:
''The boat is in, Rafferty,! And the
throops is on board! That's right, I'm
tellin' We! The throops is on board!
They're flynn light two comp'nies from
Sherman, an Gin'ral Carlin in COM
mand. VIII we try the river, or Will We
try the canyon? Tell the boys if yemeet
'em that martial LAWS out-in the Cor
de Lane!"
Long after Rafferty, was clean out of
hearing Mike continued to dispense his
soul in barbaric boots and bowls, till
Darcie, raising on his elbow to listen for
another sound, babe him hold his in
fernal riot.
A quarter of a mile away the troops
were disembarking. The orders de-
manded a quiet landing, but Mike had
heard the roll call on board the boat be-
fore she touched the shore. And now
the tramp of feet could plainly be dis
tinguished treading the deck of the
wharf-boat; now they were mastering
on the ground. Two by two, in columns
of twos, the companies were marching
as one man. Steady, through the
night, on came the solid, cadencedtread.
AS sharp as pistol Shots rang the words
of command. The white stripes, the
steel points, cleaned through the
trees. Silence; and piercing sweet" o
voice of rescue in the dark distance, the
bugles sounded:
attention."
1t sent the blood to the hearts of all
who heard that midnight call. Darcie
thrilled, and was himself again in that
moment of strong excitement. Faith
broke down like a child, and wept. A
word at last had been spoken to which
even anarchy, red-handed, paused to
listen. That brief order would carry
through the night; it would fly from
camp to camp through the mountain
gorges, and every man who caught but
the echo of that word would under
stand. Those who will not heed the
voice of law, or soften to the stiller
voice of kindness, must pause at last
when the bugle sounds:
attention."

THE END.
A LOVER OF MUSIC.
The Most Stupid of Animals WON by
n Flute.

a Flute.
The woodchuck has been deemed one
of natures least interesting expert
ments in animal life. The farmer usu-
ally regards it as a nuisance which
stupidity digs holes in the clover-field,
or takes up its abode under the stone
fence and crops the peas and beans.
Dogs are set ON it, traps are laid for its
feet, and sometimes even a bucket
brigade of the entire family is organ
lied to drown it out of its burrOw. No
one, in fact, has ever been able to dis
Germ much which is interesting or in
telligent in a woodchuck.
1t has remained for one of our sub
scribers-who has lately left the tene-
ment quarter of an inland city and
made little home for himself in the
country ON the line of d new electric
road-to discover that the woodchuck
possesses an ear for music, and may be-
come d devotee of the flute.

Land, and made' part of it into a veg
etable garden" he writes, planting
and hOeing it evenings after got out
from factory work in town. But wood
chucks began to annoy me; they ate
my green peas. There was a burrOw
where a wagon load of yellow earth had
been dug out beside large stone. It
was difficult to disIodge them; and
presently l saw that there was an old
mother woodchuck, and that she had
four infants. That burrow, indeed, was
a woodchuck nursery. It seemed rather
a mean thing to prosecute maternity,
so 1 bore with the old lady, catching
sight of her and her queer, chubby,
furry little babies now and then.
'Time ran ON till near the first of
August, when ONE Sunday morning, as
I sat at the back window Of my camp
cottage, playing few notes on flute,
I CHANGED to glance out, and saw, to
my surprise, something -some queer,
motionless, yellow-gray object-stand-
ing bolt upright not ten yards from the
window. 1t stood so tail, SO straight, so
still that for moment / could hardly
believe it was one of those young wood
chucks-nOw nearly grown, and as
large as a large cat.
''The creature actually seemed 20 be
more than two feet tall. It's black eyes
were fixed intently on the window.
''Had charmed it?
Flora I whispered softly to my
wife, who was at the farther end Of the
room, come here quietly and peep out
''She did so, and I went ON playing.
The woodchuck stood as if spellbound.
"'Why, the dear, horrid little thing!'
Flora whispered. Only look at it's cum
ming black paws crossed On it's breast!
Why, Jim, tits saying it's prayers to
you!'
''It really was very odd little rustic
spectacle. If stopped playing the an
imal would presently drop to its feet,
but when 1 resumed softly, it would rise
and again fold its paws.
Flora looked quite touched. Jim,
she said, I think better of your music
than l ever did before
But alas, it is only the most stupid
little animal in creation that can APP
preciate my flute!

The Paper Morris Used.

Mr.. Morris was no advocate for thick
paper, but he had long before found
out that machine-made paper of wood
pulp and clay was useless for perma-
nent results, to say nothing of the I'M
interesting quality of its surface. The
latter failing is factor by no means
unimportant in the beauty of book.
Much of our shiny, calendered paper
is, besides, trying to the eyes. He was
forced to resort to the plain, honest
way of the old-time paper-makers. I'm
bleached linen rags were used, and
molds whose wires were not woven with
absolute mechanical accuracy, thus OBJ
tanning a sort of variety in the surface.
This paper was made expressly for him
by Mr.. Bachelor, at Little Chart, near
Ashford, and resembles the paper of
the early printers In all its best quail
ties" Three water marks were designed
by him for paper OF different sizes-"the
apple, the daisy, and the perch with
spray in its mouth; each of these de-
vices being accompanied by the initials
