the following story, which is told at the
A. d. 4. headquarters:
Itappears that certain boy was once
called out and did not return for sew

pearance. however, he produced the
correct amount of money for his time,
and no questions were asked. At the
same hour on the following day, and in
fact, on several consecutive days he re-
ceived other calls from the same party,
and returned each day with pay for sey-
eral hours time. Finally there came
a day when he rebelied. lie went to the
superintendent with the words:

The reply.
"D'want o 60"

closely, hat could get nothing further

Before the surprised official could
speak, he volunteered:

The Republican leaders are anxious,
and very naturally so, to create the inn
preston that the policy Of this govern
ment in Porto Rico and the Philippines
does not involve any departure from
the principles upon which the Ameri-
can Republic was founded. They will
not succeed, however, either by the
apologize methods adopted by Mr. Me
Kinley in his letter Of acceptance or by
the fiat denials of Mr.. Schurman, Sena;
tor Lodge, and other imperalsts who
think the American people can be
bluffed by such tactics If there were
no such thing as Imperialism. why
should the Porto Ricans be virtually
subjects" of the United States, why
should tariff duties be imposed upon
the products Of the island, and why.
should they be denied the privilege OF
free trade with the country Of which
they are part? Why should their
status in such matters be different from
that Of the inhabitants Of other terri
tory Of the United States of Arizona
and New Mexico, for instance? Why
should the government at Washington
impose educational and property re-
strictions upon suffrage in Porto Rico?
Why should the Porto Ricans be sub
ject to our immigration laws and treat
ed as allens?-Baltim0re Sun.

its easiness. One consequence of this is
that the double skirt effect appears now
for the outing dress, and, after all, skirt
that is close about the hips and that stops
at the knee to allow pleating to escape,
is not only less severe looking than plain
skirt, but swings freer. Upper and lower
skirt are made of the same or of contrast
ing color. Sketched here is one in plain
red cheviot, the tiounce headed by bias
fold of green cloth. OF the latter was the
jacket, which had ornamentation of ma
chine stitching. The waistcoat of bright
red silk fastened with green buttons.
There will be little uniformity about fall
fashions in calling, driving, church and
reception gowns. For several seasons
women have run strongly to tailor styles,
then they began to add frivolous touches
to the tailor-made, and all a woman's
dress looked alike This seasons plan
ming is wiser. The tailor dress returns to
its simplicity with those who can afford
to keep it to its real purpose, as well as
among those who have more use for the
tailor than for any other class of dress.
1t may be made of the toughest cloth in
dull and useful color, but it must be of
simple and unworried outline and detail.
So must it be if made of the choicest
broadcloth and in delicate color.
One or two tailors are all any woman
needs, except she leads business life
and lives in tailor suits, and gowns of
other sorts are surprisingly varied one
from another. They are of cloth, silk,
novelty goods, poplins, and, for later
wear, OF velvet. Some very dressy mod
els are being turned out for luncheon and
calling on reception days of striped silk.
Finishings, overdress, y-:ke, cuffs or I'M
dersleeves are Of plain silk to match the
lighter color and are overlaid with lace.
This is an especially good design for the
ever fashionable combination of black
and white. Elaborate employment OF

this combination is seen at the left in the
next illustration, where black and white
silk, plain white silk and OVERLAPPING Of
lace were the components. Ordinarily,
the amount of lace ~ much smaller, and
when used skiilfully a little may be made
to add much OF dressiness.
The general tendency in these gowns is
TO use at least two materials and con
trasts in color are favored. As an illus
tration. consider the second gown OF the

ROOSEVELT THEN AND NOW.
If Consistency Is of Any Importance,
What Do You Think of ThisF

If Consistency Is of Any Importance,
What Do You Think of Thisf
We present without comment two ex-
tracts from writings by Theodore
Roosevelt 1t may interest some read
ers tc try guessing what the candidate
for the Vice Presidency really does
think-if he thinks anything at all:
There seems to be equally little doubt
that the currency is only one, and by no
means the most important, among nun
dred causes which. profoundly affect
nation.
The United States has been on gold
basis and on a silver basis; it has been on
a paper basis, and on basis OF what
might be called the scraps and odds and
ends of the currencies of a dozen other
nations, but it has kept on developing
along the same lines, no matter what Its
currency has been.
The forces that most profoundly shape
the course of a nations life lie far deeper
than the mere use of gold or silyer.-The-
odore Roosevelt in the Forum, January,
1897.
The financial question is always of such
far-reaching and tremendous Importance
to the national welfare that it can never
be raised in good faith unless this ire
mendous Importance is not merely con-
coded, but insisted on. SIS
No issue can be paramount to the issue
they thus make.
If we are to prosper the currency of
this country must be based upon the gold
dollar worth 100 cents.
SO intimate is the connection between
Industrial prosperity and a sound cur
rency that the former is jeopardized, not
merely by unsound finance, but by the
very threat of unsound fnance.-From
Theodore Roosevelt's Letter of Accept
ance, Sept. II, 1900.

Ii Hung Changs wife, the Mar
chioness Ii, is reckoned a great beauty,
and she is also one of the eleverest
women in her country. She must be
considerably over 80 or 60 years of age,
but she looks scarcely a day over 80,
and her toilets evoke the admiration Of
all who see them. Her garments are
calculated to be nc fewer in number
than 5000 or 1000. Her fur robes are
wonderfully beautiful and comprise

shows the. device housed on the stern
of the vessel, in position to be dropped
instantly into the water by pulling the
lever located adjacent to the winding
drum. The brake is shaped like an inn
mense scoop and is supported by an
arm attached to either side of the hull
near the water line. When the lever is
pulled forward it releases the rachel
and allows the drum to revolve, the
scoop falling into the water of its own
accord. 1t instantly exerts such re-
sistance to the water that the vessel is
readily brought to standstill. After
accomplishing its purpose the brake is
returned to its housing by the reyolu-
ton of the drum on deck, winding up
the cable connected to the top of the
brake

THE POWER OF LOVE.

As far as are the heavens from the esrth
Is your own world from mine;
The world which you adorn by right Of
birth.
By right of beauty. womanhood and
worth,
In which your talents shine;
Wherein you nobly won what you've ac-
Quired,
And now. as ne'er before,
Are loved by young and old, sought for,
admired,
Welcomed at every door.
And yet you tell me mat you did not
know
The love that fills my heart
The love for you | ever strive to show
From my own puny world so far below
From yours so far apart;
That were it not for this you could not
be
To others what you are;
That you are SO from what you are to
From my true, love and care.
Such is the power Of love, that like the
rays
OF summers golden sun
nlumines our two worlds through all the
days.
And though our lives may follow parted
ways,
Still keeps our hearts as one.
One heart in duty, sacrifice and love,
One heart in truth and right,
Till in the happiness that lies above
Our two worlds shall unite.
