NOT SERIOUS WHEN

They Were Only Silly and

"Nonsense!" exclaimed Eugenia
'Why, I've seen him only twice."

Eugenia paused over her lambre-

Eugenia dropped the lambrequin.
"You!" she cried. "Angelinal"
Neither of us spoke for a full mo-

"O-o-ohi"

at last. "You see, Eugenia, too have

Eugene pressed her beautiful lips

"I'll give him up" she whispered,

We held each others hands in a
long silence. Suddenly l heard a
click in the distance. 1t was the gate.
1 am quite sure Eugenia did not hear
it. l got up. Yes. He was coming
up the walk. My resolution
was taken in an instant. Before Eu-
genia knew, before she could protest,
l had gone; out through the rear

all, thought it was much the best.
They were undoubtedly fitted for

strong, so winning. The very ideal

uine New York man should be. Eu-
genia was ambitious. Some day she
was destined to go to Europe, for

Yes, ID was better for her to

And then, suddenly, sitting there
by the old fence with the brook at
my feet, a shadow came-a voice-his
voice-spoke:

A welI-Justified Aversion.

From the New York Sun.
The impression of prison life which
Thomas Mott Osborne gained as an
amateur convict is sustained and sup
ported by the testimony of Julian
Hawthorne. Mr.. Hawthorne says
that the cell is a living hell" using
a phrase that accurately conveys Mr..
Osborne's notion. Mr.. Osborne and
Mr.. Hawthorne are qualified to testi
fly on the subject, and the Sun is
willing to accept their conclusions as
convincing.

Benefits of Free Iron Ore.


From the Philadelphia Record.
1t is rather hard on Senator PEN
rose, who has constituted himself the
especial champion of the iron and
steel interests against the murderous
assaults of the wicked Democrats,
that within fortnight of the signing
of the new tariff law by President
Wilson announcement should be made
OF the plans of a wealthy syndicate to
establish a large blast furnace plant
in New York harbor, only seventeen
miles from the Battery. OPTICS on a
site have been secured, and it is
planned to establish two blast fur
naces with a daily capacity of about
400 tons of pig iron each.
Many advantages are claimed for
the project. Under the new tariff
foreign iron ore can be imported free
and unloaded at a minimum cost
With the completion of the New York
barge canal it will also be possible to
secure domestic ore from the Port
Henry IN. " district or the Lake
Superior region at a lower rate than
is paid by Pittsburgh furnaces. AS
for a market it is claimed that New
York and New England offer field
which cannot be surpassed. For fuel
and by the sale of the waste gas from
the coking ovens 1t is expected to
bring the cost down to a reasonable
figure.
Regardless of the alleged merits of
the project, which is backed by skilled
and reputable iron men, it is interest
ing as a prompt refutation of the sto-
ries of disaster to the steel trade by
placing iron ore and pig iron on the
free list. Instead of injuring it is al
together likely that the new policy
will help to build up industries along
the Atlantic seaboard. The market Is
here, and all that is needed Is raw
material at a reasonable cost. We
commend to Senator Penrose a study
of the advantages claimed for the
proposed plant. 1t will give him some
new ideas on the possibilities of the
iron and steel trade in the Eastern
States.

A Later Dinner Hour.

From the Boston Transcript.
The advance of the dinner hour is
phenomenon of English life that has
been commented on by the historians
of all the centuries since the six
tenth, and it would appear that in
some parts of the empire the move
ment has not yet stopped. over
Anglo-India, for example, dinner has
usually been at or S:15 during the
past generation at least, but for some
years past Bombay has favored $3.50.
Now, according to a Bombay con-
temporary, there seems a Likelihood
that the hour may be moved to y. IL
this should happen, the change,
among other things, will be awkward
for the theatres and other public en-
tertainments, the managers of which
have great difficulty in getting audi
ences together by $3.50. The main
reason for putting dinner off to as
late a time as possible is, of course,
the necessity. to most English people
in the tropics, of making the most of
the cool of the evening out of doors.

From the New York Times.
The London Telegraph makes an
eloquent plea for due recognition in
his adopted country, the land of his
mothers birth, of William Marconi
He has received honorary degrees
from British universities, but for the
rest the name which he has never
blemished and has made world ia
nous by his great achievements has
been associated in Great Britain
chiefly with a petty financial scandal
In which he had no part whatever.
England would, indeed, do well to
honor Marconi The whole world
should join in generous recognition of
this great man who has annihIlated
space on the waters, and has made
possible the saving of human life in
such a combination of the perils of
fire and storm on midocean as the
Volturno encountered. This is the
very moment for worldwide recog-
milton of the inventor of the wireless
telegraph.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

They do not upset any preconceived
| idea as to prison life. Their expert
ences have not brought forth any
novel or startling revelations. So far
as our experience with those who
have undergone punishment extends
| there has been an unbroken unanim-
| ity of opinion as to the tiresomeness,
| discomforts, annoyances and general
undesirableness of life under govern
ment lock and key. The supervision
| of the warden, the watchfulness OF
the turnkey, the stern insistence on
obedience, become irksome to even
the most patient man and render MIN
insensible to the pleasure to be de-
rived from the assurance of a root
to cover his head and food to fill his
belly.
There is no room for dispute on
this subject Prisons are not attrac-
tive places of residence. The instlnc-
tive and acquired distaste for them
characteristic of ordinary men Is
based on sound reason. We thank
fortune that we are not compelled to
live in a prison, and we counsel ALL
the aged and the youthful alike, men
and women, boys and girls, to adopt
the one sure and safe method or
avoiding them; that Is, so to live as
to keen outside the portals of these
Justly dreaded institutions.
Legal Bubbles That Excite Contempt.
From the Springfield Republican.
The late Judge James B. CAN'T, OF
the Missouri Supreme Court, is per-
haps best known by his invalidating
an indictment because a 1.-THE" had
been dropped out of the stereotyped
formula "against the peace and the
dignity of the State" At the memorial
exercises held Tuesday at JEFFERSON
CITY, Judge Phillips stated that his
death had been FASTENED by criticism
for this decision, which his eulogist
pronounced good law on the ground
that the State Constitution requires
that all indictments close with this
formula. But it is that kind of good
law which is bringing law into con-
tempt with a good many people. Ii
anyone Is to suffer from an unim-
portant slip of that kind 1t ought to
be the lawyers and not the people
who pay to have justice efficiently
administered. Nobody would object
if an attorney who carelessly
dropped out a word or letter from
prescribed formula were roundly lee
tured by the court, or fined like a
careless baseball player or suspend
ed for thirty days like careless rail-
road man. What the public objects
to is having the Importance Of ac-
curacy taught by holding up the pub
lies affairs. That akind of punctilio
has about had its day.
