the matter over. I determined not
certain. The next morning she was
off, and at about Il o'clock 1 was
putting the finishing touches to her
room-I mean the ordinary work of
the day. She had not gone more
than a mile before / began to move
the bureau out from the wall. I
had edged it out little way when
I heard the gate click, and pushing
the bureau hastily back, / stood up
right, and began to dust again the
immaculate top of the old piece of
furniture. AS did so, raised my
eyes to see Miss Dacres looking in
through the open window.
'There you are, busy as ever" said
she. "Just hand me my little coat,
will you? I forgot it. There it is,
hanging over the rocker. That's it;
th;S1k you. Now I'm really off," and
she was.
1 wondered if I looked conscious
as she stood at the window. When
I was sure that she was well away,
I again pushed the bureau out into
the room, and then I leaned down
and began to work at the drawer.
While jerking and pushing 1 heard
a rustic. She could not have pushed
the letters back very securely the
day before, for, lying fat on the
floor, 1 again perceived that packet.
I took it up hastily, and withdrawing
one letter, I restored the packet
through the wide crack and then
pushed the bureau back again. 1
then wondered, with the guilty con-
science of a novice in deceit, if Mr..
Beldon could by any possibility be
at home. But of course he was. My
day was his night. / went to the
door between the rooms and put my
eye to the keyhole. The keyhole
was dark. I could see nothing 1

After the FIeshpots Again

The Caucasian, published at Raleigh,
N. c., an anti-Wall Street paper, looks
with little favor upon the Parker presi-
dental nomination boom and the senti-
ment which is prompting a wing of the
party to give encouragement to it. By
changing the word southern the observa-
tions of the Caucasian may be made 10
apply to democrats of other sections who
are animated by the anything to win"
spirit. The Caucasian says:
Every day there is renewed evidence
of the apostasy of the southern democrats
They lose no opportunity in throwing
bouquets at Wall Street and Tammany
ard the northern and New England
democrats. They lose no opportunity to
make these elements understand that
they are ready to desert their declared
principles of 1896 and 1900 and to enter
into league with Tammany and Wall
Street democrats ON any platform and
with any candidate that will win and en-.
able them to again reach the pie-counter
and feed from the feshpots. Almost
every day we see declarations from south
ern democrats that they favor Judge
Parker of New York for President. What
does Judge Parker stand for? Nobody
knows. He is a colorless statesman
He has no defined position on any nation
al question has been local recluse on
the bench, and has never taken any part
III national affairs. It seems clear that
Wall Street is satisfied with him and that
he is selected as the colorless candidate
to enable the southern democrats to sup
port him because nobody knows what he
will stand for until after he is elected, if
he should be elected. The present situa-
ton illustrates exactly the sum and sub.
stance of southern democracy, party of
negation, without principles except for
campaign purposes, and ready to support
any candidate that can get the backing
OF Wall Street provided it will enable them
to win. They are now playing the same
game that they played when they put
Grover Cleveland in the White House."

Severe Attack of Grip

CURED BY ONE BOTTLE OF CHAMBERLAIN's COUGH
REMEDY.
when had an attack of the grip last
winter (the second one\ actually cured
myself with one bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy" says Frank w. Perry,
Editor of the Enterprise, Shortville, N.
Y. This is the honest truth. at times
kept from coughing myself to pieces by
taking teaspoonful of this remedy and
when the coughing spell would come on
at night l would take dose and it seemed
that in the bri fest interval the cough
would pass off and would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its accom-
panying pains. To say that the remedy
acted as most agreeable surprise is put
ting it very mildly. l had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip. simp-
ly because 1 had never tried it for such a
purpose, but it did. and it seemed with
the second attack of coughing the remedy
caused it to not only be of less duration,
but the pains were far less severe. and l
had not used the contents of one bottle
before Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For

Jacob Riis' Lecture.

The fourteen residents of Rising
Sun who went to Tome Institute to
hear Jacob Riis, on last Friday,
were enthusiastic over the days
lecturer and his theme-"The Bat
tie with the Slums."
1t was no silver tongued orator
who took us with dispatch to the
places we do not 60 to see when we
visit our great metropolis. With
rapid speech and swiftly-gliding
pictures we were made acquainted
with conditions as they were before
heroic men undertook the reform of
the tenements, and with conditions
as they exist today under the new
regime. Instead of "double deck
ed" tenement houses with their
325 thousand windowless rooms,
there are now the comfortable ten
ements, where light and air can
circulate and where the children
have open courts to play in, in
place of the alleys hung with signs
''No ball playing allowed in this
back yard" In place of one vile
den stands a magnificent pier; the
upper part of which is used for a
slum kindergarten. Gardens and
swimming pools have been pro
videded in some districts and a
number of old cemeteries have been
fixed up for children's play,
grounds.
The public schools have been so
marvelously improved that now
there is a law providing that no
school house shall be erected in New
York city without an outdoor play
ground. If ground cannot be Sc
cured for this purpose a roof en-
closed by rails and covered by wire
netting is used.
Mr.. Riis told of the great work
done by street commissioner Geo.
E. Warning and by Pres. Roosevelt.
Facts cannot be disputed and 1t
was easy enough to see how direct
the road is from the slums to the
penitentiary. From matching pen
dies, playing at drunken man and
robber, the game becomes life and
the end one Of many crimes.
Jacob Riis sees our only hope in
educating the Stun children, who,
he says, are just as good as
any other children if they have
good conditions. These boys, when
men, have the same power to enact
laws that good men have, and we,
if we do not change their condi-
tions, are cheated "cheated of the
boys citizenship"
Jacob Riis is a Dane by birth,
but America is proud to claim him
as her citizen.

The President and the Secretary OF
State have given it out that they intend
to improve the personnel of the Consular
service, and hereafter complaints against
Cousuls will be investigated rigidly.
There have been more virtual removals OF
Consu's lately than ever before in the
same length of time in the history of the
service. Two we're asked to resign be-
cause of irregularities in their official
methods, one for making alleged insult
ing remarks and others for general I'M
fitness. If the President is in earnest in
his efforts to better the government SER
vice he should not stop with the wedding
out of the Consuls. There is little doubt
the heads of departments could point out
hundreds of incompetents who are hold
ing their positions through political pull,
and not from any sense of reward for their
ability, should he ask them.

Smallpox Situation at Havre de Ora.

smallpox Situation at HaVre de Grace
The Democratic Ledger has the
following to say of the small. pox
situation in Havre de Grace:
can additional case of small poX
appeared here on Monday, when it
was discovered that the 3 months
old child of Mr.. and Mrs. III. II.
Bowden, was suffering from the
disease. This is the second case
that has appeared in this city since
the alarm first started. In order
to provide for the latter case, and
prevent, if possible, the develop
ment of new casss, 12X12 foot ad
dition has been built to the hos
pital on the Cover Hill road, and
the child, together with its mother
and colored immune, who was en-
ployed by the family, have been
quarantined. Much complaint has
been heard that Mr.. Bowden could
not be kept at the hospital, as he
was disposed TO wander over the
hills, gun in hand, and also pay
visits to this city. State Health
Officer DR.. Fulton was notified and
informed the patient that the state
law provided a penalty of both
heavy fine and imprisonment if he
violated the law regulating the
care of small pox cases."

In Berlin. which has one of the best
conducted city governments of any i'll the
Old World, the people believe in munic-
ipal ownership Of public works and the
city owns gas and electric plants and
lights the streets and private houses as
well, conducts savings banks and loan
offices, runs an insurance company, be-
sides being interested in numerous other
undertakings. That public ownership is
no experiment is proven by the fact that
the city not only pays all her own ex-
penses but comes out thousands OF dollars
ahead at the end of the year.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.
