MISS RHODY.
BY HARRIET PRESCOTT sPoFFoRD.

Copyright, 1898, the S. S. Mcclure Coz
Rhoda, the elder said, meant a rose.
or something like. But surely. if there
was anything of the rose about Miss
Rhody, it was faded, a pressed and
withered one. And yet a certain hint
OF the sweetness of the rose always
hung about her, perhaps spiritualized,
but none the less sweet. The children
recognized it, for it was Miss Rhody
who put the buttered brown paper on
their bruises and consoled them for
their bumps, now with an apple when
no one else had apples-for Miss Rho
dy's few trees always bore on the off
year-and now with a shining square of
loaf sugar from the great cone wrapped
IN purple paper, which seemed to them
a part of the wonders of the outlandish
countries on the other side of the
world, where people walked head down,
as the flies do on the ceiling. And now
and then she cOnsOled one of the ten
derest and dearest with a kiss instead,
which the little thing endured for the
sake of the cuddling on the soft Shout
der, the agreeableneSs of the half
guessed scent of dried roses that she
was never without, and the doll-baby
rags that came afterward. And the
young girls recognized it, for it was to
Miss Rhody they came with the
weighty condolences of their hopes and
their griefs and hesitations, their
gushes and bushes, and it was from
her that they had the excellent advice
which they never followed. The moth
ers recognized it, for it was not only
that Miss Rhody came to them in their
illness and the illnesses of their chill
dren, nor that she brought them the
bunch of peonies for the parlor pitcher,
but she seemed to have an insight into
experiences which she had never
shared, and gave them silent sympathy
at unexpected moments when they
would have been the last to confess
they needed it. And the old people
recognized it, too: but, 10th to say. not
altogether with the same friendliness
of feeling toward it; for it was Miss
Rhody, who so long had dressed their
dear ones for the last long rest, that
they knew she was the one likely TO
perform that Office for themselves. and
that fiower-like sweetness of hers had
to them something of the quality of the
flowers blossOming on graves.

London, Jan. 2O-Hidden away in a
corner of st. James place, a cul de sac in
the east end, stands a curious old red
brick building, the large open door of

impressive fragment of King Solomon s
wisdom that il is possible to imagine
There it is that the Jews of England
bring their numerous troubles and
grievances to be decided according to
the laws that have held sway for the
last 5000 years-laws which, even to
this day, are powerful enough and just
enough to bind one of this earths most
emotional people.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THE CALL TO REPUBLICANS.

The state central committee has is
sued a call to Republicans to prepare
to send delegates to the state conven-
ton, to be held for the purpose of piac-
Ing In nomination two candidates for
congress and two candidates for judge
OF the supreme court. They are sum
moned to meet ut Tacoma September II.
This is the extent of the authority Of
the state central committee. but Gus
tom has awarded IL the right to make
recommendations, which usually have
considerable weight. coming from the
delegated authority OF the party. al
though they are not necessarily bind
Ing.
The most important recommendation
made BY the committee this year is
that "all voters who are willing to sup
coming election he Invited 10 partici-
pate in the primaries This recon-
mendation should be acted upon
There was a serious difference of opin-
Ion between Republicans In the last ma
tional campaign. They were divided on
q national Issue. Men who agreed In all
other respects with Republican doctrine
found themselves at variance with their
party upon the money question. No
such question arises In q state cam
paign. and a Republican who stiil be-
lieves In free silver may consistently
vote Tor the state ticket II any of
those Republicans have become con-
WINGED that they were deceived by ap-
peafsnces and are now satisfied that
the cause Of the nations troubles was
not the crime of 70. but the departure
from Republican principles. IL Is the
more desirable that they should be
most cordially welcomed back to the
ranks.
There Is no reason why the Repub-
iioan party should not be successful at
the next election. Whatever difference
or opinion there may De as TO the merits
OF particular candidates, there can be-
no difference of opinion as to the be
ne'icent results Of Republican admin
issra'ion as compared with that of the
Democratic party and as compared with
what II would be upon the patchwork
platforms OF the fasionlsts. The Re
