THE ORGANEST

By Florence Atwater
The organest was seated at his organ
In church,
In some beautiful woods of maple and
birch,
He was very weary while he played upon
the keys.
But he was a great organest and always
played with ease,
When the soul is weary,
And the wind is dreary,
] would like to be an organest seated all
day at the organ,
Whether my name might be Fairchild or
Morgan,
! would play music like a vast amen,
The way 1t sounds in church of men,
Florence read her poem over seven
or eight times, the deepening pleasure
of her expression being evidence that
repetition failed to denature this work,
but, on the contrary, enhanced an APP
areciatve surprise at its singular mer-
-lisssr~ Finally she folded the sheet of
paper Win DELICATE carefulness uny
usual to her. and placed Il inagher
skirt pocket. Then she went Town
stairs and out into the back yard.
With thoughtful and determined eyes
she 0bliqued her gaze over the in
tervening fences to the repelent sky
line formed by the too-simple profile
Of her cousin Herbert's fathers sta
BILE. Her next action was straight
forward and anything but prudish; she
climbed the high board fences, one af-
ter the other. until she came to a
pause at the top of that wherein the
two journalists had lately made them
selves so 0diously impressive.
Before her, If she had but taken
note of them, were a lesson IN history
and the markings of profound transi-
tion In human evolution. Beside the
old frame stable was little brick
garage, obviously put to the daily use
Intended by its designer. Quite as OBJ
viously the stable was obsolete; any
body would have known from its out
side that there was no horse within

pastoral age, II might he called,

rhiDes that do away with laboring ami
mails and will proceed presently to
machines doing away with laboring
men, although II Is true that COWS
may remain In vogue for some time.
In spite of the fact that they are
already MIXED by electricity, the milk
itself must yet be constructed by the
row.
All this was lost upon Florence.

tation In favor of peace, at the
first news Of war with Prussia, infIu.
eneed him to leave the country and he
made an unforgettable trip to South
America, where after many failures
and laborious existence, he became
an employee of Madariaga, the CEN
taur.
Don Madariagas fortune was enor-
nous. He had gained his first money
as a fearless trader, and with his
earnings had bought vast tracts OF
land, devoting them to the raising of
cattle. Though he had capricious
and despotic character he nevertheless
felt certain fondness for his new
French overseer. One morning Des-
meyers saved his life.
"Thanks, Frenchy." said the ranch
man, much touched. "You are an all
round man and ] am going to reward
you. From this day shall speak to
you as ! do to my family"
Desnoyers soon married Luisa, Ma
dariaga's elder daughter, while a
young Geinian, Karl Hartrott, a recent
arrival at the ranch, married Elena,
her younger sister. Seated under the
awning on summer nights the ranch
man surveyed his family around him
with sort Of patriarchal ecstasy.
"Just think of II, Frenchy," he said
II am Spanish, you French, Karl Ger
man. my daughters Argentiniaas, the
cook Russian, his assistant Greek, the
stable boy English, the kitchen serg-
ants natives, Galiclans, or Italians, and
among the poems are many castles and
laws :. And yet all live In peace.
In Europe, we would have probably |
been In grand fight by this time, but |
here we are all friends"
Julio, the son Of Desnoyers, was the |
favorite grandchild of Madariaga.
"Ah, the fine COWBOY What pretty |
fellow you are r. he would say. "Have |
good time. for grandpa is always |
here with his money"
One evening the patrons horse came |
slowly home without its rider. The old |
man had fallen on the highway and |
when they found him he was dead.
The Hartrotts moved to Berlin at |
once and the Desnoyers<went to Paris,
each household In possession of an
enormous fortune. Besides establish
ing his family In an ostentatious house
I'm Paris, Desnoyers bought a castle,
villeblanche-surM Marine, a mixture of
pelace end fortress, where he could
put his rapidly accommodating pur-
chases Of paintings, furniture, statues
all those things which he carried
away from the auctions which 1t had
now become his habit to frequent.
The only disappointment In Desnoy-
ers' new life came from his children
his daughter Chichi because of her In
dependence and Julio because of his
almless existence. Julio has had to
make a trip to South America In order
to realize on bequest from his grand
father so that he might marry the fas-
chatting and frivolous Marguerite Lau-
rier, with whom he had become In
iatuated.
Suddenly the cloud Of war cast It's
shadow over this family. The self
sufficient DIR. Julius Won Hartrott said

We'll Known Fur Trader Makes Protest Against
 Working of Nelson Act
George W. Goshaw Declares That New Law Will Work
 Hardship in Alaska

Recently George W. Goshaw, writing from Seattle, anvises that the passage of the Nelson bill, which proposes to cut off a laage area of the Third division, in the vicinity of the Kuskokwim valley west of Cape Newenham, will work great injury to Alas ka. and that residents should take the matter up and defeat the measure if possible. Mr. Goshaw, who is perhaps better acquainted with the region than any other Alaskan, having traversed it many times, buying furs, sug- gests that action be deferred until the Alaska legislature meets and gives Alaskans a chance to ex- press an opinion on the subject. Throwing this section into the Second division he believes would work hardship on the residents, who would be compelled to go to Nome to transact business. Del egate Grigsby and Judge Bunnel of the Fourth division, who is also well posted on the region. have voiced a strong protest, but as is usual with such matters, the ad- vice of residents of the territory is not considered worth anything.
 Senator Nelson's reasons for proposing the change are some what ambiguous, and have not taken into consideration the wishes of Alaskans, so far as is known.
 MT. Goshaw states that his com- pany put in two additional sta- tions this season, one at Shis- mareof island, in the Arctic and one on the Upper Kuskokwim at Chaglamute, and attempted to put one at St. Lawrence island, but owing to storms was forced to jettison the cargo to save the schooner and those aboard, hard job in the terrific seas running. The company vessels could not get into the North Cape station, which was supplied last year, ow- ing to heavy Arctic ice, but will try again next year.

 Referring 10 your letter of the 2lst inst. it is true that we shipped about s30:O 100000 mrs through the bank to Well Bros. this season.
 The principal reason we ship ped this amount to them was be- cause they handled our business satisfactorily and paid fair price for the goods.
 We did receive Veil circular and you deserve credit for this. However, we shipped to several other houses which did not mail us any advertising matter. The reason Veil got the big end of our business was because he treated us right.
