Webster a Dull Speaker.

Daniel Webster was an "intolerably
dull speaker" unless aroused by spe

Dyer, who used to report him. Il

Dyer a year or two ago, when re-
porting Webster-so lethargic was his
ordinary manner, so long-winded his
sentences and SO droning his voice."

Jetta Ravenel Speaks.

July 1st.-School Is done. The rush
and worry, the fever and excitement of
the last few weeks are all over. Five
days have passed since the graduating
exercises at Madame Moreau's semina-
ry, and the girls are now gone. The
silent, deserted class-rooms, the for
saken dormitories, fill me with loneli-
ness. 1 only am left here-a homeless,
solitary creature; whom madame In
sists upon keeping till, in the words of
Mr.. Micawber, something shall turn up.
Luckily, 1 have always been favorite
at madame's school, both with pupils
and teachers. Invitations to spend the
summer in country houses, at noun
tain resorts and by the sea, have been
freely extended to me by my class
mates; but, alas! these pleasures are
not for me. I am determined to face
the situation bravely-to accept no
more bounty, however delicately ten
dered. Jetta Ravenel, you have now
completed your eighteenth year,
Through the generosity Of your late
friend, Mrs. Hawkstone, you have &C
auired what is called a thorough edu-
cation. 1t now remains for you to turn,
it to practical account.
This morning burned my ships be-
hind me-; that is to say, l wrote to
Basirs Hawkstone's lawyer, who has
promptly paid all my bills for the last
six years, and declined any further as
sistance from my so-called guardian
After posting this letter sat down In
the empty music-room to ponder the
situation.
1t was a sultry, breathless morning;
the sun beat pitilessly on the city roofs
After the hurry and hustle of the last
few weeks the silence and solitude OF
the. school seemed insupportable. Pres
entity madame herself entered, with the
morning papers in her hand.
How lonely you look, my deal
child" she said, in her kindly way. -

problems 1t is a pity that girl like
you should be forced to earn her owr
livelihood. Did that good Mrs. Hawk
stone provide you with means for ar

Yes" 1 answered, dryly; with my
husband, too; but luckily, he was al
ready married when her choice fell up
on him. l have declined further as

CEMENT TsLEoRAPH POLES.
A Possible Relief For the Demands Of
Our Forests.

be Interested in new concrete pole
invented by William M. Bailey Of
Richmond, Ind. In a general way the
poles are built on the plan Of all
armored concrete work, though the
construction is quite distinctive In
character. In the body Of the pole
and near its circumference, equally
spaced, are continuous rods OF twisted
electro-carbon steel especially prepar-
ed for the purpose. These rods are
tied together and held in position by
continuous spiral binding wires. These
form the skeleton work Of the pole,
or the re- enforcement which Is then
inclosed IN a form into which cement
Is poured After a number Of days
the form is removed, and the result
Is a concrete pole.
Extreme climatic conditions Of sum-
mer and winter or heavy demands
upon the strength and elasticity Of q
heavy pole line leave the poles made
by this process absolutely unimpair-
ed. One of the features Of the poles
Is their remarkable elasticity. A 30
foot pole will dehect thirty-one inch
es at the top without cracking the
concrete. The breaking strain Of the
pole is figured at 5000 pounds-three
times the strength Of the common
wooden pole.
Carefully calculated accounts Of all
expenditures for labor and material
In the construction show that under
average conditions the first cost is
slightly more than that Of cedar poles.
While the average life Of cedar poles
is about IL years, that Of concrete
pole is practically unlimited. When a
cedar pole decays the labor cost Of
removing 1t and attaching the wires
to new pole is far greater than the
cost of the pole itself. Such cost is
by far the greatest item Of deprecia-
ton in both telephone and telegraph
properties. Indeed, this very item Is
perhaps the only one that has made
telephone securities less desirable
than railroad stocks. With cement
poles this renewal cost is eliminated.
Our forests are disappearing rapid
ly, and good cedar poles are almost
unobtainable, and the price Of those
Of even moderate quality is fast ad-
vancing. 1t is estimated that there
are 100000 poles in the ground in
the United States. worth 100000
600. These poles have an average life
Of twelve years. More than 100000
poles are required every year to re-
place those decayed at a cost Of from
s15,OOO,O00 to $17,O00000 a year.
When It is considered that much Of
this may be saved by the use Of con-
crete poles, their enormous value to
the public service corporations Of the
country may be appreciated.-Scien-
tific American.

PANAMA CANAL.
It's Effect In Changing Trade Routes
Will Be Enormous.

With the United States, Mexico,
Central America and many countries
Of South America lining its eastern
shores, It may we'll be said that two
thirds or more Of the population OF our
globe are in the countries that are
washed by the waters Of the Pacific,
says the New. Orleans Picayune. The
possibilities Of trade are tremendous,
and the opening Of the Panama canal
will usher in the era that will make
that commerce of incalculable volume
as we'll as value, and its effect IN
changing trade routes will be enor-
nous and, doubtless startling.
When the commerce between Europe
and Asia was carried by caravan across
the valley Of the Euphrates from In
dia and Persia to the shores OF the
Mediterranean, Babylon was the great
est commercial city Of the earth, and
the wealth and power Of Europe were
gathered along the shores Of that in
terror sea- Conditions remained with
more or less constancy heaping up the
wealth Of the world among the nations
along the shores Of the Mediterranean
until America was discovered, and the
sea route around the continent Of
Africa to India was opened. Then the
nations of western Europe, such as
Spain, France, England and Holland,
grew into great commercial import
ance, which means also military pow
er.
AS the trade of the vast countries
that bound the greatest Of the oceans
shall be developed the scepter Of COM
mercial dominion is going to be wrest-
ed from cities that have long held 1t
and handed over to some that have
been comparatively unimportant hith-
erto. It is too early to forecast the
future, but the changes in trade routes
and trade marts are going to be so
complete and overwhelming that the
world will be startled.

"Of Governor Yon Yonson Of Mime
sota," says the Washington Herald,
"it cannot be said that distance lends
enchantment to the view" On the
contrary, the closer you get to him
the better he looks" Our contempora-
ry might have added very truthfully
that the better you know him the more
you like him, and the more you trust
him.
The Herald has adopted, as nearly as
it could, the Swedish spelling Of the
name of the governor Of Minnesota: In
English his name is John A. Johnson,
and he Is by long odds the most likely
man in the Democratic party today.
The other night he made speech at
the dinner of the Gridiron Club in
Washington, and naturally he made
the best speech on the occasion and
compelled the sincere applause OF his
intellectual, but generally irreverent,
hosts.
Mr.. Johnson Is the Democratic gov
ernor Of the Republican state Of Min
nesota. He was first elected in 1904.
In that year Mr.. Roosevelt carried the
state Of Minnesota by 161,464 plural
ity; Johnson's plurality was 6,352. Last
year Johnson's plurality was 1858.
That Is the sort Of man Johnson Is.
The people know him and the people
trust him. If he should be nominated
for president by the Democratic party
he would carry. we believe. nearly ev-
cry state in the great northwest and
would beat any candidate, not except
ing Mr. Roosevelt himself, the Repub-
lican party could name in opposition
to hlfn. so strong is the faith, Of the
people in the high personal character
of this man who has come up out Of
the west.-News and Courier

am done with the Hawkstone bounty.
To be frank with you,' dear, am going
out governessing-goin to earn my
own living" And then told him Of
Mrs. Otway's offer, and my determina-
ton to accept it. He continued to
twirl his long mustache.
You seem to be inextricably mixed
up with these Hawkstones, Jetta," he
grumbled. Evidently you cannot es-
cape them So they've educated you to
be the teacher Of their own brat, eh?

there was a good deal Of circumstantial
{ know not how long, with the odium
# the murder upon him. He told me
something about 1t before he died. Mrs.
Hawkstone was IAN old flame OF his,
you know; that's why he left you to
her care. I've a prejudice against the
whole Hawkstone race, because Of the
treatment which my father received
ut their hands a quarter Of century
ago."
He gave me such details Of the old
affair as he remembered.
Enough" l said. II will return to
my first resolution, Gabriel, and never
go near the island again. Now that
you are here in New York, with such
brilliant prospects, such high expecta-
tions. I cannot feel anxious or needy
any more"
He looked alarmed.
Nonsense, Jetta! 1 am not in a po-
sition to do anything for you, as yet.
You'd better go down to the island
let bygones be bygones; after all, It's
comfortable sort of salary they offer
you. Yes, go by all means. By-and-by'

not mean to be troubled with me or
my affairs.
Quite right, Jetta," he answered, ris-
ing briskly. well, old Hypo is going
to his Newport villa today, and I, Of
course must attend him. You can
write to me, if things go wrong, you

And the next moment he had kissed
me hastily and pranced out, leaving me
panied, miserable and uncertain wheth-
er to weep or rejoice over this very
unexpected visit.

portunty for original design. The al.
buns meant for photographs have
perfectly plain pages, while those
meant for post cards are cut in Sits
so that the post cards may be fastened
in at the four corners.
If one is able to draw or paint, the
photograph book may be made more
decorative by drawing frames in the
size of the unmounted photographs.
There is also quite fashion among
girls who take small photographs, for
very small books in which one pho.
tograph may be pasted on each page.
These books also are made Of the
heavy cartridge paper. These small
books are often used for one kind of
photographs only. For instance, a
girl with camera will make mum.
Der of pictures of baby sister or
brother for gift to her parents, or
perhaps the pet dog pictured in a
number of pretty attitudes will ap.
pear on all the pages of the pretty
book. Girls at school sometimes take
photographs of their ravorlte 1nstruc.
tors and chums and send the book full
of such pictures home, so that their
nome people may see the friends with
whom they pass their school days, or
keep 1t as a souvenir to grow more
valuable as the years 60 on.
