Ambassador to England.

London. March 2.-Sydnty Brooks,
the we'll known writer On international
politics. has contributed an article to
the Daily Mail showing the difficulties
that beset the president of the United
States in choosing an ambassador to
the court Of st. James. Some of his
most pertinent remarks run as fol.
lows:
"For one thing. while the United
States possesses in Victoria street

over to a divan and seated herself,
completely Indifferent to his presence.
Annie-Marie looked very beautiful as
she sat there on the divan, coldly OBJ
uvious. Brachard thought he had never
realized until now the full intensity Of
his love for her. For many months no
word of love had passed between them.
When he released her, as much as pos
sible, from the bondage Of their mar
riage, after he came to know how lit
tie she liked him, 1t was agreed be-
tween them that she should be free
also from the useless repetition Of his
protestations Of love. His wooing Of his
wife had been carried on silently, I'M

nothing more. Now, that he was going

There is the thick, fat mans hand The
voice with it says: "Why do you work
when you need not work? Why do you
slave and suffer when am willing to take
care of you?"
That voice, a girl hears a thousand
times, and because the spirit in her, in the
poorest and humblest working girl, is the
spirit of honor and of martyrdon, she goes
her straight way and brushes aside the
coarse hand that almost touched her
shoulder.
All along the road of hard life, hard
work, these hands reach out, offering and
tempting with gesture and with voice
while the girl is young.
Then comes the halfway stage in the
road when the woman is getting old; the
hair getting gray the shoulders beginning
to stoop.
Then all the hands are replaced by one

many thousands of so-called respectable
business men piling up their money on the

A hard world is this road of the beck

Look at these hands. They are not
labelled, but you will recognize them.
And for each hand there is voice call

chosen.
There is the woman's hand covered with
rings that beckon and the voice says come
and lead my life, be happy, careless, gay,
and dress as I do" That is the voice of
moral death, and the girl hearing it she

ENCAMPMENT NOTES.

Talent has the possibilities of a
beautiful park in the grove used for
the encampment and 1t is understood
that the owner, Mr.. Weidemann, is
willing to sell it to the village at a
reasonable price. All who attended
the encampment will hope that it
may be secured. About. all it needs
is a little water to make it one of
the handsomest groves in the valley.
Many veterans gathered Monday
and will spend the entire week at the
camp enjoying the tenting and re-
calling old memories. Many more
will be there one or two days.
