The advocates of independent bimet-

age of gold and silver at the present
ration of sixteen to one will restore
the parity between gold and silver,
increase the volume of standard money,
and bring the nations of the earth
back to the double standard.
If our faith is confirmed by expe-
rience, the objections to bimetallisnl
will disappear; if our faith is not vim
dicated by results, the people will have
chance to apply a remedy in 1904.
But it we enter upon career of inn
perialism and substitute might for
right, force for reason, and the I'M
certainty of conquest for the certainty
of peaceful progress, it will be more
difficult for the nation to retract it's
steps. The concessions must not be-
made by the minority, but by the ma
jority. Those who are responsible for
the administration which has involved

Henry Gleason was also keeping
vigil with memory. A chance word
with Nathan Burnside had led to an
explanation of that summer evening
ride so long ago. Was it too late to
sue for pardon? Would Thusa be de-
ficient in proper pride, if she would
listen to second avowal? She still
remained young and lovable in his
eyes. Yet, after all, she had been to
blame in not explaining the breaking
of the appointment.
So pride and affection contended in
the widower's heart also. The circles
made in the ocean by the casting in of
pebble go on widening; and phi
losophers tell us that every physical
movement produces never-ending vi
brations in the cosmic ether. The
thoughts set vibrating in those two
practical, middle-aged hearts were to
have swifter results than either
dreamed.
Two or three days later, just before
Easter, Lii Burdell was carrying q
basket along the village street. She
wore a made-over calico gown of Miss
Thusa's, shoes and stockings, warm
underclothing, and neat straw hat
on her smooth hair. Proud of her de-
cent apparel and the trust reposed in
her as represented by quarter"
tightly clinched in one hand, she ex-
amined the houses along the street,
and finally stopped hesitatingly be-
fore one.
miss Thusy said, "a white house
with green Shutters but I can't re-
member whether she said the first
or the second. I've forgot the name,
too, so I must run my chances.
There's some hens a-squawkin', any
way"
She opened the gate and walked
boldly up hefagged walk to the front
door. The true city gamin, male or
female, is untroubled by bashfulness.
Her ring was answered by a tall,
thin, gray-haired man with melan-
choly gray eyes. Lii held out the
basket in one hand and the quarter
in the other, saying:

"Miss Thusy says will you please
let her have a dozen fresh eggs
for Easter, an she wants 'em good
an big"
Henry Gleason stared at the odd
little figure, who stood stock-still aft
er delivering her message.
Miss Thusy! Was the world COM
! ing to an end? Then the explanatio
occurred to him. Thusa must have
sent this queer child TO his next
neighbor, Mrs. Wilson, who sold eggs
regularly, and the girl had mistaken
the house.
| A sudden thought whirled into his
mind. Not being widely read in the
| poets, the line

the principle implied. He took the
basket and the money, and babe the
child come in. He was alone, the
housekeeper having gone to the next
town to do some trading" and the
hired boy was blowing.
Easter eggs! Thusa should have
such an Easter basket as no young girl
in the village could boast. In the bot
tom of the basket, he arranged two
dozen of the finest, freshest eggs he
could find in the henhouse. Then he
wrote a hurried note-not high-sound-
ing, but with true love in every line.
Truly he was making up for lost time.
He slipped the money inside, sealed the
letter and laid it on the eggs, folding
a paper over ali. Then he went to the
housekeeper's cherished window plants
and loaded lie basket to the very
handle with Easter lilies and roses.
"Ain't there no. change from the
quarter?' asked sharp, city-bred ILL.,
looking curl ously from him to the
! flowers and back.

self rather scornfully, trudging off
with her fragrant load. A little later,
| the fUwer-la6cn basket was dumped on
the Hills kitchen table by breathless
Lii, who had come as near to running
as the safety ol the eggs would permit.
"He sent you all these lots an lots
of flowers, Miss Thusy, an the eggs an

He said you would understand"
He! What was the child talking
about?
''Didn't yon go to Mrs. Wilson's,
Lill?"

kitchen rocker the hens was

Thusa sprang suddenly from the
chair and lifted out the flowers, ILL
bringing water for them in an old
fashioned pitcher. When the note ap-
peared, Thusa caught it up and fled to
her room, scarcely glancing at the
eggs. Kneeling beside her patchwork
covered bed, Thusa wept and smiled by
turns over her old lovers note, in which
he told her he would be with her in an
hour. Then, womanlike, she got up
and began to freshen and improve her
faded face and hair, her plain gar

Sunshine In Shady Places.

While Easter is for every age and
condition, there are none to whom it
can have deeper meaning than to the
invalid and to the aged, and none to
whom loving ministrations can bring
truer joy. The beautiful lilies, the
helpful Easter booklets, the appropri-
ate pictures, the written verse, the
bright greeting, are thrice welcome to
the ''shut-ins" who have less varied
sources of happiness than have 9TH
ers. Let them not be forgotten, the
aged mother in the neighbours home
nor in ones own-the fever GONZALES
cent in the hospital, the cripple in the
laundress' family, the suffering daugh-
ter in the house on the hill. The ex-
preston need not represent expendi-
ture of money. 1t may take the form
of letter, dainty and cheerful, or of a
short poem, prettily copied, delivered
personally or by post, and if a flower go
with the Easter message so much the
sweeter is it.
The observance of Lowell's in1unc-
ton, to make sunshine in life's shady
Places" is never more fitting than at
Easter-tide, when it is right that mind
and heart sunshine should be the por-
ton of all.-Chicago Standard.

PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Trampled Upon by HypOcrites Who
Raised the Cry When 1t Was
in Their Interests.

In 1896 the republicans made great
cutlery that the democrats lacked re-
spect for property rights, and doubt
less secured many votes thereby.
But to-day it is apparent that no
party respects property rights less
than does the party of Hanna, McKin-
ley & Co.
Individual rights to compete in bust
ness are trampled upon by the trusts
protected and fostered by the republic-
an party. Predatory wealth is encour-
aged in it's raids upon the people, and
an endeavor is to be made to form a
money trust which is to be the king
of them all.
1t is desired by the lawless element
which is in control of the republican
party to place the power of issuing pa
per money in the hands of the banks.
The greenbacls are to be retired and !
non~interest~be caring debt is to be talk
EN- up and an interest-bearing debt SUBJ
stituted.
Apropos of the proposition, William
J. Bryan says: 1.-The fact that a perma-

alton is to be imposed without just
cause and the fait b of the government
is to be broken.
These facts are appalling to the men
OF property in this country. 1t has be.
come apparent to them that the danger
which threatens property rights comes
from republican and not democratic
sources. Thus the argument on prop.
erty rights as urged against democ-
racy has lost force and is proving q

AN EASTER MIRACLE.
How 1t Saved Little Austrian Town
from Destruction by
Napoleon.

1t was in the year 1899, when the
armies of Napoleon were passing over
the continent of Europe and conquer
ing all that came in their way.
1t was Easter morning, and the sun
shone brightly on Feldkirch, little
town situated on the III river, lust
within the borders of Austria. The III
flows into the Rhine.
Quite early on this morning there
suddenly appeared on the heights
above the town to the west the gilt.
tering weapons of $4,000 French sol.
oilers, the division under the command
of Gen. Massena.
There was Il hasty assembling of the
town council, and it was decided that
deputation be sent to Messena with
the keys of the town and petition for
mercy.
In the midst Of all the confusion of
the hurrying to and fro and the anxious
consultation the old dean of the church
stood up serene as was the morning
with no thought of fear in his brave
Christian heart.
1T is Easter day." he said. eve have

and it is but weakness. Let US ring the

Soon from all the church spires oil

The street became thronged with wor.
shippers on their way to church. Loud:
err and more triumphant pealed the
bells as they rang out the glad mes
sage, and the Hills putting on their new
green echoed back: "Christ is risen
He is risen from the dead.''
The French army heard the sounds
OF rejoicing, and Massena concluded
there could DE but one reason for it
He was sure that the Austrian army
had arrived in the night.
He ordered his men to break ur
camp, and almost before the bells hac
ceased ringin2-long before Easter

BY noon, not tent, not soldier

On lovely summer morning, Lii
Burdell, plump and rosy from weeks of
care and kindness, stood on the back
porch of the Gleason farmhouse, scat
tering corn 10 flock of hens. Mrs.
Hill sat near, Smelling peas freshly
picked in the morning dew; and Thusa

HORSES IN THE WAR.
L Good Idea of the Charactertst1cs
of the Different Types In
South Africa.

There are many different kinds of
horses employed in the present cam
paign and the following gives a very
good idea of the characteristics of the
various types, says the South African
Press. The heavy horses of the royal
horse artillery are magnificent animals,
towers of strength every one. They
are splendidly trained and combine
immense power with great activity.
It is grand sight to see them in
action. The dragons and hussars are
mounted on great heavy chargers,
which thunder over the plain, but they
are lighter than the artillery horses.
The Australians have fine, serviceable
steeds, outstanding and by no means
light, and kept in excellent order. The
New Zealanders brought their mounts
with them direct from the Britain of
the south and an exceptionally shape
ly lot they are, showing breed in every
line. They have done a great deal of
trying work since their arrival, really
more than their share, in fact, and
have shown themselves thoroughly re-
liable nags. They average about 1914
hands and are perhaps little lighter
than the Australian mounts.
A number of South American horses
have arrived from the Argentine and
they are in remarkably good condition,
as sleek as 1noles. They are thick-set,
strongly built little horses, too large
to call ponies, but nothing like the
height of the chargers above men-
toned, and it is likely that in the field
these "big little" South American cobs
should prove as serviceable as any,
Last, and least in stature, are the
horses of the mounted infantry, South
African horses, light, active, strong.
Small though they are, compared to
the majority of the mounts, they are
by no means to be despised, for they
do their work we'll and keep up re-
markedly. They are nimble over the
strong ridges, and feet of foot across
the native flats, and if well cared for
will get through the campaign in as
good order as any.

Thusa was startled to see that it was

face was framed in the aperture, and a
desperate hand was emptying the bow!
of prunes. scattering the purple juice
recklessly over the snowy shelves.
Thusa suppressed little scream,
that she might not startle her mother
and stared at the intruder. The crea-
ture, as if turned to stone, held it's hand
arrested midway from bowl to mouth
\ childish terror began to overspread
the sharp features, and Thusa stepped
nearer to the window.

She quickly buttered slice of bread,

into tears, which she wiped away with
her juice-stained fingers, creating a
fearful effect.

"Come around to the kitchen
door," said Thusa, pityingly. She
spread a second slice of bread, and
poured into little pink-sprigged cup
her own slender allowance of milk.
In view of such abject misery, what
mattered milkless tea and a short
ened ration of bread and butter? The
girl slipped around to the kitchen door
and stood there, ragged, unkempt, al
together wretched. Thusa watched
her compassionately, as she ate and
drank like a starved animation the
time being she was little more. TAX

ing the cup from the grimy fingers,
and going back to wipe the shelves,
Thusa brought out a third slice of
bread and butter.
BY gentle questioning, she learned
that the girls name was Lii Burdell;
that she was 10 years old; had lived
with woman in New York, who beat
and abused her, trying to make her
steal; and that she had run away;

as if she had smallpox, that dread of
rural districts.
Her clothing was literally rags
fastened about her, heaven knows
how! yet there was a certain frank
and independent look about the small,
sharp features, despite the stolen
prunes. Thusa's starved maternal
feelings yearned over the child She
brought her in to sit by the fire, then,
softly closing the door between
kitchen and sitting-room, she told
her mother the pitiful story Mrs.
Hill let the tea grow cold in her cup
as she listened.
II was thinking," said Thusa, as
she retilled her mothers cup, shat we
might-if you are willing-take this
poor child in, to help around the
house, and give me chance to do
more sewing"
IF you think it would be best,
Thusa. should hate not to take her,
if it wouldn't be flying in the face of
Providence-with the interest money

"The winters about over. The
Lord seemed to put it into my head.
I believe He'll open the way for us to
afford it. And I don't see how it can
be flying in the face of Providence, to
follow the verse that says: Feed my
lambs.''
swell, you're the one that keeps
things a-going, Thusa. You've the
best right to say" and the old lady
drank the last of her tea, and ate the
remainder of her bread and butter,
looking fondly at her little brown
Powered plate as she did so.
It was long past the hour for steady
going villagers to be in bed. Lii Bur-
dell, fed, washed, consoled, was Sleep
ing like an infant, in one of Thusa's
lavender-scented bedgowns. Her ben
efactress sat by the small window,
gazing out across the fields. She
was restless, and her thoughts were
of her old lover. Ministering to the
starved and homeless wait had set her
thinking of what might have been, if
she had not been so proud and defiant
in those early days. Henry had sure
ly been entitled to an explanation.
All, but that bitter, reproachful look
of his! She could not forget it. He
might have had more faith in her, in
stead of marrying Cicely Mellen with
in a month. If he hal waited, he
would have seen that Nathan Burn
side was nothing more than an or
binary friend. (Alas! he had seen it,
after he had forged his own fetters.)
So pride and regretful love battled
in the lonely heart. The night wore
on. and ILL Burdell dreamed laven-
der-scented dreams. 1t was halfway
to dawn when Thusa, reproducing
