in this. the little ones. wise from 9TH
er scenes. are smiling at the foibles
of those greater infants whom we are
pleased to call grown people.
The return of Mother Danbury was
source of great wonder to the com
munity. and again tongues few freely
and inquiries were rife. The flying
rumors could not but come to the
ears Of their subject and some OF the
overbold even went so far as to cues
ton her. But they could elicit no
more definite reply than: "Marthy an
the baby was a-gettin' along all right,
an l could do more good at home"
Then she closed her lips.
The voice Of the croaker was de-
cidedly suspicious as she said: Il
smell g rat"
After that Mother Danbury paid no
more visits to Baldwin's Ford. nor
did she speak OF its people unless
she were compelled.
On a morning, though, other news
was brought, and the old lady's indif-
ference fell from her like a cloak.
With fearful eyes she made her way
towards the forbidden place, and as
she stepped into the wagon there
were none who had the heart to be
there and wave a good-by, for the
word said the baby was dying.
She came like an angel of peace to
the stricken household. The widow
was ready for a scene. but firmly and
gently the stronger woman put her
away. She kissed Martha and soothed
her as the hysterical widow could
not do. Then she turned to her son.
Felix" she said. "aint there no
hopper"
No, none"
The Lord giveth an the Lord
taketh away" But she could 90 no
further. An hour later the child
breathed its last in her arms. 1t was
she who bathed it and put it in its
little gown and laid it silent in the
cradle. The widow had no remon.
STRANGE to offer, but she came later
and said: "Oh. Mother Danbury. I'm
afeared it's Judgment was so hard
an Jealous about the pore little cree
ter. I've done wrong, an the Lords
took 1t. Forgive me. forgive mel"
She fell upon her knees. Mother
Danbury lifted her. and her own tears
fell now. You see how little all our
feelin's an wills air compared to
his" she said. The child wasn't ours.
it was his, an he has showed US his
sign"
The afternoon sun stole I'm and
kissed the little. wax-like face as the
old women stood with clasped hands
looking down upon the dead grand
child.

Mexico as a Cattle Country.

Mexico is fast becoming the great
cattle country Of the American CONT
nent. and northern Mexico is the ideal
cattle country OF Mexico" said G. B.
McDermott of Nacozari, who was IN
Houston recently. las the farmers
and sheepmen have forced the cattle
men of the great southwest of the
United States to move their ranges.
they are naturally seeking the most
favorable localities, and northern
Mexico seems to appeal more forcibly
to them than any other section. Cattle
are being moved rapidly into Mexico
from the United States, and the cattle
men OF Mexico are now paying more
attention to their herds than formerly.
with the result that an excellent
quality of beef is being built up In the
republic. Houston Post.

The Marriage Tie In Rusala

In these days of frequent divorce
the Russian peasants are an example
for the most nobly born of any land.
as marriage with them is considered
dissoluble only by death. THE wife
is not shoe that can be cast aside
at WILL" and "The knot is tied; 1t will
not come undone for 100 years." are
two well known proverbs there that
show in their homely wording the rev
erence in which the married state is
held. Nor is intermarrying permitted
until after the fourth degree of kin
ship is reached; the deceased wife's
sister is also barred out When a sen.
aration occurs the husband takes the
boys and the wife the girls.

Wilhelmina's Daughter.

Royal infants are always objects of the
greatest interest to all people. When a
son was born to the King and Queen of
Italy, insuring an heir to the throne, there
were general sincere rejoicings. which
were renewed when a son was born in
the imperial palace at st. Petersburg and
the succession of the Romanoffs was as
sured along the lines Of lineal descent.
Now comes word Of the birth of a daugh-
ter to Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland, who
has always appealed to the world as
young woman of good sense and admir-
able qualities, entitled to universal SYM
pathy for. the weight Of responsibility
thrust upon her by the fact Of her royal
parentage. Today's event at The Hague
has been awaited for some years by the
Dutch people with eagerness. for it has
become politically important that Wilhel-
nina should have an heir. Holland is a
factor of consequence in the European
equation. and the possibility that the
monarch might die without issue has
greatly worried those who hope to see
the status quo remain unchanged. The
news today Is a reinsurance to them, and
at the same time II awakens in the
breasts Of those who have no interest
whatever in the political game abroad
sentiments which are as old as the world
This royal infant will be an object Of
keen interest for a long time.

Florida and Mr.. Bryan.
This Is from Tallahassee:

"The Florida house Of representatives
today adopted q resolution indorsing the
democracy Of the matchless and peerless
leader Of the democratic party, William
Jennings Bryan.
This was in the nature Of a rebuke to
Representative Clark of Florida who re-
Gently criticised Mr.. Bryan In a speech in
Congress.
But why have rebukeds Mr.. Clark's
words and not his act? He did not con-
tent himself in the House with questioning
Mr. Bryan's democracy, but voted as Mr..
Bryan would not have voted. 1t was a
complete challenge both by word and
deed of the matchless and peerless lead
err and one of the principal things for
which he stands.
What is Mr. Bryan's democracy? AS
respects the tariff 1t demands free raw
materials and a lowering OF duties all
along the line. In word. Mr.. Bryan is
opposed to protection. and would II he
could uproot that policy at ar. early day.
But do the democrats Of Florida agree
with him about that? II so. why was not
Mr.. Clark rebuked at Tallahassee spe-
officially for his attitude in favor Of pro-
tecting industries in which Florida is In
terested? His votes in the House on the
Payne bill and the amendments to Ii were
of far more force than all he said about
Mr.. Bryan. The charge that Mr. Bryan
is a populist did not originate with Mr.
Clark Hundreds Of thousands of demo.
