late Emperor Frederick was Chief,
gives the Princess the rank of colonel.
Her husband, Prince Frederick Carl,
is now only captain in the Eighty
first Hessian Infantry Regiment, and
the fact that his wife has higher rank
than her husband has attracted con-
siderable attention in Germany.
Mrs. Johanna NJ. Lovelace of Tur-

Kansas City, Kans., Baptist Theologi-

of land, valued at $780, 900, lying just
outside the limits of that city. The
gift is made on condition that $500
be raised to purchase a building now

I'm a recent article Count Tolstoy
draws portrait of his father. He was
a large and handsome man, who always
wore clothes of a fashion different from
that of others. He had a great con-
tempt for the younger generation. His
two passions were women and gamb-
ling. He won millions and lost them
again. Moral principles he seemed to
have none. He had his sentimental
moods, and when he read aloud from a
book his voice would tremble and his
eyes moisten at pathetic passage. He
was fond of ordinary music--romances
gypsy melodies, operate tunes-but
frankly confessed that Beethoven put

Are You Guilty.

There has long been gossip, says the
Atchison Globe, about a certain Atchi-
son woman-gossip that did her very
great harm; that almost starved her,
in fact. Lately man took occasion to
look UP the truthfulness of the gos-
sip.
The women he interviewed said
everybody knew about it,
But what do you know about it?"
the man asked one woman.
She confessed she knew nothing.
Other women were visited, and they
knew nothing; some idle person had
started a vicious story, and a lot of
otherwise worthy people had accepted
ii. AS a result, worthy woman has
been punished unjustly and almost
starved. Her relatives have deserted
her; she has become an outcast; she
has heard her children cry for food
all because of untruthful stories about
her.
Are you doing anything of this kind {?
And If you are, can you afford it? Is
it honest to accept a rumor as the
truth-a rumor started by some mali
cious, mischievous person? Seven
tenths of the gossip you hear floating
around is untrue; the only safe rule
is not to accept any of it,

Sins of Omission.

1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
That gives you a bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you did not send dear,
Are your haunting ghosts at night.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way;
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand dear,
The gentle. winning tone,
Which you had no time nor though
for,
With troubles of your own.
These little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind,
Those chances to be angels
Which we poor mortals find;
They come in night and silence,
Each sad, reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging,
And a chill has fallen on faith
For life is all too short. dear.
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion,
That tardies until too late:
And ii isn't the thing you do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you a bit of heartache,
At the setting of the sun.

THE RULER OF OUR GREATEST
CITY.

Richard Croker is the ruler of New
York-America's greatest city. There
is no doubt about that. And he does
not live in New York the greater part
of the year Indeed he does not live
in this country the greater part Of
the year. He has a beautiful country
seat in England, and it is there that
he spends the most of his money and
the most of his time.
Attention is being called to Mr..
Croker just at this time by the initial
steps in the coming municipal cam
paign in New York. There is a very
strong feeling in that city that the
people ought to get together and rid
themselves of Mr.. Croker. 1t is gall
ing to the pride of New Yorker Of
the old stock to feel that his city is
ruled by a man who has such little
interest and pride in it that he spends
the most of his time in foreign
country. And there eis a question
whether he is a citizen of New York.
1t is true that he claims citizenship
there, but it is a noteworthy fact that
he is compelled to pay an income tax
in England. Evidently in England he
is held to be a citizen of that country.
If ne could show beyond all doubt
that ne is citizen of this country
would he have to pay an income tax
in England?
1t is doubtful if in the history of all
the world there is just such another
case as that of Mr. Croker-a man
living in one country absolutely di-
decting the affairs of the greatest city
of another country. And yet the ma
jority of New Workers seem willing to
submit to Mr.. Cookers rule-at least
the efforts to get rid of him have thus
far proved unavailing.
If those citizens of New York who
want to throw off his yoke, were to
get together they would overwhelm-
ingly defeat him and his following In
the approaching city election, but the
trouble is to get together The OPP
ponents of Mr.. Croker cannot agree
among themselves as to how the spoils
of office shall be distributed in the
event of their success. They mistrust
each other. Hence they can form no
combination that will command the
entire anti-Croker vote. 1t looks
therefore as if Mr. Croker would con-
tinue to rule New York from his Eng
fish home.

sorry He Painted His House.

A Bangor (Me.) Correspondent of
the New York Sun says: THE costli-
est job of house painting on record
Harbor man. who lost fortune
through his anxiety to make improve
ments upon his residence and his poor
opinion of Northeast Harbor's pros
poets. In 1888 this man concluded that
his house. then white, would look a
great deal better if painted a sort of
canary color with pea green trim
mings. He hadn't the money to pay
for the paint or the work, but he had
plenty of land, being, in fact, land
poor.
ITO a friend from Ellsworth the
Northeast Harbor man said: Here.
Jim, need $50 the worst way; now,
you give me the fifty and I'll give you
a deed to that pasture lot down there
to the shore
"And Jim said, after some thought
full inspection of the land: We'll,
John, beins it's you, an you want the
money, an it's consid' able bit o. pas
tur'-well, here's your money, an git
the deed
80 the pasture lot changed hands.
The white house was painted what the
neighbors described as light yalier.
Harbor began to hump itself and get
rich. The man who got the pasture
lot sold half interest in it to another,
Ellsworth man for 81 $50, and then, not
long afterward, the two got $4,000 to
bind an option on the land at the price
of $4,000, the deposit to be forfeited
in case of no sale. There was no sale
and the owners of the land pocketed
the $500. Last summer they sold
quarter of the land for $500 to a New
York man who built fine cottage
there, and to-day they are asking $751;
600 for the remaining three quarters.

this great cost says that the sad sea
waves are positively gay compared
with him. over $4,000 for paintin'

claimed. Now, if I'd had more sense

An InsoIent Rerrnr

A quiet, unobtrusive citizen, says the
New York Press, was leaning over a
showcase in Broadway store waiting
for salesman to attend to his wants
when fat, greasy, bloated, rum
soaked loafer sided up to him and be-
gan: Il hope you won't be offended if
fellow creature in distress makes an
appeal to your good nature. Truth is,
| am hungry and terribly hard up.
Will you-" mo; my friend,
1 will not. cannot. 1 am
just as hard up as you are" said the
customer in a tone of annoyance. The
fellow looked at him with plying eve.
Well" he remarked insolently, you
amt rag-bag, an 1 don't suppose
you are lousy, like I am" Restraining
himself with an effort, the citizen re-
piled: mo; l could never reach your
level. You need both bathing and dis
injecting. 1t is a crime to leave you
at large" With smirk the loafer ad-
vanced to the manager of the store and
appealed to him.

"You Must Be a Pro-Boer."

A story which Mr.. Chamberlain is
said to be telling against himself just
now is good enough to be true. A
well-known inspector of schools, says
Current Literature, spent a good quar-
ter of an hour in impressing upon the
little girls of a school near Birming-
ham the beauties of Nature, the Won
derful nature of flowers, of trees and
of running streams. At the end of his
discourse he thought fit to put few
questions. Now. who is it, he asked
who made these wonderful things?
Who is it who made each blade of
grass?" Mr.. Chamberlain" was the
prompt answer of the little girl who
was top. Surely" said the inspector,
rather taken aback, surely Mr.. Cham
berlain could not make a blade of
grass?" "O!" said the little girl, you
must be a pro- Boer!"

said the carping person, to friend of
the Washington Star, that you as
sumo to be an optimist."
20, yes. 1t is just as well to look on
the bright side
You undertake to demonstrate that
whatever is, is right and all that sort
of thing"
That would be the tendency of my
arguments"
And you believe that everything is
ALL for the best"
Yes"
We'll, I'm glad to meet you. I want
to talk with some one who has studied
the subject, and who can possibly tell
me- why it is that the man who rocks
the boat always manages to swim
ashore and let the other people drown
1t may be all for the best, but I'd like
to have it explained"

THE sOUTH'S CONSUMPTION OF
COTTON.

| 1t has not been so very long since
Southern newspapers were predicting
| that before many years the South
would be consuming as much cotton in
her factories as the North. There Were
many who doubted the correctness OF
this prediction then, but there is none
that doubts it now.
The report of Mr.. Hester, Secretary
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
which we published yesterday, showed
that for the season ending August 81
last, there We're consumed in Southern
mills 1903 bales, and in Northern
mills 2,O50,OOO bales. The increase in
the consumption of Southern mills was
23,S19 bales. No doubt the increase
would have been much greater If it had
not been for the war in China. Mills
that had been sending their product to
that country had either to close down
for several months or run on short
time.
But even with that drawback the
Southern consumption was not so very
far behind the consumption of the
North. The difference was only about
100000 bales in favor of the Northern
mills.
Taking into consideration the number
of new mills being built in the South
1t seems to be a safe prediction that
inside of ten years more cotton will
be manufactured in the South than in
the North. 1t is a fact of course that
a large part of the cotton goods man
ufactured in the South is of the coarser
grade, but gradually machinery for the
finer grades is being introduced.
viii the time ever come when the
bulk of the cotton crop will be manu-
featured in the South? There is no
reason why it should not. Evidently
some of the countries of Europe think
that the American people are looking
forward to the time when they will
export their cotton as manufactured
product, not as raw material, and SO
they are experimenting with
cotton growing in various parts
of the world. Russia is try
ing to grow cotton in parts of her
vast empire and Germany is expert
menting with the plant in Africa.
II will take many years, however, be-
fore much progress will be made in the
cultivation of cotton outside of the
countries in which it is now grown
profitably, even if a suitable soil and
climate are found. The home of the
plant seems to be in this country, and
it will not be surprising if before this
century is half gone the cotton crop of
the United States amounts to $4,000, 900
bales. The demand for cotton goods is
increasing all the time, and there is no
reason to doubt that the supply will
keep abreast of the demand,

The pastor of church at Highland,
in Ulster county, New York, reached
the conclusion short while ago that
dancing would not be so very wicked,
after all, If the dances We're made to
produce a revenue for the church. He
therefore arranged a number of balls
under the auspices of the church or
ganization and soon had the younger
members of his congregation tripping
the light fantastic toe to the music of
stringed Instruments Many of the old
er members of the church were scan
dalized, and proceeded to make it
warm for the dancing preacher. A
few mornings ago they had the salts

that the preacher had skipped the

will gather at Gainesville, to swap

history of the occasion, if fully writ
ten out. would doubtless be as rich
a contribution to horsey literature as
has been made in many moons.
