The fore grnund wa a glurluKlr freah and unplctureariira niinliitc town, whose Irregular attempt a at reKUliirity were act forth with all tbe cruel utieoinproniixlnK clcarneaa of the California atmosphere. There waa the atraljrlit Main atret, with Ita new brick block of "stores," ending abruptly axainst a tangled bluff; there waa the rnthloaa clearing In the aedato pines wLera the hideous spire of the new elm re b Imitated the, soaring of the sol emn shafta It bad displaced with al most Irreligions mockery. Tet this fore ground wa Cissy's world ber life, her sole girlish experience. She did not, however, bother her pretty bead with the view Just then, but moved her cheek up and down before the glass the better to examine by tbe merciless jrlare of the sunlight a few freckles that starred thu hollows of her tem ples. Like others of her sex, she was a poor critic of what waa her real beauty and quarreled with that peculiar tex ture of ber healthy skin which made her fnce as eloquent In ber sun kissed cheek as in her bright eyes and expres sion. Nevertheless' she was somewhat consoled by the ravishing effect of the bow U not she had Just tied and turned away not wholly dissatisfied. Indeed as the acknowledged belle of Canada City and the daughter of Its principal banker small wonder that a certain frank vanity and childlike Imperious ness were among her faults and her at tractions. She bounded down tbe stairs and Into tbe front parlor, for their bouse pos sessed the unheard of luxury of a dou ble drawing room, albeit tbe second apartment contained a desk and was occasionally need by Cissy's father In private business Interviews with anx ious seekers of "advances" who shun ned the publicity of tbe bank. Hers she Instantly flow Into the arnjs of her bosom friend, Miss Dney Tlbbs, a girl only a shade or two less, pretty than herself, who, always more or less 111 at ease In these splendors, was awaiting her Impatiently. For Miss Tlbbs was merely the dnnghter of the hotel keep er, and, although Tlbbs waa a south erner and had owned "his own nig gers" In the states, she was of Inferior poaltlnn and a protege of Cissy's. "Thank goodness you've come," ex claimed Mlas Tlbbs. "for I've bin slttln here till I nigh took root What kep yer "IIow does It lookT" responded Cissy as a relevant reply. The e)t referred to Cissy's new bat and to the young girl the coherence wua perfectly pla:n. Miss Tibbs looked at "It" severely. It would not do for a protegee to be too complaisant "Ilem! Must hare cost a heap o' money." "It did." said Hwy.' "Came from the best milliner tn fan Ftnnclsco." "Of conrne," said Plney. with balf assumed envy, "wbeo your popper runs the bank and Just wallows In gold."'. "Never mind, dear," said Cissy cheer fully. "So'll yonr popper some day. I'm going to get mine to let your popper Into sotnetbing-rditch stocks and such. Tea! True, O king! Topper'H do any ihlng for mc." she added a little loftily. Loyal a's Plney waa to ber friend, she waa by no means convinced of this. Bhe knew the difference between tne two men and had a vivid recollec tion of hearing net own father express bis opinion of Clsay'a respected parent as a "gold shark" and "quarts miner crusher." It did not. Iiowrver. affect fcer friendship for Clasy. Blie only said, "Let's romp!" caught Cissy around the waist pranced with her out Into the veranda and gasped, ont of breath, "Where are we going first?" "Down Main street" said Clasy promptly. "And let ns stop at Markham'a store. They've got some new things In from Sacramento." raid Plney. "Country styles," returned Cissy, with a supercilious air. "No, Besides Markbam's bead clerk la getting too presumptuous. Just guess! He asked me. M ile I ' was baying something. If I enjoyed the dance last Monday." "Hut yon danced with him," said tbe simple Plney In astonishment "Put not in hie store among hla cns-! artrnavr tuili. mf aanlAtitlT. -Nv 1 We're coir; lown Main street past j Beca tup's. u n n n u eecamp s. i roe. oecamp gin. are sure theIr borlH, , on)ler to be at their windows looking out h,' inspiring -ryes. nnJ -Vaquero This hat will Just turn m green- i B1Uy - charging them full tilt brought greener than ever up his mustsng on Its hanncbes and -Wre Just horrid.

The engineer bad seemed to ber to be a' singularly attractive young man, yet she was equally impressed with Clsay'a superior condition which could find flaws In such perfection. Following ber friend down tbe steps of tbe veranda, they passed Into the staring graveled walk of the new gnrden, only recently recov ered from the wild wood. Its accurate diamond aud heart shaped beda of vivid green set tn white quals borders giving it tbe appearance of elaborately Iced confectionery. A few steps farther brought them to the road and tbe wood en sidewalk to Main street which car ried civic Improvements to the hillside and Mr. Trixlt's very door. Turning down this thoroughfare, they stopped laughing and otherwise assumed a con scio.,8, half artificial air. For It was the hour when Cciuda City lounged listlessly before Its shops, Ita saloons. Its oillces and mills or even held buy meetings In the dust of the roadway, and the pussage down tbe principal street of Its two prettiest girls was an event to be viewed aa If It waa a civic procession. Hats flew off as they pass ed, place was freely given, .Impeding barrels and sacks removed from the wooden pavement and preoccupied ln dwellers hastily summoned to the front door to do homage to Cissy Trixlt and Plney us "They went by. Not but that Canada City In tbe fierce and unregen erate days of Its youth bad seen fairer and higher colored faces, mors gayly bedizened, on tts thoroughfares, but uever anything so fresh and Innocent Tbey stood there all nnconscloualy reverencing their absent mothers, sla ters and daughters In their sponta neous homage to tbe pair and seemed to feel tbe wholesome breath of tbetr eastern homes wafted from the freshly Ironed skirts of these foolish vlrglna as tbey rustled by. I am afraid that neither Cissy nor Plney appreciated this feeling few women did at that time Indeed these young ladles assum ed a slight air of hauteur. , "Really, tbey do sture so," said Cissy, with eyes dilating with pleasurable emo tion. "We'll have to take the back street next time." Plney, proud In the glory reflected from Cissy and In ber own, answered, "We will sure." There wss only one Interruption to this' trinmphnl progress, aud that waa so slight as to be only noticed by one of tbe two girls. As they passed the new works at tbe mill tbe new en gineer, as 1'lney bad foreseen, was leaning against the. doorpost smoking a pipe. He took his bat from bis head and bis pipe from his mouth as tbey approached, greeted them with an eaay "Uood afternoon." yet wtth a glance that was quietly observant and toler antly critical. mere," said Cissy when they bad passed, "didn't I tell youT Did you ever see such conceit In your born days! I bope you did not look at him." Pluey, conscious of having done so and of having Hashed under bis scru-J uny, nevenneiess stoutly asserted tnat sbe bad merely looked at him "to see who It waa." But Cissy waa placated by passing tbe Becamps cottage, from whose window tbe three strapping daughters of John Becamp. lately an emigrant from Missouri, were, aa Cissy bad surmised, lightening the household duties by gazing at the, to them, un wonted wonders of the street Wheth er tbelr complexions, still bearing traces of tbe alkali dust and Inefficient nourishment of tbe plains, took a more yellow tone from tbe spectacle of Cis sy's hst I cannot aay. Cissy tonight they did. Perhaps Plney was nearer tbe truth when she suggested that tbey were only "looking" to enable them to make a homemade copy of the bat next week.

There were over 60 atwaasioatlons or attempts at anHawd nations of ruling statesmen and crowned beada, begin ning with the Czar Pml and ending with Pmiitent McKluley. ; But a clear distinction cau be drawn bv. tween ihoae which occurred prior ,to 1894 and those which have crowded the few years since Car nut full. : Carnot in 18U4 waa the flrxt avowed work of the modern revolutionary anarchiHtrt. whose' propaeauda of murder ia aimed against ail govern meat of whatever character and bow ever liberal and free. Every - si nation and attempt at assassination since ' then ha been " their work. They have been exceedingly busy and tbelr bloody harvest has been uncommonly fruitful. Wihin seven years they have shot tha presidents of tbe two greatest republics la the world, beside killing tbe monarch of a great Power, tbe Eiopreaa of another great Power, the prime minlater of atiil another European kingdom, and have attempted tbe life of the heir to Britain's t'.rone." The Springfield Republican. AL0V1NU WIFE'S TRIBUTE.' At New Orleans, during the trip acroes tbe (Joutiueut la.-t Alay, Mrs. McKlnle- , in a conversation- with a visitor, paid tribute t) the domestic virtues of her husband. In the pic ture we see a grand man and love. able. But the painter! is it cot a noble womau who cau awake such devotion and thoughtful attention? lior heroism was grantUy ' shown during tbe week of uiTTlug that came to bur loved one, a d during tbe ceremonies attend! ng bis funeral. There was no grief prostration, yet we can imagine that ber sorrow wan not less poignant The following iove homage was teudi-red at a time when it could in no way be effected by the pronpect of separation by death but when he was surrounded by applauding lhousauds Sbe said: "Do you kuow Mj. M'Kinle? Ah, no one can know bun, because to appreciate hiiu one most know him as I do, and 1 am not speaking now of MuJ. M. Kiuley as tbe IVtwi- dent. I am speaking of him aa my husband. If any one could know what it is to have a wife sick, com olaininir. always an . invalid for tweuty-tlve years, seldom a day well, and yet never a word of uokindneee baa ever passed bis iipe; be is just the same lender, thoughtful, kind gentle man I knew when first ho-came and sought my hand. 1 know him be cause I am his wile, and it is my proudest pleasure to say this, hpl be cause he I the Prefident, but be cause be is my hunbaud. 1 wish lb. 1 1 could have eeeii him yester day . I love to see him among the people whom he seeks to serve so faithfully. But I read his speeches this morning. . I read all bis speech es; l only wian mat x coviu neip him as I should. But be is so iiotl, so good, so patient. He give me all the time he came. lie ;;evtr for gets me, no matter bow buy be is. But I will be glad when he l out of public life. I did not want him to run a second time. I thought be had done enough for the country, and now I know that be has done enough, and when his term expires he will come home and we will w i de down quietly and be will belong to me." ' AVOID EXiWiERATIO.1. ' Men who do cot intend it some times utter mischievous things and arouse bitter feeling In others. The truth may be spoken in tbe language of exaggeration and thus do aa great harm as a direct lie. It ia not Im probable that those error which are most lurtful, spring from an exag gerated statement of what l. true. Itls in this manner tb sniwt per nicious errors are given some sembl. ance of truth. Unthinking men see the truth, but fail to ree its false set ting, and so accept tbe whole mam as truth. Recently we beard one who de sired to condemn avarice. This is a mean, contempible vice, bat nut many men In com inanity are real ly avaricious. The greater number of men are earnestly and honettly striving to gain a competency, wealth it may be, bat not great riches. Under the modern condi tions of buainea, men must do this early In life, If st all. Thi Is the 'rule. We must have gained withUlj, t h. VM1ra what our fathers were able to galu only by long endeavor. We rush after things. Our moral ist sees this rush, and not belug trained to close analytical thought, conclude that all men are after the "Almighty Dollar;" that the deetre to acquire wealth quite absorbs fie time and thoughts of men; that to the neglect of higher and nobler aspirations the mass of men wor.ihl a golden caif. Men have forgot; en the selt-sauritiolug, heroic spirit of their fathers and are moved only by love of tne "Almighty Dollar." This is . misleading, it Is fa'se and .mischievous. ; Never la our history have men been more liberal In giv ing out of their substance iu support of every enterprise for the benefit of their fellows. The weak, tbe do fenceless, the unfortunate, the er ring, never before received such gracious and efficient help as their more fortunate fellows gladly ex tend to them uow. Tbe heroic spirit is not dead, not even sleeping, Grearer numbers of men and women are possessed of the true heroic spirit than ever before. The fathers may Indeed, look proudly on their child ren and children's children, for theesj have shown their heroism, are exhibiting it every day In some of the walks of life. There is less 6f selttshness and avarice among men today than at any former period. There Is more of the berolo spirit. Men live in purer; better atmosphere than ever before. They are moving forward nd upward. A few men of limited -education and small experience may amuse themselves With mock heroics, but the great heart of our American peo ple beats true and right Gasette. HcK ISLET'S 0UA1MT UCMOK. Slotios revealing the late Presi dent's quaint humor during his last week on earth are being told Irom day to day In Buffalo. This one comes from one of tbe consulting physicians, who, while the Presi dent's condition the first of last week was regarded aa serious, did t ot wish to see It Iu print.' Ou Mon day, when every one was happy over the apparent improvement in Ibe President, Doctors Mann, Rixey, Park and Mynter were iu his room feeling his pulse and getting the necessary data for a bulletin. "The President ktpt up a running conversation with us," said the in formant, "aud for very good reasons we did not want him to exhaust his strength uselessly. One of the doctors stepped t'l the bedside auu said. 'Mr. McKluley, you are not to talk; we have decided you must not talk.' ;ine rresiaenrs Dig, dark eyes were bent on the one who gave the order," said the narrator, "aud, without moving a muscle of his face, he said, 'Well, I supose you gentle man think you don't have a chance very often to boas the President of the United States, and now you are improving your opportunity." " The shot was so unexpected that the doctors looked at each other in pleased amazement, and when they got outside the sick room they all had a good laugh. A MPAMAIliril TK1BITE. Juan d' Aljoris, born in Madrid, and once a Spanish soldier, doffed bis hat and bowed bis bead to-day before the balf-mast flag and tbe picture of the dead chieftain, i "Even ln Spain," said the man who fought for the red an I gold of old Castile, "there will be mourning today, and mourning oi the deepest, truest kind. Tbe Spanish people never hated McKinley, and they will honor him in death as In life a man who was a good ruler, a merciful enemy and a kindly friend. "I have known Admiral Cervera in the old home, and heavy will be tbe heart of our great sailor now. He ever spoke of McKinley as his ideal of a ruler the ballot-chosen master of a contented people." Tbe President McKlo ley's first thought, after he was shot, it is re lated la the preiw despatches, wss for his wife. "Be careful about ber. Don't let ber know," he said. His second thought wa for his waaeiu, "Let no one hurt him." His third expression was one of regret lest he might be "the cause of trouble to the Exposition." - Tbe laws of Fr nee cut off anarch lt from notoriety.
