Seated in front of the table sat Cyrus. his wizened

about her neck, adding finishing touch to her

Why, that's a ph-ph-phebe

of her misery.

Presently-Cynthy did not know
how it happened-he had her IN
his arms and she was stammering
out her story. She did not spare
a jot or title of her infamy; she
wondered why Mr.. Dennison
coughed SO much though, and why
his shoulders kept shaking.
And so Isabel Muree had no
clothes?" he said soberly, when
Cynthy had done.
She shook her head and waited
for his awful sentence.
We'll, if man gave me baby,
and didn't have the politeness to
send any clothes on it, I'd be
tempted never to speak to him

Cynthy's round blue eyes stared
"Why-why, you didn't remember
babies wore clothes, did you?" she
said gently.
Il did know it, butt guess I'd
forgotten: bachelors forget some
times"
He got out his pipe and began
to smoke. Presently he said slowly;
Cynthia Turn, you did a very
wrong thing to steal those clothes"
Cynthy nodded abjectly. But it
was almost entirely my fault. I'm

Imperturable Knox.

Acknowledgement Knox, during the
last days of the session of Congress,
transmitted to the House his reply to
the resolution OF inquiry by Williams,
of Mississippi, with reference to crimi-
nal prosecution OF the trusts, under
the decision of the Supreme Court sus-
tanning the Sherman law. To that
question he replied specifically, if not
insolently, that "No criminal prose.
cutions have been instituted against
the persons referred to in the resolu-
ton, and that further than this l do
not deem it compatible with the public
interest to comply with the resolu-
tion." There you have it, fright in
the neck" as the hooddlum says,
which revives the Hanna-like inquiry,
" What are you going to do about itY"
In answer to another resolution OF
inquiry, asking what steps had been
taken with reference to charge made
OF conspiracy in violation OF the anti.
trust act of 1890, he replied that, if
such a combination exists it has been
adroitly concealed, and that several
witnesses had refused to produce pa
pers and answer questions. It was de-
cided, he further admits, that on ap.
peal, the United States Supreme Court
had sustained the right of the Commits.
sion to compel production OF testimo.
ny, which would enable it to lay before
the Department OF Justice all the
available information in relation to
the alleged combination. This ad-
mission is. however, CURLY supple.
mented with the statement that he,
the head of the Department, did not
deem it compatible with the public
interest to comply with the resolution,
or in other words, to state what
grounds there were for running
amuck" the business interests of the
country.
There you are. "Stand pat" is the
watch word OF those placed on picket
duty, and Congress is told to mind its
own affairs when . plain statement Of
facts is demanded on which to base
the action of coordinate branch of

VERIFY, We LIVE IN AN AGE OF
PRoGEss.-An amt Spooning So.
ciety" is the last creation OF the wo.
men OF Cornell University. If Col.
lege man calls at the dormatory where
the co-eds live, the girl he asks for is
fined 20 cents, and the fine is doubled
if he is permitted to see her. II she
entertains him in conversation, which
they call spooning," the fine amounts
to one dollar, and double that sum il
she permits him to kiss her. OF course
the girls do rot pay the penalty. The
matter then is, however, not at all plain
to outsiders. Kisses vary in value
from the plain ones, which may be
properly rated at two dollars, to the
" Ada Rehan" variety, which may run
up into hundreds of dollars and some.
times thousands, the limit being only
gagged by the ability to pay. as has
been shown by claims filed for broken
promises said to 60 with the delectable
privilege. For walks in the campus OF
drives in the country, the schedule
price is placed at one dollar, which is
inconsistent, to say the least, for one
OF the first rules of mathematics
teachs that the whole includes all the
parts.

The New City to the Northward.

In an interview with one OF the pro-
motors of the new TOWNSHIP at Dofile-
myer Point, we gather some state
ments which are made from a presum-
ably authoritative source.
The town is expected to develop
into a city by all the rapid-growth
methods which capital imparts to
first-class resources. The first essen
tial of protected harbor with ample
water and good anchorage is assured.
1t will have fire. limits at the outset,
within which wooden buildings will
not be allowed. Sewer, water and
light systems will be developed as "a.
pidly as the work can be done. Water
will be supplied from Summit Lake,
and engineers are now at work to de-
termine the best line, or route, to lay
the mains, and as soon as the course
has been established, and the right OF
way obtained, placing the pipes will
begin. Our informant states that the
plan embraces likewise a supply of
water for Olympia, but that we think
is impractical with the present excel
lent system and nearly a hundred
artesian wells in competition.
1t is likewise proposed to connect
the new town with this city by an
electric railway, and work on it will
be commenced soon as the right of
way has been secured.
So far as we can ascertain, the new
project has no connection with any
railroad plans which can hamper or
control its growth. That it will be on
the line of one or more transcontinen-
tai trunk lines is, however, deemed
quite certain. The surveys of the
Northern Pacific, last season, to secure
a better grade for heavy trains, places
it in the front line of preferment as
the dumping ground for rail and ocean
traffic. 1t is claimed that there is
ample capital back of the enterprise
to deliver the goods soon after the
cloth is cut. One pleasing assurance
can, therefore, be made, and that is
all doubt OF the Inauguration of the
enterprise, on these lines, will soon be
determined, and nobody is asked to
risk a cent or worry over the possibil-
tiles involved.

Strength Of Inherent Justice.

With all the power of wealth ar
rayed against William J. Bryan, the
Democratic nominee, in 1896; with a
sixteen million dollar corruption fund
against him; with all the so called
better classes bent upon securing his
defeat, let il be remembered that a
change of twenty thousand votes in
certain States would have elected him
President and defeated Mckinley. 1t
was as much on the issue OF bimetal-
lism as the sterling character OF the
standard-bearer, that half the voters of
the United States stood by candidate
and platform against such seemingly
insurmountable odds. And the ex-
ceedingly small margin that carried
success to the Republican party was
secured by the treachery of men who
had time and again profited by the
support Of the Democratic party.
Is it to be expected for moment
that the six and half million OF free
men who supported the Democratic
nominees and platform in 1896 and
1900 will allow party RECONSTRUCT
tion," with barely $4,000 boilers, to
lead now! If principle is the object
of contention, has it ever been s:.tject
to more earnest appeal than when it
is proposed to deliberately stultify past
record and yield the leading object for
which the party now contends-the
placing OF corporate power under pro-
per management and restraint?
II there has been anything demon
strated beyond question, by exper-
fence, it is that the human heart is
intensely selfish, and that greed grows
upon opportunity Tor ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
The millionaire is not satisfied with
the possession of more wealth than
should be owned by any individual.
1t becomes but stepping. stone to
higher requirements; it but whets his
desire for greater achievements, and
his heart becomes callous and sordid
in the insane scramble for more. This
is the misfortune of acquisition Of
wealth. 1t leads to neglect if not in
vasion OF the rights of others, and to a
scramble for what is not needed which
is in exact proportion to the grea'
need of others.
That is the secret of the combina-
ton which rolled up the million of
votes for the doughty champion of the
masses from Nebraska. 1t demon.
strated that combination cemented
by dire necessity was, for the nonce,
equal to the cohesive power OF public
plumber. The conditions to produce
such result still exists, for while
millionaires are piling up their wealth,
the necessities of life are becoming
more difficult to obtain by the wage
Garner by combinations OF capital !;
and all branches OF trade seem to have
caught the same spirit. The election
of another Republican President can
but widen the breach between capital
and labor, and as the fight must con-
tinue in some form. it will happily be
with an organization as perfect as the
Democratic party.
