Apropos Of the "deluSion deep rooted
in the minds of innumerable voters
that a man can only he putting up for
parliament in order to better himself
one way or another and that no sacri-
fee has to be made by the candidate
there is the speech that was mnss hy
Sir Richard Temple. who had returned
poSte haste from his duties in India,
arriving after his own contest had be-
gun. Sir Richard used words to the
following effect, Il have Travelled 5000
miles and surrendered $4,000 year
for the privilege of representing this
great constituency" but the proper
sense of his generosity and public
spirit was entirely marred by a re-
mark from loud voice In the crowd,

DOUBLE SUNSET.
Curious GPe-tae;s Seen at Times In
One spot In Ensland

Curious Gpe-tae;e Seen at Times In
one spot In Enaland.
A very curious astronomical phe-
nomeuon orcurS in the heavens at
certain tine of the year which can be
witnessed ony by standing i'll the par
ish churchyard OF Leek, in Stafford
shire. England.
From that position the top Of a
mountain known as the Cloud breaks
the line of sight and fully intercepts
your view of the setting of the sun.
This mountain is six miles distant, as
the crow flies. from the town OF Leek
and owing TO its peculiar formation
causes the sun when 1t has entered
that sign of the zodiac known as Can
Ger. which happens when we are about
halfway through the year, to produce
the strange effect of setting twice
daily.
The first time that 1t sets the town
sinks into darkness, and the inhab
itants light up their houses and shops
In the usual way. Presently dawn suf
fuses over the town, clear daylight
follows, and artificial lights are put out.
At the second setting OF the sun
darkness sets In for good. This phe
nomenon continues for some days.
The head and shoulders of the dis
tant mountain intervene just at the
juncture when the sun at the first set
ting drops behind the top or head Of
the mountain. There he hides for some
time and emerges again from behind
Just below the head and throws day
light out upon the locality once more,
when he again sinks behind the noun
tain's shoulders and finally sets behind
the horizon.-Stray Stories.

followed. He watched the irregular
shore line the boats, the quaint vii
lagos and towns, the children enjoy
ing their summer playground by the
sea. Then there flashed to view a Bit
of beach. Two girls sat by an old boat
that was half buried In the sand
Their faces were turned toward him;
there upon the canvas, her wistful
eyes gazing straight into his own, was
the lost Evelyn.
He sprang to his feet, then as hur'
riedly reseated himself. The view had
passed, and he doubted the evidence OF
his eyes Had he reached the point
where every pretty face looked like
the girl7 He pulled himself together
He would see the view again
There was no mistake this time
The girl was Evelyn Chester beyond
q doubt Again he allowed the pic,
ture to pass without noticing the face
of her companion. Once more he
waited through the interim.
When the view flashed out he was
rewarded. for the features of the other
girl were decidedly familiar. The face
was not as clear as Evelyn's, but II
was certainly a picture of Claude AyI
mer's sister. Eileen, and the AylmerS
lived in New York. He had not seen
Eileen for two years. but the clew was
worth following up. Bennett left the
place with hope In his heart.
He made some inquiries of the man,
ager of the theater, but the man could
tell him only that the reel was one
sent to the regular circuit and that
the pictures had probably been taken
that summer.
Two days later found Bennett in
New York. He would hunt up Eileen
Aylmer, and IL she were not the girl
In the picture he would seek through
every town on the Massachusetts
coast for news of Evelyn.
The Aylmers were occupying their
cottage on the Hudson, and Bennett
took the first train for their home.
Their cottage lay on the outskirts Of
the village. and few minutes of brisk
walking brought Bennett In sight OF
1t. AS he mounted the steps of the
.a
broad piazza Claude Aylmer pounced
upon him.
"Why, Bennett, old man." he cried,
"how good of you! I thought you
were In the wild and woolly west"
Bennett shook hands.
81 don't want you, Aylmer," he
cried. 81 want your sister"
Great snakes, man. he exclaimed,
don't try any Lochinvar stunt on the
banks of the historic Hudson! Be
sides, Eileen's engaged"
There was an amGsed laugh from a
tall girl In white. who rose from a
hammock and came forward with
hand cordially outstretched. Bennett

willing to die for their cause, as men
have shed their blood in the cause of
liberty. What men have done they
could do, not in a violent bloodshed-
ding way, but by the more lingering
aud romantic process of an empty
stomach. Parliament was expected to
rise as one. man and declare If they

Money and Politics.

In his "reminiscences of Grover Cleve-
land George f. Parker tells a story of
the prodigal expenditures in politics.
A rich man who had been nibbling
at the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor of New York asked William 9.
Whitney's advice. This is the advice:
"Of course you ought to run. Make
your preliminary canvass. aud when
you have put in 100000 you will have
become so much interested in it that
you will feel like going ahead and
spending some money"

The poem that ha% created such a
sensation is enktled The Woman
With the Serpent's Tongue" and the
first verse Is as follows:
She is not old. she is not young,
The woman with the serpents tongue,
The haggard cheek. the hungering eye,
The poisoned words that wildly fly,
The famished face. the fevered hand,
Who Sights the worthiest in the land,
Sneers at the just, contemns the brave
And blackens goodness in its grave.
Many declare that the poem is direct
cd at Mrs. Herbert Asquith wife of
the prime minister of England, but
this the author denies. Other names
of prominent women are mentioned in
this connection, and thus the storm
grows. Another poem in reply to Wat
sons verses was written and publish

TRIBUTE TO GLIDER.
Magazines Appreciation of Poet Who
Was Its Editor.

The Century for January in tribute
to the late Richard Watson Glider. for
twcnty-eight years its editor in chief,
will say:
The Keynote Of his character was 10y
atty. This trait pervaded every relation
of his life like n sustaining and inspiring
atmosphere. To his family and his
friends. to his editorial and other business
associates to his social and civic obliga-
tions and. not least of all. to his art.
which remains his most individual record,
he was loyalty itself. Nor was this
weak or blind impulse of goodness: rath-
er II was a discriminating faculty OF CIV
ing generously what was due to each.
based on his delicate sense OF proportion
and appropriateness. The call of duty
was to him imperative and no man since
James Russell Lowell. at whose death he
seemed to receive n conservation of civic
ardor has more faithfully held up the
highest ideals OF American citizenship.
In this work and in fact. in all the null
ttude of his philanthropic activities his
influence and example have now become
a heritage to his country.
Another note which runs through his
life. his editorial writing and his poetry
a note that deepened with the advance of
years-is that OF personal responsibility.
He felt that institutions were, in the last
analysis merely men and that ours could
be preserved only by the virtue ana al
truism of the individual citizen. The
scorn he felt for those who were willfully
recreant to their political duties was like
that of a soldier for deserter. His hu-
n.illty and self effacement gave sincerity
to his appeals to the best in every one.
He had the keenest sense of noblesse
ohlige, and in all his spiritual and beauti
ful verse there is nothing more expressive
OF the chivalry OF his life than these lines,
the aspiration of which he embodied in
his career:
When TO sleep | must
Where my fathers sleep;
When fulfilled the trust,
And the mourners weep;
When. though free from rust.
Sword hath lost its worth
Let me bring to earth
No dishonored dust.

The Nerve of a Boy.

speaking of the nerve displayed by
small boys said Il man who had
trip through the southwest. reminds
me of an incident that occurred in the
Santa Ana mountains, in southern
California. An eleven-year-old boy, a
member OF family making their way
to the coast. left the camp early one
morning to stalk deer. He found
tracks and had followed them until he
was five or six miles from camp. In
reaching up on rock he disturbed
huge rattlesnake that was summing
himself. and the snake without warn
ing struck. woundlng the boy on the
middle finger of his right hand. Know
ing that unless prompt action was TAX
en- the wound would prove fatal. the
youth placed the finger over the lnuz-
Zle of the gun and pulled the trigger.
Making ligature above the wound to
stop the fiow of blood. he killed the
snake and walked back TO camp, where
he tainted. The finger was blown off
close to his hand. but he recovered."-
