over-estimates his wealth when he

Money will buy meat for the meal

in the world; those who have

and don't know how to get it.
Money, when made TO make others

Miss Marcia Egerton was a peculiar
girl She seldom did anything as any
one else would do it and was always
doing things in a way that no one else
would think of doing them. 1t is the
purpose of this story to chronicle the
roundabout way she acted in a mat
ter that concerned herself and several
other people.
In the first place, Miss Egerton,
who was an orphan, inherited large
estate and came into possession or
it when she was eighteen years old.
The next most important thing about
her was an intimate friend. Before
her mothers death, when she was but
twelve years old, she had conceived 8
violent affection for Agnes Hart, who
was badly named, because she was not
possessed of heart at all. Marcia's
mother opposed the intimacy and when
her daughter was sixteen years old
sent her off to school with no other
purpose than TO get her away from Ag-
mes, but without avail. The two
girls kept up an almost daily CORE
spondence during the whole period OF
their separation and on Marcia's re-
were lnllIldlc I1dh
Mrs. Egerton died when Marcia was
twenty, leaving her daughter her own
mistress and in possession Of large
property. She took her friend Agnes
to live with her and lavished upon her
everything a girl could desire. Several
young men, each of whom would have
liked to win Marcia either for herself
or her fortune, declared that they were
unable to separate her long enough
from her girl friend TO do so. And 1t
was facetiously remarked that any one
who married Miss Egerton must have
two wives.
Marcia became interested in young
man-Edwin Bond-who found more
opportunity to court than he availed
himself of. He admired Marcia; but,
having no fortune himself, he objected
to being tied to a woman who possess
ed one. He was one of those young
men who feel the Zest Of making a
place for themselves in the world and
knew that TO do this he must be forced
on by a powerful stimulus, for the
man who marries a fortune is provid-
ed for, and he pays the price, which il

that they had been mustered out to an

they had spent their last days practic-

the charity of neighDors.
Shortly before the close of his life,
in one of his last public official utter
ances, the great-hearted, kind, gentle
President Lincoln urged on the people
the duty to bind up the nation S
wounds, and to care for him who shall
have borne the battle and for his
widow and his orphans and surely no
more sacred duty could lie before us /;
and while this bill is, perhaps. not
as liberal as it ought to be, let us. by

unity in the giving of it, make up for

a Fitting Tribute to the Old Soldier

"A E1tun2 Tribute TO the Old Soldier.
One of the most eloquent and sin
cere speeches on behalf OF the old sol
diers that has been heard on the floor
of the house in this session was made
by the Hon. James N. Graham of II
linois. Mr. Graham spoke for the pas
sage of the bill which provides that
soldiers who were honorably discharg-
ed shall, upon their arrival at the age
OF So years, receive a pension at the
rate Of SIS month; at the age of 65
years, $50 a month: at the age of 20
years, S25 month: and at the age OF
as years or over $50 a month.
The present plan OF granting pen
sions by private bills is uusatisfac-

goods and other wooden manufactures
are now taxed from 80 TO 40 per cent.
and the rates on all these articles will
be lowered.
The democratic ways and means COM
mittee will probably recommend the
repeal of the tariff on wood pulp, print
paper, lumber, timber and logs, and
place these articles on the free list.
The lumber trust has such complete
control of the lumber business that a
downward revision of the tariff fails to
be effective so far as protecting the
common man from excessive prices.
When the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot bill was
framed the duty on a certain class of
lumber was reduced 81 per thousand
feet, and the lumber trust, as if to
show its contempt for mere downward
revision of the tariff, raised the price
of lumber so that before the members
of congress got away from Washing
ton the price had gone up 81. The
Denver democratic platform of 1908
pledges the party to place wood pulp
and lumber on the free list.
TAFT Furnishes INSURGENTS.
President Taft is still fighting des-
perately to check the progressive
movement, probably because he realiz-
es that genuine progressives are liable
10 bolt the party in case of his renom-
ination for the presidency, which is
practically certain. The president nom
mated Guy y. Golf to be the United
States district attorney at Milwaukee.
Golf seems 10 have a good record, but
that appears not to have been the chief
reason for his nomination. President
Taft, it is charged by progressive re-
publicans. appointed Golf simply be-
cause Senator La Toilette had been
working for more than a year to have
lawyer of high standing of the name
of McElroy appointed. Anything to
discourage La Toilette" is the slogan
al the White house. It would not be
SUI prising if La Toilette should bolt
Taft in the event Taft should be re-
nominated and the democratic nom
inee should be the right type of pro-
gressive.
a PLACE FOR THE RECALL.
In defending Lorimerism on the floor
VI lue llteO states senate, julius
Caesar Burrows of Michigan said:
There is absolutely no proof in the
case. direct or indirect, from which a
legitimate inference could be drawn
that single member of the general as
sembly of Illinois was corruptly in
fuenced TO vote for Mr.. Lorimer." If
the recall was in use in Michigan, and
the people of the state would read the
testimony in the Lorimer case, it is
within the realm of possibilities that
the above statement would have cost
Senator julius Caesar Burrows his
place in congress.
CUMSTINs Is No LEADER NOW.
A report was recently sent out from
Washington referring to Senator Cum

of the insurgents" Cummins might
have been among the leaders of the in
surgents, but his now famous declara-
ton that "it is better to elect the worst
republican than the best democrat"
places him at the bottom OF the heap.
He can never outlive this mistake.
