When your Republican friend at

rule that makes hogs and cattle higher
does not apply to sheep as well. The
poor sheep, so amply protected by the

way. The man who doesn't know that
supply and demand controls the price
of a commodity should be made to go
away back and sit down.-Black Hills,

Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma
are all getting ready TO apply for ad-
mission as States. but oklahoma seems
the only one which has much chance
of success. Oklahoma, at the last CEN
sus, had a population of 39S.331 and
has since made a large addition. If

Congress beside the two Senators.
While the money question was upper
most, and Western States showed a
tendency to go POpulist, no State could
hope 10 get in. but now it is believed
Oklahoma could be trusted" The
Republicans will have 4 natural desire
TO make friend of the new State by
being sponsor for its introduction into
the sisterhood. The only thing now
in the way of Oklahoma is the argu-
ment that as soon as the necessary
treaties are cOnSummated with the re-
manning Indian tribes that the whole
territory of Indian Territory VIII be
added TO it, and that this can be more
easily and simply done while the terri
torial status is maintained. As to New
Mexico. there is no likelihood Of ad-

us If we was married. Mother used to
tell father so when he said he'd run

Easy 'nough," Jimmy answered with
all the confidence Of superior knowl-
edge. There's a church by Trafalger
Square where folks get married most
every day. I've sneaked in once or
twice. They stands in front of some
railin's, and a man in a long white shirt

gan to ask questions.
Jimmy told her all he knew about
himself. He had neither father nor
mother. Sal Steer brought him up, but
she beat him so that he couldn't stand
it any longer, and he hadn't been home
for more than a month. II amt a-goin',

Where do you live?" asked AIS.

Jimmy didn't answer Immediately.
"Yus," he said, when he had fully
considered the matter, "TTl have to sleep
there If 1 don't have no more luck
Jimmy conducted his weary little COM
panion to Grecian lane. 1t was poor
hospitality, that bleak doorway, but he
had no better to offer, and, in one re-
spect, It could scarcely be improved up
on. The lane bore such a desperate
character that policemen always walked
In the middle Of the road at night. so
occupants Of the doorways and entries
generally escaped observation.
Next day Jimmy's fortune was no
worse than usual, but he had two
mouths to- feed now, and the doorway
in Grecian lane was again their resting
place. This was tho case for rather

Jimmy and AIS might have been seen
hanging about st. Martins Church.
Toward II a string of carriages drew
up in front of the church.
Come on, ATs!' Jimmy cried. "a
marryin's jest goin' ter begin"
And in the crowd, unnoticed by any Of
the officials, they stole into the church
and toward the chancel. and. concealed
by n pillar, waited hand in hand for the
ceremony to begin.
Neither could understand the clergy
mans opening words; but he had no
more reverent listeners than those two
pathetic little figures. When he asked
the question beginning Wilt thou have
this woman" and the bridegroom an
swered. Il WILL" Jimmy was caught
mapping, or perhaps he did not under
stand; but when came the brides turn
to answer, II WILL" he was ready to
prompt AIS.
Say I wil,'" he whispered.
II WILL" faltered AIS.
"Nob'dy can part us now" said AIS
as they descended the church steps, the
ceremony over.
Twelve hours later Doctor Barnett,
the well-known philanthropist, passed
through Grecian lane, accompanied by
the superintendent Of one Of his homes
and a police sergeant, and followed a
little distance by a closed carriage.
They were engaged in rescue work.
From time to time the officer flashed his
bullseye on a doorway or entry.
Suddenly he stopped. 1t was before
Jimmy's temporary home.
Here are two, doctor! he exclaimed.
Doctor Barnett approached noiselessly
and stood looking down at the ragged
waits nesting in their corner.

A burly young backwoodsman, sun.
burnt. hard as nails, to Judge by his
appearance, was walking down Mont
calm street. Quebec. studying the num-
bers and tradesmen's names as be went.
Presently he pulled out a letter and read
1t. 1t was dated from London:
My Dear James-I have much pleas
ure in informing you that Alice Graham
went to Canada, with twenty-four other
girls, in May last. Her address is care
Of Mr.. LIE Croi1, 1O1 Montcalm street.
Quebec. I am very glad to learn you
are doing so well, and 1 hope you will
continue to prosper. Your sincere
friend, ROBERT BARNETT"
This was at least the one hundredth
time that Jimmy had read Doctor Bar
nett's communication, as its ragged
state testified.
Il wonder If she'll know me? 1t isn't
hardly to be expected. 1 shall know
her, though-no fear that 1 sha'nt."
No. 1O1 proved to be a private house
Of considerable size. Jimmy rang. A
neat maid opened the door.
Can l see Alice Graham?' he asked.
Miss Graham is with the children"
Miss Graham is with the children"
was the answer. IF you step this way
l will tell her. What name shall 1 give
here"
Il had rather not send in my name"
said Jimmy.
His reflections in the room into which
he was shown were interrupted by the
entrance Of a young lady. A puzzled
expression was on her oval, dimpled
face, and in her big black eyes.

Dead Love.

Two loves had 1. Now both are dead.
And both are marked by tombstone
white.
TIL one stands in the churchyard near
The other hid from mortal sight.
The name on one all men may read.
And learn who lies beneath the stone;
The other name is written where
No eyes can read It but my own.
On one l plant a living flower.
And cherish 1t with loving hands:
i h u the single withered leaf
That tells me where the other stands.
To that white tombstone on the hill
In summer days 1 often go;
From this white stone that nearer lies
1 turn me with unuttered woe.
o God. l pray, If love must die,
And make no more Of life a part.
Let witness be where all can see.
And not within a living heart.
