beyond me. 1t seemed to me that the
fate of Sapphire would bring blessed
relief. However, when learned that
he was going on to Philadelphia I
took courage and even found my head
again in talk of books and plays and
his life in New Mexico ranch. Just
before he left the train he thanked
me for speaking to him and said he
felt it to be only square to Fred
Thompson to say that was mistaken
in calling him by that name, but that
he was an old chum of Fred's and the
resemblance had many times led to
complications. But as he spoke,
Josephine, in some mysterious fashion
all likeness to Fred seemed to fade
first Prom, and also on the Paris
our first day out, but that circum.
stances over which, etc., had pre-
vented his appearing on deck again.
He apologized for not telling me
sooner, but said he noticed we were
of much interest to the ladies oppo-
site and he did not want to risk en-
barrassing me. He added: There
was some selfishness in it too, for I
was greatly enjoying our talk, Mrs.
Garrett, and you never had any time
for me before" He was gone before
had asked his name.
Leave out the moral of this tale,
dear Josephine. I am punished
enough, For this man was on his
way to meet Fred Thompson, who
sailed from England last week. He
will hear that I am married. Only
tell me the mans name-for in that
clear brain of yours every memory
will not only have it's proper place
but be in it. Oh, for tidy mind!

PAULINE.
Buffalo, Feb. 8, 19-.
Your letter, my dear Pauline, was
not uninteresting. Undoubtedly your
partner in deception was Gorge Gar
rett. No wonder he forgot Fred's way
of smiling when you announced your
husbands name! l remember him
well, because we sat out several
dances at the Prom. He never cared
| to dance, and you always refused tc
| do anything else. l met him again al
| Carlsbad and we spoke of you and
of Fred, who was certainly hard hit
How long ago it all seems! Psycholo

than you can imagine. The baby O.
your romance sends you a kiss.

TRUE TO THEIR INSTITUTIONS
Unchanging Character of the Saxon
Race as Evinced Throughout
the Centuries.

This tribe of Saxons had, by acct
dent or wise leadership, happened
upon the very country best suited to
them. A fertile island, cut off from
the rest of the world and with room
for ALL SO that each one might, with
his family, have a kingdom Of his own.
This, with as little machinery of gov
eminent as possible and yet all ready
to combine as equals in self-defense.
But as they made their land product
i've, as they became rich, they became
the prey of other peoples from north
western Germany and what is now the
Scandinavian peninsula and were
forced to defend their possessions
and their customs against Angles,
Danes and Normans.
1t is a curious feature of the abid-
ing, unrelenting purpose of these Sax
ons to govern themselves and to be
let alone that, though they were con-
quered in turn by Angles, Danes and
Normans, they swallowed up all three
in the end and imposed their customs,
their language, their habit of mind
and their institutions upon each of the
invaders in turn. They would have
nothing to do with the half-developed
feudalism of Angles and Danes, nor
with the full-developed feudalism Of
William the Conqueror and his follow.
ers. The conqueror claimed that the
land was his and that every holder OF
land owed fealty to him personally.
It took about 100 years for the Saxon
idea to prevail over the feudalistic
notion, and the result was magma
charta. The magma charta wrested
from King John by the barons was in
reality the shaking of personal allie.
glance to a chieftain by the Norman
barons, aided by the Saxon gentry,
who had finally imbued them also
with their own love of independence
and free government. They insisted
then, and have maintained ever since,
that they derived their rights, their
liberties and their laws not from q
king, but from themselves. In the
days of William the Conqueror their
king was elective, though chosen from
the reigning house. AS late as 1888
the commons voted that King James
had abdicated and that the throne was
vacant! They chose their own rulers,
and no doubt would do so again to-day
If necessary. 1t is much too long a
story to go, step by step, through the
recital of this development. 1t con.
Germs us here only to note these un.
changing characteristics of the race,
maintained and strengthened through
centuries of war, tunault and conquest,

Bankers Greeted at Pierre, S. D., by
Money Show.

Pierre.-Thc American Exchange
Bank of this city put as one Of the
decorations for the bankers conven-
ton what is probably the most valu-
able decoration ever shown in the
state. 1t was built entirely of gold
coins and formed the word "Welcome"
in large letters. The device was about
ten feet long and two feet wide, the
border being five and ten dollar pieces
and the letters of twenties. It is set
in the window Of the bank.
The bankers took an excursion or
the river to the buffalo pasture and
had picnic dinner on the island.

Needless Alarm.

When Prof. Percival Lowell in q lee
ture on the ultimate destruction Of
the solar system, had aroused his au.
dience to dismay at the prospect Of
the total obliteration Of the human
race and ali its records he said their
instructive sorrow over the distant
cataclysm was akin to the maternal In
stinct Of a certain shop girl.
Somebody rushed into the store
where she was employed and shouted
out: Mamma! Mamma! Your lit

BRIDGE GOES OUT
WITH The WATER WATER
PEOPLE WEST OF THE MISSOURI
ARE CUT OFF FROM SUPPLIES
EACH YEAR.
DEMAND new STEEL BRIDGE
Petitions Circulated Asking MiIwau-
keee Road to Replace Pontoon
Bridge With a New Steel One.

Mitchell.-People living west of the
Missouri river have become dissatis-
fed with the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad on account of not
placing permanent bridge across the
river at Chamberlain.
Ever since the pontoon bridge was
established at Chamberlain it has
been swept away in the spring and
summer. either by the ice going out
In March or by the June rise. It has
been regular thing, and the people
west of the river have been unable
to get freight, supplies running short,
causing more or less suffering.
The bridge is out usually from two
to three weeks during each season Of
the year.
Last year dozen petitions were
started for circulation between Cham
berlain, to include all towns to Rapid
City, directed to the state railroad
commission, petitioning it to "use all
honorable means possible in bringing
about and compelling the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad COM
pany to construct, erect, establish and
maintain a permanent steel bridge at
point where said road crosses the
Missouri river at Chamberlain, S. D.,
for the reason that from three to six
times year the wooden bridge now
in use by said company is torn out,
caused by floating ice and high water,
which puts all freight traffic out of
commission for a period of ten days
to one month; that even when the
wooden bridge is in use for all pur-
poses that it is even then unsafe and
dangerous to the lives and limbs of
all persons crossing the same on the
trains of said company for the reason
that the bridge is always in a more
or less dilapidated condition, that it
may collapse at any time with train
load of people while crossing the
same.

Dear Josephine: I cannot stop to
write the thank YOU I said In all
sincerity yesterday, for my fingers
are tingling to tell you a tale of adj
venture. had expected to enjoy the
scenery of the Lehigh Valley, but an
hour after we left Buffalo my eyes
hurt from the glare of the snow and,
foolishly enough, l started to read,
which gave me Wretched headache.
Suddenly realizing the forlorn pros
pect of the long journey ahead of me,
looked with despair at the doing
old lady opposite and her hopelessly
plain daughter, my only companions
in the car. You must remember all
this, and also that am younger than
you and have not devoted husband
and baby to sober me!
My only hope was Wilkesbarre. l
eagerly scanned the platform, for
had quite made up my mind that
someone knew would board the train
there. Suddenly my heart leaped in
way appropriate to my coming out"
year,--a tall man with the well-re-
membered Princeton walk was COM
ing towards the train. Erred Thomp-
son!" thought. 1t is amusing how
futtered one may still be after ten
years. AS he came into the car our
eyes met. and I doubted-no, knew
1t could not be; his eyes were-well,
they were not Freds! l suppose there
is nothing eXtravagantly sentimental
IN remembering the color of ones
first lovers eyes? But Josephine, as
I looked into his face it lighted up
with an expression of recognition. To
this minute I don't know what pos
sessed me, but in second it was done.

"That is always a woman's priv
ilege and sometimes even duty, but
surely you know 1 could not forget
you" 1t was certainly Fred's slow,
three-cornered smile, as we used to
call it, his voice, his manner to the
