All, dear child she said, laying
her moist, cold hand upon the young

tack. No one of al those about ME
has noticed that I am lying here so
i'll, and 1 was frightfully lonely ID
this dark room. Please open the
windows wide; l need air-God's
warm air."
Elizabeth fulfilled this desire in
stantly, and when the daylight fell
Elizabeth saw that she had been
weeping violently.
The entering light awakened more
life and motion in the room than
Elizabeth had dreamed of; she start
ed violently at a loud shrek from
one corner. A white cockatoo, with
yellow comb. was swinging in his
ring there. 7g
Heavens! how dreadful" sighed
Helene, pressing her thin hands to
both ears. That detestable creature
destroys my nerves"
Elizabeth's eyes rested in astonish-
ment upon the little stranger, and
then roamed about the room, which
looked like a bazaar On all the
chairs and tables there lay rich ma
terials-shawls, extensively bound
books, and the most diverse toiler
articles. Fraulein Won Waldo caught
Elizabeth's glance
All gifts from my brother who re
turned Unexpectedly yesterday
How cold her voice sounded as she
said this. Nor was there the slight
est trace of rejoicing in her tear
stained face. The usually gentle
dark eyes spoke only hatred and rags
Elizabeth bent over in silence, and
lifted up a half-hIuden camellia bou-
quet which was lying upon the floor.
All! yes" said Helene, straighten-
ing herself UP, while a faint flush
Overspread her face THAT was my
brothers morning greeting. 1t fell
from the table and has been forgot

vase.
THE poor blossoms" said Eliza
beth, half aloud, looking at the faded
edges of the white petals. "They did
not dream when they opened as buds
that they would perish in so cold
region"
Helene looked searchingly and Of
fendedly at the young girl, and seem
ed for moment to melt in remorse.

do them good she whispered, hast

The Road to Success.

Did you ever hear of a man winning
success who didn't start at the BOT
tom?
Andrew Carnegie, Theodore loose
welt, ThOs. A. Edison-every man, in
fact, who has accomplished things,
began in a relatively small way anG
pushed up. Garfield drove cana
mules; Lincoln split rails; the oak
tree begins in the acorn; the thousand
dollars begins with the single dollar,
Small things count, and We cannot
ignore them.
The man, or boy, who id.es away
his tine, wishing for a chance to be
a great man, will never be great.
Greatness isn't born of idleness aud
Of mere wishing. Industry, hard
work, is the only thing that wins.
And hard work must begin il small
things.
The man who doesn seek improve
ment in efficiency will never design
or build a locomotive. The man who
cannot run a lathe properly will nev-
er know how to run a factory. For
big things are not simply big things
they are made up of hundreds ana
thousands of small ones.

SECRETARY GARFIELD's WORK.

oESnE ANY GARFlElDS WORK.
| Providence, r. l., Journal-When
young Mr. Garfield, one of the "Roos.
welt lawn tennis cabinet succeeded
! to the secretaryship Of the Interior
SO long and capably held by Ethan
Allen Hitchcock, the intelligent pub,
| lie, cOnversant with the new secre
tary'S record as commissioner Of cor
pOratiOns, had it's misgivings as to
the measure of energy likely to be
shown by him in carrying out the
Hitchcock policy Of land thief prose
cutiOn. 1t must be a satisfaction
therefore, to note Mr.. GarieId's Wig
gOrOus course in the case of Gov.
Crawford Ct South Dakota, who was
accused Of land entry irregularities
Of a character to invite attention
from the public prosecutor.
The Crawford case developed some
sensational features, among them the
denunciatiOn Of South DakOta's gov
ernor by Representative Mann of
Illinois at the last session of con-
gress for having employed men to
make entry, in his interest, for cer-
tain land included in the area fenced
by him as a cattle ranch. Of course
this land was properly classable as
frauduIently obtained since the profit
from its use was intended for the
personal gain of Governor Crawford,
who secured possession of it by unlaW-
full indfrection. The investigation result
ing from Congressman Mann's charges
revealed the solid foundation for
them which existed, but unfortunate
ly, criminal prosecution of the accus-
ed was barred by that convenient con-
trivance of law which so often inter
poses to defeat the enders of justice
the statute of limitations. Then
the situation was fairly up to- Sec
rotary Garfield, and, be it said to
his credit, he met it like an honest
and courageous man by ordering the
cancellation Of the improper en-
tries.
Those who have paid strict atten-
ton to the land fraud cases in which
so many prom nent western men have
figured to their disgrace, cannot have
failed to har0Or the suspicion that the
wholesale appropriation Of the public
domain by crooke ranchers and spec
u-ators has not been wholly free from
political understanding and bargain
ings. This suspicion is in a fair way
fully to be justified by the testimony
IN the trial of former Congressman
Hartmann of Oregon, now proceeding
at Washington. By the time the evil
dence is all in the methods by which
political and personal conspirac1es
fearless plundering the government
through schemes of land robbery
have been carried on will probably be
made entirely clear.
In this single matter of his plain
duty, Secretary Garfield has op-
portunity as rarely comes to any
man. The interests opposed to the
policy made their powerful
influence felt attacks upon the
present secretary's predecessor, and
they are just as ready nd perhaps |
better prepared to dispute the pro-
gress Of Mr.. Garfield il the direction !
of protecting the public domain. IN |
the circumstances, the fact that the |
latter is showing himself alert to the |
Of the situation is de- |
cidedly encouraging.

MONEY IN THE BANK
 FOR FL TIGRE VICTOR

In the Miners and Merchants bank in Bisbee lies the sum of nearly $300,0O0 awaiting notification as to the ending of the dispute of the Fl Tigre Mining company and the Ensenda company be- fore it can be paid over. The money was an intermediate and the final pay ment on the property, which were off cred to and finally refused by the Ense- nada company about three years ago.
 dispute having arisen between the Ensenada company, which originally held the mine, and the Fl Tigre com pany, which purchased it from them, B. F. Graham, then residing in Douglas, with an armed party left that city on special train and took armed posses sion of the mine, which had developed wonderful richness in the time clasp ing between the sale and the forcible retaking, says the Review.
 The attacking party alleged that a payment had not been met, passing their ground on some technicality, although it was stated at the time that the money was at the Miners and Merchants bank here on the date agreed. Paying no attention to the action of the Ensena- da people, the final payment of $225,o0 m gold was made and legal action commenced to secure the return of the mine. The Ensenada company refused to take the money and it has since been lying in the bank to await the outcome of the litigation. No pay ment will be made, Cashier Hood stated, until some specific order is received from the paying company.

COINED A BIG WORD.
Little Ono Wanted to Pick the "un-

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful mean to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when 1t al agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "%children's flowers" a
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dardelions, %buttercups,
daisies and chr ers. After this. there
was peace in the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was ~contentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped off blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner ia
BILE. She ran owe to grandmother and
promptly coined one Of the longest
words a ~four-year-old ever used.

pick the underchildrenable flowers
