Cecil, where their father had en-
gagged rooms. The girls wanted
to start out at once sightseeing,
but Mr.. Hopkins advised them
to wait until the next day, when
they would start in the morning
and would spend the day view
ing the town.
When the party assembled at
the table the next morning, the
two men were much disguised
with the English breakfast. The
idea" grumblcd Mr.. Hopkins,
"any one would think that | asked
for 5 o'clock tea, if they should
see this. Who wants tea and
marmalade and cold roast beef
for breakfast"
''You must remember that
when you are in Rome, you must
do as the Romans do" laughed
Mrs. Hopkins.
81 won't in this Rome, any
way" declared her husband.
Here, waiter, bring me
poached egg on toast, slice of
broiled ham and some pancakes
The waiter stared, then gasped,
Eyes, sir" and hurried away to
consultation with the head waiter
and cook. Mr.. Hopkins Ameri-
can appetite having been salts
fed, the party PUT on their wraps,
climbed into their cabs, and sal
lied forth into the London fog.
They first visited the British
museum, and spent the morning
among its interesting historical
objects. Its collection of num-
mics the girls found most inter-
esting, and the picture galleries
were visited again and again, as
long as the family stayed in Lon
don.
After lunch they visited the
Tower of London, and, as the
guide narrated the many bloody
deeds that had been transacted
within its walls the girls began
to experience creepy sensations.
The visit held such strong histori-
cal associations that they soon
forgot the present era, and
seemed to be living in the days of
Queen Elizabeth.
1t was late when they finally
reached the torture chamber,
where the guide related many
blood-curdling tales of the royal
prisoners who had been immured
here. They all felt tired out
when they left this gloomy spot
and hurried away to the hotel.
AS they approached the wait
ing cabs Jessie discovered that
she had lost her handkerchief, a
handsome one which she valued
highly. Thinking that she must
have dropped it on the stairs, she
turned and, calling to Mary to
wait for her, ran lightly back
along the way they had come.
Mary turned to explain to her
father, but he had stopped near
the wall to light his cigar, and
Just then her mother called her
to get in the cab with her, and
they drove away.
Complete this story, describing Jes-
sizes adventures alone in the Tower,
her effort to find her handkerchief,
where she discovered it and what cir
cumstances attended her leaving the
party in this way. Describe her moth
ers fright when she realized that Jes-
sic was actually left behind and the
efforts which they had to make to get
poor, frightened Jessie back again.
One prize, a book, will be given in
this contest this week for the best
completed story.

TAFT IN THE SOUTH.

A cartoon in the Philadelphia Rec
ord represents Taft sitting alongside
of the fair damsel Of the South. He
is wearing a big, fat, if not win
ming, smile, while he offers the lovely
maiden by his side a box marked
"Taffy." She is looking in his di-
rection, with an expression that isat
once true to her nature, sociable, and
having a quizzical cast. How the
courtship will end we let Tom Wat
son tell in his trenchant style.
We offer a few words expressive
Of cur intuitive impressions. Taft is
Roosevelt's "heir," and is an actor
in the farce of busting' the trusts,
and the tragedy of Imperialism.
There are certain powerful forces at
work to turn this Government into
an absolute monarchy. The "Repub-
hcan" party is no more republican
than the papal "church" is Chris
tian, and both are in close and natural
alliance to gain this end. In fact, it
already exists except in name, and
none name it but those who know
whence it comes.
Taft is in the South--in Georgia
especially-to organize the forces
which make for plutocratic and papal
aggrandizement. Commercialism has
taken sub a good grip on the South
that the shrewd actors in this tragedy
believe that their special interests
need only a proper care to secure adj
vantages accruing. They think that
Georgia is good stamping ground, be-
cause the corporations and their
tools and slaves can be properly
aligned on their side, and the reform
ers, led by Tom Watson, can be coax
ed or crushed
But we do not believe it. There are
some things which look doleful and
discouraging, but there are hearts
that are yet strong, and arms to
strike the enemies of human liberty
