employed her time porting over her les
sons for the next day or solving some
difficult problem which had confused the
class during recitation.
And 1t had not occurred to any OF the
high school class to bestir themselves till
q short time before the closing day OF
school. Then, suddenly, one day Harriet
Gray decided that she would love to be
valedictorian of the graduating class. She
had played much of the time during the
eight months of school, and when only
four weeks more remained for prepare
tion she realized that unless some one OF
the class awakened to energetic work the
valedictory would be read by Beatrice
Finch. And this fact alone was quite
enough to rouse Harriet. In the first
place she-Harriet-moved a grade higher
IN the social life than did Beatrice, for
the formers parents were rich, while the
latter was of a very poor family. In the

Beatrice had gone to her own room to put
the finishing touches on her commence
ment frock-a simple white lawn made by
her mother. but which was left for Bea-
trice to trim with some bows OF white
ribbon. The valedictory had been be-
slowed upon her, for, in spite OF Harriet's
endeavor to get it, she had dropped second
to Beatrice in the final examination. And
when the teacher had announced that
Miss Beatrice Finch was appointed vale
dictorian Harriet had gone to her and
offered her congratulations. II am so

But the evening before the COM
mencement exercises Beatrice was much
surprised when her mother called her to
come down, that Miss Gray was calling.
And when she ran down she was still
more surprised to see that Harriet carried
a long box in her arms.
Beatrice, have come to ask great
favor Of you,'' began Harriet. "As
token of friendship, and to assure me that
you have forgiven me for my ugly con-
duct toward you. I want you to accept
this commencement frock. Mamma had 1t
made for me to wear should I be voted

clared enthusiastically. And from my

Richmond Times Dispatch: When
the Sixty second congress convenes it
will contain but three members who
have hitherto served in a democratic
house presided over by a democratic
speaker. These are the Hon. j. F. c..
Talbot, of Maryland; the Hon.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, and the
Hon. William A. Jones, of Virginia.
Young, indeed, will seem other
members in point of service when
compared with this trio of survivors
of a former democratic house. 1t
would not be surprising if one of
them became the next speaker. The
fact that these three alone are left
indicates striking how long it has
been since the democrats passed out
of power
