Gabe had forced himself as deep as
possible into the leaves. and he lay
with bated breath until the voices and
footsteps had died away toward Coon
er's cabin.
Then he groaned and removed his
hands slowly and despairingly from
beneath his head. He must think and
think quickly and hard or he would be
lost.
Bill Tanner was peeling bark in the
valley. He was n wOrker-nOt in the

This is the season Of chrysanthe-
mum shows, and as usual the effort
among florists is to excel in the pro-
duction of flowers of large size. An
exhibitor at a New York display Of
fers a blossom 16 inches across, which,
it is said, is the largest on record in
this country or elsewhere, England
having led in this matter heretofore
with a bloom Ii inches in diameter
The new flower was grown by a New
Jersey gardener from a Seeding
From cuttings from the best seedlings
he grew score Of plants, all of which
produced huge 1emon-white blossoms,
SURPRISING anything ever known in
point of size
1t is considered a great triumph,
and is so in its way, but good many
flower lovers who do not measure their
regard for blossoms of any sort by
their size will fail to grow enthusiastic
over the matter.

Gabe was lying upon his back, his
hands clasped under his head, gazing
unthinkingly at the sky. He was twen-
ty-f1ve years old and barefooted.
Overhead q buzzard f1oated upon mo-
tionless wings, and Gabe's eyes fol-
lowed it as far as they could without
causing his head to move.
If he had any thought that was strong
enough to be called an ambition it was
to be a buzzard, for a buzzard was not
forced to Zap its wings to fly.
Times had been going somewhat hard
with him of late. For one thing he
had had to think, and the prospect was
that before long he might have to do.
Cooner's daughter was now of age.
and the understanding between the
families had been that some time after
Mary Bet was old enough these two
should marry in order to save the
seven acres on one side of the slope
being separated from the nine acres
which Joined and crept over and down
the other side.
Cooner was arbitrary, and Gabe's ia
Their, under the influence Of Cooner,
would be just as despotic.
Then Mary Bet was pretty-there
was no denying that-and more than
once Gabe's heart had thumped tire
somely in her presence. In that state
he had even looked about her cabin
critically, it may be hopefully.
But Mary Bet did not like work her
self. He had found the ak lying be-
side three or four uncut branches her
father had dragged in and the seven
or eight chickens pecking about with
out sign of coop or shelter.
BY that time his heart was again
beating TRANQUILITY. and he had viewed
the scene with dispassionate fore
thought. Married to Mary Bet he
would have to cut wood and perhaps

The Fight Within.

II Is becoming more and more ap'
parent that the republican party is ap-
preaching crisis which may prove the
destruction of that political organiza-
tion.
, Recent addresses by leaders of the
opposing factions indicate that the
Insurgents" and the "standpatters"
have reached the parting of the ways
Henceforth it is to be life and death
struggle for control Of the organiza-
ton and for supremacy in congress-
Aldrich, Cannon, Lodge, Payne and
their colleagues in congress, represent
ing the reactionary element. and Cum
Minis, La Toilette, Beveridge, Murdoch.
Bristow and other insurgents" rep
resenting the progressive republicans,
are engaged in the same kind of a
battle that ragged for years in the dem
ocrstic party with the Cleveland re-
dictionary faction on one side and
Bryan and the progressive democrats
on the other, the only difference be-
ing that the Aldrich-C Cannon wing Of
the republican party is In absolute
control of that organization.
Judging from recent passages at
arms between the leaders of the op-
posing republican factions the fight
Is to be to finish No matter which
side wins. It presages the defeat of
the republican party in the next ma
tional campaign.

cost of living and low wages mean
poverty for the masses and restitution
for many. These conditions necessar-
lily tend to deterioration and degen-
removed? Does anybody for mo-
ment suppose that the high tariff, lev
led upon the necessaries of life, does
not increase the cost of living? Is
anybody so simple, so deficient in or
binary reasoning power and common
sense, as to imagine for a moment that
tariff of 10 to rs per cent imposed
upon articles of consumption, the food
we eat, the clothes we wear, the build
ing material with which we construct
our homes, does not make the condi-
tions of life harder? What is the use
of talking about reducing the cost of
| living when men like Aldrich DOM
mate the United States senate, and
men like Cannon dominate the United
States house of representatives. and
not only prevent the removal of high
duties upon the necessaries of life, but
add to them and thereby enhance the
working classes in supporting them
selves and families in comfort and de-
cency?
Mr.. Hill must know that the princi-
pal cause of the high cost OF living in
this country is the tariff system that
is kept up for the benefit of trusts and
| monopolies. Years ago it used to be
said, when the objection was made
that the high tariff increased the cost
of the products of industry, that the
keen competition between the different
industries would serve to reduce prices
to point as low as they would be if
foreign goods were admitted free of
duty.
This claim can no longer be made
for the home industries have so COM
bined their plants, their powers of pro-
duction, that they have measurabiy
eliminated competition and are able 10
limit production and fix prices to suit
themselves, without regard to the in
terests and welfare of the consumers.
Think of an American laborer today,
with a family. who is receiving only
dollar or a dollar and half, or even
two dollars a day. How is he going to
clothe and feed himself his wife and
| children? How is he to obtain, not
simply the Injuries, which must be
out of his reach entirely. but such
food as viii nourish the body, and such
clothing as will protect it from the
cold blasts of winter? If anybody is
disposed to talk about prosperity, let
him talk with the laboring men who
with their low wages. are today trying
TO support themselves, with the prices
of almost every necessary of life up to
q high point, and mounting higher and
higher every month? Certainly the
problem which Mr. Hill mentions is
one that the American people must
face and there is none more important
today before the country.
Let the American people remember
what James ]. Hill says and consider
what are the causes of the present
high prices and the effective way to
reduce these prices and the cost of
living

A Kick Eron tha Raoh.Iors.

The sobranje Of Bulgaria has passed
a law imposing a tax Of about So a
year on all unmarried men who are
thirty years old or older. At Tir-
nOvo. the ancient capital. it has been
4 custom for many years to humillate
unmarried men. On the first Monday
in Lent all marriageable men who had
not selected life partners in the carni-
val season were beaten on sight with
inflated pigs bladders. The bachelors
always dreaded the day, while the girls
looked forward to IT with pleasure.
Since the tax act has been passed the
bachelors have entered a formal pro-
test against the continuance Of the
practice. They say they will gladly
pay the tax. but want the chastisemeut
declared unlawful.

Vulnerable other shortcomings of this
era will vanish. The sequences will
be more clearly defined. AS we have
developed up TO this era we have had
periods or stages of passion, emotion
and intellect. The next in the line OF
sequence will be spiritual. In the
United States, where there is won
derful mixture of racial bloods, the
entrance into the new civilization
ought to be easier than among any
other people. Duty will take the place
of right in the new era. By right l
mean the assertion of Individual claim.
Duty merely is the recognition of your
neighbours claim"
But would not this tend to destroy
what is regarded as the cornerstone OF
our civilization, the family unit?"
Stronger Family Tics.
"Not ct ALL" replied Mrs. Besant.
1.-THE family unit will be maintained in
the new civilization without the ad-
ventitious aids Of laws and conveD
lions. The sense of duty will make di-
vorce foreign to desire-aS foreign as
fire to water The duty Of the fam
lily to the state will be developed so
plainly that written laws will not be
necessary Strength will be subject
always to service. Every child will
make an equal appeal to the adult, and
still the family ties will be stronger
than they are now"
"And religion?"
There will always be need of reli-
gfon, but it will be more rational, more
tolerant and will not impose dogmas.
Religion will cease being dogmatic and
become mystical"
"And what will woman be in tho
new dispensationY
Woman, replied Mrs. Besant, with
nimation, twill not be a suffragette.
CT will she be both a mother and a
nil hand. If she prefers being mill
hand-and few women will-she will
not try to be a mother. When she is
Il mother she will be supported prop
erly by her husband.
Children brought into the world
under the new dispensation will be
taken care of by their parents. They
will not be farmed out The mothers
natural functions will be more pro-
nounced than now. Suffrage in the
new civilization viii not be q matter
of sex, but of merit, Of intelligence, eff
spirit. The proper sort of women will
vote. as will also only the proper sort
OF men."--New York American.

Gabe went with downcast head until
he got beyond the cabin Then he be-
gan to chuckle.
His chuckIes grew louder and louder
as he widened the distance between
him and the cabin. and by the time he
had gone half a mile they had devel-
oped into roars of laughter.
In his present mood. however,
laughter seemed all too Ineffective as
an expression of his feelings. and be

or two and then walked on his hands

Not in years had Gabe displayed one
tenth of the energy he now expended.
He was very tired. however, when
his paroxysm of joy was over, and he
promptly sought a secluded nook in

When he awoke an hour later the

~ mood until the outlines of the pa

The thought, made permanent by
the persistent hints of Cooner aud his
father, had harassed him for days
past. and this morning. feeling the
need for absolute. unthinking rest, he
had come out to this sunny spot where
he could lie In his favorite attitude,
with his hands clasped under his head.
But alas for plans! AS the buzzard
hoated slowly beyond view and the
