NGELLlE, didn't you leave that thir-
INI teenth problem on your slate:'
SSA asked Florence Ninton cxcitcdly
as she joined the girls on the playground.
YES" answered Nellie, "why!"
because when l went into the school
room just now, Eva Moore put something
into your desk which i know was your
slate; l just know she has copied your
work and will take the honor again this
week: she is n mean little sneak. anyway,
and doesn't deserve it! Ii l were you,

thing" answered Nellie.
Nellie Blake, do you think l would
have said she did it. if 1 had not seen
her!!' angrily retorted Florence: 'besidcs
you never could see Il fault in that little
ragmutlin,' and she turned %scornfully
away.
Florence had neglected her lessons and
disobeyed her mother by leaving them
unlcarned. and going down to the parlor
for n game with Cousin Ralph; consc-
qucntly she came to school all out OF
sorts. and now she was very willing to
blame Eva, who, she felt sure, would
take the honor again.
Miss Fcnton's rich and eccentric old
uncle. Prof. Bradley. who had retired
from educational work, and who often
visited his niece's school. had offered n
five-dollar gold piece to the pupil who
should receive the greatest number of
weekly honor cards."
Eva and Florence had kept equal until
the week before, when Eva had come out
ahead.
Florence Vinton, who was a dark-cyed.
robust little beauty, was the daughter
OF n rich merchant, and had every rom
fort she could desire, but she was am
bilious and worked just as hard for the
tempting god piece as though it had been
a rare gift. Eva Moore, who was the
opposite of her rival, was n delicate girl
with large. dreamy blue eyes and tla1en
curls. She lived with her grandfather,
who scantily supported himself and Eva

might get an education, and be able to

support her.
Florence's wrath knew no bounds when
the honor card was again handed to Eva.
II think your card would better be
called dishonor! Anyone might get a
prize if she copied other peoples work."
sneeringly exclaimed Florence, us she
hurried past Eva on her way home.
Eva begged for an explanation; hut the
angry girl fcigned not to hear. and hur-
ried on.
Poor Eva. above all things she could
not bear to be thought dishonest. and she
burst into tears.

Between her sobs Eva told her how
Florence had accused her Of copying an

what she meant.

her that she knew Florence was mig

Eva then told her how her grandfather
had had to work, and she had only dry
biscuit for dinner, and could not bear
to eat it with the other girls. who always
had nice dinner, but had hid it in her
desk till they were all out. and was just
eating it when Florence came in.
Suspicious hearts are always ready to
grasp whatever points a guilty finger at
their foes. Florence had not waited to
notice that Eva sat mt her own desk,
which was next to Nellie's.
Poor little Eva! Long abstinence from
wholesome food. and hard work-for she
sat up late at night to get her lessons
and this shock to her weak nerves had
proved too much for her; she could
scarcely walk alone.
Nellie put her strong arm protcctingly
around her. and accompanied her to her
grandfathcr's door; then kissing her, and
promising to prove her innocence to Flor
encc. she babe her good night.
Mrs. Ninton was standing behind the
lace drapcry which screened the parlor
window and fell in folds around the
bronze flower pot which held Il large,
creamy tinted Easter lily. Her soft, jew
eled hand was raising u dropping blossom
when Florence ran up the walk and en-
tered the hall.
FLORENCE. my DEAR" called the gentle
mother.
Florence slowly obeycd the summons
with flushed face, and eyes blazing with
anger.
Daughter, 1 wish you would give some
of your lilies to little Eva Moore; she
looked so wistfully at them this morning.
Will she pass this way to-night|'
II don't know, mammal; l don't want
to give them to her if she does,'' an
swered Florence. Then, dropping on the
sofa II bursting into tears, she poured
out a torrent of angry words against
her rival.
Mrs. Ninton. seating herself beside her
daughter, waited unit! the passionate fit
of weeping was over; then she said sadly:
II hope o have not said anything
that would hurt your little friends feel

she isn't my friend, She

you have been mistaken IN thinking kei

child. She has burdens which are much
too heavy for her to bear. l fear she is
denied many of the COMMON comforts of

20, mammal! 1 never thought of it in

How bitterly did Florence condemn
herself for her cruel treatment of her
innocent friend when the next Monday
morning Nellie greeted her with:
"Fl0rence, you were mistaken in think
ing that Eva copied my work. She told
me that her dinner was not SO nice as
the other girls have, and she had hidden

OVATION FOR THs QUEEN.
Victoria Sets Foot on Irish Soil After.
Nearly Forty Years.

ANSsIlS rory lCiTSs
Queen Victoria set foot on Irish soil
Wednesday for the first time in almost
forty years. Dublin was rcsplcndcnt.
The decorations in the city and along the
route which the Queen took from Kings
town were lavish aud more magnificent
than those OF London at the time of the
diamond jubilee. The streets We're
spanned in n hundred places by elabor-
ate arches bearing notices of welcome
and expressions of loyalty. The entrance
to the city at L.eeson street bridge was
marked by Il huge triumphal arch of
flags, flowers and evergreen on which
was cmblazoned a welcome to Dublin
in gold letters. The streets were jammcd
with people at an early hour. lrishmen
had gathered from the ends of the island,
and hundreds of llnglishmcn were in the
throng. The entire route from Kings
town to Dublin was lined with spectators.
The Queen was received by the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland. Earl Cadogan,
the Duke of %Connaught, commander of
the forces in Ireland, Lord Mayor Talton

Rout of Broadwood's Force Proves Skill
In Preparing Ambuscadc.

The London correspondents with Gen.
Roberts add little of Importance to the
commander-iu-chief's account of the dis
aste; to Col. Broadwood's column. All
the %ccounts of the fight from Il British
source Oncur in stating that Col. Broad
woods force of about 1000 men was out
numbered by the Beers eight or ten to
one, and the arrival of tine infantry di-
vision and Gen. Frcnch's cavalry alone
prevented the humiliation of Col. Broad
woods command.
AS regards the details of the affair,
the stories diiley considerably. The Of,
fair seems rather TO testify to the skill
of the Beers in preparing ambuscades
than to neglect of the British to recon-
hotter the route of the convoy. 1t seems
that the scouts of the convoy must have
passed close to the ambushers, who APP
parently were as invisible as cartridges
in cover.
The correspondent OF the London Morn
ing Post, in describing the working OF the
trap, says the convoy had scarcely pro-
cceded 300 yards, and the men were still
eating breakfast, when the enemy opened
fire from Il donga in front and eighty
yards from the head of the convoy. The
fire was deadly, and the men of the lead
ing troops, Roberts horse. were swept
from their saddles. \ scene of confusion
followed. The teams of four guns, their
drivers having been shot. stampcdcd and
carried the guns out of action. These
and one other gun were saved. The teams
Of the other gun were shot. and the
guns, with the convoy, fell into the hands
of the enemy. Meanwhile Gen. Alder
sons brigade held back IL force OF the
enemy, estimated TO number 1000, with
great gallantry, losing heavily, and fall
ing hack by degrees. The enemy in Il
donga in their rear pursued the flying
guns until the approach of the Ninth

TALKING about quotations, how is
this one from McKinley's speech at To-
ledo, o., February II, 1891: " During
all of Grover C~leveland's years at the
head of the government he was dis
honoring one of our precious metals,
n of our products, discrediting silver
and enhancing the price of gold. He en-
devored even before his Inauguration
to Office to stop the coinage of silver
dollars, and afterward and to the end
of his administration persistently used
his power to that end. He was deter
mined to contract the circulating me-
dunn and to demonetize one of the
coins of commerce, limit the volume
of money among the people, make
money scarce, and therefore dear. He
would have increased the value of
money and diminished the value of
everything else-money the master,
everything else the servant. He was
not thinking of 'the poor then. He
had left their side.' He was not
standing forth in their defense. Cheap
coats, cheap labor, and dear money!
The sponsor and promoter of these
protesting to stand guard over the
welfare of the poor and lowly! Was
there ever more Inconsistency or reck-
less assumption" Who is it now that
is for demonstration of silver and q
single gold standard?

The Republican party holds put to
the young men the ''full dinner pail'
as a reward for party fealty. In other
words, it assures them that they
shall always have an opportunity to

they are able to work. The slaves in
antebellum days had all this and the
further assurance of good care in sick
ness and decent burial after death.

and coerce him will come to naught.

These and similar notices are being

command of Boss Hanna and his un-

many instances the workingmen sur
rendered their birthright as freemen.
Now, supposing the laborer again sub
mits to the dictation of his master;
will not the demand be more stringent

submission not soon grow into custom,
and then what will have become of the
