 Mir. Hampton. who is always genial and accommodating, spoke of his trip and of the evidences of general pros- perity he found throughout the terri tory. He spoke of statehood.
 This is the first time" he said since l have been a resident of the territory that I have felt really confident of statehood. l do not well see how statehood could be avoided now that the republican party. the president and the caucus have declared for it.

sought hers beseechingly. At last he

In her face, and in silence he rose and
left her.
Years have passed since then. Clar-

possession never seemed quite 30 val |
table as tonight. He wondered what
Sidney was saying to make her smile
and blush so deeply. Well, the act
would soon be over, and then he and
Roberts would go and see them, and
50 give the public to understand that
matters were as usual between him
and Miss Brandon.
With this thought he resolutely
turned his attention to the stage, and
perseveringly held 1t there until the
curtain fell. Then, turning to Roberts,
he proposed that they should go over
to the opposite box.
AS they entered 1t Sidney greeted
them In his usual sincere and hearty
manner, while Lulu, with smile, gave
her hand first to Clarence and then to
Roberts at the same time motioning
her lover to seat by her side. AS
Roberts for few minutes engaged Sid
ney in conversation, Curtis managed
to ask Miss Brandon why she had not
informed him of her desire to come to
the theater. She frankly replied that
she had felt no special wish to do so
until Sidney Unexpectedly called and
asked her to accompany him. This she
told him with a manner so devoid OF
coauetry that he felt reassured, and
left her with a cOmplacent feeling that
he was quite sure of her affection.
He called to see her the next even
ing as usual, and nothing was said Of
the recent incident. Clarence's brief
jealousy was forgotten, and he calmly
accepted the old condition Of things.
Why should he be in haste to marry
even the most charming girl in the
world?
He hesitated to give up the freedom
and luxury Of bachelorhood for the re-
straints which marriage must inevita-
bly, bring. Lulu was such delightful
companion and sweetheart! Would she
be equally charming as a wife? Wheth-
er or not she wished to marry, he
never conjectured. He had always
lived for his own comfort, and self was
his first consideration. SO when he
left her that evening the words were
still unspoken which would bind her
to him. and he was yet free man.
a fortnight passed as usual, with
no change in the relations Of the two.
Lulu was a proud girl, and Mrs. Cor
mans look of inquiry every time they
now met was hard to bear. Matters
reached a climax on the day when
Belle incautiously said

you, Lulu. l tell him he will rue his
Indifference when 1t is too late"
Indeed" Lulus laugh was rather
forced "And what did my lord say?"
"Oh, that he was sure Of you, or
something of the sort. He Is abom-
inably conceited, though he is my
brother"
Are not not all men so?" asked Lu-
lu, lightly; but her eyes were like
sparks.
When, at o'clock next evening,
Clarence called to see Miss Brandon,
just went out with Mr.. Lawrence
Again the green-eyed demon seized the
tardy Hooer, and this time 1t wonder
fully quickened his latent love. He re-
solved to ask the important question at
once. Early the next morning he went
to the home of his sweetheart, only
to find that she had gone out for the
day. Clarence was seriously disturbed.
He felt that something was wrong. If
he could only see Lulu for few miu-
satisfaction, he assured himself. But
alas. that little word ''if' has often
proved a barrier stronger than prison
walls or iron bands.
He was batiied in every attempt to
see Miss Brandon alone, until he was
forced to admit that she purposely
sought to evade a meeting with him.
This only made him more eager and
determined to bring one about. but
more than two months elapsed before
he succeeded in securing the long and
much desired interview. At last he
wrote her a note, requesting some
what imperatively to be allowed to see
her privately. The reply was brief,
simply stating that she would receive
him that evening at o'clock.
Promptly at the time designated
Clarence entered the familiar parlor
and was greeted cordially by Lu, who
yet evaded the accustomed lover-liko
caress.
"'Great minds run in the same chan
nel,' Clarence. At the moment I re-
ceived your note l was writing you an
invitation to call"
This little speech quickly dissipated
the suspicion which had arisen in his
mind at his reception, and he resolved
to state the object Of his call without
delay.
Dear Lulu" he said, taking her
hand in his, 81 have come this even
ing to ask you to name an early date
for our marriage. l want my wife as
soon as possible"
She allowed him to retain her hand,
but the crimson deepened upon the fair
cheeks as she replied:

A GREEN OLD AGE.
Enjoyed by n Very Old Tree by tn>
Missfssfppi.

Mississippi.
The most ancient living thing OIL
earth is a tree. Exactly where that
tree stands Is a mooted question, for
many localities lay claim to 1t, but
there have been scientists curious
enough to investigate the various
claims, and we can probably arrive at
a pretty exact result by a few com
parlsors.
Recently somebody has put forth the
claim Of the so-called "Old Green Tree
Of the Mississippi Valley which
stands near the river in LIE Claire, Ia.
Its trunk is more than 100 feet in cir
cumference and it's branches shade a
circle Of more than 300 feet. 1t was
an ancient tree when the first white
man stood under its branches, and
has a place in the traditions of the
Indian tribes Of the Mississippi VAL
ley dating back long. long before the
first white face was seen on the shores
Of the Western world.
There are certain yews In England
that were stalwart trees when Caesar
landed Oh her shores. More than a
century ago scientist named Decan-
role proved to the satisfaction Of bot
anists that a certain yew standing i'll
the churchyard Of Fortingal, Perth
shire, was more than $500 years old.
and he found another at Hedoor, in
Buclas, which was 3,240 years old at
that time.
Humboldt refers to a gigantic boa
bab tree in Central Africa as the oldest
organic monument in the world. This
tree had trunk twenty-nine feet in
diameter, and Adanson, by a series Of
careful measurements, demonstrated
conclusively that it had lived for not
less than $3.50 years-and it lives to-
day. But even Humboldt was wrong
In his premise. 1t has recently been
proved that there is tree in the New
World which, of a verify, has lived to
"a green old age" for it antedates the
scriptural flood about 1900 years.
There is a cypress tree standing In
the Province of Chepultepec, Mexico,
with a trunk 11S feet 10 inches In cir
cumference. This has been shown to
be Gas conclusively as these things can
be shown, about 6,26O years Of age.
Nor is this so remarkable when one
stops to think that, given favorable
conditions for it's growth and susie
nance the average tree viii never die
of old age. Its death is merely an ac-
cident. Other younger and more vigor-
Gus trees may spring up near 1t and rob
It's roots of their proper nourishment;
insects may kill it; floods or winds may
sweep 1t away, or the woodman's AK
may fell 1t. If no such accident hap
pens to it tree may flourish and grow
for century upon century and age upon
age.-New York Times.

LONGING FOR THE VILLAGE

I am tired Of the city
With Its stress and strife and noise,
And am longing for the village
With its simple homely joys.
Where each face is so familiar
When 1 pass them on the way
As each treads his routine pathway
At certain time each day.
There the chickens take possession
OF the sidewalk and the street,
And the air of sweet contentment
Broods oer everything you meet
And no strangers crowd the sidewalks
Every hour by night and day.
know them all when strolling
Almost half a mile away.
There no street cars nor steam whistles
Sound alarms by night and noon,
But at eve the lonely watchdog
Starts his baying at the moon.
The secluded little village,
Toward its peaceful scenes I'll stray,
'Tis green spot to inhabit
When I chance to feel that way.

FASTEST WAR VESSEL AFLOAI
Has Made Thirty-eiHht Knots an
Hour Under Pressure.

Has Made Thirty-eiKht Knots an
Hour Under Pressure.
A series of trials on the River Clyde
proves that the Swift, the latest addi-
ton to the British navy, Is the fast
est warship atioat, the New York Even
ing Post says. She is the largest YES
sci of the type ever constructed, dis
as much as any destroyer built hither-
to. She is of extraordinary length
845 feet-has a beam of 81 1-6 feet,
and draws only 101a feet of water
Her armament consists of four four
inch guns of new type, and she
burns oil fuel in conjunction with Nor
mand boilers. The Parsons turbines
have, Of course, been fitted. She was
designed to steam at thirty-siX knots,
and, after she had been fitted with new
wing propellers, reached this very re-
markable rate of steaming, while, un-
der pressure, she made two runs with
two more knots to her credit, eQuiva-
lent to forty-three land miles an hour.
This remarkable vessel was built by
Commell, Laird & Co, at Birkenhead.
She has cost considerably over a quar-
ter of a million sterling-to be exact,
f2SO, ,292-and she is intended for duty
in the North sea as destroyer Of de-
stroyers. The Mauretania travels quick
ly. but the Swift could easily steam
around her in circles, even when going
at her best speed.
