Lena was the first person Rufus Wis

awaited his coming.
"You thought you were stealing
Dick from Kate, and I thought / was

bluntly. I'VE were both fooled. No

gal, because the license was made out
for Kate, and you responded in her
name. If it's annulled, it can't be
done without more or less publicity.
There's but one way to make it

under right names this time. We

us. SO we might as well tSke second"

The TWO Ships.

As stand by the cross on the lone
mountains crest.
Looking over the ultimate sea;
In the gloom of the mountain a ship lies
at rest.
And one sails away from the lea;
One spreads its white wings far
reaching track,
With pennant and sheet flowing free:
One hides in The shadow with sails laid
aback-
The ship that is waiting for me.
But 10, in the distance the clouds break
away.
The Gates glowing portals I see:
And I have from the outgoing ship in the

The song of the sailors in glee.

The comfort DER dark Galilee.
And I wait for the signal to go to the

To the ship that is waiting for me.

NEW IDEAS IN AUSTRALIA.
Writer Describes British Colony as
Political Hothouse.

Sunny Australia is best described
as political dollhouse, writes Burriss
Gahan in the Booklovers' Magazine.
Beneath the glass of extreme democ-
racy twenty varieties of state social
ism are budding, and a dozen more
have reached their full bloom here a
generation or two before their due
time in other parts of the world.
In Australia, indeed, they have abol-
ished plural voting, and have freely
given the suffrage to all women. They
have established graduated income
and progressive land taxes. Their
great land difficulty is being met by
such heroic means as the compulsory
repurchase of large estates for closer
settlement, and by state loans on farm
used to decide the greatest question
that has yet arisen in Australian his
tory. Laws have been passed for the
minimum wage, the eight-hour day,
early closing of shops, day labor on
government contracts and the inSpec-
ton of factories, shops and mines.
Old-age pensions have been estab-
lished in three of the colonies, and
the commonwealth parliament is bent
on a federal scheme. The exclusion
of alien and undesirable immigrants
is enforced so rigidly that even Brit
ish workmen who come under CON

Fearful Enoines of Destruction.

Hand grenades and bombs were
used with terrific effect at the capture
of the 203-Meter hill, Port Arthur.
Their use was contrary to the spirit
of the international rule which for
bids the cruelty of the dum-dum bull
lets. Certain other engines of war
have been rejected by civilized ma
tions, however, in times gone by, be-
cause they were too destructive and
too horrible. England has still in
keeping a secret war plan of the
tenth earl of Dundonald which the
authorities rejected because, while it
was infallible, it was too inhuman to
use by man against man. Even Louis
XIV. of France had backbone enough
to refuse Dupre's terrible invention.
If the story of this discovery be true.
the plan was to create by a secret
process a conf1agration whose inten-
sity was but increased by water. 1t
would burn town or fleet. Louis re-
fused to have the secret published and
it went down to the grave with Dupre.

Rufus WinSlOw was the fac smile
of his twin brother Dick in face and

and when in the presence of the lat

tickle fancy wavered like a weather
cock until one day after witnessing
Rufus conquer an manageable horse,
she flew in fear to the willing, open
arms of Dick. When Rufus heard of
their engagement he became gloomy
and morose and swore to himself that
he would still WOO and win Kate.

Kate. frowned upon the attachment
and forbade Dick the house. To COM

bought within a week had lost their
shape. when a man, or woman eth

walking in the snow gets home with
damp shoes almost the first thought
is to dry them as quickly as pos
sible- They are put under the stove
or on the steam radiator. One GUS
toner told me his wife dried his
shoes in the oven. This is folly.
IF wet shoes are dried too quickly
the leather will shrink and rot, no
matter how expensive the make In

be dried slowly and given a rest. If

lets one pair stay on the trees when

Preparations are being made to con-
test the will of Charles Lockhart, and
unless a compromise is reached by
which Mrs. William S. Flower re
ceives $5,0O0,000 the action will be
started in the Allegheny (Pa-) courts.
1t was reported that other heirs had
agreed to give her an equal share in
the estate. revised estimates of which
place its value in the neighborhood of
$780, 100000 This, however, is de-
MED.
On the basis of an equal division,
as provided for in the will, each son
or daughter, with the exception of
Mrs Flower, will receive around $685.
100000. Owing to the enormous
amount involved, the Flower family
has offers from attorneys in Pittsburg,
New York, and Philadelphia to con-
test the will on a commission basis.
Notwithstanding the possibility of a
compromise, Mrs. Flowers attorneys
have been directed to prepare the
preliminary papers, to be filed in Or
phans' court.
There is no provision whatever for
the children of Mrs. Flower, who will
