MOONLIGHT and Poetry.

A ball followed dinner that night,
Wednesday. The ample lounging-
room filed up rapidly after coffee;
officers in smart uniforms and spurs,
whose principal function in times OF
peace is to get in everybody's way,
rowel exposed ankles, and demolish
lace ruff1es. Egyptians and Turks and
sleek Armenians in somber western
frock and scarlet eastern fez or tar
boosh. women Of all colors (meaning,
as course, as applied and shapes and
tastes, the lean and the fat, the tall
and short, such as Billy Taylor is said
to have kissed in all the ports, and
tail-coats of as many styles as Jo-
seph's had patches. George could dis
tinguish his compatriots by the fit OF
the trousers round the instep; the
Fnglishman had his fitted at the
waist and trusted in Providence for
the hang of the rest. This trifing de-
tective work rather pleased George.

the thrust Mrs. Chedsoye enjoyed
these sharp encounters, for it must
be added that she gave as good as
she took, and more often than not her
thrusts bit deeper and did not always
heal
Fortune never asked questions rela-
tive to the family finances. If she
harbored any doubts as to their origin,
to the source of their comparative lux
ury, she never put these into speech

Mrs. Chedsoye eyed her offspring
through narrowed lids.

thirty-five, tall, something of an ath-
lete; and there remains some indica-
tions that III the flush of youth he was
handsome. Odd. He reminded me OF

but was a great admirer of his from

Horace Wadsworth. Fortune had
the sensation of being astonished at
something she had expected to hap
pen.
Just before going down to dinner
that night, Fortune turned to her
mother, her chin combative in its
angle.
Il gave Mr.. Jones hundred and
fifty pounds out of that money you
left in my care. Knowing how forget
full you are, l took the liberty OF at
tending to the affair myself"
She expected storm, but instead
her mother viewed her with apprais-
ing eyes. Suddenly she laughed mel
lowly. Her sense of humor was too
excitabIe to resist so delectable sit
uation.
"You told him, of course, that the
money came from me?" demanded
Mrs Chedsoye. when she could con-
troll her voice.
Surely. since it did come from
you"

hummed lightly

Mrs. Chedsoye thought for mo-

a woman, and mayhap she had played
upon the taut strings of the young

Fortune, as she silently followed,
experienced a sense Of disconcertion

The closing session was marked
by the decision TO raise pioneer
fund with which to erect large
monument In bronze to the first
farm woman of the golden west. A
model was shown of a farm woman
standing on doorstep with one
arm encircling the neck of her
hopeful son and her eye looking
toward the setting sun across the
great prairie farm, depicting the
evening hour when the husband and
father, the pioneer and home
builder, was due to return from the
days toll in the field
The suggestion of thus payite
tribute to the noble woman who
first blaZed the way across the des-
ert prairies originated with Charles
Christadora of Point Iona, Calf,
and the young sculptor who had
submitted the model desired that
his name be kept secret until the
accomplishment of mis- great work.

DEMOCRATS OF
GENUINE BRAND
PERPLEXlNG QUESTION WILL
BOB UP IN MAKING OF AP-
PolNTMENTs AFTER MARCH =.
CBy V. Merkle.)


Washington, Nov. l9.-About the
fist question which the Wilson al
ministratIon will have to solve, even
in advance of the making OF appoint
ments, is what brand of democrats
it is going to depend on for referees
IN the different states.
This question is loaded with dyna-
mite. President Taft found it so.
Mr.. wilson will hardly find it other
wise. President Taft took the course
of abiding by the advice OF the stand
patters in the matter OF patronage.
He turned IA deaf ear to the pro-
gressives of his party In fact al
ter the beginning of the regular ses-
sion of the siXty-first congress, IN
the winter of 19O9-10, he made open
war on the insurgents in the matter
OF patronage and he is still making
it. That is, he is still refusing to
appoint TO office men recommended
by the progressive republicans.
Governor Wilson, when he becomes
president, will face the same sltua-
ton with respect to his party that
President Taft faced. He Will have
to make appointments either on the
recommendation of the progressive
democrats or the conservatives and
reactionaries. Maybe he will adopt
enough to trim and sail between the
two sides. But the feeling between
the is too tense to make 1t likely
he can do this.
Already this question is sticking
up sharply in number OF states.
A good instance of it found no 1ur-
ther away than Maryland. Maryland
went strong for Wilson. At the Bal
timore convention, the influence OF
the old democratic machine, led by
Senator John Walter Smith was
against Wilson. The progressive
democrats of the state, including
Senator Rayner, Blair Lee, many OIL
the Johns Hopkins university crowd,
and the anti machine democrats gen
orally lined up for Wilson.
Senator Smith is one of the chiei
of the senate reactionaries, a hlgh
tariff lumber man, protection DEM
ocrat. and, in short, anything but "a
progressive in any sense. But he Is
a finished politician, and the story
is already going the rounds that
when the spoils of office are divided
he will be on hand with his recon-
mendations and they will be listen
ed TO. In fact some Of the Maryland
politicians 80 so far as to say smith,
roth,r IMAM tie oppressive demo-
Gratis, will dictate the patronage.
Friends of Wilson in Washington
do not believe this will happen. How
ever. this is an illustration of the slt-
nation that confronts the president
elect. In practically every state III
the union he will have to face square
" the problem of whether he is go
ing to let the reactionaries or the
progressive men of his party nominate
the office holders. And II he turhs
TO one he will win the condemnation
of the other. If he tries middle
of the road path, he will incur the
usual danger of folks who carry wat
or on both shoulders.

The Battle of
Dunbar
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

TNWO hundred and siXty-two
years ago Cromwell and his
Ironsides met the men of
the heather at Dunbar ana gave
them the beating of their lives.
That Scotchmen are brave has been
demonstrated upon a hundred bat
tie fields, but the drubbing that
"Old Noll" gave them at Dunbar
they can never forget
But Dunbar did the Scotch n
world of good; and. moreover it
was something that they we'll de-
served. 1t was most righteous
beating that they got on that
memorable September day, 1850.
Cromwell, one of the greatest
men of all time, was as tolerant as
he was great, but he felt that toll
Grafton was game that it took
two or more to play at. He was
more than willing to reach out the
hand of good will to any one who
was disposed to meet him half way,
but for the would-be champions of
intolerance he had no patience and
but little compassion.
The Scotch, led on by their ia
natical preachers, We're trying to
make everybody Pres byterians, and
not only SO, but they were engaged
in the attempt at making the peo-
PIE of England accept a king that
they did not want. In their maj
esty the English people had risen
and brushed away the Stuart d$
nasty, with all Of its crimes, and
now the Scotch were trying, by
force of arms to make them take
that dynasty back.
This was more than Cromwell
could stand, He would not become
Presbyterian, or anything else,
against his Will and as for accept
ing Charles II he would not listen
to it for a moment
lie entered Scotland on July %
with 1000 Of his "Ironsides," and
on September found himself face
to face with Leshe's army at Dun
bar. 1t was the largest army that
Scotland had ever mustered-2G0 900
strong, skiriting the amphitheater
of hills. Outnumbered more than
two to one, Cromwell was never
before in SO critical a position.
There was no retreat. Behind him
was the sea, in front of him was
Leslie and the heath, wilderness
Of bog and swamp-the Lammer
moor,
AS Cromwell was wondering
what do, his quick eye detected
a certain movement on the part of
the enemy, and .@seeing the advan-
tage of it, he threw up his hands
with the exclamation: The Lord
hath delivered them into our
hands,"
Instantly the lronsides We're in
motion. Let God arise, and let His
enemies be scattered" shouted
Cromwell to them. and in little
while it was all over with the
heather folk
II was wonderful viCtory-one
Of the most wonderful on record
\. 20. 000 prisoners. 1000 slain 200 col
ors and standards. $4,000 stand Of
arms. all the artillery, and Crom-
wells loss less than 20 men.

A wife whose husband has left
her for a younger and fairer face,

Men care for nothing but beauty
in a woman. If a man has a pref
ty wife, he takes her about and
shoEs her off. If she is ugly, she
is left at home. If woman has
classical features, she is admired
and petted. Ifsnot, she is discarded
and thrown away.
Some humanitalian should in

them than all the intelligence, all

if YOU want to keep him He won't
remember what you've done for

thatya man takes any interest in

You never see a man holding the

Undoubtedly every man believes
that he is worshiper at the shrine
Of beauty. The first question that
any man ever asks about a woman
Is not whether she has any brains,
or Wit, or culture. or is entertain-
