her own. She could hear from with
out the steady interminable buzz
buzzing of the infinite feminine voice,
with now and again, at distant inter-
walls, the Interpolation Of an elderly
masculine monotone. These were So
phia's specialties whom, therefore, it
behooved her friend to honor. Amelia
paused for an instant outside the
hanging curtain Of green art serge,
fianked by another of weird beadery,
in order to take breath, for sha had
hurried unconscionably From the in
side the voice Of Mrs. MacWhirter was
raised in confidence; Amelia idly iden-
titled it's shrillness.
my DEAR" it was saying, "the whole
thing is absurd" The matter was dog
matte, authoritative, characteristic.
Amelia smiled.

You wouldn't. You haven't had my
experience, and you can't understand.

thirtysix, as his well-preserved aunt.
But when he is forty and she over
fifty, she will be taken for his grand
mother. Positively Oh! It's ludi-
crous. They would be laughing
stock for every one. Dear Amelia
but if she cares for him, and you
admit he's devoted to her inter-
jected the pale voice.
She wouldn't be such a Grass
fool"
Quite mechanically Amelia dropped
the curtain, and moved a little away.
For moment she held the banisters.
She had certainly hurried too much,
for she felt faint. The voices of a
thousand MacWhirters screaming in
her ears kept her from unconscious
ness. She moved slowly down the pas
sage to her room. The lightning
hurled by the vengeful gods had struck
her face into ashen grayness, and the
light from her blinded eyes. 1t left

certain gait that CROPPED its way to her

Nursery Window Garden.

An ornament for a nursery window
that will be of interest to the children,
as they can prepare and watch its
growth, is a turnip or large carrot hol-
lowed at the root and suspended by
ribbon in a sunny window.
Fill it with wet earth and sprinkle 1t
with oats or other seeds that sprout
readily.
The lower part Of the vegetable will
soon shoot forth green sprays that will
grow up around It,
The little owners task will be to see
that the earth is kept wet.
A coarse sponge also may be gus
pended by cord in a window. Dump
en- the sponge and sprinkle with grass,
clover, mustard or flax seed.
Before many days the sponge will be
a pretty ball of living green.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-24

The sponge must be kept very wet,
and when the grass grows brown in
spots pull it off and sprinkle the place
with fresh seeds
Another way is to cut piece of fan
mel the size of a saucer or the middle
part of a plate
Sprinkle the flannel with seed, place
on the window seat and keep damened
with water.
The flannel will quickly become
mat of green.
Many children will enjoy watching
the growth of these seeds from day to
day better than playing with expensive

WARNED BY COMMISSION.
Railroads Must Stop Discrimination
in Cattle Rates.

Chicago, March 14.-Traffic officials
of Western railroads are much dis
turhed by an order just received from
the interstate commerce commission
to Immediately discontinue their dis
elimination in rates against live stock
shipments from Missouri river and in
termediate points to Chicago, says The
Inter-Ocean.
The Chicago Livestock Exchange
recently filed a complaint with the in
terstate commerce commission that
the Western railroads were making
lower rates on fresh meats and pack
ing house products shipped here from
Missouri river and intermediate points
than the rates on live stock.
The traffic officials of the Western
lines have now received notice from
the commission to change their rates
so as to avoid discrimination. The
commission reminded the railroad Of
ficials that last October it made rul-
ing that the railroads must not charge
higher rates for hauling live hogs than
for hauling hog products from packing
houses. The commission declared that
the order made in October applies to
the shipment of fresh meats at lower
rates than live stock and wants the
practice discontinued at once BOB.

COMPROMISE LIKELY. (.
Republicans Getting Together on Gu
ban Reciprocity.

Washington, March 14-There was
noticeable dimunition Of excited di-
vision over Cuban reciprocity, now
that the two antagonistic elements are
considering a compromise agreement
limiting the concession to December,
1908.
The leaders on both sides stated
that the tendencies We're strongly to-
ward an ggreement, about the only
open question being as to whether the
relief should cover one or two certain
phases. Representative Tawney of
Minnesota says the concession will be
necessarily confined to next years
crop as this years will be harvested
and in the hands of the refners before
the measure can be enacted.
Chairman Payne has not yet drafted
the text of the proposed compromise.
The house Republicans who oppose
reciprocity with Cuba, at a conference
during the afternoon, selected com
mittee consisting of Messrs. Metcalf
of California, Taylor of Ohio, Dick Of
Ohio, Fordney of Michigan and Nor
ris of Minnesota to meet the COM
mittee selected by the friends of reci-
procity with a view to compromising
the differences between them.

Chinese G EXCLUSION AcI
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
Decides to Lay Away the
Sherman Bill.
More Radical Measures for the Ex-
ciusion Of Chinese Will be
Recommended.
It is Thought Republicans Will Now
Get Together on Matter of
Cuban Reciprocity.

Washington, March 1.-THE house
committee on foreign affairs has voted
against considering the bill Of Repre-
sentative Sherman of New York, con-
tinuing the existing Chinese exclusion
law, and then voted to proceed by con-
tinuous sessions with the considera-
tion of the Mitchell-Kahn rigid exclu-.3
sion measure, having the endorsement
of the Pacific coast senators and nram-
bers. The vote against the Sherman
bill is understood to have been 6 to
Z. When this measure was laid aside
there was general concurrence in con-
tinuing on with the Mitch ell-Kahn bill.
The actual work on this bill by sec
tions began at 1880 p. m. and is likely
to proceed uninterrnptedly until re
suits are secured.

Ri CABINET says No
King Edwards Desire to Pay Corona
tion Visit 70 Ireland Opposed by
His Own Cabinet.
Move Of the Ministers Generally Con-
demned by the English
Press.
Report Made to British House of Com
mons Of the Release Of Gen.
Methuen.

London, March 14-The official an
nouncement of the abandonment Of
the proposed visit of King Edward ard
Queen Alexandra to ireland, whereby
the ministers assume the responsible
ity for an imperial boycott, is quite
unprecedented in form and causes
keen dissatisfaction, the general tone
of which is distinctly adverse to the
action of the cabinet, which is inter-
preted as displaying petty spite and
spleen. The suggestion sought to be
conveyed both by the announcement
itself and the comment of the minis
terial organs that the decision arrived
at was directly due to the outburst of
some Of the Irish, members in the
house Of commons When the news of
the disaster to General Methuen's col
umn was officially communicated to
that house is declared by hostile crit
les to be obviously false as it was az
nounced weeks ago that the visit
would be postponed These: critics
also assert that there seems good rea.
son to believe that their majesties
themselves all along desired to carry
out the coronation visit, and though
they have deferred 1t on the advice of
the ministers they have no intention
of relieving the latter from the re.
sponsibility of a tactless movement
Speaking of the abandonment of the
kings proposed visit to Ireland Tho

His maiesty's ministers could not
venture to allow the king to see with
his own eyes and hear with his own
ears the barbarous methods of the cas-
tie and the deep resentment of the peo.

his visit might have converted him
