 Just for an instant the shadow of re- gret fell upon her lovely face, and Remington, seeing It. took her in his arms.

She re- minded him of family friend who would sit enraptured at grand opera or concert and yet who could never strike single true note or carry a tune and who wept because singing her babies to sleep was boon de- nied.
 Remington dropped in to see Wilhel. nina oftenest when he was sure of finding her alone He avoided her din ners and teas and chafing dish sup pers He found Wilhelmina's society real inspiration in his work, for Remington had a mission He wished to transplant to the suburbs of New York the love of old English architec. ture which he had absorbed during his year in the English provinces. And Wilhelmina not only appreciated Eng fish architecture, but she seemed in- stinctively to grasp it's fundamental principles.
 Remington had not dared to tell her how much he had depended upon her working out his plans for the cottage contest in the ladies round the year guest" That was why. with triumph Tightening his heels and brlghtening his eyes. he rushed into her studio one stormy March day, the letter of su- preme importance held aloft. And Wilbelmina sprang up abruptly from the mass of pillows on her divan and tried bravely but Intellectually to hide her tears.
 Remington stopped, joy freezing on his lips at sight of her obvious grief.

A DASTARDLY DEED.

The assassination of Catholic
priest while in the performance OF
his religious duties at the altar OF
his church in Denver last Sunday
by an anarchist calls to mind that
there is a breed of demons IN this
world that need to be eXtermlnated.
Heretofore the anarchists have con-
fined their dastardly and murderous
deeds to presidents, kings, princes
and potentates, alleging as their
reason their hatred of government.
but here we have a case OF an IN
nocent and harmless priest, while
engaged in the performance OF re-
ugious ceremonies, being shot down
at the altar for no other reason
than that he was priest, and thai
the assassin hates. priests OF all
kinds"
Herein the anarchists appear in
new role and the limit of their
malevolence has been reached.
Sometime ago there was a sugges-
ton of united action on the part of
all the civil ICED nations for the sup.
preston of anarchy everywhere. |
was proposed to establish colony
on some island in the sea, whittier
to deport all anarchists and confine
them there, leaving them to prac-
tice their beliefs to the full bent of
their inclination. Certain 1t is that
something should be done for the
suppression of anarchy everywhere.
This act is accentuated by the re-
cent regicide in Portugal and the
assassination of a priest in Denver
which are the most recent acts of
anarchy. The anarchists should be
deported to some lonely island or
exterminated The limit of their
villainy has been reached.

THE COIN MOTTO AND THE NEW
SUGGESTION.

Mr.. Roosevelt is probably sorry
ere this Of his presumption in hav-
ing the motto "In God We Trust"
eliminated from the gold and silver
coinage of the land. After submit
ting for months to a fire of criti-
cism from innumerable sources, he
has his discontinue completed by
the House committee on weights
and measures, which waited upon
him Wednesday to inform him that
it had resolved unanimously to re-
port favorably the bill providing
for the restoration of the motto.
The best piece of wit that has come
under our notice for some time was
the suggestion made at that meet
ing by Representative Knowland of
California, who moved that while
they were on the subject of notices,
his committee further RECON-
mend placing upon the clearing
house certificates the motto: 81
Know That My Redeemer Liveth. !"
The irreverence of the remark can
be almost forgiven for its aptness.
At the dinner In New York the same
night to Ambassador Reid, Mark
Twain had his fun at the expense of
the President. He declared .'the
prosperity of the nation W ent down
in a pile when we ceased to trust
God in that conspicuous and well
advertised way" and 'now that we
have resumed our trust in God we
will discharge Mr.. j. Pierpont Nor
gan from his high post of honor"
Seriously speaking the whole
thing is much ado about nothing
says an exchange. OF course there
was never any valid reason for re-
moving the motto. 1t is we'll to pro
serve tradition and the motto itself
did no harm, while it's removal has
stirred to action an army of cranks
True, it is sufficiently far-fetched
to be farcical, for if any of the peo-
ple of the earth are rushing alone
at headlong speed, without fear OF
I God in their hearts, it is Americans
as nation. But to quote Mari,
Twain, it is we'll enough to advertise
our trust in the Almighty even if
we don't practice what We are
preaching.

TIM MANGAN DIED
FROM HIS INJURIES

TimaP. Mangan, an account of
whose inj1ries Has previously been
given, died yesterday afternoon at
the Cotton BELT hospital, from the
effects of/his hurts in the local Cot
ton Belt yards. His legs were so
badly involved in the accident that
they had to be amputated and even
with those operations it was doubt
full if he could recover. From the
first, little hope that he would sur
vive the shock was entertained.
The victim of this sad accident
has lived in this city long time,
and leaves a family. Recently he
erected a home on College Hill and
lived at the intersection of Mary
and Hayes avenues. He was pop
ular man, and had a great many
friends both in and out of the rail-
road business. Announcement for
the funeral will be made this morn

ing. After opening down on foreign
selling with a recession of from i
to point from yesterdays close,
prices hardened slowly on short
covering and by the noon hour the
market ranged Is to Is points high
er than the opening level. The ad-
vance was due to the reports OF
Price brokers taking on large lines
and the rumor that that operator
had turned to the bull side. The
rally was due to covering of shorts
only, and represented local and
Southern buying. Covering in March
was particular feature. Spot in
terests seemed to be taking on
March contracts and this made
shorts generally uneasy. The bad
weather in the South has not helped
preparations for the new crop. If
these unfavorable conditions con-
tinue making a decided hindrance
to farm work a sharp advance is
looked for. The rally eliminated
the bear company and should i'm
provement in weather conditions fol-
low, we believe lower prices will
ensue. J. S. BACHE e co.

A LESSON FOR ADVERTISERS.

AS an instance Of the value of news
paper advertising to increase or force
trade, the following facts are remark
able. During December the orders re-
ceived by the Douglas Boot and Shoe
Company, of Brocton, Mass, fell of in
consequence of the business depres-
sion following the panic. The advertis-
ing manager of that large concern
mentioned the matter to Gov Douglas,
and asked his advice, whether, under
the circumstances, they should place
the usual amount of advertising dur
ing January and February, which are
usually the slowest months in the
year in the shoe business. Gov. Doug
las at once ordered an increase of 80
per cent in the amount appropriated
Tor advertising, declaring that such an
increase would help to overcome the
unfavorable business outlook. There
was considerable skepticism about the
results amongst the principal en-
ployes Of the Douglas company. Blu
the result showed almost an imme
date improvement In business which

during these unusually dull months.
Thus the business sagacity OF Gov
ernor Douglas has overcome the hard
times, and his optimism has proven an
antidote to the Republican panic.
The advertising manager OF GOV
ernor Douglas explains the phenome-
non of increased sales, when by ali
the rules of business there should
have been a decrease, as entirely p1V-
duced BY the increased advertising
Other advertisers of shoes who were
drawing in their horns and many OF
their former customers were induced
to patronize the Douglas shoe because
it was more than ever brought to their
notice.
1t seems that persistent advertising
pays. for last year 5000 newspapers
carried the Douglas advertisement,
and the profits were larger than ever.
The foregoing facts should indicate to
those who decrease or decline to ad-
vertise at all when business is droop-
ing that persistent advertising pays
and that increased advertising pays
better, and that the newspaper Is the
best advertising medium.
