Temerity Of Princes Louisa.

The brilliant Wilhelmina, Frederick
lis dearly. lovsd sister, whose young
portraits show her as very like her
brother. has this characteristic scene
in her Memoirs. says Stephen Crane
in November New Lippincott:" Their
ejster, Princess Louisa. aged fifteen, had
just boon betrothed to margfave, and
the King asked her-they we're at table
how she would regulate her house
keeping when che was married. Louisa,
favorite, had got into the way of tell
ing her father home-truths. which he
took very well, as rule, from her. 90
this occasion she told him that she
would have good table we'll served:
"better than yours" said Louisa; land
il l have children, l will not maltreat
them like you. nor force them to eat
what they have an aversion to. 4" what
do you mean by thst?" said the King.
"What is there wanting at my tablet"
There is this wanting" she replied;
that one cannot have enough, and the
little there is consists of coarse pot
herbs that nobody can eat" The king,
who was not used to such candor, boiled
with rage. "All his anger" says the
Princess Wilhelmnia, fell on my broth
or and me. He first threw plate at
my brothers head. who ducked out of
the way. and then let fly another at me-"
After he had made the air blue with
wrath, directed at Frederick, I'VE had
to pass him in going out" and she
aimed great blow at me with his
crutcb,-which. il 1 had not jerked
away from it, would have ended me. He
chased me for a while in his wheel
chair, but the people drawing it gave me
time to escape into the Queens
chamber"

to death on her lariat rope by the risen
waters, they felt it like doom upon
their heads And the smith plunged
his thoughts deep under long, long
day with the Nuremburg mug, ard q
dead night OF oblivion. Those who
give no truce to care, and seek no shift
Of heavy burdens, will cast the first
stone at Gustav Kestner. in the days
when he sought to find again his old
quiet.
1t was q month before the cooper
came again into the smithy.-a month
Of unwonted sleeplessness to Smith
Kestner, and of restless fear to his
neighbors. At last the cooper put
period to his uncertainty.
Frau Gsrtrud would have brought no
drink, but the men, alike i'll at ease,
tapped fresh keg Of the new beer. She
watched uneasily when Gustav grew
confident and the cooper argumentative.
1t was the first of many watches.
Some restless demon pressed the cooper
to know all the mind OF the unspeaking
smith. Some uneasy stirring put accu-
sation upon the lips Of the giant. in the
assurance with which the mug filed his
hugo frame. On the very day when
Frau Gertrud, in sorrow. tore up the
young green hop vines by the river. the
cooper, in . dark rage, strobe out OF the
smithy. and Gustav, sobered, knew that
he had broken his silence.

does not go into the black ruin Of the
smithy to watch red wire twisted in
the Goals. az she did on that one morn
ing when the cooper passed by the door,
and went straight to the stone steps OF
the house.
When he repassed the door little Frau
Gertrud. very pale, was with him. and
the Storm child, watching from the
smithy, with q dull CLEAN Of hate in
her vacant eyes, threw herself with
hoarse incoherent cries upon her moth.

sullen rage, watched the feet OF her
mother and the Black Cooper efface his
own huge tracks in the deep frost, down
to the ford, and up the slope to where

had not WINGED before the tempest Of

Neighbors came-a few-to look at
the face which had never answered
theirs unsmiling, before the year OF
famine. They saw the hands which
had fluttered greeting to them all, bent
now and knotted 90 that dds Klein

the finger that had slipped into it 30
swiftly, four harvests ago. And they
were a most silent company, though
there was little SORROW in the looks that
followed Schwartz Kummelmann to the
grave where they buried Freda. The
sister Gretchen took her two tiny
nephews away to the old mill. The
cooper returned alone to his dark thatch.
Frau Kestner walked silently beside
the smith, and it was he who spoke at
last, answering her silence,
"Why should there be-two OF them

not better to leave her now alone?"
Then tears ran down Frau Gertrud's
face and she hurried to meet the child

room where the Storm child at last
slept. Yet when, after wild, wintry
night, the two walked in the stone house.

THE OLE0M ARGARINE BILL.


Denver, Col, Dec, 1S.-The National
Live Stock association will make an
effort to defeat the Grout oleomar-
garine bill which has recently passed
the house and is now pending in the
senate at Washington. President
John W. Springer yesterday an
nounced that the national association
had retained Judge William NJ,
Springer, of Washington, to represent
the national association before the
senate committee on agriculture and
Senator Proctor, the chairman of that
committee, has been asked to delay
action on the measure until after the
national association has had an OPP
portunity to enter its protest.
"The stock men OF the west are all
interested in this BILL said Mr..
Springer yesterday, "and so are all
manufacturers. If such a measure as
this can become law, no industry in
the country is safe. If it should be-
come law and take7sfSct it means
simply that the stockmen of the west
will lose from SO to 81 on every steer
they market We claim also that the
only people directly interested in the
passage of this law is the butter trust.
The farmer will never benefit from
1t and the stockmen of the country
are most emphatically against It,"

A WARNING By ROOT.
The Secretary Of War Urges the In
crease Of the A M q; OJce.
ATTENTION GIVEN TO lRlY ClSTEN.


Washington, Dec. 24.-At the last
meeting OF the senate committee Oh
military affairs, the proceedings OF
which have just been made puDiic'
Secretary Root made strong pre-
sentation of the necessity for immedi-
ate legislation for the relief of the
army. lie stated broadly that II con-
gress did not at once increase the
army in substantial accordance with
the recommendation of the war de-
partment the United States would be
obliged to abandon a large portion OF
the Philippine islands, where civil gov
eminent is established. If the pres
ent garrisons are withdrawn from GER
tain portions Of the islands the mu-
nicipal officers, mostly Filipnos, will
be left defenseless, with every pros
pect of being deprived of their lives
and property, and at the same time
the United States will be disgraced,
the secretary said, for having proved
faithless to its solemn obligations.
The secretary argued that it was
necessary to pass the department bill
as whole in order to properly adj
just the military organization to the
new conditions created by the increase
Of numbers. "We do not, any of us"
he said, expect that for any consid-
cradle period an army of 100000 men
will be maintained, and for an army
of 10000 men the provisions made (by
the committee) are sufficient"
Secretary Root devoted considerable
attention in his report on the army
canteen, maintaining that it was a
good means of maintaining the health,
good morals and discipline of the
troops. He pointed out that the post
exchange is club, where the men get
together to read, talk and smoke,
playing checkers and other games and
drinking under such natural restraints
as the place afforded. A prohibition
of the canteen, the secretary said,
would interfere with enlstments, as
the men would not enlist If they knew
they were going to be confined in
reform school, lie considered the agi-
tation against the canteen as mis-
guided one, holding that the abolition
of the canteen would drive the soldiers
out of the post exchange, where they
were subject TO salutary restraint,
into the demoralizing and vicious sur
roundings outside of army points. 1t
would result in more drinking and
more deception among those who
drink.

PHILIPPINE REPORTS.


Washington, Dec. 24.-The war de-
partment has made public a series OF
reports made to Gen. Macarthur by
the subordinate officers constituting
the heads of the various bureaus and
departments which have attended
the civil affairs in the Philippines for
the past year They are closely sum
married., but sufficiently to cover the
situation. The report says stable
currency has not been used in the
Philippines and Mexican dollars were
for few days evenly exchanged. This
was terminated by a provisional order
by the government by which it was
arranged to reimburse the banks for
any losses they might sustain through
paying out Mexican silver for United
States currency from disbursing Off
GERS and trade. The new tariff
adopted for the islands is set out in
detail. In almost every case specific
duties are fixed.
The extension of the United States
emigration laws to the islands with
out substantial change to meet the To-
cal conditions is said to have proven
of doubtful eXpediency, and especially
so with regard to the contract labor
law. Regarding the judicial depart
ment, it early was found to be neces-
sary to provide u system which would
be Invested Of those harsh and oppres-
siNe features so much in conflict with
American standards. So some changes
regarded as indispensable were made
by general order.

CLEVELAND'S PLANS.
Democratic Politicians Specializing as to
Whether the Ex-President Wants to Try
for the Presidency in 1904.

Washington, Dee. 24.-Many leading
democratic politicians believe eX-
President Cleveland is determined to
again become 4 factor in the demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Cleveland is be-
lieved to have chosen an opportune
time for breaking the silence r'iich
he has maintained since his depart are
from the white house four yeai 50 o..
The men who have led the party snce
that time have been discredited by
two disastrous defeats, and the Lead
ers of the Bryan element in cong /.
seem confused and unwilling to push
to the front any longer the issues
which they advocated in the cam
paigri. At this juncture Mr.. Cleveland
has come forward as democrat who
has no doubt as to where he stands.
or as to the position which the party
should take on every vital question If
the day. The question that demo-
Gratis are asking is whether the ex.
president wishes to again put himself
at the head of the party for the
presidency in 1904, or whether he
merely wishes to be the leader who
shall raise the standard around which
the scattered remnants of the party
may rally for the campaign of that
year. Whatever may be Mr.. Cleve-
lands plans he is causing considerable
uneasiness to the extremists who are
determined, if possible, to perpetuate
the hold of Organism on the party.
