Saint Catherine of Sienna.
(By Alice Meynell.)


(Written for Strephon, who said that
woman must lean or she should not
have his chivalry)
The light young man who was to die,
Stopt In his frOlic by the state
Aghast, beheld the world go by;
But Catherine crossed his dungeon
gate.
She found his lyric courage dumb,
His stripling beauties strewn in
wrecks,
His modish braveries overcome;
Small profit had he Of his sex.
On any old wife's level he,
For once-for ALL But he alone
Man--must not fear the mystery,
The pang. the passage, the unknown.
Death. He did fear 1t, In his cell,
Darkling amid the Tuscan sun;
And, weeping, at her feet he fell,
The sacred. young, provincial man.
She prayed, she preached him inno-
cent;
She gave him to the Sacrificed:
On her courageous breast he leant,
The breast where beat the heart Of
Christ.
He left 1t for the block, with cries
OF victory on his severed breath.
That crimson head she clasped, her
eyes
Blind with the splendor OF his death.
And will the men of modern years
| Stern on the vOte-withhold from
| thee,
Thou prop, thou cross. erect in tears.
Catherine, the homage of his knee?

When the southerner Found Himself
Up Against Grape Juice Bar.
Washington Cor. New York Herald:
When the sun beats straight down on
Washington it gets pretty hot, and
such was the case today when tall,
lanky individual from the southland
strolled through the capitol looking at
the tariff-making senators and the rest
Of the sights.
"Whew!" he sighed, mopping his
forehead and wishing he were back
at the hotel where mint juleps flow
freely. "Whew!"
Then he saw something familiar. It
was on the senate side, in a room OF
it's own. Yes, there were bar glasses
and there was bar. And back Of the
bar-well, there were tall bottles Of
purple liquid. Next was bottle OF
cocktail cherries, two jars of juler
straws, a dish of lines and shaker
A negro with white linen coat was
polishing a glass.
Happy, the southerner hurried right
in. Up to the bar he went and smiled
He raised his foot to place 1t on the
bar rail, but there was none. the
smile faded. The dreadful truth ther
dawned upon him.
This was not bar at all-at least
not bar as he knew one. 1t was tn
senate restaurant soda fountain
sort of Bryan bar, as one might call II
for the purple liquid in the bottles wa

Leslie's Weekly: What family could

What railroad could run II the con-

Prosperity is suffering because there
is too much fussing by our legislative

Congress is fussing with the tariff,
with the banking laws, with corpora

capital, with Wall street in the north
and the cotton exchanges in the south.
Politicians are fussing, mussing, and
upsetting things generally. Yet we

a younger son, he was not eligible to
the claim to Hanover. Therefore,
when the old duke Of Cumberland and
his eldest son waived right to Bruins
wick, the kaiser thought he saw his
way clear to marry his daughter to
Ernest August, who could thus accede
to the throne Of Brunswick. But fate
intervened. The old duke of Cumber-
lands eldest son and heir was killed
last year. thus making young Ernest
August heir, not only to the duchies
of Cumberland and Brunswick, but
pretender to the throne Of Hanover.
And now Ernest August declines to
abandon his royal claims. He Is con-
sequently barred from the duchy OF
Brunswick. And there you area

The Kaiser and Hanover.

Indianapolis News: The wedding Of
Princess Victoria Louise, daughter Of
Emperor William Of Germany, and
Prince Ernest August, son of the old
Duke of Cumberland and pretender to
the vanished throne of Hanover. has
failed to effect q reconciliation be-
tween the two houses. The ghost of
the Guelph party still walks. which
goes to show that even the best-laid
plans of peasant and prince some
times 60 astray. The plans Of the
kaiser have proved no exception. The
Berlin gossips say that he long ago
determined to marry his daughter for
love and love only. However that may
have been, when young Ernest August
fell in love with Victoria Louise--and
there was the added possibility Of a
happy recOnciliation-why should the
kaiser object?
Thereby rests the tale of triumph
and disaster that makes up the his
tory of the old kingdom of Hanover.
In the fourteenth. fifteenth and six
teenth centuries Hanover experienced
varying fortunes, but it is not until
17O1 that its history has intimate con-
nection with the fortunes Of present
day Germany and England. BY rea-
son of marriage the kingdom Of Han
over became, under the terms Of the
act of settlement in 1701, a unit OF
the government Of Great Britain and
Ireland. The history of the English
Georges thereafter for number ol
years became the history of Hanover
On the death of William Nv. in 1887
an important change took place. I'm
der the law of Hanover woman could
not ascend the throne, and according
ly Ernest August-an ancestor OF the
kaiser's son-in-law-Duke Of Cumber
land, the fifth son of George ILL.,, and
not Victoria, succeeded to the kingdom
of Hanover.
Thus Hanover and Great Britain be
came separated, the HanOverian house
being also the house of the English
duchy of Cumberland. The Georges
of Hanover failed to read the signs
of the times. Arrogant, reactiOnary
blind to the progress the electorate
was making, they persisted in thei
endeavors to maintain an absolute
monarchy. There was friction within
and without. During the Bonapartl
wars Hanover occupied a conspicuOu
place, but throughout the jealousy o

ORGANIC EDUCATION.

School In Alabama Considers Impulses
and Capacities Of Children.
Ohio State Journal: There is a
school at Fairhope, Ala, devoted to
what is called organic education. 1t
is a school that recognizes the i'm
pulses and capacities of the pupils
and trusts to real life, under the di-
rection of the teacher, for the educa-
tion they get. It is not book edu-
cation, nor task education, nor a
denatured education. It develops the
child's powers by association out OF
doors, and interest in every day life.
In speaking of her plan the teach
er asks: 'Why should education in
sist upon being uneducationaly' That
is a very pertinent question. We have
perverted the very idea of education
which is to lead forth or develop the
powers with which child is endowed
We have gone back upon this idea
completely, and instead Of bringing
out the divine energy of the child, we
suppress 1t with knowledge and theory
AS the teacher further says: "Our in
sane desire to educate is fatal bar
rier to development. which is the onl!
true education"
It is enough to make q preache
swear to see the ignorance and ah
surdity that prevail in our educationa
processes. It is against nature; 1t i
against common sense; It is Treason
to the child. and yet the educationa
bosses persist in inflicting It upon tn
youth.

STAMFORD.
tStanfOrd WORLDLY

Through a report given last week
by one of the hoisting engineers at
the Lehigh coal mines, it Is learned
that development work in the Cotton
wood Coal company's properties at
that point is being pushed at rapid
rate. The preliminary operations have
practically all been completed and the
actual excavation of one Of the shafts
is now under way. This shaft Is al
ready sunk to depth Of over so feet
and half hundred men are engaged
in sinking it deeper. No time Is lost
at any hour of the day, three shifts
being employed, and it is stated that
this program will be followed until
after the first vein Of coal has been
tapped. The first coal under the shaft
now being sunk lies at depth of 203
feet and at the rate of progress now
being made it will be reached at no
very distant date. Some idea of the
extent of the work to be carried on
once the mines are really opened may
be gained from the fact that expert
ments show the coal veins to be from
seven to Is feet deep. It usually oc-
ours that where one vein of coal is
found two others lie Immediately be-
low it and the operators are confident
of finding this to be the case at Le-
high, although the actual situation
cannot be determined until the first
shaft is completed.
