ing the prosecution of Morton's old
road for evil practices such as the
administration was in the act of try
ing to reach by law there occurred a
long conference between the president
and the new secretary. 1t is under
stood that Morton offered to resign,
and at the same time explained fully
what he had done and why he had
done it. The president assured him
that he was satisfied, and declined to
accept his resigna ton.
AS head of the navy department,
Secretary Morton has applied himself
industriously to mastering the intri-
cate business of building warships
and managing them and their per-
sonnet. He has appeared before the
committees of congress, uring liberal
appropriations for larger navy, and
has shown himself well posted on the
affairs of his department.
Secretary Morton is AS years of
age and youthful in appearance.

some bills are to be killed and some

that circumstances had not forced
them to so register themselves. One
member of the lower house has not
introduced a bill at this session, and
says that he is glad to be free and in
position to attack any measure he
feels it his duty to attack. 1t is
situation from which no legislature
can be free. 1t takes a pretty long
head these days to be a successful
manipulation Of measures. 1t is a
pretty straight and narrow path
which Mr.. Legislator must tread If
he does no injury to that particular
measure for the passage of which he
pledged his people.

aInass the Eealth which is now his;
at that time Jaques Leseuer had but
Est crossed the American border from
Quebec and was beginning to thrive in
he lumber business; at that time Ma
hs MERCER, daughter of poor French
canadian parents, was one of the BEAU
ties of the district around st. Johns
bury. and among her admirers were
Milo Green and Leseuer.
Green had lived a hard life. Born up
in the northern hills Of Vermont, of
poor parents. he had had to fight for a
little education, and had succeeded. He
was a reserved, cold, silent man-as
%forbidding and cold to most people as
his native hills in winter. but to Marie
MERCER all the warmth that was in
his nature was turned.
Wealth was beginning to come to
MIN then. and the little, black-haired,
black-eyed girl perhaps was flattered at
the silent, unasking alteration Of the
man who was so hard to others. She
could turn him with a smile. or draw
him from his Office or his work with
& nod. and she knew it. In those Le-
suer was a strong, handsome, young
man, given to drinking and gayeties,
Green Tilted by the Girl.
There never was any promise, so far
as men knew, from Marie MERCER to
Green, but every one supposed sne
would marry him for his money-if not
foi himself; and some thought perhaps
she would love him because he was so
opposite. There was surprise, there
fore, when she was married TO Jacques
Lesener.
If his heart was broken Gleen failed
10 show it. He was a little more silent,
q little harder. a little colder, and he
got rich a little faster-that was all.
For five years he continued to live in
81. Johnsbury; then he sold his grow
ing business to a combine, and, with
ont a word of explanation, retired to a
farm he mad bought near Peacham, in
the hills. He put his money into mort
cages, stocks and bonds. and simply
dropped back to live the life of a rich
r~ecluse.
Misfortunes in Abundance.
Things went badly with the Leseuers
from the first. A boy was born-~Emil,
and three years later he died. Then
business went rapidly to the bad. Le-
sener drank heavily. His wife stood by
him bravely, ever after he was forced
10 leave ST. %Johnsbury and seek work
day labor-at Guildhall. What the
little woman suffered in the first ten
years Of her married life she alone
knows. Her beauty changed-but she
still was beautiful. Trouble and hard
work could not change everything. and
her eyes we're just as flashing and her
hair as black as ever. The husband
still drank hard. but for a time she
thought she had won the victory. He
quit drinking, settled down to work,
md there were three years Of compare
tive happiness. Then Claire came, and
the mothers heart hungering for years
zor her lost how was satisfied.

and deliberately trimmed. The waved
brims of many chapeauX also mount
up to a considerable distance, but the
outside trimming of such hats is neces-
sarily slight. Almost everything is
massed underneath, at the left side
only or straight across the back as far
as the ears. Those trimmed at the
left naturally tilt over TO right, Civ
ing the hat the look of being posed
rather than giddily at the side Of the
head. The straight back trimming
necessitates a Straight dip over the
forehead. so it happens that many hats
turned up at the back in the old way
are seen.
The understandings achieve the
becomingness which the tossed-up
brims and tiny shapes might imperil
though as to that many of these hats
are small only in circumference, for
the big crowns made by the bands fit
the head comfortably, and a number
of the futed brims &C up to vast
heights.

Profits of the Packers.

There has been a great deal of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent. of the volume OF
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the IN that
the packing industry is conducted on
\ smaller margin Of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
ross margin of profit of S71 -four and
Frist mills in Illinois, in the census
gear, was nearly seven per cent. on the
volume Of business. The gross margin
OF fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing establishments in Hi
nois was only about one-third as large,
or a little more than two per cent. on
the volume of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being in a trust" and combina-
tons would seem impossible in a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade, but it ap-
pears that the gross profits of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits of
the packers. 1t may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: "All

GIFTS FOR GRADUATE.
Appropriate and Generally Pleasing
Gifts for the Girl About to Re-
ceive Her Diploma.

The list of small ornamental articles
that are suitable for such presents is
almost unlimited. Chains of silver or
coral, or beautifully eolored beads for
ornament only or for use in carrying
fans; stick pins, hat pins, cuff links and
the innumerahle silver trinkets. For
practical use there are thimbles, most
appropriate for girls who are about to
take up domestic accomplishments. sill
yer scissors and anyfor all articles nee
essarry to a well-ftted out w~orkbasket.
Quite as useful and appropriate for
any girl. but particularly for one who
is obliged to count her pennies with
some care, are dainty articles of wear
ing apparel; a pair of silk stockings or
g corset cover of some sheer material or
a,pair of embroidered linen collars and
cuffs or one of the most elaborate chem
isettes so much worn now, 1t is these
smaller accessories that add so much
to ones appearance and comfort and
yet that seem almost like Injuries to
some girls. Even the apparently neces-
sary articles will be most acceptable
when OF a finer material or a more ex-
pensive quality than the girl herself is
able to buy.
There are always the so-called for
sillia.c girls, however, who have, so far
as one can tell, everything that they
want; at least, everything that money
can buy. and to these girls the conven-
tional flowers and candy must still con-
tinue to go in place Of the thimbles and
belts and stockings that some of their
classmates are happy to have. But in
addition 10 the flowers and candy there
are always books. Books of so many
sizes and prices and editions and quail
ity, both literary and commercial, suit
ed to poor girls and rich ones alike. that
if, for any reason, one is at a loss to
know what to send for a graduating
present, it Is perfectly safe to spend d
few moments in consideration of the
character and general tastes of the girl,
as much money as is desired, and the
present will invariably be both appro-
pirate and acceptable.
