President McKinIey.. KIndnes.

A near friend of Mr.. McKinley's re-
calls this incident of his western trip.
During one of the semi-impromptu
ovations at a small railway station a
golden-haired mite of some seven
summers edged her way through the
crowd and close up to the tracks as
the big man on the car platform
ceased speaking

shrill treble as the cheering died

there that sugar is grown during 1892
of as per cent of the number of island
ers (Polynesians) who return to their
homes during the present year. In 1903
only 80 per cent may return, and by
1896 there will be none in the colony,
for by that year all will have been sent
back to their island homes, whether
or not they hold property or can pass

The chief opponents of the measure
are the sugar planters and manufac-
turers, who say the white labor in the
cane fields is much more expensive and
much less effective, and they promise
on which great sums of money have
already been spent if it become neces-
sary to rely solely on expensive and
incompetent labor Premier Barton's
idea, however, is that by a system of
import duties and bounties the sugar
industry may be so protected that the
loss of cheap and efficient labor will
not harm it

Statesmen are commenting on what
is referred to as a mistake on the part
of the president in Offering the treas
ury portfolio to Gov. Crane of Massa-
chusetts. They say that if he had
thought for moment he would have
remembered that Murray Crane is the
man who makes the paper on which
the government prints its money. He
would have known that Crane could
not do business with himself and that
if he chose to be secretary of the treas
ury he would have to give up his pa
per mills, which are the most profit
able and perhaps the largest in the
country.
By the way, Murray Crane Is likely
yet to be member of the Roosevelt
cabinet. Lodge is trying to arrange to
have Crane succeed Long. AS the lat
ter does not care to quit just now, and
as the governor is willing to serve out
his term, and as the ownership of the
paper mills would not interfere with
the administration of the navy, it may
be brought about.

AN ALPINE HOSTESS.
Avenus OF Milo, clad in n Mans Attire,
Tourists Discovery.


We had been climbing since 3, catch
Ing glimpses of rosy topped mount
aims, and at last the sun shone forth
in all his glory over n snowy peak.
AS We turned from the dazzling splen-
dor Of our first sunrise in the Alps we
could not help exclaiming, Have the
gods deserted Olympus" For there in
the doorway Of one of the chalets stood
the Venus of Milo. A pair Of mans
trousers tucked into top-boots, a short
rough jacket and n velvet cap could
not eXtinguish the majesty Of that
pose. Her eyes, blue as the mountain
flowers, looked down upon one from
another sphere, and kinky gold hair
framed the ineffablc calm of the face;
calm not Of this world.
"Gollyw whispered the irrepressble
one, III she looks like that in those
togs, what would she be in a Worth
gown" Our guide told US she was
waiting breakfast for us, and we fol-
lowed her into the chalet, feeling much
as one would II the marble Venus
should lean from her pedestal some
morning and say: Come. have some
bread and butter" Only bread and
butter and black coffee she gave us,
but e2quisitely served in spite of the
coarse napery and dishes, as only
goddess could serve il. At each place
was n little bunch of blue harebells we
had reveled in while tramping through
the lovely green valley to Champiry.
We could scarcely eat, hungry as we
were. so fascinated were We by every
movement of the immortal as she
gllded about waiting upon us She
spoke no word and we longed for her
voice.

The snnshiny Girl.

The girl who is eyerybody's favorite
is generally a girl Of average quali1-
cations.
she is not wonderfully beautiful nor
astonishinely clever, nor 50 wise that
she knows other peoples business bet
ter thnn they do themselves, yet she
is beloved by all, young and old. and
she will be sought for when the pout-
ing beauty, with her matchless hair
snd eyes, is left alone, and the student
who can tell you all about the things
Of science sits mOping in a corner,
while the all-wise person is stunned
as plague.
The universal attraction is a gift
which is born with one, and, although
| will not say that it could not pos
sibly be acquired, it is not often the
result Of education.
We see babies who tOddle into our
hearts with their first trembling steps,
whose dhnped hands hold our fond
EST, warmest loves as firmly as they
clutch our hair.
They may be among the dearest
things in the world to us all through
childhood to maturity. and some day
we awaken to find that the laughing
baby has developed into the beloved
woman, whose voice is music in all
ears. and who has fond hearts scat
tered so thckly along her path that
the whole road seems rose colored.
The old people regard her as q sun
beam; the young think no gathering is
complete or enjoyable without her;
and the children hang after her with
adoring eyes and hearts, which are
not the least of her triumphs.
She can always get what she wants,
and the paradox is that she doesn't
want things half so badly as other
people who are never gratified.
She is content to take what comes
her way, and she never signs after the
mattainable. which might as easily
be hers, If she wished, as the most or
dinary, everyday things Of life are
owned by other mortals.
This girl Is puzzle. The girls won
der why she is so beloved by their
brothers and cousins.

dear, sweet little thing, but then there
Is nothing extraordinary about her"

Britain during Victoria's reign cost the

costly is amply corroborated. 1t APP
pears, according to the table Of the

half times as much to wage the war
against the Transvaal as it did TO fight

where People Ar. Content.

In his book, "The Soul of a People,"
Mr.. II. Fielding Hall gives an interest.
ing and sympathetic account Of the
quiet life and philosophy Of the Bur.
mese. Among other things he says:
And so all The people are on the
same level. Richer and poorer there
are, OF course, but there are no very
rich; there is none so poor that he can

eat much the same food, all dress
much alike. The amusements of all
are the same, for entertainments are
always free. So the Burman does not
care to be rich. II is not in his nature
to desire wealth, it is not in his nature
to care to keep it when it comes 10
him. Beyond n sutliciency for his daily
needs money has nOt much value He
does not care TO add field to field or
coin to coin; the mere fact that he has
money causes him no pleasure. Money
Is worth to him what it will buy.
With US, when we have made a little
money, We keep it 10 he a nest egg to
make more from. Not so a Burman:
He will spend it. And after his own
little wants are satisfied, after he has
bought himself new silk, after he
has given his wife a new bangle, after
he has called all his village together
and entertained them with a dramatic
entertalnment--sometlmes even before
all this-he Will spend the rest on

OF 141 students who took an en-.
trance examination in spelling for
Northwestern University eighty-fve
missed twenty or more words out of a
list of $50, which was fairly selected,
without special search for the unusual
and the difficult. The comment of Pro.
fessor Clark ON the showing is "As
long as the word method of spelling is
taught in the public schools, just so
long will boys and girls enter college
unable to spell correctly" This is not
an unreasonable deduction from his
experience, past and present, but if his
theory is wrong, says the Chicago In
ter-Ocean, there is still very unsatis-
factory condition to be explained
