| exaltation and relief that lit your
beautiful girl-face and seemed to say:

''Sir, you forget yourself!"
'Well, I'll never forget myself again
in the same way if | can help it. On
that occasion L couldn't help it, owing
to the irresistible girl and the subtle
influence of love as inspired by her.

But then the luncheon will be to-mor-
row, and 1 suppose I'll have to go out
and purchase few pounds of harps."
"Harps, harps-why, what do you
mean by harps?" he inquired.
Suburban chops that are all strings" /"
she replied, softly. "And I think it is
just too mean for anything that you
went and forgot those birds. suppose

badly trimmed, raggedy-oh, OH" she
almost sobbed.
You will be all safe, though" re-
Piled her husband, cheeringly, $50 long
as you have such lovely ware to serve
the chops on. These Jones-Brown-
Smiths are ultra-swells, and as such
will never consider the food so long as
the ware is rich and artistic. Now, the
chops will cost fifty cents, while the
quail would cost three dollars"
"Yes," she replied, with woman's
intuition, ''and then?"
Then buy the chops in the same
spirit that you bought the gloves; you
will thereby save two dollars and a
half, with which I can buy long-need-
ed briar pipe in which to smoke the to-
bacco / am to purchase with the gold
you saved on the glove deal"
Before she could send home the
Parthian arrow she was fitting to the
string, the conductor thrust his head
roughly through the door and shouted:
"Mosquitohurst!"
Then they stepped off and went home.
After they were comfortably seated in
the library awaiting the announcement
of dinner, he said:
Sand now, please show me your
gloves, my dear, and then tie the string
around my finger, if you want me to
remember anything tomorrow"

her foot down spunkily, 81 have gone

MARK HANNA'S REBUKE,
The Ohio Boss Has an Eye to the
Financial End of the Ex-
pansiOn Business.

Senator Mark Hanna, of Ohio, who
runs the republican party on a strictly
syndicate basis, is not in sympathy with
those Americans who deplore the sur
render of American principles that will
be necessary if the imperialist idea is
to prevail. He characterizes the pro-
tests of these persons as rot"
To Mark Hanna all ideas are rot
that are not founded on the love of
money and the desire and determination
to accumulate money. 1t is not in the
man to comprehend the meaning of such
things as patriotism or unselfish devo-
tion to high ideals or faithfulness to
the right for rights sake. At the end
of every vista of life that opens to his
ferred by the dollar:
1t was as the representative of money
not principle or party-that Hanna
took charge of Mr.. McKinley's cam
paign for the presidency. 1t was upon
q money foundation that he organized
the influences which brought about Mr.
McKinley's election. 1t was with an eye
strictly to the money side of every pub
lie question that he dictated the McKin-
ley policy and directed the Mckinley
administration of national affairs. To
Mark Hanna there is but one appeal
possible from any phase of the duty OF
government-whati is there in it for the
syndicated governors?
Hanna opposed the war with Spain,
because to him it seemed absurd that
the financial chances of war should be
assumed for such Utopian idea as that
of helping another people to national
independence. The destruction of the
Maine aroused no throb in his bosom
beyond that of a businesslike regret
that $4,000, 900 should thus have gone up
in smoke. But now that war has been
followed by victory he sees the spoils
of war and his soul yearns for them.
He is syndicating Cuba as he has syn
dicated the United States. If he has his
way Cuba will not even now be freed
until the syndicates have milked her
dry. He believes in holding the Philip
pines because there is money in 1.-THE
territory is rich and fertile and the ma
tives work for small wages. Opposition
to expansion is rot" because it would
deprive the syndicates of big profit
coming from the grabbing of other peo-
ple's land.
The time has not yet come for the
American people to be led by men like
Mark Hanna. A faithful adherence tc
the Monroe doctrine may seem rot tc
him, but it looks like duty to the Ameri
can people. Loyalty to the principles
laid down by the patriot founders OF
this government is rot" to Mark Han
ma, but it stands for the right to Ameri-
cans worthy of such a government
The time will soon arrive when Mark
Hanna must retire from public life and
resume in private his chase of the al
mighty dollar. He has degraded Ameri-
can standards and polluted American
politics long enough.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Reginald Jones-Brown-Smith are COM
ing out to luncheon tomorrow, and
what am 1 going to do?"
Il should think" he responded, with
a philosophic smile, that when these
people hitch their various names to-
gether in that way, linked sausage

dear, because you never forget, and to

satisfied, inquiring gaze.

A M'KINLEY WAR.
An UnhOIy Strife SignaIized Through.
out by BIunders and
BIOOdshed.

Suppose that any body year ago had
proposed as the deliberate policy of the
United States that we should send So
900 to $4,000 troops to the Philippines
and fight the natives to the death? Sup
pose that any man had laid such a pro-
posal before congress? Would it not
have been rejected with hooting?
Would not any political leader urging
it have been thought mad? Why, then,
are we now asked to consent in silence
to a policy which the whole country a
twelvemonth since would have thought
monstrous? Nothing has really hap
pened to make us change our minds
about the abhorrent ma ture of the work
our troops are set to do in the Philip
pines. Even Gov. Roosevelt must be
having inward qualms, for he exclaimed
the other day: ''Woe to the man who
makes this nation an oppressor!" But
he and all the other knucklersdown to
Mckinley are saying that, distasteful
as the business is,we have put our hands
to it and must finish it. This is the
devils own argument. Having begun
with blunders and bloodshed, we must
60 on in that way to the bitter end.
What, have we put our hand to the
plow, and shall we look back? But if
our hand had no business on that plow
the sooner we take it off the better.
Almost everybody admits-many Nc
kinleyites are admitting-that the
fighting with the Filipinos was unnec-
essary; that our rela ations with them
were shockingly mismanaged. But
must we go on heaping mismanagement
on mismanagement? For our part, we
assert that there is no reason to-day
for regarding war of conquest in the
Philippines any differently from the
way we should have regarded it a year
ago; and if it was duty then to avert
war by peaceful negotiations it is
duty now to stop it in the same way.
How long is the country to be sacri-
feed on the altar of Mr. McKinley's
silly pride of consistency ?-N. Y. Post.

PROSPERITY DISCOVERED.
Found to BE Not Wave, But to
Ha re Appeared Only in
StreaISs.

The peipleXing mystery about the
trend of prosperity in the east has
been explained. In common with the
major part OF the American people, we
have earnestly endeavored to determine
the course of the ''Wave" alleged to
be sweeping over the eastern states.
The agricultural laborers of the south
emphatically declare that they have
seen nothing of it, Canada reports that
it has not crossed the border, and plen-
ty of afjidavits can be had as evil
dence that no indication of it has APP
peared on the Pacific slope. From d.
vers and sundry points in ne east, how
ever, the news constantly comes that
people who cannot swim are obliged to
climb upon the high seas in order to
avoid being overwhelmed.
We now discover that there has been
a great deal of misreporting about the
manifestations of present prosperity.
1t is a misnomer to call it ''wave."
That blunder in characterization ac-
counts for all the mystery about its
course and is responsible for the diff
Guilty in locating it in any considerable
areas. Instead of appearing as a wave,

A Matter of Memory
BY R. X. MUNKITTRlCK.

Q HE had been on a shopping tour
y since morning, and therefore
seemed very happy when she joined
her husband on the home-bound even
ing train. After they were comfortably
seated she said, with great vivacity:
81 struck a great bargain in gloves to-
day. Now, what do you think, 1 got
three pairs of dollar and a quarter
gloves for two dollars. L can't undo
the parcel here, but when we get home
I'll show them to you, and you'll just
open your eyes"
The husband smiled at her girlish
enthusiasm, when she suddenly asked:
did you order the quail to be sent
out from the market?"
'Great Scott!" he replied, in sort
of hysterical confusion, II forgot all
about it,"
She almost glared at him in her sud-
den chagrin and disappointment.

A Three Years, Deficit.

The first two years of the Mckinley
administration showed a deficit of rev
enue as compared with expenditures.
This was explained by saying that the
Dingley tariff had not got into full op-
GRAFTON, and the prediction was added
that the next year it would be all right
But the next year the deficit continued
to roll up until the Spanish war came
along and there was a lucky chance to
even things up by clapping on war
taxes This was done, and the war
revenue bill was contrived to supple
ment the deficiencies of the DingIey
tariff bill, while professedly designed
only to meet the extraordinary ex-
penses of the war. For time it seemed
as if the result would be attained, and
from Washington were sent out con-
gratulations upon the wonderful sue
cess of the Mckinley financial policy.
But the end Of the second Mckinley
year also showed a deficit, and that was
explained by laying it to the war. Pret
ty soon the war came to an end, and
Washington INDUCED in predictions Of
a surplus. But the cost of fighting the
cause of benevolent assimilation falsi
fed this prediction, the deficit began to
loom up again, and to-day the third
year of the Mckinley regime promises
to make as bad a showing as either of
those which have preceded it.=Boston

BLOW Your Own Horn.

Mr.. Dooley says that "a man who
has grudge against himself can
never be Governor. Likewise the
business man who has a grudge
against himself can never be a com
mercial or industrial magnate, nor
become even moderately prominent.
He who wants to succeed in anything
should help himself. He should not
hesitate to speak we'll of himself and
his affairs, and must be able to do so
truthfully. The man with grudge
against himself keeps in the back
ground, and even there shades his
eyes from the light that Eliminates
the way to success. The man who
blows his own horn, within reasona-
BILE limitations, is the man who wins.

MARYLAND Roads.

The Maryland Geological Survey,
under Prof. William Bullock Clark,
of the Hopkins, has already performed
admirable service to the State in
exhibits of its natural resources and
mineral wealth But it is doubtful
whether any department of this
bureau will be of greater practical
valu= than that of public highways.
1t is announced that a volume treat
ing of the roads Of Maryland will
shortly be published. This volume
will give the history of road making
in the State, describe the material for
roadbeds which is available and show
how roads should be made. The eX-
perts employed in the service have
made actual personal ivestigation and
inspection, and their efforts will no
doubt be appreciated as they deserve
to be. There has been great eX-
penditure of money in annual re-
pairs, but it has usually been ex-
pended by unframed and inexpert
men, who use improper and useless
material when better is, perhaps,
within reach The waste and cost of
bad roads is one of the greatest drains
upon the industry and wealth of this
and other States.
The people of the tidewater coun-
ties, who have been provided by ma
ture with splendid waterways to
market, can scarcely appreciate the
Importance of roads and canals to
people separated by mountains from
their nearest market. 1t was the i'm
possibility of getting their corn to
market which gave rise to the great
distilling industry in Western Mary
land and Pennsylvania many years
ago. The building of the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Pennsylvania rail
roads and of the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal were great national events,
having political as we'll as industrial
Importance. The History of the old
national turnpike, with its extension
from Cumberland to Baltimore, built
largely by the State banks, is rom
ance. 1t was for many years tle
great highway connecting the Allan
tic seaboard and the National Capital
with the Mississippi valley, teeming
with the traffic brought to Wheeling
by boats on the Ohio river. Over
this road there was a constant pro
cession of great wagons loaded witt
flour, bacon and whisky and drove'
of cattle, sheep and swine. Passen
ger coaches travelled night and da!
at what, in those days, was L grea
speed. Roadside inns and FORCES wer'
close together. The road is associ
ated with many of the great name
in our history. Over it rode Andrey
Jackson and William Henry Harrison
and Zachary Taylor when they cam
to be inaugurated as Presidents
Henry Clay and Thomas Hart Ben
ton for many years travelled this roaC
Q Over it came Davy Crockett and Sal
e Houston, Santa Anna and Blac

e old highway has history. 1t is tn
