the little lady. "You will let me
know when more is needed? Promise
me that, doctor"

he remembered the housewarming,
and was moved to make amends for
the regrets. I'm sorry we couldn't

But for some reason the doctors vi
carious promise was not kept, and
the Farnhams held aloof, notwith-
standing Margery's praiseworthy ac-
tivity in st. Johns; and the 0swalds
relinquished the public library
project when it became noised about
that Jasper GriersOn and his daugh-
ter were moving in it. Margery pos
sessed her soul in patience, and was
placably persistent; but when the
winter wore away and spring came
and found the conservative Opposi-
ton increasing rather than diminish
ing, she grew vindictive, as who
would not.
''They think I'm jay!" she said
to herself one day, when the Ray
mers, mother and daughter, had ap.
parently taken pains to avoid her at
the counters in Thornwalden's
'They need lesson, and they're in
fair way to get it. I'm not going
to sing small all the time!"
The next afternoon she met Ray
mer as he was coming out of the
First national bank. They were
fairly good friends by this time, and
the young man stopped willingly
enough to exchange commonplace
with the presidents daughter. In
the midst of them she astOnished
him.
''Mr, Raymer, please tell me what
have done to offend your mother
and sister," she said, abruptly; and
half of the deferred payment of tri-
umph was discharged on the spot by
Raymer's laundering attempts at dis
avOwal.
''Why, Miss Margery! I don't
know-that is-er-you really must
be mistaken"
''Pm not, and I'd like to know
she persisted, looking him hardly
in the eyes. 81 am sure it must be

if 1 can find out what it is I'll re-

Raymer got away as quickly as he
could; and when the opportunity of

the question to his mother and Ger
trude.

laughed deiantly and set her. white
teeth on dauntless resolution to
reduce this, inner citadel of cOnserya-

campaign the next morning at the
breakfast table.

ALASKA A PHENOMENON.

Alaska cost the United States $780,
900. Alaska is sending to the United
States $15,OOO,O00 worth of gold, fish
and furs annually. And, speaking in
the language Ct the race course, Alaska
hasn't extended itself a bit. Every
steamer which comes in from the new
country reports some new discovery of
tremendous value. That there are i'm
mense fields of copper, coal and oil in
the territory has already been definite
ly learned and now it is announced by
no less an authority than the govern
bilities of the vast country are large.
The bureau of statistics of the treas
ury department has been making eli
matte observations and experiments
with q variety of farm products with
the most gratifying results. With these
facts before it the. bureau reports it's
belief that vegetables in great variety
can be produced all along the southern
coast and in the valley of the Yukon
and the possibility Of the successful
production Of wheat and oats is strong
ly supported. The bureau also reports
that grasses for the feeding of cattle
are abundant and it's experiments with
live stock so far justify the belief that
this feature of the food requirements
of Alaska may be furnished bv the
development of stock farms in the
southern sections.
1t is also announced that 5000 rein
deer have been distributed in the .Arc-
tic regions, which live and thrive on
the vast expanses of moss to be found
there, and the body expresses the belief
that the experiment has advanced suf-
ficiently to justify the confident asser-
ton that the reindeer will within few
years prove an important feature in
furnishing both the transportation and
food supply of Northern and North
western Alaska.
These statistics TEEN with hope for
the frozen north,'' and indicate that,
while the country will never blossom
as the rose, it will prove a home of
prosperity for millions of people en-
gagged in a great diversity of CONNER
cial enterprises.

here. The only way in which the DEM

the better. In this way. and in this

MORGAN ON DRAW POKER.

j. Pierpont Morgan does not have
to hire an advertising manager to keep
himself before the public. He is so
continually doing things" that nobody
who reads the newspapers can forget
him. If he isn't engineering a big
loan for the government, promoting
gigantic steel trust or combining the
steamship interests of the Atlantic. he
is doing something else which so ex-
cites the interest of the public as to
get large section OF it into an argu-
meat.
Now Mr.. Morgan has taken a turn at
the great American game, draw poker.
Recently a steamer party, of whom the
multi millionaire was one, was dill
gently perusing books on card games to
get important information as to bridge
whist. The party being largely COM
posed of Yankees, Sir Edward Cole
ridge turned to Mr.. Morgan and ex-
pressed surprise that people of the
United States should show an inclina-
ton to desert poker, which he had
heard heralded as the most popular
game of the Western continent This
aroused the ire of Morgan, who, swing
ing his arms violently. said with a.
nigh degree of vehemence.
Poker is not a game characteristic Of
the American people. 1t never was It
never will be-. 1t is a bad game 1t is
based upon a lie. The man who has the
greatest capacity for deceit wins To
become a strong player he studies to de-
Velop the most ignoble and most un-
American faculty. The effect upon bows
is to make them think deceit and bluff
are smart and essential to success in
work as well as in play. 1t is an in
iquitous game and ought to be abolished
Nothing could he more foreign to Amer
lean ideas. The man who labeled it our
typical American game ought to be shot
| never heard of it referred to by that
term without wanting to shoot him.
If Morgan had set out to make a
general attack on card playing for
money t h Globe would be dlspos-
ed to agree with him, as gambling in
any form is demoralizing, reprehensi-
BILE and usually frightfully costly, but
the discussion of facts is another mat
ter altogether. 1t is true, however
shocking to Mr.. Morgan, that poker is
far and away the most popular game
played with cards in America. 1t is so
popular, in truth, that it has become
the regular game of the aristocrats of

There is naught on the bridge that checks

YACHTING TEN TSIN,

The record which the American gov
eminent has made in connection with
the Boxer rebellion in China is COM
pletely rounded out by the action de-
termined upon by the representatives
of the European powers in deciding to
Tsin. 1t may, indeed, be said that the
absence of any serious attempt at the
further disintegration Of the Chinese
empire as the result Of the Boxer re-
bellion is due entirely to the influence
and efforts of American representa-
tiYes in China.
According to the latest dispatches
the powers are now agreed to instruct
their generals at Tien Tsin to abandon
their attempt to have the Chinese mill
tary forces kept at distance of not less
than thirty kilometers from that city.
This means that the re-occupation of
Tien Tsin by Chinese troops is made
unconditional, and that imperial au-
thority is now recognized throughout
the empire with few limitations save
those which existed before the rebel
lion.
The Boxer outbreak will probably
have resulted in the serious gain for
civilizing influences in China. Even
as backward a race, controlled as it ia
by the retrogressive influence Of the
dowager empress, can no longer remain
blind to the demands of modern trade
and commerce. For, after all, what is
called modern civilization in countries
like China represents, little more than
the demands of trade and commerce.
Now that the Chinese government
and people are set on the pathway
which leads to increased popular pros
perity and enlightenment the worle
has right to expect that that path
way shall be pursued faithfully by
them, and that the barbarous restric
tons which have existed upon trade
and the barbarous burdens which for
ages have been maintained upon the
shoulders of the people will come grad
ually to an end. Certainly in fulfill
ment of this expectation no very we'll
defined indications have been present.

have to have a high-power lantern to
find contests on Summit avenue after
twilight. There will be differences of
opinion, too, as to what is known in
card-room parlance as blufflng. 1t Is
generally admitted that the buffer in
a card game. unless he has facial i'm
mobility and cuteness developed to
an extraordinary degree, will eventually
prove one of the heaviest of losers.
The card player who makes a study OF
all the phases of the game, and no 9TH
er is worthy of consideration, has lit
tie difficulty as rule in unmasking the
habitual buffer in one evenings play
and to make him pay for his deceit.
The man who labeled draw poker as
popular and typically American was
therefore right, badly as some of us
hate to admit it, and to shoot a man
for telling the truth about a bad prac-
tice wouldn't even be poetic justice.
Guess again, Mr.. Morgan.

SENATOR VEST is WRONG.

Senator Vest is quoted in the press
as declaring that in his Judgment his
party would gain nothing and might
lose much of its present advantage by
the election this fall of a majority in
the house of representatives. His ar
gument, so far as it is made plain, in
that Democratic house majority
could do nothing more than obstruct
Republican legislation. and that it is
not that party's policy at this time to
drge an interruption of complete ma
llonal Republican responsibility in the
present situation such as would fol-
low from the election of a Democratic
majority in the house.
The country will be governed bv q
Republican president and a Republican
senate in all events until 1904. The
election of a Democratic majority will
certainly not be followed by anv decisive
POSITIVE results upon national legisIa-
uo1; yet the contention of the Missouri
senator involves a grave fallacy and. if
generally accepted, would result great
~ TO the dctriment of the Democratic
party.
So far as can be judged today the
country is profoundly distrustful of the
existing national administration and
IT'S purposes. 1t will probably be found
ready. through the forthcoming con-
&ressional elections, to effectualIv re-
Duke that administration for its cvn-

uonlsm. There is no ether means bv
which the country can express it's con-
