Good Work of the Kicker.

Secretary Bonaparte pays little
tribute to the "kicker," as he calls
him. A few years ago this would
have been necessarily defense, but
the kicker has got beyond the need
of defending. AS the secretary says,
it is recognized that "the kicker is
the only means by which an American
party is kept in order" The kicker
performs the same function in the
party that on occasion the party itself
performs in government. He repre-
sents the opposition; he embodies the
spirit of examination and criticism
He is justified by the current spirit
of revolt, which has concluded that
this business of travelling with the
crowd has been overdone. People
nowadays like to flavor the stew with
their own individuality.-New York
Mail.

A Students Home in Paris.

Latterly, the studio had been turn.
ed from its original purpose and made
into delightfully."- impractical home
for students like ourselves.
The interior was one room with a
closet for the sink and running water
Across the end opposite the door
hung an inside balcony so irresistible
that we engaged the studio on sight
of 1t. The furnishings of the room
consisted Of a large table and three
common chairs. In one corner a dis.
couraged-looking little stove, like a
mustard pot in shape. stood at the
end OF yards and yards of unromantic
stovepipe. This rusty cylinder fol.
lowed the outline of the room, up the
wall, along the roof to the apex, then
through an opening, strayed outdoors,
where, at last, ii became a thing OF
reauty robed in trailing vines, An
old easel served as hatrack and UNI
hrella stand. with peg near the stove
reserved as the proper place on which
to hang the coffee pot to dry.
A short flight of steps led directly
from the room to the balcony. This
was broad enough for the two sleep
ing couches and narrow passage In
front. An artistic railing ran across
the balcony and down either side o.
the steps that, Oh company occasions
served for seats. Under the balcony
models stand had been left.-Caro

barrel seems to be about as danger
Gus after it is emptled as when it is

accidents of the sort are reported in
the last week. j. H. Dent, living near
Saltwater, took an empty whisky bar
rel to his home and lit match to
look into it, Mr.. Dent and his son
Lester, were both badly bruised in
the explosion which followed On the
same day a Mr. Brown, living north
of Woodward, received a bad scalp
wound in a similar manner. it is
perhaps noteworthy that both acct
dents happened on Sunday.

"The same immutable silence, the
same steadfast gaze"

two girls who were going my way up
town, though of course l didn't drop
word to them, about my new
friend. AS walked out with
them, there close by the door
stood my mysterious admirer. fault
lessly attired in evening dress,
looking in every particular gentle
man. Not word; not move; not
the slightest attempt to attract my at
tention. He seemed content to simply
devour me with his eyes.
"The following evening found him
at the stage door like a sentinel on
watch. AS passed BY was alone
this time, for | had forgotten all about
him during the day-still no word;
but he watched me go in as though
his eyes could not rest on me long
enough. More roses with a note sim
ply saying that he would be In the
same seat as on the evening previous.
/ went through my part with strange
burden weighing on my spirits. The
gaze of whole audience seemed to
me to have concentrated in that one
pair of eyes. After the performance
he stood at the stage entrance as be-
fore with the same statue-like lmmov-
ability, the same immutable silence,
the same steadfast gaze"
But why did you not manage to get
an introduction?"
But there was George, my dear"
But you liked him?"
81 will not say"
After a pause I inquired: You
surely made some inquiries about
him?"
"Oh, yes. Through friend learned
his name, that he was wealthy, of high
social standing, and of irreproachable
character. Why he should have been
so attracted to me is one of those
things that we can't analyze He was
said to be rather odd. Well, | finally
awoke to my responsibilities, and sum-
moned the courage to do what should
have done at the beginning. My mar
riage to George was made known to
him. The result was quite contrary
to my expectations. Knowing him to
be somewhat a man of the world, i
had presumed that he would awake
from his dream and take a cynical
view of the affair; and there comes
the sad part of it all"
At this point fancied that saw a
! tremor sweep over her, but at the time
| felt half inclined to attribute it to
the iouncing of the carriage. In a
moment she resumed her narrative,
but with a slower and more mellowed
| tone.
I'm a sort of desperation he seemed
| suddenly bent upon running himself
as quickly as possible. Excessive
drinking and gambling drew him rap
idly from his high position to poverty
and disgrace. He repulsed all his
| friends efforts to help him, racked
my brains to discover an honorable
means Of assisting him, but in vain
Many time appealed to George, but
he through, think, secret Jealousy
claimed that all effort was both use
less and uncalled-for. Until to-day
haven't seen him for months, and hat
hoped that he had at last succumbet
to friendly persuasion"
But does not his strange behavio
of this afternoon indicate insanity
mo; from what know of him
think not. More probably a desperate
passion released of the bonds OF pre-
priety by his degraded condition. Mel
