He had taken the girls proifered

gazed with admiration into her face.
"Edie, I declare, you're looking
sweeter than ever. I must'-he look

ders and imprinted a warm kiss upon
not altogether unresponsive lips. She
pushed him gently away.
Dick you shouldn't. There are
Kihirs about, and all sorts of people,
and-well,- never mind. You are a
dear to come. and how long can you
stay, and where are you off to? Faith
err will be back in half an hour for

you. Now take your horse round to the

why, what's up in this quiet part
OF the world. Edie? questioned Dick,
you're not going TO be besieged,
hope?"
mo, not exactly" laughed the girl
but that wretched man, Frans Stry.
dom, our next neighbor, has collected
a number of Dutchmen here and Is
talking very big about commanders

Dick whistled.
''In that case I must lie low until
nightfall and the nag is rested" he
said. TITS awkward. I wanted to
push on"
Mr.. Janson came in presently. They
had a merry meal together, and sat
just within doors, with the windows
wide open, exchanging news, the two

with a keen interest the prospects OF
early reinforcements from England,
the chances of the great struggle IN

Presently Dick went and lay down for
a couple of hours sleep.
When he awoke II was 4 o'clock.
There we're ten armed Beers in the
room. and Mr.. Jansen was by his side,
plucking his sleeve
Wake up, Dickl" he said. Here's

Dick looked around and admitted
that struggle was useless. Luckily,
he had entrusted all his papers to
Edie before retiring for his nap, and
although the Beers searched him, even
down to his boots and CATERS. they
found nothing. He was hauled OFF to

WHAT WOULD HE Dog

Bryan is a man without a policy. He
is simply an obiector and a disturber;
man with one moving idea-to create
discomfort with whatever is. in hope
that in the turbulence TO follow he
may become president.
What he would do to remedy the ills
he alleges he does not state. He is
over contradicting and finds IL neces
sary to constantly explain what he
means. Some months ago, when he did
not know how the American people
would decide, he was outspoken
against what he called expansion.
Finding that the people were not in
accord with him he began 10 explain
that It was not expansion in the Phil
ippines he objected to. but imperial
ism In Cuba. Then when President
Mckinley declared that he must adhere
TO our policy Of freeing the Cubans and
preparing them for government he
began to complain that we did right to
take the Philippines. but now we must
leave them 20 their fate. or. as he ex-
presses il, leave them to work out their
own destiny.
But Bryan only generalizes. He does
not tell-he never does tell-what we
ought TO do. His sole capital is 10
srumble at what is being done. but it
is never accompanied by the faintest
suggestion OF what we should do OF
what he would do II he were In McKin-
ley's place
The fact Is he would have 70 do as
Mckinley is doing Carry out the
wishes Of the people as expressed
through their representatives in Con.
gress. Bryan could no more surrender
the Philippines without the authorit,
of Congress than Mckinley can. The
president has shown a very exalted re-.
gard for the constitutional authority
CT Congress and has Kept strictly with.
il the restricted lines Of his executive
prencgative.

In an editorial concerning the end OF
the strike at the Cramps shipyards the
philadelphia Times very truly says:
There never was a period in the his
tory OF the country when employers
and employed should be in more per-
feet accord than at the present time.
Any employer who has reduced the
wages OF labor because OF the severe
business depression beginning In 1898,
and who has not voluntarily restored
wages to the highest standard, has
been false to himself and false to his
workingmen. The country is not only
prosperous, but all legitimate business
channels are enjoying a degree of
prosperity that has not been known
for many years, with reasonable assui-
ance of its continuance, and labor
should certainly have the best compen-
sation."

been within the power but the duty OF
another great nation to step in. Then,
according to Mr.. Bryan, we would go
to war with one or more European
state, and we would become involved
in conflict as to which our present
trouble is trifing. And what a pitiable
sight we should present. Dogs in the
Manager who would neither take care OF
the Philippines ourselves nor permit
any other nation to do so.

cellent judgment and will laugh at the
absurdity OF Bryan's notion Of this ma

Artists assert that the high collars
now worn by young women have de-
stroyed the pose Of the head and the
lines of the neck An artist who has
studied the originals OF the old masters
for years says the human form has not
only suffered by the use Of unnatural
collars, but that many Of the most
beautiful lines have been lost through
their influence.
Wearing a stiff high neclSband will
change the pose of the head to a mark
ed degree. and this habit, continued
through many years, causes important
CHI nges I'm the muscles OF the neck,
which soon become permanent. From
an artistic standpoint there has been
a considerable change in the ideal Of
feminine beauty during recent years,
and a comparison of paintings of wom-
en- by old masters and by mo5ern ant
lists shows a surprising difference, as
far as the neck is concerned.
IN old paintings the pose of the head
Is perfectly natural and graceful. and
the lines OF the neck are round and in
graceful curves. In modern studies OF
woman's figure the curves OF the neck

theoretically a senator in Congress
represents all Of the people of his state.
The theory would better approach re-
atty doubtless II senators we're elected
by popular vote. The following from
the Philadelphia Ledger constitutes a
strong argument in favor OF popular
election OF United States senators:
Popular election Of United States SEN
ators is still strongly opposed in prin-
ciple, but there has been popular
election by districts In Alabama,
where the chief, IL not the only,
issue In the legislative campaign, IS
the succession to the senatorship from
that state. A few days ago 1t was re-
garded as certain that Senator Morgan
would retain his scat, but now comes
word that a single precinct In a single
county, which was regarded as the
pivotal district, has gone against him
and that, because OF so or 100 majority
for a single legislator, Governor John
ston is likely 10 win the prize against
the win of the majority Of the people

advertise fails to get trade that IS seek
