addressed to Grandmother PendeTby,
and it ran as follows:
my Dearest Own Elizabeth:
Your cruel words to me today,
though they have sOrely wounded me,
cannot quench the passion for you
that burns in my bosom. So, since
you have said that this unhappy mis-
understanding of ours must end our
engagement, since you have forbid
me to approach the shrine and altar
of your devotion, shall place this
within your mothers writing desk,
hoping that some impulse will draw
you hither, to open the little drawer
you once showed me, and to find this
outpouring of my soul. Elizabeth, you
cannot mean that we must part for
ever, that you will bestOw your price
less self upon that dullard, Nat Pen
derby, for when your marriage bells
rings out my life will become unbear-
able to me and / shall end this
wretched existence. Without you, life
will become impossible.
Till time shall end, thine,

stacked with the accumulated debris
of generations: old trunks, old furni-
tUre, old papers. A week before their
marriage, Grandmother Penderby,
who had been rummaging in what
she called her private store room, ap-
peared before Mildred and Will,
flushed and triumphant. In her arms
she bore a heavy, old-fashioned writ
ing desk.
'This is to be one of my wedding
presents to you, children" she said
"And don't you turn up your noses at
it, either Of you, because my mother
thought enough of it to give it to me
when was engaged"
Mildred had often seen the little
desk, but instinctively she had re-
Trained from tampering with it. She
knew that grandmother valued it
highly-so highly that she had never
allowed it to be used, but had kept it
on the high shelf among her most
cherished treasures. She had always
suspected that some of grandmoth-
er's treasured relics were kept hidden
in it. But when she opened it it was
empty and only the faint odor of
dead rose leaves betrayed the fact
that it had contained anything but
dust.
Wen keep-what shall we keep in |
it, WHIP" Mildred asked.
"Our love letters" responded Will, |
promptly. "That is, if it is big
enough. But isn't it strange, Millie, |
that a desk of this size should have
such a very small interior? It almost |
looks as though it might contain a
secret drawer"
There does seem to be a lot of |
space underneath the drawer" said |

There does seem to be a lot of
space underneath the drawer" said
Mildred, lingering the edges of the
desk. "Why, Will, it rings quite hoI-
low. Just tap it and listen"
It certainly did ring hollow. And it
did seem as though there were some
second drawer under the first. But
the cunningly arranged veneering
gave no evidence of any opening.
Will tapped and tapped in vain.

Governor Tener's answer to the resolu-
tions which have been introduced 10 the
Legislature to start Investigations is a
fitting one. He calls unon every EN-
ploye of his administration to be prepared
at the end of each days work to give a
complete report of the conduct of his Of
flee or department. 1--WE want every
thing to be done open and above board ="
says the Governor, land there must be
nothing to hide from anybody" He also
adds that any member of the Legislature
desiring information concerning any de-
psrtment, who will inform the Governor
OF his wishes, will be given full oppor-
tunlty to obtain il directly from the head
of such department. This is a plain an
swer to the insinuations contained in the
resolutions and disarms those who
prompted them Tor the purpose of dis
credlting the administration. Governor
Tener has made his administration a bus
iness one and today has the confidence of
the people. His open proposition to give
everyone an opportunity to satisfy any
suspicion they may have regarding the
conduct of the States affairs il in keeping
with his past record since taking the Of
flee. oil City Derrick.

WRITING from the National Capital to
his home paper the Brookville Republic
can, of which he was for many years the
able editor, and which paper supported
the candidacy of Col. Roosevelt, f. A.
Weaver gives this fair and truthful esti-
dents: "The department of President
Taft, since the election OF his successor,
has been such as to win the adm iration of
the thinking people of the nation. He
accepts the situation with his accustomed
smile, and proceeds in the performance oi
his varied official d uties in such a manly
fashion as to discoDcert and silence his
maligners. fpossible he has shown in
creasing courage in his own con nvictions,
aud the ability TO defend wba, he believes
TO be right. He has, at all times, recog-
nized that he is the president of the whole
union of states, that no section or class
has superior claim upon him for con-
sideration. Alta recent meeting of an
important national organization, COM
tions were passed reciting the many acts
OF the President demonstrating his con-
sideration for the people of the South,
and thanking him for public expressions
ofsympathy and best wishes. The ad
verse verdict at the polls is not accepted
by him as in the least condemnstory oi
the principles of the party he has had the
honor to represent, but simply q back
ward movement of the pendulum of time
reversion due to the discomfort of the
people, who clsmor loudest for change
while in the enjoyment of the greatest
measure of prosperity. Taft is an opti-
mist, has not lost faith in the people or
his country, snd there is an abiding be-
lief that many who voted for a change
last November will have cause to regret
his absence at the White House before the
coming four years have been mum bered
with the past"

A RATHER incongruous provision in
the parcel post law is apparent in the ex-
clusion of books from the benefit of the
cheap rates. 1t has been po nted out that
deck of cards may be mailed by parcel
post, while the bible is excluded from its
benefits. Just how this discrimination
crept into the law no one is able to figure
out but that it makes the popular statute
appear quite like a partial post is the
general opinion. This defect should be
hastily remedied.
