The Finest Tbinos.

The Finest Things.
Endurance, Francois own negro boy,
brought note to Roanoke house on a
morning five days after. 1t read:
MY Dear Miss Hampton:

Mademoiselle sent a fair sheet of
paper with a few unsteady scratches
across 1t, and sat down to live over

ridden to Norfolk for the day-had
Francois known of that, one wonders?
Lucy, waiting in that small stately
study with the dim portraits and the
wide vague view across the fields of
the James river. heard the gay hoof
beats of Aquarelle pound down the
gravel under the window, heard Fran
co.'s deep gentle voice as he gave the
horse to Sambo, and waited one min
ute more, the hardest minute of all.
Then the door had opened and he stood
there-the miracle, as it seems at such
moments to woman, possibly to a
man-of all the gifts and qualities
worth loving.
He had made his precise bow, and
she had heard his voice saying gently:
Good morning, mademoiselle," and
the door was closed and they were
alone together. In flash she felt that
it could not be endured, that she must
escape. She rose hastily.
'I'm sorry 1 must go; cannot
stay"
But Francois had laughed and taken
her hand and was holding it with a
tender force which thrilled her. He
understood. She knew he understood
the shame and fear of woman who
has given love unasked; she was safe
in his hands; she knew that. With
sigh she let her fingers rest in his and
sat down again and waited.
Dear Mademoiselle Lucy" said the
deep kind voice, my first friend in
Virginia, my comrade, my little
scholar"
Why did Lucy grow cold and quiet
at these words OF gentleness? Fran
co.'s was sitting beside her, holding
her hand in both his, gazing at her
with the clearest affection in his look.
Yet she braced herself against she did
not know what. The voice went on
with its winning foreign infections, its
slip of English now and then, and Its
ever-to-be-described power of reach
ing the heart.
"See, mademoiselle," said Francois,

CONVICT SHOT TO DEATH
Guard at Joliet (lIl.) Prison Kills
Prisoner-Battles With
Another.

Joliet, Ill, Feb. Oscar Won Ha-
gen, graduate Of Heidelberg university,
In Germany, son of a German army
officer, and said to be a baron
who was sent to the state pen
ltentiary here from Chicago for rob-
berry, was shot and killed here by a
guard. Won Hagen was trying to es-
cape from q stone quarry operated by
the prison when the guard fired. The
bullet struck him squarely between
the eyes. At the same time several
other prisoners dashed for liberty.
They were captured and after des-
perate fight subdued. It was believed
that Won Hagen had planned a general
delivery of all the prisoners in the
quarry.

PRICES CONE DOWN
Beneficent Effect of New Tariff
Already Felt.
Reduction in Wholesale Price of Wool.
en- Goods Is Noted, and Consumer
VIII Reap the Benefit of the
Lower Figures.

The new tariff has caused a sharp
reduction in the wholesale price OF
wooden goods for the fall trade OF
1914. American-made worsteds, ser.
ges, cheviots aud the like are quoted
from 20 to 81 cents per yard cheaper
than the prices of year ago. This is
declared to be in anticipation OF
competition from abroad. When that
competition becomes fact, further
reductions will be in order.
The question most discussed in
trade circles is whether the ultimate
consumer will get the benefit OF lower
prices. The general opinion seems to
be that he will not. We have not the
slightest doubt that he will
Naturally, jobbers and dealers of all
sorts will do their best to take, up the
slack caused by lower wholesale
prices. They may succeed for time,
though this is rather unlikely. But
sooner or later. the difference is bouno
to be felt all along the line, and the
ultimate consumer will reap his due
reward.
This Is likely to show first in better
clothing for the same price, rather
than the same clothing for lower
price, but It will be felt in every way
before long. The only way to make
consumers pay the old extortionate
rates would be a vast clothing trust
and the season promises to be un.
healthy for trusts.

States; and
Whereas, By the joint resolution
above mentioned it thereupon became
unlawful to export arms or munitions

limitations and exceptions as the pres
ident should prescribe;
"Ncw, therefore, l, Woodrow VIII
son, president of the United States Of
America, hereby declare and proclaim

Of neutrality-a deliberate departure
from those practices under well con-

which have now ceased to exist. It
was intended to discourage incipient
revolts against the regularly consti-
tuted authorities Of Mexico il
"Sinca that order was issued the
circumstances of the case have under

no constitutional government in Mex

President Wilson's Administrators.
A regional bank under the new cur
rency law should be established at
Richmond, Va. in the opinion of for
mer Gov. M. r. Ansell Of South Caro-
lima, who joined the southern repre-.
sentatives in Washington to urge the
selection of the Virginia city. Gov
ernor Ansell has retired from politics
temporarily, at least, but he is alive
to the interests and needs Of the
south, and for that reason he thinks
one of the district banks under the
new law should be located at Rich
mond.

the record President Wilson has made

lie that had 1t not been for the driv.

would have delayed the passage Of the

cause he is a man who does things
that the south delights In the prest
dent.
I'VE have had 20 i'll effects from
the tariff, though some of our indus
tries were in measure affected by it.
The currency bill has been accepted
as first-class legislation and has
brought about feeling of relief In fl.
