from his arm, and was plucking at
the climbing woodbine leaves which
fringed the railing. But some one
else was speaking, presently, Just in

the window curtains. Norah had not
heard the first words, but the last
caught her attention:
THE Grahame beauty's debut.
What do you say now of Mamma
Grahame's angling for our million
aire, with her dainty morsel of fresh
bait?"
If there were any answer, Norah
did not hear it. And when, after a
pause, she raised her head defiantly,
the shadow was gone from the cur

were two dark ones fixed earnestly
upon her.

There was a puzzled expression in
the eyes bent on her, which presently
gave place to a twinkle of suppressed
amusement; and then to something
softer, as he said.
You are hard on poor Hamilton;
and yet he might care little for his
half million in comparison with a

"Never!" she repeated, with rosy
lips firm set.

Old Ohio Orchards,

The Ohio Agricultural College has

PLANTING Wedding oaks.

Princess August Wilhelm, wife of
the kaiser's fourth son, has set herself
the task of reviving one of Germapy's
oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately af-
ter the marriage ceremony plant a cou-
pie of oak saplings side by side in a
park or by the roadside of their ma
tive town.
The town of Mulchausen, in Thurin-
gia, is the first to respond to the prin-
cess appeal. A municipal official ap-
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in a car
riage to a new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former elector of Brandenburg
with the object of repairing the raw
ages caused by the 80 years war. The
elector forbade young persons to mar.
ry until they had planted number OF
fruit trees.

Mexicans In the Main Unjust In

Of Politeness.

All the Mexican correspondents
who have written on the subject Of

question of a lack of pollteness on
the part of the foreigner here, and in
some cases an ill-concealed contempt.
The latter is inexcusable, and certain

the Anglo-Saxon salutations, methods
of expressing thanks and apprecia-

man who scored the first and only
real knockout over the one-time dur

Despite his sudden leap to fame and

Moran had nothing but praise for
Nelson and cited case to show the
indomitable courage of the veteran
lightweight. During the fight, when
