A report comes from Madrid that in

Which suggests strongly that the Spanish
duel is more dangerous than the French.
In France the institution of honor usu-
ally results in the letting of an infini-
tesimal amount of blood from some easily
cured part of the anatomy. There is,
1t is true, much tongue work about the
Franch duel, and it is surprising that
more of the gallants who have met on
the field of personal satisfaction have not
been wounded In that active member.
Possibly If this chance had occurred to

Carlisle As a Statesman


Although John G. Carlisle had taken
no part in political affairs since the
close of Mr.. Clevelands SECOND admin
istraffon he will be remembered as
high minded democratic statesman and
brilliant publicist He was member
of the Kentucky Legislature before and
after the war. and served many years
as a representative in Congress. He
entered the House In 1877 well equipped
for party leadership and his authori-
tative treatment of complex economic
problems won for him national dis
tinction almost from the start. He
was speaker three terms, and in 1890
he was elected United states senator.
In 1893 he resigned his seat in the SEN
ate to accept the position of Secretary
of the Treasury, and in that position.
especially important during the four
years of financial depression. he rem
dered the business interests of the
country service of incalculable value
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle were
in thorough accord on the absorbing
issue of national finance. The Presi-
dent being determined to maintain the
gold standard, Mr.. Carlisle was ready
with voice and pen to present the
question, not as a politician, but hs a
trained statesman. In all the long line
OF those honored with the treasury
portfolio few have equaled Mr.. Carlisle
In economic insight or intellectual
grasp, and none havessurpassed him in
clarity or force of statement
Government finance as science may
be dry to the average mind, but Mr.
Carlisle handled his subject with such
rare skill and such clean-cut logic as

eloquent.
The democratic. party split on the
money policy. Free silver became the
slogan of the majority of western and
southern democrats, but Mr.. Carlisle
! never wayered in his advocacy of gold.
Mr. Cleveland and his Secretary of the
| Treasury lived to see their views AND
their acts indicated. But Mr.. Carlisles
attitude toward the democratic organ
ization in 1897 meant the end of his
public career.
In personal bearing Mr.. Carlisle was
gentle and singularly modest He was
indeed one of, the most lovable of men
and his death will be mourned and his
memory honored.

existed. What with liquidation in stocks
and declining values in commodities and
securities, money goes much further than
six months ago. especially in view of
the shrinkage in volume of business and
speculation.
1.-The market has now had a sharp rally
and on any further advance the taking
of profits would be in order. The big
banking interests are showing more con-
fidence in the future and seem willing to
express their belief in the general sound
ness of the present financial situation,
though not inclined to support any pro-
longed bull movement. In such quar-
tiers the present situation as to the bus
mess and crop outlook is well under
Stood and no disposition is shown to
finance any great stock market activity
until the monetary and political out
look is clarified. So far as Wall street
is concerned the outlook has improved,
and the indications point to much better
market. Securities bought on conserva-
tive lines are likely to prove profitable
investments. Stocks have suffered a
shrinkage of nearly ST. 1000 100000 during the
past six months and are fairly entitled to
a substantial recovery"

Our Oldest Railroad

The first rails of the Baltimore and
by Charles Carroll, the last surviving
signer III the Declaration of sIndepend-
ence. Before 1928 three or four short
lines had been constructed, but these
short roads were of small value. The
Baltimore & Ohio was the true beginner
of the modern system of railroads in this
country, and 1t was speedily followed by
the Mohawk and Hudson, the South Car
DINA, the Camden and Amboy, the Itaca
and Oswego and. the Lexington and Ohio
At the close of the year 1880 ninety-two
mines had been built, and 463 miles pro-
jected or under construction. Among
the short lines was one at Muscle
Shoals. But none Of them had an eye
to a long through line except the Balti-
more & Ohio and it was begun before
the experiments with the rocket by Rob-
ert Stephenson, Jr., newphew of George
Stephenson, had been completed.
In 1910 there were but 2,sl6 miles Of
railroad in this country as compared with
2so, os4 miles in 1909, not including sec
ond tracks and sidings to the extent Of
103,ss1 miles.
But before the date of the centenary
comes in 1927 or 1928 the days of steam
will have been numbered, and electricity
will have supplanted all the work Of
Stephenson and his long and skllful line
of successors.

TO MARY IN HEAVEN

BY Robert Burns. ~
Thou lingering star, with lessenipg ray
Again thou usherst In the day
My Mary from my soul was torn. )
Oh Mary! dear departed shade! Z
Where Is thy place Of blissful rest7
see'st thou thy lover lowly laid?
Hearst thou the groans that rend his
breast?
That sacred hour can forget
Can forget the hallowed grove.
Where by the winding Ayr we met
To live one day of parting love?
Eternity will not efface
Those records dear of transports past;
Thy image at our last embrace;
All! little thought we twas our last!
Ayr, gurgling, kissed his pebbled shore,
O'erhung with wildwoods, thickeping
green;
The fragrant birch, and hawthorn boar,
Twined amorous round the raptured
scene;
The flowers sprang wanton to be prest.
The birds sang love on every spray
TILL soon, too soon, the glowing west
Proclaimed the speed OF winged day.
Still DER these scenes my memory wakes,
And fondly broods with miser care!
Time but the impression stronger makes.
AS streams their channels deeper wear.
My Mary, dear departed shade!
Where ia thy. place of blissful- rest?
seest thou thy lover lowly laid?

extremely novel and ingenious, they

which, by the way, cost s11,500, the
usual bonnet is covered by the enor-
nous figure of a swan, the eyes of
which are composed of prism lenses,
which are lit up at night by electricity.
The beak is made so that the exhaust

American Congress is now sitting there
is an inclination to discuss it. Some
desire to render it a Pan-American dec
laration, while some Of the delegates are
included to oppose it altogether. The
question will not however be brought up
at Buenos Ayres unless a majority can
be mustered to support a given policy.
1t is altogether improbable that the
North American doctrine will be turned
into Pan-American doctrine which would
bind all the Americas to fight any ag-
erosion in this hemisphere of an Euro
pean power. The proposed change would
not be wise, for it would call for Pan
American action which might be slow
and never efficient. The subject may be
discussed. but 1t will not probably be
adopted at Buenos Ayres.
The Monroe doctrine was adopted when
this country protested against any at
tempt by the Holy Alliance-Russia, Aus
tria, France and Prussia-to reinstate
Spain in the revolted colonies of South
America This was in 1920, and in 1923
President Monroe broadened the doctrine
and it has served the republics to the
south of US well ever since. It should
be left as it is, and no doubt this will
be where it will stand when the Pan

GARDEN IN THE ORIENT

From Hldegrade Hawthorne's "a Gar
den of the Heart" in August Century.
garden does not necessarily mean
a collection. of flowers arranged more
or less symmetrically with spaces of
lawn, shelter of trees. and paths hither
and thither. There have been gardens
that, beyond a terra-cotta jar or two
holding a rosebush or a lowering al
mond, have had no green thing with
in their gates. I know of an Oriental
garden. in Fec where white garmented
Moors come insthe cool of the evening
to sit and listen to ancient stories that
they know by heart, or to music that
was old when the pyramids were new,
or perhaps to look at dancing girl
or two taking soft steps while they
smoke their narghiles; yet that gar
den is nothing more than series of
arches unfolding walls beyond walls.
toned a faint, mysterious yellow that
is not yellow, but white, and yet not
white, but rose. In the middle is a
pool of water in a stone basin that
| looks blue because of the intense sky
overhead, and that shimmers with gold
en- reflections from the walls In cor
ner stands mighty jar full OF strange,
scarlet blossoms, and rugs of deep color
and intricate pattern lie on the SUM
warmed flags. There is always the
fairy music of dropping water, and
wonderful shadows move> among the
arches
! This place Is a garden for all that 1t
lis SO builded of man. The word court
will not do for It, 1t may be that a
garden, as has been said of Boston, Is
less a material thing than a state of
mind. The story of the Garden of
Eden seems to hint at something of the
sort; and had we all permission to
create an Eden of our own, doubtless
these would vary as greatly as do the
secret desires of every heart, the inner
| life of every~soul. If, therefore, in
Lspeaking of garden, one pictures
something that to another may not ap-
pear to conform strictly to the term,
what matter? II the garden spirit Is

true believer, who is always seer.
