But still he held the little hand, and
as she tried to draw it away he said
pitifully: do you mean it, Alice?
Is it no? Oh. don't let me go away
without one word Of hope!'
Then she raised her one free arm
and, resting it against nearby tree,
pressed her face upon it and almost
whispered: "Oh, don't ask me now.
I can't say yes and can't say no. =
Il shall believe that: your heart says
YES" he responded quickly, slipping
one arm around her waist, and unul
you do say mo- I shall keep on loving
you just the same"
She drew herself away and, turning
a piteous face toward him, exclaimed,
Don't, please, say another. word now,
or I shall hate myself as long as I
live if you do
For one moment he stood dumfound-
ed, and then it dawned upon him.
Forgive me, sweet. Alice, he said
softly. for speaking. too soon. I be-
lieve I know why you feel as you do,
and I shall go away hoping that in
time you will llcometo.know my mother
better. And since you have said that
you can't say no. shall anticipate
that some time it win be yes Now

The ST. Bernard Pass.

The examinations made at the Great
St. Bernard show that the pass was
not only used by foot passengers, but
by horsemen in Roman times It
seems that it was safer route in the
time Of Vitellius than until the last
few years. Excavations demonstrate
that there were two buildings, much
farther apart than Is the present road.
There was temple there, and some
fifty yotive tablets have been found
It must always have been a place Of
refuge, though often subjected to at
tack. Signs Of violence are demon
srated by the fact that votlve tablets
have been discovered broken and
thrown into the swamp below. 1t was

WELL REFUrED BY BLACKBURN

Hon. B. NJ. Blackburn, secretary
to Governor Terrell, has been high
ly complimented by Atlanta Camp,
U. G. v, 159, in set of resolu-
tions recently adopted. Mr.. Black
burn recently prepared for publ
cation a strong card, in which he
refuted the story that President
Lincoln at any time offered to the
Southern States compensation for
their slaves. The card was widely
read and has been favorably COM
mented upon in all parts of the
South. Mr.. Blackburn's paper
should be printed in bold type,
framed in gilt and mahogany, and
hungconspicuOusly in every school
room in the Southern States, for it
is the most fearless and independ-
ent utterance seen in the public
prints since the war, and it is truth
which Mr.. Blackburn has substan-
tiated by Mr.. Lincoln's own letters
and state papers.

SHOULD NOT FORCE CAMPAIGN.

Editor Mcintosh of the esteemed
Albany Herald writes ably against
what he terms "forcing the guber-
material campaign. He says cit
matters not what ones present per
sonal preference may be, it would
be a mistake to make promises
with reference to next years state
election this far in advance, and
the wise and prudent will refrain
from thus committing themselves.
Although it is by no means certain,
yet there is possibility that there
will be some live issues-real is
sues, involving interests of vital
Importance to the people-brought
out in the next state election, and
the people should be slow to en-
barrass themselves with promises
in advance of the time for choos-
ing with reference to the issues y
The Times Recorder heartily agrees
with this sound opinion. The PEG
pie are already tired of politics and
the newspapers should be allowed
a breathing spell in this "off year. y

WEALTH. ACQUIRED RYHoNEsTY

Sometimes it is asserted that no
person can honestly acquire wealth
amounting to S1,OO0,O00. With
some political speakers this is a
favOrite assertion. The many and
vast opportunities for acquiring
wealth in this country make it
easily possible for one to accumu-
late millions as honestly as a thous-
and dollars may be obtained. Men
who have lived in poverty all their
lives in Indifferent forms have sud
denly become immensely wealthy
through the discovery of oil, or
coal, or iron, or some valuable min
eral on their land. Honest invest
ment sometimes yields large for
tunes. The building of a railroad
at town sometimes yields for
tune to the owners of land former
ly of little value. A fortune may
come through an invention that is
of great benefit to mankind. A
man like Edison is honestly emit
tied to his wealth. No man ere
ates wealth; he merely develops it.
increases it's worth by converting
it into the form of greatest utility
The man who grows honestly
wealthy while developing wealth
that contributes to the general ben
eft or convenience is honestly emit
tied to his acquisitions.
