As the Adninistrationists See Him

When Lieutenant-Governor Fitz-
gerald made up his committees, he
had small choice in the selection of
a committee on judiciary. The SEN
ate elect contained just enough law
yers to fill the committee, and no one
but blank chump would place a
farmer or merchant on judiciary
committee if there were enough law
yers present to fill it. But he did
have a choice in the selection of a
chairman, and he chose a jurist who
is recognized all over the state for
his legal ability and rness-Judge
Francis Price, of Clark county. 1t is
true that this committee has made
mincemeat of some of the ad-
ministration pets, but, as the adver-
tisement is wont to remark There
is a reason" They were not killed
because they were pets.
Before the writer was promoted to
worse things, he was police reporter
and remembers a case of several years
past, which fits the occasion at hand.

A POSTAL ROMANCE.

Inspector Graham. of the Postal
Service, happened to be at Chestnut
Hill at the time the postmistress died,
and he took charge of the Office and
did what he could in other directions.
The deceased had left two daughters
one twelve and one eighteen. Squire
Davis and two or three others scarce
ly waited the burial of the widow be-
fore planning for the postmastership
and invoking the aid of the Inspector.
This they did not receive, however. He
promptly recommended Bessie. the
eldest daughter, for the place, and she
was shortly appointed.
A few weeks later Mr.. Graham was
back again to see how things were
running Queerly enough, as Bessie
thought he seemed somewhat embar-
rassed at meeting her again. He was
less official than she had ever known
him. He had been making his official
visits for six or seven years. and~had
always had pleasant words for the
fatherless girls. Mother and daughter
had come to look upon the Inspector
as a good friend as well as a pains
taking official, and as to whether he
was married or single the subject had
never been discussed. AS for Bessie
herself, he had come forward in the
crisis and proved a good friend and
she naturally felt grateful. If there
was any feeling beyond that she did
not realize it.

remarks on America and its institu-
| tions.
"reminiscences of Lincoln, contribut-
ed by so many and such variously
distinguished men of his time, and now
published by the Messrs. Harper, were
collected some years since by the late
Allen Thorndike Rice. Mr.. Rice, who at
one time was editor of the North
American Review, in his own intro
ductory chapter pays Lincoln a Sig
niffcant tribute when he says, Even as
president of the United States at d
period when the nations peril invested
the holder of the office with almost
despotic power. there seems to have
lack of desire to rule that nothing could
lessen or efface.''
Sir Gilbert Parker, NJ. p, whose novel
The Weavers has had to be again re-
printed by the Harpers in this country,
is supporting the parliamentary bill to
abolish the lord chamberlain's power in
England to censor plays. The new
movement apparently would transfer
the powers now held by the lord cham
berlain to the London county council,
which already controls the censorship
of the music halls, consequence being
cure hearing in the halls when the
theaters are refused him. Authors and
managers are not wholly in accord on
this question. One of the writers who
take their stand with Sir Gilbert is I.
p O'Connor of the famous ct. P.'s''
Weekly; another is A. E. w. Mason.
Charles Ram Kennedy's plays, The
Winterfeast and The Servant in the
House, both of which are having
marked success among the Harper
books this season, show the literary
influence upon their author of the
bible While this is no doubt due
partly to the early training of Mr..
kennedy. yet there is room to believe
that most Englishmen are better ac-
ouafnted with Bible-readtng than are
Americans. 1t seems that the priest
in The Winterfeast startled one
reader bv his remark that he would
not die childless. '"That old re-
mark about sin conceiving and bring
ing forth death doesn't seem to occur
to people," says Mr.. Kennedy. THAT

so you are keeping an eye on this
postof1ce, eh ?" saluted Squire Davis,
as he saw the Inspector back again.
''Well, you'll need to do 1t. I'm not say
ing that Miss Jordan is not a nice girl,
but she isn't responsible. No girl of
that age is. She's sure to make some
big blunder."

For the next year the postoffice at
Chestnut Grove was the best conduct
ed of any on the Inspectors route.
Not the slightest fault could be found
in any direction. Had the Inspector
visited the Office four times in the year
he would have covered his instruc-
tions, but his calls were made much
oftener. Sometimes he overhauled the
Office reports and again he merely Wis
tied for couple of hours.
Before the year was up Miss Bessie
had to admit to herself that the In
spector was showing something be-
sides official interest. and the know
ledge embarrassed and panied her
She had learned that he was free to
marry, and why all these visits if he
was not in love with her? The girl
had a secret. It was a secret from
the Inspector only, and she trembled
every time he came for fear that he
would discover it. A dozen different
village gossips could have betrayed
that secret. but they had not been en-
couraged to talk. Squire Davis had
often had it on his tongues end, but
had checked himself and said:

The girl postmistress had entered
upon her second official year, and In
spector Graham had arrived to pay
one of his semi-social calls. when he
was met by storm of excitement He
had been doing a great deal of think
ing during the past three months. He
had satisfied himself that he was real
ly and truly in love with Bessie and
wanted her for wife, and he believed
that he had found favor in her eyes.
On this occasion he meant to tell his
love and know his fate.

noon. The boy was injured internally
and little hope is held out for his re-
