His physical health was coming

single occupant, Yet, when he would
go into the portrait gallery and look
at my Lady's Portrait" it seemed to
him impossible that he could ever fall
in love with a living woman while fha
memory of the picture clung to him
In this dilemma he made up his
mind that he would either destroy the
picture or present II TO some public
gallery.
With this In mind he took a long
ride 10 debate with himself. and final
ly came TO the decision that he would
try to seek out the surviving members
Of the Dinwiddie family and present
them with the whole collection of their
family portraits.
Determining on this he returned to
the house after an absence of several
hours. and strode into the portrait

1t was Jermyn's first love affair

When cannot is opposed to must
then cannot will have to yield. Either
you must have complete rest or you
will have a Complete mental break

or in an insane asylum" said the nhv-
sician with a directness that would
have been brutal had it not been so

He had long been regarded as a ris.

and sage old heads had predicted that
he would some day be q power in the

This had been his own ambition
and it hurt to give II up, but he
found some consolation In the fact
that he would have at least million

after all, he concluded.
So Re bought the old Dinwiddie
mansion on the James River. in Vir-

chafing still a little for the excite

pang OF momentary defeat.
Then came the love affair, and with
the love affair the discovery that he

Exploring this. Jermyn came across
one portrait before which he paused
OF young girl. slender and beautiful
as May morning Her costume was
that of the 18th century, and its col.
ors were still almost as bright as
when first painted
a few of the old servants of the
I Dinwiddic family sill lived on the
! place, hut Jermyn could gain no in
formation from them as to the iden-
tity of the portraits original. None
OF the family had lived on the place
since the civil war. and Jermyn grad
ually gave up the hope of naming the
picture
Instead he began calling ii My
Lady's Portrait" and took to standing
in front of ii for hours at a time and
making up all sorts of romance about

Now, Jermyn had never been ac-
cused of being a sentimentalist. and
II came on him with a distinct shock
that this romancing about the por-
trait was a. sign of the mental weak
ness which he had come so to dread.
His doctor was his old friend. and 10
him Jermyn wrote a full account OF
| his case
In reply he received a letter from
the doctor. giving him laughing advice
to find the original of the picture and
to marry her. ending with sufficient
seriousness to recommend him to
seek out his neighbors and indulge
in human companionship instead OF
lonely imaginings.
Acting on this Recommendation
Jermyn began to cultivate his neigh
bors, among whom he soon made
many friends. More than one of the

turned to Sanity.
Bryanites seem justified in declining
to affiliate with the Parker-C Cleveland
party. While Mr.. Cleveland is not the
Democratic candidate, he is the great
est gun in the party. What he says is
q sure indication of the sentiments of
eastern Democrats-and they are now
firmly in the saddle. Mr.. Cleveland
solemnly rejoices over the defeat of
Organism at st. Louis. When asked
by a correspondent what he thought
Of Judge Parker's gold telegram and
the action of the convention following
its receipt, Mr.. Cleveland rose slowly
and, after a brief silence, said:
1.-THE party's action speaks for itself.
1t has returned to sanity and future
progress along the right lines now is
assured. Yes, it speaks for itself. She
welfare Of the Democratic party is
close to my heart, and it is once more

From his chosen seat among the
catacombs Carl Schurz has dictated q
15,OOO-word letter damning Theodore
Roosevelt for the egotism of his per-
sonality. This is the fifth presidential
campaign in which Mr.. Schurz has as
sailed Republican candidates from the
unscalable heights Of his own colossal
egotism. Other men now and then
have a suspicion that all the rest of
mankind differing from them may be
right. Carl Schurz is troubled
by any such weak mistrust in his own
omniscience.

Whatever evil or menace there may
be in trusts and combinations Of capt.
tai, the people will take notice that the
Republican party is the only one that
has attempted to break up illegal COM
binations Of capital. During the two
administrations that the Democratic
party was In power it did nothing. The
Republicans passed the Sherman anti
trust law, and all the suits under it
have been instituted by Republican
administrations-the railroad injunc.
ton suit, the cotton pool cases, the
beef trust cases and others. The Dem
ocratic party has done nothing but
talk.

There seems to be an impression in
the neighborhood Of the Astor House
that Judge Parker. il elected, would
select his entire cabinet from among
his New York coterie of advisers as
follows:
David 3. Hill.
Perry Belmont.
William f. Sheehan.
Patrick II. McCarren.
Charles r. Murphy.
Cord Meyer.
w. Bourke Cochran.
",rim" Sullivan.
This is as pretty an array Of states
men as ever steered a candidate or
packed a convention, and yet it ap-
pears to be the custodian Of the con
victions and fortunes of the seer OF
Esopus, who is summoned weekly te
New York to receive his Instructions.

Likewise, Parker has heard some
thing about illegal and dishonest
trusts, but he doesn't know that there
is anything to he done about them.
And nobody cares about his ideas OF
that question. He'll never set any
tver afire in his indignation e the
trusts: not ven a river of petroleum
would be ignited by such a match!

Bsseless Charge.

The charge that MI. Roosevelt is ian
unsafe man. is disproved by history.
He wasgovernorof New York for a full
term and has been president three
years. These are the two highest ex-
ecutive posts in the nation. In neither
Of them did he ever do an executive
act that has turned out d~isastrously
for the country? Where does the un-
safeness come in?
The pretended alarm of Democrats
en- this o is really a great compli-
ment to Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is eQuiva-
lent to saying that he is ar energetic
president. We Americans are an ener-
getic people, accustomed to doing
things instead Of sitting down and
dreaming about them, and why should
not we have that kind of a president?
Mr.. Roosevelt's energy is of the
healthy American kind, and it has had
a wholesome effect upon u own peo-
pie and in other countries. A president
who has spent his life doing things is
greatly preferable to II who has
spent his life writing judicial opinions.
