he felt better about it. He sat on the

claim that the sun had any better show

AS he had come running up the
steps on reaching home that evening,
and as he had eaten a hearty O'Clock
dinner, Mrs. BoWser could hardly
reconcile his statements She sighed
and waited for further developments.
And so I think I'll begin in the
morning and take the sunrise cure.

A flush came to Mr.. BoWser's face
as he thought she spoke in sarcasm,
but after a moment he decided that
she was sincere and he fOrgaVe her and
said that he would attend to waking
himself up at half-past three in the
morning. He would try the sunrise
cure for a week, and if It benefited
him he would expect her to walk out
with him thereafter. Things were left
in this shape, and 9 O'Clock saw the
gas turned out and the Bowser family
in bed. Mr.. Bowser hunted up an old
alarm clock and set it, for the hour
he wanted to arise, and he went to
sleep thinking of red suns and dewy
meadows. AT exactly half-past ten
the Russian and japanese fleets came
together with a whir-r-r-r and lifted
him out of bed with the exclamation:

she got her breath.

Watching the Market.


It is quite evident that some persons
are born for a business career. This
is demonstrated in some cases in very
early life. The other day Mrs. Cobb
saw her 1o-year-old son Edward go-
ing out the gate with a neighbor's boy.
'sWhere are you going?" she called
from the window.
Were going down to have our pic
lures taken at the tintype place" an
swered her boy, tossing a ten-cent
piece In the air.
Mrs. Cobb had been wondering what
queer train of thought had awakened
this vain desire when suddenly she
heard once more the click Of the gate.
Looking out, she saw Edward coming
in alone. munching banana.
"Was it too cloudy to have the TIM
type taken ?" she asked
No, ma am.

Mr.. Bowser had been smoking and
reading for half an hour when he be-

and clear his voice. Mrs. Bowser
knew that he had something on his
mind, but she let him turn It over and
over until he got ready to say:

He waited another hve minutes and
then observed:

What is that?"
why you get up and take a walk

west. Two weeks before General
Blackmar, whose home is in Boston,
broke down and was ordered to bis
bed at his summer home in Hlnghanl.
He improved rapidly however, and de-
cided to continue his trip In the West,
which he had begun early in the year.
Upon reaching Idaho he again failed
rapidly to the end.
General Blackmar was born in Brls-
toll, Pa, July %, 1871. While boy
the family moved to Boston. At the
outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted
as private in the Fifteenth Pennsyl-
vania Cavalry, and with his regiment
was at Antietam, Stone River, Chat
tanooga, Chickamauga, Lookout Noun
tain and Missionary Ridge. He was
promoted until as a lieutenant he was
transferred to the First West Virginia
Veteran Cavalry, one of Clusters Ia
nous regiments. 1t was while holding
this position, and while only "a years
OF age, that he performed the act
which made him known as gallant
soldier the county over. Near Five
Forks, April /, 1855, he was ordered to
form a new line at critical stage OF
action, while the men were being
pressed back. He carried out this in
struction and then, without orders,
advanced the line, calling upon the
color bearer to follow. The call was
repeated, the line advanced, the charge
was made and the enemy routed. This
audacious and brave action was wit
messed by Custer, who promoted him
on the field to a captaincy.
General Blackmar remained at thu
front until the close of the war ant
was present at the surrender of Gen
eral Lee at Appomattox. After the
close Of the war he returned to Bos-
ton and later graduated from Harvard
College. For ten years he was advo-
cate general Of Massachusetts. He
was the first commander Of Post 113,
G.. A. r., Of Boston, and was proni-
nent member of the Loyal Legion.
Gen Blackmar was elected Command
er-in-chief Of the G. A r. at the last
National Encampment, held in Boston
in August, 1904.

able to do some hunting on the way

the British connection which had been
put on foot since the great rebellion
in the end Of the previous century.
An Instruction broke out in several
counties in the south Of Ireland on
the night Of March 8, 1867. Mr..
O'Brien at this period was engaged in
business in Cork. He was already ap-
preaching his fortieth year, and
seemed the last man in the world to
be called upon to head a body of
armed men. But when the forces that
were called out to meet at the tryst-
ing place there was no leader Of those
who had been expected to take COM
mand, and O'Brien spontaneously and
promptly took up the vacant place,
and put himself at the head Of the
headless force Then they started out
on their expedition, and first made fer
hood. There was brisk skirmish at
one Of these barracks, and ultimately
the police agreed to surrender, and
O'Brien himself brought the ladder to
the wall of the barrack for the pris-
oners to come forth. The humanity
with which he treated the conquered
policemen was remembered In
O'Brien's favor afterwards. His tri-
umhp was short-lived: the soldiers
came up, and O'Brien was arrested
and transmitted to gaol. In due time
came a series of State trials, and
O'Brien was convicted Of treason and
sentenced to be hanged, drawn and
quartered. The sentence was, how
ever, committed to one Of penal servi-
tude for life, and he spent several
years in the convict gaols Of England.
When an amnesty came he was re-
leased and returned to business, and
likewise to revolutionary propaganda.
He was a member Of the governing
body Of the Fenian organigat ton. Sub
sequently, when Parnell started the
Land League, Mr.. OBrien's views un-
derwent some modification, and in
1885, when the reduction Of the fran
chise in Ireland gave Mr.. Parnell his
first chance Of electing large party,
O'Brien stood for a divisioa of Mayo
and was elected. At q later date he
became bitter opponent of the Par
nell faction Of the Irish party.

The disagreement between Norway
and Sweden eliminated in June, when
Norway seeded from the union. Not
often has the world witnessed the
spectacle of a nation resolving peace
ably, and with the best of feeling to-
ward its sovereign, that 1t will no
longer recognize him as its titular
ruler. Norway coupled its declaration
of independence Of King Oscar with
a request to the king to name prince
Of his own family as his successor.
That request was denied, and King
Oscar protested against the breach Of
the union with Sweden. By the terms
of the union between the two eoun-
tries, each retained its own body of
organic law. The administrative mat
tiers which concerned both countries
were embodied in separate docu-
ment, which made no reference to tho
question Of foreign consuls, the rock
OH which the government has split.
On the other hand, the Norwegian
Grundlov, or constitution, which, pre-
vious to the union, the Swedish king
swore to uphold, did cover that matter.
For a long time the same consuls rep
resented both nations in foreign coun-
tries, and the same condition might
still exist had not difference Of fiscal
policies arisen between Norway and
Sweden. The one is an advocate, prac-
tically, Of free trade, the other main
tains a protective tariff. It came
about, therefore, at any rate, SO Nor
way commended, that consul repre-
senting both countries found It hard
to do justice to one without doing in
Justice to the other. Efforts, since
1891, to secure separate consular ser
vice having failed, the Norwegian
Storthing dissolved the union. The
chief foreign interest in the event
arises from its bearing upon the future
of Norway in its relation to Russia,
which has long been supposed to cast
covetous eye upon the narrow strip
Of land in northern Norway, which IS
all that separates the Cars domains
from the Atlantic Ocean. The tnabil-
ity of Russia to secure an open port
OH the Pacific is generally supposed to
make that country all the more eager
to obtain one on the Atlantic.

There is one class of children who
do not attend the public schools be
yond the grammar school grades; an
other goes through the high school,
and a small number go from the high
school to college. 1t would, of course,
be desirable to give each one of these
classes a course of study modified ac-
cording to the length of time he will
attend school, But as there is no way
of ascertaining how long a pupil is
to continue in school there is nothing
that can be done except to fix the cur
riculum with view to the greatest
good TO the greatest number. and in
doing this especial consideration
should be paid to the poorest class,
which can do least for itself. The
error in theory which is made by the
educational theorists is that the
schools undertake to send the output
fully educated and equipped. In point
Of fact, the only aim Of the public
schools should be to equip the chill
dren with certain essential elementary
knowledge and to train their minds
SO that they can think and reason and
continue their educa ton after they
leave school.
