ing has never come. And now is it
best to wait for him any longer? 1t is
very doubtful whether he will ever come,
and even if he did, would Wonderland
be a Wonderland after all to a woman
of 80 years-Or more? I think not,
But I believe in marriage-and I be-
lieve in it for myself. I lead busy,
happy life, but I long for wider scope,
bigger usefulness, closer friendship. Above
all, I need to be needed, as only a mar
ried woman can be needed. And so I
come to tell you that will be your wife.
You are. too generous to misunderstood
my motives, or to think that I would
consent to marry you if could not give
you complete honor, confidence, trust.
I feel for you, too, liking more cordial

panions-are we not? Do you remember
that first walk we took in the park, and
what fun we had-what sheer, unadul-
terated fun? A man and woman ought
never to marry, I think, unless they en-
joy each other; unless they have good
times together. But you and always do.
And. do you know. I am only just be-

had heard the lid snap upon it, she
had felt as though an era of her life
had closed. The old order had changed,

was sacrificing the ideals for which she
had so stoutly fought, she knew that her

It was her wisdom alone that She

suppose. =
The opening of the second act is verbose
and disappointing, but just as you nave
made up your mind that the play is dis
NAL failure, matters mend, the action
quickens and the story is developed rap
idly and skilfully. The later acts are rich
in dramatic situations and the scene In
the throne room. where the young Amer
lean wins the heart Of the princess Is
charming.
There is disrobing scene in the sec
ond act that will probably cause COM
ment The princess comes to her bed
chamber and prepares to retire. She
goes about it in matter of fact way,
without coquetry, but also without sug-
gestiveness. There is little to praise, but
absolutely nothing to condemn. The dis
robing is merely incidental.
The third act is the finest; the fifth.
possibly the most dramatic. Throughout
Miss Hayward's ability as a stage mana
ger is evidenced by effective groupings
and picturesque staging. The costumins
is brilliant and the scene of the first act.
showing the exterior Of the Regengetz
hotel is really fine.
The production acquires an additional
interest from the appearance Of Miss
Hayward herself in the leading role. Shs
plays Princess Yetive with nice under
standing of the requirements, and makes
very much a woman, despite her regal
states. The princess concern for her
lovers safety; her indignation at insults
| offered her in her own palace; and, above
all, her love for the young American are
we'll brought out. -

Prosperity of British Flour Makers

According to the London Miller an era
flour nlillers The chief reason assigned
for this prosperity is the fact that sAmerir
can flour manufacturers have stopped
dumping their goods on the English mar
'ket at prices that eliminated profit for
the English miller and for the Americans,
The hope for the future is that American
millers ''have decided to fight upon bet
ter lines.'
AS for the duties imposed on flour and
wheat by the last British war revenue law
the Miller says: "The corn tax may have
contributed it's share in bringing about
better prospects, but that is not the main
point \
Yet it is not likely that the English
miller will have much fault to find with
a law that gives him what amounts to a.
protective duty of four cents hundred
that being the difference in American
money between sthe duty on flour and
that on wheat. He has kept the differ
ence for himself, and has made the
baker or the consumer pay the tax. When
the question :of repeating the tax comes
up he will oppose it with all that deter
limitation Of self7interest with. which we
are so familiar if American tariff legis-
lation. Other classes will be quite as
strongly opposed, but the miller will have
the advantage Of being on the defensive.
He will simply haye to- defend and ask
for the continuation of a law already on
the books, i. e.,%that nothing shall be
done, while the consumer will have to
work for an alteration of the law. 1t will
not be surprising If the tax is maintained
indefinitely. Z

ward has turned out play of obvious
value, curiously undramatic at times, but
strong in its later acts, and interesting
even where the action drags. The drama
needs revision, particularly in it's earlier
passages. The first act is merely a sue
cession Of dialogues, and the second act
is scarcely better until the climax. After
that, however, the action moves with
more celebrity and goes finely on to it's
end.

Farmers Dividends in Wisconsin.

From the report Of John M. True, secs
rotary of the state board of agriculture
Of Wisconsin, it appears that hay is the
principal crop of that state. At the same
time the report shows that Wisconsin is
well diversified. in its farming: While
It's 100000 tons of hay are worth $36,-
100000 its potato crop is worth s9,00o,Q0
its barley s8,700,0O0, it's tobacco 81, 800, 900,
it's oats $4,000, o00,- it's rye s3,500,o00, its
peas 81 800, 900, its buckwheat s410O 900, etc.
From these and some minor crops the
farmers this year derive a. revenue of
s9S,000,00o. This figure does not include
the value Of the As, 900, 900 bushels of corn,
the enormous dairy and cheese product of
Wisconsin, or the income from stock
raising. There are probably no better
fxed' farmers anywhere in the country
like Minnesota, has an abundance of
cheap land still open to the settler.
While land in the beautiful farming
regions Of southern wisconsin is worth
from SIS to $150 an acre, land in the flati-
tude Of Minneapolis in central Wisconsin
So to IS an acre. It may not grow all the
crops that make southern Wisconsin SO
prosperous, but It. can grow money MAX
ing crops. The farmers Of southern Wis
consin, like those of southern Minnesota,
have seen their lands treble in value in
twenty. years, and all the while they have
made a good living off them. The plant of
a farm, of which the land is the main part,
does not, depreeiate in value with use, If
it has proper care. but unlike manufactur-
ing plants which have to be ''scrapped"
every few years, appreciates under use.
There is no doubt that any man who
will pick good location in northern. Min
nesota or northern wisconsin, remember
ing always that there is good and bad
land everywhere, will be as prosperous
twenty years hence as the smiling farmers
Of the southern portions Of these states
now are. 4 81
