One Hundred Years Ago.

On the fourth of the coming March
ed, the FIRST President of the twentieth
century. One hundred years ago, on
the fourth of March, Thomas Jefferson
was inaugurated, the first President OF
the nineteenth century, the third Pres
fdeut of the United States, and the
FIRST President of the Democratic
party. Thomas Jefferson was an ad-
vocate of strict construction, of small
standing army and navy, of state
riE.hts, even to the point of nu1lifica-
tiaea, and an exponent of free trade.
But the course of events after the
election of Jefferson was rather disas-
Groas TO the doctrines and tenets that
he had so fond1y cherished when he
went into Office. In the first place the
trouble growing out of the secret
treaty of Spain with France whereby
the territory of Louisiana was g1ver
the administration to take some steps
for the protection of the traders dwell
ing along the Mississippi. 1t resulted
In ehe purchase of Louisiana, which
though President Jefferson had t.
strain the constitution to the.utmost t.
accomplish, he was quick and willing
TO do despite his strict construction
principles. Thus the necessities of thu
case made the first great expansions
of the United States out of the frs
great anti-expansionist and strict con
Structionist.
In the next place the impertinence
of the belligerents of Europe occasion
ed SO much trouble over the commercial
rights of the United States that it wa
Only too evident that something mus
be deue to insure the respect of TIL
quarre1ing powers for the rights o
memtra1s. The 'tpaper blockade" AM
the impressment of American sea
men, followed by the attack on tn
Chesapeake, provoked nothing NOR
drastic than the "non-importation'
and the 'embargo" acts from TIL
peaceful army and navy opposing JET
ferson. In the administration of hi
successor, however, the inevitable wa:

Burglars Make Successful Raid at
the Home of Ollie Hoye on
Saturday Night.
VALUABLE JEWELS ARE TAKEN.
Men Entered the House During the Alb
sence of the Family and Sought
Money or Jeweiry.

Burglars made successful raid on
the residence of Ollie Hoye on Con-
gress street last Saturday night, and
in half an hour they managed 20 carry
away jewels to the amount of over
$50. The case was reported. to the
police Saturday night, but they have
not as yet been able to get any trace
of the guilty parties.
The robbery was a most daring one,
and must have been committed early
in the evening. Mr.. Hoye issemployed
at the Hale grocery store, and as he
did not go home until late in the even
ing his wife had gone. to the home of a
neighbor to await his coming. When
Mr. and Mrs. Hoye reached home at
II O'Clock the house was in turmoil.
The burglars had made their en-
trance by side window and it is evil
dent that the action of Mrs. Hoye had
been closely watched and the men en-
tered the house as soon as she left it.
They made a careful search of the
rooms, taking only money and jewe1ry.
The house was generally torn up, but
the burglars overlooked several hum
dred dollars worth of silver. They
evidently got away without being
seen, as no trace of them could be
found on the return of E.the RHoye
family.
Mr.. Hoye at once reported the case
to the police and the entire force, in
Guiding the Chief, made search of
the town. The only clue is a large
footprint, Isle about number III which
was found near the window by which
the burglars entered the house.
Mr.. Hoye gave the police the follow
ing list of things taken: One diamond
ring, one opal and diamond ring, two
child's rings, one opal and diamond
breast pin, one pocket book containing
a small amount of money.
The police seem to be of the opinion
that the burglary was done by local
talent and several suspects are being
carefully watched.
Now that the burglars have started
work again people should take warning
and see that doors and windows are
carefully locked when houses are left
alone.

In still another respect the first
President of the nineteenth century,
starting out with principles averse to
those of the first President of the
twentieth century, was compelled to
sacrifice his principles to the exegen-
cies of the times. Jefferson had been
the originator of the Kentucky and
Virginia resolutions, which were them
selves the precursors of the great nulli
fcation act. These resolutions were
prompted by the alien and sedition
laws, and insinuated that the state and
the federal government were united by
contract, and that each state had the
power to decide for itself as to the
right of Congress to pass any law, and
to apply remedy. That same en-
barge act, that caused so much trouble
for Jefferson, also aroused the New
England States to state of fermenta-
ton, which called upon the great orig
ina1 nullifer to suppress an exercise OF
the power of notification by the said
New England States.
Thus was Thomas Jefferson, one of
the greatest statesmen of his country
and his century, frequently compelled
by force of circumstances and the in
exorable demands of craftsmanship to
forego and abandon the principles
which he held as primary. And there
in lies the secret of the greatness OF
the revered Jefferson. When the crisis
came his eye was keen enough to see
beyond his prejudices, or even his cher
ished principles, to the true interests
of the country. The principles which
the statesman Jefferson found it neces-
sary to repudiate, have since been rec
ognized as hostile to the interests of
the nation. Those principles which
Jefferson, in the two terms of his ad-
ministration, and his successor, found
to be the props of the prosperity and
growth of the United States, are the
accepted principles of the first Presi-
dent of the twentieth century. Jefer-
son was gifted with that inner sight
which enabled him to see IN the midst
of the turmoil of the times, what 9th
ers must appeal to history and expert
ence to comprehend. But history has
taught it's lesson, and the people of the
United States begin the new century
with the unreasonable advantage de-
rived from the recorded wisdom of men
like Jefferson and Madison.

What is in store for the United
States in the present century? When
the century just ended began it was
the comforting thought of the citizens
of the new Republic that there stretched
to the West and the North of them a
1init1ess, track1ess, unexplored domain
that would be the abode of the hardy
frontiersmen, the dwelling place
of the rude pioneers for centuries to
come. When the discoveries of Gray
and the explorations of Clark and
Lewis laid open the vast underlined and
unconfned West to the people of the
United States and the rest of the
world, the mind of man could not con-
ceive the countless ages that should
pass before that great expanse of ter
ritorY would be the habitation of man
and the home of thriving cities. The
people of those days did not even
dream of a time when steam transpor-
tatiou and telegraph and telephone
should build up great cities on the
very edge of the Western sea and bring
the Columbia and the Pacific, vague
realities in the minds Of the men of
the day, within speaking distance of
the New England States. But all
these things have come to pass, and
within the comparatively short time
of little less than a century. Then
what of the future?
Already those magnificent dis
tances that completely baff1ed the con-
ception of the fathers of the country
have become all too short. Those
broad expanses have become too con-
fined, and those countless acres too few
indeed for the rapidly growing popula-
ton of the United States at the begin
ming of the twentieth century. AL
ready it overfows the confines ard
reaches out for other fields. It's mighty
progress cannot be staid. The gen
Jus of advancement that has SO over
1eaped the bounds of all precedent in
the last one hundred years cannot be
restrained or contained within limits
that it has already outgrown. Having
brought under it's mastery the tracts
beyond the Mississippi and the Rock
les, it will not pause at the brink Of
the sunny Pacific. But what is its
goal? Hawaii and the islands of the
Philippine archipelago were in its
grasp before the cradle century of the
nation had breathed it's last. Mex
lie the areas of China with their seeth
ing populations. Is there room there
for the children of the twentieth cen
fury? The old must ever fall before
! the new. The children of decaden
civilization cannot and before the
march of the offspring of regenera
ton. Either the creatures of the pres
ent day progress and civilization mus
dispossess the sons of the Orient, or
breathe new life into a decaying EN-
pire, and find employment for their en-
ergies in building new nation from
| the ruins of an old.

DOLLY'S AMBITION.

NH, dear. I wish could be an artist
W and paint pictures. Cinthy Jones
says those artists make heaps of money,
aunt Ophelia. And how much nicer to
do such work than to teach country
schoolP
Dolly Relyea leaned her golden head
upon small hard, hand not ignorant
of contact with broom and dishcloth.
and pair of big brown eyes gazed
through the open window with wistful
look.
The window framed in with fragrant
honeysuckle, through which you could
see the pine woods beyond. The dear
old pine woods lying cool and green
and odorousunder the smiling blue sky
hushed and solemn save for the distant
clang of hammer, where Edgar Dali
toms new house was going up, slow but
sure.
Miss Ophelia Relyea. gaunt. severe
looking spinster, kneading bread at the
snowy pine table near. glanced up with
grim look.
Make fool O. yourself. more likely
she sported. why child, h'aint you
got more sense than to think that all
you've got to do is to set right down
with brush and canvas and the pictures
will paint theirselves7 ! tell you, ii a
person aint got the nat'rel gift or pow.
er, what on tho airth is the use o them
tryin? Now, look at mel How would
I look, dye think. a. writin' poem? |
couldn't never make two words rhyme
together to save my head Or, how
would I do a-paiutin' a picture? I
never could draw straight line in all
the born days O my life. l tell you,
Dolly. if you aint got the gift taint no
use tryln' to be writer or painter, uu-
less you learn to paint houses and signs
and l allow that aint no proper busines
for a woman. No, Dolly, you can't
never be an artist
u know | could do it, auntie. And
how am | to prove that | cant until |
have first tried? I'm tired to death of
the old schoolhouse, and the work at
home after the school hours are over.
And I'm sure it cant be hard work to
paint pictures
'Humph! l knowed feller that died
at 1t. Worked hsself to death;or maybe
twas the nasty paints. And Dolly
with sudden change of subject->vou
aint obleeged to teach school ef you
don't want to. Ed Dalton thinks his

a good farm, and new house goin' up

settle down in the country, interrupted
Dolly, warmly. Iwasn't born for a
farmers wife, aunt Ophelia. am de-
termlned to live in the city. 1t is awful
to be buried here in the Wilderness
Dol Relyear Miss Ophella took her
hands from the dough and faced her
niece, her gray eyes flashing fire. You'll
be sorry for that some day. Not stay
in the oountry-tne pure, clean honest

my words, Dolly Relyea, you'll regret
what you've said before long,
Mot until I've tried,' she returned
! firmly. Auntie, it's not right for you
to take care of me as you have done,
ever since was lett homeless orphan
until. was able to teach a country
school; l must do something to help you
and the school is not much, you know.
No, am going to try my skill at paint
ing picture. am ambitious and con.
fdeut of success; and l never could
marry a common farmer, Aunt Ophe-
lla.' she added.
Even as the words passed her lips,
tall, straight figure in plain dark clothes
and broad brimmed straw hat and
snowy shirt sleeves passed along by the
open window
A dark, manly face with heavy
brown mustache and pair of gray eyes
which gave Dolly one QUICK, startled
glance, and then with bow, Edgar
Dalton turned away. A strange thrill
went through the girls heart; then her
eyes flashed deiantly.
He heard what said and I'm glad
Of it, Dolly muttered sharply; for now
he will never ask me to marry him, and
I like Edgar too well-as a-as-a
brother to wish to wound his feelings.
But how grieved he looked. And what
very handsome eyes he has, to be sure
Silence for the space of ten minutes;
then Dolly arose and shook out the
shirt of her pink lawn dress with an air
of determination.
1t was Saturday morning therefore
the little schoolma'am was exempt from
duty for that day.
NIL get my portfolio and go down to
the river she said, softly; u have a
beautiful picture already in my head,
and can sit on the river bank and
sketch easily. and no one will disturb
me there
Tying on her big sun hat and armed
with portfolio and drawing materials,
the young aspirant to fame and the
shekels which follow. set forth.
She was soon seated, quite out Of
range of the house and Miss Opheia's
rasping voice, upon log. her head bent
over the sheet of paper upon the open
portfolio on her knees, and prepared to
give herself up to inspiration. But alas,
the "beautlful picture" which she aver.
red was in her head seemed inclined to
remain there. She had gnawed the end
of her pencil quite off befol stray idea
began to filter through her brain; an
idea upon which the sketch was to be
made. afterward to be transferred to
canvas.
II do not wonder that the young man
died, of whom Aunt Ophelia told me-
she confessed at last. My brain is all
in a turmoil; my head aches; the mos
quitoes haye found me out, and l-oh

Dolly began to believe that there was
fate in this. Before long she had told
