Reddy Lanes Bow.

Very slowly and contritely the door of room H.
primary department. opened, and a small, anxious
freclded face peeked in. Miss Orvis turned from
the blackboard at a smothered giggle from the chill
dren and the freckled face.
Come in, Hardy" The curving line of her
pretty sympathetic mouth Strengthened with sud
den determination. It the fourth time that
week that Hardy Andrews had come in late and
even the children were beginning to look upon it
joke. Discipline must be enforced, even when
the DELINQUENT is only seven and half. Miss Or
Wis left the blackboard with Il see q bird" half
finished and stepping forward to meet Hardy
He smiling comfortably in his half shy
half roguish way, and flirting openly with Mar
guerite Mcguire in the front seat.
Hardy, you are late again
"Yessum," said Hardy, happily.
Its the fourth time this week. Hardy. Have
you any excuse!"
Nom Hardy rubbed one shoe over the toe Of
the other and tried to Jam his stockinet cap into
his side trousers pocket.
''Why didn't your mother write one for you?"
1t was SO still in the large, sunny schooroom
YOU could hear the clock tick high up on the wall
and the buzzing of the flies over near the open
window where the rows of geraniums stood, but
slowly the color mounted in Hardy's little, thin,
freckled face, ED after a minute he looked up at
Miss Orvis his big blue eyes filed with a half apo
ogetc bewilderment
II never had any mother" The silence was
worse than ever. Miss Orvis caught her breath
horrible effect the announcement had made on them
but they were only interested and joyous the
diversion. Hardy caught the look and FASTENED to
cover his mistake.
But [ got a father, Miss Orvis, all right. I'm

10 o'clock in the morning; and that's why I'm late,

Miss Orvis hesitated but the blue eyes pleaded
well their cause and she laid one hand Freddy
Lanes" kids head.
But somehow all the morning she caught her
self musing on the child who had no mother 1t
was tragedy of course some stormy, tear-swept
page Of life from the great citys underworld, and
only this bit of wreckage left to tell the story.
Tears weed to her own lashes once or twice as she
watched Hardys small. eager face, so trusting and
foolishly happy when he had nothing IN the whole
world 10 be happy for except the mere fact that
he was alive.
As the lines were forming at noon she touched
Hardy on the shoulder and told him to wait
minute at her desk, and the little fellow obeyed
watching the rest of the boys proudly from his
post on teachers chair And when all was stu IN
the great building Miss Orvis came back and TOOK
him her lap.
Your papas a Waterman. you say, dear over
on the bridget" she began. But Hardy interposed
hastily:

Aunt Busy is pleased that you did not forget
her entirely, little girl. She would rather hear
that you like your teacher very well, not pretty
well. Aunt Busy did not always like her teachers
when she was little, but then Aunt Busy was
very bad little girl and bad children never like
their teachers In the after years Aunt Busv
learned that the truest, best friends of her life
were the men and women who tried to make her
be a good little girl so she would become rood

His Brothers Forethought

A Tammany man tells a story
in connection with a caucus held
in Troy some years ago illustrat-
ing how fully alive the Celts of
that city were to the opportuni-
ties of American citizenship.
During the caucus in one of
the lower wards of the city, a
certain Michael Mulcahy was
nominated for a minor position
on the ward tic ket to be voted
for at the charter election.
Some inquiries were made of
Thomas Mulcahy as to who this
person bearing the same name
might be, as no one in the neigh
borhood could call him to mind.

Cortelyou, it is reported, now
threatens to withdraw 81, 900, 900
of government funds and send
South and West to aid in the re
moval of the crops. Had Mr..
Corelyou, when the first signs of
a tight money market were Wis
ible, turned the surplus govern
ment funds into the arteries of
business in the South and West
, through his repositories we be.
lieve the present stringency in
the money market to a great ex-
| tent would have been averted.
The West with its wheat and the
South with its cotton had the on
ly two commodities that would
bring money from Europe at this
time. The foreigners are not
now calling for bonds from this
side and their gold is not coming
over to buy them with. 1t is the
| wheat for bread and the cotton
for clothing that they must have.
With money in the hands of the
merchant to pay the farmer when
he markets his cotton and wheat
is what we want. If the gov.
ernment has any further favors
to grant let it put them where
they will do the most good.
Send the surplus South ant

NO ROOM FOR BOTH.

One of the reasons assigned
for leaving the "In God We
Trust" motto off the new $1,000
gold coins, is that the Indian
whom the artist, st Gandens, de-
signed on one side of the coin
had so many feathers i'll his
headdress that there was no
room for the motto. One or the
other had to go--the feathers or
the motto, and the latter was
elected to be left off, says the
Meridian Dispatch.
In view of President Roose-
velt's explanation, the above cam
not be the real reason; but it is,
to say the least, quite suggestive
of the apparent attitude of the
American mind toward faith in
feathers and faith in God. The
clergymen may make as big a
fuss about it as they please and
loudly assert that this is a God
loving, a God-fearing and a God
trusting nation and demand that
orr coins declare "in God we
trust" but it is undoubtedly true
that there are millions and mil
lions people, church members
and constant church attendants
as we'll as millions who make no
religious pretences, who depend
more on show in all its various
forms, on fashionable attire, on
fine feathers to uphold them and
pull them through than they do
on God.
Of all the people who really
have faith in God-and most peo-
pie do really trust Him more or
less-a majority trust more in
themselves, in social position and
in the appearance they make than
they do in Him whose name has
been left off the gold coins. Many
a church member would be much
more ashamed to 60 to church
or to a theatre with common or
out-of- fashion clothes on than to
do someVact generally approved
and not immoral, yet which clear
ly indicates a lack of faith in
God. The latter would give
much less discomfort and heart,
soreness than the former.
People trust wonderfully in the
outward appearance they make,
and if the feathers in the In.
dams headdress crowded the
peoples trust in God off the new
ten-dollar gold pieces, it but typ.

Exposition at Jackson last week.
The difference in the price in fav-

the Democratic presidential nom-

Bryan would be glad to lend any
aid necessary to nominate Cul-

accord, however, with the late
statement of Mr.. Bryan that he
would accept the nomination if
offered him. That he expects
the nomination there is no doubt
and with his great personal pop
ularity there is but littlequestion
