heart upon the sleeve. Then he had
that strong vein of prudence and eau
ton which, in view of Mary's unattain-
ableness, would probably come to his
help. But never was mans heart strong
enough to resist Mary Tudor's smile
for long.
There was this difference between
Brandon and most others-he would be
slow to love, but when love should once
fairly take root in his intense nature he
would not do to trifie with.
The night after the meeting Mary
cuddled up to Jane, who slept with her,
and whispered half bashfully:
Tell me all about Brandon. l am
interested in him. l believe if l knew
more persons like him l should be a
better girl, Notwithstanding he is one
of the bodest men | ever knew. He
says anything he wishes and, with all
his modest manner, is as cool with me
as if | We're burgher's daughter His
modesty is all on the outside. but it is
pretty, and pretty things must be on
the outside to be useful. l wonder If
Judson thought him modest"
Jane talked of Brandon to Mary, who
was in an excellent humOr, until the
girls fell asleep.
When Jane told me of this, became
frightened, for the surest way to any
woman's heart is to convince her that
you make her better and arouse in her
breast purer impulses and higher aspi-
rations. 1t would be bad enough should
Brandon fall in love with the princess,
which was almost sure to happen,
but for them to fall in love with each
other meant BrandOn's head upon the
block and Mary's heart bruised, broken
and empty for life. Her strong nature,
filed to the brim with latent passion,
was the stuff of which love makes
confagration that burns to destruc-
ton, and should she learn to love Bran
don she would move heaven and earth
to possess him.
She whose every desire from child
hood up had been gratified. whose
every within seemed to her a para
mount necessity, would stop at moth
ing when the dearest wish a woman's
heart can coin was to be gained or lost.
Brandon's element Of prudence might
help him and might forestall any ef-
fort on his part to win her, but Mary
had never heard of prudence. and
mans caution avails but little when
set against woman's daring. In case
they both should love they were sure
to try for each other and in trying were
equally sure to find ruin and desola-
ton.
A few evenings after this I met the
princess in the queens drawing room.
She beckoned me to her and, resting
her elbows on the top of cabinet, her
chin In her hands, said: II met your

answer came: "That you shall not. But
here is the queen, and l suppose we
must have the benediction." Brandon
understood her hint, that the preaching
was over, and, taking it for his dismiss
al, playfully lifted his hands in imita-
ton of the old bishop of Canterbury
in benediction. Then they both laughed
and courtesied, and Brandon walked
away.

fM0 LAUGHED heartily when Jane
I%Ik told me of the tilt between
SS,z.eoV Brandon and Princess Mary,
(SsEs4J the latter of whom was in the
habit Of saying unkind things and be-
ing thanked for them.
Brandon was the wrong man to say
them to, as Mary learned. He was not
hot tempered-in fact, just the reverse
but he was the last man to brook an
affront and the quickest to resent in a
cool headed, dangerous way an inten-
tional offense.
He respected himself and made 9th
ers do the same, or seem to do so at
least He had no vanity, which is but
an inordinate desire for those qualities
that bring self respect and often the re-
suit of conscious demerit, but he knew
himself and knew that he was entitled
to his own good opinion. He was every
inch a man, strong intelligent and
brave to temerity, with a reckless dis
regard of consequences, which might
have been dangerous had it not been
tempered by a dash of prudence and
caution that gave him ballast
was not surprised when l heard of
the encounter, for l knew enough Of
him to be sure that Mary's high handed
ness would meet its counterpart in my
cool friend Brandon. 1t was, however,
an unfortunate victory, and what all
Mary's beauty and brightness would
have failed to do her honest, open ac-
acknowledgement of wrong, following SO
quickly upon the heels of her fault, ac-
complished easily. 1t drew him within
the circle of her fatal attractions, and
when Jane told me of it knew his fate
was sealed and that sooner or later his
untouched heart and cool head would
fall victim to the shafts that so surely
winged all others.
1t might and probably would be
"later," since, as Brandon had said, he

A Democrat of Democrats.

position TO say with good deal Of
emphasis, Il am Democrat" Judge
Clark, who is William j, Bryan S
favorite for the presidential candidacy
Of his party for 1904, would have
nearly every official of the nation and
state chosen by the vote of the people.
He would abolish the electoral college,
choose Presidents and vice presidents
in the same way that governors are
now elected, and would make the
same change in the case of United
States senators, judges of all the fed
eral courts and incumbents of almost
all the other posts down TO post
masters.
This sort of doctrine ought to COM
mend Judge Clark to the Western end
Of the Democratic party, at least.
There has been an agitation among
the Western Democrats for many years
past in favor of the election of PreSi.
dents, vice presidents and senators by
popular vote, but Clark has gone
farther, in an address before the
Kansas bar association. and has ad-
vocated the election of virtually all
federal officers. He would make the
Supreme Court elective. as well as all
the rest of the federal judiciary. Clark
calls the present system of appoint
ment of the judiciary ''undemocratic. "
1t would be abolished Immediately If
he had the power, and all the offices.
from postmaster to President, would
be filled by direct vote of the people.

In the National association of teach
ers at Boston, more than usual atten-
tion is given TO the position of the
grade teacher. This term means the
teacher of the common, public and
private schools who touches the life of
the child from his first day of school
life to his entrance into the high
school.
This teacher and this class of teach
ers mould the citizenship of the coun-
try; they touch at some period every
sane and normal child, except the
comparatively few in the great Geo.
ters of population, and they determine
largely the character of the citizen
ship and of the social life Of every
&c 'eration.
The grade teacher makes the citi-
zen. The high school teacher shapes
a few Of the citizens. The pro-
fesSOr In the college and unl-
versity touches still less Hence, If
any single class of the instructors of
youth should be most carefully direct
ed into certain and high uniformity
of purpose and be most literally re-
warded for their efforts, it IS the
grade teacher Elkhart Review.

The watch which Paul Revere car
ried on his midnight ride 12S years
ago is still serviceable timepiece and
is owned by Frederick Lincoln Crane
of Maiden, Mass. This relic, pro-
nounced by expert antiquarians to be
undoubtedly what it is claimed, fell
into Mr.. Cranes hands something over
year ago by a very interesting chain
of circumstances.
Paul Re lere left this watch by will
to his son, Joseph Revere. who 10 turn
passed it down to Col. Frederick w.
Lincoln of Canton, his nephew and
the grandson of the Revolutionary
scout. This Colonel Lincoln was for
many years the head of the Revere
Copper Company's work in Canton.
the industry, it will be remembered,
with which Paul Revere was SO long
connected.
Frederick w. Lincoln, afterward
mayor of Boston, was adopted by
Colonel Lincoln, and because of this,
as well as because he was the patriot
Paul's great-grandson, he would have
been the natural heir to the watch.
Just here, however. an interesting bit
of romance came in to divert the relic
to the present owner.
Colonel Lincoln had in DR.. PhineaS
Miller Crane, late of East Boston, the
father of Mr.. Crane, of Maiden, a
very dear friend. Often DIR. Crane
had admired the Paul Revere watch,
and in love for the tlmepiece his
bride heartily shared. This fact he
let drop to Colonel Lincoln one day in
the course of conversation, proposing,
half in jest, that he sell him the
watch to give his fiancee the day she
became bis wife.
Naturally Colonel Lincoln was
averse to letting the watch 60 to one
not of the Revere blood but his friend s
request seemed to offer to him an ad-
mirable opportunity to set the seal on
friendship which had meant much
to them both. as well as to Miss
Dwight. so he consented to part with
the watch and it became the property,
the day she became Mrs. Crane. of the
woman both men wished to please.
The number of the watch, which is
IA 1S-carat gold case, is 24.650, and
that it was well made is demonstrated
by the fact that today, 12S years after
the night it served the owner on his
famous ride, it keeps good time.

an area equal to one. third of the
United States without Alaska and our
outlying colonies. He has in addition
mines in Siberia which produce a vast
revenue, and bonds and stocks and
gold galore. Indeed no, one knows
what his revenue is. The crown do

At this season, in the interest of
humanity, it is customary to announce
that there are to kinds of mosquitoes,
the culex and anopheles. The latter
is directly responsible for the spread
of the germs of malaria. The former
is harmless and merely annoying.
The difference between them can be
readily determined. While resting
on any surface the body and tail of
the anopheles are at an angle to the
surface, while the same parts of the
culex are parallel. Thoughtful citizens
who would not have the shadow Of
crime unon them will be careful to as
certain whether the tormentor is be-
mgr culex or baleful annopheles, but
our advice is. swat the mosquito
whenever you can.

The tripartite debate between
Presidents Eliot of Harvard, Harper
Of Chicago and Butler of Columbia
over the length of the baccalaureate
course and the preparation for.pro-
fessional schools must have been an
intellectual treat to those who had
the pleasure of hearing it.
The three men represent three diff
ferent forms of energy, and each has
its special value. President Eliot
represents power through repose,
latent strength, that without haste
and without rest works It's miracle in
calm serenity. President Harper has
the force which grasps every favora-
BILE opportunity within reach and con.
verts it into good for his university,
which to him is OF more Importance
than the universe. In fact, it is the
universe, or will be, If he carries out
his plans. President Butler has zeal
and purpose, but he believes the uni
versity IS made for man and not man
for the university.
DIR. Harper would hold onto the
stunent for four years at least, and as
much longer as possible. DR.. Eliot
has confidence that the excellent
quality of work done at Harvard is 81
efficient that three years study is
sufficient to equip man for his pro-
fessional training, which should be
entered on by the time he is 81. Presi-
dent Butler would adapt the univer-
slty to the needs of the individual
student, giving the young man edn-
cational doses in packages of two,
three or four years, as the case re-
quire.
When doctors of philosophy disa-
gree it is as difficult to decide which
is right as it is when doctors of medi-
cine are at odds, and people may side
with either as they please.
DR.. Haper will still continue to lay
hands on students and hold them till
they are gray If he chooses. The
magic names Of Harvard and Presi-
dent Eliot will irresistible draw men
to Harvard In spite Of the attractions
offered elsewhere, and Columbia with
its "adaption of the environment to
the organism" will hold its own with
the other two.
Smaller institutions may initiate
either course as seems best to each,
but these three universities are able
