Margaret's eyes flashed dangerously.
fBut," he continued, seeing her dis
pleasure and endeavoring to control his
voice so that it would sound less harsh
and discordant, 81 know that these are
errors of education learned from the
goddess in that DEVILS nest where thou
in all innocence vast sent by thy
father, and that with the firm and low

come these ways tending TO do thee
evil. Margaret, canst thou not see
what is for thy good? Give me mine

He came toward her with outstretch-
with thee"
Margaret, who had grown very white,
drew away from him hastily, as if in
horror of him, opened her mouth to
shrek out her refusal, then suddenly
with a strong effort composed herself
and, giving her shoulders a little shrug,
leaned back against the tree, regarding
her companion with half smile of con-
tempt and derision.

calmly, "since my return among my

Rosa Cuttings.

Country Life advises taking cuttings
of roses in the fall and says: They
should be about eight inches long and
covered with sand about foot deep
through the winter. In the spring set
in rows in good garden soil, upright.
Trim to six inches in setting out. They.
will take root and can then be trans
planted into nursery beds. This Is for
outdoor culture. The cuttings should
be taken just before frost arrives aud

Then he laughed harsh, grating,
mirthless laugh, and, turning suddenly,
CROPPED his way down the path that led

CHAPTER TX

A COLOR, ashen gray, spread
N over Taunston's face, white
A foam came on his lips, and, re-
moving his hat, he mopped his
forehead with his handkerchief. For
the moment he was stunned with dis
appointment and anger, so much so
that he did not appear to hear Marga-
rets second imperative command to
give way to her, and stood looking at
her dumbly. A woman to scorn him!
Since Taunston's majority in all the
counsels oe the village his voice had
ever been heard the loudest, carrying
conviction with it. The people needed
him; he was a leader, and in his own
family the women obeyed his sternest
orders without question or even hesita-
ton. In consequence as he had COM
manded all about him for so many
years he knew no other way of attain
ing his desires, so he thought now to
conquer this woman, the first to rise In
his path to block it, by his usual harsh
methods of procedure.
Before l leave. this place tonight
thou'lt unsay those words or l shall

The green matter in the tissues Of a
leaf is composed Of two colors, red and
blue. When the sap ceases to flow In
the autumn the natural growth Of the
tree is retarded, and oxidation OF the
tissues takes place. Under certain con-
ditions the green of the leaf changes to
red. Under different aspects 1t takes
on Il yellow or brown hue. The diner
ence in color is due to the difference In
combinations OF the original constitu-
ents of the green tissues and to the
varying condition of climate, exposure
and soil Naples and oaks have the
brightest color.

ughed scornfully.

choked voice, endeavoring to suppress
his passion.
Margaret laughed scornfully.
Force she exclaimed, lifting her
skirts preparatory TO moving away in
the opposite direction. "Thou'st estab-
lished a poor rule TO win a woman,
good cousin"
She stood before him, maddening in
her fearlessness, her contempt of him
and her beauty. With his heart full Of
DafIied hope and despair at seeing fail
ure close at hand, to control his desire
to spring upon her and by sheer phys
zeal strength compel her to promise to
marry him he dug his nails into his
cllnched hands until he almost forced
the blood.
Not understanding his strong and
passionate nature or Indifferent to his
suffering, Margaret continued lightly:
''Thou'st ever been so generous with
thine advice to me, Josiah, that before
go I'll give thee, forsooth, some small
counsel in return. Learn, then, that,
while force may be successful In driv-
ing men and animals, fair words, gal
liant bearing and loving attentions are
shafts that soonest reach u woman's
heart"
She moved away.
Josiah sprang toward her, laying a
strong, OBTAINING hand on her arm.
"Stayw he exclaimed. "I would
speak further. Dost think l heed thy
foolish counsel? 'Tis time thou knew,
cousin, that God made woman to serve
man, to recognize his better judgment
In thankfulness and TO bow her head
in submission to his will An thou
hadst thy way, Margaret, the world
would be ruled by distaffs, an all
would come to ruin"
In the dull hopelessness that took
possession of him at the sight of the
detestatlon now openly expressed on
her pale face his voice grew less harsh
and his manner slightly entreating as
he said, "Mayhap my ways are not
so soft and squeamish as those of the
wicked worldly men, at heart black
guards, that thou hath met abroad,
but thou would find me true, Mar

1t Is an undoubted truth that the less
one has to do the less one finds time
to do it in. One yawns, one procrasti-

therefore one seldom does it at all,

The newspapers, more than all other
agencies, are responsible for the victory
Of the people over the corrupt ring in
Phi adelpki But for their meIciless
exposure Of the rascals in and out of
the councilmanic bodies, the thieving
gas ordinance would have stood. BUA
for their vigorous urging Mayor Weaver
would hardly have had the moral cour-
age to stand out against the machine.
The newspapers, without regard to
party, fought the steal from its incip-
iency. Nor did they fight it in any milk
or cider fashion. Rolls of honor" and
rolls Of dishonor" were printed in bold
type. None of those who voted for the
steal escaped, their names appearing in
bold face type in the "dishonOrable
list,
Thus it was that the rape Of the
treasury was prevented. Yet few,
even of Philadelphia, will give credit to
these unselfsh and patriotic newspapers
which stood for their rights against as
corrupt a gang Of bribe-givers and

lean city.

AT the resent commencement eNer-
cises Of Vanderbilt University at Nash
vile, Tenn, an address was delivered
by Missouri's newly-elected governor,
Hon. Joseph w. Folk, in which he
said:
1T is one thing to be against wrong;
II IL quite another thing TO fight wrong;
One is q nOn-combatant that never won
a cause, the other a soldier In the fight.
Good citizens need TO become more ag-
gressive. The man that Is afraid to
show his colors and stand in the open
against evils is of little benefit TO good
government. The country needs sold
iers OF peace as well rs soldiers of war.
Monroe proclaimed the doctrine Of
America FOR Americans. The Missouri
doctrine inverts that phase and applies
1t both ways. Americans for America
is the slogan that needs TO be sounded
now
In a country a state or a municipality
imbued with such doctrine as the above
there Is no room for graft or grafters.
Governor Folk, while prosecuting at
torney in st. Louis, made for himself
along the lines indicated in the above
quoted utterance the reputation which
later won for him the highest State Of
fee in the gift of his fellow-citizens
Such work as he then performed, and
such doctrine as he now breaches, are
needed TO purify the body polite in
other states besides Missouri and in
other municipalities besides st. Louis.
1t was upon precisely such founda-
ton Of principles that The True Demo-
crat was established and has thus far
been conducted All that it needs for
the continuance Of it's appointed work
is the prompt, cheerful and substantial
support of all honest, God-fearing peo-
pie who believe in demanding and en-
forcing the conduct of the public bust
ness with the same degree of strict
honesty, integrity and faithfulness
that is exacted of employees and agents
engaged in the management Of private
affairs.

cOYERMOR.s MANsIOM sITE.

The Governors ManSiOn law, which
we printed IN full last week, provides
that "in case said jackson or other
park or square IN the city Of Tallahas-
zee shall not be selected and acquired
for the purpose of this act, then no
money appropriated by this act shall be
used for any purpose Of this act until a
site for such mansion suitable TO said
commission shall have been donated and
conveyed by proper deed in fee simple,
free from all incumbrance, to the State
Of Florida" etc.
Aside from the legal complications
involved In the possible appropriation Of
one Of Tallahassee's public squares for
the location of the mansion, there are
many excellent reasons why no such
action should be taken. These open
spaces were originally designed, in the
foundation Of the city, as breathing
spots" for the use and benefit Of all Of
the city's inhabitants, and for the sake
Of uniformity in scenic effect. One OF
them has already been made use Of for
a country courthouse, and at least one
of the remaining ones is anything but
beautiful in appearance, portions not
occupied by the fire department build
ings being used as a camping-grOund
for travellers, To occupy another with
a governors mansion would only con-
stitute another encroachment upon the
rights and privileges Of the citizens.
Under this view of the situation, the
duty certainly devolves upon the peo-
pie Of the city to provide in some way
for the donation of a suitable site.
What will they do about it? So far
nothing has been done. The time for
action has arrived.

our POSITION.

Tallahassee will not be satisfied with
the location Of the Florida Female Col
leRe in that city. Her True Democrat
saws she also has "eminently superior
ADVANTAGES" as location for the State
University and seriously insists that
that institution shall be located in the
capital city. It's argument that 'Reog-
raphicaly and with reference TO the
population of the State, Tallahassee has
no superior within it's borders" will
not impress people familiar with the
geography and railway system Of Flor
ida. Let us now hear from Pensacola.
Live Oak Democrat
Tallahassee will be satisfied with
whatever disposition of the college loca-
ton problem il made by the Board Of
Control and the State Board Of Educa-
ton. II will have TO be. II has not
made as much noise in the presentation
of it's "claims" TO the location Of the
university az some other places have
done. because II does not believe that
noise is going to affect the result, and
because the boards will be able, upon
inspection of It's advantages, to reach
a Just decision concerning them, in COM
parison with those presented by other
localities. Tallahassee feels entirely
confident that either the university or
the female college will be located here
preferably the former; land the boards are
assured the prompt and hearty support
and cooperation of Tallahassee in their
exceedingly difficult and measurably
thankless task of rehabilitating the edu-
cational institutions Of the State in ac-
cordance with the Buchanan law.

instances which have recently been

In the name of public virtue, honesty
and integrity, let US, if we can, keep
Florida out of the list; and if any
wrong-doing has been practiced in the
conduct of the public business, let us
hasten to fix the blame where it right
fully belongs, bring the offenders to
Justice, and thus clear our record in the
sight of all the inhabitants of our com
mon country!
