II Question Of a Rose.
BY HENRY DAVID.

I ishly set me on very high pedestal,
| but will try and be worthy of the
| priceless love you have given me. Ever
| since l have known you my work has
! been with the single idea of securing
your appreciation and approal Whenev-
er l have done anything that struck me
as being particularly good 1 have always
said to myself: I hope this will please
her. The applause of the world would
cease to mean anything to me, were you
not a part of it. You are all; no one
else matters.
Philomene raised her face and The
Man kissed her, and as he did so
felt funny feeling inside of me, and
I wanted to rush out and bite him on
the leg, but knew. my mistress wouldn't
like that, so 1 restrained myself; but
later, when The Man had gone, and my
mistress paid hardly any attention to
me, and sat for such a long time look
ing at The Mans picture, 1 wished that
/ had given him just one good hard bite,
so that he'd keep away for while.
After awhile Philomene set the picture
in its gilt frame tenderly back in it's
place on the table and, sitting down
on the floor, took my head in her lap
! and whispered:
ooh, Paddy, you dear old red dog, 1
am SO happy, so very, very happy and
then she cried a little and the tears fell
on my nose and made me sneeZe, and
that made her laugh, and then | felt ever
so much better.
The next DAY boy brought my mis-
tress package of letters, and when she
opened them and read the first one she
grew white as a ghost and gave little
gasp and pressed her hand to her heart
All day long she sat in her room saying
nothing seeing nothing. and paying no
attention even to me, but with such a
look in her eyes as | never wish to see
in them again. Even when l put my
head on her knee and looked up into
her eyes and begged her to speak to me
she did not notice me, but sat like a
white statue and gazed at the wall
where there was nothing at all to see.
That night when The Man came, she
walked quietly into the room, and as
| he arose to meet her and held out
| his hands she placed the package of
| letters in them. The Mans face turned
| even whittier than hers.
in Gods name, Philomene, where did
| you get these?' he gasped as he sank
| into chair.
"a messenger brought them to me this
morning., She said YEARLY. Il do not
know who sent them-or why Then
| she went ON bravely: Tell me all about
them; tell me all about her. You ought
| to tell me, you know think it is no
more than just that / should know
The man seemed too dazed to speak
Several times he tried, but words refused
to come to his lips.
Philomene went over to him and gently
| laid her hand on his shoulder. He
| started at the touch
WAS she-as much to you-did you love
| her so very, very dearly?'' she asked
| softly lis she dead or"
NO. no. Philomene. I thought I
| loved her, but it was not real love-I
know what that is now. But the story
is such miserable one. / cannot bear
| to tell it to you. Still, as you say, You
| have a right to know, and / will tell you
all-the whole truth. I dare not hope
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-12-27

to know that what I am to tell you
is true. Then, if you find 1t in your
heart to forgive me l will tell you the
whole story but you must first forgive
me-" Then she hesitated for long, long
time, and at last she whispered, so low
that 1 could scarcely hear:
I'm Italy, three years ago, I was the
mistress of the Count d'Orsay."
The Man stopped breathing; his face
grew a horrible ashen gray, and his
lips lost every trace Of color
II can't believe it, he gasped
81 swear to you that it is true" said
For the Count dOrsay was my father,
and it was while Phlomene was in Italy
that he was given to her. He died there
and Philomene was so heart-broken thar
Mr.. tombstone gave me to her that L
might take the place of my father. of
whom she had grown so very fond
was only puppy then, but / remember
1t all very well.
The man sat for a long time with his
face hidden in his hands, but he did not
speak. At last Philomene said, ever so
gently and sorrowfully:
Now you know, dearest, how great
my love is for you. True love is always
forgiving. Is your love for me as great
as mine for you? / would not be content
were 1t not so. What is done is all in
the past We do not live our lives back
wards The future and our own great
love for each other lie before us, and we
can afford to forget the past | loved
the Count dOrsay-" The Man shuddered
with purer, truer love than ever you
bestowed on Helen Barnett. Surely that
ought to count in my favor. And SONS
day, dearest, when you have forgiven me
7 a nd will no
glad that you loved me we'll enough to
forgive me, as 1 have forgiven YOU
But The Man only sobbed and murmur-
ed: Its SO different, so different"
No. no, dear, it only seems different.
1t Is really just the same. An unkind
world has cast a heavier load of chains
upon the woman-that's all-but there
is no real difference But / won't ask
you to answer now; you must have
time to think. You will see it In the true
light, am sure, when you have had time
to recover from the shock. Wait until
tomorrow, and then, If you find that your
love is as great as mine, you may send
me rose. Good night, dear She
kissed him lightly on the forehead and
slipped away so quietly that l did not
hear her go.
The Man arose and took few steps to-
ward the door through which she had
vanished, then stopped, and, turning,
went blindly out into the night.
/ went softly up stairs to the room
where my mistress sat with such
strange, frightened look on her face,
that l was almost frightened, too.
'.Oh, Paddy, boy she cried, throwing
herself on her knees by my side, and put
ting her arms around my neck, have L
done foolish thing? A dogs love lives
while his life lasts. Nothing can shake
it; nothing can destroy it. But mans
love-ah, I don't know-I don't know
But she will know tomorrow.

roysterer cried out he would have moth
ing to do with the liquor, but would
have the toast-that is the lady herself.
From this incident, it is said, arose the
habit of giving the lady's name to pre-
face or flavor the drinking of wine.
Hence a popular lady whose health was
often drunk became "a toast" or, a
great toast alter the word has come to
mean any sentiment which prefaces a
drink.

take no trouble in reminding them that
a tip is expected. From the walters
point of view the man or woman who

TALES FOR DINERS.

The origin of the word toast in
drinking health is interesting. The
drinks most in use in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries were sack, canary,
claret, sherry and others, to which it was
customary to add honey, sugar, ginger,
cinnamon and other ingredients; also a
piece Of toast, which foated on the top
of the liquor and was supposed to give
it an additional flavor. Later on, in the
eighteenth century, DR.. Johnson relates:

SUITS INVOLVING JUDICIAL SCANDAL IN
NOME ARE SETTLED OUT OF COURT

san Francisco, Jan. 31.-A settlement
has been reached out Of court between

ants in the suits over the mines for
which Mckenzie was appointed receiv-
er by United States Judge Arthur II.

which property valued at over $4,000
eco is involved.
By this settlement all the rights OF
the famous Anvil and Dexter Creek
mines are vested in the Pioneer Min
ing company. and their titles to these
properties have been so perfected that
there is no possibility of further con-
test This property included the IA
nous Discovery claim, which has pro-
duced more than 100000 worth Of

tions from the state courts but also
from the United States district court
and the United States circuit court oi
appeals.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-02-01

By the compromise all the accounts
of Receiver Mckenzie were allowed
and paid, all the debts incurred for the
mines by the receiver were paid, all the
receivers charges were settled and a
stipulation was entered into by which
all litigation was to be dismissed.

DEMOCRATS PLAN DEATH
OF THE SUBSIDY STEAL

Washington, Jan. 31.-The Democratic
senators and their co-workers in the sen
ate who are opposed TO the ship subsidy
bill did not hold d formal conference to-
day to decide upon a eourse to be pur-
sued with reference to that measure, as
had been announced they would do, the
explanation being made that II had been
discovered that the opposition was so
determined as to render a special meet
ing unnecessary While there was no
caucus, however, there was a general eN-
change of views Of the minority sena-
tors, which enabled the leaders &c form
a definite opinion at the close Of the day
of the position of the opposition as a
whole.
The decision reached is to continue the
debate upon the bill at the present, with
the hope of being able to keep il going
until it viii become necessary for the Re
publican majority to take up the appro-
priatiou bills and other measures which
should pass before the 18th of March
They say that they. have speeches as
sured for eight or ten days. and that
there are probably otaer senators who
will prepare speeches within that time.

.LANHAM URGES
UNITED PARTY
Texas Representative Speaks
i'll House.
MAKES PLEA FOR
SOLID DEMOCRACY
Tells Gold Men Not to Be Too
Gay.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The house to
day passed the fortifcatiens sppropria-
lions bill and made fair progress with
the postofice appropriation bill Dur
ing the general debate upon the former
bill Mr.. Lanham of Texas, delivered a
notable speech upon the future of the
Democratic party in which he made
a strong plea for the necessity of
united Democracy and counseled the
burial of the Ratchet and the welcom-
ing back of those who in the last two
presidential campaigns have declined to
support the nominees of the party.
Scores Gold Democrats Methods.
Mr.. Lanham reviewed the lines of
cleavage within the party with view
to ascertaining whether there was not
a common ground upon which the va
rious elements in the party could be
reunited for u future purpose He Of
fered his suggestions. he said, in a
pacific spirit, to ascertain whether the
gulf between the elements was impaS-
sable. The gold Democrats, he said
who bore none of the scars of battle.
now with unbridled audacity, did rot
propose to return like the prodigal son,
in humility. but came demanding as a
condition of their return that they
should head the procession. They OIL
fered very freely their unsolicited ad-
vice The talk of the reorganization of
the Democratic party, he said, was
pueriie and unkind. The talk of chang
ing the name of the party was dis
tasteful to the rank and file The Dem
ocratic party had suffered defeat many
times, but it would survive as lonS
as free institutions did.
Bryan Not Yet Dead.
The talk of shelving Mr. Bryan. he
said. was premature. He had fallen
with his back to the field and his feet
to the foe He was a splendid Ameri-
can citizen and d Democrat. 1t was
improbable that he would ever again
aspire to the nomination, but it was too
early to discuss the candidates of the
future The party had split upon the
silver question. Mr. Lanham pointed
out that no matter how firm the silver
Democrats stood to their faith. in the
present condition the hope OF bimetal-
lism would be long delayed. If it should
turn out that the silver question should
not be a disturbing question in the next
convention, what obstacle was there
to a complete reunion.
If those who have departed should re-
turn. not to absorb, but to TeassOciate
themselves with US, said Mr.. Lanham.
why should they not be relieved2 But
they must come prepared to subscribe
to the cardinal doctrine of the party
majority.
Mr.. Ianham was loudly applauded
and congratulated by the Democrats
when he concluded

Money, Lindsay. Butler and Petugrew.
Senator'S Clay and Turner also viii make
speeches in addition to those they have
already delivered on this question. 1t is
expected that Senator Gallery viii talk
at least two days sThc opposition also
count upon speeches from the Republican
side of the chamber, Senators Allison,
Perkins, SpOOner and McCumber being
included in the list of probable speakers
The canvass of the situation has con-
WINGED the Democratic leaders that there
are also half q dozen or more Repubh-
can senators who would like to see the
bill defeated in its present form, but who
do not expect 10 cast their votes if it
should come to q vote. On the other nand
they count upon the loss Of some of their
own membership in support OF the Dill.
The Democrats contend that they DO not
intend to filibuster against the bill. but
say they viii insist upon its thorough
discussion before COnsentlng to a vote
upon it. They take the position that if
there is to be extra session of con-
gress it viii be better for them TO have
the subsidy matter among the questions
to be considered by 1t. and say they are
willing, to take the responsibility of the
defeat by legitimate means Of this pro-
posed legislation.
