A volume by the late Anthony
Froude, the historian, tells this story
of Carlyle and his wife, who lived on
VIGOROUSLY bad terms, the latter dying
first: Carlyle found a remembrance in
her diary of the blue marks which In
a fit of passion he had once inflicted on
her arms AS soon as he could collect
himself he put together memoir Of
her, in which with deliberate courage
he inserted the discriminating passages
of her diary. the note of the blue marks
among them and he added an injunc
ton of his own that, however stern and
tragic TINT record might be, it was
never to be DESTROYED"

NOVA scotia ships Are said to BE the

VvOrat AnOnt.
The worst case in the way OF a ship
into which jack can go Is n Nova SEQ
tian. A certain Nova Scotia ship came
into port ut Santos one day with "A crew
that was little short of mutinous owing
to the fact that the captain was too
spuring of the rattons. The ship had a
bad name among sailors at the best,
and as soon us she was anchored the
entire crew cleared out For three
weeks after she had discharged and got
her new cargo she lay there with no
crew to take her to sea. At last the
captain went to some of the crimps on
shore ana told them to round up crew
under any pretext. The crimps sent
men around the docks offering big
wages to any of the loungers who
would go aboard the vessel to rig
some new sails Some twenty men
were quickly picked up, many of them
in their shirt sleeves, and We're taken
aboard. They were then covered with
revoIvers and rifles by the officers,
ana the anchor was weighed, and the
Nova Scotia ship stood out to sea, her
unwilling crew leaving families behind
without even a chance to let them
know what had happened. The next
port was Sydney, and the next YOko-
hama, then San Francisco, then Val
paraIso, then Lisbon, and for those men
who stayed with the ship 1t was just
Two and n half years until she went to
Grande du Sui, the nearest port home.
Many of them, however, had cleared
out and gone home In other ships long
before that.-Broughton Brandenburg

ERe Glory Of calisornIn seener


AS long as there remains the love of
beauty in the human soul SO long will
the glory Of California scenery and
that of the whole Pacific coast prove
a source of inspiration to the poetic
mind. Descriptive verse has been
from the beginning a marked feature
of the literature OF this region. In fact,
the term Landscape poets" may be
properly applied to this bevy of song
birds which seemed to the late Maurice
Thompson to have taken complete
possession of the entire western sea
board" Suffice it to say that ii vol
ume of verse were written by Cali
fornian which reflected nothing of the
states scenic beauty or its warmth of
color it would not only come as sur
prise to most reviewers, but the loyalty
of the poet might be seriously ques-
toned. While ull this display of local
color may seem too apparent an effort
on the part of Californlans to place up
on their work the stamp of definite
locality, and may be considered by
some a cheap form of nrt, it is this very
constituencies to beauty and grandeur
with which nature has clothed the west
that offers the most promise OF it's

tivencss, moreover. that win become
more and more acute with the cultiva-
ton OF the higher faculties through In

a many-sided contest is started in some
of the smaller towns when there is
vacancy in the postmastership Appiica-
lions are made and many letters of en-
dorsement are received. 1t is natural to
suppose that the recommendation. by the
county organization, of one particular
person will not please other candidates.
and the friends of men successful in their
efforts write to ascertain if it is not pos
sible to change the recommendation OF
the territorial and county committee
which is made in every postoffice case
These demands are something on the
strenuous order, but then one can hardly
go behind the endorsements of the pro-
per men in each county. These are some
Of the things that confront delegate TO

UP.TO THE RAILROAD.
Enid Has Cut Rate From Frisco and
Wants More.

Enid o. T.. April 25.-The Eagle.
speaking of the cut rate made by the
Frisco. asks very pertinent question as
follows:
Now that the Frisco officials have
granted jobbers' rates to Enid 70 all
points in Oklahoma and the Indian Ter
ritory, there has been much discussion
as to whether the Rock Island would do
likewise and meet the cut in rates. There
has been a rumor recently that they
would meet the cut. but the local officials
here state that as yet they have received
no instructions in regard to jobbbers
rates. But it is the belief of many OF our
business men that the Rock Island will
come to the almost inevitable, and be-
fore many months grant our people job
bers' rates to all points in the Territory.
VIII they do it?
1t is the opinion of some of the Rock
Island people that the officials OF that
road will also make Enid their passenger
division point but this is another matter
that only time will tell
