They did not talk that night of houses
and lands, or Of stocks and bonds, or money
in the bank They whispered Of rarer
things of Christabels eyes and Burke's
heart; Of the dimple at the corner of Chris
tabels mouth and Burke e's reverent belief in
love at first sight Oh, they were fathoms
deep in love she with prince out OF fairy
tale and he with the sweetest and most
wonderful girl that e'er the moon shone on.
The next day he brought her a ring whose
cost was somewhat masked by its good
taste, And he prayed that the wedding
might be very soon so she could quit the
store at once. Both these prayers Christa-
bel very joyously granted.
Aunt Ellen, quite re-asSured as to the
young mans honorable intentions, was
happy, too, though sad as well t1at she
must give up her lamb.
Now, Burke had never had much to say
about himself or his position in life. Not
that nc seemed secretve, he had more the
air Of taking that part Of it as matter Of
course.
He had spoken casually Of working at
"the office" Chat Of Millard & CO.., and
that he Was not muck acquainted in the
city, as he had been travelling about Sc
much.
Much as Christabel had dreamed Of his
wealth, she had admired him for not aaunt-
ing it in her face as a bribe He had always
done things so nicely and she had alway;
been so happy in his company that she only
occasionally realized that he was not lavish,
ing much more wealth about than Mr. vii
hston himself had done After they became
engaged she had expected things to be diff
ferent, and she had taken his recommends
ton not to bother much with a trousseau tC
mean great things.
One evening they were sitting blissfull,
together on Aunt Ellens little porch be
hind the screening Crimson Rambler.
e Charley Miilards going to be married
too, he remarked "But it won't com
off till Christmas, so they'll have time t,
get up a big affair l hate all that agon,
and aub-dub.' =

Ellen to the pleasant young man who adj

CLINTON, Nd, May goth, 1911
Mr.. EDITOR:
l take this opportunity to announce
to my friends and the Democratic
voters of Prince Georges County that
| have withdrawn from the contest for
the noml :.tion for County Treasurer.
NV reasons for this are that there were
four candidates for this Office, which
meant strenuous and expensive fight.
The condition. Of my crops, caused by
the long, dry spell, and in justice to my
family, I could not afford to lose the
time or spend one dollar.
was further induced to take this
action in order that l might help re-
store harmony and bring a measure of
peace to the party which | love and
for which have fought for so many
years.
l can not express in words my graft
tude to my friends for the support
given me while l was a candidate
and l pledge my self to serve them at
all times to the best of judgment and
ability.
l have been asked by many friends
to become a candidate for the House
of Delegates and as much as | would
love to serve my party | can not afford
to make even this sacrifice, and l shall
not be candidate for any office.
Very truly yours,

Hyattsville, Md, May 81, 1911
Mr.. EDITOR:
During the past week or so, l have
been told by a number of my friends in
various sections of the county that they
had been informed that l had with
drawn my name as candidate for the
Democratic nomination for county
treasurer.
Will you be good enough to allow me
the courtesy of your columns to state
that such reports are unfounded and
that | have authorized no one to speak
for me in this regard. l am still cam
didate for the nomination, and the fact
that the factions in the party at meet
ings held in Washington have decided
upon or endorsed men whom they will
support, does not alter my determina-
ton to ask for the support of demo-
Gratis in the county, irrespective of fac
tional affiliations, and others entitled to
participate in the primaries. When a
few men, whether they be members of
the organization or anti-organization
wings of the party, attempt to dictate
to the people of the county whom they
shall support for the nominati tons, it is
time for all democrats to call halt and
take the matter into their own hands.
This will be the first year in the his
tory of the county that the opportunity
has been given the people to select
their own candidates, and l am per-
fectly willing to take my chances with
the rank and file of the party without
the aid ofany faction in it.
