A Memorial to Cleveland.

Both Democrats and Republicans are
contributing literally to the fund that

memorial to Grover Cleveland, the only
Democratic president of the United
States since the retirement of Buchan-
an in 1861. 1t is proposed to build a
tower on the grounds Of Princeton uni
versity, In the town where the express
ident lived from his final retirement
until his death. The Cleveland memo
rial tower will be both ornamental and
useful II built according to the archi-
tectural plans submitted. 1t will form
q part Of one of the new university
buildings.
OF the twenty-five men now dead
who have occupied the presidential
chair only twelve have been honored
with monuments. Cleveland will be
the thirteenth president so honored.
The others to whom memorials have
been erected are Washington, John
Adams. Jefferson. Jackson. the two
Harrisons, Lincoln, Hayes. Grant, Gar

Of the presidents are buried in obscure
places, with very modest headstones to
mark their graves.
Grover Cleveland occupies unique
place in American history. Perhaps no
president while in office was more Sc
verely denounced from many quarters
than he. Even after his ultimate re-
tirement he was the target for shafts
OF abuse for some years. but he had
the satisfaction before he died Of
knowing that partisan rancor and per
sonai bitterness had died away and
that the nation accepted him as an ex-
ecutive of ability, fidelity and high
| aims.

Mr.. Plnchot Again.


What has happened to the amend
ments to the agricultural appropriation
bills that were so vociferously de-
nounced by Clifford Pinchot in his
speech at the Lumber Dealers associa.
ton meeting in Washington March 2 :?
Mr.. Pinchot adjured his hearers to pro-
test to the conferees, Senator Warren of
Wyoming and Representative Scott of
Kansas against the amendments. The
first amendment offered by Senator Hey
burn of Idaho provided in substance
that all land on which there is growing
less than 1000 feet of merchantable
timber in contiguous acres shall be ex-
cluded from the national forests and
will exclude, according to Mr.. Pinchot,
from the national forests, millions of
acres Of land.
With his usual impetuosity, born
probably of an association with an i'm
petous chief, Mr.. Pinchot brings down
upon the devoted heads of Senators
Hey and Carter the wrath of au in
spired prophet. Aside from the pre-
sumption that these western senators
have the best interests of their states
and the national domain at heart as
fully and as intellisently as has
Mr.. Pinchot, it must be pointed out,
somewhat regretfully to be sure, that
Mr.. Pinchot is regarded pretty widely
as sentmentalist.
Now there is nothing the matter with
being sentimentalist of the woodman.
spare that-tree sort, provided that rea-
son may accompany sentiment, and pro-
vided that such undoubted energy aud
ideals as are possessed by Mr.. Pinchot
may not be misdirected.
Speaking of Pinchot, a man of brains,
public spirit, courage and capital said
ale has done much good in the forestry
line, and though he has invented no,
thing new--for plenty of people have
been cutting their woods in the fashion
that he wants them cut-still he deserves
much credit tor arousing public atten-
ton. x x But he has done an
other thing which | hold to be very
detrimental to the public interests
namely, string up one set of men
against another and infaming the public
mind with dislike, distrust and even
hatred of the corporations. 1t would
not take much to prevent the men WHO
have earned and kept their money f,ou
transferring it to other countres-as fol
instance Canada-or putting it in bank
or in bonds and refusing to develop an,

 That sounds as if you didn't like her," said Selma swiftly.
 1T could have done without her." replied Jem slowly. But rather think her coming has been a. good thing for all of us. We wanted shak- ing up a bit.''
 "Yes, don't we?" eagerly said the young girl. "I hope we shall have fun together this summer. Oh, I do wish I was eighteen; Miles is so fussy and maiden-auntish about me, he won't have house-party except of stuffy relations, no men are to be asked, because I am not out and # is awkward to have a hostess who is not out. I wish he would get mar ried, if it was to somebody nice, and then I should be properly chaperoned and we could have anybody we liked to stay.''
 'Hallo," said Jem. Whom d'you want to stay? I shall be jealous"
 
 of Jem jealous was delicions.
 "You jealous, Jem! Oh, how fun ny that would be-" she cried at the pitch of her high young voice. They were just turning a particu- larly sharp corner in what she called a, wiggly lane. And just beyond they came suddenly upon an unex- pected sight.
 A motor-car lay tipped up in the ditch; and beside it, her face turned inquiringly towards the spot whence came the sound of their voices, stood Mrs. Trent, in her long coat, an old rose motor veil twined about her large hat and auburn locks.
 'Hallo" cried Jem, whats the matter here?"
 The lady, who for an instant had maintained a tense attitude, as of one disagreeably surprised, now smiled a greeting and moved towards the cou- pie upon their horses.
 They made a pleasing picture of youth and gayety. J~Ua was at his best. His riding gear became him, there was no scowl upon his face, he sat his fine horse well, and was alto- gether a specimen of vigorous, not un- handsome manhood. Selma was full of witchery, of a kind for which Lau- ra Trent, who hitherto had seen her only in church, was unprepared. But her readiness did not forsake her.
 You see the matter" said she. My chauffeur simply cannot grow used to slowing down for these dread full turnings. He has been accus-

toned to urban districts, and he seems
 unable to calculate his speed. We came round here too fast, and went
 into the ditch, that's all. He has
 gone to try and find somebody to help him lift us out again. She laughed a little, with a pretty shrug of the shoulders.
 Selma, full of sympathy and inter- est, forgetful of such preliminaries as
 introductions, leaned over, crying eag- erly, Which way has he gone? Our place is quite near, and he could get
 half a dozen men, the dinner hour is just over! Jem, do ride on, and send some of the men to help raise 1 the car!''
 Laura smiled this time differently. We'll did she know that, a hundred yards or so ahead, the lane joined the high road less than a quarter of a mile from the drive gates of Pom | thewel. She approached a few steps l toward the eager young girl, saying
 quietly and with the pretty air of an | elder woman toward a younger, Are you Miss Umfraville?"
 Jem started. 'Let me introduce you; Miss Umfraville, Mrs. Trent" he said, not without embarrassment. | Shall really ride on and fetch some
 body, Selma?''
 i "Yes, do,'' replied Selma gently:
 and, as he quickly disappeared, she added in a friendly tone, Miles met | you dining at Carronlea, did he not?" "Yes. How charming he is. I did
 not know there were such people in
 this neighborhood,' said Laura. My
 husband is one of the best, but he
 cares nothing for society"
 Selma was a little uncomfortable. l She could not reply that, in that part
 of the world, horse-dealers had little | chance of knowing what manner of
 thing society was. She thought of Miss Tarlton, and wondered what she would say, to see her talking to the
 reprehensible Mrs. Trent. who was
 supposed to be batting a trap for Sir
 Miles, and made no scruple of saying
 plainly that she thought him charm ing. There was something about
 Mrs. Trent which fired her girlish
 fancy. At least she was not such a
 stiff old mummy as Miss Tarlton, but
 looked as if pretty clothes and fun
 generally were a. pleasure to her. sel-
 ma began to feel sorry for her, with

 was all she found to say.
 Well, one knows the feeling" said
 Laura, standing looking up at her
 with her hands deep sunk in the | pockets of the long coat which en-
 folded subtly the slimness of her
 pliant body, and the spring breeze | ruffling her rose-colored chiffon into | soft pillows of coIor and shade about
 her. You know how you feel, in a | railway carriage if somebody else gets in. Mute antagonism-it is the muteness which is so uncivilized real | ly. If one spoke, one would be | friends directly.

yourselves: and when the next stop comes, he is on your side, and you on his-you are all solidly against the next stranger who enters, you feel that you have joined hands with the first conner, and are confederate with him against the next. It is the mere fact that they are strangers for which you dislike them. Yet you persist ently keep silence, and will not make friends, so that they remain strang- CTS, and you go on disliking. Is not that true"
 Selma thought it was. The idea amused and struck her. They were talking together with much anima- tion when Jem came back, followed by the chauffeur, three other men, and Sir Miles himself
 The barOnet was very apoIogetic, since the sharp and difficult turn was upon his own property, and he said he had long been intending to remodel the lane, only so few motors or other fast traffic passed down it, that it had not seemed worth while. When the car was once more standing nor mally upon it's four wheels, it was discovered that the bearings of one wheel had gone wrong and would take the chauffeur at least ha1f-an- hour to put right. What so naturaI f~ o1 to lunch, since it was lunch time ? Jem, too, since Mrs. Bardsley and her niece were away, and he was lonely, poor chap!
 They all walked to the Park gates together, and up the drive, leaving the men to bring the horses, and grew quite friendly on the way. Well" said Jem, as he removed the heavy coat from Mrs. Trent's thin shoulders in the old mellow hall, you have managed this neatly enough. Have the sense to go slow" ;" She turned to him, and a lightning of scorn shone out of her green eyes. "Slow!" she said under her breath, mo wonder you give that advice. Slow indeed!"
 Jem's pupils dilated with sudden anger. His voice took 9 new note. Perhaps it's a good thing for me if I am," he said, rapidly and very low. Then a feeling which was genuine, and not the effect of calculation shone out of her eyes for one instant It was almost like fear. "Jem," she whispered, "Jem, don't" Her tone was wooingly sweet and soft
 You'd better take care,'' he an- swered short and sharp; and her eyes shot hghtnings, as they followed the direction of his, and saw that they rested on Selma, who, at the far end of the hall, was giving directions to the old butler.
 Miles had gone to his wine cellar, and the two were practically alone; but Jem hunched his shoulders and deliberately walked away to the large open hearth, where a wood fire burnt sleepily, half extinguished by the beams of the April sun. He looked out of window, his lips tight pressed together, and for moment Laura stood regarding him, as she very slowly stripped off one of her iong, wrinkled suede gloves. Something
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-04-14

had happened to Jem. She had thought that it was just a scare. 1t
 had been natural that the curious ar rival upon the scene of his cousin
 should check his ardor for a while. But that was past. The cousin had
 played fair, nothing, so Jem said, was
 to be apprehended from her. Yet still there had been the shadow. the imperceptible difference, not nearly amounting to a cooIness; and for days she had been tormented, thinking that she herself must have caused it, must
 have frightened him, or disgusted
 him, since the relations between them
 had undergone a change as slight as it was nevertheless distinct.
 And now :. it was Selma! Youth had gravitated to youth, as it will. For a bitter, bleak moment, she
 stood faced by her thirty-seven years.
 Jem had told her that charm such as hers, has no age. But the pull
 sating girlhood of Selma was, after
 ali, a. more potent elixir to the senses than all her carefully cultivated spells. To the woman who has no other aim in life than the admira tion of the opposite sex, all is lost when first she doubts her power to hold the man whom she has caught. The very notion that she doubted was to Laura treason against herself. She must do som mething-anything almost, to re-
 gain her lost ascendency. And first, last, and all the time, she must stead
 fastly keep her temper. Selma hast ened towards her, full of hospitality. twill you not come upstairs?" she
 asked; and led. the way, ascending the broad shallow black oak steps which
 ran up one side of the hall and then across. Laura sighed to herself as fshe recognized in this shabby old house, the real thing in contrast to her own imitation of it. Selma's big comfortable bedroom bore no signs of any particular period, except in the great thickness of the walls and the mullioned windows. The Sheffield candlesticks upon the dressing-table were Georgian, there was an armoire of the first Empire, a Queen Anne writing-tabIe, a very modern wash
 stand and a brass bed innocent of hangings. The carpet was Victorian, and the pictures on the wall a funny
 medley, ranging from photographs of Selmas dogs and ponies, to mezzo-
 tints after Reynolds and Romney, and
 including the panel portrait in oils Of
 one Umfraville, known to be earlier than Vandyck, and worth a great
 sum.
 The gentle-treading elderly woman who had been Selma's nurse was put ting hot water in the basin, dainttiy
 covered with a fringed damask towel: and Selma had pulled out about three
 hairpins and was shaking down her mane of bronze tossing locks, which she proceeded to brush unmercifully, afterwards resigning herself to nurses
 hands, who gathered the whole into billowy knot, and again inserted the
 three tortoise-shell forked pins
 How simple! Just dip of a glow ing face, colored like a sea-shell into
