UNdUARDED GATES.
BY T. q. ALDRIcH.

Wide men and uuguarded stand our gates,
Named Of the tour winds, North, SOUTH East and "
Portals that lead TO an enchaoted land
OF cities, forests, fields of living gold.
Vast prairies, lordly SUBMITS touched with snow
Maiesuc rivers sweeping proudly past
The Arabs date-palm and the NOrseman's pine
A realm wherein are fruits Of every zone,
Airs of chimes, for lol throughout the year
The red rose blossoms somewhere-a rich land,
A later Eden planted IN the wilds,
With not an inch of earth within its bound
But if a slaves foot press it sets him free.
Here il is written, Toll shall have Its wage,
And honor Honor, and the humblest man
Stand level with the highest in the law.
OF such a land have men in dungeons dreamed,
Aud with the vision Frightening in their eyes
Gone smiling to the fagot and the sword.
Wide open and uuguarded stand our gates,
And through them presses a wild motley throng-
Men from the Volga and the Tartar sseppes,
Featureless figures of the Hoang-Ho,
Malayau, %Scythian, Teuton, Celt and Slav,
Flying the Old Worlds poverty and scorn;
These bringing with them unknown gods and rites,
Those, tiger passions, here to stretch their claws.
In street and alley what strange tongues are loud,
Accents of menace alien to our air.
Voices that once the tower of Babel knew.
0 Liberty, white Goddessl Is it well
To leave the gates unguardedP On thy breast
Fold Sorrows children, soothe the hurts of fate,
Lift the down-trodden, but with hand OF steel
Stay those who to thy sacred portals come
To waste the gifts of freedom. Have a care
Lest from thy brow the clustered stars be torn
And trampled IN the dust. For so of old
The thronging Goth and yandal trampled Rome,
Aud where the temples Of the Caesars stood
The lean wolf unmolested made her lair.

When he examined the pleas OF his
Rennes advocate he was amazed to
find in them the clearest and most
eloquent exposition of his case that had
been made during the years of litiga-
ton. Shortly afterward, Waldeck-
Rousseau, having interested himself in
local politics, was chosen to represent
Rennes in the Paris Chamber of DepQ-
ties, and Dreyfus- Gonzales, to the as
constituent of the Paris bar, intrusted
the legal management of all his af-
fairs to the unknown Breton deputy.
He succeeded no less a man than M.
Grevy, who had relinquished his law
practice upon his election to the presi-
dency The appointment made some
stir in the legal and political world
and gave Waldeck- Rousseau an imme-
date standing in the Chamber.
Gambetta was then president of the
Chamber and the undisputed leader of
French Republicanism. He saw and
admired qualities in Waldeck- Rousseau
which he himself lacked and with his
usual impulsiveness almost at once
admitted the young deputy to his
friendship and confidence. When, in
1880, Gambetta formed his Grand Min
istry," he gave Waldeck- Rousseau the
Department of the Interior, the most
desirable portfolio in the cabinet from
| the point of view of patronage and po-
ut1cal influence. But the ''GranQ Min
| istry'' came to an end in two months
and its failure closed Gambetta's po-
| litical career. Only Waldeck- Rousseau
| wrung from him a personal success
| The reputation he gained as an admin
istrator and civil reformer secured him
| the portfolio in the Jules Ferry cabi
net of 1882.
Earned S5O,OOO n Year Mt Law.
When the Ferry cabinet fell, the
longest in Office except Waldeck- Rous-
seau's own, Waldeck retired from po-
litical life and devoted himself to law.
He became leader of the Paris bar
with a professional income of about
$50, 900 a year. 1t remained for the po-
litical events growing out of the Drey-
fus trial to bring him back into public
life.

ship of France was going begging.
Cabinet after cabinet had been over
thrown and the country seemed ripe
for revolution. Even inconsequential
persons like Count Boni Castellane
were for the moment exalted into prom
inence by their comical attempt to up
set the government by smashing Presi-
dent Loubet's hat at a race course. The
situation demanded a strong man and
by a happy inspiration the President
called upon Waldeck- Rousseau. A
change was almost Immediately ap-
parent Instead of cabinet from one
political group, Waldeck- ousseau
got other strong men wherever he
could find them. Millerand, the So
cialist, Gallifet, an irascible old marti-
net, with a silver stomach in place of
the one shot away in the Mexican war,
were among those chosen. Their first
Job was to get the Dreyfus case out
of the way which they did in a man
ner which by no means satisfied every
body, but with a finality that prevent
ed further agitation. Then came two
years of hard administrative work

One agitator after another was
squelched. l remember being in Paris
when Paul Deroulede was trying to
make a General Boulanger of himself.

the plain people, he was riding up and
down the boulevards. receiving cheers
and gaining a considerable following.
Waldeck- Rousseau thought him over
during the consumption of one cigar
cite and packed him over the frontier
where he still languishes. The admin
istrative sword of Napolean was COM
ing into play. The next official heads
to fall into the basket were those of
high army officers who had been pay
ing more attention to politics than to
drill.
There was tremendous uproar, but
nothing happened and the administra-
tive machine ground on. The next adj
versary was a much more difficult one.

so he ruled nearly two years before his
countrymen realized how great and
how strong a man he was. Instead of
another man on a black horse to lead
France to new conquests here was a
quiet gentleman in a black coat, who
abhorred conquests and had strong
penchant for discovering laxative
army officers More than this he does
not look the typical Frenchman,
being unusually tall even by the Eng
lish or American standard, stiff and
angular in appearance, rather diffident
in his manner, stunning notoriety and
attention.
Once Had Artistic Ambitions.
Waldeck-Rosseau received his de-
mocracy from his father, who was one
of the founders of the short-lived Sec
ond Republic, and his quiet determine
ton from the people of Vendee, among
whom he was born at Nantes, Dec. 2,
1916. At one time he thought of being
an artist and became quite proficient in
water color painting, but soon aban-
doned this except as a pastime and
studied law. After being admitted to
the bar he became secretary to M. Du-
fret, then described as the first of
French forensic orators. Then came
the Franco-Prussian war. When Gam
BETA escaped from Paris in balloon
| and called for his ''levee en- masse,"
| Waldeck- Rousseau volunteered and re-
| ceived a captains commission, but
never saw service.
Like Renan and many another great
Frenchman, Waldeck-Rousseau began
| his real career at Rennes, the ancient
capital of Brittany. He labored in
| conspicuously before the Court of APP
peals, until a lucky chance, which he
had the ability to grasp, made his for
| tune. A leading merchant, NJ. Drey-
! fus Gonzales, had before all the courts
| of France the same case, concerning
maritime rights, in which the greater
part of his large fortune was involved.
His lawyer at Rennes retired and with
! some misgiving the merchant sent the
particulars of his case to Waldeck-
Rousseau. The merchant kept stem
ographic reports of all his lawyers
speeches in the different courts

From the Cornhill.

Alluvial deposits are the ruby bear
ing strata, and it is chiefly in the sand
or gravel, seldom in their original mat
rix (crystaline limestone), that the ru-
bies are found. The ruby gravel is
washed down by the water from some
place higher up the river, and deposited
in pockets along the Mogok valley. 1t
is in these alluvial deposits that the
Twinlon system of mining is employed,
shafts being sunk to the ruby-bearing
strata, which lie from fifteen TO twenty
two feet below the top clay. When
worked out these shafts are filled in
again. On reaching the byon, the local
name of the ruby earth, it is dug up
loaded on small trucks, and dragged
up an inclined tram to the washing
machines. Here it is passed through
sleeves of different sizes under jets Of
water, the smaller stuff being carried
on into rotary pans in which the heav-
Ter particles, including all stones of
value, lie at the outer edge. After the
clay and sand are eliminated, the re-
manning portion is found to be made
up of quartz, gneiss, pegmatite, or
white felspathic granite. black tour
maline, garnet, rock crystal, spinel,
and the real ruby.
Besides the pigeon-blood color ruby,
the red corundum, the most valuable
gem in the European market, and 9TH
er colored varieties of the corundum
also occur, but only in very small
quantities. These are the blue corun-
dunn. or sapphire of every depth Of
tint, the yellow or Oriental topaz, and
the purple amethyst, the green variety

in France that has sought to mix re-
ligion and politics to the end of secur-
ing a priestly dictatorship. Here
again a Napoleonic system was use
full. When the great Corsican re-es-
tablished Christianity in France he
made an agreement or "concordat"
the Papacy by which no French bishops
were to be appointed without the con-
sent of the French government All
French administrations had been jeal-
GUS of this prerogative and the Vatican
authorities in turn had always tried
to evade it. Feeling that its control
over the parochial clergy was not suf-
ficiently strong the Vatican encouraged
the growth of religious orders in
France which would be under the di-
rect authority of Rome. These had
grown very strong and Waldeck- Rous-
seau became convinced that they
were meddling in politics with a view
to overthrowing his government. As
result came the famous law of Re-
ligious Associations which puts them
all under the supervision of the gov
eminent. Again there was great up
roar and the associations have posed
as martyrs before the world. But the
French people have Endorsed Waldeck-
Rousseau's course in the matter by

But the man himself, aside from his
determined use of the Napoleonic ma

most of his official life he is stiff and

chiefly by never forgetting them nor

Outstanding sympathy.
The story is told that one day when
he was first Minister of Interior, a
number of carpenters called upon him
who wished to form an association or
guild for mutual benefit, but were un-
able to do so because they had no
money. There was no public fund for
the purpose, but Waldeck- Rousseau,
struck with their plan, himself adj
vanced the necessary amount. No pa
pers were signed, no witnesses to the

ingman's association for mutual bene-
fit organized in France, a movement
that has now reached vast proportions.
Waldeck- Rousseau's connection with
1t has given him hold with the
masses which his political opponents
have never been able to shake.
"a Man Who Does Not Talk"
Cartoonists make Waldeck- Rous-
seau's head long and narrow with a.
heavy jaw and a generally wooden ex-
preston. His enemies describe the
hated Waldeck" as being metallicalfy
hard and unsympathetic. He is a man
who does not talk" they say, and a
Frenchman who is not voluble is sure
to be imperfectly understood by his
fellow countrymen. OF his colleagues
in the cabinet he asks advice and then
always follows his own ideas.
He is a great cigarette smoker and
when there is a great question on, he
obscures himself in cloud of smoke
until he has thought it out. Once de-
cided he retires into an upstairs room,
which is arranged like studio and
amuses himself with water color paint
