Earuus.


Come home, Sallie,'' and pointing with
his cane to the hence he led his fearful
daughter away.
In the ensuing three weeks the low
ers managed to meet once and a sad
meeting it was, for Sallie, amid tears,
informed her lover that she was to
be sent East-to Virginia, for an in
definite time. With that pessimism
which is one of the extremes to which
lovers are prone to fly they accepted
it as a permanent separation and be-
moaned accordingly.
Tom Duncan, mad with desire to
confide in some one, told his trouble
to his mother, and she retailed it to
his father. Mr.. Duncan fumed at
white heat. With remarkable incon-
sistency he reviled Fargis for doing
exactly what he would have done, for
he would have most savagely refused
his consent had his son sought per-
mission to wed Fargis' daughter, and
the fires of the feud were famed to
renewed brightness.
Back of the two farms was a
stretch of woodland containing a de-
preston through which ran a brook
with marshy land on each side. AS
the most direct course to the village
was through the wood a large tree
hurled by the wind across this gully

William Duncan started across this
bridge a few days after Toms conf

Fargis smiled derisively.
Duncan raised his hand and in an
instant the two men, clinched, were
precipitated some four feet to the
soft loan. Duncan's hand was at the
throat of Fargis, while that gentle
man twisted at his enemy's collar.
They struggled, breathing short. for

Music Is Neglected.

Sir Edward Elgar, who is professor
of music at Birmingham university,
delivered the first of a series of public
lectures there recently, and, dealing
with English composers, commended
that music was not helped SO much
as other arts. 1t was utterly hopeless
for young musician to expect to keep
himself by writing serious music. He
wanted to see larger concert rooms
il. towns, where works could be pro
ouced at small fee.

Rules of the Monastery.

Rules of the Monastery.
At La Grande Chartreuse there
were thirty-six monks, but there were
many novices and a large number
OF workmen in their distillery at
Fourvoirie, near by. Each monk has
his cell, from which he seldom comes
excepting for services in the chapel.
which are frequent. The most re-
markable of their services is their
Light service. which begins about
10:45 o'clock, and, according to the
occasion, the monks get back to their
cells at 1 or O'Clock. They are up
again at 6 O'Clock and when not at
chapel are reading, praying or study
ing in their cells.
They never eat animal food and
their fare is always very scanty.
From Sept. IA each year to the next
Easter they observe what, is called
the long fast, during which they eat
ut one meal a day, excepting Sun
days, when the monks assemble to-
gether in the refectory and have what
they consider two very good meals,
but which would scarcely meet with
the favor of the average person. The
monks wear a white robe with a cowl
and during the day wear next to their
skin a hair shirt. ttached to each
cell is little garden, which is cared
for by the monk quartered there.
That is almost the only recreation
which is theirs.

Golden Robin a Pet.

In July, 1902, a young golden robin
was found suffering from broken
wing by Mrs. Sarah Skillings of Cor

to health and now has it for pet.
The old birds fed the sufferer during
the convalescent period. They now
return each season to the house to

Monks Have New Home
Expelled from France, Carthus;ans Have
Found Haven of Refuge in Sunny Tuscany
Especial Correspondence

Having been exiled from their mon
astery, near Grenoble, France, where
the order had been for 500 years, the
Carthusian monks have erected for
themselves new haven of refuge in
Tuscany, which, if it is not so pictures
cue as the Grande Chartreuse in
France, is in one of Italys sunniest
provinces.
1t will be recalled about eighteen
months ago all the monastic orders
in France were expelled from that
country and their communal property
conf1scated by the state The Carthu-
slams, probably one of the richest com
n1unities in France, where they had
teen since ST. Bruno founded the mon
astery in the eleventh century, were
compelled to quit their ancient home
and their property and go into exile.
At the time of their expulsion the
monks of La Grande Chartreuse found
refuge at the dependent monasteries
of their order in various parts of the
world; some of them were CHARTERED
at the monastery of ST. Hugh, in Sus-
sex, England, and others, including
the general of the order, Father Rey,
went to Tarragona, Spain.
Almost Immediately, however, the
monks looked about them for new
home. and found sheltered spot in
the hills of Lucca. Tuscany. Here
they have erected a commodious mon
astery, which has only recently been
completed, and in it within a few
months all the Carthusians who we're
compelled to leave France will be
domiciled. The new monastery is con-
siderably a more magnificent struc-
ture than the ancient home of the fol-
lowers of St. Bruno at Grenoble. The
cloisters are of Carrara marble and
the chapel is more beautifully decor
ated.

Order is Wealthy.

Owing to the manufacture and sale
of liquor known the world over as
chartreuse the order is very wealthy.
but the monks live a most severe
and abstemious life. In the past the
income from the sale of their liquor
was about 100000 francs, year, but
now, in a measure, their monopoly
has been taken from them in France,
where they are not permitted to sell
their famous tipple under it's old name,
the trademark, etc., having been de-
clared in the French courts the prop
erty of the state.
A most remarkable suit grew out of
the demand of the French govern
ment for the secret of making the
famous Chartreuse, which, in it's re-
suit, was almost farcical, as many
things are in the French courts. The
first chamber of the civil tribunal in
which La Grande Chartreuse is loca-
ted handed down a decision declaring
that the property of the congregation,
the secret for making the cOrdials
and the trademark of Chartreuse had
become the property of the state.
Father Rey, the successor of Father
GARNER, the original owner of the
secret, .contended that the plant and
the whole establishment belonged to
him, but admitted the order was his
business partner. 1t is needless to
say he refused to part with the secret
and, being in Spain at the time, where
lie had established a new distilery,
the head of the order left only an
empty kind of victory for the French
government.
The humorousness of the situation
developed when the receiver appoint
ed by the French government to take
charge of the Carthusian establish
ment found about 100000 liters of
the liquor, the most part in raw spirit,
which, as the sole legal proprietor,
be was about to put upon the market.

Conference Reports on Rate and
Agricultural Bill Adopted.
NIGHT SESSION IS TAKEN
LabOrs From Eleven O'clock A. M. Until
Eleven P. M.-COnferees Supported
on Meat Inspection Amendment
Mo Rest Taken.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-The House
worked under forced draft today and
accomplished an immense amount of
business preparatory to adjournment at
the weeks end. Conference reports on
a number of measures were adopted
without debate, but required special
rules in other particulars to effect the
consideration and adoption of important
conference agreements, Interest centered
about the conference reports on the rail
road rate bill and the agricultural ap-
preparation bill. Both were considered
and adopted under the blanket rule per-
mitting consideration of conference re-
ports without being printed in the rec
ord. The house expressed confidence in
the conferees on the agricultural bill by
instructing them not to recede from the
meat inspection amendment. On the rate
bill there was general expression of
satisfaction, but the measure should be
perfected, Without taking recess, the
house labored from II this morning until
II tonight.
After the legislative business, which
kept the house at the grindstone until s
o'clock, had been disposed of, the crowd
ed galleries listened to another series of
political speeches.
