MARGARET'S LOVER.

Mrs. Morris looked puzzled. 81 may
have met him that afternoon, and he
may have walked part of the way home
with me, but-why, Margaret!
For the girl had thrown herself down
beside her aunt and, with her face hid
den In the folds of Mrs. Morris gown,
was half sobbing and half weeping.
The older woman patted the girls
bowed head, while her face lit up with
q sudden understanding.
The next time Margaret met the pro-
fessor she smiled on him so sweetly
that the poor man was bewildered.
They met frequently, and at Mar
garet's request the professor resumed
his calls. At last he ventured once
more to tell her of his love, and this
time her reply must have been a favor
able one, for when the professor left,
some time later, he walked as one who
had received a crown. And so, per-
haps, he had, for a man can win no
better crown than the love of a true
woman.-Boston Post.

Illustration of How Completely One
Habit May Supplant Another.
"Habit is a curious thing" said Mr..
Joggleton, 'but the completeness with
which one habit can be supplanted by
another seems more curious still.
II had chair that l had used for
years, and which, as l was firmly con-
WINGED, was by long odds the most COM
Portable chair ever made. After break
fast, when l read the paper, 1 used to
sit in that chair, and after dinner at
night l settled down into 1t, with a
cigar, In peace and happiness and
thought there never was a chair that
combined so many good points as to
height and pitch Of seat and slope of
back, and all that; 1 had never seen a
chair that suited me so well.
"But one day this chair was tipped
over, or something or other happened to
It'll don't know what-but something
so serious that 1t was put out of COM
mission. With our usual conservative
slowness, we put off from day to day
and from week to week getting that
chair repaired, and, as matter of fact,
1t was two or three years before we
had 1t fixed up and brought into use
again. Meanwhile, l had singled out
another chair which came commonly
to occupy. This didn't begin to be, at
first, so comfortable as the old one had
been, but gradually its Objectionable
points disappeared, and I'm blessed If
it didn't begin to develop good points
that had never suspected in 1t, and
came at last to look upon 1t as a very
comfortable sort of a chair, indeed. But
at last the old chair, the good old chair,
was fixed up again and brought back
into use, and the day 1t appeared
looked forward to settling down in II
at night with all the old-time comfort.
"But when, with all those pleasant
anticipations, l came to sit in 1t again
l did not find the pleasure that 1 had
expected; it was too high, or too low,
or the seat sloped too much, or some
thing-I don't know what; it wasn't
! as It used to be-to me. l tried II once
or twice more after that and then gave
1t up and went back to the new chair.
My new habit had become firmly fixed.
l liked the new chair better, and now,
as settled down in it, its good points
were at once emphasized, and softened,
and rounded into completeness, and l
accepted 1t in full as the chair of salts
| flying comfort, and wondered as
looked across at the other what ever
/ cOI1ld have seen In it TO make me like
1t so much.

stamps Spread Consumption

1t is stated by responsible medical
journal that a surgeon in the French
army has just discovered that stamp
collectors may be the means of dlssem-
mating tuberculosis by means of the
stamps. A man in his employ was a
great stamp collector and occupied his
spare time in fixing the stamps in al
buns or on sheets of gummed paper
for sale, moistening the stamps for the
purpose with his tongue.
Three hundred of the stamps were
placed In sterilized water, and with
some of the water eight guinea pigs
were inoculated. Each died with char
acteristic tuberculosis LESSONS. Chill
dren, says the journal, should be warned
against placing any stamps near their
mouths in order to moisten them and
foreign stamps should be disinfected
in a per cent. solution of carbolic
acid before adding them to collections.

Events ia England.

In comparison with what 100000 Brit
ish troops have been doing in South Africa
during the past week, events in England
itself are perhaps unimportant Yet they
TEEN with human interest and interna-
tional importance. First and foremost is
the question of the Australian federation.
Delegates from this great colony are cease
lessly speaking to London audiences
through the luxurious medium of public
dinners and luncheons, to say nothing OF
copious press interviews, but meanwhile
are fighting Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain tooth and nail in an endeavor to main
tain Australias objection to having the
English privy council as final court of
appeals for local cases. No compromise
has yet been reached and Mr. Chamberlain
will shortly introduce the subject of feder-
alton in the house of commons, advocating
that the bill be passed as forwarded to
Australia with the exception of an amend
ment granting the privy council the power
mentioned above.
Presumably the commoners will follow
the governments lead. What Australia
Wiz do remains to be seen. The obligation
subordinating the highest colonial courts
to the privy council, under which Canada
now labors, may wreck the whole scheme
of federation.

Resolution Not Taken Up.

AT the conclusion of Clark's speech
many of the senators crowded around him
and shook his hand most cordially. AS
soon as order was restored Senator
Chandler asked that the consideration OF
the resolution declaring the seat vacant
be postponed, which was done.
There is yet some doubt as to what
will be done with the resolution of the
committee on privileges and elections in
the Clark case This committee will hold
meeting to consider the form of pro
cedure. Some of them think the senate
should take action on the resolution
while others say the resignation leaves
the seat vacant and no action is neces-
sary.
Helena, May l6.-A special says:
Lieutenant Governor Spriggs, who ar
rived yesterday, received Senator Clark :
resignation and will reappoint Clark. The
opinion is prevalent that as Clark ha:
resigned before the senate declared his
seat vacant the governors appointment
will be recognized.
Governor Smith wired that he would
leave California, but will arrive too lat
to stop the action of Lieutenant Governol
Spriggs, who belongs TO the Clark fac
ton, while Smith is allied with the DAILY

OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH
Are Playing Last Card When They
Call on America-British Think
President Kruger VIII Ask for
Peace.

London, May l4.-The Beers seem to be
on the eve of playing their last card, and
according to many keen observers in Eng
land it is being played, not in South AT
RIGA, but in the United States, through
the medium of the Boer delegates, who
sailed for New York from Rotterdam last
week AS the bulk of British opinion does
not contemplate for a moment that MIR.
Fischer and his companions Will achieve
success, it is only natural that serious
thought is now confidently devoted to
demonstrating the date when the war In
the Transvaal will be ended. Most estl-
mates concur in agreeing that hostilitles
will have ceased by June, when President
Kruger learns that the last country APP
pealed to, namely, the United States, VIII
afford no help and that he has no alterna-
tive in the face of the overwhelming force
now VIGOROUSLY sweeping into his terri
tory but to sue for peace. What Great
Britain's answer to that request will be
was Enthusiastically defined by Joseph
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the
colonies at Birmingham when he declared
that the Boer republics must become a
crown colony, whose initial stage OF or
ganization will be controlled by military
administration. By agreeing to these
terms President Kruger must, OF course,
give up all for which he has been fighting.
But ON the other hand, now that terms
have been so emphatically enunciated,
they must either be granted or England
will stand defeated.
The latter alternative, however, does
not enter England's category of possible
tiles. Her people are firmly convinced
that Lord Roberts will steadily advance,
perhaps with delays and losses of dare
devil units, and may be without inflicting
crushing defeat until he occupies the
Iransvaal His forward progress, they
believe will be stopped only when Presi-
dent Kruger, learning of the failure OF
Fischer's mission, asks for peace. That
this will come sooner than previously ex-
pected is the trend OF popular opinion to-
day.
A long siege of Pretoria has become a
remote contingency. Sharp fighting at
Kroonstad and ON the Vaal river, Sc
ries of rear guard actions with constantly
retreating forces, an organized develop
ment of hostile country, and then by
June, or perhaps earlier, peace and occupa'
ton Such is the average forecast Of
the struggle in South Africa. Maybe it il
altogether too optimistic, but the present
successes of the British arms and the evil
dences of their well defined plans and ex
cellent organization forms much excuse fol
optimism.
