"He is only a lath painted to look

proved by the singular success with
which the premier has conducted the

her enlightened protectorate of the

garded as a different power from what
she was when Lord Salisbury took the

It is pleasant to see man, or to hear
of a man, who breaches about dealing
considerably with employes-and then
practices it. The mayor Of Toledo is
a good representative of such preach
ers. Each year he mails to the en-
ployes of his manufacturing plant a
check of s per cent upon the wages
paid the workman that year. This. he
insists, is not gift, but recognition
Of faithful service, and the best meth
cd he yet knows of establishing truer
equilibrium between capital and labor.
1t is natural. therefore. that while
Mayor Jones talked and lived equality,
his own plurality in his election to
public Office should have been over
whelming.

It is not unworthy of notice that one
of the most serious disasters that have
befallen our troops in the Philippines
occurred to those who were going to
the relief of beleagured Spanish gar
rison. They were under no legal obli-
cation to go thither, the Spanish gov
ernment itself being responsible for
the safe withdrawal of all its men.
They went on the perilous expedition
at the simple call of humanity, more
ready to succor their late foes than
they would have been last year to
fight them. Such deed should go far
toward restoring friendly feeling in
the Spaniards toward this country.

1t is generally accepted that the
Porto Rican commission will recon-
mend the speedy establishment OF
territorial government in that de-
pendency. Self-government under the
United States constitution is a great
privilege, but those under the jurisdic-
tion OF our government who are fit for
It and deserve It can claim 1t as a
right. General Henry has stated that
the people of Porto Rico are abun-
dantly able to administer justice In
their own land, and this is relied upon
by the Porto Rican commissioners to
prove fitness for legislative autonomy.

ut first of stopping any further concern

low the window. Following its track
with my ewes, l observed that II was
carried along the face of the T6ison

that there was window open at the

was half-story lower than the Toison

high, sloping roof, the portion of the
building in which was appeared to be
a long and narrow terrace, with low
machicolated parapet running along
the edge. Thus If there were door

Not once in all the years Of their
married. life was Browning absent from
wife single day. AT home or on
their occasional journeys he was ever
with her, ready to protect her and wait
upon her. Often i'll and unable to leave
her room, he nursed her with the ten
derness OF a woman; cheering her in
her rconvalescence and stories and songs,
or reading to her for hours at a time,
MS he oft had done in the days before
their marriage. 1t was in his touching
thoughtfulness-in his little acts OF low
ing and unsolicited attention-that his
love for her was most truly shown. Oft
times would he rise early In the morn
ing, long ere the time for her awaken
ing, and Fastening forth into the gar
den or the fields, gather bunch Of
fragrant blossoms to place at her bed
side. that they might be the first reali-
ties OF life to greet her with their sun
shine and with their te nder messages of
love upon her return from the world Of
dreams. His every thought, his every
care, was of her-to add to the joy or
the comfort of her life; and many were
the means devised by his thoughtful
solicitude for the accomplishment Of his
loving purpose. To shield her delicate
eyes from the light he had placed in the
window of her room small shutter of
mica, SO arranged that the sunlight
might fall upon her table in subdued
and gentle radance.-Clifford Howard.

THE sKYLIGHr IN THE ro1soN DOR

THE SkYLIGHT IN THE TO1SON DOR
Once back in my room flung off my
cloak and took survey of my new
quarters. The room was long and low,
and situated in the topmost story of the
house. In one corner was settle COW
cred with faded brocade, whilst on
the other side there was a wardrobe
and few necessaries. The bed was
placed at the extreme end of the room,
and close to the window which over
looked the back of the house, and
through which from where stood the
blue sky alone was visible, there was
q table and n couple of chairs. Be
tween the table and the bed intervened
clear space, about ten feet by six,
covered with coarse carpeting. If l
am thus precise in my description,
would say I have done so in order to
explain clearly what follows.
So far things were satisfactory
enough, and beyond what had right
to expect in such locality. The one
drawback was that would be COM

A Lucky Find

Ii. +. Johnson, a substantial
citizen of Charlotte, N. c., is
here looking after his phospha te
interests. In 1856 Mr.. Johnson
bought $500 acres of timber
land in Citrus county. During
the phosphate excitement and
subsequent thereto he had parties
to prospect his land, but they re-
ported no find. Later he leased
the land for turpentlne purposes;
and owing to the demand and IN
crcaslng price for phosphate, he
delegated two parties to pros
pect it again. Their report was
that when the turpcntlne and
timber were exhausted to let the
land revert to the state.
Several days ago w. M. Brooks
entered the field, with wonderful
results. There is no mistake that
the land contains phosphate in
such quantities that a fortune
awaits Mr.. johnson for the say
ing.
