Cost of Fame.

Soon after victory had declared it
self in favor of the British arms at
the memorable battle of Blenheim the
Duke of Marlborough, in traversing
the ranks, observed a soldier leaning
in a pensive manner on the butt-end
Of his musket. His grace immedi-
ately accosted him thus: why SO
pensive. my friend, after so glorious
victory?" 'It may be glorious" re-
piled the son of Mars, "but | have
only earned fourpence by contributing
to all this acquisition of fame!"

Much in Brief Dream.

1t is written of one of the most
eminent of Englishmen who was die
tating to his amanuensis chapters OF
an important work, and while so en-
gagged was overcome by sleep. He
dreamed of matters of great moment,
of diplomatic conferences, exhausting
many days and weeks. Becoming
awake he chided his secretary for per
hitting him to sleep, and was astound
ed to be told by the scrivener that
he had not finished the last sentence
that had been dictated. Volumes have
been written >rammed with such ex
periences in infinite variety.

jects. Where did you ever get them?''
my father was a collector, on a
very small scale of course, and my
mother had passion for boarding
which prevented anything from going
out of this house after 1t had once
come into it."
"My husband" began Mrs. SEQ.
Vile, thoughtfully.
Miss Weeks stared in CONSERVATION
ct Mrs Scoville, who hastened to say:
"You wonder that can mention my
husband Perhaps you will not be SO
surprised when l tell you that in my
eyes he is a martyr, and quite guiltless
of the crime for which he was pun
ished"
"You think that?" There was real
surprise in the manner of the ques-
toner. Mrs. Scoville's brow cleared.
She was pleased at this proof that her
affairs had not yet reached the point
of general gossip.
Miss Weeks, am a mother. have
q young and lovely daughter. Can
look in her innocent eyes and believe
her father to have so forgotten his re-
sponsibilities as to overshadow her
life with crime? No, will not believe
it. Circumstances were in favor of his
conviction, but he never lifted the
stick which struck down Algernon
Etheridge."
Miss Weeks, who had sat quite still
during the utterance Of these remarks,
idgeted about at their close, with
what appeared to the speaker, sud
den and quite welcome relief.
"Oh!" she murmured; and said no
more. 1t was not topic she found
easy of discussion.
The sadness which now spread over
the very interesting countenance OF
her visitor. offered her an excuse for
the introduction of far more mo-
mentous topic; one she had burned to
introduce, but had not known how.
Mrs. Scoville, hear that Judge
Ostrander has got your daughter a pi.
ano. That is really wonderful thing
for him to do. Not that he is so close
with his money, but that he has al
and companionship. 1 suppose you did
not know the shock it would be to him
when you asked Eela to let you into
the gates
No! l didn't know. But it is all
right now. The judge seems to vel.
come the change. Miss Weeks, did
you know Algernon Etheridge we'll
enough to tell me if he was as good
and irreproachable man as they all
say?"
He was good man, but he had a
dreadfully obstinate streak in his dis
position and very set ideas. l have
heard that he and the judge used to
argue over point for hours. And he
was most always wrong. For in.
stance, he was wrong about Oliver"
"Oliver?"
Judge Ostrander's son, you know
Mr.. Etheridge wanted him to study
for a professorship; but the boy was
determined to go into journalism, and
you see what success he has made
of it. AS professor he would prob
ably have been failure
Was this difference of opinion on
the calling he should pursue the cause
of divers leaving home in the way
he did," continued Deborah, conscious
of walking on very thin ice.

of the State Department, automatic
ally becomes acting secretary of state.

deep personal affection. The letters

sRYAN's LETTER TO PRESIDENT

Resisnins Cabinet Position and Reply
Made by Wilson.
Washington, June g. Secretary
Bryan's letter of resignation to Pres
ident Wilson was as follows.
My Dear Mr.. President: 1t is with
sincere regret that l have reached the
conclusion that | should return to you
the commission of secretary of state,
with which you honored me at the be-
ginning of your administration.
Obedience to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government note in which |
cannot join without violating what |
deem to be an obligation to my coun
try and the issue involved is of such
moment that to remain member OF
the cabinet would be as unfair to you
as it would be to the cause which is
nearest my heart, namely, the preven-
ton of war.
/ therefore respectfully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the
note is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour. Alike desirous of reach
ing a peaceful solution of the problems
arising out of the use of submarines
against merchantmen, we find our
selves differing irreconcilably as to
the methods which should be en-
ployed.
1t falls to your lot to speak officially
for the nation; | consider it to be
none the less my duty to endeavor as
private citizen to promote the end
which you have in view by means
which you do not feel at liberty to
use.
In severing the intimate and pleas
ant relations which have existed be-
tween us during the past two years.
permit me to acknowledge the pro-
found satisfaction which 1t has given
me to be associated with you in the
important work which has come be-
fore the State Department and to
thank you for the courtesies extended
With the heartiest good wishes for
your personal welfare and for the sue
cess of your administration, l am, my
dear Mr. President, very truly yours

was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Bryan: l accept your
resignation only because you insist
upon its acceptance; and regret it
with much more deep regret with a
feeling of personal sorrow. Our two
years of close association have been
very delightful to me. Our judgments
have accorded in practically every
matter of official duty and of public
policy until now: your support of the
work and purposes of the administra-
ton have been generous and loyal be-
yond praise, your devotion to the du-
ties of your great office and your
eagerness to take advantage OF every
great opportunity for service it Of
fered has been an example to the rest
of us: you have earned our affection
ate admiration and friendship. Even
ject we seek, but only in the method
by which we seek it.
1t is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the secre-
taryship of state goes so much deeper
than regret. I sincerely deplore it.
Our objects are the same and we ought
to pursue them together. | yield to
your desire only because / must and
wish to bid you God speed in the part
ing. We shall continue to work for
the same causes even when we do not
work in the same way With affec-
