I do not think Swift ever cared for
Vanessa and I much incline to believe
that he was never married to Stella,
says writer in a recent issue of the
Contemporary Review. Cadenus had
his weak points; he did not disdaia to
be adored and vanessa, poor thing, was
vain and fighty. The wildness which
she betrayed in her letters can scarcely
be matched, except in that amazing

she was at the expense of it herself
One is reminded of the line, "Apollo
flies and Daphne holds the chase" were
it not that Apollo fingered a trifie too
long to write verses which he had bet

went on for how many years? And how
did it end? In despair on the part of
Vanessa, in heartbreak and unwomanly
degradation. Yes, it is a sad story; but
one must not charge Swift with hav-
ing acted as deceiver, unless he was
married long ago to another Woman:
then, indeed, it will be hard, though not
absolutely impossible to defend him.
None can tell what passed between
the dean and Vanessa during their last
interview. Scott has given, but upon
the merest hearsay, an account of it
which, 1 suppose, we could all repeat
if called upon, by heart. Yes; but would

down the screen that hid their misery

sure. And if Vanessa was thunder.

Old Saw That Is ssn.ere.s.

In olden times when a person died
it was customary to toll the church
bell a certain number Of times to in
dicate whether It was man. woman
or child. For q woman It was tolled
three times and for a man thrice three
times. The stroke of bell was called
a teller" and hence it was nine tell
ers for a man: or. as folks said in
those days, mine te1lers mark q

was abolished, finally became convert

Would you have an idea Of her per-
sonality? Ifso, think of good young
woman in your own town who loves
her parents and her home, who is de-
voted to the church, who thinks of the
poor on Thanksgiving day and Christ
mas, whose face 10 bright and manner
unaffected, whose dress is elegant in
its simplicity, who takes an interest in
all things, from politics to religion,
whom children love and day laborers
greet by reverently lifting the hat, and
who, IL she were graduated from a
home seminary or college, would re-
ceive bouquet from every boy in
town. II you think OF such young
woman. and nearly every community
has one land 90 times out of leo she
is poor), you have fair idea Of the Inn
preston made on plain man from q
country town in Indiana by Miss Gould.
Helen Miller Gould is Just at the
threshold of her beautiful career. What
promise is there in her life and work
for the coming century! She has
pledged her fortune for Hall of Fame
on the campus of the New York uni
versity, overlooking the Harlem river.
It will have tablets for the names Of 50
distinguished Americans, and proud
will be the descendants Of those whose
names are inscribed thereon. The hui
man heart is the tablet upon which
Miss Gould has inscribed her name,
and her Hall Of Fame is as broad

mans own family that he could count.
blood was thicker than water, he re-
membered; and the net result of this
encounter was to bring him to the door
step OF his fathers house, with tenderer
and softer feelings.
The night had come; the fanlight over
the door shone bright; the two win
dows of the dining-room where the
cloth was being laid, and the three win
dows OF the drawing-room where Maria
would be waiting dinner, glowed soft
lier through yellow blinds. 1t was like a
vision of the past. All this time of his
absence, life had gone forward with an
equal foot, and the fires and the gas
had been lighted, and the meals spread,
at the accustomed hours. At the accus-
toned hour, too, the bell had sounded
thrice to call the family to worship.
And at the thought a pang of regret
for his demerit seized him; he remem-
bered the things that were good and
that he had neglected, and the things
that were evil and that he had loved:
and 1t was with prayer upon his lips
that he mounted the steps and thrust
the key into the key-hole.
He stepped into the lighted hall, shut
the door softly behind him, and stood
there fixed in wonder. No surprise of
strangeness could equal the surprise of
that complete familiarity. There was
the bust of Chalmers near the stair
ratings, there was the clothes-brush in
the accustomed place: and there, on the
hat-stand, hung hats and coats that
must surely be the same as he remem-
bered. Ten years dropped from his life,
as pin may slip between the fingers;
and the ocean and the mountains, and
the mines, and crowded marts and
mingled races of San Francisco. and
his own fortune and his own disgrace,
became, for that one moment, the fig.
ures Of dream that was over.

American Honey.

The demand for American honey IS
increasing, England being the chief
buyer. Iowa produces 100000 pounds
annually, and numerous other states
produce half as much or more. The
finest honey is gathered from hives
where white clover and Eastwood are
accessible, but In quantity it falls be-
hind that derived from goldenrod and
buckwheat blossoms.

estimated are, Cass 1,G0O, Grand Forks
600, Richiand 400, Traill 1000, Pembina

legislative delegations. Kleinogle con-
cedes the republicans have won 5000 to
10000. Cass county has elected all
