MISS ABBY ALDRICH.
Young John ID, Rockefeller's Bride to
BE IL Well known in Educa-
tiOnal Circles.

Miss Abby G. Aldrich's engagement
to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is univer-
sally talked about, although Miss Al
drich has not wide circle of acquaint-
ances at the capital. Senator Aldrich
has been in the upper house OF con-
gress for 20 years, but his family has
resided in Washington less than six
months during this entire period. Mrs.
Aldrich and her daughters have attend
ed several Inauguration ceremonies
but they did not tarry after the festlvl-
ties.
Miss Abby has the reputation OF be-
ing bookish and of making profound
study of all the intricate questions
connected with higher education. Sew
eral eminent educators OF Washington
assert that while Miss Aldrich's love
affair with Mr.. Rockefeller may date
only from July of this year, her inter-
est in his plans antedates this by sew
eral years. Some time ago there was
movement inaugurated to affiliate the
Columbian university with that OF Chi
cago.
Both institutions are under Baptist
patronage, and some of the trustees
Believed that the connection would be
mutually beneficial. Miss Abby AL
drich heard of this and visited Column
bian during one of her brief visits to
Washington. Her questions showed
deep knowledge of the problems at is
sue and convinced the authorities that
she would be a strong champion OF
their cause. These same professors ex-
press the belief that young Mr.. Rookie
Teller has shown the same wisdom in
the selection of wife as marked his
business career. Miss Aldrich, they
say, is not only entirely fitted TO take
her place with grace and dignity as the
wife of one of the richest men in the
world, but she is eminently capable of
assisting the large philanthropic
schemes in which the elder and the
younger Rockefeller are engaged.
Miss Lucy and Miss Abby Aldrich,
the only children of the Rhode Island
statesman, will inherit large fortunes,
but they are far from among the rich
est heiresses in the senatorial set.
There are several charming young
maidens whose papas can write checks
in the millions fluttering around in
the gay set at the capital. Senator

POINTS FOR AMERICANS.
Consul Martin Tells How Merchants
in United States Can Build
Up Trade in China.

Consul Martin, of Chinkiang, China,
has sent to the state department a
report on trade conditions in the ORR
ent which summarizes the possibility
of American trade in China in way
which has attracted attention, because
it goes to the root of the trouble. IF
foreigners ever build large trade in
China" says Consul Martin, sit must
be with the help of the Chinese them
selves, and this can be won only by
treating them with respect.
NO American can live in China long
without hearing that foreigners are
inclined to treat the Chinese negli-
gently, even when their interests
would seem to dictate an opposite
course. The Chinese naturally resent
this. The entire country should be
open to foreign trade and judicial
system should be formulated to meet
the requirements of all foreigners in
the empire.
''Much of the trouble in the past has
arisen from differences of opinion as
to what punishment would best SUBJ
serve the ends of justice. The likin
should be abolished in favor of some
other system of taxation that would
secure the required revenue.
"The likin, as now operated, I regard
as the most perfect method of extract
ing all conceivable profit from trade.
It's tendency is to localize trade by
hedging goods about with such ex-
pense that they cannot be moved.
"When commodities can be trans
ported from one end of China to the
other without any tax save the
freights, the whole nation will TEEN
with activity

apparently unarmed, but he did not
hesitate to rush on his enemy.
Sam presented his rifle, but It was
seized by the muzzle, jerked from his
hand, and broken againsta tree. Sam
turned and fed. Howard sprang on
his horse and followed, fourishing the
remains of the rifle.
Mandy shrank to one side of the
road, and her lover, his face livid with
terror, darted by without seeing her.
She determined to aid him to escape,
and sprang into the road in front OF
his pursuer, shouting and waving her
arms. Howard checked his horse and
brought him to a standstill.
"Please let him go, Abe, he's so
scared" pleaded Mandy.
"Sartin, if you ask it, Mandy" and
he grinned and threw away the broken
gun. .--.r -sA
She looked up and saw stalwart
form clad in homespun shirt and
trousers, straw hat, and one yarn
suspender. His brown eyes had a
merry twinkle in them, and his sun
burned face was far from forbidding.
II never knew he was so handsome"
thought Mandy. "And he's got lots of
sand, sure"
While she was looking at him he was
admiring her.
"She's as purity as a Kentuck fly"
he said to himself, as he noticed her
magnificent form, covered by calico
dress. Her mass of brown hair had
tumbled down, and as she took off her
sunbonnet to knot it up she disclosed
the full beauty of her gray eyes and
red cheeks.
"Where you going, Mandy?" he
asked.
"Over to see Aunt Nancy Styles"
"Can I give you lift?"
She hesitated, and before she could
make up her mind whether to refuse
or accept his invitation she found her.

They had very pleasant ride, but
Sam Williams was not mentioned. He
told her of his farm, the new cabin he

for Sunday only, and SO the time was
taken up till they reached her aunt's.
He waited till she was ready to start
home, and insisted on being her COM
pany for the trip.
It was nearly time for supper when
old John Scott saw Abe Howard riding
up the pathway to his cabin, and to his
surprise his daughter was riding be-
hind him.
''What on EARTH" said the old man,
looking to see that his gun was handy.
''Uncle john" said Abe, as he rode
up, Il come to ask you for Mandy"
For Mandy?"

Another good lady confessed that
she fell in love with her husband be-
cause he was the "enly man who ever
dared to snub her." While other men
were stumbling over each other to pay
her court and attention, he always
treated her with absolute Indifference
and even rudeness.
The consequence was that she deter.
mined to bring him to her feet and his
knees. She succeeded, but lost her
heart in the attempt.

Lady recently declared, "because he
was the only man about whom no one
was ever heard to say an unkind word.
Even the women, although he paid
them no especial attention, were
agreed that he was a darling;' and, al
though he was PLAIN, almost to ugli-
ness, and old enough almost to be my
father, loved him and determined to
marry him long before he had any such
thought of me-"
Not long ago Yorkshire lady of
wealth and beauty shocked her friends
by marrying a poor cripple. 1t had
come to her ears that he had long Loved

him that she had learned his secret
and offered her hand and fortune. This
may appear a strange and improbab bic
thing, but thousands know that it is
literally true.

explana ton of it: Among the friends
of her family was an old bachelor with
a reputation for crustiness, who had
known her from child and had often
nursed her in early days. TO her he
had always been gentle and kind, and
she had loved him Sin a way" as long
as she could remember.
One day she said: 'Why have you
never married, Mr.. -?" Marry, my
dear! Why, no one would ever marry
grumpy old man like me-" "Of course
they would" she answered, indignant
ly. 'Why, would marry you myself"
"Thank you, my dear!" came the unex-
pected answer; "then We'll consider

In spite of her surprise and misgiv-
ings the girl Loyalty kept her promise;
and she has never had reason to regret

A lady friend of the writer married
her husband for the very illogical rea-
son that he was an avowed woman

constantly that, as she says, II vowed

this: "Why did you fall in love with

that she did because she did, and that
