Why the Engagement Was Broken.

girl in gray.
Yes" replied the girl in brown, frovnfng
at the recollection.
''What was the matter?"
HE basely deceived me-" answered the
girl in brown. You see, it was this wav:
I asked him one day to promise me that he
never again would smoke cigarettes, and he
promised. Then I asked him to refrain
from the use of tobacco in any form, and he
promised to do that. Later told him had
a horror of any one who touched liquor, and
he agreed never to touch it. After that
suggested that I thought clubs had a bad
influence on young men and / should ex-
pect him to give them up, and he said he
would. I also took up the subject of gam
bling, and made him promise that he would
stop playing poker and buying pools on the
races"
well, you didn't demand ANYTHING of
him. did your said the girl in gray. Il
suppose he deceived you in the matter?"
HE did"
Broke his promises, did he?'
"Oh, no; I could have forgiven that But
Just when was congra tuIating myself that
I at least had reformed one young man I
found that he didn't need any reforming
He wasn't addicted to a single one of the
habits I made him promise to break. It
was a terrible shock and I broke the en-
gagement right away. There was no longer
anything in it to make 1t interesting"

The Over-WilIinS Admiral.
IN the Now York Eyaninp Pnsf


There seems to be no doubt that Admiral
Dewey wants to be President. The fact Is
greatly to be regretted. His training has
not qualified him for the responsibilities of
the office, even If he were in the prime of
life and the best physical condition, while
his age and his health combine to render
him unable to bear the terrible straH. The
admirais willingneSs-over-wi willingness, it
will seem to some-to be a candidate will
not cause the sensation now that such an
announcement would have produced a year
ago. His reputation for good sense and
good taste then stood SO high, his prestige
was SO great. and thu popular faith in his
inv1ncibility was SO widespread that both
Mckinley and Bryan might well have
dreaded him as a competitor for the presi-
dental nomination. But the admiral was
a much greater figure on the Olympia in
the harbor of Manila than he Is as a resi-
dent in a Washington house, and neither
the politicians nor the people now attach
anything like the Importance to his opin-
ions or wishes that they commanded before
he came home,

An Irretrievable Mistake,
From the Baltimore American.

The signs of the times indicate the re-
election of Mckinley certainly as they
did in 1895, and the defeat of the democracy
Is almost a foregone conclusion. So certain
Is this that 1t Is extremely doubtful whether
Admiral Dewey, even should he capture the
nomination, could change the foreordained
decree of the public. Should he, therefore,
run and be defeated. the loss would be
great. No man can go through a presiden
ual campaign and continue a national hero.
The nation would, therefore, lose its hero,
while Admiral Dewey would lose the ex-
allied place he now occupies in the pub
lies estefm. No man can obtain that de-
gree of greatness that makes his commits
sion of errors impossible, and unprecedented
Judgment says very plainly that Admiral
Dewey has committed irretrievable mis-
take.

Admiral Dewey cannot as yet be called

Mrs. Dewey's Ambition.

Back of the statement Of Admiral Dewey
that he will accept presidential nominal
ton is plainly visible the rising tide of OPP
position to the nomination of Bryan and the
reaffirmation of the Chicago convention

ambition of Mrs. Dewey to become the first
lady Of the land. The admiral speaks Just
one year too late.

If either party wishes to drop it's chief

can do So But will it? If either party
seeks to bend that hero to its ideas. it can
try. If either party stands ready to drop
all it's principles. as well as to retire all it's
political favorites, and to make the ingen-
uous willingness Of that hero to be Pres

character, wrought out in fields affected by
no relation to craftsmanship whatever, its
sole investment in candidature. it can do so.
If both parties desire to do this both can
do so. Whether either will or neither will
must be left to time, though the time is
short. The admiral. neither republican

comes to the democrats like a thunderbolt

no doubt execute the laws of Congress-
He would also execute the will of few
men, and they objectionable men, who

From the Chicago Times Herald.

No Party Specified.

The admirars avowal of his desire to be
President will fail TO pScte

specify the party to which he looks for a

Mr.. Mckinley as the republican leader.
