The controversy over the completion of Ste
vens's unfinished monument to the Duke OF Wei
lington in St PauTs Cathedral amuses those
behind the scenes. Sir Edward Poynter lays
stress upon his own and Lord Leighton's ef-
forts to interest patrons of art and compel the
government 10 take up the work. but the real
grievance is that the sculptor selected TO carry
ont Steuers's designs is not an Academician-
John Tweed was honOTed with Cecil Rhodes's
enthusiastic friendship. and commissioned TO
hand down 10 posterity the form and features
OF the African Colossus. Mr.. Rhodess friends
have Offered TO bear the expense Of the compile
tion OF Stevenss work, and dean and chapter
have accepted Mr.. Tweed. The reply of the
Bishop Of Stepney TO Sir Edward Poynters
structures shows that Archbishop Temple was
not the only English prelate with keen sense
OF humor. as Mr. Stevens was not an Acade-
lnician Mr Tweed's unacademic art is not out
Of place in patching up the Wellington monu-
rnent.

CHAPTER NH.

|, The months rolled on and Sir Thomas
and Lady Nevil were as happy as united
lovers in a story book. June is quite n
great lady now, and by no means indif-
ferent to the fact that she is so. although
she bears her honors in the most modest
ana u~nassuming way. Agnes had gone
with a friend to Italy for the winter. ex-
tremely thankful to escape from the sight
of the happiness which was gall and
NORWOOD to her.
LON deserved to be happy, and he was
happy. When, in September, the bells
rang and the announcement was made
that there was nm heir to the houses of
Ellesmerc and Nevil, his happiness SEEM
cd almost too much for him.
After Christmas they were to have n
series of guests ut the Hall. Dallas was
to come for n couple of days, for Tom
would have laughed to scorn the thought
of being jealous of any living man now
Mrs. Trcvanion and her son, an Elton boy
OF seventeen, were expected, and two or
three other young people for Madge's es-
pecial benefit.
Madge adored June more than ever. and
June had promised that il they took a
house for the season in town, Madge
should go to them for Il whole month.
Tom made II terribly wry face over the
house in town, but he had no idea Of
thwarting June, who was rather bent up
on II, and only stipulated that he should
be there on and off, and that the baby
should not be taken to Pandemonium.
Her ladyship wanted the whole family to
migrate, and the first time there had ever
been the shadow of a tiff between them
was when Tom offered serious opposition
to her wishes on this score. Tom would
not have that precious life endangered
by the pestilential atmosphere of London.
June was not used to hearing him say
would and would not. And, as the young
Sir Thomas was as robust ms any infant
In the world, she was rather incensed at
what she chose to consider her husbands
foolishness.
So she shed some tears Of mixed anger.

June had got her own way in COMING
TO London, but it did not make her vor,,
happy. She felt a sense of secret irrita.
ton against Tom for not being hapnv foo
and she was vexed because he had baon
so obstinate about the baby. Until now,
she had not believed him capable of ofror-
ing persistent opposition to any wish NJ
hers. And his scruples were absurd M
house was large and airy: it looked on
green trees; they were near both tba
parks. London was healthy. the cb;jd
was thoroughly robust; if he were here
Tom would never be able to tear bimso,,

would not have the irritation Of see;ns

CHAPTER XII-(Continued.)

Inc emu OF september WAS approaching
and they were debating in their happy
minds whether it would be more delight
full to go on to Italy or to return home, a
word possessing an equal charm for both
now, when their movements were decided
by a letter from Mrs. Ellesmere:
MY Dear Toni have this morning
received news Of the death of poor Tom
Nevil, of typhoid fever. The shock has
been so terrible to poor Sir Thomas that
IL is feared he viii not recover from It.
He has fallen into a state of apathy from
which nothing can rouse him, and any
day he may die. Under the circumstances,
you being the next heir, do you not think
you ought to return to England? Poor
Tom leaves two little girls, and l have
ascertained that there is no expectation Of
an heir. You will, l know, feel very much
for poor Mrs. Nevil. l think you should
write to her; of course it is rather a deli
cate position for you, but l am sure you
will do the right thing. l shall not be
able to receive you on your return unless
you particularly desire it, as l think young
people are best left to themselves Just at
first. Give my kindest love to dear June,
and believe me
Your affectionate mother,
VIOLET ELLESMERE."
This news caused Tom the deepest con-
Germ. No thought of the benefit likely
to accrue to himself from the misfor-
tune of his kinsfolk entered his brain as
he e the letter; all he felt was sheer
sorrow. And June, the tenderest hearted
creature in the world, cried for pity of
the poor bereaved wife whose anguish
she was now fully able to comprehend.
What could they do for her? They laid
their heads together and made all sorts
of plans by which ultimately her grief
was to be lightened, and then, between
them, they wrote her the kindest letter
that two sympathizing young hearts could
devise.
And so they retraced their steps slowly
homeward. In Paris they received the
news of Sir Thomas death.
The rejoicings and honors that had
been planned for the young couples re-
turn were, by Toms especial request.
%foregone. He departed at once for the
North, to attend Sir Thomas Neyips fu-
neral, and June cried all the evening and
half the night, so heart-broken was she
at being bereaved of her lord: and. like
all tender, foolish women who love. she
tormented herself with fears for his safe

covered principally by expressions of en-
dearment which might have seemed mo-
notonous to another person, but were
heavenly sweet to the recipient. On Toms
return June quite startled at being ad-
dressed as my lady" and hearing him
called Sir Thomas.
1t was rather b~ewildering to her to
think of herself as Lady Nevil. 1t is not
often that a person bears three names in
less than six weeks. In that time she
mad been Miss Rivcrs-Mrs. Ellesmere-
Lady Nevif.

honors himself, but it pleased him hugely
to hear his darling cnlled .my lndvn

TEDDY's BREAK.

Boston is all astir. Not only that,
but it is highly indignant. It's So
cial standing, its honor and even its
beans have been attacked, and just at
present it is the rnaddest city in the
United States. II could chew mp
Teddy and spit him out without the
least perception of frown. Teddy
has insulted it, grossly so, and all it
wants is to ,,et hold of him and no
bear Will ever have the satisfaction
of making hash out of him.
The other day he appointed negro
to the high position of assistant dis
trict- torney and Boston too away
up yonder in the yankee state of Mas
sachusetts. Had it occurred, like the
one did the other day in South Caro-
lima, it would have been all right for
cultured Boston. But it is not now,
and the Bostonians are up in arms.
1t is stated that this pergo is not
one Of the crap-shootiDg kind, but is
a graduate Of the law department Of
Harvard and really has little legal
learning. He was IA kind Of pet at
school and of course this ruined him.
He was good football player and the
people therefore concluded that he
was about as good as white man
and showded him great respect. But
when he was appointed to the lucra-
tive position of assistant district
ney it was the straw that broke the
camel's back and the high toned Bos-
tonains went back on him and Teddy,
for they wanted the place themselves.
But it does us good to know that
the negro was appointed to fat office
and that Teddy is responsible for the
appointment. Massachusetts will
now quit shaking its CORY locks at
Mississippi and telling us that the ne
gro down here has no more showing
than the common Indian and that our
people refuse to recognize him. Now
in this case Boston did not recognize
him nor would it recognize any other
appointee to such q lucrative office.
Furthermore it is only sorry that
Teddy was not eaten by the bears Of
this state even had it killed the
bears.
This is another one of Teddy's
breaks, but this time it broke out in
the wrong part of the country.
The south had asked him if he would
appoint a negro to prominent office
in the north like the appointment of
the negro Crum in South Carolina
and, bull-headed as he is, he did, and
now let him get out of it the best
way he can.

CHILD LABOR.
New Orleans States.

A short time ago there was quite
an outburst at the north because Of
the alleged encouragement Of child
labor at the south and especially III
the states where cotton spinning is a
booming industry. In this connection
it is we'll to call attention to the fact
that quite number of southern states
have taken steps to prevent the en-
ployment of children under certain
ages. 1t is also we'll to say that
child labor in the cotton mills of the
south got its start in the mills built
by northern capital and operated by
northern managers. In this way the
mills could be operated with the GER
tainty of greater dividends than the
mills of the east which are prevented
by law from employing child labor
Be that as it may, there are now
vigorous complaints of the increase of
child labor at the north The fact
has been brought out at the anthra-
cite coal hearings that many children
of miners were employed in silk mills
on night shifts for bare pittance.
They were nearly all under the legal
age of fourteen for such employment.
This growing evil is not confined to
the mining regions of Pennsylvania,
or to the silk mill industry. 1t goes
wherever the avarice of man and the
poverty of the people are determining
focres According to the report of fac
tories INSPECTORS there are at present
9, 900 children under fourteen years of
age employed in Massachusetts,, $1,000
in New York, 10000 in Illinois and
So, 900 in Pennsylvania, the figures in
this does not include boys employed
in the coal mines. In Illinois the
factory inspectors reported the num-
Der of children employed in establish
ments under their inspection doubled
from 1897 to 1901. This is a much
worse showing than most northern
people looked for. The Pittsburg
Post says:
Eve accomplished our duty and
promoted measures for reform by our
urgent appeals as to child albor in
the southern cotton mills. 1t is full
time, therefore, that we paid more at
tention to the increasing prevalence
of the cruelty and wrong of child
labor in the northern centers of in
dustry.''
The Ethical Record published
by the New York society for ethical
culture, says:
There is no question that the en-
ployment of children has become
universal custom among the working
population of our large cities. Ex-
pectations occur only among the most
skilled artisans and in occasional
families unusually ambitious for
their children. -
The remedies proposed are thor
ough overhauling of the laws on the
subject of child labor, making them
more effective and securing their en-
forcement. The prohibition of their
employment in the mills and factories

One of the most important ques-
tions to come up at this session OF
the Alabama Legislature is the propo-

law, on the same plan that Candidate
Critz is now agitating. The present
law is sham and all out of shape.
In fact if the schools of the state
would return to Webster's speller,
Davies arithmetic, handful of per-
simmon switches and other such
studies, it would be much better for
the children of the country. The re-
cent books are not worth the match
required to set them afire.
