than I thought; but ! promised her In

and down, the book lying forgotten on
the floor.
In a month Lady Winton's ball will
take place. Alice could never face 1t.

will send me farther inland--they

How could 1 stand IL? oh. no, I'll have

aloud.
Out on the blue Mediterranean a
great steamer pulsed and painted on

OF human lives, n In a cozy nook Oh
the deck Alice Trever sat and thought
OF Jack. 1t would not be long now,
and how surprised he would be.
Lady Winton's ballroom had never
been surpassed; soft lights, glorious ex-
otto plants, beautiful women. Jack felt
the spell as he stood apart for a mo-
ment, listening to the sweet strains of
the opening valse. Suddenly he turned
pale and almost staggered, c~lutching
a chair for support. A beautiful worn

anxious for introductions and dances,
to all OF whom she was gracious as q
queen. But ever and anon an anxious
look came into the glorious eyes, as IL
there was a some one or a something
missing.
Jack soon regained his composure.
$50 like he said, yet so unlike.
Why, Alice Is thousands OF miles
away; besides she never could act like
that even IL she were here" he added,
bitterly.
In the course OF the evening, Jack
contrived to get within the charmed
circle that surrounded this queen. and
was content to hnger on the fringe OF
her admirers and listen to the bril-

like his absent wife.
She had turned and looked at him,

sweet wildness that had sprung up in
his heart at that look. He moved a
little nearer-he would, he must have
a dance; he need not deny himself
that. Only to hold her in his arms
once, even though 1t would be short.
A sudden boldness seemed to take
possession OF him. He pushed Lieu
tenant Faversham slightly aside, bowed
and with his heart humping against
his side inquired IL she was engaged
for the next dance. A color soft as
roses spread over her cheek and neck.
she handed him her card without
speaking and he had scarcely writ

@ An Australian corporation has lust re-
ceived a concession from tho Russian gov
eminent to take out 10000 900 feet OF tim
Der a year from q forest In Siberia. 800
miles from Vladiyostok, to be delivered
In Melbourne, Australia, approximately
5000 miles away, and nearly three times
the distance from New York to San Fran

1t is likely that no numbering operation
OF recent years more strongly illustrates
the pinch In the timber supply in all parts
of the world. In the news of the con-
cession told in an American lumber Jour
nal, Is the suggestion OF the difficulty that
all countries may a to In
getting the wood which they need In the
future. Every year timber cruisers are
going further n further afeld and cut
ting trees which, In former times OF
abundance, they passed because OF the in
accessibility OF the forest.
In taking out the Siberian timber the
Melbourne lumbermen will have to ship
the entire years cut In July, August, Sep
TENDER n October, for during the re-
mainder of the year there Is no open
water at the point OF shipment. What
makes his unusual feature of transports
ing bulky logs 5000 miles quite feasible

though with the constantly decreasing
supply, the larger mills often find 1t prof
liable to hau their timber by trans and
railroads many miles away from their
saws. Forest experts In this country say
that the hope of the United States for
a steady supply of timber lies In the
application of forestry to all timber lands,
private and public. and the careful study
OF the economical and better utilization
OF the product. Even so, a severe short
age In 20 to 20 years must be expected.

A MORAL VICTORY.

Irrespective of the claim that
the Locke bill can rightly make
that it has the greatest moral
value to Louisiana in general and
New Orleans in particular, it is
equally true that the vote in the
Senate on this bill, hotly contest
ed as it was at every turn, in
volved per Sc a moral victory for
every man that answered yea"
at the roll calls. Though the
Grand Jury of East Baton Rouge
has attested that there was no
bribery, and in face of this de-
cree, few have the temerity to
assert to the contrary, it is GER
tain that reputable senator's on
the floor of the chamber have
persisted in the declaration that
pressure in other forms has been
brought to bear upon their body,
that mysterious illnesses have
stricken them, that friends have
pleaded and foes have ragged, if
so be that votes could be changed
or held back.
Notwithstanding these vicissi'
tudes of circumstance, sick men
dragged themselves to the Sen.

GROVER CLEVELAND.

The writer has, through good
and evil report, regarded Gro
yer Cleveland as our greatest
living American, and today.
when he lies in his newly made
grave, we can add in panegyric
what we have already said in
eulogy.
Steadfast in his opinion, un-
wavering in action, when he be-
lieved himself right, time has
indicated the one and approved
the other. He went ahead OF
his party and was disapproved
and discredited, but he lived
long enough to see his own vim
dication and to win anew his
party's trust and confidence.
He was the first man in ma
tional politics to recognize and
befriend the South. The laurel
wreath she lays upon his bier
should be thickly interspersed
with rue, in atOnement for hel
brief lapse from esteem and
gratitude of the greatest Demo
GRAFT of his time.

Death of Mr.. Cleveland.

A pang of sorrow was sent
the heart of the nation
by the death of Ex-President
Grover Cleveland at his home
at Princeton, N. J. This dis
tinguished statesman had for
some months been in declining
health and it was generally be-
lieved that the end was near.
Mr.. Cleveland played a com
handing part in public affairs
for many years, and his fame as
patriot and statesman is a per-
manent heritage of the nation,
Springing from humble stock,
as SO many of our most eminent
public men have done, he made
for himself an enduring place
high up among the ranks Of
great Americans, and history
will give him rank among the
greatest of our Presidents. he
was the first and only Democrat
to hold the Office of President
since the war and his first cleo
ton in 1884 produced a pro
found impression throughout
the world.
He was pitted in that cam

Each man of the gallant TWEEN

the moral victory was IN his IN

each instance to his personal
strength of character or the
sharpness Of the temptations
that assailed him. But there
will be few to minimize the mean

study.
Something is radically wrong
in all this. We either pick our
teachers before they are ripe
and thus have to put them
through a forcing process, or
an unjust burden is being laid
upon capable teachers, who do
not need normal instruction, on
ly rest and summer reading.
Both cases are true. There
are too many green teachers,
and the good ones are oppressed
by too many restrictions. The
remedy would seem to be to set
a higher standard of acquire
ment for teachers. This would
deprive a lot of silly girls of en-
ployment and might work hard
ship on parents who have to buy
their merry widow hats and
strap sandals, but it would
raise the tone of the profession
and relieve the State of the ex-
pense of educating young WON.

room, until they find husbands
to take them out.
The State does not educate its
doctors, or lawyers, preachers
or editors then why should il
educate and at the same time
pay salaries to immature young
things, not certain of their owl
spelling and arithmetic? 1t de
grades teaching. It is a waste
full use of public funds.
And that thought brings III

THE SUMMER SCHOOL FAD.

It is only the sweet girl gradu-
ate that talks of finishing.
Those who know are fully aware
that when the diploma is handed
to the student in cap and gown
that is but the commencement"
of his education, that he has but
taken his first steps towards that
broader knowledge which he
shall gain in the outside world.
That man is but a poor physl-
clan, whose researches and stud
les terminate with his college
course. Or that other is indeed
a poor lawyer, who has been
grounded but is not Well-read
| in law. Even so, the teacher
has not learnt the last thing
when he has completed his
course in pedagogy. His stu
dies and his reading go on for
the attainment of that wider cul-
ture which is as much broader
than the schools as the horizon
on the sea is more extended
than that of the land.
TO these premises all will
agree. But this does not mean
that teachers must go continual

the system in Louisiana. Teach
