John Calhoun becomes secretary of state In Tyler's cabinet with the fixed de­ termination to acquire both Texas and Oregon. Nicholas Trlst, his secretary, is sent with a message to the Baroness von Ritz, spy and reputed mistress of the British minister, Pakenham. Trlst en­ counters the baroness and assists her in escaping- from pursuers. She agrees to see Calhoun, and as a pledge that she will tell him what he wants to know re­ garding the intentions of England toward Mexico, she gives Trlst a slipper, the mate of which has been lost. Trlst is or­ dered to Montreal on state business, and arranges to be married to Elizabeth Churchill before departing. The baroness says she will try to prevent the marriage. A drunken congressman, who Is assisting Trlst In his wedding arrangements, blun­ deringly sends the baroness" slipper to Slizabet.h instead of the owner, and the marriage la declared oft. Nicholas finds the baroness in Montreal, she h&ving suc­ ceeded, where he failed, in discovering England's Intentions regarding Oregon. 6he tells him the slipper he nad, con­ tained a note from the Texas attach® to Pakenham, saying that If the United States did not annex Texas within 30 days she would lose both Texas and Oregon. Calhoun orders Trlst to head a party bound for Oregon. Calhoun excites the jealousy of Senora Yturrio, and thereby secures the signature of the Texas at­ tache to a treaty of annexation. Nicholas arrives In Oregon. Later the baroness ar­ rives on a British warship. She tells Nicholas that a note she placed In her slipper caused the breaking off of his marriage, and that she intends to return to Washington to repair the wrong. Nicholas follows her. He learns on the way that Polk has been elected and Texas annexed, and that there is to be wnr with Mexico. The bircr.cs; tolls Trlst that In return for a compromise of the Oregon boundary on the forty-ninth degree, she has sold herself to Pakenham. fihe tells him the story of her life. Trist breaks Pakenham's key to the baroness' apartments. Pakenham calls for his price, and the baroness refuses to pay. He Insults her. She compels him to apologize, holds him up in his true light, and he declares that she Is purs as a Illy. The treaty Is signed by Paken­ ham. The baroness gives the treaty to Calhoun and tells him she got it for Nicholas. Calhoun invites the baroness to a diplomatic ball at the White House. Nicholas and Elizabeth are married. Nicholas Is chosen a commissioner to ne­ gotiate peace with Mexico. Owing to en­ mity on the part of Polk his actions are repudiated and he la dismissed from the service. The senate, however, ratifies the treaty. Epilogue--Continued. With the cessions from Mexico came the great domain of California. Now, look how strangely history sometimes works out Itself. Had there been any suspicion of the discovery of gold in California, neither Mexico nor our re­ public ever would have owned it! England surely would hare taken it. The very year that my treaty eventu­ ally was ratified was that in which gold was discovered In California! But it was too late then for England to interfere; too late then, also, for Mexico to claim it We got untold millions of treasure there. Most of those millions went .to the northern «tates, Into manufactures, Into com­ merce. The north owned that gold; and it was that gold which gave the them bravely, grandly, and consistent­ ly. Where his convictions wepe en­ listed, he had no reservations, and he used every means, every available weapon, as I have shown. But he was never self-seeking, never cheap, never insincere. A detester of all machine politicians, he was a statesman worthy to be called the William Pitt of the United States. The consistency of his career was a marvelous thing, be­ cause, though he changed in his be­ liefs, he was first to recognise the changing conditions of our country. He failed, and he Is execrated. He won, and he is forgot. My chief, Mr. Calhoun, did not die until some 3ix years after Tliat first evening when Dr. Ward and I had our talk with him. He was said to* have died of a disease of the lungs, yet hero again history is curiously mis­ taken.. Mr. Calhoun slept himself away. I sometimes think with a shud­ der that perhaps this was the revenge which Nemesis took of him for his mistakes. His last days were dream­ like in their passing. His last speech in the senate was read by one of his friends, as Dr. Ward had advised him. Some said afterwards that his Illness was that accursed "sleeping sickness" imported from Africa with these same slaves. It were a strange thing had John Calhoun Indeed died of his er­ ror! At least he slept away. It was through John Calhoun, a grave and somber figure of our his­ tory, that we got the vast land of Texas. It was through him also--and not through Clay nor Jackson, nor any of the northern statesmen, who never could see a future for the west--that we got all of our vast northwest realm. Within a few days after the Palo Alto ball, a memorandum of agreement was signed between Min­ ister Pakenham and Mr. Buchanan, our secretary of state. This was done at the instance and by the aid of John Calhoun. It was he--he and Helena von Ritx--who brQught about that treaty which, on June 15, of the same year, was signed, and gladly signett, by the minister from Great Britain. The latter had been fully enough im­ pressed (such was the story) by the reports of the columns of our west­ bound farmers, with rifles leaning at their wagon seats and plows lashed to the tail-gates. Calhoun himself never ceased to regret that we could not delay a year or two years longer. In this he was thwarted by the impetu­ ous war with the republic on the south, although, had that never been fought, we had lost California--lost also the south, and lost the Union! Under one form nr other.. •ono naiae 8IR QENILLE CAVE-BROWN-CAVE JOINS THE SALVATION ARMY. HIS SALARY IS $3.50 A WEEK The Trail of Democracy, of America, of the World. north the power to crush that upris­ ing which was bora of the Mexican war--that same uprising by which England, too late, would gladly have seen this union disrupted, so that she might have yet another chance at these lands she now had lost for ever. Fate seemed still to be with us, aft­ er all, as I have so often had occasion to believe may be a possible thing. That war of conquest which Mr. Cal­ houn opposed, that same war which grew out of the slavery tenets of his -otherwise splendid public ' life--found its own correction in the civil war. It was the gold of California which put down slavery. Thenceforth slavery has existed legally only north of the Mason and Dixon line! We have our problems yet. Perhaps some other war may come to settle them. Fortunate for us If there could be another California, another Texas, another Oregon, to help us pay for them! 1, who was intimately connected with many of these less known mat­ ters, claim for my master a reputation wholly different from that given to him in any garbled "history" of his life. I lay claim in his name for fore­ sight beyond that of any man of his time. He made mistakes, but he made of government or another, the flag of democracy eventually must float over all this continent. Not a part, but all of this country must be ours, must be the people's. It may cost more blood and treasure now. Some time we shall see the wisdom of John Calhoun; but some time, too, I think, we shall see come true that prophecy of a strange and brilliant mentality, which in Cal­ houn's presence and in mine, said that all of these northern lands and all Mexico as well must one day be ours--which is to say, the people's-- for the sake of human opportunity, of human hope and happiness. Our bat­ tles are but partly fought But at least they are not, then, lost. For myself, the close of the Mexi­ can war found me somewhat worn by travel and illy equipped in financial matters. I had been discredited, 1 say, by my own government My pay was withheld. Elisabeth, by that time my wife, was a girl reared in all the luxury that our country then could of­ fer. Shall I say whether or not I prized her more when gladly she gave up all this and joined me for one more long and final journey out acrosB that great trail which I had seen--the trail of democracy, of America, of the world? At last we reached Oregon. It holds the grave of one of ours; It is the home of others. We were happy; we asked favor of no man; fear of no one did we feel. Elizabeth has in her time slept on a bed of husks. She has cooked at a sooty fireplace of her own; and at her cabin door I myself have been the guard. We made our way by ourselves and for ourselves, as did those who conquered America for our flag. "The citizen standing in the doorway of his home shall save the Republic." So wrote a later pen. !t was not until "long after the dis­ covery of gold in California had set us all to thinking that I was reminded of the strange story of the eld Ger­ man, Von Rlttenhofen, of finding some pieces of gold while on one of his huuts for butterflies. I followed out hla vague directldbs as best I might We found gold enough to make us rich without our land. That claim is staked legally. Half of It awaits an owner who perhaps will never come. There are those who will accept al­ ways the solemn asseverations of pol­ iticians, who by word of mouth or pen assert that this or that party made our country, wrote Its history. Such as they might smile if told that not even men, much less politicians, have written all our story as a nation; yet any who smile at woman's influence in American history do so in ignorance of the truth. Mr. Webster and Lord Ashburton have credit for determine lng our boundary on the northeast-- England called it Ashburton's capitu­ lation to the Yankee. Did you never hear the other gossip? England laid all that to Ashburton's American wife! Look at that poor, hot-tempered devil,, Yrujo, minister from Spain with us, who 6aw his king's holdings on this continent juggled from hand to hand between us all. His wife was daugh­ ter of Gov. McKean of Pennsylvania yonder. If she had no influence with her husband, so much the worse for her. In Important times a generation ago M. Genet, of France, as all know, was the husband of the daughter of Gov. Clinton of New York. Did that hurt our chances with France? My Lord Oswald of Great Britain, who ne­ gotiated our treaty of peace in 1782-- was not his worldly fortune made by virtue of his American wife? All of us should remember that Marbois, Napoleon's minister, who signed the great treaty for him with us, married his wife while he was a mere charge here in Washington; and she, too, was an American. Erskine, of England, when times were strained in 1808, and later--and our friend for the most part--was he not also husband of an American? It was as John Calhoun Bald--our history, like that of England and France, like that of Rome and Troy, was made in large part by women. Of that strange woman, Helena, Bar­ oness von Ritz, I h%ve never definitely heard since then. But all of us have heard of that great uplift of central Europe, that ferment of revolution, most noticeable in Germany, in 1848. Out of that revolutionary spirit there came to us thousands and thousands of our best population, the sturdiest and the most liberty-loving citizens thle country ever had. They gave us scores of generals in our late war, and gave us at least one cabinet officer. But whence came that spirit of revolu­ tion in Europe? Why does it live, grow, increase, even eo-'? Why does it sound now, close to the oldest thrones? Where originated that germ of liberty which did its work so well? I am at least one who believes that I could guess something of its source. The revolution in Hungary failed for the time. Kossuth came to see us with pleas that we might aid Hun­ gary. But republics forget We gave no aid to Hungary. I was far away and did not meet Kossuth. I should have been glad to question him. I did not forget Helena von Ritz, nor doubt that she worked out in full that strange destiny for which, indeed, she was born and prepared, to which she devoted herself, made clean by sacri­ fice. She was not one to leave her work undone. She, I know, passed on her torch of principle. Elizabeth and I speak often of Helena von Ritz. I remember her still--brilliant, beautiful, fascinating, compelling, pathetic, tragic. If It was asked of her, I know that she still paid It gladly--all that sacrifice through which alone there can be worked out the progress of humanity, under that idea which blindly we at­ tempted to express in our Declara­ tion; that idea which at times we may forget, but which eventually must tri­ umph for the good of all the world. She helped us make our map. Shall not that for which she stood help us hold it? At least let me say, I have thought tWs little story might be set down; and, though some to-day may smile at flags and principles, I should like, if I may be allowed, to close with the words of yet another man of those earlier times: "The old flag of the Union was my protector In infancy and the pride and glory of my riper years; and, by the grace of God, under Its shadow I shall die!" N. T. THE END. Takes Position as Janitor, and Tarn- bourlns Qirl Apparently Has Ac­ complished What His Father Tried In Vafn for Years to Do. Thwarting the Devil At the banquet of Pittsburg lodge. No. 11, B. P. O. E., recently. R. W. Irwin, past exalted ruler of Washing­ ton (Pa.) lodge, told a story in Illus­ tration of the necessity for charity (meaning brotherly love), among even acme ministers of the gospel. He said that two pastors of rival denomina­ tions were discussing the merits of their different methods of preaching. Brother A always wrote his sefmons and read them from his manuscript Brother B boasted that he always preached extemporaneously. Each in­ sisted that his method was the better. Finally Brother, B said: "Don't you know that when you write your ser­ mons the devil looks over your shoul­ der, reads what you write and then goes among the congregation and puts thoughts in their minds that counter­ act your doctrines? When you read the sermon the devil already has an­ swers framed In the minds of your hearers. The consequence is the seed falls on stony ground. Now, when I get up In the pulpit to speak not even the devil himself knows what I am going to say."--Pittsburg Chronicle- Telegraph. The Art of Sleeping. Slumber commences at the extremi­ ties, beginning with the feet and legs. That Is why it is always necessary to keep the feet warm.--Family Doctor. Brooklyn, N.

This time he is found in the ranks of the Salvation army, working as janitor in one of its local institutions at a salary of $3.50 a week. Out of this princely income he is endeavoring to save J10C, the fee required for matriculat­ ing into the officers' Achool in the Salvation army. His romantic nature was won by the lure of the deep blue eyes of a pretty Salvation lassie who sang sweetly as she toyd with a tambou­ rine. He was drinking in a New York saloon when the sound o' the Salva­ tion corps approaching aroused his curiosity and he wandered to the curb to bear them. When the procession moved he dropped into line. Now he is an ardent and zealous worker in the cause. tfla career has been an eventful one. When a mere boy his father sent him to sea to cure his wlldness. On his return he enlisted in a High­ land regiment and was transferred to a cavalry regiment, just leaving for the war in Egypt He fought under Lord Wolseley In the battle of Tel-el-Kebir and later went to Afghanistan, where he was captured by the Hill tribes, but es­ caped. He quarreled with his father on acriving in England and came to America with a small allowance. He later went to Burmah with an expedi r fiATTLES WITH SNAKE ALL NIGHT IN A WELL LITTLE BOY FALLS INTO ABAff DONED HOLE AND ENCOUN­ TERS RATTLER. Galveston. Texas.--Paul Graham, the 7-year-old son of Drlscoll Graham, a well-to-do farmer In Matagorda coun­ ty. was rescued from an abandoned well twenty-five feet deep, after an all-night battle with a four-foot rattle­ snake which the child killed. The boy was bitten twice, but will recover, al­ though suffering greatly from the ahock of the terrible experience. This 33* d -"V. • f * . Boy's Battle with a Rattler. little fellow had started to visit rela­ tives on an adjoining farm at night and fell into the well, where he re­ mained all night. The big snake evi­ dently did not molest the child for Rnm(> time, for the boy said he was down in the hole several hours be­ fore be felt the snake coiling about his leg. The child freed himBelf and climbed up several feet on the jagged rocks of the well, where he held him­ self until exhausted, when he fell back to the bottom of the well, striking his head and losing consciousness. About daylight the snake came out of its hiding place^and, coiling, prepared to attack the- boy, when the latter grabbed it by the neck and held it against the side of the well. As the tatter would coil its body about the tion^w the little fellow would struggle ce» uncoil the reptile, realizing that the jKisake would win the battle if it got Its body circling his. Finally the boy pulled a stone from its place and with this struck the snake on the head and stunned it. Encouraged, he delivered other blows and succeeded in killing the rattler. His screams attracted the attention of a searching party, and be was taken from the well with ropes. It was while pulling the stone from the side of the well with one hand that the snake bit him. Sir Genille Cave-Brown-Cave. tlon sent out by a museum to kill big game. He then went to South Africa to participate In the Boer war. He lived in Hongkong and Yokohama and returning to the United States went to Kansas City, where he worked as a member of the "whit- wings" In cleaning the streets.

WITH AN AX HE FIGHTS PHONE" Man Chops Down Poles Because He Did Not Want "Woman on Wire." South Norwalk, Conn.--Because he did not want "a woman on his tele­ phone wire." Louis, Warncke, a prom lnent resident of Wilton, tackled the telephone company's poles with an ax as fast as they were erected, hacking down six of them, for which he will probably answer In the courts. Mrs. Susie Cole Is his neighbor, and it is known that their relations are any­ thing but neighborly. When Mrs. Cole wanted a telephone connection, Mr. Warncke protested to the telephone company against plac ing her on his party line. Finding his protests unavailing, as soon as the first pole was set he tackled it with an ax and brought it and the wires down. Five more poles in succession came down, and now the telephone company has an armed guard around the poles. Warncke has a shotgun and announces that as soon as any wires are strung he will stand on his own ground and shoot them down.

Los Angeles, Cal.--While traveling to this city, Mrs. Frances Held ot Danbury, Conn., inadvertently threw a pair of stockings out of the window of a fast Santa Fe train a few miles west of Albuquerque. Soon afterward she discovered that 'le had left a roll of $1,500 In bills In the toe of one of the stockings, and she appealed to Con­ ductor Milo Thompson for help to r» cover it. At the next station Thomp­ son wired back to the agent at Albu­ querque to make a search, which was done, and the stockings and money were found. This Information was wired to Winslow, Ariz., and when Mrs. Held's train arrived there the company's representative handed her the cash.

The other, however, eitting in the next to the front pew, was not awakened by such a soft re­ buke. The Kentucky parson could stand it no longer. Keeping right on with the sermon, he Bhied a song book at the sleeper. One book followed another until the audience was in a titter, but the tired man simply opened his eyes for a moment and shifted his position from full face to profile, slept right on until the benediction without appar­ ent interruption. Bee Hive as Incubator. Cotter, Ark.--Canaan may have flowed with milk and honey, but this town has a still better combination-- spring chickens and honey. L Lough- ridge of Cotter has discovered that a bee hive makes the best kind of an in­ cubator. He places eggs inside the hive and 21 days later takes out the chickens. The correct temperature for an incubator is 103 degrees. Inside a bee hive there is a steady tempera­ ture of 107. Persons who have agi­ tated a hive of peevish bees recall the temperature just outside the hive at being 207, but 107 is said to be normal when they are in the hive. To keep the bees from beating him to the broilers the eggs are Inclosed in a wire screen covered box by Loughrldge. The chickens and honey are usually ready at the same time.
