"Mr. Bradford refers to instruction in

"Does she fancy she can make a liv-

Preston. "She told me once that she
could be a model. It's enough to kill
me to tell such things to a stranger,
but that's what she said. She thought
she could earn her board that way and
get some artist to teach her besides.
She thinks she's so beautiful that
they'd be willing to teach her and pay
her wages just for the sake of painting
her picture"
Bradford smiled sadly.
"The idea is absurd, of course" he
said. Nothing of the sort could hap
pen. 1t is possible that she might make
a scanty living by posing, but she
would find no artist who would give
Iher any instruction unless she had the
money to pay for it. We are mer-

els are to us like so many pieces of

anything except how to stand in one

was an acquaintance of many years

Mrs. Preston was tall, gaunt, elder

high pitched voice.

wasted time in beating about the BUSH
She made this very remarkable sugges-

sharp as an ak.

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1901-03-16

According to the latest advices
Senators Daniel and Martin are not
only for Hon. Claude A. Swanson tor
Governor but will work for his nomi-
nation. That they would give him
their support causes no surprise and
should not be much ground for alarm
TO those who favor the nomination
OF some one else for the highest office
in the gift of the people of Virginia.
1t being generally understood that
they were for Mr.. Swanson, an open
declaration of the fact on their part
cannot improve his chances, unless
the people of Virginia are incapable
of thinking for themselves and are
willing to allow them to dictate to
them how they shall vote, and the
conclusion, at least, is not warranted
so far by the developments in the
canvass, that they are prepared to &C
cept them as masters and to say lead
on, we Will Hollow" lie people may
not know as well how to vote as our
Senators can tell them, but they will
be hard to convince at this time that
their interests, rather than the well
fare of the people, will not control
them in the Jealous support which
they will give MIR. Swanson for Cover
nor. AS the Norfolk Ledger very
pertinently remarks; "In the present
Gubernatorial campaign it is not a
question as to the choice of the Vir-
gibia Senators for Governor, hut as
to the choice of the people of the
Commonwealth" and we mistake
the temper of the people of the State
at this time if they do not make
their choice regardless of the wishes
of our Senators.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1901-03-16

Benjamin Harrison, ex-President
of the United States died at his home
in Indianapolis on Wednesday and in
noting his demise, we voice the SEN
timent of the people of every section
of our land in saying, that bis death
is a great loss to the country. Par
tisan as he was at times and disposed
to be unfair, as he often seemed to
be, in his dealings with the people OF
the South, there was much in his life
and character that commanded the
respect of everyone, however much
they may have differed with him in
the past. His reputation as man of
unblemished character no one ever
seems to have questioned and though
not equal in ability with some of the
Presidents, he possessed many of the
qualities of true craftsmanship.
Taken out of politics there was
much in his life to admire, as appears
in the following from the Baltimore
Sun: when the Republican party
became the champion of the colonial
policy Mr. Harrison did not hesitate
to express his dissent. He was out
spoken in condemning the course of
the Administration in respect to the
Porto Rican tariff, pronouncing it a
grave departure from correct prin-
p ciples." Neither did he approve the
policy of his party in regard to the
war in South Africa. Mr.. Harrison
was in sympathy with all weak coun-
tries striving to achieve indepens
dence or to maintain it, and he could
not understand how any American
could assume any other attitude.
With many of the ablest statesmen
this country has produced, he was
resolutely opposed to an alliance be
tween the United States and any
foreign power. On the whole he was
man whose Americanism was of the
best and most wholesome type, who
held tenaciously to the principles for
mulated by the founders of the Re-
public and believed in the Constitu-
ton"
