BILE"
She smiled at the phrasing, but felt
that it would never do TO triie with a
true affection. no matter how lowly
the station of the man by whom it
was honestly offered. SO she drew
somewhat aloof in her manner, but he
grew only the more devoted. He was
her humble slave. He tried to fulfill
her wishes before she could utter
them. He would walk miles to do her
errands or bring her bundles. His
constant services spoke more than
words. but he often assured her that:
"You be the pleasingest girl that
ever come out of New York"
1t was difficult for him to realize
that she really needed no assistance
now He was ready to lend his strong
arms to carry her over every rough
place that met her feet. reminding her
that
THE last time | never could permit
you to walk there-no. never, never!
1t was very touching sometimes and
very amusing always. And the little
girl and her friend were full Of youths
high spirits, fun and laughter
So the weeks went by-all too rapid
ly-and at last the end came.
The day before the departure of the
girl Johnnie had labored hard and
seemed to find constant movement
and work necessary for ease of mind.
He had strapped the trunk and locked
her valise and in his rough way had
done everything of which he could
think which might add to her comfort.
The girl was very shy when with him
and tried to keep her friend ever
present. feeling that some confession
of affection impended and being very
sorry and pitiful for the pain she
might be obliged to infict. At last by
some inadvertent chance they were
left alone together

France on the
School Issue
Premier BRAND Says Nation Will
Never Take Orders from the
Outside.

PARIS, Oct. s1.--M. BRAND. the premier,
in an eloquent discourse last night at the
dedication OF the home of the Educational
league. at which President Fiallieres and
several Of the ministers were present, an
nounced that one OF the COVER Sment's prin-
cipal occupations would be the protection
Of the public schools, whose enemies We're
the real enemies OF the republic.
He counselled the people to be calm
under attacks, as he was convinced that the
countrys enemies we're setting trap and
hoped to win over public opinion through
excesses OF passion and anger at the de
tenders of the public schools. Pointing
out that the last struggle with the church.
but against those who pretended to direct
the church, NJ BRAND declared that
France will never obey orders from the
outside. and that Catholic France. which
does not view religion as the instrument
OF a political propaganda. never will per-
init the exercise OF brutal force against
public institutions to which the nation is
dedicated
THE public schools" he continued "are
the hope OF the future security OF France.
and II their enemies succeed IN undermln-
ing the schools. It Is the republic itself
which will be weakened. The government
will strive to secure adequate laws. but
the support and defense OF the people win
be most efficacious."

~The District Lcader.-

The show that is going to set the town talking, singing and whistling is The District Leader" which comes to the Elks Theater tonight. "The District Leader" had it's first produc- tion at Wailack's Theatre, New York, and is a pleasing evenings entertain
 nent of the light variety, and vii! greatly outciass many of the pro- ductions that have been more copious- fly heralded and more highly ac- claimed.
 The story Of "The District LeaIer" Is an internixture of malo-drama. comedy and comic opera, with viva cious bunch of show girls. which combination produces happy effect. The melodraunatic strain without the chorus girls and the ear tickling 1nus- !cal numbers might prove depressing, but the occasional introduction of these lessons the seriousness of the plot, when the opportunity for a
 heroic situation presents itself and the tragic ensemble gives way to the joy ous show girls and the catchy music.
 Dan Lawton and Tim Ho!loran are rivals for political honors. The young CT man is in love with his opponents daughter. The father of the girl re- sorts to dishonest tactics in endea- vor!ng to secure his election, the plan being to inyeigie his daughters lover to an opium joint and then cause 6 raid upon the place, having the story printed in the newspapers on the morning of election day, and thereby cause his opponents downfall, all of i which gives ample opportunity for melo-dramatic effects, many changes ; of scenes and a variety of costumes. Tho District Leader" may well be called a novelty" for it introduces many things that are really new. Among the song hits of the piece arg When you go out to Dine,' Way Down in Jersey" "so", "A Heart to Let" Sing Sing Sammy Sem, 1 Whats the Use of Dreaming Wont
 You be my Girlie?" and "The Same
