have conscientiously cultivated them in
that position because his revered moth

Perhaps an unquestioning acceptance
of life as cut out for us by our forbears
makes for serenity. Something certainly
made for it in that squat little house
with its rigid oleanders growing in ugly
green tubs.
1t may have been the sunshine that
came In unchecked at every door and
window; it may have been the blithe
presence Of Potts two girls fresh from
school; 1t may have been the undimmed
eye and sweet nature Of little Potts
himself-at any rate 1t was there, al
ways there and the dropping Of night
and the splashing Of rain on the old shin.

it. It was good, wholesome article Of
home manufacture, warranted to stand
any amount Of wear and tear.
When his sister, Miss Melanie Potts.
flung herself into a chair with that en-
phatic WE'LL" Mr. Potts laid down the
morning paper. which be always read
when he came home to his 8 o'clock
dinner, Miss Julia Potts swung briskly
around on the piano stool and Miss
Olivia Potts checked the whirring wheel
of her sewing machine.
Miss Melanie preserved tantalizing
silence while she smoothed out the fin
gers of her black taffeta gloves. She had
the important air Of one who considered
her news well worth waiting for. "Well,
if haven't just been surprised half out
of my senses" she said finally, settling
herself comfortably to the task Of mar.

most natural that I should want to
know how she looked"
"Yes-why, yes-of course; nothing
more natural. But, you see, my dear,
the fact is she seldom left home, and
there are no pictorial facilities on an
out of the way cotton plantation. You
will understand better after you have
lived here some time how much easier
it is to do without things than to scram-
BILE for them"
"Why don't you ever talk to me
about her, father? You seem to have
forgotten her entirely"
"Oh, no. by no means"
And then the colonel wrenohed tho
conversation into another channel SO
resolutely that Jessica sighed and got
up to give him his good night kiss.
''For some reason" she said to her
self, che does not want to talk to me
about my mother" and the veil that
hung between them seemed very pal.

She would have been either more or

simple and happy reoeptivity.

"Who's Mr.. Wordsworth" little Pott
asked parenthetically.
Miss Melanie cast mildly rebuking
eyes in his direction:
Nov, brother, he Is the new minis
ter we have called from Memphis"
"Ohl Well?'
"Well, he came to tho meeting him
self and was just as sociable as could be-
He came down on the Red Wing, and
he says they had q dreadful time. He
was just chock full of most outrageous
thing that happened on the boat. Reg.
inald Belknap has actually gambled
away his plantation to professional
gambler on the trip down."
"No3" said Mr.. Potts, aghast.
Eyes," said Miss Melanie stoutly,
"but Mr.. Molesworth astonished us
more than that by saying that he came
down the river with beautiful Miss
Basoom. He says she is the daughter of
our Colonel Bascom, but that can't be,
you know. Hs never was married
This was not exactly the way little
Potts had planned to tell his girls about
tho colonel's daughter, but it was out

AS to Imperialism.

Mr. Charles Gibson calls attention, in
an article in this mornings G. b e, to
some of the evils that are bound to
follow on an expansion Of the terrific
rial boundaries of the United States
50 as to include within the Union the
half -civilized or savage peoples occu-
plying the countries that have become,
for the nonce, subject to the American
flag.
Mr.. Gibson's argument goes far in
support of the contention that has
been made against the adoption Of the
policy of imperialism. The dangers
that threaten American institutions lie
largely in that fact that we cannot
assimilate the peoples over whom the
American flag would fly. This fact
will not be denied. In the United
States there are many different ma
tions represented, but there is a de-
cided homogeneity in the mass of the
population. The bringing of the mon
grel races Of the Pacific and the half
blCods Of the Antilles to the intellec-
tual and moral plane of the masses CT
the people Of the United States might
be accomplished in the course of CEN
turtles, but even that Is doubtful, for
they are generally decadent peoples;
races that have passed the rubicon Of
physical attainments. We would have
to make them better physically and
then educate them. This would be a
large order, even for the United States
There are people whom education will
kill For instance, the North Ameri-
can Indian.
Commercial expansion is in no way
allied to governmental expansion The
fl uits Of the Spanish war will be shown
early enough in the expansion of our
| commerce with the peoples whom we
have freed. Any scheme for territorial
| expansion that claims a philanthropic
motive may be suspected. Dewey did
not destroy the Spanish fleet at Cavite
| because he wanted to carry the educa-
tional and religious facilities Of the
United States to the Filipinos. The
United States has no mission" and
the idea Of commercial expansion must
be at once divorced from the heresy Of
I territorial acquisition.

MISS HILL RETIRES.

No Longer Desires to Become
"Daughter of the Confederacy."
BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. A special
from Richmond, Va, says: Miss Lucy
Lee Hill, daughter of Gen. A. P. Hill,
whose nomination as the new "Daugh-
ter of the Confederacy" stirred up a
tumult throughout the South on the
ground that there could never be a
successor to that title, has written a
letter to friend here in which she
says:
at has given me much pleasure to know
how many friends 1 have in this matter
Of the succession to- the title of the 'Daugh-
ter of the Confederaoy.' It Is an honor IN
sought by me nand with Gen. Gordon say
the title should die. with the original pos
SCISSOR Winnie Davis. There cannot always
be a daughter f the Confederacy, for / am
the last one Of generals daughters to be
born at that time, and with me 1t would end.
am content as I am, Confederate soldiers
daughter. You can understand how 1 feel
in regard to this matter. The notoriety of
it has worried me greatly. If could only
write you as feel you would see how keen
ly this affair of the daughter Of the Con-
federacy' has disturbed me. 1 appreciate
the fact that my friends sought thus to
honor my father through me, but 1t was a
mistaken kindness. 1 want you and through
you, the r. e. Lee camp, to know that the
whole affair has distressed me immeasurably
