Six Lucky Men

Governor Johnston today gave out the names of the six young men whom he has recommended to Secretary of War Root for commissions in the five additional regi- ments which the secretary is organizing for the Philippine war The recommenda- tions are made at the suggestion of Secre- tary Root. who wrote to the governor sev- eral days ago. The recommendations are as follows, two being made from each of the Alabama regiments: Captain Charles Ledbetter, late of Company K, First Ala bama; First Lieutenant Thomas Harde- man, Company M, First Alabama; Captain Herbert B. May, Company A, Second Ala bama; Captain W. J. Walden Company K. Second Alabama: Captain Edward D. John ston, Company c, Third Alabama; Lieuten- ant Frank W. Glover, Company D, Third Alabama.
 In his letter to Secretary Root the gov ernor justiies his recommendations by the following sentence: 'T beg to say that these recommendations are made from merit and from official and private reports to me from the field officers of each regiment.
 It is believed that in case the five addi- tional regiments are organized that Ala bama will secure al least one, if not two captaincies Captain Herbert B. May, of Montgomery, at present recording secre- tary to the governor, is an applicant for a captains commission, and standing on ihis record as military officer, he will rank very high. He made splendid record with Company A during the Florida campaign by the Alabama boys Late Brigadier- General W. W. Gordon, commanding the Second brigade, Seventh army corps, writes Captain May this endorsement: "The ef- ficiency of your company was largely due to you, and you impressed me as a capable and meritorious officer, and one deserving of a commission"
 Captain Edward D Johnston, who is ap- pointed from the Third Alabama, is a son of Governor Johnston.

be had said simply: II was thinking
how lonely 1t would be here when you
had gone abroad"
She had remained silent for a mo-
ment, and then had replied, softly: "It
will seem good to know some one will
miss me-" but, as If fearing she had
said too much, she made some hasty
excuse for leaving him, but not until
he had touched her hand as she said
Good night"
How could he know that she had
gone to her room and struggled most
of the night with her love for him, and
that 1t was not until the morning that
she had fully determined, while at her
self-imposed task of breadmaking, that
love was not to be a factor in her life,
If she was to become famous in song,
especially love for poor man, and "a
farm hand" at that?
And he had not been able to sleep
because of the tumultuous hope in his
heart that at last he had found true
woman. to whom true, mans love
was consideration not to be despised,
and he had planned happily as to the
way he would surprise her by disclos-
ing the fact that he owned houses and
lands" and had money enough to sup
ply the most extravagant wish of her
pretty head He thought of all this as
he stood at the window watching her,
and could not fail to understand what
the determination of her face implied.
In moment more he had resolved

Il thought I would not go away
without saying good-by to you, Miss
Hester. as l have decided to start for

ambitions for the future may be full
filled. l shall expect some fine day to

Ing success and that the musical world

She cast one quick, appealing glance
at him, and then-yes, it was true
she was holding out both hands to
him, which he lost not second in
securing in his own, regardless of the
fact that there were generous patches
OF flour upon them, which became

An Every Day Affair.

1t was clearly evident that some
problem more serious and perplexing
than that of breadmaking was agitat-
ing the mind OF Hester Williams, as
she stood before the open pantry win
dow one early September morning.
Her plump white arms were barred to
the elbows, and 1t was marvellous 10
behold with what skill her dainty
fingers manipulated the yielding
spongy substance in the dish before
her.
1t was noticeable, however, that oc-
casionally the soft pat of her hand
upon the dough changed to a vicious
little dab, which betrayed the fact that
the generally serene state OF her mlnd
was decidedly disturbed, while the
compressed lips and contracted fore
head indicated that she was reaching
some sort of a conclusion OF her prob
lem, whatever it might be.

whistling the strains of popular mel

window sill and said: Good morning,
Miss Hester" in a tone that was full
of something stronger and deeper than
mere respect-t was almost reveren-
tial.
A swift gleam of pleasure and as
swift wave of bright color flashed
over Hester's face; then, as If sud
denly remembering, she rather coldly
replied: Good morning, Mr.. Ray
mond."
He watched her silently for mo-
ment, while an expression OF pain
crept into his eyes, as he saw her
struggle against the pleading OF her
heart, and understood that it was be-
cause he was "only one of the farm
hands" and she was the rich farmers
daughter, who had SO lately graduated
from college.
Could this be the same girl who had
made him SO happy the night before by
sitting out on the porch with him in
the moonlight, and talking with him
of her ambition to add to her other
accomplishments the art of cooking,
telling gleefully that her father had
promised that on the day when she
could make and bake bread "as good
as mothers" he would send her abroad
to cultivate her voice. which was the
crowning ambition of her life!

thirty years to my own knowledge.
Fortune favored her in her business
transactions in the market here and
even handsomer in some real estate
sales and exchanges which she has
made during the last twenty years, SO
that she is now rich woman. She
has never found it out, however, and is
az regular in her coming to the market
as when her existence depended upon
what she sold. Being so long in the
market business, which has many fas-
cinations for some, she cannot give 1t
up For years she kept a market gar
den and raised the most of what she
sold, but for the last six or seven years
she tired of conducting a truck gar
den, being entirely dependent on the
labor of others to raise the produce,
and buys all the stuff she sells. Talk

market in her own carriage, and while
her coachman does not wear livery he
seems to be better provided for than
many who do. Arriving at market at
day dawn, she goes around among tho
country people and buys her pro luce.
While she lives in the country itself
she does not raise anything in the
way of market stuff, though she has
rather exclusive garden for her own
use, but she would not sell anything
from it on any account. Nine-tenths

such large quantities and sells it, The

madam is driven out to her home. The
lady of the household in the country
is entirely different from the aged
market woman who haggles and hangs
on the matter of a penny in the re-
ceipts from sale. In her country
residence she is a wonderfully changed
person. Her home is elaborately ard
expensively furnished. Her servants
quarters are much better than some
of her noi2hbors' residences. She
gladly entertains her circle Of ac-
ouaintances-limited, l admit-when
they are her guests, and she gives lib
orally to her church and the various
demands that are made upon her on
account of her connection with the
same. The turnout which brings her
to market on three mornings OF the
week in the way of horsefiesh and
trappings is better than that used ty

has nothing to do with the stand. He

MIR. KENSIT MAKES A SCENE.
Noted Anti-RisuaIist Protests Against
Ecclesiastical Court.

LONDON, May 9.-There was a scene
during today's sitting of the archiepiscopal
cOur. which convened on yesterday for
hearing of the charges of ritualistic prac-
tices against the Rev. Henry Westall, vicar
of St Cuthbert's. Philbeach Gardens and
the Rev. John Ram. vicar of the church of
St John, Timberhill Norwich During the
proceedings John Kenst, the noted anti
ritualist, arose from his seat at the back of
the guard room of Lambeth palace where
the court is sitting, and shouted: Il wish
to protest against the holding Of this court"
Mr. Kersit then began to read written
protest against the ''so-called spiritual
court" and especially against an inquiry
by your graces, who for years have de-
uherately set at naught your solemn ordi-
nation vows and allowed and often promot-
ed well known lawbreakers in the church"
A storm of Kisses greeted the protest and
the archbishop of Canterbury, the Most
Rev. Frederick Temple, cut Mr.. kensit
short by adjourning the court for luncheon,
amid cheers and derisive laughter.
