joying herself hugely. Why had she
never before had such a good time with
her aunt and cousin? The friend was
not at all in the way. He told capital
stories.
John Wakem was the first to leave.
AS he was going out of the door Mar
jory looked at him with a start. She
had not forgotten the circumstances
under which she had seen that back,
the same overcoat and hat. No, she
could not be mistaken. At last she was
sure of the owner of the umbrella. She
wanted to hasten after him; but she
could not make a scene before her
nized her. Yes, she was certain he
had. She remembered one or two queer
looks he had given her, as If compar-
ing her with some one. How mortified
she felt! What a predicament!
If her aunt thought her somewhat
distract after her other guest left II
was not surprising. AS soon as posi-
BILE Marjory made her adieus and hast
ened home.
Once in her own room she thought II
all over. Mr.. Wakem must have his
umbrella; but was ever anything sc
embarrassing? Finally she decided hel
only possible course was to write him
note asking him to call for his UNI
brella.
He did call on Marjory, and although
that call was the end of the umbrella

She Ido1ized Her Husband and Worked
IncessantIy for Him.
1t is customary to consider Mrs. Nc
Kinley a woman of gentle rather than
courageous character. She is gentle,
but she Is also courageous and deter
mined, for no more gallant struggle
was ever waged than the one which
she made to aid her husband and to dis
charge successfully the duties that de-
volved upon his wife. During his cam
paigns she was accustomed to aid him
in many ways. She always opened his
mail and arranged 1t In the order Of
its Importance for replies. She received
his political friends and won innumer-
able adherents to the Mckinley banner
by her charming personality.
She was always hopeful, never des-
pairing about her own condition as
about others, and when in Washington
it became necessary for her. both as the
wife of the Congressman at first and as
the first lady of the land afterward, to
take upon herself in some measure the
burden Of social leadership she refused
to abandon her responsibility on any
plea of invalidism, and in spite of diff
ficulties which would have made an
other woman falter, she acquired an

enviable reputation as a charming host
ess and an attractive gentlewoman.
The spirit of devoted love which had
surrounded her since her marriage was
responsible for an innovation In White
House etiquette. Until the Mckinley
regime the Presidents wife always sat
opposite him at a state dinner, with the
British Ambassador to her right, but
Mrs. Mckinley at all the state dinners
was seated at her husbands side,
where, If she became faint during the
dinner, he could care for her.
Mrs. Mckinley also showed the heroic
side of her character by her determine
ton to attend all the public ceremonies
in which her husband was a conspicu-
Gus figure. She travelled thousands OF
miles to be with him on these occa-
sions. She was always charmingly
gowned for these occasions, and II ID
said that the President had hand In
the choosing Of many a ceremonial bon
net.
There was in Mrs. McKinley's feeling
for her husband the lovable, illogical
passion of a woman. Even a political
enemy of his was always a personal
enemy of hers. She never could bear to
read any portion Of newspaper or
other publication which had at any
time attacked her husband. A man
who spoke Ill Of him was to her a man
under ban.
A political opponent Of President Nc
Kinley's once declared that he had two
virtues: HE would fight and he loved
his wife" In Mrs. Mckinley these vir-
tues are Identical. She loved her hus-
band, and because Of this she would
fight, and has done so, well and valiant
ly, both his enemies and her own
death and disease, the weakness Of the
spirit and the flesh.

The first annual report of Governor

clear idea of the nature of the task the
Americans have before them in bring
ing the island of Porto Rico up to mod
ern ideas of civilization. Sanitation. as
we understand it, is unknown in Porto
Rico. Filth is everywhere. There are
no sewers. Cesspools open into kitch-
ems and bakeries. The water supply is
commonly contaminated and the
masses sleep in close rooms, despite the
hot weather and bad odors. Cisterns
are polluted by filth accumulated on
the fat roofs and wells are almost uni
versally close to the cesspools. The
waterworks of San Juan and Ponce are
In bad condition and the water supply
is positively dangerous. Garbage dis
posal has never received attention,
Cemeteries are crowded and skulls lie

Grated. However. the same energy that
has cleansed Cuba has begun on Porto
Rico, and the Porto Ricans will have to
learn to be clean in spite of centuries OF

The truth is that stamping out an
archy" is one of--thase things which
are easier said than done. The only
effective way of doing it is to raise a
generation of people none of whom be-
lieve in anarchy. There is no warrant
or excuse for anarchy of this type in
the United States. We must do every
thing that is possible to discourage its
existence and to prevent its spread. But
it is hard to see how we can go much
further than to enforce the spirit of
existing laws. We are dealing with
evil traits of human nature, which are
not to be eliminated from the race in

speed of Railway Trains.

No comparison could be drawn few
years ago between the speed of British
and foreign express trains. 1t was q
case of Great Britain first, the rest no
where. Foxhall Keene, just returned
from England, is quoted in an inter-
view as saying that 1--WE can beat the
English doing anything" Mr. Keene
is no idle boaster. A few months ago
a shooting team went to England to try
conclusions at the traps. There was
no contest. 1t was a case of America
first, England nowhere. The fastest
trains in the world and the fastest plat
form to platform runs no longer belong
to England. The Scotch night express
es on the east and west coast routes
are still marvels of endurance and
speed, but they do not compare with
the Empire State express, which makes
the run from New York to Buffalo in
eight hours and fifteen minutes, an in
elusive rate of speed of 53.3 miles an
hour

Greenland coast. He struck out across
the sea ice for the pole, but was stopped
by broken ice and open water at about
IS degrees north-the highest altitude

There are a good many people who be-
lieve that all the pole hunters are stark,
staring mad, and that the whole arctic
exploration business is rank folly. II
is a pretty good thing to learn all that
is possible about this big world that
belongs to mankind, and the debt that
humanity owes to explorers is so great
that it can never be settled. The men
who reach the pole may not discover
gold mines or precious stones, or any
thing that can be turned into money.
Most of them are fighting ice and dis
ease and starvation in the awful
north because of the restless energy
that is in them, and not because there
| is hope of financial reward. They are
working for the glory of the whole CIV

When an era of competition has re-
suited in an excessive investment in
fixed capital, much of which is Of low
competitive power, little can be gained
by mere combination of plants and
an effort to pay dividends on the whole
volume of stock. If prices are kept
high enough to pay such dividends, the
inevitable result is fresh competition
from the outside. If dividends are paid
without proper provision for better
ments, the result is disaster. If no div
idends are paid, there is dissatisfaction.
The remedy in either case is found in
reorganization, which means the eIimi-
nation Of fictitious values.
