Helping Out CHM.

Very properly the Senate of the Uni
ted STATES. acting on the recommended
ton of President Roosevelt. has voted
TO relieve China of nearly $13, 600
of the obligation growing out of the
Boxer uprising.
The original award amounted to
nearly $30.oCO.OOO, every cent Of which
the government can collect, If it so de-
sires. But the President, acting in a
spirit of amity n fairness, suggested
to Congress the ACCESSIBILITY of remit
ting that amount, which represents ex-
emplary damages, and accepting such a
sum only as will reimburse us for the
damages actually incurred by individ-
uals and for the nations expenses i'm
sending our warships to the scene of
the outbreak.
Formal announcement Of the Presi-
dents intention was made several
months ago to the Chinese ambassador
who, in turn, conveyed the appreciation
of his government, and now that the
Senate has confirmed the offer China
will be promptly released from a liberal
part of her obligation.
This voluntary remission of a debt
that is acknowledged by the law of ma
tions to be just and reasonable is prac-
tically unknown in history. But it is
recognition of Il principle that should
obtain among all nations, and if it es-
tablishes a precedent other countries
sooner or later, will share in a benefit
that to-day is exclusively for China.
Damages should not be assessed against
an offending nation in proportion to its
ability to pay, but with "a view TO re-
pairing the injury inflicted.

Who Rocked the Boat:

Certain Democratic orators in Con
gress seem to take special delight in
attributing to President Roosevelt the
blame for the recent panic. And there
is a suspicion that their voices are
pitched Just a tritle higher to accom-
mOdate certain members on the other
side whose ears are attuned 20 that
kind of music. 1t is noticeable. too,
that since the opening of Congress,
statesmen in foreign lands discussing
the o situation If the world, have
laid the stringency at the door of the
President as an original discovery.
Now, 1t is acknowledged on all sides
that the financial skies are clearing.
the wheels of industry are acquiring
their normal speed and the people arr
recovering from the fright that i'm
PEELED the withdrawal from circulation
Of hundreds of millions of dollars. The
stock market, which nearly collapsed
beneath the weight of liquidation, Is
catching its breath and traders are pre-
pairing for a season of buOyant activity.
If the President were responsible for
this loss of confidence. what has he
since done or what has been done to
him to reverse the current? He has
not changed his policies. If ne has
amended his utterances which We're so
offensive to Wall street, the people are
not aware of it. There are 10 surface
indications thai the administration has
suspended its program of prosecuting
the rich malefactor and the lawlesS
corporation. Affairs of the government
are moving much the same as they were
q year ago.
But no one will deny that some
thing has occurred to reassure The peO-
pie, else the financial ship would still
be pounding on the rocks of distrust.
And the truth is that the history of the
furry furnishes a ready solution to the
whole affair. 1t was a Wall street ma
nipulation pure and simple. but the
effect was not what was anticipated.
Instead of forcing the administration
TO about face. the conspirators came
near pulling the temple down upon
themselves. 1t was the Spectators who
were hard hit, while the conservative
business interests emerged with scarce
ly a scratch. The utter failure OF the
movement and the housekeeping that
was promptly begun to make n repe-
tition of the experience more difficult
have proved to the people that the days
of Wall street domination are past.
And that of itself begets confidence.
But the very fact that the financial
ship is getting back on an even keel
without the President changing his DO
sition should convince the intelligence
of the country that it was not ne WHO
rocked the boat.-Toledo Blade.

CHAPTER XIV.

Vixen and Rorie were married in
the spring, in the little village church
at Beechdale, and Mrs. Scobel declared
that Miss Tempest's wedding was the
prettiest that ever had been solemn
lied in that small Gothic temple.
Never, perhaps, eve at Easter-tide,
had been seen such a wealth of spring
blossoms, the wildings of the woods
and hills. The duchess had offered the
contents of her hothouses, Lady Elan
gowan had offered wagon loads OK
azaleas and camellias, but Vixen had
refused them all. She would allow no
decorations but the wild flowers which
Primroses, v~iolets, blue bells, the first
lings of the fern tribe, cowslips, and
all the tribe of innocent forest BIOS
sons, with their quaint rustic names,
most of them as old as Shakespeare.
There was no display Of wedding
gifts, no ceremonious wedding break
fast. Vixen remembered the wedding
feast at her mothers second marriage,
and what a dreary ceremonial 1t lad
been. The bride wore her gray silk
travelling dress, with gray hat and
feather, and she and her husband went
straight from the church to the rail-
way station, on their way to u%ntrodden
paths in the Engadine, whence they
were to return at no appointed time.
1--WE are coming hack when we are
tired of mountain scenery and Of each
other" Violet told Mrs. Scobel in the
church porch.
THAT Will be never!" exclaimed
Rorie, looking ineffably happy, but not
very much like a bridegroom, in his
comfortable gray suit. You might
just as well say that we are going to
live among the mountains as long as
Rip Van Wrinkle. No, Mrs. Scobel, We
are not going to remain away from
you fifty years. We are coming back
in time for the hunting"
Then came kissing and hand shak-
ing, a shower of violets and primroses
upon the narrow church-yard path, a
hearty huzza from the assembled vii
lage, all clustered about the caken gate
posts. The envious carriage-door shut
in bride and bridegroom. the coach
man touched his horses, and they we're
gone UP the hill, out OF the peaceful
valley, to Lyndhurst and the railway.
When the first frost had scared the
beeches to a fiery red, and the berries
we're bright ON the hawthorne, and the
latest bloom of the heather had faded

but when she was Lincoln's sweetheart
she was Miss Susan Reid of New Salem,
on the %Sangamon river. in Illinois. Speak
ing of her acquaintance with President
Lincoln, she said:
MY father was. one of Lincoln's best
friends. He was Lewis c. Reid, and it
was he who took Lincoln TO Springfield
and introduced him to William +. Sew
ar1, from whom he borrowed the first
law books he ever read. Mr.. Lincoln
and my father belonged to the same po-
litical party, and they used to talk poll
tics by the hour. | first met him in 1896
at the house of a neighbor named Able.
There was quite a party of young people
there. and | remember that he seemed
very bashful. He soon began to pay me
a good deal of attention, which pleased
my father more than it did me, for my
father liked him very much and had
great faith in him. Mr.. Lincoln often

often told me his dreams were prophetic.
He also talked of the stars a great deal,
and | remember | thought him a queer
kind of fellow. Still, he was very en-
tertaining, and he studied hard all the
time.
HE was not as ardent a lover as I've
seen since, but he kept his case going
pretty lively, and pressed me hard for an
answer. He told me | was the first wom-
an he ever loved, and hat he vas sure
he could never love anyone else as he
did me. and / believe he meant what he

come from. That cooled his ardor for a
little while, but he soon began coming to
see me again, and finally he told my
father that be would call on a certain
day for my final answe When the day

me about it and told me | had made a
Ounce of myself. but my mother took my

l ought not to marry him.
Il never heard Mr.. Lincoln make a
speech, and | never saw him after 1887.
My father scolded me so much for re-
fusins his offer that | married rather

VALENTINES DAY.

- nee again St Valentine has his day. With the possible exception or
St Patrick, he is surrounded with more uncertainty than any other
saint in the calendar Very little is known of him., and that little is
unreliable.
About all that lis certain is that a priest o bishop of that name IA
pounded to death with clubs by the heather Romans to whom h undertooK
to preach.
He became a martyr just about the season of the year when the spoony
young Romans o. both exc celebrated the feast of the Super@lia. Among
other things they had a lottery from which the names of young women were
drawn by young men who afterward acted Is their escorts during the merry
making. BY a singular coincidence birds choose their mates just at this
season. of the year for all of which st. Valentine seems TO be held response
St Valentine had no knowledge OF the day at all, but vas forced against
his consent to lend his nan to its observance.
The amatory features of the day seem TO have disappeared All that
is left are the uid pictures in the shop windows. There are aricatures at
very cheap rates to fit every calling or profession, an eve the physical de-
fets of the unfortunate are not overlooked
The maiden lady who has failed to profit by her leap year privileges
to come in or a unusual number of caricatures The doctor, the
preacher, the inebriate with the incandescent nose the virago, the dude, the
gay old boy, who still thinks he is handsome and attractive and a host of
other personages RE- utilized as targets
Valentines Day is not what 1t used to be. and there is reason to hope
illfding The pictures are rot calculated to build up art. They should be
abolished. The Jew Mahommedans nj Chinese have on their calendars a
day O reconciliation. on which they pay their debts and make friends with
their enemies. A day of this sort would be IN excellent substitute for St
Valentines Day.

Loves Lottery.

One often wonders how st. Valentines
day ever got a start. 1t is said that in
England and France the young folk were
given to playing a game in which the
names Of all the girls and boys were writ
ten on tiny slips of paper. thrown into a
general receptacle, and then drawn out
lottery fashion, care being taken of course
that each person draws the name of one
of the other sex. The person thus drawn
became ones valentine, and the allot-
ment decreed by fate was supposed to i'm
pose upon the couple a sort of loyalty for
the coming year.
All of which sounds very romantic and
beautiful, but which in plain fact must
have mixed things up fearfully, and it is
a question whether or not fate always Sc
lected the right maiden or the right beau.
