Susan b. Anthony's Arrest.

Susan B. Anthony announces that
she will attend the international coun-
Gil of women in London next June.
says the Philadelphia Post. Miss An
thony is nearly so years old, and this
will be her second visit abroad. Her
first was in 1883, and it was attended
by an incident which she is very fond
of relating At that time, as now, the
motto of the woman suffraglsts was
mo taxation without representation u
Miss Anthony had this printed on her
envelopes and while in Berlin she
mailed a letter in one of these in
scribed covers to friend at home
The declaration was regarded by the
Berlin police as being contrary to law
and she was promptly arrested. 1t re-
quired the entire power of the Amer
lean minister and the consul general
to secure her release. There is nc
danger of such an event marring her
forthcoming visit, however, as Eng
land looks upon all kinds of fads with
generous eyes. Miss Anthony lives
with her two maiden sisters, Mary
and Lucy. in the old Anthony home
stead in Rochester, N. Y.

Trolleys In Pekin.

1t is likely that there will be a troll
ley road in Pekin and another in Seoul,
Corea, before there is one in London.
track is already laid in Seoul and the
cars have been shipped. 1t was ex.
pected that the road would be put in
operation by the 1st of June, and it is
probably running now, unless some
thing has happened to delay matters.
Work was commenced on the track in
.Pekin about the LIST of January The
rails had arrived and also the ties,
which were brought all the way from
Oregon. The ears had been ordered
and the power house was in course of
erection. The line of the Pelfin road
will be quite circuitous and traverse
nearly all of the principal streets Of the
city. All the material for both these
roads comes from the United States.

After all, they were so young.
And you expect me to go away aiter

cried. drawing herself up proudly.
"Ah, give me the right" he said. u
cannot go away without you, and leave
you here to do this sort of work. This
hospital life is unfit for you-it is
wearing you out"
"Mr. Blakeslee, you do not know
what you are asking. I've taken up this
work against the advice and wishes OF
my family and friends. To give 1t up
now would be to acknowledge my fall

your country needs you"
mo one else does, evidently he
said. bitterly. well. goodby, little girl,
and God bless you" And without an
other word he left the room.
The young officer strobe along the
echoing corridors with hasty steps. HIS
heart was hot within him and he was
ashamed to find tears in his eyes.
But when he reached the great
doorway he hesitated.
Once outside and he had left her be-
hind him forerer. He could not leave
her this way. Without word OF
thanks for the tender nursing she had
given him. She must not think him
ungrateful.
Swiftly he turned and retraced his
steps.

had lain SO long was partly closed
when he reached 1t. What II she mad

With a beating heart he pushed the
door open softly and went in.
And there she was-the stout-hearted
young woman who had SO bravely sent

kept to hers, with her head on the pill
low-his pillow-crying her heart out,
Just like any other unhappy girl.

AMERICAN POTTERY.

Rookwood.

lockwood.
American pottery has few peers IN
these days OF Souwelsa and lockwood
and the pale, pearly, exquisitely tinted
glaze ware shown in such graceful de-
signs, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. The Souwelsa is first cou-
sin to Rookwood, but poor relation,
as it costs about half as much as do
the symphonies in polished green's and
browns. 1t has the same finish. the
same designs and tones. but seems to
lack the richness Of Rookwood, al
though the difference would not be per-
ceptible to the person perfectly sane
on the question Of bric-a-brac. The
enthusiast can tell the difference in
the dark, she says. The pale-tinted
American pottery is highly polished
and the flowers of the decoration seem
to bloom mistily through the glaze, like
flowers seen through frosty window
pane. A hgh-shouldered jar Of this
ware is softly shaded from palest blue
at the top, where it forms back
ground for graceful rose-hued iris.

stand out deicately against the misty

gray as he lay helpless in the grasp OF
that terrible fever-the insidious,
treacherous. deadly fever Of the trop-

He came to watch for this dainty
vision, and sometimes in his fevered
dreams he would see it when 1t was
not there, always bending toward him
with smile of divine pity on the
sweet lips.
He could see 1t now. though his
back was turned to the girl busy at
the table, and he gave an inward
groan as he remembered that soon he
would see it no more, except in
dreams.
No one knew what that face had
grown to be to him in the past few
weeks. No one should ever know, he
resolved, with little tightening of the
lips, as he turned from the window.

with rather unsuccessful sarcasm.
