Abiding to the probability of the
war in the Philippines being soon
ended, the well,informed correspondent
of the New York Evening Post writes
"My own impression is that the trouble
is far from being over unless it find
determination in righteous American
legislation. / give that as an i'm
preston, not as a conviction. l dis
count the opinion of any man who has
conviction about 1t either way. In
the long run, the Filipino cause is, of
course, hopeless as against the power
of the United States. Wisdom cries
aloud to them to desist, to submit. But
there are sundry human attributes
which even these 'sayages' possess that
arise to drown the voice of wisdom
There are such things as patriotism,
prejudice, hatred, superstition, and
various other qualities, worthy and
unworthy, which lead mon TO fight
and impel them to continue fighting.
A general realization Of hopelessness
may lead to an early collapse of the in.

to its continuation. AguInaldo's death
or capture might end it. That very
death or capture might stimulate 1t. .

Very few people who read Howard
Pyle's interesting story, "a Life for
Life" in the January Scribner's,
will find any difficulty in recognizing
in his description of the town of Mar
ley, whore the scene of the sketch is
located, our own land backed and soa
fropted town Of Lewes. Mr.. Pyle's pen
picture of the place speaks Lewes, and
Lewes only, to anyone who has ever
visited the quaint old Sussex town at
the opening Of Delaware Bay into the
q eat Atlantic. The town, tho Lewes
River, the stretch Of marsh meadows,
the sandy beach, the breakwater, the
bay, the sand dune and the lighthouses,
all make picture as realistic as though
presented on canvas. As to the sur.
roundings, the attempted concealmeni
by terms like " Hennepin'' and "Indiar
Head" onld causes the mind of the
knowing reader naturally to revert t.
Henlopen and Indian River.

WHEN FEET: MADE HISTORY.
BismarcL's Anger at French Won,
en- Who Laughed at His
Wife,

Princess Bismarck changed the po-
itica1 history of France unwittingly.
and but for her the Franco-PruSsian
war might never have existed. Women
create history when they least suspect
themselves of creation, and they alter
a destiny when most unmindful OF
their deed. Bismarck was unfriendly
to France, but Empress Eugene hoped
with her beauty to influence him so
that the little trouble with France and
Germany might be smoothed over. She
therefore invited the German prince
and his wife to visit the court of
France, and Prince and Princess Bis
marck arrived in great state at the
Tuileries.
That evening there was a grand re-
ception and Eugene received the
guests in a gown which made her so
ravishing1y lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stoHd and in love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon her
with admiration. And Eugene was
not slow to observe the effect of her
beauty upon him. She called him to
her side, and Bismarck came, with his
wife upon his arm.
Now. Princess Bismarck was tall and
gaunt and ugly, and her feet were gen.
erous. AS She walked she showed a
great deal of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugene an audible litter was heard
along the line of ladies. Bismarck, who
was quick as fash, followed the
glance of their eyes and saw them rest
upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The polit-
icaI history of France was altered from
that moment. A year later when Paris
was besieged Bismarck himself fired a
cannon over the ramparts and those
who were near him heard him shout:
ssTake that for the feet of Princess Bis
marck!'' The slight was avenged

MAN NEVER SATISFIED.
The Perversity OF Human Nature
Crops Ont Even Under the Most
Advantageous Circumstances.

How true it is that what man cannot
get he desires most. From the little
lad of few summers, to the aged gen
t1eman of so years, there is no one to
whom this truth does not apply. The
boy sees toy and he wants one like it.
The world viii never be right with him.
he thinks, until he has a jack-in-the-box
like that of his playmate whom his
mother takes him to visit once in
awhile, and then its glory fades, and he
must needs have a set of blocks and
build houses with them. He builds
houses for a brief space, then sees
something else and wants that. Dresses
must soon give way to short trousers or
he will never be satisfied. He is finally
put into short trousers and for a few
days he is quite the proudest creature
in the household. But the pleasure he
gets in thinking what man he is soon
gives way to his desire to go to school;
that is followed by his anxiety to get
out of school and to college. But few
years of college life, notwithstanding
its freedom from care, and its delight
full friendships, cannot keep away the
restlessness to get out into active life
and to become man of the world, TAX
ing part in its struggles and its
sprogress. And then ambitions of one
kind or another come to him and he
strives and strives in this direction or in
that until he has attained his desire.
But the attainment thereof does not
bring with it the happiness he had an
ticipated. He must become rich, or he
must make an artist, OF a physician, OF
a literary man out of himself. But
when he has done so there seems to be
just as great a distance as before be-
tween him and his long-pursued happi-
ness. And thus it goes the whole life
through, one thing following another.
and each one seeming to be the great
'object of living, that upon which he
must center all his energies. This is
'.divine rest."-Detroit Free Press.

PHYSIOLOGIC TIDES.
Mankind Does Not Take Enough
Heed of the Need OF Recreation
and Relaxation.

The comparison of an undulating
swing in the higher things in life to the
tidal movements of the ocean has often
been made in prose and poetry, but the
highest development in all things,
whether mental or physical, is attained
through such change and variation;
the sleeping hours are as necessary as
the waking hours, rest as exercise, con-
structive as destructive metabolism.
It would be well if this truth were more
generally and thoroughly appreciated.
What is it that is causing the nervous
breakdowns among our business men,
society women and students? Does
not everyone in this rushing modern
life feel that there is more put upon
him than he can possibly do; more
work and play and engagements and
cares?
Yet the trouble in most cases is not
that people are overworked, but that
they work against physiologic law.
The business man feels that there can
be no pause in work if he is to win sue
cess, and it is the continuity of strain
that is killing him; the scholar who
studies night and day loses originality
and insight and finds himself becoming
a boolworm and a pedant. 1t is the old
story of 'all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" which might well be
reversed to fit the suffering from nerv-
Gus exhaustion of pleasure-seekers,
whose lives are blighted by ennui and
discomfort
The best work of our lives is not done
with the feverish, overwhelmed and
burdened mind which comes from con-
tinuous, unvarying strain, whether
physical OF mental, whether from bust
ness or pleasure. We all need the ebb-
tides of recreation, relaxation and
quiet thought in order that there may
follow the f1oodtides of health and
strength for the real decisive efforts Of
life--Medical Record.

Taylor was some ten yards ahead of
his party when suddenly a man hur-
ried out of the woods at his left and
came directly toward him, shouting:

then exclaimed:
"Who are you and what do you

CHAPTER XVI.
ROBBED.

All unconscious of the snare ahead of
them, the successful gold hunters rode
cheerfully along over the trail, their
gold secured on their animals and their
hearts filed with natural thanksgiving
at their success. They were rich-rich
beyond their widest hopes, and it had
all been done in a few short weeks.
They had registered their claims in
Dyea, but there was considera bic doubt
whether they were located in. American
or British territory, as the boundary
line was not exactly known. This, how
ever, had been fairly explained to the
| purchasers, who declared their willing
ness to take the risk. This they could
well afford to do, for they had bought
the claims for about one-quarter their
actual value, and were well aware of
the fact. They had only to register
them in Dawson also to make them
selves safe.
Their progress was necessarily slow,
for each horse carried not only rider,
| but large amount. of gold as well;
Where the trail was very rough the men
| were forced to dismount at times, so
that it was nearly ight- on the second
day when the party drew near the piece

LAST OF THE BOURBONS.
Not q Man Among Them Who Il
Noted for Action, Ambition
or Intelligence.

The Orleans family now stands for all
that remains of the French Bourbors,
whose hands once weighed so heavily
in the scales of European destiny. 1t
is a rich and powerful clan, with large
estates in France and good investments
in England; but its prestige and in
fuence have passed away.
There was recently a wedding at
Kingston-on-Thames,t the center of the
Orleans family in England. Prince
Jean d'Orleans married his first cousin,
Princess Isabelle de France, the third
daughter of the Comte de Paris and a
eat-granddaughter of King Louis
Philippe.
The bride was given away by her
brother, the due d'Orleans, who would
be king of France if the Bourbon dynas-
ty were recalled to the throne; and a
large company of royal relatives gath
cred from France, Portugal, Denmark,
Italy, Austria and other countries.
The wedding party was mainly made
up of royal personages, who were liv-
ing on their estates in the country, and
taking good care of their money. The
Bourbons have retired from the active
business of royalty, but cling to their
titles and affect to believe that the res
toration of the family fortunes Will
come some day.
Among all the numerous Orleans
princes there is not one who has shown
the qualities of leadership in any de-
partment Of public life They are pleas
ure-seekers, country squires and Pc
dants. There is not a man of action
among them. One of the current
phrases in Europe is: 'sThe Orleans
brains have been inherited by the wom-
en-; the fo1ies and weaknesses by the
men" It is a family of idle, affected
princes and of quick-witted, accom-
plished princesses.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Go down on the wreck-strewn beaches
Where the sea gives up its dead;
Perchance there will be one living
When the hungry waves are fed
Go up on the Keeling headiands,
Where the sand and sleet fly fast,
Propelled by thousand furies,
Pursued by the shrieking blast,
When the tempest has paused for breath:

There are men face to face with death.
Then fight your way to the life crew,
Those seamen true and brave,
Who will battle the widest pillows.

Four Husbands, But No Bisamist.

The marrying OF four husbands, be-
ing tried for bigamy and yet to escape
the clutches of the law is not very
common occurrence. A BlackpoOl
woman married her fourth husband
and was tried for bigamy, because her
third husband was alive at the time;
but she proved that her first husband,
whom she had legal grounds for sup
posing dead when she married her sec
ond, was really alive when she married
the third, making that union invalid
and the marriage of the fourth valid
which goes to prove that the maxim
that two wrongs do not make one right
does not apply in English law, at any
rate.-Paris Herald.
