with minors. They are also the men
Who have refrained from taking out
license while waiting for the decision
that has just been rendered. Their
business, while the most harmful OF
any, is not large enough to allow
them profit under the terms of the
ordinance. and they viii hardly care
to incur the risk of fine of s25 a
day by selling without a license 1t
will be well to watch them. however.
and in this connection it may be hoped
that the Anti-Cigarette League will
not attempt to use the school children
as detectives. This did not meet with
favor when it was tried before, and
the same objections will be raised if
the plan is repeated. 1t is too much
like spying, and the law can be en-
forced without it. Let the league and
the local officials be energetic, and
they can accomplish all that is de-
sired. The law gives them the power,
and it should be enforced without fear
or favor.

And, with the springs first daylight
CLEAN
The creatures OF the morning mist:
When all things gladden. in the sun,
And steepIe unto steeple calls,
From AthoPs height to Templeton,
And grasses burst from pebble,l

When Nature swells a friendly song
The little buds speak Que at last,
And in the woodland comrades throng
And thou alone no comrade hast!
If now and then a passing cloud
Caress thy brow, or swallow please

And only they thy grandeur guess
Who know the friendless vast, yet feel
The majesty of loneliness.

Cigarette License Law Upheld.

The decision of the United States
supreme court upholding the validity
Of the Chicago cigarette license ordi-
nance will be Of benefit to the COM
munity in two ways. In the first
place, it will add to the effectiveness
Of the restrictions placed upon the
sale Of cigarettes; and in the second,
it will somewhat increase the city's
revenue It will drive the small dealer
who sells to schoolboys out of bust
ness, and will have a tendency to
make the large dealer more careful.
His license costs him 800 a year.
and that may be revoked at any time
upon proof that he has sold cigarettes
to anyone under p years of age.
The effect upon the large dealers,
however, will be comparatively slight
They will pay the license fee and
continue in business as heretofore.
They never have cared for the trade
Of minors, and will only be little
careful whom they serve But in the
vicinity Of schools, and in other
places where boys congregate, the de-
cfsion that the ordinance is constitu-
tional and may be enforced will be
most salutary. 1t is in such places
that the danger lies. The proprietors

worth, and deal almost exclusively

Silver in Demand.

Silver is in great demand just now
in the far east, India and China import
ing large quantities. The relief given
by the Indian government to the
100000 persons suffering from fam
inc seems to have called for the coin
age of silver, which has been pur-
chased in Europe. The silver shipped
from London to the British East Indies
in January and February aggregated
81 ,960,390, an increase of 51.4 per cent.
over the like period Of 1899 To China
the exports were 1861 ,995, an increase
Of 63.7 per cent. The outflow to China
is thought to be silver for railroad
work and payment of troops. Russia
and Germany are both spending money
on railroads and mining concessions.
The large eastern demand steadies the
price Of silver. Some 100000 fine
ounces of silver have gone out. the
United States supplying so per cent. OF
the amount. In addition to the Lon
don shipments China took during the
two months s1,45S.4S2 in silver direct

Dona Engracia was Don Pablo's
ward, the daughter of a friend, who,
dying, had left her to his care. Her
guardian had never seen this young
woman, who had been placed shortly
before her fathers death in a school
at Madrid Her modest fortune was
handled by Don Pablo with scrupu-
lOus care, for he was strictly honest,
but he considered her troublesome
incumbrance. He wrote to her only
when obliged to send her the check of
her allowance, which was always ac-
cOmpanied by these words: ITO spend
little in youth is to have plenty in old
age" Every Christmas he felt obliged
to send her a present, but it was new
er anything pretty or calculated to
encourage a frivolous taste, being
something useful. such as gloves or
shoes, the selection Of the articles be-
ing left to Juaquina. Dona Engracia
always replied: ut was very kind Of
you to remember me-
This morning, however, her letter
was unusually long and ended thus:
And so. having finished my educa-
ton, am going to visit schoolmate
in San Sebastian. In six months /
shall have attained the age at which
my father wished me to be mistress
of my own fortune. In six months l
shall trouble you no more.
There was note Of eXultation run
ming through this letter that irritated
Don Pablo; while he was pleased that
his responsibility was drawing to an
end, and had already congratulated
himself upon it, he was vexed to know
that she also was pleased.

her money as she likes" he thought.

About two months afterward he re-
ceived letter from the mother of the
schoolmate his ward was visiting in
San Sebastian. She wrote:
I need your advice in regard to En-
gracia. She has become acquainted
with a young American who is making
tour of Europe, and who, upon her
account, is prolonging his stay in this
place Indefinitely. He seems to be
madly in love with her, and she re-
turns the sentiment. He is rich, as
all Americans are, but as I know moth
ing of his family I have requested
him to cease his visits, which has
made Engracia very unhappy. Do
me the favor to tell me what I ought
to do.
That any sane man could be "madIy
in love" with the original of that pho

intense amazement. Then he reflected
that Americans and Englishmen, who
were very much the same to him,
were queer lot at best He had often
seen them in shops where second
hand articles are sold paying fabulous
prices for old odds and ends, and he
had experienced plying contempt
for them. He had a vague idea that
this young American wanted to add
Engracia to some grotesque collec-
ton. At any rate, he would be glad
to see her safely married to a rich
man, fur should she remain single she
would soon spend, all her money and
would come to him for aid. So he
wrote:

the woman paused behind him. and
greatly to his CONSERVATION he felt
two arms around his neck, while a
pair Of soft lips touched the brown
leather of his cheek.

She laughed lightly and stood before
him a beautiful vision; a young girl
with large, soft, dark eyes and a face
that might have belonged to one of
Nurillo's fairest models. So fair did
she seem, her cheeks and lips bloom

might have been a sister to the clus-
ter of roses glowing at her belt. No

you wrote me that long letter, which

l sent you the photograph of a school
mate who is at once the vainest and
the plainest Of girls. You will forgive
me for being prettier than the picture,
won't you?"
Forgive you? A woman with your
face might receive forgiveness for
anything" She tapped him lightly on
the cheek with her fan. 81 am already
inclined to be vain" she said frankly,

Then an amusing thought seemed to
strike her and she said: Il am not I'M
grateful, but I always laugh when I
think of the gloves and shoes you used
to send me. Why did not you take
the trouble to ascertain the sizes l
wear?"
She put forward a small foot and
held up a slender hand.
