and mother of three children,

for treatment. The woman's
husband left his family on a
wood ranch near Troy early in

work. 1t is said the neighbors

sound democrat, but it is difficult
for him to convince the great
body of plain democrats that he
is anything more than a scholar
ly efigy clothed to look like a
democrat. Wherefore the Wilson
boom languishes. 1t has been
seized early with a violent loco
motor ataxia. 1t wobbles and
staggers and soon may pass into
a restful condition of suspended
animation. This explains the
surprising Clark outburst. The
crossroads democrat, the coun-
try-store philosopher, the demo-
crat who wants a democrat be-
cause he is a democrat, turns to
Clark as against the spurious
democracy of Wilson. Clark is
Missouri democrat; Wilson is
New Jersey mugwump with a
thin veneer of new democracy.
The western and southern demo-
Gratis want the real thing. They
are not for Wilson. Portland
Oregonian."
The foregoing is about as good
an explanation as can be found
of the otherwise inexplicable
phenomenon of the sudden and
surprising Clark popularity a.
mong the democratic hosts.
Clark is just a democrat and that
is all. Whatever the boys of the
party are for, he is for, too,
whether to go forward or back
ward, up or down, sidestep or
stand still. On the other hand
Governor Wilson wants to go
forward, as he conceives it. and
search out new and untrodden
paths. That alienates many
democrats who do not want to go
that way, or who are not certain
which way they do want to go.
Governor Harmon does not want
to lead the party and the people
into strange and devious ways,
but prefers to deal with solid
facts in a solid and decisive man.

wisdom and potential agencies

That alienates many democrats
from him, who do not want to be
thought standing still, as they
conceive it, but must be in the
swim for new and progressive

'ut having to define or defend

elements, and other elements.

Great Plots and Great Novels,

The instinct for plot is an unap
peasable one, and children keep us
constantly aware of the depth and the
fundamental nature of the demand
that story shall be a story. This
by the way, is the hardest thing to
make it, and the student of fiction is
constantly surprised to find how few
are the great plots as compared with
the number Of the really great novels,
so often does the casual chain of in
evitable consequence break and fail in
the dramatic type; SO often does some
favorite parsonage, growing almost
too much alive, run away with the
plot. Fiction, especially English
fiction, Is, as we all know, far more
distinguished by the creation of great
characters than by the working out Of
great plots; and Thackeray's confess
sion that the trend Of his story often
depended on the mood of the morn
ing, he. in good humol, being inclined
to make his characters do admirable
deeds, In bad humor being tempted
to thrust them into villainy, may well
be considered the unspoken confess
sion Of many another great novelist

WALL coLoRs AND LIGHT.

In painting or papering the walls
Of room the question often arises
what color reflects the most and what
the least light? Recent experiments
in Germany gave the following re-
suits: Dark blue reflects 61a per
cent. Of the light falling upon it;
dark green about 10 per cent; pale
red little more than Is per cent. /;
dark yellow, 20 per cent. pale blue,
80 per cent; pale yellow, 40 per
cent; pale green, 461a per cent. !;
pale orange, nearly IS per cent. /;

him to get ready, and then removed
his own surplus clothing. He wasn't
