a glurluKlr freah and unplctureariira

at reKUliirity were act forth with all tbe
cruel utieoinproniixlnK clcarneaa of the
California atmosphere. There waa the

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

Plney did not reply. 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

Canada City In tbe fierce and unregen

and higher colored faces, mors gayly

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

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.

same triumphal character. Teamsters

'The nineteenth century ran red
with the IiI.mkI of ruler, beginning iu
1801 with the killing of tbe Cxar Paul
of RuHei by soma of bl , noble.
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."

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

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.

comes from one of tbe consulting
physicians, who, while the Presi

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.
