IAN old man and his wife, said the
janitor. And he works and she works.
Tom sighed and went back to find on
the tray a little note:

Tom ate the toast and the egg, drank.

away in his bill book with the one
which had come the day before.
Just wait till I'm WE'LL" he murmur-
er.
He resolved that he would watch the
door and lie in wait
But wonder--when she'll come"
was his eager thought.
The day passed and the night was
well advanced, when Tom, lying awake
heard in the hall little sound. He sat
up an listened, and suddenly he was
Gathering his dressing gown about him
he rose from his couch, opened the door
and looked out. On the threshold was
lighted candle in an old -fashioned
candlestick. Tied to the handle was
card and on the card was written: i
How far that little candle throws
his beam, SO shines a good dead in

Tom went back to bed and laborious-

dear Lady Bountiful:
Il can't write poetry, but I can say
In plain, everyday words how grateful
am. And how I wish-but you know
what wish-that fate will not be un-
kind and that-some day-when you
will it-that may see you, and tell
you what it Is not easy to say ade-
quately on paper"
He signed It Tommy Tucker" and
put 1t in the hall and shut the door.
And when an hour later he opened the
door the note was gone.
"Aha," said Tom to himself, "she.s
not far away, and that's something to
think about"
After time there came a quick
tap, tap" and Tom got out Of his
chair in hurry. but by the time he
reached the door the hall was empty,
but there was note lying waiting for
him.
1t said: II am going to send a grand
mother-you must be nice to her for
my sake"
Tom whistled, well. of all things!"

He found her, for fate was kind to

II is no reason why Roosevelt should

It Is pitiful to contrast him as he is

the sovereignty of the new general
government and pledged their al
leeience to it. There Is, the Amboy
editor SAYS, no reserved right for
the people, any more than there is for
the states: the adoption of the const1-
tuition was an unconditional adoption
in toto and forever. He adds:
The people are sovereign as cltlzens
of the United States in the same sense
that they are free agents individually.
They voluntarily curtail and limit their
personal freedom by entering INTO
social and business compacts and
they are bound by such compacts until
properly released. In like manner
they voluntarily surrender their SOW
ereignty as citizens by allegiance to
the constitution and laws; and that
allegiance must remain perpetual, or
until the constitution and laws shall
be modified, or repealed, in manner
prescribed by the constitution itself.
It follows then, that no man nor
association of men have constltu-
tional right to annul an-act of either OF
the three departments OF government,
by recall" or other similar process.
Recall is merely another name Tor
notification; they are synonymous
terms: both mean Ito annul" Recall
is a deceptive term for notification.
Moreover if the right to annul de-
cisions of the supreme court by the
people, at will, does exist, the right to
annuI the laws of congress and official
acts of the president, cannot be de-
MED. Such right If it exist at all, must
be universal and sweeping in its appli-
cation.
