Fight on. But Have Fun.

Napoleon was a great fighter. As a
man we do not think much of him, but
he said one thing that has snap in it.
Conquest made me what I am and
conquest must maintain me-
That's it. When We stop fighting. We
stop winning. If we ever should come
70 place In life where there was moth
ing to do no hard knocks. no trying
things 10 bear, all the happiness would
go out of living.
There is no place on earth for the
man who will not do his share of the
fighting. Under the earth there is a
little place about two feet wide and
six long all ready for him: but that is
the only spot he can claim for his own.
So let's get all the fun We can out Of
life as We go along. The best way to
keep of wrinkles and grey hair is to
take anything that comes and use it to
get up bit higher. Soft snaps won't
do it. Wishing has no power, save as
Il is worked out into deeds. But smiles
and CHEEKY words and steady stepping
On and up viii bring the very best
there is in the worId.-E. L. Vincent
in Farm Life.

weed in flower garden.
Tn the evening after the ceremony
my wife babe goodby to her family ana
friends with so much emotion that /
wondered if she would be content m
our far distant home. Then we entered
/ the carriage that was to take us to the
station, Before starting my wife told
me to ask the coachman to stop al
the house Of a friend Of hers to whom
she wished to say goodby. I noticed
that Anna carried In her hand small
package, and I asked her why she had
not put II in a trunk or satcheI She
replied that It was glass and perish
able.
When we reached her friends
house she asked me to remain in the
carriage while she went fin and bada
her friend goodby. She would NOT be
gone more than two or three minutes.
I assented, She went to the door. stl
carrying the package. A young woman
admitted her; the two disappeared IN
side for about a minute, then Anna va-
appeared and returned to me-withoH.
the package. I saw no evidence Of an
emotional parting between the two girl
friends Indeed, both seemed absorbed
in something else.
From Annals home we passed into
Hungary. In the morning we were ST.
Budapest, and at the hotel 7 noticed
knots OF persons talking eZcitediy on
some subject and on inquiry learned
that an attempt had been made dur{ug
the night in the city we had left 70
.assassinate the Austrian diplomat. who
was preparing the way for the state
annexation. A woman had thrown
bomb through an open window into
room where her intended victim was
sitting. He was badly injured but not
killed The news did not appear in the
newspapers. tt was simply Whispered
from one person to another. Indeed
il was never published to the world.
when I rejoined my wife I told her
what I had heard She turned pale
and in two quick questions asked if tho
girl who had thrown the bomb had
been captured and if the attempt had
been successful The answer 10 the
first question I did not know. The sec
ond I answered mechanically, for m7
wife's emotion. taken with other
events, led me to suspect that she had
delivered to the assassin the bomb that
had been used.
THE look Of horror on my face re-
vealed TO Anna what was on MY mind
CIaspfng her arms about me. she COZ.
fessed that she had been a party To the
attempted assassination and begged ua
not to turn against her. Despite nay

Shortly after the assassination Of the
Austrian royalties in Serbia that

about it and noticed that he was under
considerable emotion.
If the subject is dissgreeable to
you Ned" I said. 'let as change II.
He made no reply for few mo-
ments, then lowering his voice said.
You know that my wife was born
and brought up in one Of the Balkan
states"

secretIve about your wife's past" I re
piled.
There is a reason for my secretive-
ness. The police Of the Balkan states
have lived in a constant state of OPP
preston by the Turks and of late years
in dread of being absorbed by one or
another of European sovereigns. My
wife had spent her childhood in ia
miiiartty with the barbarous acts Of
the Turks and when she became a
woman saw her country IN process of
passing into an empire lying to the
west"
He then told me the following story:
MY wife, as you know. is called
Anna. That is not her name, but
shall not give you her real name or tell
you where Is her birthplace. When
I went abroad before settling down 20

thence through all the Balkan states.

fancy to each other at once. Her FAM
lily was noble, and, she being both re-
fined and intelligent, there seemed no
reason why we should not be married
except that we were of a different race
After our engagement I told my
wife that I had learned about Aus
trian intentions concerning certain
Balkan states. I noticed that she
listened with deep emotion. She hated
the AusIrians and seemed to dread
their eucroachment My information
confirmed certain hints she had re-
cetved that the emperor Of Austria
was about to Appropriate her nat-e
state and that certain Austrian
Diplomat was then in the captain

ROOT S BID FOR THE PRESI
DFNCY

The recent speech Of former United
States Senator Elihu Root in the New

being discussed It is suIl pointed 10
as a bid for the republican nomina-
zion for president and urged by his
friends as evidence that he is the one
man qualified 70 amalgamate the war
ring factions Of the party. In this
speech that is being widely heraIded,
Mr. Root declared:
What is the government of this
state? What has It been during the
10 years of nv acquaintance with It?
The government of the constitution?
Oh, no; not half the time, or half way
When l ask what did the people find

mind goes back TO those periodic fits
of public rage in which the people
rouse up and tear down the political
leader, first of one party and then of
the other party
For nigh upon I don't know how
many years Mr.. Conklfng was the su-
preme ruler in this state the gov
ernor did not count, legislatures did
not count. comptrollers and secretar-
les OF state, and what not, did not
count It was what Mr.. Conkling said
and in a great outburst Of public rage
&c was pulled down.
Then Mr.. Plat ruled the state for
nigh upon 20 years. II was not the
governor it was not the legislature.
II was not any elected of1cer; it was
Mr.. Plat. And the capital was not

''Tt makes no difference what name

ne greater part Of the 40 years Of
NY acquaintance with the state gov
eminent has not been any man au-
thorized by the constitution or by the
