The quarrel may be of an unfor-

ones very constitution to forget 1t,
but If the said man and woman of
the quarrel learn to understand, they
viii never play the sad roles of charac-

once or twice year which makes
him popular man among the mem
bers who are fortunate enough to en-
JOY his hospitality. He Is member
Of the board of managers for the
National Soldiers Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers in Tennessee. He
was elected to that Office by Con-
gress, and since Mr. Brownlow is a
member of the House committee on
appropriations, the active manager of
the home has very wholesome IL
gard for the ability Of Mr. Brownlow
to produce each year a liberal ap-
preparation.
Partly because of his office and
partly because of his influence with
the appropriations committee, the Of
ficials at the home find 1t conven-
lent to reserve suite of rooms for
MIR. Brownlow. Mr.. Brownlow loves
to spend his spare time among the
old soldiers He also loves to get APP
preparations which keep the home up
to date at all times. Hence there
are cows. chickens and other animals
on the farm which are requisitioned
from time to time to provide din
ners, There also is a well stocked
fish pond. the fish being provided, in
the first instance, through the infIu-
ence of Mr.. Brownlow with the gov
eminent fish hatchery officials.
Therefore. when he takes mis- con
gressional friends down to the Sol
dters, Home he permits them to GO
out and catch their own fish When
they tire of that diet he allows them
to pick out the particular chicken
they would like to have for dinner.
and If the stay is to be prolonged they
can select their bacon. hams and pork
chops from among the likely looking
pigs.

On the day President Taft left for
Chicago and New York, to be gone

custom for long time. Things SEEM

while.

Ade.ia leaned against the rugged
trunk of the old tree, her white, out
stretched arm cleaning against the
brown bark. Her eyes were shining
like twin stars and her breath came in
little gasps.
"What--what do you WANT" she
found courage to ask. after another
painful silence.
There was a moments hesitation.
and then: II placed note in here
fifteen years ago." he began lamely.
"well7"

gruffiy, his hold on her hand tighten
ing cruelty.
You are hurting my hand" she said
with a little cry.
You hurt my heart fifteen years
ago" retorted Melvin stubbornlyy.
After long silence Adelias voice
came family over the hedge. II. too,
placed "A note there-fifteen years
| ago. and"
"And?" aueried Mr.. Taylor
Il never received q reply to my note"
''The--dickensI" Mr.. Taylor whis-
pered softly. II never got it. Adelia
| Do you mean to say you never got
note from me the day after
after we quarreled."
II never received any word from
you Adelia's voice was +tremulous
now, as she added: III you will re-
lease my hand
He relaxed his hold, reluctantly
and Adelia slipped down in "A crum
pied heap in the soft turf at the foot
! OF the apple tree.
GO. Adelia." he said gently. 1T is
too late for me to offer you any
apology for my long silence; | wrote
you a letter, asking your forgiveness

earth to try and forget my folly.
His voice regained It's bitterness
There was long silence after that.
IL am here, Melvin. said Adelia,
family.
May j come over?' he asked in
a strange voice.
Yes" she said softly, but not so
softly that his eager ears did not
catch the longed-for words.
Presently he was beside her. the
old boyish smile on his lips. the Old
love-light In his eyes, the old hap
piness in his face.
Adeiia flushing rosily, leaned for
support against the apple tree ano
her downcast eyes dared not meet his
questioning ones.
..wiH you forgive me, Adelta go he
asked holding out his arms.
"If you will forgive me. too" she
said sweetly. turning a radiant face
up to him.
And then she came TO him. all her
snrrows stiilaa, all her happiness re-
stored ten~foid because Of the pain
she had endured.
Overhead, the April sky was cloud
less, underfoet the green grass wa:
starred with dandeiions; there In ths
shade of the beloved old apple tree
Adelia's youth came back TO her. with
happiness and love and all the OLD
ideals.

Roosevelt Would
AUOidMOre Talk

ROME. April 5-The chief mater
ial development in the Roosevelt
vatican incident today was Mr.. Roose-
velts reputation of an attempt of
the Methodist organization here to in
,terpret his action as an endorsement
of its work.
This reputation took the form of
calling off a reception to the MEM
bers of the American colony. which
was to have been held tomorrow night
at the embassy and it resulted di-
rectly from the issuance of state
ment yesterday by the Rev. B. M. Tip
pie pastor Cd the American Methodist
church. in which he severely arraign-
ed the Roman Catholic church.
Mr. Roosevelt continues to depre-
cate, in the most vigorous fashion, the
fierce religious tumult caused by the
incident, which he regards as per-
sonal to himself, and continues en-
tireiy confident that his countrymen,
Catholic as well as Protestant, when
the facts IN the case are clearly and
dispassionately examined, will sustain
his position.
When the vatican statement, liken-
cur in Germany if he visited the Pol
ish Separatists after seeing the en-
peror, was called to Mr.. Roosevelt's
attention, he said:
If the German emperor would place
as condition to an audience that
should not see the Poles. [ should
make a similar reply: Upon that
condition / shall be compelled to fore
go the pleasure of an audience.
Catholics Censure Vatican.
A phase of the situation attracting
more and more attention here is the
opinion disapproval of the vatican's
action by numerous Catholics. This
is not confined to laymen, but ex-
tends to the hierarchy and then tt
the sacred college itself. Some Of the
cardinals have privately expressed
dissent from action that places thu
church in position in any way hos
tile to Mr.. Roosevelt.

NEGROES KILL TWO
Mob of Irate Blacks Shoot and Hang
Negro Man and Woman Charged
With Murder.

KEO, Ark, April "a mob of heav-
lily armed negroes, residents of this
Clone Oak) county, shot to death and
then hanged two members, man and
a woman, of their own race at late
hour last night. The mob's victims
were Frank Pride aged so and Laura
Mitchell, A, both charged with the
murder Of the Mitchell woman's hus-
band. whose body was found buried in
Pride's yard.
Pride and the Mitchell woman were
placed under arrest and had been bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury. They We're being escorted to
Jail here by Constable Mallory when the
party was overtaken by the mob of
negroes. The Mitchell woman's hus-
band had been missing since December

it was found he had been murdered.
