Case of Substitution.

A prominent Tammany politician

domestic virtues. Among her other

evening recently she had finished
setting the batch of dough to rise
in the kitchen and was resting her.

BIG FAMILIES The EEST.

Father Beck of the IIolton Re-
torder has lined up on the side of
President Roosevelt in the big fami-
y controversy and raises a new
point to justify his position. IF
the opposition will investigate the
matter just little it will find that
nine out Of ten of the great men
and women of this country have
been members Of large families. And
il it will carry the investigation a
little farther it will discover that, as
a rule, where there are only one or
two children in the family they be-
come spoiled and selfish and seldom
amount to much. The more educa-
ton YOU give spoiled, selfish boy
the worse YOU make him, unless he
can in some way overcome his self
ishncss. We will leave it to any Of
our observing, intelligent readers if
among their acquaintanceS the best
boys and girls are not, d, d rule, the
members of large families. Kan

She was silent for a moment and
then added dreamily:
If ever marry it will be with a
man TO whom | can give my whole
confidence, some one whose COM
panion | will be both glad and proud
TO become and who will be gentle
and kind with me-"
Bernard looked at her. He had
never seen her in this mood before.
She had always fouted him when
ever he had tried TO be serious.
"What a brute you must think
me, Mad" he murmured contritely.
GLOW could | ever have been such
an ass as to scold you?"
Madeline moved her hands in
pretty gesture of denial, and her
eyes spoke eloquently. Bernard
looked at her, scarce daring to hope.
Behind the blue eyes lay love too
strong to be denied, and the young
man seized both the white hands in
his. just then a deep voice cx-
claimed above them:
'Scems to me that for two enc
mics YOU are not doing a killing

anything from the company and that
the charge is based on an exchange of
oh htcks which took place between him
and the asphalt companys manager
when he was leaving Venezuela. Ow-
ing to the high rates of exchange due
to unsettled conditions in Venezuela it
is difficult to get Venezuelan money

zuelan money he bad in Il bank turned
into American legal tender he eX
changed checks at the posted United

check equivalent to that which he re
ceiycd. Secretary Taft of the war de
partmcnt is investigating the matter.
MI LoOmiS was born in Marietta, O.,
in 1861 and in 1888 was graduated
from Marietta college. For several
years he was on the staff of New
York daily paper President Harri
son made him consul at st. Etienne,
France, and while there he wrote re-
ports on commercial conditions which
attracted much attention. On his re-
turn from France in 1893 he became
editor in chief of the Cincinnati Com

To realize the age of Manuel Gar

Born Enemies"
And a Token of
Eternal Surrender

Dinner was Just over at the mess
room Of the young officers of the
White hussars, stationed outside of
Pontiyy, and a group of gay fellows
stood Idly lounging on the beautiful
terrace that overlooked the city.
Suddenly Lieutenant Kirby turn
cd to one Of the men behind him
and, selling his arm, cried mischiey-
ously:
Its no use, old man, We all
know about it, so You might as well
confess!'
The officer to whom he had spo-
ken looked up in astonishment, He
was a singularly handsome fellow,
with honest blue eyes and proud
bearing.
"What in thunder are you talking
about r he demanded amjabIy.
Don't look so surprised" replied
the other. Every one here knows
that you are engaged to Miss Kitty
Darass.'
"Thcy know more than | do,
then" was the calm reply. Because

her the other night at Lady Ashes
and because have been seen riding
with her and her brother it follows,
forsooth, that | am engaged to the
lady! 1t is just what you might ex-
pect in little garrison town
Lieutenant Kirby listened with an
incrcdulous smile.
"Ihat's all very WELL" he said,
"but if had been i'll your place |
should have looked nearer home.
Colonel Gregory loves YOU like a
son. and Miss Madeline is "a most
bewitching young lady. But Bobby
Erskine is the favored mortal at
present, lucky dog"
This time his words produced a
distinct effect.
"Ershine and Madeline - little
Mad. Why, she is only child"
THAT shows all you know about
it." said Kirby teasingIy. "Chlldren
have way of growing up and be-
coming fascinating young ladies"
Bernard Worthington did not re-
ply. He had received shock, and 1t
was not long before he made some
excuse and hastily quilted the com
pany of his fellow officers.

Bernard walked rapidly in the di.

curtains were not yet drawn ahc

At last, with the dawn and an
early ride through the cool country,
the lieutenant succeeded in getting
some order in the confused chaos of
his ideas. Promptly at 10 o'clock
he made his way once more to the
