wEYLER's MARRIAGE.
A Romantic story OF the spanish Cea.
erals Schoolgirl Sweet
henri.

The pretty story told of Gen. Wey-
lers marriage has caused certain
amount of admiration for one side OF his
character to awaken in the minds oi
those who have heard 1t. 1t Is told by
one who claims to have learned II when
connected with those who are friendly
TO Don Carlos.
The story goes that when Weyief
held the rank Of lieutenant colonel,
commanding an important infantry
| he met a young girl of most
humble parentage, but Of great beauty
of person and character
The young soldier fell seriously Ia
love with her, and as his affection was
returned and he had no sympathy with
Don Juan manner of eourtship, he
determined TO marry the girl. He did
mot make known his intentions to his
family, knowing that objections TO The
union would be raised, not only because
Of the origin of his bride, but because
Of her lamentable lack Of education
On certain day he invited a number
Of his brother officers to meet him at
the door Of church he named, and, as
he was much beloved, his request, Ike
all those he made, was responded TO
with alacrity.
When he arrived at the time indi-
:ated he explained that he was about
TO marry, and gave the reason for the
celebration being conducted in partly
secret way, asking bis friends to act as
The witnesses OF his conduct on that
occasion. This they agreed TO, but we're
amazed when, after the ceremony, he
asked them to follow him and his bride,
and led the way to convent in the
neighborhood.
AT the door he gave his young wife
into the care of the superior and left
her. Turning to his friends, he ex-
p,ained that her need Of acquiring an
education before he could present her
TO his family or ask the members OF
their own TO meet her had induced him
TO pursue this course,
The girl remained two years as a
pupil at the convent before she took the
place at her husbands side which she
has since so ably filled.--London Tele-

MANY LIVES RUINED.
Why Brght Young Men Should De-
cline to Enter Politics.
Very Few Men in Public Life Are
Happy or Even Have GIImpseH
Of Happiness In the
Future.
Especial washington Lstterl

Every two years, when the congresses
expire, we witness the departure Of
friends, many Of them never 10 be seen
again, for when the congressman go
back TO private life they seldom have
opportunity to enter it again.
One young man, who has been in the
house of representatives for six years,
to-day referred TO his retirement pa
thetieally, saying: Il am only IS years
old, and my future is behind me II

gress. have spent six years of my
life uselessly. They are gone, and they
have been empty years.
''0f course, if / could have been re-
elected for another term ! might have
amounted to something. But il takes
at least six years of hard work for a
nan TO secure recognition and be re-
garded in the house of representatives
as fixture. After that it is all smooth
sailing, because the other old members
gather around the fellows who are ex-
pected to stay, and they give up good
committee places and extend legislative
courtesies which new members cannot
obtain, and for which they have no
hope.
But could not gain the coveted
fourth term. / was left at the polls

nomination in 1900, and if l get it
shall make as strong fight as possible,
knowing that if win / will be fixed
solidly in my district. That is the
only hope for me now, and that l hope
/ shall diligently pursue"
Poor fellow! He is now pursuing an
ignis fatuus. He will waste another
two years of his life seeking TO return
to congress; and he will be disappoint'
ed When the people turn down young
man they do it intentionally, and usual
ly permanently. This young man has
usually but one show out of tho1
sand to get back, and so enamored Of
congressional life is he that he vii
take that one chance, be defeated ant
then live on regarding his life as {
wreck. But if he were to drop politics
and go TO work in his profession, the
law, he might achieve distinction ant
win fortune, because he has more thar
ordinary ability and educational ac
quirements.
He is poor, and has within a couple ol
years taken unto himself a wife, sc
that he cannot afford to invest all Oi
his earnings in the political rattle II
is possible that his wife may wean him
from the political ambition which leads
him and lures him to the tempting OF
fate. In her success will be his only
hope Of future success and happiness.
But there is another man in congress
about to retire, who views the matter
differently. 1t is Hon. Sam NJ. Clark
Of Keokuk, Ia, who says: 81 have oi
late years been glad that ! was unable
to come TO congress when | was young
man. At that time, 30 years ago, my
ambitions were checked; older ant
abler politicians turned me down, ant
hence was obliged to remain at home
Since reaching mature age | have
looked back with complacency upor
The Southern herald., 1899-03-24

that result If had been sent 10 con-
gress 80 years ago ! would have been
given a couple of terms, and then !
would have been left at home, because
that is the custom Of the country. In
that event should have spent the past
80 years bewailing my fate, and secret
ly abusing the people for not keeping
me to the front where l might have
achieved distinction
But the people were kind TO me;
kinder than they knew. They kept me
in congress until l was 81 years old, and
then they gave me four years in the ma
tional house of representatives Thus
l round out my career in a gratifying
manner 1t is much better to receive
honors later in life, because they are
the more appreciated, after having been
so long withheld"
What a world of philosophy of life
there is in the contrast of the expert
ences of the young man and the OLD man
who come TO congress. In these two ex-
periences the reader may see the folly
and wisdom of politics. Here is a young
man whose future is clouded with
gloom. Here is a mature man whose fu-
ture is lighted with the rainbow hues of
content.
One morning as Congressman Dolli-
yer, Iowa's noted orator, was coming
east on an express train, Senator Elkins,
the millionaire senator from West yir-
ginia. entered the same car and en-
gagged the western man in conversation.
Finally he said "Dolliyer, why do you
remain in congress as apoor man2 You

"There's no mistake about it," said
Bill Gregory.
The three men sat in sad reflection
for several moments and were then
aroused by the slamming of the front
door. Wesley Cooper came in, stamp
ing the snow from his boots, and
walked back toward the stove, pulling
off his buck gloves.
"How are you?" he asked, joyially,
not knowing that he had come upon the
little group in very solemn moment.
They nodded to him without speak
ing, and he put his back to the stove
and warmed himself.
HE was one Of the best workers we
ever had in the lodge" said Uncle Ed,
finally, taking up the conversation
again. "He was always willing to do
his share if there was any"
"Who's that you're talkin' about?"
asked Wesley, interruptlng.

BLIND BoB's" GRATITUDE.
Donation of One Thousand Dollars to
the Odd Fellows Home at
Thermalito

Several years ago Robert Sargentson, a
member of Kernville Lodge No 251, hide
pendent Order Of Odd Fellows of Kern
vile, Kern County, had the misfortune to
lose the sight of his eyes by an eXplo-
sion. His lodge cared for him, as all
lodges of the order do when member is
afflicted, and continued to do so to the
limit of its financial ability. but there
came time when that lodge was unable
to continue its existence, and it appealed
TO the relief committee for assistance.
This body cheerfully took up the burden
and continued to give relief until some
time ago, when by one of those sudden
changes in the fortunes of men there was
one in favor of Sargentson, who was
known in the order as Blind Bob and
he realized upon what many years before
he thought was a very poor investment.
Recently he passed away, his remains
were laid at rest by the odd Fellows and
it was then learned that he had. in graf
itude for all the kindness shown him in
his affection, left by will the sum of $1,000
to the Odd Fellows Home at Thermalito,
to be used for the benefit of those aged
members of the order who turn to that
haven when they are no longer able to
battle with the world.

GERMAN COMMENT
ON THE ARENS CASE
Liberal Papers Support the Action of
the Faculty in Dismissing
the Matter

BERLIN, July 29.-The press of Berlin
devotes much attention to the Arens case.
DR.. Arens is a professor who lectured on
physics in the Berlin University and is a
social democrat. whose presence in the
university has given great offense to all
favorable to drastic measures for COM
batting socialism. The Diet passed a law
a year ago, called by the press the Arens
law, making it possible for the Govern
ment to proceed against and dismiss So
cialist professors. Under this the philo-
sophical faculty a week ago tried Profess
sor Arens and unanimously declared that
they saw no occasion to take action.
The states attorney appealed the case
to the Ministry. who, it is regarded GER
tain. will dismiss Professor Arens. The
papers of all parties discuss the case
at great length. The Isan-German
Deutsche Zeitung says the faculty Of Ber-
lin University has shown the same in
capacity for consideration of the state
affairs that was shown by some profess
sors in treating the Danish question last
The Kreuz Zeitung reproaches the fac
ulty with holding that social democrats
should be treated on an equal footing with
other parties and formulates the attitude
of the conservatives as follows
1T is impossible to treat party that
declares war upon the state and the ex-
listing order as having the same political
rights as other parties.
The Dresdener Nachrichten re-echoes
this sentiment, adding that the days of
political equality for socialists is against
public welfare and hence it is the duty
of Judges everywhere to take into account
this fact in the administration of justice.
The liberal papers side with the faculty,
holding that their decision was the only
one consistent with the freedom of uni
versity instruction. The Centrist press
defends the faculty on the ground that
Professor Arens as professor of physics
does not handle the question of socialism
in his lecture.
