set. All, is it not lovely?''
OF a sudden they were looking. not
at the sunset but into each others

wonderful, TRANSFERRING glow. and it
seemed as if there were nothing in
the whole world that he had not said.

Then it was hardly a moment until
the yellow stucco of the pension
jumped al their eyes, around a corner;
and there were the clergymans widow
and the teacher at the door. They
fell upon the carriage in a clamor of
explanation and sympathy; they were
at her side when he bowed over her
hand and kissed 1t, saying, "Aufwieder-
sehen."
That was all. There was never any
more. He did not come again. Or if
he came, she was not there, since the
next day they were on their way to
Bremen, summoned by cable to her
sisters deathbed. She never heard
from him or of him again. And she
had left her American address with
his aunt for any letters that might
need tN be forwarded, and stiff little
note of thanks and farewell-a perfect
ly natural note, such as any friend
might give or receive. There followed
weeks crowded with sorrow and bust

She had laughed and said that she

He laughed, too, and explained that 1t
was burned as custard. and some how
under cover of this she let him put her
hand on his shoulder and his arm about
her waist. She was grateful to him for
the matter-of-fact manner In which he
did 1t all. saying, You will have to

In this fashion they walked for some
twenty minutes. They were minutes not

certainly fascination in this revela-

Sailors Queer Customs.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
The sailors broad collars were de-
vised so that the powder or tar on the
wearer's queues should not come off on
the blouses. In those days every sailor
wore his hair in a queue. and either
had the Queue powdered or held togeth-
err by tar. This was not good for the
blouse or jacket underneath. So detach-
able broad collars were added. Sailors
stopped wearing queues a century ago.
but they still wear the wide collar. When
Lord Nelson died the British navy went
into mourning for him. Sailors put
broad, black ribbons on their caps and
black ribbons on their blouses And the
ribbons remain to this day not only on
the uniforms of British sailors, but on
those of other navies as well. The
broad ''bell-shaped" ends of sailors
trousers legs were thus shaped so that
the wearer might more easily turn his
trousers up above his knees when he
had to swab the decks. Deck swabbing
was a hateful and supposedly degrading
task. Hence the sailors called their
enemies '-swabs' as term of contempt.

Asserts That United States Leads In
 Peace Negotiations
 The country, 1 am thankful to say, is at peace with all the world, and many happy manifesto tions multiply about us of a growing cordialfty and sense of community of interest among the na- ttons, foreshadowing an age of settled peace and good will More and more readily each decade do the nations manifest their willingness to bind them selves by solemn treaty to the proc esses of peace. the processes of frank ness and fair concession. So far the United States has stood at the front of such negotiations. She will, I earnest ly hope and confidently believe, give fresh proof of her sincere adherence % the cause of international friendship by ratifying the several treaties of ar bitration awaiting renewal by the sen ate.
 In addition to these 1t has been the privilege Of the department of state to gain the assent. in principle. of no less than thirty-one nations, representing four-ffths of the population of the world. to the negotiation of treaties by which it shall be agreed that whenever differences of interest or of policy arise which cannot be resolved by the erdi- bary processes of diplomacy they shall be publicly analysed. discussed and re- ported upon by a tribunal chosen by the parties before either nation deter cnines its course of action
 There is only one possible standard by which to determine controversies between the United States and other nations. and that is compounded of these two eIements-our own honor and our obligation to the peace of the world A test so compounded ought easily to be made to govern both the establishment Of new treaty obliga- tions and the interpretation of tzloSe already assumed.

We are the friends of constitutional government in America. We are more than it's friends; we are its champions. because in no other way can our neighbors to whom we would wish in every way to make proof of our friendship work out their own development in peace and liberty.
 Mexico has no government. The at tempt to maintain one at the City of Mexico has broken down. and mere military despotism has been set up which has hardly more than the sem blance of national authority. 1t origi- mated in the usurpatien of Victoriano Huerta. who, after brief attempt to play the part of constitutional presi- dent, has at last cast aside even the pretense of legal right and declared himself dictator. As consequence a condition of affairs now exists in Mex leo which has made it doubtful wheth- CT even the most elementary and fund amental rights either of her own peo- pie or of the citizens of other coun- tries resident within her territory can long he successfully safeguarded and which threatens if long continued to tmperil the interests of peace, order and teleFable life in the lands imme- diately to the south of us.
 Even if the usurper had succeeded in his purposes, in despite of the con stitution of the republic and the rights of its people, he would have set up nothing but precarious and hateful power which could have lasted but a little while and whose eventual down fall would have left the country in a more deplorable condition than ever, But he has not succeeded, He has for feited the respect and the moral SUD- port even of those who were at one time willing to see him succeed Little by little he has been completely isolat- ed, By a little every day his power and prestige are crumbling, and the collapse is not far away. We shall not, I believe. be obliged to alter our policy of watchful waiting. And then, when the end comes, we shall hope to see constitutional order restored in dis tressed Mexico by the concert and en- eFgy of such of her leaders as prefer the liberty of their people to their own ambitions,
