T came to pass > —if it hadn’t I wouldn’t hare told you. But, to resume: Grimes, the newspaper man, had married an upper-case

widow with a fortune big enough—so it was talked in the local room—to buy out the paper upon which he had slaved, “turn it over to the devil," and never miss the investment By the devil was meant in this case the little devil of the composing-room. The paper had been too long in the service of the other personage of like tit^e to cause any confusion on this point among members of the staff. “Well, Grimes, 1 suppose you will take up your life work now,” said the managing editor, with a faint smile, as Gnmes came in to take his P. P. C. If Grimes mistrusted a note of sarcasm in his superior's remarks, he was too good-humored to resent it. Moreover he had not quite awakened to the fact that his “settling down” to his “life work” had become a jest and a by-word among his associates at the office. “Yes, I suppose so. I shall take a little rest at any rate,” replied Grimes. “I shall look for your name in the content tables of the magazines, and expect a novel from your publishers for review before the year is over.” “Well, it will be a little change from the ‘demnition daily grind,’ I imagine,” admitted Grimes. “Of course! It's the opportunity to realize the ambition of your life, in a literary way. No wolf to howl, and a gentleman’s leisure in which to spin your dreams. ” Grimes felt that he was bound to say -something in self„-defense against the .implied accusation that he was henceforth to be a deliberate pensioner upon the bounty of a rich wife. “Yes, I’ve been grinding away here for a goock many years and haven’t been as free a spender as some of the boys. I’ve got enough laid by to give ns a nice little trip and then allow me to try my luck, without hurry or worry, at the work that I’ve had in mind so long. Of course I’ve done a scrap now and then while holding down my desk—but only a trifle. To do good literary work a man must be absolutely at ease, he must feel that he has all the time there is at his disposal, that he can go and come as the spirit moves and mood dictates and—” “Excuse me just a moment, Grimes,” interrupted the managing editor, “I’ve got to speak to the political man before he goes over to the city hall ” “Grimes just dropped in to say good--by and tell me that he was going to settle down to his life work now,” said the managing editor, after he had made good his escape into the little den occupied by the political man.

1 buppube jruu icn umi tauuu^ ' about it?” “Yes,” continued the editor, “he had just reached the ‘go and come as the spirit moves and the mood—* ” The political man fellcback ward in a tragic faint, and exclaimed: “You’re not goin’t’ give me the rest of that, to-day—not without a week’s lay-off and transportation to St. Louis. I know it by heart ” When Grimes wearied of waiting he ' went out, thinking about the sweetness of his bride and the endless joy of his life work. To tell the truth the widow was winsome, and she was in love with Grimes. The world—Grimes’ world—wondered what could. .have been the attraction which drew her to him. His countenance was as handsome and expressive as a well-worn advertising stereo, and his figure had the graceful curve of a roll-top desk. The only remaining grace to be figured upon as a power capable of attracting $500,000 of widowed government bonds was his gifts of conversation. As Grimes had never exercised these in the presence of his colaborers upon any other topic than his “life work” they gave it up. If the widow and Grimes had ever taken? up the analysis of the problem they would also have given it up But the gods knew that it was the consecration of Grimes to his “life work” that had thrown the subtle meshes of Cupid’s net about the widow’s heart. She had always yearned for the companionship of a man with a purpose. Her late lamented husband had a purpose, such as it was, but it failed to satisfy his youthful bride. It consisted of a well-directed effort tp keep his wealth intact with the least possible effort, and sleep away as many hours of daylight as possible in order that he anight be in form to play whist in the evening. But now she was to revel in a husband withfhe burden of a life work ever wrenching at his vitals. And when this life work was sure to win him fame as a great writer—which she thoroughly believed would prove the • case with Grimes—she was ready to plape her entire fortune at his disposal During their wedding journey Grimes lived in heaven, for he poured the uninterrupted flow of his anticipated joys of Sis life work into the sympathetic ears of his bride and sealed it with kisses. How his heart swelled with joy when they returned to the mansion prepared for them and entered, arm in arm, the eozy little library in which .he was to •do his life workl

She sat down in his lap for a few minutes and told him how much she expected of him. She promised not to bother him, then kissed him and ran away. Bnt she came back in just an hoar to peep in and see how his work was getting. on. lie had written a sentence, jotted down a half-dozen catch words and drawn curious scrolls and rectangles about them. Of course, he had to stop long enough to encircle her waist and take another kiss. When she went out, the nebulous idea that he had been grasping after had vanished into space. Grossly palpable chairs, desk, paper and pens were all that remained. He took down a few books in the hope of bringing back the elusive something which was to be the initial of his life work. It didn’t return.

After pacing the room for a timet, he decided that only in the largeness and freedom of out-of-doors could his conception come to him. Deep in the bosom of nature: his thoughts-)would crystallize into the forms of art To the bosom of nature he would repair. He took the electric car to the end of th^ line, then transferred to the horsie car. A few rods beyond was a charm- ’ ing wood, to which he walked. His trousers brushed against a mature burdock While climbing the fence, and he spent the next half hour in picking the cockles from his garments. Then he stretched himself out under a big maple and waited for the heavenly vision to descend. , As it seemed a little shy of approach his thoughts drifted to wondering what sort of a fellow was on his desk now. He pitied the miserable lot of the man who must slave instead of entering upon the glories of a life work. A brace of bloodthirsty flies of a variety unknown in the pewspaper office opened their batteries upon him. He rolled and dodged am' struck. But they held to the siege. Hearing the tinkle of an approaching •horse car, he leaped up and ran to catch it before it should start on its return trip. . H . When down town he felt more at ease again. “If I could just drop into some- quiet place for a minute I believe I could get the clew to the whole thing and then work it out at my d£sk later.’’ He yielded and dropped into the club —in fact, into the same soft, deep chair by the broad and sunny front window in which his predecessor, as the husband of his wife, bad pursued his dreamful life work. The unusual physical exercise of his retreat into the bosom of nature had fatigued him and the warm sunshine made him drowsy. His head diopped baek against the soft leather and be slept “I will make him confess that I have been very good to him in letting him alone all day, and I’ll make him give me the whole evening as a compensa

“I SEE THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN tTF YOUB LIFE WORK.” tion,” thought the happy Mrs. Grimes as she came slowly up the street, thinking of Grimes in the library- in the glory of his life work. The sight of the clubhouse recalled the image of the slothful and purposeless companion of her ante-widowhood. Her cheeks flushed prettily with pride at the thought of her present husband in the throes of realizing a great ambition. 9 She could not forbear glaucing into the window, for a passing glimpse of the vacant chair. There was the and dreamful pulp of Grimes in an attitude so hatefully familiar to her that he might have inherited it from his predecessor, by special intervention of Providence. Did the widow pass by to the other side and hide her grief? Not that she knew of! And not that Grimes knew of! She entered the club and laid her hand upon his shoulder. He started guiltily. Their eyes met. “My dear,” she said, in a tone of voice

that he had not been introduced to, I see that you have taken up your life work! When you are through with it I would like to see you at my house.” Then she vanished. Of course, Grimes explained it in the evening; she cried and forgave, and; they made it all upi But It wsas some time before Grimes again referred to his life work. Neither dia he go to the bosom of nature for inspiration, nor drop into the sunny corner of the club to get the clew to an elusive idea. He simply “sawed wood” at his desk. And when she picked up a magazine and caught sight of his name at the end of a satirical story entitled “His Life Work,” she laughed and wept and kissed him all in one breath.— Chicago 400. 'Bound Too Mach. Pale with suppressed indignation Algernon McStab uncrossed his legs, rose stiffly, and turned up his coat collar, “Glycerine McCurdy,” he howled, “you have seen fit to sneer at me. You have accused me of having a wheel in my head. If I have, false beauty, it is at least a wheel that has run true to you!” “Ah, yes,” replied the young.woman, with a pensive, far-away look in her soulful eyes, “and yet I hardly want you for a hub, you know I”—Chicago Tribune.

GOOD GOVERNMENT. Th« Chief Alim of the Democratic Admitla ration. The brurts of Le Iroquois club met In Chicago on th< evening' of Tuesday, April 2, at a grand banquet in memory of Thomas Jefferson, the father of democrats. Many democrats of national reputation were present and spoke upon the leading political questions of the day. Among them was John E. Bussell, of Massachusetts, who, in response to the toast, “The Administration, Vigorous, Fearless, Democratic,” said: “Mb. President and Gentlemen: yhe federal elections during the last administration show that as soon as the policy of the party in power was developed it lost the confidence of the people and was discredited and repudiated to the end. “The pressing necessity for repeal of all the fiscal legislation of that period of reaction has led to disquiet; which now makes all delibera- . tion seem slow. We must judge the vigor of the administration no by this natural impatience of the people out by comparison with other years. . “It is a year last mouth since our party assumed the responsibility of government under circumstances which could not be more discouraging in time of pe nce. Four yea-s previous Mr. Cleveland had given the chair to bis successor with only on i pressing difficulty—excessive taxation creating a large treasury surplus This condition bad been clearly put before the country in the famous message to the Fiftieth congress, which responded by the passage of the Mills bill, a salutary measure rejected by the republican senate. “Our opponents met the condition in their way and at the end of four years we return to a change of affairs so radical that the recital seems incredible A treasury without a dollar of working balance am loaded with obligations deep bedded in laws: a tariff which has taken the name of its author oeoause it is his invention of a new system u increase burdens while it reduces revenue by turning the stream of taxes from the people’; treasury to the pockets of individuals, corpora.Ions and trusts. “The financial legislation, bearing the name of Mr. Sherman, had worked adversely to the expectation of Us fram ers and bad so Impaired our credit abroad that our stock markets were breaking down with securities sold for foreign account and a financial panic was well under way. These were the conditions Mr. Cleveland and his cabi oet were called to face “Never did the people expect so much; there must be economy to make up four years of waste; confidence, chided by reckless financial measures, was to be w armed to life; trade, fitful and feverish from excessive stimulation, was to be restored to calm health, and, as ours is a government not of men, but of laws, and law is the fruit of wise delay, time was neces

sary. “Through the whole administration of Mr. Harrison there had been a steady decline in the values of agricultural products and fn the rail* way trade of every part of the country. The iron and steel, market, the barometer of public prosperity, had fallen until one-third of the furnaces of the*Oountry were cold. But no fair politician would attribute this solely to law, or lack of it “Unwise and extravagant as the legislation of the Fifty-hrst congress was, prodigal as its appropriations for pensions, bounties, subsidies and public buildings, there were other and deeper causes at work, involving the whole civilized world, so closely are the nations bound together in financial relations that under any laws the currents of our trade would have been disturbed and w e could not avoid our share of the distress wWh has spared no part of the trading world. ', ■ “It is the common cry of partisanship to attribute the troubles of the past year to an election which implied a reduction of the taxes of the people. If this were true, if in the second century of our government a popular election cannot be held and a change made in obedience to the will of a great majority of the electors without ruin to the business of the country, then our institutions t.re a failure. No thoughtful, no patriotic citizen will make such an assertion. “The business of the country is not carried on by political parties it is based upon the resources of the continent, upon the farm, the forest and the mine, and the dally toil of humble men. When the farmer of the south, feeling the airs of the warm gulf, and looking out upon the whitening cotton field, cries in distress, and is answered by the northwestern wheat grower who stands upon his mortgaged farm, a hopeless debtor amid his golden sheaves, there are deep causes of trouble that only the shallow politician or the partisan of the hour would attribute to the changes suggested by an election “The determination of the people expressed in several elections to equalize taxation and curb the power of privilege has not caused the tall in the price of iron or of silver. If the whole fabric of prot ection was swept away in rude disregard ot the two or three per oent of our population who may possibly derive some benefit from it there would be no difference in the value of the crop* of the country. “We are dependent upon the world’s market, and the world in this generation has become a small planet. The submarine cable, the screw, propelling an immense steel ship, and the Suez canal, have brought all lands into a daily market, and the prehistoric races ot the east, whose customs and heredity antedate our origin, jostle us in the world’s markets. The millions who from time immemorial have crouched on the ground floor of a bamboo hut in bmnze nakedness, eating a handful ot rich, have their wheat am cotton handled by railway and steamer, and compete with the products of our soil in the wc .-Id's markets. The result of such competition was shown on the produce exchange of this splendid city, which is the creation of American farming. This condition, whioh has not been prevented by the power of protective tariffs, h i& not come suddenly. It has been the work of years. I speak of it as a part of that serloi s embarrassment, difficulties which no adn inistration since Lincoln first took office has had to meet, and which we are called upon to relieve by economy in expenditure, and by such changes of revenue laws as will fulfill, so far as possible, these democratic maxims—that all the money the people pay in taxes the government should re-’ ceive; that mxes should be so laid as to bear equally upon all parts of the country. “In times of public distress and sharp parti san criticism, it is t ird to comply with the imps tienoe of the peoj e; but I assert that never in our history has an administration moved more rapidly in the correction of legislation. Public confidence iias been restored in onr financial situation; the federal elections law has been fully disci jsed and repealed with the

general approbation oi tne people or every part of the country who feel that the mildness of ' government in the employment of dangerous powers is no reason for their continuance. The intrigue and Jlngofc nPwhioh was the least ex* cusable trait of the Harrison administration and which has impt Ired our Influence, If It has not lost the confidence of the South American republics, has been fitly rebuked in the Hawaiian matter; a revenue measure in accordance with the orders of the people has passed the house and is before the senate months earlier than a tariff bill has ever before been presented to that body; the a ppropriation bills have been well advanced, unwise measures inflating the currency have been prevented and the treasury has been made secure in Its ability to„ redeem the paper of the government The same contingency in Mr. Harrison’s time was met by the Sherman act ohlch shook our credit and intensified the panto of last summer. “Let partisan cr tics look book into the history of our govern nent from the beginning and see if at any time inhere has been a more rapid response to the will of the people, or more fearless and vigorous ction upon the part of an administration. It is a matter of deep regret, I doubt not, to evary man here, that there has been opposition in the senate, which has exposed our party to censure, and which has been resented by the country. The house, coming directly from the people and responsible to them, has acted p -omptly, but the senate has sorely tried the pr.tience of the country. “I am not here »o impeach the loyalty of any democrat to our administration, hut faithful support of party, when charged with the responsibility of g overnment, is true patriotism; It Is loyalty to ot r country. •On this view 1 do not tinders tand the opposition to legMatk) i in the senate, when we ars

under the imperative orders of the people te set In their behalf “Failure to act. or half-hearted action, may be dictated by local Interests or may accomplish Individual revenge, but it will be punished by the voters. “It is the peculiar character of tlie democratic party that it is not sectional—not divided by geographical lines, not dependent for existence upon success, not a-party led by placemen, but a thoroughly national party. It has, had its dark days, its long wanderings In the wilderness, its abasements and trials, but its unquenchable vitally proves it the party of the American people the same here in Illinois that it is in Georgia or Texas or New Jersey or Connecticut, springing from the warm heart of the people and invulnerable to the weapons of political warfare. It took its rise with the birth of American liberty, and it will perish when that liberty Is no more. ‘*Uur administration is thoroughly democratic In the sense that It came into power without sectional appeal: It had the consent of every part of the country. It was a triumph of ' the people over politicians and classes, a protest against privilege. “The Jeffersonian idea is reliance upon the people and confidence in them. “The founders of the republic were uot all in agreement with democratic ideas: many of them, nursed under the cold shadow of aristaeratic forms, distrusted the people: they : looked to Europe for instruction and models, they deferred to wealth, education and wellborn position. It was then that our party rose under the guidance of the brain that produced the charter of American liberty: it came into being to save tbe fruits of the revolution, to curb the tendency to revert to the government of a class, and to raise the poor man to an equality In the state and fit him for the public service. “It taught that government is the creation of the people, an instrument for tnelr use, and that it should be for the equal benefit of .all; it developed the Idea that it is the best government that governs tbe least, that preserves domestic order and is strong for defense, but which does not interfere with tbe pursuits of the people. In such a government the delegated power to tax is limited to the needs of government economically administered. It cannot confeftavors upon individuals or classes nor assist them In their business by legislation, nor can it create systems of agriculture, manufacture or trade “Gentlemen, the administration and the men who stand with it in congress are trying to restore our government to tbe principles from which it has so far drifted. The great body of tbe privileged class and the representatives of I tbe protected interests oppose and denounce it because it is striving to carry out Jeffersonian principles as history states them and as we understand their application to the present time. The concentrated efforts of enormous wealth and organized selfish interests are working 1 against us. “When our opponents refer to the founders of the republic It is only to claim that they approved of the system of Indirect taxation. They never approved of taxes for protection. | Taxation-was for revenue, and all protection | was incidental to it In their time there was no accumulated wealth and tbe only way to raise revenue was upon Imports; it was equal taxation, lecause there was then a nearer equality | of condition than the world had ever before seen and tbe chief pursuits of tbe people were agriculture and commerce. How Jefferson and JAidtson would act now may be-judged from tne maxims of their polioy. They took tbe best methods at the time under the circumstances to serve the people, but class legislation was abhorrent to their democracy, and in that opinion we follow them. They would advocate a system under which wealth Would bear its burden of taxation Our great master, whose birthday we now celebrate, says it all in language no one can Improve: j , " ‘With all these blessings what more Is necessary to make us a happy and prosperous people? Still one thing—a wise and frugal government^ which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them free to regulate their own pursuits of Industry and Improvement, and shall not take from tbe mouth of labor the bread it bas earned. This ip tbe sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the clrole of our felicities ’ ”
