tls, ~, A."d WIS Mrs, Gentil, as
she had right to be. He was, ;.
man among men. His record was not OF
the present alone, but extended back almost
to boyhood. He was young when he led
his company CALAMITY in some of the fercest
battles of the civil war. He never finched.
The war over, coming back as did so many
thousands of good men to a future prospect
without much definition, he showed the
same unfinchingness. He completed col
lege course under exceptional difficulties,
helping others in the meantime. He took
up professional career and fought it out
as bravely as he had fought out anything
before. When he fell in love he was not to
be denied, and the woman he sought, the
one with him now, found herself his wife
almost before she had become accustomed
to the breath of his swift wooing. He had
won fortune and some fame.
He looked the man he was, too, this Leon
ard Gentil. Broad of forehead, keen of eve,
stern of jaw, erect of figure and decided
of movement, his wife admired him as she
must, and yet she sometimes wondered
and was troubled. She wanted him per-
feet, and he was not quite that. He ex-
hibited, at times, what seemed sort of
cowardice. She could not understand it.
Once they had made trip to Switzerland
and he had stayed in the chalet below while
climbing with their friends. Time and
again such things had happened, but there
had been no explanation. She knew her
husbands sensitiveness. but, to-day, some
impulse led her to speak outright. 1t might
be that she could aid him. She found him
in their room at the hotel, where he was
smoking TRANQUILITY and reading. She ad
vanced to his side, patted his head and then
put the question simply:
Leonard, why wouldn't you come upon
the roof with me?"
The man flushed, laid down his book and
ooked up at her silently for moment
or two. Then he spoke slowly:

Afraid of what?"

But there was no danger of that. 1t IL

"That makes no difference. 1t seems to
me would have fallen off, somehow"
Was that the reason you would not
climb the mountains in Switzerland? Was
that why you were alarmed at the Ferris
wheel?"

I'm glad you've spoken of it. We should
have talked the matter over long ago.
Where heights are concerned l am coward,
and can't help it. I've tried and failed.
l know others affected that way, but l
thought could show enough force Of char
acter to gradually overcome the weakness.

There We're regrets, and the man hur-
ried away, though his wife for a moment
rested lightly OBTAINING hand upon his
arm. Half an hour later the party had
rejoined him, and at luncheon and through
out the afternoon he was its life and spirit,
for he had wit and tact and good-hearted-
ness and the many qualities which make a
gentleman.
Six weeks later Mr.. and Mrs. Gentl were
visitors at one of the lake shore towns of
Michigan, enjoying to the full the drives,
the fishing and the society of others upon
their outing. South of this town for miles,
close to the lake, rises long plateau, ex,
tending back into the country for nearly a
mile, when it slopes downward gradually
into the farming lands. For thousands of
years the lake has cast up its sand on its
eastern shore, the winds have carried the
great drifts inland and SO has been built
gradually this singular plateau. Centuries
ago, vegetation found place in the huge
uplifted sand dunes and held them together

In some respects the foregoing would ap-
pear to characterize an essentially weak,
womanish nature; but Lincoln was far from
being weak man, though easily moved by
misery and suffering, and apparently totally
free from every sort of prejudice. On occa-
sion he could be as firm as rock when he
thought justice should be vindicated, and
especially so when the well-being or lives
of the struggling soldiers at the front were
involved. In cases of the wanton murder of
union soldiers it was seldom that an appeal
for clemency was successful.

exploration of their dusky corridors and to
the GOODNESS of their depths. Upon the
lake side have been built summer cottages
and resorts of more pretension. One Of
these, visited by the Gentils, had broad
fat roof, from the water side of which
was sheer fall of hundred feet. From
this roof was afforded wonderful view of
sunsets on Lake Michigan and here the
visitors thronged each evening. 1t CHANGED
that Mrs. Gentil wished to enjoy the view
with others, and her husband accompanied
her up the long, tortuous stairway. He
reached the roof, gave one quick glance
about, turned pale and stumbled back to the
stairway, his wife assisting him. She said
nothing, save to ask him if he were i'll, and
he but replied that he would be better in a
few moments. She returned to the roof
alone.

OFFICIAL Paper of County.
THE SHIPPING BILL SCHEME.
Revised Measure No Improvement on
the First One Which Favored
Private Interests.

Opposition to Senator Frye's new
ship-subsidy bill, which is shortly to
demand the attention of the senate,
able action, is justified on precisely
the same grounds which made impos-
sible the passage of the original meas
ure during the preceding session of
congress, says the St. Louis Republic.
Notwithstanding the crafty argu-
ments to the contrary advanced by the
present supporters of the bill, there has
been no abandonment of the evil fea-
lures contained in the subsidy PROPOSE
ton as first introduced in the senate.
The ingenuity of the trainers has been
severely taxed to formulate new
measure which shall furnish an ex-
cuse for demanding a support original
ly denied while making nc concessions
justifying such support, and the sue
cess achieved in this direction has not
been such, as to encourage the SUBJ
sidy bills friends. Certainly the meas
ure now awaiting action should not
win to its support any senator who was
unwilling to support its predecessor.
Mr.. John De Witt Warner. of the
New York Reform club, most forcefully
represents the established public SEN
tlment of this country in summing up
anew the reasons why the present ship
subsidy bill should be defeated. The
new bill is, like the old, revival of the
earlier mail-subsidy grab. There is
no promise of faster mail service in
Its operation. The measure proposes,
to the contrary, increased pay for
slower service. The very ships which
would get most of the subsidy, Mr..
Warner points out, are large employ
ers OF Chinese and other foreign labor.
The interests to be most heavily and
directly subsidized by the bills opera
tions are the Standard Oil company,
the international Navigation company,
the New York and Cuba Mail company,
the Pacific Mail company and the
American Mail company, the very same
corporations which We're behind the
old measure. The new bill, Mr.. War
ner correctly charges, is simply resur-
rection, Gin more impudent shape than
before" of the worst portions of the
Hanna-Frye bills of the last two con-
crosses.
There is little hope, however, that
the interests of the American people
will be protected by the vote on the
ship-subsidy bill when that measure
comes to a test in the present con-
gress. The republican party lash will
be vigorously welded in behalf of the
new subsidy grab. The full strength
of the Hanna syndicate behind the bill
is being put forth to compel passage.
The present congress is amenable to
such influence. Nevertheless, the peo-
pie should continue to protest against
the proposed grab. They will be the
sufferers by the operation of the ship
subsidy bill, and they will suffer to
the extent of many millions Of dollars.
The issue shonl6 be made so plain that
the passage of the bill will appear
clearly as distinct defiance of the
American people by the representa-
tives of q party which has surrendered
utterly to monopoly dictation.

Lincoln's Clemency

on Appeals to Lincoln's
AIV Clemeney," Mr.. Leslie j. Perry says,
AA in recent issue of the Century,
that in all his many-sided aspects Abraham
Lincoln is perhaps better understood and
more thoroughly appreciated than any 9th
er great American, for his life was as open
as the day His heart went out spontan-
eously to the lowly, whose hopes and as
pirations he understood. He was very ap-
proachable. With cause to plead, the
meanest as well as the greatest could reach
Lincoln's ear at all times. Lincoln hated
strife and bloodshed, yet his career culmin-
ated in the greatest war of modern times.
He was made miserable by the trials and
misfortunes of his country; his honest heart
was wrung by cases OF cruelty and hardship
incident to state of war that were daily
brought to his attention on appeal in some
form. The tendcr-hearted president was
the terror of military despots and brutal
jailers everywhere. Through appeals to him

MANY MOODS OF ROOSEVELT.
Contradictory and vacil1ating Con.
dnct of the President in
Various Matters,

President Roosevelt is far from be-
ing effeminate, but he exhibits a
womanish fondness for changing his
mind. He gives us elaborate essays
on civil service reform, and then he
appoints Henry c. Payne to the first
cabinet vacancy. He warns Office
holders to keep out of politics, and
puts practical politician and spoils-
monger in the inner family circle of
his administration, says the Albany
Argus.
He dominates Mr.. Durham, of Ohio,
Mark Hanna's man-withdraws the
nomination at Foraker's request, and
then, on Hanna's insistence, agrees
to send it back again. He acts, the
senators say, like child with a new
toy, in his dealings with the federal
patronage, and they stand by and
watch him, with the feelings parents
might have if the toy We're bit of
costly bric-a-brac. In one state he
exalts senator, and puts down a
national committeeman; in another,
he exalts the national committeeman
and puts down the senator; in New
York state he plays into the hand of
the governor, at the expense of both
the senior senator and the national
committeeman.
In the schley case, he causes the
resignation of Maclay to be demand
ed, but, at the same time, he suffers
verdict to be officially approved
which is pro-Maclay and anti-schley.
He pledges himself to maintain the
policy of President Mckinley; but if
the late president could come back,
could he piece together the frag-
ments of his policy and make it whole
again7
They are saying in Washington, as
it used to be said in Albany, that Mr..
Roosevelt has moods as many as the
hours of the day; that he is of as
many minds upon any given question
as there are sides to that question,
and that it all depends upon who
gets his ear last how he will decide.
