"You were never popular with my
clientele" remarked madam, "and
you're out of style now"
Madame used the word "clientele"
when she wished to be impressive.
There was a superior patrician air about
her visitor that irritated her and she
felt like snubbing her.
'T'm never out of style; that's the
worst of it," complained the protean
lady. "Look at me now. Yes, I'm a lit
tie boy. It's rather hard on me because
I can't prattle. Still, nobody expects
that of me. I'm not that kind of boy.

Not Republican.

Senator Hanna has introduced bill
hat violates the principles of one Of the
plsnks of the last natioz al Republican
platform 1t is bill proposing scheme
If subsidies and bounties with an al
legged purpose Of encouraging American
shipping. This is not Republican doc
trine. The St. Louis platform proposes
q system /, + discriminating duties in aid
Of American ship building. 1t advocates
additional duties on all foreign merchan-
Iise brought to this country in .other
han ships of the United States. That
g the extension of the principle OF pro-
&c ion. It discriminate in favor of
American vessels. President Mckinley
inf reed this principle cf the platform,
IN his letter OF acceptance, declaring
hat "the policy of discriminating duties
n favor of our shipping, which prevailed
IN the early days of our history. should
be sgain promptly adopted by Congress"
In the face of these declarations, Senator
Hanna proposes scheme of subsidies,
supported for the most part by steamship
and ailroad lines, ,and nobody knows how
deep into the treasury the arm of plum
der may 60. But why trample upon the
Republican platform, which has been
affirmed by the people in the cleo ion of
VIM. Mckinley? Was the platform
wrong? Were the people wrong? Mr..

your letter to me by post or messen-

'Why, sent 1t by Tomasso, the little

"And he brought you the answer?"
Certainly"
"Ah! l think 1 understand it now,"
she said, her expression showing the
light of sudden conviction. Tomas
so, as we afterwards learned, was in
the pay of this count, who employed
him to spy on the movements of people
whom he desired to keep under surveil-
lance. 1t was he, T am now sure, who
intercepted your letter and sent back
to you this note. His object was to get
you out of the way. The note was orig
inally addressed to HMM reply to his
third proposal of marriage-and he cut
off his own name and sent 1t to you"
Camperton listened like one in a
trance. Then he cried out, sharply:
''Do you mean to say you are not en-
gagged to the count?"
Engaged! Why, hate him! He is
wicked, designing man. Papa himself
is convinced of that now. 1t was on his
account-to get rid of his persistent at
tentions-that I prevailed upon papa to
take me home before we had finished
our travels. Oh, Jack-Mr. Camperton!
how could you believe such thing of
me?"
Ten minutes later, when they were
released from their Imprisonment in
the elevator, they parted with the un-
derstanding that they were to meet in
the Kingsleys' parlor within an hour.

AN INDIAN BRIDAL PAIR.
They Were Contented and Happy I'm
Their Simple and Uncon-
scIOuB Way.

Once I saw n pretty thing, ayoung
bride of the Kicleapoos, on n sort of
wedding trip, says:a writer in Ainslee's
Magazine. She was tall and slight, and
so closely do the members of a tribe
resemble one another-she looked like
the twin sister Of her young husband.
At first they were accompanied by
stout old chief, but he left after circus
day. 1t is odd to see an Indian chief
patronize the peanut and lemonade
stands and sit unmoved at the perform
ance, and yet stand enthralled before
the cages of animals unknown on his
native prairies. The bride and bride
groom spent three or four days in the
q town, wandering about as unconscious.
? ly rs Adam and Eve in the garden The
man was already masterful and pro-
tecting, the girl shy and subservient.
Day after day they walked hand in
hand, looking at everything, people,
shops, cattle, but never speaking to any
one, never even to each other, yet deep
ly content in the consciousness of com
panionship. They were living exam
pie of the happiness of simplicity, and
while they stayed in the hustling town
made many n civilized man and woman
think of how far their own conduct
as wives and husbands fell short of the
standard of this unconscious Indian
pair.

Thankfuiness and Feasting i'm
Order.

Order.
This is thanksgiving day. 1t is
an American institution. 1t is a
legacy from the Puritan founders
of New England. The fash
Toned observance Of the day was a
poem of homecoming and religious
worship. 1t was characteristic of
republican simplicity. But the
Puritan has gone, and with him his
fasts and feasts, his rigid customs
and ceremonies. Thanksgiving is
no longer religious day. Its
creedal connection has worn away.
1t belongs alike to the Christian,
the Jew, the Buddhist and every
one who believes in the reasonable
ness of prayer. 1t belongs to the
inhdel and the agnostic, too, for it
is day Of rest and recreation-a
time for the renewal of friendship. a
season for the enjoyment of home
life. 1t belongs to this republic,
which is without a creed itself, and
tolerant Of all religions as such As
an annual holiday regularly recog-
nized by the chief executive of the
nation and the several states,
Thanksgiving began in the gloom
and turmoil Of war. 1t arose from
fraternal strife, sanctitied by humil-
iation and prayer, consecrated by
the tears of women and the blood of
heroes. When the crisis came with
the convulsion of the continent and
the sections were arrayed against
each other, two mighty voices chal-
lenged the breathless attention of
the world. One was the awful voice
of war, the sound OF battle, the clash
of swords, the roar of cannon, the
shouts of men, the means Of women.
The other was the voice of Abraham
Lincoln calling TO the nation to
pa Use and pray. The people heard
and knelt. That morning and that
evening were the first Thanksgiving
day in the permanent calendar Of
our national holidays. 1t is a sym
boil Of reunion, a day for meetings
after long partings-for the clasp
ing of the hands of brothers-for
the gladdening of dear old hearts at
home-for all the memories that
cluster about the hearthstone-the
memories that blossom round the
souls of duty and affection 1t is
a day Of benevolence 1t recurs at
a time when nature is unbarring the
portals Of winter, when want begins
to shiver in the icy blast and char
ity finds her greatest work to do
So, in the midst of feasting to-day
do not forget the poor-and by al
means do not neglect to render uT
