laughter.
"In course Of time let US suppose she
dies" he resumed, cheerfully. The man
feels terribly bad about 1t. He thinks
that all the sentiment has gone out Of his
life-not realizing how much he has done
TO drive It out. He recalls what a good
wife she has always been to him, he pays
her the tribute Of feeling lonely and un-
happy, and-well, before long he is so
desolste that he is actually compelled to
marry again."
Senator Depew laughed again over the
ashes Of tragedy.
He meets a charming woman with a good
deal OF sentiment in her-as every woman
has-and to her he learns to fly for con-
ISOLATION. She is sympathetic, Of course
every woman is-and his grief and lone,
illness affect her very much. Her COM

He sees her surrounded with all the re-

at her best, and after a while he finds
romantic feelings stirring within hin

a large body of Irish National members in

The representatives Of other political Sec

is never an hour Of parliamentary sitting

Queen Alexandra frankly adores precious

For her own part the queen of England
loves pearls best Of all gems and her robes
Of state are to be looped and fastened with
ropes Of pearls. These are her chief pride
and pleasure, because some Of them are
said to have belonged to Mary, queen of
Scotland. They were given her by her
husband. King Francis, who had them from
his mother, Catharine de Medici. When
Mary got into trouble at the hands of
Queen Elizabeth, Catharine was eager to
get the pearls, but Elizabeth liked pearls.

There is no doubling their size and splen-
dor, for in her portrait the queen Of James
I wears some OF them, and one, pinned In
her hair, looks about the size Of a sickle

will wear the Kohinoor set in her crown
and the emerald given Queen Victoria by

lace that is to form the front of her frock
will appear all the Hanoverian almonds

d you think a young man is ever really
capable Of appreciating a charming
woman?"
mo, l DON'T" said Senator Depew, with
abrupt emphasis. ut is a melancholy fact,
but a young man labors under serious limit

charming woman-a mature woman, a
woman Of intellect and sensibility, whose
character is formed and whose heart is
ruled by the million delicate emotions and
impulses which are at once the strength
and weakness of your sex-to appreciate
such a woman demands experience"
Senator Depew laughed, and also blushed

ally the progeny of some hard listed,

He has no manners except bad ones.
When he looks at a young woman, he
leers at her. He Is unpleasantly con-
spicuous at horse races, circuses,
Fourth of July celebrations and camp
meetings, the legitimate prey of fakirs
and sideshow grafters, an all round
nuisance and really the very poorest
and most worthless product of the fer
tile farms of the country, coarse. loud
mouthed and never we'll dressed or

is. This i'll ~begotten chap is the direct
antithesis of that Industrious, patient,
ambitious farm boy who gravitates
from the cornfields into the highest
