They niu.t go to work systematically. The very next day the hoi warented and they took possession, the girls with brooms and cleaning nlotha, the boyt with whitewash und paint. They iut on new paper, thev bung fresh naualiB enrtaina at the windows, they put freak matting or carpets on the BOOra, There was n i ii 'ed to buy fornltura for there were attics full of discarded treasures, and Dorothy kttew the old ladies would rather have the old fashioned furniture than any n-w that could be bought. One lady sent in a gold band tea set, another a dinner set in blue and white. They had frifts of table linen and beddiag until they were oversupplied. "They are not the town's poor, thcyare guests of the town," Dorothy insisted, "'I hey have done more for Briefly la the past than Briarly eaa e. r do for them in return." While the girls arere putting the fnishlng touches to the house th" boyt tidied up the yard and let out beds plants. When all eras ready Dorothy sent each of the old ladies a daintily written invitation to a tea-drinking at Sunny side t 'ottage. What a commotion it caused at the poor farm. They had not been invited anywhere since they had come to this isolated place long months before. How they talked and laughed about it und almost cried: How they tried to fix each other up so they should not look too shabby! "Sunnyside Cottage I don't remember any such place," said dran 1nia Allen, wrinkling her forehead as she tried to tlunk where it niiifht be. "Most likely somebody has named their place that, lots of folks are aamlag their piaoaa, these days." replied Mrs. Milliken the latest comer to the poof farm and so the most conversant with the ways of the world, "i'or my part I don't care where it is as long as we're iinite I " They were hardly ready when Clarence Stirling came with his big three-seated wagon to take them to the village. The girls had cautioned him over ami over not to say anything of the surprise in store for them. Bo he skillfully parried all their questions, and kept them interested in the scenery and bits of news connected with the houses they passed. The girla were at the gate ' ' meet them. "Land sakes, I didn't know anybody lived here," exclaimed Mrs. Milliken. "Who did you say invited us. young man?" but Clarence had driven on out of hearing. "This is Baaayaide Cottage. MB you come In'.'" asked I'stelle. They were in no hurry, howerer. They must stop and admire the BoweBB and the sunshine coming through the trees. "It's the very house where Jason brought me as a bride, over 50 years ago!" exclaimed Mrs. Henderson. "I never expected to enter it again." "Oh, how pretty!" exclaimed Mrs. Marshall as thev came into the sitting room where were half a doseB cav chairs and a pretty sewing table. There arete hooka and work baskets, a canary in a cage, an ivy climbing up the wall, a shelf of plant-, a music box. This last was Dorothy's gift. Alreaid pe..ple were passing and repassing. It was time aopper was tarred. "Mrs. ILnderson. a- this i;-ed to be your home, suppose you playhostess, " said Ethel, h ading her to the lo ad of the table. "Mrs. Hal mere, a ill y ou serve?" "My don't it seem fOod to gel tea that is tea and not spoiled with m laeaee," exclaimed 0 readme Alien "And the bread is light and swe. t." commented Mrs. Atkins. "I told Mrs. Hunt I could make better bread than she gave us, but she never would let me try." "I tappOte we ought to bt going now, before it gets too dark." said Qtaadaaa Allen, after they had finished their feast. "Who did you ssy got up this tea for aaf 1 shall think about it for weeks." "You are not going back at all," explained Dorothy, to whom the girls bad given the pleasant task of diulging their carefully guarded secret. " I bis is- Sunnyside Cottng. It is your home.

How they slept in their own room . and how pleasant it was Ut h.i e a room to themselves. How pica-. nit it wns to get up next morning and get breakfast. How good the eggs and coffee, the fresh rolls and doughnuts were. A little later the girls came running in to see how they vveje getting on. tine brought a glass of jelly, another a chicken, another some fresh V erretables. "We've been organizing." said Mrs. Chalmers with a half laugh that was almost a sob. "As Mrs. Hender n used to live here, we'll call her the head of the house. She'll make a capital hostess. Mrs. Milliken is housekeeper. Mrs. Atkins is cook, I am chambermaid, Mrs. Marshall wants to be laundress, and i.randnia Allen will do the mending and look after the flowers." "Then it is to Mrs. Milliken as housekeeper that I'll give this," said Bettle, handing her a $10 bill. "You are to have that much every week." " an wc spend all that in a week?'' exclaimed Mrs. Milliken. "You don't mean they spent all that on us over there." "The town thought they did." "Why, we can live on the fat of the land nnd hae a friend to tea now and then." "God will bless you." exclaimed Mrs. Mar hall. "You have made six forlorn lives bright again."

The famous declaration of Corporal Tanner, "God help the surplus." when he entered Uon his occupancy of the post of pension commissioner, may be taken as the keynote of the republican policy in auch mattera.

"A GREAT FOOD FOR TRUSTS." . T. Awrlrai. SURRENDER OF ROOSEVELT. Tarie in. Iple. tkandourd br th l'rrlil-nl for Ike Umlm of uart, There is no longer any question that President HOQQOTtlt has abandoned any idea of tariff revision or reciprocity. Hit evident acceptance of the Ohio "compromise" demouat rates that. Last year President Roosevelt, In what wasdoubtloea a carefully considered apeev h on the tariff aud trust Issue, told us that the Sherman law w as Inadequate and a constitutional amendment was essential to control the trusts. The Ohio republican platform aaya, "Combinations for the monopoly of trade and kladfod unlawful purposea are directly amenable to penalties provided by republican legislation, " meaning, of course, that the Sherman law is ample to control the U ta Which of these statements now stands, that of the president or Senator Hanna? Neither do the same authorities agree on the tariff as affecting the trusts, while the Ohio platform, after declaring as above quoted on the i BB trol of monopolies, further aays: ' Nc w orthy interest is imperiled, but w hat ever will work public harm isrestrainec and that without resort to the demo cratic plan of destroying all American industries through tariff revision or otherwise." This is a plain statement that the trusts must be preserved, saya the Indianapolis Sentinel. This is not the first time that President Roosevelt has abandoned his tariff principles for office. It is not generally known that he was originally a pronounced free trader and a member of the New York Free Trade club !n the 80a. But after he had been elected to the legislature as an "independent" he went over to the Piatt crow d. which he had been elected to fight and resigned his membership in the Free Trade club, stating in his letter of resignation to Mr I'oultney Blgelow. the secretary. "I am a republican first and a free trader afterward." About a year ago Dr. Schunnann. one of President Roosevelt's good friends, announced as a campaign slogan for 1901, "Three R's Roosevelt. Reciprocity and Revision" of the tariff He thought lie understood the president's posi'ion, and so did everybody else The protection beneficiaries understood it in the same way. for "heir organs have repeatedly announced since then that President Roosevelt has "changed" hia views. He could not well change them if he did not hold them to begin with. The reason of the change Is obvious The taisff league people simply made him understand that he must accept Dingleyism If he wanted the nomination. And he has practically repiie i i am a candidate first and a reformer afterward." I n.ler Hnnariflt. "What Is Roosevelt ism?" asks an esteemed contemporary If we followed republican precedent set when Mr Cleveland was president, we should answer the question as follows: There are 90.000 textile workers on a strike In Philadelphia. There are thousands of men on strike in Chicaco Ninety per cent, of the building operations In New York city are at a standst!!!. HO.üoö workingmen are idle. 5 . families want food.
