Iature and the corps of Republican ex-
officeholders, headed by former Gov
ernor Hastings, who have been CO.
operating with the Democracy for the
last two years.
How many of them will follow the
advice from this Greasy organ and "go
squarely over" to the Democratic
party?
PASSING OF M'MANES.
The death of James McManes, the
veteran Republican leader, was part
of the history of the last week. In
earlier days his political power in
Philadelphia was great. He made and
unmade candidates for Office. and he
was ever in the thick Of the fight. He
will be remembered for his executive
ability as LEADER and nkow that old
animosities have been forgotten, there
will be few even among those who
fought him hardest who will not say
kind word for him.
ROOSEVELT A STALWART.
A most conspicuous case in recent
years is that of Theodore Roosevelt,
who, while undoubtedly a sincere re-
former, was quick to realize that he
could accomplish most good through
the medium of the Republican organ
ization to which he owed allegiance.
While some of the notoriety seekingre-
formers who have never accomplished
anything practical, are still maligning
Senator Plat in the Empire state.
Roosevelt has, with Platts aid, brought
about many reforms in the govern
ment of New York state. He has found
that Platt is not half as bad as the pro-
fessional reformers would have the
people believe and that his services
can frequently be utilized to the ad-
vantage of the citizens of his native
state.
The men who are waging war upon
Colonel Quay in this state are also,
through the Wanamaker newspapers
of Philadelphia. attacking Senator Platt
of New York and Senator Hanna of
Ohio, and they find nothing good to
commend in the administration of
President Mckinley. Editorial as
saults upon the Mckinley administra.
tion are becoming quite as conspicuous
and as frequent as attacks upon COL
onel Quay, and Senators Platt and
Hanna are roasted almost every day.
How these men can expect Republicans
to follow their selfish and insurgent
leadership. when the welfare of the
Republican party in the country de-
mands that there shall be harmoni-
GUS organization to start the battles OF
next year. is mystery to practical
minds

the recreant domestics in the dwarf
kitchen The dainty little luncheon,
the mayonnaise, the chicken outlets,
the pomade and salad were all gather
ed for the coming of the lion from the
west. Then Ella swept in. Her pretty
face was pale, something like tear
dimmed her blue eyes. Napoleon had
lost her domestic Waterloo.
"Wen?" Cation asked, impatiently.
"It is anything but WELL" Ella re-
piled, with the calmness of. despair.
"They were both extremely insolent
and l had to be quite firm. The conse-
quence is that they are both going, the
first thing in the morning.
Gallon groaned. Many husbands
would have promptly laid the blame
upon the wife; but the glamour of the
honeymoon was still upon them both.
And Beck is coming" Cation con-
Guided what shall we do? Can you
get anybody else? To put him off

sible."

meekly, that you might ask the
girls
mo, I don't" Ella said crisply," es-
pecially after the way they spoke to
me. If you'd been there you would
have sent them away now"
Cation advanced no further in that
direction. He had poor idea of using
other people at the sacrifice of personal
pride. There was only one thing to do
under the circumstances, and that he
did-he laughed. Ella smiled also. She
had pretty sense of humor and a
sweet audacity, which was by no means
the least of her charms

Beck know you are married."

hope beat high.
Mr.. Beck was an American million
ARE for taste for literature. A man
of culture and education, he had settl-
ed down in England, where he had pur-
chased a big newspaper or two plus a
trio Of magazines, over which he was
delighted to lose no more than 6 500
month. Certes, no journals were bet
ter served or "got up than his. Beck
was queer, cranky kind of man, whose
plentiful milk of human kindness was
soured by the polluting stream of
chronic dyspepsia, but where he took
Beck was friend indeed.
Gallon had great hopes in this quar-
ter. Beck had told him personally that
the editorship of the British Monthly
would soon be vacant and, incidentally,
that Shines, the present man, got $500
year. Cation asked boldly for the ap-
pointment. But Beck could promise
nothing. '1'll see," he responded, play
ing, as he did necessarily, with the big
intaglio ring on his little finger. mo

On the 'Diana?' Tell you what; I'll
come there and lunch with you on Fri
day and we will try and fix up things"
Needless to say, Gallon jumped at the
sent moment and he would know his
fate Tomorrow was the pregnant
Friday. He forgot all about Ella and

my dearest girl, / won't say no to
any way out Of the difficulty. Once we
get tomorrow over don't care. If
necessary we could do the work OF

out trumps, why, we shall have to
give up the Diana in any case"
'sThen make your mind easy" Ella
laughed. Everything shall go as mer-
rily as the proverbial marriage bell"
By slow degrees the cabin of the Di-

By the time Cation had consumed
three cigarettes on the roof, the table

questions. And now l am going to

Half an hour passed before the sum-
mons came.
AS Cation passed into the cabin his
eyes dilated with establishment Be-

idol of his dreams. The golden glossy

Hemly will know what to do SIR
The two sons of Mars sneaked out of
the kitchen and over the side into the
boat awaiting them. Then they
splashed off in the darkness, cursing
each other with mutual heartiness.
you'd better go and see those
girls" Gallon remarked to his wife.
Put your foot down, Ella, and don't
stand any nonsense"
Cation swung into the cabin and
lighted a cigarette. For the first time
during his tenancy of the Diana he
felt a little disenchanted. When Jones,
his rich stock broker friend, had Offer
ed him the loan Of the boat for a cou
pie of months he had accepted almost
with rapture. A life like that on the
broad bosom of the river in leafy June
and languid July was an ideal one for
a novelist just making his way to the
front. There was another reason also
why the offer was accepted with alac-
rity. There is no exchequer that fiuc-
tuates more than that of the average
literary man, and slump" in letters
had brought Gallon to a sense of the
folly of living up to the top of his in
come.
Therefore the pretty little house at
Crouch End had been let furnished for
a time, and cook and Emily transfer
red to the Diana" There were scores
of other households close by, and many
attractions chez Pangbourne, which &C.
counted for the backsliding of the do
mestics and the feasting of her majes-
tvs soldiery. Gallon began to wish
himself well out OF it.
If | and Beck come to terms" he
muttered, I'm shuck this. I'm getting
tired of sleeping with my feet in the
river and my head in the bookcase"

The sound of a banjo badly played
carried on the river air. 1t was just
possible to CLEAN the fact that the UNI

rection of Tommy Atkins The au-

the latter.

information that it was not there. Ella.
