Identification with the worship of any

who can personally pursue a Grim

the world in the visible glory of the

IN MEMORIAM.
An Appreciation of the Late Ex-Presi-

An Appreciation of the Late Ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland.
I The qualities which made Presi-
lent Cleveland a powerful element in
the life Of the nation, one of our exc
cutives of highest accomplishment
and influence, have been appreciated
more and more widely during his lat
er years, and were generously ex-
pressed by opponents as well as by
| allies on the occasion of his death.
| In addition to this, there has been
| a growing sense of the disinterestef-
ness of his character and of the deep
sincerity of his patriotism. He had
try in the public service, his frank
ness, dauntless bravery and complete
incorruptibility, become accepted
standards of comparison as to polits
cal aspirants and public servants. To
! say of public man that he had some
Of the sturdy traits of Cleveland has
long been valued form of praise.
Then. too, there has been genuin.
appreciation of the quiet dignity OF
bearing, in retirement, Of one who
was for years the country's only ex-
President. The sorrow at his death
was sincere and widespread, and was
far from being confined to those who
had been his political supporters; the
country was felt to have lost great
conservative force, personality that
told for judgment. steadfastness and
a profound sense of public duty. The
impression of his character and ca
reer extended to foreign nations, and
found expression in the tributes of the
world.
To the circle of his personal
friends Mr.. Cleveland stood for all the
great qualities from which grew his
distinguished acts; but in private life
he was so different man from what
many imagined the stern, courageous
statesman to be, that it will probably
be long before all the lineaments Of
his portrait will be familiar to his
fellow-countrymen. He who could
stoutly resist private appeal and pub
lie clamor, when duty and conscience
were involved, was one Of whom 1t
might be said that he had genius
for championship. The sweetness, the
gentleness, the tenderness, of strong
nature, are things that must be seen
hear to be thoroughly understood,
aud, which thus seen, have very
great and poignant attraction.
There is a distinct vacancy In our
public life when towering person
atty such as ex-President's dis
appears from view. and generations
may pass before just such a figure
looms again. But when man like
| Grover Cleveland-the neighbor, the
camranion. the friend-passes away,
there is a void in many hearts that
can never, in this life, be filed again.

SAUNDERS.
Son OF Strategy

Saunders. son of Strategy, did no;
risk giving affront by seeming to flirt
with the girl In the Pullman section
ACROSS the way. She did not look like
. girl who would permit Irritation
in any shape or form.
She would probably call the porter
or appeal to the male passengers and
brig him into disgrace; a disgrace
which would be fatal to his plans. In
stead, he fingered behind when the
girl went into the diner for luncheon
and copied off the address of the L.
bel pasted on her suit case.
1t was the sight of the label which
had induced him to cast aside schemes
more rash, for he argued that curios.
jty would lead the girl to read to its
~e4G a letter. when she would not lis.
ten t. the completion of the first
sentence of a verbal approach.
Anyone knowing Saunders would
realize that he was very much in love
from the fact that he was at all inter-
ested in the girl across the aisle.
She was no more attractive than a
score of young women whom Saund-
ers had adroitly lodged. Her brown
hair was no more sleekly soft than
the tresses of MAZDA Vance. her eyes
M more mildly soft than the soulful
~nJibs Of Bess Burton, nor her COM
.plexion more clear than the olive tints
of yirgie Masterson's. 1t was her
glorious ensemble which had so APP
pealed to Saunders and had caused
him to assure himself that Miss Mari
eta ,'anson, Of Claverly, was the
most beautiful woman he had even
seen.
For years Saunders had foiled the
matchmakers and the maids with il
skill which had won for him the
nickname Saunders, son of Strategy.
The debutants of a dozen seasons had
smiled upon him without eliciting
more than a non-committal smile in
return, but now Saunders had been
bowled completely over by young
woman Of whom he knew nothing
more than her address.
He had left the train before the
girl returned. but he carried with him
a Photographic memory. It lent in
SEPARATION to his pen in the compost
ton OF letter in which he besought
her to grant him the favor Of her
acquaintance.
1t was a tactful letter as befitted
q son Of Strategy. 1t sounded ex-
actly the proper note of respectful
admiration It revealed discreetl'
the fact that he was well to do, cul-
tured anc man Of standing, it hint
ed delicStely Of the mass OF COM
mandatory reference an inquiry might
evoke and closed with an apology for
the liberty he took. liberty which
found justification only in the charm
OF the recipient.
Having thus shifted the blame to
Miss Manson's slender shoulders,
Saunders subscribed himself respect
fully hers, and personally deposited
the letter In the box.
The next few days were spent in a
fever Of alternate hope and despair.

teachers, and is the very best training
for those who are looking forward to
the work of teaching.
The debate in the Preparatory the
last Of the term settled the question Of
Protection and Free Trade in favor Of
Protection, apd it also brought out the
fact that children like the subject Of
Civics when it is taught in this practi-
cal way. There are twelve weeks in
the spring given to the study Of Civics,
and they are taking up the study along
the lines approved by the best educators
of the day. The children are becoming
very much interested in the actual

used as references to settle disputed
points. In this way they learn not only
the main points i'll the constitution, but
they see the practical working Of the
government under the constitution.
They are being trained for citizenship.
They are trying the somewhat unusual
method Of doing the work without the
aid Of text book, which means extra
