1 am willing to confess that I would
have married Gus Waters at a word He
was the sort of a young man a girl
instinctively likes and trusts Perhaps
this is not the kind of feeling the story
books call love, but I fancy 1t is just
as good.
Gus was good-loohng with strongly
marked features, rather tall and well
built, and when he chose to be well
dressed made a good appearance and
never looked i'll, however old his clothes
might be, when about his ordinary work
He did not depend upon his clothes to
command respect.
He had calm, confident air, and
could express himself concisely when he
needed to assert authority. That is
what a woman likes-to have a man abe
to deal with men and not to be turned
aside from his purpose or make mis-
take. He was a good talker, with d
1ne coy humor, not putting himself for
ward to be amusing, but easily holding
his own. Like most strong men, Gus
was hard to provoke to a quarrel
though in his school days he had his al
lowance Of fisticuff encounters.
Yes, will admit 1 would have married
Gus had he asked me, though I did not
think he was in love with me nor l with
him. did not believe he would fall
deeply in love with anyone.

to show a decided preference unless it
was shown first, though other girls said

greatly chagrined when he devoted him
self to Hattie Tinde l had other ad-
mirers, If 1 was not as hadsome as Hat
tie, and mere beauty is not everything
There is no denying that Hattie was the
prettiest girl Of our set, and she was
pretty without having to care for her
complexion or wear becoming clothes
We girls all knew she was intolera bIy
selfish, and wondered that the young
men did not find her out But beauty
hides a great many defects Of character.
and if girl only pretends to be kind and
sympathetic she is supposed to possess
all the angelic qualities.
One day Robert Carpenter asked me
to marry him. He proposed In a blum
dering roundabout way, so clumsily that

He made me almost as confused as him
self, and whether | said yes or no [ do

self an accepted lover, and I had ring
which [ put away in a box undecided
whether to wear it or give it back.

hear of this and come forward as Rob

When 1 met him he simply said:

Yes, 1 suppose so. But the heart is
not to be ignored"
This was about all that was said moth

POSER FOR CENSUS MAN.
Chicago Nunnery Declines to Give
Names of Its Inmates.

Chicago Nunnery Declines to Give
Names of Its Inmates.
CHICAGO, June 13.-The greatest en-
barrassment to the Chicago end of the
federal census thus far has been caused
by religious institution. On the north
side there is a Catholic nunnery, which
has been keeping the wires hot between
here and Washington today. When the
census taker approached this institution
he was met at the door by the Mother
Superior, who gave to him the religious
names of the various nuns, but would not
tell their family names nor dfvulge any
information about them.
When the enumerator suggested that he
be permitted to see the nuns and queS-
tion them himself the Mother Superior re-
fused, and when he offered to furnish
blanks and let the nuns fill them out she
still shook her head.
The detected census taker at once re-
ported his experience at headquarters and
the Mother Superior had told him that
her convent had been on the north side
for a great many years, and that this
was the first time she had ever given out
any information about its inmates. All
the officials at the headquarters fought
shy of deciding the delicate question of
whether the Tu,es of a convent or the
laws of the census shoud d prevail.
Even the head of the census in Chicago
Gid not feel inclined to give a decision on
his own authority, and he Immediately re-
ferred the whole trouble to Director Cess
eral Merriam IN Washington. The decision

This condition. it is now evidently sought
to revive. 1t evidently does not matter
anything whatever to these desperate
politicians what the result may be on the
welfare and good government of the city;
it does not enter into their minds ap-
parently that the people of the city after
the fullest consideration decided to set
aside the conditions which they now seek
to revive. The end in view is, by hook
or crook, to get back to the offices from
which they have been elected both by
public opinion and by the timely and in
telligent action of the head of the st.
Paul police department.
L is the privilege, Of course. of every
citizen to find fault with existing condi-
tions; and if those vino have been thrown
out Of the police department think proper
to overturn our entire system of local
organic law in their effort to get back to
the places from which they have been
elected of course none can gainsay their
right to do so. But in doing so, neither
they nor their party political associates
can overlook the possible consequences OF
the course they seek to enter upon. If

1T MAY CLOSE WITH A BANG.

When Secretary Of State John Hay an
nounced last year with great flourish Of
trumpets that he had brought to a sue
cessful termination his negotiations with
the foreign powers on behalf of the Unit
ed States for an "open door" policy in
China, the G 10 b e ventured to suggest
that the agreements with these powers
were contingent upon the unqualified ac-
ceptance of each of the several powers
concerned of the identical agreements into
which they were asked to enter with the
United States. And it was pointed out
that it was improbable that unanimity
could be reached, and unless the United
States had some valuable consideration to
offer to each OF the interested powers it
was not at all likely that they would
make such valuable concessions as those
asked by Secretary Hay
1t was further pointed out by the
G 0 b at that time that the principal
party in interest, to-wit, China, had not
been consulted in the matter by Mr. Hay,
and that it was exceedingly doubtful that
1t would consent to recognize such open
door" agreements.
China is speaking now on this question
of the open door" If the court party,
headed by the empress, which undoubted-
ly has the support of the masses of the
people of China, secures control of affairs,
there viii be no open door. The foreign
ers will be elected and the doors of China
closed to foreign trade So that Mr Hays
negotiations are in danger from this
cause.
And now Russia has declined to accede
to the proposition to throw open all its
leased territory in China to other nations,
for the reason that such a concession
would necessarily include Port Arthur,
its most important fortified place The re-
fusal of Russia, or of any other power,
releases all the other powers from the
agreement which they only assented to
on the condition that a similar conces-
sion was made by each and every other
power interested.
Thus the much-vaunted "oren-door'' pol
icy, thanks to the willy Russian, is in dan
ger of complete collapse.

ASSOCIATED PRESS LITIGATION
Chicago Inter Ocean Asks to Be
Made Party Thereto.


Made Party Thereto.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June BIN the
supreme court today, the Chicago Inter
Ocean asked leave to be made a party
defendant in the proceedings in manda-
mus brought by the Denver Post against
the Associated Press. In its petition the
Inter Ocean claims to be a stockholder
in the Associated Press, holding eight
shares Of the stock of the corporation.
The petition states that when the new
board of directors was elected after the
decision Of this court giving the Inter
Ocean the right to demand the news
service of the Associated Press, Melville
e. Stone, who had been manager of that
corporation for many years, resigned,
and went to New York, where he organ
lied another Associated Press, and i'm
mediately sent out letters to all members
of the new organization, claiming that
course was necessary in order to carry
out the purpose of organization.
The petition further states that it is
the belief of the Inter Ocean manage
ment that this mandamus proceeding
was brought with the consent of the AS
sociated Press, in order to immedi-
ately notify it's members that the court
will grant an order and compel the cor
poration to furnish the service to any
paper that will pay the rate fixed.
The Inter Ocean says it does not be-
ieve the mandamus proceeding is
brought in good faith, but Is simply part
of a scheme to get members to withdraw
and join the New York organization,
thus disrupting the Illinois concern.
The New York Evening Journal today
filed petition for mandamus in the su-
preme court to compel the Associated
Press to furnish its news service to them.
The petition is the same as the one
filed by the Denver Post several days
ago.
Leave to be filed by this court has been
granted in the Post case. The Post
writ was made returnable in five days.
