 Well, what is it?" she asked, short ly.
 Tt is really an interesting subject. What l wanted to see you particularly about was to show you that you did want to see me again"
 Well, of all the conceit!" exclaimed the pretty girl wrathfully.
 He smiled at her. Well, you are seeing me this minute" he told her, and you haven't been struck blind by the view. either! Come on, May, let's make it up!"
 "Never!" she declared. ''The only thing that induced me to come down was that I don't like to be rude in my own house. Besides, l didn't want to make a fuss before the servants 9th erwise I'd never have given in!"
 T understand perfectly" said the young man. soothingly. T know you think you hate and despise me, but, honest, now, you don't. Do you?"
 She dropped her eyes after one quick glance at his cheerfully beaming face. T never saw such assurance" she murmured as though to herself "'So you think you're irresistible, them"
 "Oh, I shouldn't go as far as that he declared meditatively. T just thought if I'd give you a glimpse of me maybe you'd relent. Don't you feel different toward me than you did when you first came into the room Honest, now!"
 You're so utterly absurd that there's no use talking to you," she declared vigorously. T never saw 6 person like you!"
 That's the reason you are so fond of me-" he told her.
 ''Pm not!" declared the pretty girl intensely. I dislike you very much!'
 The young man went and sat on the arm of her chair Bending over, he forced her to turn her face up to- ward his gaze. He smiled at her whole heartedly. Honest, May" he half whispered, you don't mean that? You like me a lot-almost as much as I dc youl"

Miss Gearing" said the white capped maid severely as she stood in the parlor door and surveyed the young man who was waiting, "begs to be excused"
 The young man did not turn pale from the shock. neither did he rise and seize his hat. Now, Mary ne said casually, you go up and tell Miss Gearing that I shall detain her only q few minutes-and that l don't mind in the least waiting any length of time for her. Be sure and tell her that 1 am waiting
 The maid looked uncertain, but the young man smiled at her with so much assurance that she obeyed. Left to himself, the young man froWneo and regarded the tips of his shoes. Presently there were steps on the stairs and very pretty girl entered the room.
 Good evening, May" said the young man cheerfully. arising :.
 I don't understand this intrusion, said the young woman, frigidly. ln view of the fact that at our last meet ing l told you distinctly that l never wanted to see you again
 Yes, I recall you making some re- marks to that effect admitted the young man. But, you see, l am broad : minded. I knew you were angry and an angry person often says things that the person does not mean at all Being naturally generous. 1 wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.f
 How kind of you!" said the young woman, with cutting sarcasm. Yod might as well understand that when say a thing I mean it. and that l know my own mind! When l said l didn't want to see you"
 But you couldn't tell absolutely whether you would want to see me or not" the young man pointed out, "un- til you had seen me. l wanted to give you the chance"
 Having had the chance and still be- ing of the same mind" said the young woman frostily. T will bid you good evening""
 Without waiting to hear what came for?" he exclaimed in surprise.
 The pretty girl, who had half risen sat back in her chair. She held her chin high and her general attitude was that of a person confronted by a toad. T don't in the least see that any subject you may bring up would be of any interest to mel" she told him loftily.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
EVERYBODY.
By Dr. Frank Crane.

We are very apt to judge the world by ourselves. For mankind is the great mirror by which the soul of the individual sees itself
 l am very shy of generalization. When man says everybody does so and so, everybody is like that, or everybody does so, I suspect he is talking about himself.
 In fact there are as many worlds as there are people to look at the world. The sun is smiling, the tom-tits are merrily cheeping, the peacock is preen- ing, and all Nature is joyous to the young fellow in love; while to the miserable man with grouch the land scape is but a collection of hearse- plumes.
 Facts are nothing" said Jean Mo reau, but the ideas they signify, the analogies they invoke, are everything..
 If you are a decent kind of a person you can go through the world and find it very decent kind of a place.
 There is in all societies" says AL eXander Dumas, "a certain proportion of honest folks. Thus, taking the two of us here, there is at least one hon. est man."

LABoRING WITH THE EFFECT
 NOT THE CAUSE.

The republican party is facing a crisis today not more because of cor rupt leaders than of corrupt electors.
 It may be well to haul down the Lorlmers who buy places of honor. but the party must make an end of the element within Itself which sells them. Are the men who spend the money any worse than the men who demand it?
 Some of these very men who have made less in politics than they think they should are rushing to the Roose- veltian standard because they expect new door of opportunity to open there, and it may be said of them 1t is a good riddance for the republican party.
 This party of purity spent million in the republican primaries to defeat Taft, recognizing the sellers in all states This is not the way of reform but the way of political success by old methods.
 The way to reform parties is to purge them of the men who make the Lorimers buy positions of trust and honor in their gift; and it is possible to do it from within the party.
 The republican party's splendid rec ord of half a century bespeaks it's ability to do things; but if it can do everything except make an end of the villains who scandalize it, what will that record avail?
 The republican party need not point with pride to what it has done but 1t should point with determination to what it intends to do. It should make an end of the men who take poodle and create boodlers to the shame and disgrace of themselves and the party

HUNGER.
By pr. Frank Crane.

Hunger is a symptom of growth.
 Love is hungry, power is hungry. ambition and greed are hungry, hate is hungry, the sea is hungry, death is hungry.
 Find a mans craving and you have found his soul.
 He may believe another mans creed. wear clothes like others, use other speech and manners, and even have no ideas but those of others; but his hunger is his own. it is self of his self.
 The only absolutely original thing about a man is what he wants.
 Your ideal is what you might be. your deeds are what you are able to be, your hunger is what you are.
 If an angel of God were to say to me l could have any one wish granted, only one. l think I should answer:
 Give me the best hunger God can make; as for anything else it does not much matter"

LONG BALLOT TRICK.

It seems strange to find Colonel Roosevelt's party in Kansas working the long ballot for their advantage, while he stands emphatically for the short ballot.
 This is what Theodore Roosevelt says about ballots:
 Tn the first place I believe in the short ballot. You cannot get good serv- lee from the public servant if you cannot see him, and there is no more effective way of hiding him than by mixing him up with a multitude of others so that they are none of them important enough to catch the eye of the average work-a-day citizen"
 Kansas in its primary elections last week had the long ballot in use. This Is a despatch sent out from Topeka with reference to the vote:
 There seems to be a fine mixup in many counties on electors, as in many precincts the voters walked into the booths, and marked the first ten names they found on the presidential ballot
 That tells the tale" says the Kan sas City Journal. "The first eight names on the ballot were names of Roosevelt electors, so placed for the purpose of producing this very result No doubt many thousands of republi- can voters were misled by this trick thus making the fraud of the progress sive leaders successful. The returns from over the state are, at this writ ing. far from complete and it is not improbable that later figures will show a victory for Curtis and other conservative candidates not now as- sured. Capper. for governor, who al though supporting Roosevelt, has in- sisted loudly that he is still and will continue to be loyal republican and pledged himself to give an admins tration wholly different from the Stubbs administration, leads the tick ct"

world politics was for many years
the yellow peril From time to time
we used to be told that with the
awakening of China the multitudin-
Gus inhabitants of the most populous
country on earth would descend
upon us like the wolf on the fold.
The awakening of China has at
last come about. The whirligig of
time brings everything to pass. But
what we have to fear is not hordes
of Celestials in battle array, but the
peaceful invasion of ideas, at which
conservatives are beginning to be
alarmed.
DR.. Sun Vat Sen is quoted by The
London Daily Telegraph as declaring
that the great transformation in
China will take the form of social
ism, and that the government
is in sympathy with a propa-
ganda for. the naturalization
of railroads, mines and similar
industries, and for free trade and the
single tax. DR.. Sun Vat Sen is
reported to be an ardent follower of

HOOKWORM INFECTION.

The second annual report of the
Rockefeller sanitary commission is a
document that deeply concerns
almost the entire South. The dis
ease has been demonstrated in 719
out of 884 counties in 10 Southern
States, and the remaining 100 coun-
ties have not been surveyed. 1t has
been found in 66 of the CT counties
along the Atlantic and the Gulf of
Mexico is heavily infected, but the
infection now extends over nearly
every section of the South
But let no one think the infection
is confined to this country It prac-
tically covers all countries lying
between the SO parallel north to the
80 parallel south. In this belt of 66
degrees practically all countries are
infected. Reports have been received
from 81 infected counties. Fully
one-half of the people of this world
live in countries where hookworm
disease is prevalent. About 80 per
cent of the population of the West
Indies and of the South American
countries near them have the dis
ease. The disease is also prevalent
in India and Southern China.
The disease retards the progress
of one-half Of the world 1t has a
deep effect upon education and civil
lization, ana it must be overcome
and, if possible, eradicated, before
the world can rise to it's best pos
sihilties.
In endeavoring to limit the dis
ease in this country the commission
strives to enlist the physicians in
the work, and to get the people
to seek examination and treatment.
Sanitary education is necessarily a

hookwornl, including the dangers of
soil pollution.
All told 23,359 persons were
