A < 31 WGK OF HEART. Bourke Cochran, once a Democrat, the n a Republican, and now a very repentant Democrat again, has iold the story of his experience in bolting the Democratic party, and what the country has suffered from it. His words are worth repeating, as coming from a man who has the strength of his convictions. He says of the '90 election: "Rightly or wrongly, it was believed that property interests were at stake and the property class combined to win the election. But out of this alliance grew a tendency.

replete comfort.
But when the sun, with a last wink of his briglit cyclopean eye. at length disapf>eart'd behind the distant trees Amoret turned her attention aimlessly to the people alxiut her. An uninteresting and prosaic collection was her unspoken verdict save for a very evidently newly married couple who were too silly to be even amusing. What was there, Amoret mused, about a honeymoon that so invariably transformed even the most sensible i>e'>ple Into such insufferably sentimental idiots?

The “serious and dignified” young man across the aisle had been watching her. He guessed what had hap-
pened. *
How could he help her? Could he ask her to go into dinner with him? Of course not. -Hhe'd starve before she'd accept Well, he might as well dine himself and think over the situation while he did so. As he rose and walked ahead into the dining car Amoret opened her eyes. She stilled the impulse to jump up and follow him. He was the only person in the car that she liked the looks of. He was n thoroughbred from tip to to**. But there must be so :,e other way out of this awful predicament. She closed her eyes again. All that she could think of was the roll of bills which she had been so long saving for Ibis very trip and which she knew she had that very morning placed in her pocket-
book.

I—I”— Amoret stopped short in confusion. She had thought it would l>e so easy! "Yes, 1 know all about it,” Richard filled In assuringly. “Suppose we go in to breakfast together and talk it over
there.”
“How do you know all about it?" Inquired Amoret in astonishment “I'll tell you while we're at breakfast. We’ll have to go right in. They’re sounding the last call.” “Well, if you think”— But that’s as far as Amoret got in her hesitation, for Bichard had started determinedly ah* <1, :rud there was nothing for her to do but to follow—that is, uuiess she warned to risk a second fainting spelL At breakfast Richard launched the briliiant scheme of telegraphing back to her folks for more money.

Where on earth did he think it would come from? “Well, you see 1 live alone with my aunt, who is quite an old lady,” she explained, “and it would just worry her to death to get a telegram anyway, let uloue a telegram saying that I'd lost iny money. She didn’t want me to take the journey aloue in the first place, and I”— “Of course we won’t telegraph then,” broke in Richard brusquely. “You just let me back you till you get to San Diego. By the way, who are your friends there? Maybe I know them.” “Oh, another auut, sister of the one I live with, and her husband, Mr. Mau1 Chester!” “Daniel Manchester, the lawyer?” “Y'es. Do you know him?” “Very well, though I’ve never met his
family.”
“Isn't that providential?" sighed Amoret. “Then that makes it all right for me to ask a favor’of you, doesn't it?” “Y’es of course. At least it was all right anyway. And, say, we'U keep on taking our meals together, won't we? I Do aay yes.

Meanwhile Richard laid the girl gently down on the seat and got a flask of brandy from his valise. When the porter returned with the water and with | the excited maid bringing up the rear Amoret bad begun to show signs of consciousness. “Here, Surah,” ordered Richard (why Sarah he couldn’t have told for the life of him), “you take care of her while I go and get some soup. She ought to have gone in to dinner sooner, bub-but she didn’t.” Amoret did not refuse the soup. Indeed, she didn't think to question where it came from. She even allowed Sarah to coax her into eating n little chicken and afterward to superintend the making up of her berth. “I’ll make It all right with you in the morning,” Amoret assured her. “You shan’t lose”— She stoppe 1 short, the whole miserable predicament suddenly flashing over her again. But Saruh had not noticed the Interruption. “YV husband’s already done dnt,
honey.”
The curtains were shut tight, and Sarah had gone before Amoret could get up courage to attempt an explana-
tion.
“Amoret,” he said suddenly, ’T’ve got the greatest Idea. You remember that money you lost?” Amoret shrugged her shoulders. Why shouldn’t she rememlier It? “Suppose we send it as a wedding fee to Sarah. She's the one who really married us, you know.” ‘How can we when I lost it?” queried Amoret teasing him. “Oh, you know what I mean, sweetheart!” Amoret didn’t answer. Instead she turned her head away. Richard watched her curiously, waiting an explanation. Suddenly she faced him, looking at him In a half frightened, half mischievous way through her blushes. “I didn’t lost* the money after all, Dick. I found it the very next day In another part of my pocketbook. It was after we had breakfast together, and I—I didn't tell you. So there was really no reason, you see, for our getting married at all, dearest, except— except that I spent the money on my trousseau.”

Saruh left the young man staring
j blankly after her. Here was a situation!
In the morning tie porter’s “fi’<t call to breakfast” rang cheering’. through the car. Amoret heard and tried to forget ns-she went on wiiii her spiritless process of dres-ing. Richard heard and realized that he must take the bull by the lee- - lu other words, he must hr; e liii.. elf to speak to the young lady in distress and offer her a> istamv. In the course of half au h"ur Amoret appeared. She glanced up ami down the car, evidently looking for someone. Suddenly seeing Richard, to his utter astonishment she came

The dough thus formed Is then beaten with steel hammers on wooden anvils, and two laborers working together nt this task can fin Ish about forty pounds of the dough per day. A small addition of Japanese camphor and musk gives It Its peculiar smell. While still pliant the mixture is shaped In wooden forms and dried during fair weaiher.

Apprecittid t>.« CtsaliTut. That it is not always well to put on one's dowdiest garments when one goes to visit the poor is the moral of a story told in au English magazine recently. There were two philanthropists. according to the tale, one a professional and the other an amateur. The professional had arranged to take the amateur to a gathering of slum dwellers lu the east end of London. At the appointed hour the amateur, who happens to be a duchess and a great beauty, appeared at the house of her friend, a dazzling apparition in court dress, tiara and jewels. “Oh, my dear,” gasped the professional, falling helplessly into the nearest chair, “don’t you know that we are going to one of the lowest and most squalid slums? 1 can’t promise that you will bring any of that back with you.” But the beauty only laughed. "That's all right,” she said. “1 quite understand you. But poor people love beautiful things. Their children esjieeially are captivated with line dresses and feathers. Just wait and you will see!” And the professional did see. Those poor, half starved, half naked ’slum dwellers had eyes for no one but the dazzling young beauty who had done them the Infinite honor of coming to see them in her most beautiful frock and Jewels.
Not Much News. In the summer of 1903 an exploring expedition set out from Cook inlet Alaska, in an attempt to climb Mount McKinley, the highest peak on the American continent. They went In with a pack of cuyuses through a bun dred miles of tundra and then struggled for weeks over glaciers and through terrible hardships, to emerge at last on the Cbulitna river, down which they rafted to civilization, us represented by Cook inlet. As they came in. worn, ragged, almost dead from exposure and hunger, a tali old man strolled upshore with four white meu's dogs, says Robert Dunn in “The Shameless Diary of an Explorer.” They asked him the news of the world. “Waal, yer know the pope's dead,” he drawled, “and the cardinals held a sort of convention and elected a new pope. “Roosevelt he’s agreed to complain to the czar of Rooshia about them massacreed Jews, and some one's killed that Queen Dragon of Servla trying to Jump her '•Inim to the throne. And Roosbia’s c >iug to fight the Japs. The’ ain’t much happened this summer.”
Murdered by a Statue. The death of Kenith, the half mythical king of Scotland, was one of the most curious and remarkable in history, if It may l>e called a historical fact. It seems that Kenith had slain Cruthlintus. a son. and Malcolm Duffus. the king and brother of Fennella. She, to l>e revenged, caused WHtua, thu most ingenious artist of the time, to fashion a statue filled with automatic springs and levers. Finished ami set up this brazen linage whs an admirable work of art. In Its right hand Wiltus placed a ewer and in the left an apple of pure gold finely set with diamonds and other precious stones. To touch this apple was to court death. It was so arranged that any one guilty of such vandalism would be immediately riddled with arrows shot from loopholes In the statute's body. Kenith was invited to see the wonder and, klngllke land Just as Fennella hoped), tried to pluck the Imitation fruit. lie was instnnfTf' riddled with i>olsoned arrows, dying where he fell. Still Ahead. A congressman says he was riding In a smoking car on a little one track road and in the seat in front of him sat a Jewelry drummer. He was one of those wide awake, nevcr-let-any-one-get-the-better-of-him stylo of men. Presently tbe train stop|>e<l to take on water, and the conductor neglected to send back a flagman. A limited express, running it a rate of ten miles an hour, came along and bumped the rear end of the first train. The drummer was lifted from his seat and pitched head first against the sent ahead. His silk hat was jammed clear down over h!s ears. He picked himself up and settled back in his seat. No bones had been broken. Then he pulled off his hat, drew a long breath and, straightening up, said: “Hully gee! Well, they didn’t get by ns anyway!”
Got His Wish. At the height of their nightly quarrel the other day Mrs. Blank choked back a sob and said reproachfully: “I was reading one of your old letters today, James, and you said In It that you would rather live in endless torment with me than In bliss by vouraelf.” “Well, I got my wish,” Blank growled. The Dolphin Violin. The Dolphin violin was so named on account of the beauty of the wood, the back of the Instrument resembling the color of a dolphin. It was made by Stradivarlus In 1714. and it is considered the most beautiful violin in the world. It is owned by an Englishman and Is valued at £5.000.—Musical Home Journal.
Well Occupied In Either Case. It is beautiful to see a young girl start out with the avowed Intention of devoting her life to teaching school, an*! yet few people blame her seriously when she quits to get married.—Tombstone Epitaph.
A Hypocrite. Teacher (after explaining the character of the Pharisee)—And now what do we mean by a “hypocrite?” Pupil— Please, miss, a man wot says he U wot 6' Isn't, but he ain’t.—Punch.
