The Oak Grove farm, one of the best
IN the county, was owned and run by
the widow Baines. The farmers
around couldn't criticise her farming,
but they shook their heads over the
fact that she dressed up" every aft.
srnoon and had callers now and then
from the village, six miles away. She
also had a top-buggy and silver
plated knives and forks, and she had
the best windmill for miles around.
These things were only criticised,
but when it was known that the
widow had sent her daughter east to
a seminary to be educated and pol
lshed up there We're men and women
that stood aghast Miss Minnie could
read, write and cipher, and what more
education was needed? She ate with
her fork, and she knew how to behave
at a party, and what was the use of
any more polish?
At eighteen Miss Minnie was back
home. She wasn't snobbish, but 1t
was plain that she preferred the vii
lage people, and there was hardly a
day that calls were not being ex-
changed. 1t was this state of affairs
that brought young Dick Redfern, the
merchants son, out to the farm. The
widows daughter looked good to him.
Folks said it ought to make a match.
and no one was surprised, after the
lapse of a few months, to hear of the
engagement.
He's just the best fellow in the
world" was the girls assertion after
telling her mother the secret.
81 never could have found another
such girl" was what young Redfern
added as he told his father of the
engagement.
The engagement took place in Au-
gust, and the wedding was set for
Thanksgiving day. There's a queer
thing about these engagements. AS
soon as they are made the man in the
case wants to be boss. He is as
humble as pie up to that time, but
at almost a days notice there is a

DECLARED REVOLUTIONARY
Proposed Treaty Death to Time

Washington, Jan. 4.-Flatly charging
that the administration was blundering
in an entangling alliance. with Great
Britain, Senator Hitchcock, on the
floor of the senate today denounced
the proposed arbitration treaty with
that country.
He declared the plan to permit the
president to appoint commissioners TO
a high court of arbitration. without
the consent of the senate. was revoiu-
tionary and dangerous. The proposed
treaty, he said, would wipe out this
nations time honored treaty y-maklns
plan and result virtually in the adop-
ton Of the system practiced by the
monarchial powers.
The president could authorize three
commissioners to negotiate and submit
differences to arbitration without con-
sulting constitutional representatives
of the people Of the United States
he said. That Is the legitimate and
honest interpretation of this treaty.
That is what the joint high commits
sion is for 1t. is the trap In the
treaty, IL is -uosiSo " f~N
entangling alliance by empowering our
executive to- treat, without restraint
from the senate. with the goyT ains ns
Of Great Britain, and. in my opinion
Mr.. President, it must lead to. and II
was designed to lead to an entangle-
ment of the United states in the for
eign policy Of Great Britain"
In. support Of his assertions Sem
ator Hitchcock read san extract from
a speech by Sir Edward Grey secre-
tary of state for foregn affairs in the
house of commons in March last, when
the latter said:
"But suppose 1t took place and two
Of the greatest nations in the world
were to make it clear to the whole
world that by an agreement such as
that. that in no circumstances were
they going to war again, I venture to
saw that the effect on the world al
large Of the example would be one
which would be found to have benefi-
cial consequences. 1t Is true that the
two nations who did that might still
be opposed to an attack from third
nation which had not entered into such
agreement. l think 1t probably would
lead to their following 1t up with an
agreement that they would Join with
each other in any case in which one
only had a quarrel with q third parry
