Why Many Young Men Fail.

1t is the fault and the cause of the
failure of so many bright, capable
young men that, being put into a Ger.
tain workday rut, they make no effort
to climb or even crawl out of it; they
do not seek the work that is not rou-
tine, and go beyond the terms of the
bond in search of additional labor in
order to attract tie approving notice
of their employers. They do not go
to their posts before nor remain at
them after the fixed hour. They are
content to do enough, and no more
than enough, to earn their hire. The
life of the average clerk is generally
genteel, easy, clearly; he need not
soil his hands, nor his clothes, and
his ambition is satisfied with these
pleasant conditions. - Philadelphia

With almost as much secrecy as he
had observed in securing special
license from the Church of England,
William K Vanderbilt was married to
Mrs. Anna Rutherfurd at London, Eng
land, April rs. Rev. H. R. Hadden
performed the ceremony at st. Mark s
church in North Audley street Two
of the four attendants were the duke
and duchess of Marlborough, the
duchess being the bridegroom's daugh-
ter.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bride and bridegroom left London
secretly and their destination was I'M
known. A telegram from Dover, how
ever, says they crossed the channel on
a steamer going to Calais
Mr.. Vanderbilt, it appears, person
ally secured the license to wed and
managed the whole affair himself.
Three weeks ago he established
residence in London and four days be-
fore the wedding he personally ap-
piled for and secured a license from
the bishop of London.
Half dozen doors from ST. Mark
church is Tarrant's hotel, quiet and
old fashioned, but once one of Lon
don's most famous hostelries- From
TINS motel MT vanderbilt walked TO
the church. For the last three weeks
he had been staying off and ON in a
modest apartment in Tarrant's, quail
flying by this residence to secure the
license
The wedding took place just before
noon Winfield Hoyt of New York
was the best man and Henry White
gave away the bride. The only other
persons in the church, besides the
verger, were the duke and duchess of
Marlborough.
Mrs Rutherfurd wore a simple gray
travelling dress and no jewels of any
kind. M. Vanderbilt, Mr. White and
the duke of Marlborough wore the
usual frock costs. There was no we'd
ding breakfast or reception
The bride was the recipient of
many handsome presents from Mr..
Vanderbilt and Others
Mrs. and Miss White are still stay
ing at Mrs. Rutherfurd's fiat in Paris.
Mrs. White would have accompanied
Mrs. Rutherfurd to London for the
wedding, but Mrs. Rutherfurd asked
her to stay with her children.
The duke and duchess of Marlbor-
ough had crossed the channel from
France on purpose to witness the Van
derbilt-Rutherfurd wedding. Both
the duke and the duchess are said to
be pleased, but there is much specula-
ton as to the extent to which the
marriage of Mr.. Vanderbilt may affect
the pecuniary expectations OF the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-05-09
Too Radical a Reformer.

Count Batthyany, a young man OF
twenty-six, and an enthusiastic Toll

lum in Austria for the insane at the
instigation Of his relations. His
friends say that he is perfectly ra

lease. The Count has an immense
estate. and set about to inculcate his
doctrines among his tenants. These
serf-like peasants he treated az
brothers, preached anarchy, and read
to them Tolstoiss works, which he
translated into the Magyar tongue
On account of these doings, his reia

abhorrent had him placed in the

Over the low fire in the middle of
the waste place that had been a ban
quoting hall crouched Hugh O'Rourke.
He was wet and chilled to the bone
with a long ride through mountain
mists in the heart of winter. There
was winter in his heart, too, for his
step was a broken one, and his name
prescribed, and, where his father
might have held together the breaking
fortunes of name and clan by the
sheer power of voice and face, Hugh
the younger had been borne by his
mother in a time of tempest and terror,
and his face was wan and uncomely
and his eyes wild and sad.
My father did not well to take a
woman by force" he said aloud to the
sinking fire that was all his company.
BLACK eyes and yellow hair pleased
him well, belize, but he pleased not
my mother, and she revenged her upon
me who was innocent and unborn, CIV
ing me an April mind and a craving
heart for her gifts on the day that she
conceived me. Who enters there, in
the name of God?" He sprang up,
sword in hand, and then laughed at
his outcry, for it was a girl child who
stood in the doorway, a little maid of
eleven years, fair to see, white as a
snowdrop. with pale yellow hair
streaming from under her put back
hood.
Little maid, you come to an empty
house" Hugh O'Rourke said "tbut you
are welcome. You do not come
alonee''
Il come alone, Aodh," she said, an
swering his English with the Irish
tongue Il shall not fill your house"
ct -&s
while she came slowly down the room
toward him, shaking the raindrops
from her flowing hair as she came A
little way from the fire she stood,
looking at him with large eyes.
why do you meet me with bare
steel?" she said. 81 looked for other
greeting from your fathers son, Hugh
O'Rourke.''
Hugh cast down his sword upon the
bench he had risen from and took a
step forward to meet her. Then he
stopped, amazed for it was not
child she was, but a grown woman it
was that cast off hood and cloak and
came to him with eager face and
eager hands.
Hugh O'Rourke," she said again IN
the kindly Irish tongue, have you for
gotten me so soon?"
have ever seen you before, o fair
~one?" Hugh said. Then, because her
fingers were warm in his and her eyes
dwelt on his, he ceased questioning
and had no more wonder or fear at
the fairy change than had passed upon
her in a moment, making a woman out
of a child.
II am she you have desired so long"
she said, with tears and laughter in
her voice. Il am she whose eyes you
have seen in many faces that looked
not kind on you, whose breast you
have desired to lie on so many times,
whose soul your soul has sought and
never found
And she laid her mouth to his
mouth, and the beating heart of her
huttered like bird against his breast,
and the fairy eyes of her darkened
and laughed and lightened into his
and set all his blood on fire.
A little while they chung together
go; then he put her from him and held
her at arms length, looking at her
with eyes that were anhungered.

anger, but now ! lift my curse"
the b3ndage of hair from his eyes and
smiled down into them-'you love me,
Hugh?"
IF 1 know what love is, beloved
She uncovered his eyes and looked
deep into them, laughing. Il am beau
ty and / am love, and / have chosen
to lie on the bosom of a man whom
the tongue of the world knows not
a dreamer who has achieved none of
his dreams, soldier whose sword has
won him nothing-and there is beauty
and success and strength in the world
outside. How is it you can keep me
here, Hugh?''
Sweet, 1 shall never know"
Hush, unbelieveri Let us be man
and woman together for little. My
feet are cold, and 1 have hunger and
thirst upon me, Hugh. Bring me food
and drink, and let be the fire. You
shall warm my hands in your hands,
Hugh, when we have eaten together"
Dear. what will you eat? There is
only coarse bread here, but have red
wine in my butt. and there is honey in
the comb, 1 think, and store of-apples
in the loft-Winter Queenings, and the
like"
Bring me here the bread and wine
and honey, beloved, and we will make
a wedding feast of these. And bring
me a Winter Queening that we may
play ball with it when we have eaten"
He went out, and came back soon
with the bread and wine in basket
on his arm, the apple in his hand, and
silk coverlet over his shoulder. He
laid the quilt down at her feet.
This for your carpet, beloved Now
will you eat?"
She drank half the cup of wine that
he poured out. and Hugh drank after
her; then they broke bread and ate
the honeycomb together.
Tell me my name, Hugh?'

so bright, beloved"

a woman that was bitterly wronged of

to cry for the passing of every

The woman dropped to his feet, sho1

kissed them: rose to her knees and
