1.-THE End.l
The Colonel's Answer.
Swer.

Lieutenant Colonel Hugh l.. Scott
of the United States Volunteers, for
merly captain of the Seventh Cavalry
IS known in the army as an officer
who probably knows more about In
dian sign language than any other liv-
ing man. :, At one time Colonel Scott
made a standing offer to any redskin
who could show a sign used by any
tribe which he did not know. The COL
onel is also peculiarly absent-minded.
a fact which was emphasized at his
marriage a few years ago.
AS he stood at the altar with his
bride, the officiating clergyman asked
him the usual question as to taking
the woman beside him to be his wife.
The colonel placed two fingers upon
his left eyebrow. After an embarrass-
ing pause the clergyman repeated the
question, and again the two hngers
went solemnly to the left eyebrow. 1t
was not until the best man poked the
bridegroom in the ribs that he came
back to earth and articulated Yes

were sitting upon the benches ranged
across the floor. others. less thoughtiul

leading to the sands as giving better

were chatting in an undertone as
though the quiet scene touched them
into reverence.
How strangely the mist creeps IN

said Alicia. She spoke only to her
companion, and he bent beside her,
his pride in her glowing in his steady
eyes.
He was very pale and still weak
from that long illness. but daily new
strength was returning, as though his
happiness gave new life when all else
failed.
He smiled now into her lifted eyes.
Words were scarcely necessary De-
tween them. and long silence some
times fell ere one replied to the other.

law by the Vermont legislature will

The new law is fashioned after the
Iowa law. It provides that whoever

furnishes to any person or persons
cigarettes, ETC., shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction shall be fined $40 and 80
days in the house Of correction. The

IN NICE FIX.

"The state of Minnesota is in a
nice predicament.on it's constitution,
said an attorney Yesterday after
noon. 1T is saddled with a con-
stitution that is ancient and out of
date in many things, particularly
in it's restrictions of tax law, and it
is impossible to change it.
This is due to the amendment
passed in 1896 providing that there
after no amendment could be pass
ed unless 1t received the sanction
of majority of all the voters vot-
ing at the election. Before that
any old amendment could get
through, and now no sort of an
amendment can be made, because
it is impossible to get enough peo-
pie to vote on the amendments,
either one way or the other. Dur
ing the late campaign most of the
speakers talked about the amend
ments, said they were good things
and ought to go through. Both
parties favored them, and advocat-
ed their passage. Yet not more
than half of the people took interest
enough in them to vote at all.
1.-THE constitution was cut to fit
an infant state, and while many of
it's provisions are still good, the
state has outgrown many others,
The need of more liberal tax laws
is imperative, yet it is impossible
to pass them under the present
constitution and impossible to
change the constitutional

ENGAGED TO A BISMARCK.
Miss lone woodward Met Grand
son Of Iron Chancellor During the
Siege Of Pekinx Last Summer. =.

The rumored engagement of Miss
lone Woodward, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. S. Woodward, of Evanston, to
Lieut.. Frederick Bismarck, grandson
OF Prince Bismarck and an officer in
the German imperial army, is q SUBJ
ject of gossip in the north shore su.
burb of Chicago.
Miss Woodward, in company with
her mother, was in Picking, China, last
summer during the siege of the lega-
tons, and it was while there that sho
met Lieut.. Bismarck. The Woodwards
were the guests of United States Min
lister Conger at the American lega-
ton, and the young German army Of
ficer was among those who were most
frequently entertained at the Ameri-
can headquarters. Their troth was
plighted, it is said, just before Miss
Woodward's departure for home.
Miss Woodward is the youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. S. Wood
ward and is prominent in the young
er social set of Evanston. Last Janu-
ary she and her mother left for Pc
king, China, for an extended visit
with Minister Conger, an old friend of
the family. 1t was during her stay
in the orient that the Boxer troubles
broke out and she with many others
underwent the hardships incident to
the siege.
Lieut.. Bismarck is % years of age
and one of the most promising off,

that he has inherited many of the

tors and is favorite with the Ger
