Neatness in Young Girls.

Neatness is a good thing for girl,
and if she does not learn it when
young she never will. 1t takes great
deal more neatness to make a girl
look well than 1t does to make a boy
look passable. Not because a boy, to
start with, is better looking than a
girl. but his clothes are of different
sort, not SO many colors in them, and
people do not expect a boy to look as
pretty as a girl. A girl that is not
neatly dressed is called sloven. and
no one likes to look at her. Her face
may be pretty, and her eyes bright,
but If there is spot Of dirt on her
cheek, and her finger ends are black
with ink, and her shoes are not laced
or buttoned. and her skirt is torn, she
cannot be liked. Learn to be neat,
and when you have learned 1t will al
most take care Of itself.-New York
Times.

CHAPTER XIV.
Kate for Harmony.

Ahott Iva AAoi hohy.
Morning dawned amid a raging
snowstorm, but thanks to the logs and
frozen mud with which the little cabin
had been daubed, the patient was
comfortable.
Kate brought some warm broth and
gave him a few spoonfus, and he
whispered:

everlastin' cold, snowin' country call

Paul acquiesced in her plan by sim
ply nodding his head and closing his
eyes, and she resumed her work.
When he awoke there was a marked
change in his manner, and he was re-
gaining his strength. She brought
him, some more broth, and. after he
had taken few spoonfuls, he said:
did you say you came from Seat
tle?"
Yes"
who brought me here?"
ut was the boss of the train that's
goin' to the Klondyke. l reckon he'll
be here after awhile an then We can
see him yourself. don't think We
ought to talk too much"
"Yes--I ought not. They struck
me on the head"
He shut his eyes and tried to
sleep and she went to the door of the
little cabin. All was clear. She saw
one OF the Indians lettering near and
called to him and ordered him to go
to the next camp and ascertain what
had detained the dog sled.

Tn or Down?

Even teachers sometimes have a
sense Of humor. One to whom that
gift has not been denied teaches in
an uptown school, says the New York
Times.
Not long ago she was struggling
with class in geography.
What is a compass" she asked
wide-eyed child. who promptly an
swered, with the confident air of one
who knows:
"A compass is an interment for
finding directions"
The teacher gasped, but John was
not detained, as were the others who
answered incorrectly. For, as she
smilingly remarked:
Tradition would uphold him in his
belief that at certain stages of mans
development an interment is necessary
TO find the direction in which he is
going"

Some Other Day.

There are wonderful things we are going
to do
Some other day;
And harbors we hope to drift into.
Some other day;
With folded hands. the oars that trail.
We watch and wait for favorite gale
To fill the folds OF an idle sail,
Some other day;
We know we must toll II ever we win,
Some other day;
But we say to ourselves. there's time to
begin
Some other day;
And so, deferring. we loiter on.
Until at last we find withdrawn
The strength of the hope we leaned upon.
Some other day:
We fret for the things that might have
been done
Some other day:
We trace the path that leads us where
The reckoning hand OF grim despair
Leads us yonder out of the here,
Some other day.

THE NEWFOUNDLAND TREATY,
Safeguarded Against Imposing Diff
ferential Against Cur Goods.

An important feature of the reciprocity
treaty Just negotiated with Newfoundland
is a safeguard against the imposition Of the
differential In favor of all goods entering
Newfoundland from England Or any Of the
British colonies This differential in the
case Of the dominion amounts to 33 per
cent, which is a very heavy handicap upon
imports from the United States 1t is true
that the differehtial has not ye. been I'M
posed by Newfoundland upon goods,
but 1t is learned that it was the purpose to
do so, and that the result would be the loss
of most of the trade with Newfoundland is
not doubted here. AS it Is, the treaty pro-
vides against the imposition Of the differ
ential duties. This in the case of flour
amounts to margin large enougn to war
rant the expectation that the United States
will continue to command the trade in that
line.
The attitude of the New England senators
toward the new treaty Is problematical; I;
they have committed themselves to a treaty
In theory, but it is not yet known whether
they will accept the details @oe the new

TO GUARD THE PRESIDENT.
Increased Force Of Police and Secret

The enlargement Of the White House will

men and ushers that had charge of the
White House before the additions were
made is still employed in the building, while
a new set Of officers and ushers is necessary
at the Presidents offices. At the latter
place two ushers and two officers are sta
toned. Several secret service men are on
duty at this building, and one at the White
House itself. Until the assassination of
President Mckinley no secret service men
were on duty regularly at the White House,
but that tragedy caused the officials of the
government to decide that in the future the
President should be we'll protected by Off

Geographically, also he Is fortunately

that in the last election the west maze
much better showing for the republican
party than did the east. In Illinois, for In.

have seventeen republican congressman IN

that he would not receive proper treat

that the place would go to his champion
without much effort. He will have the

Illinois, and he thinks that many others OF
