being fool because of his devotion
to principle rather than policy, I
have to admit that he seems to me
something of a hero. Quite as much
hero, in fact, as the man who as,
serts his bravery on the field of bat
tie. Don't you suppose that. John
Fosdyke had hard battle to fight,
in giving up what he has for the
sake of doing what he believes to be
his duty?"
Margaret spoke impetuously, and
her tone told how deeply she felt
what she said.
Aunt Diana's lip curled.
"Margaret," she said, facing her
niece Indignantly and accusingly, Il
dc believe you are more than half
in love with this man! The idea of
your persisting in your attempt to
make hero of him! It's absurd, to
say the least!"
1T may seem so to you, but it does
not to me- was the girls quiet re-
spouse. And not another word could
her aunt get from her about this
man whom the worldlywise old lady
looked upon as fool or fanatic.
Presently Vaughan Herrick came in.
Aunt Diana welcomed him elusive
ly. Margaret was quietly polite in
her greeting, and her reserved man
ner had the effect of keeping him at
a distance socially. She did not like
Mr.. Herrick very well. She had never
done so, and after her aunt began
to try her hand at matchmaking be-
tween them, she liked him less than
ever, because it was quite evident
that he was perfectly willing to take
advantage of any victory that Aunt
Diana might happen to win by force
of diplomacy or influence.
I'm love, and in war, a man should
control the campaign" Margaret told
herself. He isn't much of a man
who is willing to let woman plan
and carry it on for him."
Miss Leith does not seem very
socially inclined this morning. he
said to Aunt Diana, when Margaret
was out of the room for a moment.
II hope 1 have not offended her"
1T isn't that" was Aunt Diana's
reply. "She's peculiar. Be blind to
her peculiarities-and be patient
IL could be as patient as-who was
it? - Jacob? - that the minister
preached about last Sunday, if 1
thought | could win her at last" he
answered. Aunt Diana, vexed with
Margaret's peculiarities, resolved on
diplomacy. She was not going to
allow her niece, who was poor, to
throw herself away on John Fos-
dyke. She was not going to let
her lose the chance of getting
rich husband like Vaughan Herrick,
if she could have her way about it.
Vaughan Herrick could give her an
elegant home, and position in so
ciety that any girl in her senses
would covet. He would also be kind
husband to her. The girl must be
mad to let such chance go by. One
like it might never present itself
again.
Aunt Diana, however, knowing with
whom she had to deal, felt that she
must move carefully. Margaret had
way of having her own will at
times, and when there was a differ
ence of opinion she often came out
best in the arguments; and if Aunt
Diana were to urge the atlvsabili,v
of the marriage she had so set her
Eeart on, she felt quite sure it would
make her niece all the more stub,
born. Precipitancy might spoil ALL

crowd that stirred her pulses to a
swifter beat. Her eyes lost the list
less look that had been in them while
she watched with Woman's mere
idle curiosity the tide of humanity
Singing past. Here was some one
for her interest to center itself
about. With this person upon whom
to fasten her thoughts, she forgot
the throng Of which he was part.
II wonder if there is any truth in
the theory of soul te]egraphy?" she
thought, with a bright, soft light

help him and his work in a way he
might know nothing about, but the
doing of it might make his own work
lighter, in some indirect way.
At first. perhaps, she did it for his
sake, or because it was his work, and
sharing it with him, even without his
knowledge, seemed to establish a
common bond of interest between
them. But it was not long, as l have
said, before she began to love the
work for it's own sake. When a man
CT woman does something to help
his or her fellowmen, life is broad
cned by it, and the world suddenly
seems fuller of deeper, grander
meanings and possibilities. A kim
ship of interests brings us close to
the heart of things. We wake up to
the fact that to live means something
more than mere existence. There are
others in the world quite as impor-
tant as ourselves. They have sor-
rows and joys we can share with
them. We can help them, and they
can help us.
In her round of work she did not
meet John Fosdyke, but she heard
good deal about him.
And what she heard was something
to make her glad and proud. He was
indeed sowing good seed. She won
dered if he knew as we'll as she did
the amount of good he was doing.
And he heard of her, but he did
not know who it was that came to
the homes of the poor and the sick
with comforting words, and help in
time of need; for her work was done
as quietly and unobtrusively as his
own. 49," "@@ r.. -.

AS DAME FASHION DEGREES.

The sandal fad is spreading.
 There are low slippers in black velvet with several straps and a small cut steel ornament on each.
 Patent poison bottles which cannot be uncorked in the dark by mistake are among the novelties on exhibi- tioH.
 Sailor collar and rever fancies will be continued, though the collars will not be so numerous as they have been. This last will apply to yokes, too.
 A lovely evening gown is of palest pink chiffon, beautifully embroidered in silver, the bodice cut into battle ments as a bolero, a mass of ex- quisite stitching.
 One attractive white silk skirt is trimmed with wide flounce of lace. several rows of insertion being joined by half-inch bands of white satin ribbon, with an edge of the lace finishing. The lace used is point de Paris.
 Those little embroidered piaue hats with figures embroidered over the material and a scalloped edge to both crowr and rim, the former but toning to the latter, are among the prettiest head coverings for small children.
 There is much novelty in sleeves, and some examples seem positively queer. The sleeve that falls straight from the elbow at the back, forming hanging sleeve more than a yard around the bottom, is fashionable, but not particularly pretty.
 Pretty pique gowns for children are made with one or two simple ruff fies, one around the low cut bod Ice, made to wear with a guimpe, and others around sleeves and skirt finished with simple edge and sometimes small figure of embroi- dery.
 Colored velvets are to be stylish dress goods for late fall and winter. These will include plain weaves and others designed with contrasting lines not unlike those of last season and spotted with polka dots like fou- lards. Gray velvet with lines of black or white or sprinkled with white spots is very pretty and sev. eral shades of brown are attractive Brown velvet with red lines is a novelty From such materials some form of simplicity may be expected

MYERS LEADS GREAVES IN STATE AT LARGE
No. ! Defeated and at Least One-Half Counties Vote Against Lf- cense.-Road Tax Voted in Almost Ev- cry County.-No Serious Trouble Re- ported.

Little Rock, Sept. 2.-Early returns received at both Democratic and Re- publican headquarters show that a light vote for state officers was boiled, taking the state as whole. In some of the counties, however, where local contests were waged, the vote was heavy. It is impossible to give anything definite as to the majority for the Democratic state ticket, but Gov. Davis majority will not be less than 25 900, while the majority for the remainder of the ticket will exceed 3O,Ooo.
 About one-half of the counties are thought to have gone against license.
 A hard fight on the license question was waged in Ouachita, where the prohis are said to have won with a small majority.
 The greatest surprise of the cleo tion was the defeat of amendment No. z, to place members of the leg islature on a stipulated salary.
 In Cleburne county Hon. U. s. Rratton received a majority over B. E. Mitchell, for circuit judge. In this county the populists elected a sheriff, county judge and assessor.
 The vote between Myers and Greaves is close, but early returns indicate that Myers will have ma- jority over his party opponent when the official returns are all in
 The road tax carried in almost ev- cry county in the state.
 Greaves has a big lead over Myers in Miller and also in Garland, his home county, though Gov. Davis car ried both these counties.
 Gov. Davis carried the ward in which Chairman Remmel votes at Newport. This is the first time in twelve years this ward has gone Democratic.
 No serious trouble is reported from any part of the state.
 Our next issue will contain complete returns from all the counties.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON SPORT.
Carlisle ID. Graham Gives Another EX bitiOn of His Powers of En-
 durance at Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls, N. Y., Sept. 1.-Car- lisle D. Graham swam from the whirl- pool below Niagara Falls through the lower rapids to Lewiston, Sunday aft ernoon. Graham made a better swim than he did on the 9th of September, 1901, when Maude Willard attempted to navigate the upper rapids in Gra- hams barrel and was suffocated. Gra- ham wore a life preserver about hIs waist and neck float. He entered the water at 3:17. The swift-runnng current whirled the swimmer to the center of the stream and for nearly half an hour Graham battled with the waves. As far as the Devils hole it appeared comparatively easy for Gra- ham, and then he plunged into rough water that many times hid him from sight. Only once, however, was he in danger. A current suddenly tossed him toward the shore, dangerously near a big boulder that showed threatingly above the surface. By desperate swimming he just avoided the rock and was carried on down stream. Below the Devils hole. where the river narrows, Graham had anoth- CT hard battle. For time he was completely hidden from view, and the hundreds of spectators on the bridge and along the banks grew greatly ex- cited Graham soon appeared in the smoother water, where the river WldenS, and the crowd cheered him heartily

Gen. Berti Holding His Ground.

Panama, Sept. 1.-The arrival of government endorsements from Baranquilla has caused great enthusi- asm among the conservatives here.
 Judging from the news received from the Agua Dulce district, Gen. Berti is believed to be holding his ground against the insurgents. A few days ago it was reported that the insurgent general, Herrera, had aban- doned the seize of Agua Dulce after an unsuccessful attack and was re- treating toward Santiago. This re- port, however, has not been con- firmed. The troops which have reached here will be dispatched inn mediately to Agua Dulce, and it is be- Heved that Gen. Herrera will not e able to resist the attack of the army the government will send against him.

M,nv of Castro,s Men Have Deserted to the RevOlutionists-EoV

Willemstadt, Island of Curacoa, Sent. News from an official source has reached Willemstadt confirming previous reports that on last Frlday $50 men of the Venezuelan army, who formed the vanguard of the govern ment forces near Ocumare, deserted to the revolutionist-. They took their arms and equipments with them, ana carried their chief, Gen. Castillo, prisoner to the enemy.
 The GOO government soldiers who have been trying to re-establish traf- fic on the German railroad from Cara cas to Valencia were repeatedly inter- rupted by the insurgents during Thursday and Friday of last week, and on the latter day they were de- feated by detachment of insurgents near Los Teques. The town of Los Teques is now in the hands of the ln- surgents.
 The vice-president of Venezuela, during the absence of Castro at Qua, is domiciled in the presidential palace, Mirafiores, which is situated on hill in Caracas and commands the city. Last Thursday night the vice-presi- dents guard heard a shot in the vicln- ity of Miratiores, and at once began firing their rifles on the city from their position on the stone platform surrounding the palace. The people of Caracas were very much alarmed for some time.

WRECKED BY A TORNADO.
Three Pefsons Killed and Thirty-Eight Ih- iured, Four Fatally. In Wreck
 Near Owatonna, Minn.

OWatOnna. Mlnn., sept. l.-I ne 1 wreck on the Chicago & Northwest ern road, five miles west of here, Sat. "rday night, probably Was the worst that ever happened in this section of the state. Three are dead, four are fatally injured and 34 others received in iuries, some of them of a serious character. Those killed and fatally | injured are:
 Dead:
 Elmer Patterson, five years old, Waseca, Minn.
 Ethel Richards, IA, New Ulm, Minn. Unknown woman, about thirty years old, supposed to have come from Lake Mills. Ia.
 Fatally injured:
 Mrs. Almira F. Buckford, Albert Lea, Minn.
 A. C. Mcconnell Brookings, s. D.
 Caroline McCune, Warrington, Minn.
 Conductor w. H. Kenzie, badly bruised; head cut; may die from shock.
 Coaches Rolled Over and Over. Investigation shows that the storm which wrought such damage to the train was but 100 feet in width. From all reports it is evident that the en- zine escaped the fury of the tornado by but Iew feet, for it remained standing on the track while the six coaches in the train were picked up as if they were feathers and rolled over and over down the steep em- bankment. Four of the coaches caught the full fury of the storm and were carried much further than were the other two. In these four coaches occurred all of the deaths and the ma- jority of the injuries. Engineer Mitchell apparently was unaware of the approach of the storm cloud, but many o1 the passengers state that they saw funnel-shaped cloud ap- preaching, but had scarcely time to move in their seats when it had struck the train. The fact that the brakeman on the ill-fated train was new man was probably responsible for the fact that the baggageman es- capped with his life. The Daggageman was in one of the rear coaches in structing the brakeman how to light the lamps when the storm struck. The baggage car was one of those that received the storms full force.
 Conductors Heroic Work.
 Great credit is given by the passen- gers to Conductor Kenzie for his heroic work in rescuing the injured. Although himself suffering from se- were injuries he refused any aid for himself, but set to work with great grit and heroic courage to relieve the injured from their perilous positions, and not until the last of the passen- gers was out of the wreck did he re- ceive medical attention for his own wounds. It is feared that he can not survive.
 Other Property Damaged.
 The storm destroyed the grain stacks of Thomas Rake, on whose farm the wreck occurred; then passed directly between his house and the barn, leaving them unharmed. It then passed northwest through Med ford, a town on the Milwaukee road, where a number of barns were de- nnolished and several houses and oth- CT buildings were overturned.
 Senator T. V. Knatvol, who is op- posing Congressman James A. Taw- ney for renomination, was resting easily Sunday night, and says that he will be able to resume his canvass at once, but the physicians say it will be a week or more before he can hope to be out.
