chase Estates to consider the propri-
ETY. of the st. Louis fair when it was
first suggested, all of the commission
should appropriate in the neighbor-
hood of $25O,OO0 for the states ex-
hibit at the fair. On the theory that
the legislature will not appropriate
than a quarter of a million for
this purchase, it is suggested that
more than that sum be asked, so that
it may be scaled down to legislative
requirements when the time comes.
The original commissioners favor the
selection of a fair commission to
serve without salary. In all probable
ity the management of the eXpendi-
ture of the appropriation, however
large, will be left in the hands of q
secretary and an executive commit
tee. 1t has been suggested that such
men as former Cows. F. M. Drake,
William Larrabee and Horace Boies
be selected for commissioners.

CHAPTER VIII.
THE PORTRAIT.

Sprague was seated before his easel
arranging his palette for the morn
ing's work. The unfinished portrait of
with eyes of living beauty. Occasional
ly the artist would bestow a deft
touch upon the glowing canvas and
would retire to a distance to note with
a critical eye the new effect. Then he
would consult his watch in nervous i'm
patience; and, going to the window,
he would glance a%nNiously up and
down the street. Once or twice the
rumble of wheels caused him to look
up in glad expectancy, which gradual
ly gave way to gloomy discomfort as
the noise died away in the distance.
AT length hope seemed to depart al
together from the young mans breast.
He threw down his brushes, gave up all
pretense of work and drifted off into a
brown study. His eyes, fixed upon
those of the portrait, had a troubled
look in them-so troubled that it was
clearly out of all proportion to the
Observation-Disclosures ola paint
er kept waiting for a fair subject.
So absorbed did he become in his
gloomy meditations, that, when at last
a carriage stopped before the house,
the artist did not hear it. But when,
presently, a gentle tap sounded upon
the door of the studio, he sprang to his
feet as if he had received an electric
shock.
Perhaps he had; for it was followed
by a rapid current of delicious thrills
tingling through every nerve and eff.
fecting in his whole being a sudden
and marvellous transformation. AT
once the furrowed brow was smooth;
the dropping lips were wreathed il
smiles; the troubled look gave way tc
one of glad welcome.

"But, indeed, Mr.. Sprague, I assure

'They have been the happiest hours
of my life" said Sprague, earnestly, in
a low voice, 'sand now they are nearly
gone-forever."
Agnes started slightly, blushed and
riveted her gaze upon the dainty white
hands which lay clasped together in
her lap. Her bosom rose and fell in
quickened ~undulations.

Henry w. Gave Orders That His Son

Chastised.
ITO Be Continued. ]

The family of Henri Tvs children
at ST. German did not, however, al
ways submit to the dauphin's whims,
says Mrs. Lucy Crump, in Atlantic.
One quaint little scene shows his eld-
est sister standing up for the rest.
The king had directed Nine. de Mong-
lat to give the Vendome and Verneuil
children their dinner with the dau-
phin and his sisters. Louis received
the order to allow Verneuil and the
chevalier to dine with him as a terri
BILE insult. wallets should not dine
with their masters" he said, angrily.
Little Madam Elizabeth preached at
him from her end of the table: 'Ha.
Jesus, monsieur, you must not do like
that. Nobody thinks you the kings
only son. One mustn't have fancies.
One gets spanked for them, smack,
smack. Mamanga will whip YOU
The dauphin held his peace, for whip
ping was no empty threat in the
nursery at st. German.
When Louis was six years old, the
king thus wrote to Nine. de Monglat,
the "mamanga' OF nursery language:
81 am vexed with you because you
have not sent me word that you have
whipped my son, for l wish and com
mand you to whip him every time he
is willful or naughty, knowing by my
own experience that nothing will d:
him so much good" And yet to mod.
ern ideas Nine. de Monglat does not
seem to have erred on the side of leni
ency. From the time the little prince
was two years old "fouette pour etrt
opiniatre" was a very frequent entr.
of Herouard's.

stood, with laughing brown eyes and
glowing cheeks, when Sprague threw
open the door. Alas, as usual, she was
accompaniedby her maid. Never mind;
was it not enough to have her there at
all, to bask in the sunshine of her
smile, to look into the dangerous
depths of those soul-stirring eyes, to
listen to the ripping of her silvery
voice?
"Ifear I am a little late, Mr.. Sprague;
I am sorry to have kept you waiting.
But you see this is how it vas"
What mattered it to him now how it
was? Was She not there? An eternity
of suspense and misery would have
been wiped out by that single entran-
cling fact. Her words beat upon his ear
like rapturous melody; he drank them
in, hardly conscious of their meaning.
Agnes Murdoch, followed by her
maid, proceeded at once to the dress
ing-room set apart for the use of the
artists models. When she returned,
dressed for the sitting, she assumed I'M
der Sprague's directions the pose of the
portrait. while the artist critically ar
ranged her draperies and adjusted the
shades and screens.
The maid had remained in the dress
ing-room.
"And so these are positively the last
final touches, are they, Mr.. Sprague?'
asked the young girl, mischievously,
| after a few minutes. you artistsseem
to be quite as uncertain about your
farewell appearances as any amous &C
tress or singer
The artist looked up quickly as the
girl spoke. An expression of pain
crossed his features.
Eyes, Miss MURDOCH" he answered,
gravely. 81 shall not have to trouble
you to pose again"
Miss Murdock's attention was at
tracted by the melancholy note in his
voice. She observed him from the cor
ner of her eyes in kindly curiosity.
The artist fell into a moody silence.
For awhile he worked with feverish ac-
tivity at the portrait; and then. grad
ually falling into a fit of melancholy
abstraction, he sat, with poised brush,
gazing lntently at the beautiful girl
before him. His task forgotten, he
was apparently unconscious that he
was taking advantage of his privileged
position to stare at his fair subject. Ag-
mes felt his burning glance and was en-
barrassed by it: but, womanlike, she
retained control Of herself, outwardly,
at all events, as she uttered some com
monplace remark, which broke the
spell and brought the artist to his
senses with a sharp consciousness of
his rudeness. He replied to the young
girls question in a low, changed voice,
and then relapsed into a gloomy silence.
After an awkward interval he asked,
suddenly:
"Are you SO very glad, Miss Murdoch,
that our sittings are almost over?"
"Why. no, Mr.. Sprague," replied Ag-
mes; 81 did not mean that. Of course

sometimes when the crowd is not

sometimes when the crowd is not
there?"
"We shall be happy to have you
call at anytime, Mr.. S%prague."
Sprague thought he detected a
slight emphasis on the pronoun.
But it is not we 1 wish to call on.
1t is you, Miss Murdoch"
"Of course / shall be pleased to
have you call at any time, Mr..
Sprague," she said, after a brief in
slant.
What more could any sane man ex-
pect a modest girl to say? 1t is not so
much the words spoken as the manner
of their utterance that conveys mean
ing. But it is a truism that a lover
is not a sane man. Sprague was not
yet satisfied. He was about to speak
again, when a knock sounded upon
the door.
1t was the hall-boy with a letter.
Miss Murdock?" he inquired, glanc-
ing in the direction of the young
girl.
For me?" exclaimed Agnes, sur
prised.
Yes, miss; a gentleman left it
for you"
Agnes took the letter, inspected it
%curiously for an instant; then, eN-
cusing herself, she tore open the en-
velope and unfolded the note which
it contained.
At once a deep flush suffused her
face, and an expression of annoyance
passed over her features. She glanced
up hastily at Sprague. who was APP
parently hard at work upon the back
ground of the picture.
The hall-boy was waiting expect
antly.
There is no answer" said Agnes
quietly.
And as the stern mandates of fash
ion either forbid a woman to wear
a pocket, or else decree hat it shall
be located in some particularly mac
cessible position, the young girl
dropped the letter and it's envelope
into her lap and resumed the pose.
When at last the time came for
Miss Murdoch to leave, Sprague ac-
companied her to her carriage. After
watching it until it disappeared
around the corner, he returned mood
lily to the studio.
AS he entered the room, his eyes
fixed in a vacant stare upon the floor,
he caught sight of something white
"a sheet of paper-resting there. Me-
chanically he pushed it to one side
with his foot.
The sunshine seemed to have gone
with Agnes Murdoch. A gloom had
fallen upon the place and it's occu-
pant. The artist tried to work; but
he was restless and depressed. At
length he threw down his brushes;
and rising from the easel. he put on
his hat and coat and started out for
a walk, in the hope that exercise
would drive away the blue devils
whose grip he felt tightening upon
his heartstrings.
Meeting some friends in the course
of his aimless wanderings, he was
persuaded to spend the rest of the
day in their company, and returned
to his bachelor quarters late in the
evening. tired enough physically to
obtain that healthful sleep which is
the boon of strong youth.

Mouth md Hoof Disease.

State Veterinarian j. /. Gibson, of
Denison, is receiving many reports of
the existence of the mouth and hoof
disease among cattle in this state. Al
ready a half score of localities have
reported infected horses to him.
Henry county is said to be the worst
affected at present. This disease has
swept over Europe and recently ap-
peared in New York. The veterinari-
an thinks it came to Iowa from New
York. Perfect isolation of the indi-
viduals which show symptoms of the
disease is the only hope for the
herd. A sore mouth is the original
symptom, and this causes slack feed
ing. Ulcers appear on the tongue and
mouth and an abundance of saliva es-
capes to the grass. This spreads the
disease to other members of the herd
and to the hoofs of the animals. The
affected and liberated portions of the
tongue and mouth slough off and the
hoofs fall off in bad cases of the dis
ease. 1t may be cured by prompt at
tention.
Railroad Surgeons.
AT their meeting in this city the
past week the Iowa Association of
Railroad Surgeons passed resolutions
indorsing the action of the physicians
of President Mckinley in their treat
ment of his injuries. The resolutions
had no opposition when proposed in
the convention. The surgeons decided
to go before the legislature to ask
for the passage of laws to protect
physicians from illegitimate suits for
damages for alleged malpractice,
which have grown alarmingly in mum
Der. President Gotham said in his
annual address that a majority Of
these suits are pure blackmail.
Landlords' Lien Law,
Secretary G. A. stibbens, of Red
Oak, of the National Association of
Grain Dealers, has announced that
the association will do all in it's power
to secure desired amendments to the
landlords lien laws in the coming ses-
sion of the Iowa legislature. 1t is the
desire of the grain men that landlords
be required to record leases with ten
ants covering growing grain OF grain
to be grown, so that grain dealers
will not buy the grain of the tenant
and then have to pay for it a second
time when the landlord seeks to en-
force his lien against it. Under the
present Iowa statute landlords do not
have to record their leases. The grain
men have no notice, therefore, of the
lien against the grain. The landlord
has and can enforce the first lien to
collect his rent. If the tenant has,
, sold the grain to a grain dealer and
delivered it, even, the landlord can
seize the grain in the elevator and
, recover it or it's value from the holder.
The grain men ask for a law compel
ling landlords who have leases cover
ing the grain to record them, so that
grain men will have notice of the
f liens. Such a measure as this came
f within a single vote of going through
y the last state senate. 1t was fought
by Senator w. r. Hartman, of Hamp-
ton, afterwards candidate for gov
v ernor, and who called it a
to discommode 100000 farmers to ac-
commodate 1000 grain dealers. The
e grain men resented this description

KEEP TO THE POINT.

Seattle Post t-Intelligencer.
We are in receipt Of a communication
from frequent and valued correspond
ent Of the st-Intelligencer which
takes exception to some recent articles
in these columns on the treatment of
the negro at the South. Its great
length makes it impossible to print It.
but the position taken may be referred
to briefly, as it is that common to
apologists for the present reacuonary
movement in the Southern states.
Not one reason has been given by any
one for the franchise conditions now
being adopted at the South for the
purpose of excluding the negro from the
ballot. This talk about negro domina-
tion" is supremely meaningless. The
last possibility Of thar vanished twenty
five years ago. The North does not de-
sire 1t, but the South is not in fear Of
it. II is a mere chimera; and states in
which it is most obviously a phantom
have been eager to forbid the black
man to vote.
We hold that, when a portion of the
voting population is excluded from the
suffrage, then the representation Of the
state affected in congress should be re-
duced proportionaIly, as provided by
