the girl, whose youth was, L reflected,
marked by her short skirt, the uncon-
Germ with which her hands were thrust
into the pockets of her coat, and the
irresponsible tilt of the tam-o' -shanter.
There is something jaunty, a sugges-
ton of spirit and independence, in a
tam-o' -shanter, particularly a red one.
If the red tam-o'shanter expressed, so
to speak, the keynote of st. Agatha's,
the proximity of the school was not so
bad a thing after all.

SECOND HAeue3 CONFERENCE.


Now that The Hague Conference is
certain to meet in June 1t Is well to
| consider what we may and what we
may not reasonably expect of 1t in
the line of definite results. 1t must
Ire remembered that the first Hague
Conference owes It's fame to one
achicvemcnt-tle Hague Cortland
that in It's primal purpose-thc reduc-
coming Conference will not found an.
other Hague Court nor Is 1t likely to
record definite progress toward lin
itation of ornaments though the sub
jcct will very probably be discussed
with an eye to the future. Those,
therefore, who look to the Hague for
the spectacular will do well to curb
their expectations in advance.
1t does not follow that the Confer.
cnce will be less important than that
OF 1899. If IL did nothing more than
pursue the limited, war.reguluting
program proposed by Russia, great
good would result But other meas.
urcs will doubtless receive attention,
the most important of which is per-
haps the proposal that the Hague
Conference be made permanent
body with periodic meetings-a meas.
urc which has been urged by the In
tcrparlamentary Union. the Mohonk
Conference, and the recent National
Arbitration and Peace Congress-. 1t
may seem Il small thing for the
Hague Conference merely to resolve
that 1t will meet once in three, five
or seven years, but In effect establish
an international congress, of one
house 10 be sure and with only adj
visory powers but the possible M.
cleus of future International legis-
laturc. The very agreement by all
the nations to send delegates to pc
riodic meetings for consideration of
international problems. even I'm times
of war, would rank high in history.
Then there is the question of
general arbitration treaty. Whatever
may he the value of the existing
forty-four special arbitration treaties,
it cannot be denied that If the Hague
Conference could agree OH n general
treaty binding all nations to -cbmit
to arbitration all Of certain classes of
differences arising between any of
them Il great step forward would be
taken. or course, such a treaty would
be limited in scope, but it would re-
move as possible causes of war some
classes of controversies.
lf, in addition to necessary revision
of the Hague Convention, the Con.
ference acts on either OF the above
measures, it will merit the approba-
ton of all friends of peace.

TURNED ON THE JOKER.
She Was Not His Wife and Evidently
 Was Glad of the Fact.

A Imaginable but rather embarrass- ing case of mistaken identity oc- cured the other day in large drap- er's shop. A gentleman who is a little too fond of joking entered the shop for the purpose of meeting his wife at a certain counter. Sure enough, there stood lady dressed to his eye, at least-just like the woman he was after.
 Her back was turned, and no one was near her, so he quietly ap- preached, took her by the arm, and said, in a voice of simulated sever- ity:
 'FWell, here you are, spending my money as usual, eh ?"
 The face turned quickly toward him was not his wife's; 1t was that of an acrid, angry, keen-eyed woman of about 50 years, who attracted the attention of everybody in that part of the shop by saying in a loud, shrill voice:
 "No, I ain't spending your money or no other mans money, and I'll-"
 ''I beg your pardon, madam" " cried the confused gentleman. q supposed you were my wife, and"
 "Well, I just ain't your wife, nor no other mans wife, thank fortune, to be jawed at every time l buy a yard of ribbon I pity your wife if you go about shaking her like you did me. If I was her I'd"

THAT THING CALLED LOVE.

An Atchison young man not many years ago commenced to call on a girl. He kept her out on the front porch late at night, he made life a torment for her if she looked at any other man and finally he married her. He is poor, and her father was in fairly good circum- stances, so that for the first time in her life she began to taste privation and self-denial. She cooks for him, cleans, sews, mends and slaves for their two children. Do you want to know why this man put her in po- sition where she would experience such hardship in addition to his tyranny? Because he loved her. Atchison Globe.
