life Of Thomas De Quincy. Six days after Quincy

Ireland and enjoying the amenities of high life among
the Irish nobility In Of his excursions he met
upon "a canal boat a.certain Miss Blake, sister of

Dante's Limit of Blessedness

VT as long as literature endures the magma
i tive reader will visit the ever memorable
banquet at Florence and look through the eyes OF
the boy Dante at the young girl IN scarlet dress,
whom fortune chose that night to be the ideal OF
flied love TO all generations
she appeared to me, says Dante, in his never
u ae forgotten story of his immortal love, at a
f. wal dressed in that most noble and honorable
cn.ar, scarlet, girded and ornamented in a manner
suitable to her age; and from that moment love
ruled my soul And after many days had passed,
i happened that, passing through the street, she
turned her eyes to the spot where stood, and with
lnefable courtesy she greeted me; and this had
such an effect on that 1t seemed had reached
the farthest limit of bessedness. | took refuge in
the solitude of my chamber; and thinking over
what had happened to me, | proposed to write a
9nnet. since / had already acquired the art of put
NJ words into rime
We NAV smile at the ardor of this boy of nine but
i the light of his after life the story is marvel
ors as it is beautiful. What does it matter that
laer she rejected his attentions and was welded to
another or that she died in early womanhood
Unconscious of her place in the thought Of the
welds All this only adds to the wondrous character
OF her coronation He has linked her name to
his in a union that never know divorce. The
BOYS admiration has for her emlnence
almost infinitely beyond the reach of her largest
endeaEOTS.

She Did Not Live in Vain

TERTAINLY Catherine Porten did not live in
~ vain if the world owes to her offices the life OF
the author of The History of the Decline and Fall
of the Roman Empire nor is her reward altogether
Inadequate since her name IS forever associated
with the story of that stupen4Cus work.
The story OF Gibbons aunt reminds one of Rob
ert Southcy's maiden aunt, Miss Tyler, with whom
the future poet laureate spent his childhood: slept
with her, was compelled to lie abed late at morning
lest his stirring might waken her and with some
occasional indulgences suffered many small PrVa-
tons. He poor, pcnsivc specimen of an old
maids child" compelled to keep his clothes spot
lcssly clean and restrained from many a childish
gambol for which the boys heart ached. His chief
recreation at four years of age was to accompany
this eccentric relative her frequent visits to the
theater. After brief and unhappy school expert
ence Southey returned to the of his aunt, but
amid new scenes, in the house built by his grand
father at Bcdminstcr Here he spent his happlest
youthful days; and in spite of all her oddities, he
evidently loved his aunt The final rupture be-
tween them was occasioned by his espousal of the
Pantisocratc scheme, ! he man who became III

LAW ENF ORCEMENT CRUSADE
Attorney General of Kansas in Con-
ference with County Attorneys:
A Movement All Along the Line to Be
Started Against Law Break
crs of the State.

Topeka, Aug. 23..--DiffSrent meth
DDS Of driving tho joints. trusts ard
breweries oJi Of business were d's-
cussed at the meeting of the county
attorneys here Thursday. The coUn-
ty attorneys we're called to Topeka
by Fred S. Jackson, attorney general,
to talk about law enforcement. Fifty
so sent deputies.
The meetings are being held in the
supreme court room and everything
was secret. There vas a guard at
the door, all tlle ventilator5 and win
dows were closed and every man who
went into the room was slI1!ccted
to a rigid examination
This conference Srew oaIt of the
action of the attorneys for the brew
cry companies who held meetings, and
each one decided to- take up a GER
tain line of legal procedure to bother
the state officers. That looked like
a good scheme TO the attorney general
who decided that 1t would keep q
whole lot of corporation attorneys
busy if each county attorney started
some sort of move against the law
breakers. That is what. this, rneetlng
is for Some of the county, attorneys
will begin work on criminal proceed
ings, others Will have injunction, 9th
ers quo warranto and others will have
some other kind of actions against
the lawbreakers, and al will be boom
ing at the same time.
Not all the attorneys will be given
assignments. Some of them will de-
vote their time to the prohibitory
law, others to trusts. The attorneys
will camp on the trail of tie law
breakers.
The meeting was to geJ at the best
plans for proceeding. Every feature
of possible law breaking was taken
up.

A MOVE FOR TWO-CENT FARES.
Attorney for Kansas Railroad Commits
sion Will Bring the Subject
Before the Board.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 24.-Frank Graf
tan, attorney for the state board of
railroad commissioners, Friday an
nounced in a signed statement that
he will at once Tile a complaint with
the board for an order that the rail
roads, establish a fiat two-cent passen-
ger fare in Kansas. The complaint
will probably be filed Saturday
Mr.. Grattan Endorses Governor
Hoch's message. He thinks that If the
board makes an order and the roads
do not obey, the governor SHOULD con-
vene the legislature in special session,
so that Kansas can get the benefit of
a two-cent fare while litigation is on
After the complaint is filed notice
will be served upon all of the defend
ant railroad companies, who are given
ten days in which to answer. The
date of hearing is then set, and ten
more days notice given, which will
make the hearing probably twenty
days from Saturday. The board will
then, if the evidence warrants it, make
an order:
Mr.. Grattan's action stops all spe-
cial talk for at least month or more.
All of the railroad commissioners are
at their homes and Secretary Sinner
will not talk.

PUT 1T IN GOOD LIeHT.N
One Comforting Thought In the Death
of the Chickens.

A lady who had recently moved to
the suburbs was very fond of her first
brood of chickens. Going out one af.
ternoon she left the household in
charge of her eight-year-old boy. Be-
fore her return a thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dismayed
after it passed to find that half Of
them had been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to come, he thought
best to make clean breast of the
calamity, rather than leave 1t to be
discovered.
Mamma" he said, contritely, when
his mother had returned, mamma, six
Of the chickens are dead"
Dead" cried his mother. "Six!
How did they die?"
The boy saw his chance.
81 Think think they died happy"
he said.-Harper's Weekly.

TO TRY anew PLAN
Secretary Cortelyou Will Deposit
Government Funds in Week
ly lnstallments.
BANKS OF VARIOUS CITIES
Will Commence Next Week and Con-
tinue at Least Five Weeks-Bet-
ter Than Large Amount at
One Time He Says.

New, York, Aug, 24.-Secretary Of
the Treasury Cortelyou announced
Friday a new plan of depositing gov
eminent funds in New York, Boston
and other cities to afford relief to
the money market in approaching
crop movement period. Secretary Cor
telyou will commence next week,
place each week at such points in the
country as he shall designate, govern
ment funds to such an amoune as he
deems sufficient to prevent an acute
monetary stringency and possible pan
ic when the demand for money is
greatest at the height of the crop NOV
ing period.
The plan of the secretary Tor none
tery relief is new to the financial
world and one that he believes will
prove more efficacious than the old
method of treasury department in wait
ing until the country was severely
shaken financially and then coming to
the relief at the last moment by plac-
ing large deposit of government
Cortelyou did not state how much
money he would deposit each week,
though he indicates that the amount
would equal the situation.
The plan for financial relief was
made known Friday in the following
official statement to the Associaten
Press:
Secretary Cortelyou announced to-
day that beginning with next week
the treasury department will make
each week for a period of not less
than five weeks, deposits in national
banks at New York, Boston and 9TH
er points, the security required to
be approved state, municipal and rail
road bonds acceptable under the eX-
listing requirments of the department,
with the understanding that if called
for, such deposits shall be returned
after January l in installments to be
fixed by the secretary of the treas
ury. This action is taken to meet
the commercial and industrial needs
| of the country at this season, and
is believed to be preferable to wait
ing until time of acute stringency
when the only alternative would be
large general deposit
Investigation of the results attain
ed under the old treasury plan of wait
| ing until the last moment and ther
| placing a large single amount of gov
| eminent funds in New York, disclosed
to Secretary Cortelyou that, as rule
the placing of a large amount o.
money, while it really helped, wa:
generally ill-timed and either came toe
soon or too late.
Under the new plan the Secretar!
will place government funds IL
amounts large enough to meet thu
situation. For this purpose he ma!
use all custom funds, which he is per
mitted to do under the Aldrich act
and If these funds are not sufficient
he will augment them from the avail
able treasury balance, which increase
each week after the usual July de
felt.

METHOD IN HIS soLlcITUDE.
WiIlie's Deep Interest In Playma
Health Explained.

This story is well in keeping with
the spirit Of the age, says the New
York Tribune. A Bronx man tells 1t
about his little boy. The neighbours
young hopeful was very i'll, and Willie
and the other youngsters in the block
had been asked not to make any noise
in the streets The neighbours bell
rang one day and she opened it to find
Willie standing bashfully on her front
steps.
How is he to-day?' he inquired in
shy whisper.
Hes better, thank you, dear, and
what thoughtful child you are to
come and ask"
Willie stood moment on one foot
and then burst forth again, I'm orful
sorry Jimmy's sick"
The mother was profoundly touched.
She could find no further words to
say, but simply kissed him. Made still
holder by the caress, Willie began to
back down the steps, repeating at In
tervals his sorrow for his playmates
Illness. At the bottom step he halted
and looked up. ''If Jimmy should die"

Bobbin Boys Wages.

American Federation Of Labor, deliv-
cred recently an address on strikes.
Turning to the amusing features of
the strike question, Mr.. Lennon said:
Il remember a strike of bobbin
boys, a just strike, and one that sue
ceeded. These boys conducted their
fight well, even brilliantly. Thus the
day they turned out they posted in
the spinning room of their employers
mill a great placard inscribed with
the words:
""The wages of sin is death, but the
wages of the bobbin boys is worse "
