DR.. CURRY.

In speaking OF the recent death OF
DR.. ]. l.. NJ. Curry the newspaper:
have generally mentioned as his CHIEF
distinction that he was at one time
the minister Of this country to Spain.
Some have also spoken Of his activity
in Southern educational matters, but
none have mentioned his authorship
of the little hand book "CurrY on the
Constitution This little book has
truly been an epoch maker, though
it has not been widely read. 1t has
gained circulation largely through
DR.. Curry's association with the men
at the North who are interested in
Southern education. Probably more
copies Of it have been read 10 MaSsa-
chusetts than 10 the whole tier OF
Gulf states. 1t Is perhaps not a better
statement OF the historic Southern
Interpretation of the national con-
s~titution than DR.. Dabney made in
his biography of Stonewall Jackson,
or than Jefferson Davis made in his
history OF the War between the
States, or than Alexander II Stephens
made in his constitutional View
but it is concise, consecutive, persua.
sigely phrased, and calmly stated.
The affection in which DR. Curry was
held by Northern educators induced
them to read It without the attitude
Of mental hostility. Besides slavery
was over. The people Of the North
always believed that the people OF
the South interpreted the coustitu-
tion as they did because OF theil
attachment to slavery. They could
never see, it was characteristic Of
them thai they could never see, thai
it was quite as likely that they inter,
preted the constitution as they die
because Of their hatred of slavery
and especially since they did moi
think Of such an Interpretation unit
slavery became a burning issue
Today the Southern Interpretation O
the constitution is taught in Harvard
university as the correct historical
Interpretation until it was amended
by the arbitrament Of arms. DR.
Curry's little book has worked won
ders at the North-a fact which
Southern people do not seem fully /,
appreciate,

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS?

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS
Hon. Baillie Wagner has intro
duced into the Kansas legislature a
bill making homicide justifable when
committed by any person in defense
of the character or reputation Of a
member of his or her family from
libel or SANDER. 1t would be inter-
esting to hear the debate on this bill
and to canvass the vote. 1t would be
interesting to read a statement Of the
conditions out of which this proposed
law has grown. Certain it is that
SANDER Of a mans family is a more
infamous crime than homicide. Ger.
tain it is, too, that it is the especial
offense of the cowardly. But if 1t
were not so serious a matter, II
would be amusing to see Kansas put
on the statute book what has been an
unwritten law Of the Southern states,
against which Northern people of the
Kansas type have launched every
shaft Of ridicule and invective. II
may be proof Of but thinly yelled
%barbarism, but the pistol and the
shot gun are the only specifics fol

A Record In Servants.

"My wife and l." said a Germantown
man, "have been married a little over
five years. We have no children, there
are just two in the family and we have
use for but one servant, a girl to do
general housework. One would nat
urally think that such a job would be
a sinecure for girl at 81 a week, the
wages my wife pays, and yet in those
five years we have had no less than
siXty-three separate and distinct girls
How do l know the exact number7 2
Well, l keep a diary, and among other
things 1 have jotted down the numer-
Gus changes in servants. Some Of
them have stayed a day or two, the
longest term of service being six
months. Some have been discharged,
some have gone out and failed to re-
turn, some have left because the work
was too hard, some have married, one
was arrested on a warrant sworn out
by a former mistress whom she had
robbed. It seems to me that sixty
three servants in five years is about the
record, and yet don't think we are
hard people to get balong with. If
didn't own my own home I'd give up
housekeeping and board" - Philadel-
phia Record.

A Temnent In a Teanot.

What war was caused by clay tea
pot?
For an answer to this question we
must go, as might be supposed, to the
land of pigtails and porcelain. The
story goes that a Chinese emperor in
olden days gave as a mark of special
favor magnificent clay teapot of rare
design to Lo Hung Chang, his favorite
mandarin.
This was laid up as a priceless pos
session among the treasures of Lo
Hung or borne at his side by two at
tendants at all high public festivals
and functions.
A rival mandarin saw these signs Of
distinction with the green eyes of jeal
Ousy and hired a man to break the OBJ
noxious pot. The clumsy fellow was
caught in the act an0 betrayed his
master. War followed between the two
mandarins and their respective follow
ers, which resulted in the overthrow
and death of Lo Hung Chang and the
reception of his rival into royal fay(f
in his place.-Londss'l Answers. .

The Beauty Of
Ashcroft.
By MARTHA M'CULLOCH-
WILLIAMS
Copyright, 1902, by T. c. Mcclure

Ensley was in the middle of presenta-
ton cOmmOnplaces when Bernice inter
rupted with, do you care to earn my
everlasting gratitudeY'
"Certainly. Only tell me how" he
said lamely, taken all aback. She
smiled at him, a faint, odd smile,
more of eyes than mouth, as she an
swered, with the least possible shrug:
Say that you have heard of the beau
ty of Ashcroft and are captive in ad-
vance. Everybody says that in course
OF an hour, and when things become
chronic l like to get them over with"
"Who is the beauty of Ashcroft?"
Ensley asked, with eyes of wide inno-
renee, yet a suppressed inclination to
nckle. Bernice shrugged again. "YOu
1t very WELL" she said-"much bet
n than common. Still l know you
know"
prove it." he said, still trying hard
to look puzzled. She laughed and
asked demurely, 'Is not this Ashcroft
village"

where you are wrong-where all the

good people are wrOn.. They told me
It was Ashcroft, and, behold, l have
found out better within the first hour"
- are giving yourself room to say
It Is dryland instead and that you
have found the fairy queen" Bernice
said solemnly. "That sounds new and
original, no doubt, to you, but really
two other men have said It, since-well,
since I've been the beauty"
'sOh, so it is you! A thousand par
dons. Pray forgive my density" Ems
ley implored. Bernice gave him a long
look, then said, II wonder if you have
the courage for a great experiment"
Il am a rank coward every way, but
ready to dare all a coward may" Ems
ley said, pressing the hand he still held
softly between both palms. Bernice
made to draw it away, but he kept it
fast. They were in the bay window
niche, we'll sheltered from curious
glances. You were made to be loved.
That goes without saying" he whis-
pered; "alsO to be made love to. Tell
me, though did any of the others ever
take fire quite so suddenly
Suddenly Bernice's tone and look
were witheriDg. Dear me! You ask
that after wasting five long minutes
before discharging the whole duty of
man"
Ensley flung back his head, laughing
heartily Quarter! Cry quarter!
he said. "But If l must do penance
for my misdeeds, please remember that
even injustice needs a tempering of
mercy"
Mercy would be wasted here" Ber-
nice said severely, though with twin
king eyes. Your sentence is to speak
and behave sensibly toward me, no
matter what may do, the whole time
you stay in Ashcroft"
Il shall serve it manfully," Ensley
said, smiling quizzically. But there
will come a day of reckoning, later,
and l shall be in it."
Ensley kept his word throughout the
fortnights visit, albeit Bernice did her
: best to make him break it. In spite of
fairly haunting her, seeking her out
morning, noon and night, he showed
: himself always and only a sprightly
. and entertaining comrade, taking chiv-
alrous account of her womanhOOd, but
none whatever of her youth and charm.
1t was wholly a new experience. Men
. had been prostrating themselves to
worship her ever since she was in
short frocks. The men had been very
= plenty. Her father. bluff and hearty
! Squire Elton, was the soul of hospital
. fly no less than the great man of Ash
croft. His big house. although 1t stood
} well outside the village, was the social
center. Whoever had his good word
and countenance was welcome any
where roundabout.
Naturally Bernlce, sole daughter and
heIress to the Elton thousands, who
had grown up motherless, was a triht
. Notwithstanding a fine young
creature, honester with herself than Ii
fha wont of womankind. Therefore
even before Ensley went away she hac
begun to ask herself II it was wholly
pleasant to have him sensible rather

Wine of Cardui reinforces the organs

nancy and childbirth. 1t prevents mis-
carriage. No woman who takes Wine
of Cardui need fear the coming of her
child. If Mrs. Unrath had taken
Wine of Cardui before her baby came
she would not have been weakened as
she was. Her rapid recovery should
commend this great remedy to every
expectant mother. Wine of Cardui
