Of individuality which marked him.
They were of different cut from those
of other men, and in this as in many
other ways he was a law to himself;
notably so in the following instance:
He kept one day Of the year religiously,
and kept it always in the same way.
Long years before he had been blessed
with wife who both understood and
loved him. He had never forgotten
this fact, and once year, presumably
on the anniversary Of her death, it was
his custom to go to the cemetery where
she lay and to spend the whole day
under the shadow of the stone he had
raised to her memory. No matter what
the weather, no matter what the condi-
ton of his own health, he was always
to be seen in this spot, at the hour of
Z, leaning against the shaft on which
the name of his wife was written, eat
ing his supper in the company of his
dog.

AN forded me that night for study
ing the three leading charac-
tiers in the remarkable drama
l saw unfolding before me. A task
was assigned me by the captain which
took me from the house, and l missed
the next scene-the arrival of the COR
oner. But repaid myself for this loss
in way thought justified by the inn
portance of my own theory and the evil
dent necessity there was of collecting
each and every point of evidence which
could give coloring to the charge, in the
event of this crime coming to be looked
on at headquarters as one of murder
Observing that light was still burn
ing in Uncle Dayids domicile, 1 crossed
to his door and rang the bell. 1 was
answered by the deep and prolonged
howl of dog, soon cut short by his
masters amiable greeting. This latter
was a surprise to me. l had heard so
often of Mr.. Moore's churlishness as a
host that had expected some rebuff.
But encountered no such tokens of
hostility. His brow was smooth and his
smile cheerfully condescending In
deed, he appeared anxious to have me
enter, and cast an indulgent look at
Ridge whose irrepressible joy at this
break in the monotony of his existence
was tinged with very evident dread
Of offending his master. Interested
anew, followed this man of contra
dictory impulses into the room toward
which he led me.
The time has now come for a more
careful description of this peculiar
man. Mr. Moore was tall and of that
refined spareness of shape which sug-
gests the scholar. Yet he had not the
scholars eye On the contrary, his re-
gard was quick, if not alert, and while
it did not convey actual malice or i'll
will it reused in the spectator an I'M
comfortable feeling not altogether
easy to analyZe. He wore his iron
gray locks quite long, and to this dis
tinguishing idiosyncrasy, as well as to
his invariable custom of taking his
dog with him wherever he went, was
due the interest always shown in him
by street urehins. On account of his
whimsicalities he had acquired the cpl
tibet of Uncle David among them, de-
spite his aristocratic connections and
j his gentlemanlike bearing. His clothes
formed no exception to the general air

An extremely interesting and in
structive prize contest is being
conducted by that metropolitan pa
per, The Evening Wisconsin. On
Feb. ID they started to run a series OF
pictures for ffty-eight days represent
ing some we'll known proverb or
saying, sayings that we use every
day. All there is to do Is to buy an
Evening Wisconsin and to write the
answers in the space beneath each
picture, to be turned in at the end OF
the contest.
The first picture looks easy and we
are going to try and win that $3.50
automobile or 5000 piano, but if these
get away from us we may get one OF
the seventy-six other prizes. You
had better try what you can do. They

pictures. Address The Evening Wis

OF 10y In many heart and open up a
wide place for brotherliness. How
much better would one understand an
other If he knew how to put himself
heartily in that others place. and how
much more pleasure there would be In
life!
| have spoken too fully elsewhere
Of systematizing amusements for the
young to return to 1t here in detail, but
/ wish to say In substance what can
not be too often repeated If you wish
youth to be moral do not neglect its
pleasures or leave to chance the task
of providing them. You will perhaps
say that young people do not like to
have their amusements submitted to
regulations and that, besides, In our
day they are already overspoiled and
divert themselves only too much. l
shall reply, first, that one may suggest
ideas, indicate directions, offer oppor-
tunities for amusement without max
Ing any regulations whatever. In the
gecond place, shall make you see that
you deceive yourselves in thinking
youth has too much diversion. Aside
from amusements that are artificial,
enervating and immoral, that blight
life instead Of making it bloom in
spIendor, there are very few left today.
Abuse, that enemy Of legitimate use,
has so befouled the world that it is be-
coming difficult to touch anything but
what is unclean; whence watchfulness,
warnings and endless prohibitions. One
can hardly stir without encountering
something that resembles unhealthy
pleasure. Among young people of to-
day, particularly the self respecting,
the dearth Of amusements causes real
suffering. One is not weaned from this

generous wine without discomfort. I'm
possible to prolong this state of affairs
without deepening the shadow round
the heads OF the younger generations.
We must come to their aid. Our chill
dren are heirs of a toyless world. We
bequeath them cares, hard questions,
q life heavy with shackles and COM
plexities. Let us at least make an eff
fort to brighten the morning of their
days; let us interest ourselves in their
sports. find them pleasure grounds,
open to them our hearts and our homes;
let us bring the family into our amuse-
ments; let gayety cease to be COM
modify of export; let us call in our
sons, whom our gloomy interiors send
out into the street, and our daughters,
moping in dismal solitude; let us null
tiply anniversaries, family parties and
excursions; let us raise good humor in
our homes to the height of an institu-
tlon let the schools, too, do their part;
let masters and students - schoolboys
and college boys-meet together often
err for amusement. 1t will be so much
the better for serious work. There Is
no such aid to understanding ones pro-
fessor as to have laughed in his COM
pany, and, conversely, to be well I'M
derstood a pupil must be met elsewhere
than in class or examination.
And who viii furnish the money?
What question: That is exactly the
error. Pleasure and money-people
take them for the two wings of the
same bird! A gross illusion! Pleasure,
like all other truly precious things in
this world, cannot be bought or sold.
If you wish to be amused you must do
your part toward it. That IS the es-
sentiaI. There Is no prohibition against
opening your purse, If you can do 1t
and find 1t desirable, but l assure you
it is not indispensable. Pleasure and
simplicity are two old acquaintance.
Entertain simply, meet your friends
simply. If you come from work well
done, are as amiable and genuine as
possible toward your companions and
speak no evil of the absent, your sue
cess Is sure.

TIE LAW OF THE LAND.

Anent the controversy over the
treaty making power, which has sud
denly arisen between the president and
Senate, Former Attorney General
Wayne Mac Veagh, than whom there
Is no higher authority, says;
1.-THE language OF our Constitution
framed by the wisdom Of our fathers,
Is exceptionally plain and imperative
aa TO the treaty making power. 1t re.
quires rs a condition precedent to the
making OF any treaty and every
agreement between this country and
any foreign power should be called a
treaty, because the Constitution Sc
calls it-that II shall be submitted tC
the Senate and that two thirds Of the
Senators present concur In tho wis
dom OF making IL Their concurrence
makes IL part OF the supreme law OF
the land. 1t IL conceivable that IN
view of such provisions u President
alone can make any action OF his part
of the supreme law OF the landY II
so, our supreme law would be subject
to the caprice Of every successor OF
President Roosevelt aud the wise mer
men who framed the constitution knew
II would be unsafe to trust the law
making power to any one man.
" The language OF the Supreme
Court on the subject Is very emphatic
ms follows; 1T mood hardly be said
that treaty cannot change tho Con
stitution or be held valid II In viola.

from the nature and Fundamental
principles Of our government y

Soon after taking Office ms prcsi'
