by the counsel on both sides, cover
ing in their range the history OF the
general government from its organiza-

morning. The jury retired and In a

the following verdict:
I'VE find that to charge a man with
being Federalist Is libellous, and We

GRANTS POOR MARK.

Major-General Frederick D. Grant,
the eldest son OF President and Gen
eral u. s. Grant, was not long ago a
guest at dinner given by certain
college and school teachers. The chair
man rose TO introduce him. He had
hunted up an old story about the
Grant family, and was much pleased
with himself that he had something
SO interesting to say.
When Fred Grant was boy at
West Point" he began, his father,
the famous general. wrote to the COM
mandant inquiring how the SON was
progressing.
You need not worry the CON-
mandant wrote back. Your son is
getting better marks In everything
than ever you had in anything"
The gentleman was not quite so
self-satisfied when General Grant rose
TO respond.
THAT is a perfectly true story" he
said smilingly. Il remember the Incl
dent perfectly, but there is mistake
of one generation. I, and not my fam
GUS father, am the general who wrote
to the commandant: and my son is
the one whose father had such poor
marks. But never mind, Mr.. Chair
man, it's all in the family."-Christian

The explanation by Mr.. Taft OF his
unhappy course as to the tariff was,
frankly, that he did the best he could
with the men In control of his party.
Recent events show that this course
involved two serious errors. One was
the abandonment of his own and his
party's distinct pledges at the bid
ding OF leaders who seemed to him
at the time to control the party. The
other was the assumption that Aid
rich, Cannon, Payne, and the rest
really did possess such control. On
the one hand, had Mr.. Taft stood to
his own word and his party's word,
had he insisted on duties based on
difference of cost at home and abroad,
he would have won the confidence and
respect OF the great body OF the Amer
lean people, who like courage and
loyalty. On the other hand, II Is low
plain that he would have got what he
demanded. The progressive Republi-
cans, sneered at last summer as "in-
surgents," who insisted that they rep
resented the people OF their states
and that the people would back them,
have made good.

This whole blue, breezy afternoonl
For so do all Young Ladies'.
Come. POLL come, Bet! Escaped from
school,
Wen wade across the shadows cool
or Roaring Tom and Silver Pool.
And climb the pines of Randall.
Far up the mountain path well go.
And leave the Raven Rocks below,
And creep inside the caves OF snow,
To hear their echoes thunder!
Let briers scratch, let brambles tear
Our oft-patched frocks-we shall not
care:
Green are the woods, and fresh the air >:
Then who would be a Young Lady ?
