That day Mrs. Soliday spent a few
hours with her sister, who lived out
In the suburbs. Returning home in
the late afternoon, she was obliged to
sit In a closely crowded car, and her
eyes were startled by headlines in a
special edition Of an evening paper.

Of Washington citys darkest doings,
Roach was with Blaine when he rs.
signed from HarriSon's cabinet in 1892
and says he wrote Blaines famous re-
ciprocity bill. He says further:
In the memorable Presidential
campaign Of 1884 l was Blaine's pr.

Rev. 8. D. Burchard, Presbyterian
minister, who was addressing Blaine

expression, Rum, Romanism and Re.

the fact that the Democratic news.

make political capital out of Bur.

to attempt to correct it would offend

Roach Is a brother of w. N. Roach,
at one time United States Senator
from North Dakota, who was charged
with embezzling $4,000 some twenty
five years ago. Harry Roach once
lived in a splendid home in Washing
ton. To-day he is surrounded by swail
and marshes, and In summer time the
waters of the marshes are covered
over with a grenish-yellow slime and
decayed vegetation. The monOtony Is
broken by the growing cattails, blue
flags, water lilies and wild rice. It's
the feeding grounds of the wild water
fowl and the auditorium Of the croak'
ing bullfrog. Here and there the mo.
notony is broken by a few species o.
barren scrub oak trees, wild fern aho
wintergreens. At night there rises
from the marsh waters a dense VapoE
which casts its pallid gloom over Inc
hermit's home, while the wind mourn
fully blows across the lake.

and a little more, but as for fitting
out Elise so she can run around with
the set that her cousins belong to, I
cannot even attempt it."
This closed the conversation for that
morning, and while Mrs. Solday sat
IN her room finishing her daughters
graduating gown, her mind dwelt bit
terly on her cramped life with Its NET
ty economies.
She had really loved William Solidav
thirty years ago. He was a clerk
then, in her fathers store, and q genial
honest young fellow. But when the
business was his, he did not seem to
know just how to make 1t pay. He
bought good line Of stock, and no
had to sell at close margin to COM
pete with the cheap articles disnIavod
by his rivals. Then he paid his helm
fair price, and his roomy, well-yenti-
lated store cut still deeper into his
profits. She suspected that Soma ~
his old customers had not paid their
bills for long time, In fact when q
man was out Of work, or there was
sickness, William never would nrsh
his claims, and sometimes he lost .
good deal that way.
AS Eliza Sollday thought, her cheeks
burned and the smouldering fro ~
discomfort burst into a brighter hIozo
She had not minded the scrImninp az

cost such small amount, and she had
not begun to have her social ambitions

When an author Is spoken of as the
man OF one book" there is no inten-
ton Of implying that his other works
may not have more or less Of the eIe-
ment Of greatness. 1t is a compli-
ment to any author when his or her
TAME rests upon single production,
though the rest of the same authors
work may have large value. 1t is one
OF the accidents Of fame and fortune
that benefits author and readers alike.
The "one book" may not even be the
best that the author does, but If 1t is
a heart-thrust, and the public accepts
IT, Its intrinsic literary value may take
secondary place. So in acting. The
late Mr.. Jefferson's rip" became his
other self, and his title to undying
fame, because the public willed it.
between the true actor and his audi
tors there. is an elusive chord which.
when struck, makes him a character
creator for all time. Madame Bern
hardt plays characters we'll, but nine
out OF ten who have seen her remem-
Der her as Camille. It is not certain
that 1t Is her best role, but In It. she
touches the heart. She is Camille.
Similarly singer may become identi-
fed with single song. Those who
heard Patti twenty years ago, and not
since, recall her Home, Sweet Home"
and nothing else. Jessie Bartlett Da
Wis "Oh, Promise Me" will live as
long as memory Of the singer lives. It
was a simple lyric, but Its simplicity
and its heart-interest made the singer
famous. The singer has gone, but
the song lives. 1t is like a single
rose on the dead singers breast-more
beautiful and eloquent than a myriad
of costly exotics. Simple and full of
sentiment the song and the sweet,
sympathetic voice of the singer touch
ed the finer chords In. the hearts Of
countless auditors. In Sullivan's 1.-THE
Lost Chord" the players hand wan
ders many times ovcer the keyboard
until divine harmony ia reached. Jes-
sic Bartlett Davis "Oh, Promise Ne"
was a lyric without much literary
quality. And yet the singer, who is
deeply mourned, will always be re-
membered by it.

William Soliday avoided his wife's
gaze, and methodically arranged his
necktie. He was a plain man, with a
kindly smile when he was not dis
turbed by his ambitious wife and
daughter.
"Well. William, can't you tell me

Naadad tho RaaRatI

A country gentleman recently took n
great fancy to a cob ridden by a
butchers boy who brought the meat
to the house from the nearest town.
He thought lie knew something about
horseflesh, and he made a bid for the
animal. A price was arranged, and
the horse changed owners. The cler-
gynan was also the head master of a
grammar school, and he rode his new
mount to his daily duty; but to his dis
appointment the animal had lost all
his fire. Neither whip nor spur would
get it out Of shuttle, while tibbins
and shying brought about one or two
spills. IN great indignation he called
on the butcher, who, in his turn, asked
the boy what 1t meant. He'll be all
right again." said the boy quite seri-

OTHER FRIENDS AROUND THEE.
When other friends are around thee,

When other friends are around thee,
And other hearts are thine;
When other bays have crowned thee,
More fresh, more green, than mine,
Then think, oh, think, how lonely,
This throbbing heart must be,
Which. while 1t beats, beats only,
Beloved one, for thee.
Yet do not think doubt thee,
know thy truth remains:
l would not live without thee,
For all the world contains.
Thou art the star that guides me
Across hfe's troubled sea,
And whatever fate betides me,
This heart will turn to thee.

To have "gras dried linen" is one of
the latest domestic extravagances. 1t
has been handed along by word of
mouth from one to another who ap-
preciate good thing, and there has
neither need nor inclination to cheap-
en- It by advertising. 1t was the happy
idea of man who fell heir to one of
those New England farms that YOU
can not rent, sell or give away. Bur
the first view of the situation showed
that his farm would bring him to
speedy bankruptcy If he were to at
tempt to run it agriculturally. It had
plenty of water and broad, wind-swept
meadows, where the sun beat all day
long. This gave him his idea. From
Q city friend he caJoled lot of what
housekeepers call the big pieces" of
the family wash. When the sheets
snd tablecloths and seviettes came
home is was not 80 much that they
were clean-that is elemental laundry
work, though rarely attalned--but
they had the breath of country air and
the smell of grass. From this begin.
ming the trade has grown until that
Massachusetts farm Is paying better
than 1t ever did under a system of
