stood at the garden gate Again the
door of the house next door opened
and Louis Hamlin strolIed out in the
same manner as he had done every
night for two years and a month.
The first great struggle of his life
was suggested in the lines of the
pale clean-shaven face.
He leaned over the garden gate and
looked down at Kathy.
There once lived a man who
thought himself god," he said abb
ruptly. He found he was con-
founded idiot, laggard, a lazy, selfish
beast! He had spent the years of his
life in pursuit of his own pleasure.
He had no right to the wealth he pos
sessed because he had never earned a
dollar of it. Kathy, I'm going away"
'Where?"
"Oh, somewhere any old place. he
answered, vaguely. Its time re-
paid the world for my birthr1ght.
And | want to forget | can't pick ~ a
paper or magazine any more but
what | see your name blazed in it..
| wonder that you look at me now
since you have found-the way"
'But you helped me to find it, she

dles?" he questioned gloomi:y.
She smiled. Let me see, / have
found by actual count that you have
proposed every night for two years I"
But | skipped one night, then pro

reminded her

He gazed down eagerly He noticed
that the girlish bloom had returned
and the cheeks were prettily rounded.
Il shall never forget the first night
it rained. Do you remember? / was
sitting in my writing den when
heard a pebble strike against the
glass When / looked out, there you
stood in the pouring rain under huge
umbrella. I've come as usual to ask
you to marry me-, you said, in very
matter-of-fact tone. And when asked
you IN, you answered: If you'll prom
Use to be my Wife!'"
She paused again, and when she re.
sumed there was little choke in her
voice. When it comes to my dying
day, Louis, | shall close my eyes on
that memory. You've-you've never
been in my wild rose cottage, as you
call it, though I've asked you many
times"
But there was a condition, you

so there was she agreed in a low
voice. Seven hundred and thirty
times you have showed your faith in
me; ! want to thank you for that beau.

"Kathy," he sang out, promptly,
will you marry me?"
Seven hundred and thirty-one
times, she said, TREMENDOUSLY, lifting
her lips to his for answer.
BeWildered, he looked at the small
pursed mouth, then into her eyes.
Bending, he drew her reverently into
his longing arms
Is it true?" he cried with an anx
ious quaver in his voice. ooh, say,
is 1t true? Pinch me, Kathy!"
But kiss is BETTER she said.

One Point AZ View.

1t was the desire of teacher in a
negro school to impress upon the
minds of the youths the benefits de-
rived at Tuskegee and other seats OF
learning for the ambitious negro. One
day, in closing brilliant discourse on
this subject, in which Booker T. Wash
ington was set forth as criterion,
she said to one little boy who had evil
IDENTIFY heard not word of her talk:
Now 'Rastus, give the name of the
greatest negro?"
The answer was surprisingly forth
coming-"Joe Gans!"

Ginghams are in unusual request.
One of their prettiest phases is in the
popular jumper frock with stripes Of
mixed colcrs going around instead of

serve a whole story to themselves.
They come in every sort of mixture
and color blend that the mind of wom-
an could lead her to call for. The silk
ginghams, too, have arrived at an ad-
vanced state of perfection, and the
woman who has not looked over their
range this season will do well to do
so, and do it soon, before the stock
has become any further depleted.

Much Money Redeemed.

The amount of money which the
government is called upon to redeem
in the course of the year reaches an
almost fabulous amount. In 1904, for
instance, it totaled 1912, 100000. This
redemption is either for the purpose
of securing clean, fresh notes or to
get change of some other demnomina-

MADISON, Wis, July 9-[Special.]
The railroad rate commission this
morning listened to evidence upon the
complaint of Nicholas Stieyeler, assist
ant sergeant-at-arms of the Assembly,
against the logging railroad at Marsh
field, of which Lieut.-Gov. W. D. Con-
nor is president. The complaint alleges
that the road is a common carrier and
that its charges on freight are excessive;
that the company refuses to carry less
than carload lots and that no printed
tariff schedule is published. The de-

ing logging railroad, it is not COM

SUPERIOR WINS
GRAIN WAR POINT.
State Commission Orders Railways to
Open Their Elevators to
Public

MADISON, Wis, July S.-The state
railroad commission has issued an order
requiring the railroads owning or leasing
grain elevators at Superior to give the
general public the use of them. This is
q big victory for the Superior board of
trade over the Duluth board of trade and
is believed to insure the inspection of
grain at Superior.
When the inspection law went into eff
feet, the Great Northern and the Omaha
roads leased their elevators which were
then being operated as public warehouses
and as Il part of the equipment of the
grain-carrying roads. The lessees, who
elevators and refused to receive grain
from other dealers and threw the Wis
consln grain inspectors out.
An effort to enforce the inspection law
resulted in the issuance of an injunction
by Federal Judge A. L. Sanborn on the
ground that the law was in violation of
the United States constitution. The court
of appeals sustained the injunction and
the case is now back in Superior, where
an effort will be made to take testimony
and enter into the merits of the case
At about the time the injunction was
issued the board Of trade of Superior
complained to the railroad commission
that the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and the Omaha railroads were dis
eliminating in favor of certain individu-
ais in their lease of elevator properties
were not open to all the public as public
warehouses.
The Great Northern and the Omaha
had public elevators prior to the fall
of 1904. but the Northern Pacific had
none. The decision of the commission
orders the Great Northern and the Oma-
ha to open their elevators to the public
either directly or through their lessees
for purposes of storing grain under the
that prevailed prior to the leasing of
the ELEVATORS to private parties and their
subsequent closing to public business.
The application of the Superior board of
trade as to the establishing of public
elevators by the Northern Pacific is de-
MED because that road had no public
elevators prior to 1904.
