Her manner changed. She was 9
practical woman again, with possible
poverty staring her in the face. Hel
lips lost color, but she said steadily:

Twill you marry me?"
l thought at first she was going to
cry again, but instead she laughed and
took from the cover Of her cloak the
green box. She fitted a key to the alb
surd little lock and took out the first
article.
"What do you see?" she asked.
"a bead ring" l answered.
"a hoop of diamonds" she corrected.
"Your eyes have not been anointed.
And this?"
"a faded flower" l ventured.
"An Eden rose"
Then without comment she took out
red fringed Christmas card, a dimin-
utive valentine and two candy notices.
"And what namest thou this?" she
inquired, holding up the last article.

Did you ever stop to consider the fact
that the Inhabitants Of this earth have
never seen but one side of the moon
and to inquire the reasons why such
should be the case? The explanation is
this: The moon makes one revolution
on her axis in the same period of time
which she consumes in revolving once
around the earth. Thus the same geo.
graphical regions Of the moon are al
ways toward us. One explanation usu-
ally calls for another. Therefore it may
not be out of place to remark that the
astronomers believe that the two mo-
tons so nearly coincide because the
moon is not true globe, the earth's
influence having elongated the lunar
world in the days whom II was semi

Wallace Complains Of Cromwell.
John f. Wallace, former chief engi-
neer of the isthmian canal commission,
while testifying before the senate ca
nal committee last week said that his
principal reason for resigning his office
was the prominence of William Nelson
Cromwell in canal affairs without any
official status to Justify it. He SAID
that Cromwell had the presidents ear
to such a degree that everybody else
was subordinate to him. Cromwell he
considered a dangerous man because
he had negotiated the sale of the canal
property. was the fiscal agent Of Pana,
ma and promoted the revolution. He
had encountered Cromwell at every
stage of the game, and when he came
home to shake Cromwell off it was the
latter who met him at the dock and
was present at his interview with Sec
rotary Taft Besides all this, Mr.. Wal
lace felt that Chairman Shonts, whom
he regarded as mo engineer and an in
feriOr executive" was encr0aching up
on his (Wallace's) province.

In letter to Secretary of War Taft
President Roosevelt approves the re-
duction of Lieutenant Taylor for slight
ing a private soldier. The offense oc-
CURED at theater when Lieutenant
Taylor, who was with ladies, asked q
private sitting near to take rear seat
on the theory that it was not we'll for
an enlisted man to Oyerhear the con-
versatOn between him and the ladies'.
The president says that Lieutenant
Taylor committed one of the most Sc
riouS faults which any officer can COM
nit and one that is altogether eXcep-
tional in the army. The president
dwells at length upon the honor which
should be accorded to the enlisted men
by officers and citizens alike. He re-
CARDS the uniform of the enlisted man
as a badge of honor.
President Pardons Hazer.
In a letter to the chairmen Of the
house and senate committees on naval
affairs President Roosevelt says he has
pardoned John Paul Miller, a Naval
academy midshipman who recently was
dismissed for hazing, and ordered his
reinstatement He regards the dis
missal as too great a punishment for
such an offense and thinks that the law
requiring court martial in such cases
should be changed. Nevertheless he
disaDprOves of hazing and agrees that
the practice should be eradicated

Critic MetcaIfe Gains Point.
The case of James S. Metcalfe, dra-

managers for conspiracy in barring
him from their theaters, gained another
point when Justice Fitzgerald of the
supreme court decided in the test case
against Manager Burnham of Wal
lacks that the city magistrate had held
him legally pending an examination on
the conspiracy charge. The interesting
part of the decision is that the collec-
tive rights of the managers in agree
ment to debar Metcalfe could not be
measured by the nature of their indi-
vidual rights in respect to individual
acts. The judge also thinks that the

an airship in the form of a circular aer
oplane which utilities the turbine prfH-
