 Look here, Wells" rasped the man. aging editor, wheeling about in his easy chair and surveying me sternly, your work is getting rotten, absolute. ly rotten. What you need Is a vaca. tion. Take it. Get out and don't show your face around here for two weeks Thus it came about that the next ] day found me lolling comfortably on a settee, in a shady part of the park. My five years work on the newspaper had given me wide acquaintanceship within the city. Consequently, among the passers-by. there were many whose faces were familiar.
 Presently two familiar figures came within my field of vision. They were a pair of girls whom had encoun- tered many times in my search for news. named respectively Mag and Liz"
 Being a trifle familiar with their especial brand of graft" decided to watch and see with what success they should operate it. So I lit my pipe and waited expectantly, nor did have long to wait.
 Suddenly there came a wild shriek and. in moment. people were rushing pell nell toward the spot where a mo- ment ago I had sighted this gifted pair.

Fate de. cided the question for me.
 The. crowd had miracuously disap- peared. having evidently forgotten Mag and her troubles. while the precious pair wandered slowly along in my direction. keeping a shifty eye out meanwhile for a possible police man.

 The huntedslook left the girls face and she glanced at me gratefully as she sat down

April Nineteenth.

1t Is an interesting coincidence that
many events important in the history
of the country have occurred on April
10Th. On that day, in 1775, the first
blood of. the Revolution was shed at
Lexington, Massachusetts-th first bat
tie of the war for American independ-
ence.
Just eight years from the commence
ment Of the war, or on April 10, 1888
cessation of hostilities was proclaimed
in the American army.
John Jay was confirmed by the Sen.
ate at Philadelphia on April 10, 1874
as special envoy to England.
On April 10, 1s47, during the wal
with Mexico, the American troops en-
tered Jalapa.
On April 10, 1850, the famous Bull
wer-Clayton treaty was signed, which
provided that neither England nor the
United States should obtain exclusive
control over the Central America inter
ocean canal, or erect any fortificatior
in the canal zone.
On April 10, 1861, the first blood o.
another war was shed, when the Sixtl
Regiment of Massachusetts,, while Ell
! route to Washington, was fired upor
by mob in Baltimore. On that sam,
day the ports Of the seeding Statel
were proclaimed to be under blockade
The battle Of Coldwater, Tennessee
took place on April 10, 1858.
On April 10, 1865, the funeral ser
vices Of Abraham Lincoln were held a

1t was April 10, 1898, when Congress
passed the joint resolutions demandin
the evacuation Of Cuba by Spain, an,
empowering the President to use tn
army, navy and militia for the enforce

New York City Is making an expert

Most Of this Is always paper, which is
unsightly, and when loaded on the
street-collecting carts, easily blows

the can. The experiment consists In
putting two sheet-iron cans together
one inverted above the other. The low

America now leads the world In the
manufacture, sale and use Of automo-
blles. This Is the declaration Of a
French expert who has been keeping a
record of the automobile business. Five
years ago the United States built only
314 automobiles of all classes, while at
the same time France built 23.711 ma

school and college. Having received a
poor start in common schools, students
dislike the subject and avoid it If pos
sible, with the acquiescence, too often,
OF college professors What is needed
is a revival of interest in the teaching
Of English grammar and composition
from the common school up through the
high school and college. Not only is
a knowledge of rules essential but there
is need Of that frequent practice in
writing through which alone can be
acquired the power to write clearly and
correctly.

She patted her mothers knee as they

Citizens of a New Hampshire town
which is infested with moths have
shown that they know what patriotism
means and what the flag stands for.
One article in the warrant for the town
meeting called for an appropriation to
exterminate the moths, another for
money with which to buy a new flag.
The first was accepted, the second re-
5ected. The people agreed that the old
flag could serve every purpose of a
hard-working and able-bodied flag for
at least one more year; but they knew
that the moths would not wait.

BIT OF SWITZERLAND IN IOWA.
Rugged Beauty of n Home on the
Bluffs of the Mississippf

One of the most picturesque spots in
the vicinity of Burlington, and proba-
bly, in all Iowa and the Mississippi val
ley, is the Scholer home, says the Bur-
lington Correspondent of the Des
Moines Register. 1t is known far and
wide as the Swiss chalet" and is in
fact a perfectly constructed Swiss
dwelling place. In every detail the
idea is carried out in the unique dwell
ing, not only on the exterior, but with
In, where those who have visited Swift
zerland and been entertained in the
homes Of that country may see that
same arrangement Of rooms and conye-
niences as In the original structures
among the Alps.
Mr.. Scholer, who was born in Swift
zerland, and received a good education
In the institutions of that country. came
to Burlington fifty-three years ago. and
bringing with him an intense affection
Tor the rugged fatherland sought to
maintain the inspiration in his sur-
roundings. He selected one of the most
rugged portions of land Just south Of
Burlington at that time, and on the
steep side. overlooking the broad ex.
panse of the Mississippi River, he erect
ed the Swiss home. He did not dis.
turb the wild surroundings of the place
except to tidy it up in the good old
Swiss way, and to train some vines
around the house.
To-day it presents the Same rugged
and natural beauty that attracted tae
eye of the mountain climber fifty-tbrce
years ago, and is one of the pleasantest
views to be obtained from the brow Of
Crapo Park. Indeed, from the most
frequented spots in the park this bean.
tiful old home appears like a picture
of Switzerland, with the sweep of the
river beyond appearing as one of the
beautiful Swiss lakes. Mr.. Scholer died
the other day full Of years and good
works and possessing the regard of all
those who knew him. He left his mic.
turesque home to his sons, and IL will,
long remain as one Of the attractive
features Of this locality.

Lady MelrOse sighed.
Directly they entered the ballroom
Peggy saw Lord Montleithon; he was
bending over cynical Mrs. Groombridge
and the expression on his clear-cut
features was, as usual, enigmatic.
The minister, looking up, saw the en-
try of the girl in pink chiffon. For a
second his gaze fingered well pleased
then he frownd. Nevertheless, he came
to talk to her later.
A frank smile greeted him.
"You are wonderful. How can you

Again learned college professor has
been warning young men against the
"irreparable mistake" of falling in love
and marrying before becoming estab-
lished upon solid footing in life. 1t
Is not worth while to repeat his argu-
ments. They are as old as the hills
and as prosaic. If there is anybody in
the world absolutely untitled by tenn
permanent and training for sympathetic
opinion on the question Of love, it is
the typical college professor, owl-eyed,
stiff-jointed, bald-headed and emotion
ally dried up from porting over musty
books. Flesh and blood feel that there
Is no time for falling in love like the
first opportunity. If ones first love
affair takes" and lasts-good If the
first one fails, the sooner there is a
second the better. There is no more
inspiring spectacle than that of an old
couple, with their children and grand
children gathered about them, celebrat-
Ing their golden wedding. Thus to face
the sunset of life with serene face and
heart full of the cultivated and gar
nered emotions of years one must be-
gin loving early and keep it up. Dis
cusslon OF love Is tabooed by a good
many well-meaning people. They think
1t subject only for shallow "spoonies 4"
And yet 1t is the subject that comes
closest home to all of us, that we all
think about great deal at some period
or other, and that we each have to
settle. To love worthy woman Is a
mans first duty. And he will be wise
II ne undertakes 1t early In life, when
ne Is wide awake to woman's faults,
when he has ceased to look upon wom-
an as divinity and begun to regard
her as a loving and lovable human
creature-a being neither too faultless
nor too full Of faults, but one whom it
Is his duty to love and caress, to guide
and chide. 1t Is mans first duty to

terlty to love and be loved while vet

who In your struggle with the Hercules,
this brawny world, will endow you
with new strength every time you are
thrown upon her bosom. For you may
sport awhile with Fortune, and lose

English grammar is subject which

would. Poor instruction in grammar
