We now declare our steadfasst devotion. That
remedy Is the enactment of law by the
congress, OF the United States providing for
the free and unlimited coinage of both gold

waiting for the aid or consent OF other ma

THE PROOF OF 1T.
"A kentucky Regiment Would Never

Kentucky Regiment Would Never
Drop Their Canteens.
The war correspondent, who had re-
turned from the scene Of action In Cuba
or who said he had, was giving the crowd
OF listeners a lurid account of a fight he
had witnessed on the skirmish line In the
vicinity of Sevilia. Everybody In the crowd
was taking the story right down without
the least sign of doubt as to its absolute
accuracy. until long. slim party with a
smooth face and a ruffied shirt front be-
came an interrogation after the facts.
Did l understand you to say it was a
kentucky battalion that had gone right up
the MIL over the brush and rocks in the
very muzzies of the enemy's guns?"
That's what" asserted the narrator
on the first jump"
You bet they did. They didn't want any
handicap In a race like that"
Ihen they threw away their coats2'
Indeed they did"
And their hats?"
They went into 1t bareheaded, like the
daredevils they were"
And dropped their cartridge belts?''
Every one of them. and went for the
foe with their cold bayonets."
And their canteens?"
Everything. By George, they went into
the scrap stripped like prize fighters"
The smooth-faced man coughed and
shuffied his chair.
That's all right" he said, firmly "They
were not Kentucklans. That's their style
of fighting but you can bet a farm that
kentuckians never would have thrown
their canteens away"

ONE KIND OF SUMMER GIRL.
1t Wns Her Engagement Ring That
Made Him Shudder.


She was jaunty of air, with a twisted
cord of the national colors flying from her
white parasol, and she wore white gown
with a blue sash about her trim waist
and a red bow at her white throat
1t was patriotism and prettiness in most
delrious and delightful combination, and
yet the young man shuddered.
WHAT'S the matter with you?" inquired
the elderly party with him, whose eyes
were crossed trying to follow the vision Of
loneliness around the corner.
That girl he responded. "By love,
he hurried on to explain, '"she beats the
kind Of summer girl you read about in the
comic papers 1 saw her two days ago and
as early in the season as it is she had on
what she called her summer engagement
ring 1t was cluster
Didn't know" interrupted the elderly
party. that engagement rings came in
clusters. Thought they were solitaires"
Not the summer kind" explained the
young man. "A summer girl has so many
engagements, you know, that she has to
wear cluster ring. See? Well, this one
wears that kind of a one and she has let
ity show itself in it-not to say a strain
of cruelty no kind of women except f1irts
possess. Her ring shows a ruby, dis.
monds and sapphires. the red white and
blue. So much for patriotism. For the
sentiment the diamonds are for the fell
lows who will not or have not gone into
the war: the sapphires are the fellows
who have donned the blue, and the ruby
since he enlisted. Either shot by the
enemy or killed by accident, don't know
for when she told me of it, and turned the
ring my way. I'll be blamed If somehow
1t didn't give me the creeps and 1 couldn't
ask her any more about it," and again the
young man Shuddered.

ItGwas a time for reminiscing, and 1t

When 1 was twenty years, DID, said "a
veteran Of many dollars, II was working
on a farm IN Massachusetts not far from
Springfield, where lived pretty little girl
poor as was, the daughter of q, Metho-
dist minister, with whom 1 was desper-
ately in love. One day, under the shade of
a big tree in the church yard, l told her
how much there was in my heart and how
little there was in my pocket, and asked
her to marry me. She was seventeen and
silly, and she consented on the spot. For
an hour more after that we sat I'M
der the tree talking over the fair and fool
ish things that lovers dream, when 1t oc-
CURED to me that an engagement ring was
the correct thing for such an occasion,
and began bemoaning the poverty which
prevented my getting one for the dearest
hand on earth 1t was absolutely true, too,
for really did not have enough money TO
buy tin ring, much less the only kind L
thought jamie ought to have. But jamie
didn't care for the ring She said we ought
to thank Providence that we had each
other, and let the old ring go. She was
on the point of saying more, when she
stopped suddenly, gave a little scream and
pointed to something bright in her lap. I
looked. and there lay a pretty gold ring
with small diamond flashing greeting
to US. At first We were afraid to touch it,
but we soon got over that, and as we look
ed 1t over We wondered where 1t had come
from. and though We knew that the days
OF miracles had passed, we were both in
cl1ned to think it was q blessing from
heaven on our sweet and pure love-
There was no one in the tree to have
dropped 1t as a joke, but as 1t could NOT
have reached us by any way other than
from above We proceeded to search the
tree. Nothing could be seen from the
ground and l climbed up and there. over
In the fork above us, high up, 1 found a
birds nest building and knew that the
builders had picked the ring up somewhere
FOR various bits of colored ribbon and ra pS
huttered about the nest. One of these
pieces of silk jamie recognized as the trim
ming OF ladys gown who came to see her
mother, and we decided at once that 1t was
right to see If 1t belonged to the lady.
Th1ther We went, happy as two children
ana jamie went in and / waited outside
PRESENTLY she called me In, and when 7
mad, with many bushes, told the story of
the ring, the lady gave 1t to me and said
tnat II was now mine to do with as I
pleased. She hoped I would not forget
those who had been my friends when I had
no diamonds, and then, right there before
the lady had never seen before 1 slipned
the ring on JAMES finger and kissed her
AS soon as had done that the lady kissed
JAMIE, and I'll be shot II she didn't kiss
me, too, and as we went out there were
tears In her eyes giistening like the dia.
