A CRUST OF BREAD.

The young Due de Hardimont was in
AK, in Savoy, for the treatment of his
famous mare, Perichole, used up since the
cold she had taken at the Derby. He was
finishing luncheon, when, casting n care
less glance at the paper, he read the news
of the disaster of Reichshoffen.
He drained his glass of chartreusc,
flung his napkin on the restaurant table,
and gave his valet orders to pack. Two
hours later he took tho Paris express and
on arriving hastened to the recruiting
office and enlisted
In spite of having led from 10 to % a
life of dissipation, remembering that
Enguerraud dc Hardimont had died of the
plague in Tunis ON the same day as St.
Louis; that Jean de Hartiimont had COM
manded the Grandes compagnies under
Du Gucsclin, and that Francois Henri de
Hardimont was killed at Fontenay, charg-
ing with the Maison- Rouge, the young
duke on learning that battle had been
lost by tho French on French soil felt his
blood rush to his head and experienced the
hideous impression of blow in the face.
Thus it was that early in November of
regiment belonging to the Vinoy corps,
Henri de Hardimont, fusilioer in the Third
of the Second and member of the Jockey,
was on guard with his company before
the .redoubt of the Hautes Bruyeres,
hastily fortified position, protected by tho
guns of the Bicetre fort.
1t was an i'll looking spot-a road plant
ed with saplings, cut up by muddy ruts,
crossing the leprous fields of the suburb
and on this roadside an abandoned tavern,
n cabaret with arbors, where the soldiers
had established their post. There had
been fighting here few days before The
grapeshot had broken in two some of tho
spindling trees, all of which bore ON their
bark the white scars Of the shot. AS for
the house, the look Of it made one shud-
der. The roof had caved in under shell,
and tho reddish walls seemed smeared

GUBERNATORIAL TIMER.

At banquet of the st. Johns
alumni, held last Thursday evening at
the Country Club, Mr.. John p. Poe
made a happy speech, in which he
said he was glaG -. occasion of the
alumni dinner Ui III. j Jhn s. Wirt's
alma mater Wa 81 trri,: ed as to allow
that gentlemaL' bru,. for Governor
to be started. Mr. Pc then eulogiZed
Mr.. Writ in most flattering terms, and
announced that NO man would be so
acceptable to the people of Maryland
Mr.. Writ has been asked to allow the
use of his name as a candidate for that
office, but so far has not given his con-
sent. He was a member of the State
Senate from Cecil county during the
session of 1890 and 1892, and delegate
in the last House from the same
county. He has always ranked as a
leader in his party. The Ngis of June
Sd, 1893, had the following editorial,
which we reprint:
Although the election of Governor
10 SOUu WAY OlI, yet II6 democrats,
realizing their excellent opportunity
for egainiDg control of the State gov
erDment, are commencing to cast their
eyes about for a gubernatorial candi-
date. 1t seems to be conceded that it
must be a county man. as Baltimore
city never has been cry successfulin
furnishing good material. 1t has been
strongly argued that as the Eastern
Shore was robbed by the Republican
party of its birthright of a United
States Senator, that the nominee
should come from that section of the
State.
SHOULD this be conceded, we know
of no one who is more acceptable than
Hon. John s. Writ, of Cecil county.
He is young man, brainy and elo-
quent, who has already seen much
public service, but like few of our poll
ticians came out no richer than he
went in, except what he gained in the
estimation of his fellow citizens for his
fearless, open, honest course
we do not know that Mr.. Writ will
he a candidate, but we do know that if
lie is nominated he will be elected by
ii handsome majority and MARYLAND
will have in the Executive Mansion
enc of the best Governors she has ever
had.

WHAT Is HUM4NITT?

Last Spring when President Nc
kinley sent his memorable message
to Congress to declare war, he alleged
that it was done on the grounds of
humanity that Spain was maltreatlng
her Cuban subjects and il was time
that W., as Il Christian nation, should
step in and interfere on humanitarian
grounds. We did 80, and Cuba has
been wres ted from the power of the
ignorant Spaniards. In freeing Cuba,
however, we went further. We an
neXed or attempted to annex the
Philippine Islands. 1t was a trouble
some allial ce for us. In the first
place, IL donor can give no better title
than he himself possesses. The title
of Spain TO these Islands was one of
force. 1t was founded on blood and
revolution and was somewhat the
same as England had to the United
States prior to 1888. Might never
makes right and it will be all
solutely inconsistent fer us, if we fol-
low our fundamental principles and
historic precedents, to attempt TO
convert these savages into citizens of
the United States without their con-
sent.
Yet, what are we doing? Two bat
ties have already taken place and sew
eral thousand F.lipiouos killed. And
is this hum lnity? They have never
yet acknowledged the sovereignty OF
Spain. They have always regarded
this nation as an usurper, and can
we blame them for feeling indignant
at having been sold outright for
valuable consideration by a nation,
which they never recognized as their
master, to another foreign people OF
different dialect.
We do not attempt to uphold them
in their position, but ouly suggest that
it would more humane to substitute
arbitration for bullets and moral force
for bayonets.

SCHEDULES TINE.

Bishop Potter the other day, in
speaking to Il company of young peo-
pie gave them some excellent advice
taken from his own experience. He
said to be temperat-, meant more
than drinks or meats, but is to be
applied to all the occupations of life,
even as to so innocent a matter as
sleep. He said he had fixed hour
for rising, and in general, to order his
day by rule, so that he found himself
like a railroad man Giving on
schedule time" 1t is the secret OF
the lives of the most effective of our
generation. Most of the men who are
making history or right opinions, in
these days, are living on schedule
time. They are doing definite thing
at q determined moment.

TO uER PiTRONS.

We are compelled to ask the indul-
geuce of the friends of The A%giS this
week. The fearful storm, combined
with sickness, has made the tasN OF
getting out u newspaper almost I'M
possible. Bel Air has had no commun-
ication with the outside world since
last Saturday, and while all other
business can come to a standstill, the
newspaper must go on. We do our
best, under the circumstances, and
hope the elements will not put us in a
like prediciment soon again.

Toward ? O'Clock one night last winter
the duke left the club with his neighbor,
the Comte de Saulnes. He had lost a few
hundred louis and had n headache.
''If you have no objection, Andre, We
will walk home. The air will do me

''As you like, old fellow, but the streets
are horrible"
They ordered their coupes home, turned
up their overcoat collars and started to-
ward the Madeleine. Suddenly the duke
struck something aside with the toe of his
