The Atlanta Constitution says
"After sixty years of restricted suT
frage, Belgium, under her new const
tution, is ubout to try a startling ex
periment. The new Jaw gives a vote
to every male citizen who has reached
the age of twenty-live. A married man
who pays taxes, or a. tux-paying bach
elor of thirty-five, is entitled to an ex
tra vote. A third vote is given to a
citizen of independent means, possess
ing a certificate of high education, or
who holds or has held a public office of
a certain rank. It is believed that
every husband will pine, his extra vote
at the disposal of his wife, thus indi
rectly "giving her the elective franchise.
Under the new constitution the num
ber of votes in Belgium will leap from
150,000 to 1,200,000. A well-equipped
Belgian will now be able to cast a vote
on election day just r.fter breakfast,
and if he feels greatly interested in the
campaign he can stick in another vote
- at dinner time, and still another on hi

Old Peggy, from her position iu

sharply up.
"Well," said sho, briskly setting
aside the pan of baked apples that she
had taken from tho oven for tea, "I

was because you hadn't money enongh
to keep on living in the city Bince the

Tho suddeu flush rose angrily to
Christine's satin-soft cheek.
"We arc not beggars yet," said she.
"And as for Rosamond, she never had
a soul above a scullery maid."
"What's that you're saying about
Rosamond?" cried a gay young voice,
as u tall, brown-haired girl came in,
with sparkling hazel eyes, cheeks
reddened with exercise, and an apron
ful of nuts, "dee what I picked up

Rosamond glanced toward the cellar

ing her voice, "that Teggy is getting

"I prefer some other way of occupy

ciliously. "Yes, but what?"
llosamond had reached down the
hammer, and was now balancing tho
broad end of a smoothing-iron in her
lap, preparatory to the operation of

"We have been educated for Indies,"
Baid Christine, "and not cooks!"

pointing with slim, taper fingers to
ward the burning glow in tho west.
"Yes, but in tho meantime?" dryly
observed Rosamond. "We must live,
and wo must eat. And really I've
made rather a good thing of those
Brahma chickens, at thirty-five cents

Mill in a Thunderstorm' still hangs in
the booksellers window, and not a

Christine colored again.
"J prefer to retain my position in

emphasis.
"But we have no society."
"We are asked to tho Thanksgiving

retorted Christine.
"We can't go!" averred Rosamond.
"Why can't we go?"
"Nothing to wear." Rosamond suc
cinctly answered, giving a sharp, sud

on the edge of the nntiron.
"How do you know that?"
Rosamond lifted her eyes in sur

on:

on a gold-headed cane, like the fairy

"Yea'm nutoookien," complacently
affirmed Peggy, moving forward the
pan with modviit prido, "Hy one,
Mrs. Edgcloy, won t you? It Bin t

"Never tasted anything so delicious
n my life," said Mrs. Edgeley, nib
bling away at tho cako with teeth that
were still as white and perfect as when
sho was sixteen. "You don't mean to
say, Peggy, that yon made them?"
"I, mam? Not 1! protested
Fcggy. "Not but what I call myself

light touch and tho easy knack to stir

Rosamond that made 'cm, Mrs. Edge
ley, and I'm proud to say it, that I
am !"
Mrs. Edgeley's spectacled eyes grew
big and round. Sho camo a step or
two nearer.
"Peggy," said she, in a mysterious
whisper, "these are just what wo want
for our Thanksgiving party. Aurilla
isn't much of a calculator, and I'm
afraid we're going to run short on
cake. Would you sell me this batch?
And would the young lady bake mo
another as a very special favor?" she
added, insinuatingly.
Peggy tossed her hend.
"W'-' lou't buy nor seU our cake,"
SBid she. But you're welcome to it,
Mrs. Edgeley, and I'm sure my young
lady will be very pleased to accommo

"Humph 1 humph!" commented
Mrs. Edgeley. "Much obliged, I'm
sure I I called in about that setting
of Muscovy duck eggs, but I'll just
take this baking of nut cakes instead.
It's just exactly tho sort of thing one
wants for a Thanksgiving party.
There's something homolike and home
made about it. And I can havo the
rest day after to-morrow?"
After Mrs. Edgeley had hobbled
away on her gold-headed cane, Peggy
found a crisii, cleau five-dollar bill
lying on the table.
She eyed it shrewdly.
"It's no more than they're worth,"
said she.
And she pocketed the bill.
"Yes, MiBs Rosy, I gin 'em every

"Have you come to help us arrange

You never mean that you made eni,

Rosamond colored a hot scarlet. All
of a sudden the mystery cleared itself.
Sho know now where the forget-me-not
dress oime from. She put down the
, box, with a murmured word or two,
and flew iwiftly home,
'I never can go to that party now I"
she sobbed to herself. "Oh, how could
Peggy do such a thing? Of all things
to sell my cako to tho Bramblethorp

"Oh, come now 1 said JacK iram

Jack, with delightful frankness.
"Thanksgiving lsu t Thanksgiving if

went.
One solitary light shone in the wiu
dows of the old stone house tho win
dows of Rosamond's room, where the
poor little girl was crying her hesit
out.
All of a sudden a fearful fuco glared
in a jack-o'lantern pumpkin, with
eyes of fire, elevated on tho extreme
end of a bean-pole.
"Goodness me!" fluttered Rosa
mond. "What's til t?,'
And sho flung the sash open.
"It's me, Rosy!" bawled Juck.
"Comedown here; I want you?"
"What for?"
"To como to tho Bramblethorpe

"I can't go!" murmured Rosa
mond. '.Then I can't !" said Jack. "I shall
stay and spend the evening with you !"
"Do take thut horrible jack-o'-lantern
away," pleaded Rosamond for
all this time the pumpkin features and
tho flaming eyes were flattened against
er window-blind.
"Not until I get on answer," said
Jack, the indomitable.
"Go away 1" said Rosamond.
"I won't!" slid Jack.
Suddenly the jack-o'-lantern coun
tenance disappeared ; there waa n
crash.
"Oh, Jack, you havo fallen oil the
piazznroof! Oh," cried Rosamond,
wringing her hands, "what shall I
do?"
"No.it wasn't me," said Jack: "it
was only the pumpkin. It wasn't bal

"Never what?"
Rosamond looked puzzled.
"Why, never to go nway from

"Jack!"
"Darling, don't you understand?"
said Jack, slipping his arm around her
waist (there were only tho peaceful
stars to see them, and the red, blink

ering away in the box borders). "I
can't bo happy except where you are.

"Oh, Jack,"shj faltered, "I never

Aunt Edgeley, in ruby velvet nnl
barbaric pearls, was "matrouiziug"

Miss Melliter, of Melliter Park, kept
a sharp lookout from a pair of diamond

APACHES IN THE ARMY.
THE NEW SYSTEM TRIED IN ARI
ZONA TERRITORY.
The Indian tins Not Proved a Very
Good Holdler I.ured Into Service
by the barm ef llrass Buttons.
(7'
OMPANY, attention!"
The long line of copper-
VV colored soldiers presents a
unique and picturesque ap
pearance. Tho straight-cnt regular
army jacket, trousers that are a com
promise between tho native garment
and the "garments of the line," met at
the knee by buckskin leggings ; on tho
head a cloth of red muslin or calico in
a band and tied tightly behind, loav
ing the crown of raven hair completely
exposed. This is tho Apache soldier
of the United States regular army on
duty, says an Arizona correspondent
of tho San Francisco Chronicle.
The Indian troops of tho Depart
ment of Arizona are recruited solely
from the various tribes of tho Apnche
Nation, and aro in nowise similar to
the Indian police force of tho Sioux or
other Indian tribes. They are regu
larly enlisted for tho full period of
service, receive full pay, and arc held
strictly amenable to military disci
pline. Their uniforms vary slightly
from those ot tho other troops, re
sembling a sort of Zouave eqnipment,
a concession which the departmont
found it necessary to make in order to
satisfy some whims of tho aboriginal
mind. The Indian is essentially nar
row-minded and superstitions. Matters
of dress which may be exceedingly triv
ial in importance havo to him some
times an immeuso significance.
Tho Apache problem has been a
thorn in the sido to the commanders
of the Department of Arizona. There
are ton large tribes iu the Territory,
making an aggregate of eonio 40,000
persons. Of all these, tho Apaches
alone have given the Government any
trouble within tho past quarter of a
century. They occupy a reservation
iu tho heart of the Territory larger
than tho combined States of Massachu
setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut nnd
Delaware; and their whole tribal pop
ulation numbers less than 5000. There
has not been a year since the white oc
cupation that some Apache renegade
was not off tho reservation, making
life interesting for some one, and a
very few years have passed iu which
tho Government has not been called
upon to quell a general ontbreak.
With tho end of the Gerouimo cam
paign the authorities adopted a now
policy toward these implacables and
the formation of tho Indian auxilnries
is a part of tho new programme.
Gradually the more lawless chiefs have
been vanquished until now there is
hardly a corporal's guard of the old
warriors to be found in all tho tribes
which comprise the Apache Nation.
Then supplementary proceedings were
began by enlisting all the able-bodied
young bucks between the ages of six
teen and thirty into regular companies.
Under these conditions with all the
old men deported and all the young
sters under the eyes of the regular
soldiers it is hoped that the solution
of the Apacho trouble is not far dis
tant. While tho question seems in a fair
way to be settled with regard to tho
Indian, tho new deal does not give
universal satisfaction in army circles.
The soldiers do not take kindly to the
change At Fort Huachuea an in
cipient mutiny was raised on the
arrival of the red-skinned troopers.
Regulars who have been for years light
ing tho wily Apache from behind
rocks cannot readily accustom them
kidves to tho idea of messing and
Bharing quarters with their hereditary
foe. The officers, as a rule, ure not
very enthusiastic over the innovation
either. Their gcuerul opinion is that
tho novelty will soon wear off with the
recruits, aud that eventually they will
either desert, singly or ell masse, or
else at best, wheu their term of ser
vice expires they will refuse re-enlistment
aud return home with their
newly acquired knowledge and dis
cipline to become more troublesome
than ever.
As to the merits of tho Apacho as a
soldier ho doesn't seem to have many.
He can withstand an incredible amount
of fatigue. A body of Apache infantry
will make a forced march iu better
time aud can arrivo in better lighting
trim than tho average regular cavalry.
Wheu the lino of battle is drawn up
Mr. Apache is not there. From time
immemorial tho Apacho warrior has

The one thing which lures the In
dian from the reservation into the
army is his lovo of the uuiform. He
cares more for bright colors snd gilt
trappings than for his wife even more
than he does for eating. The glitter

resistibly charm the tnvgu eye. An
Apacho sergeant iu full regimental uni
form is an object of the profoundest

As In the long ago
I wander o'sr the dear old place,
Each object there rnealls thy face,
Eaeh fragrant wphyr breathe, a sigh.
For tender joys in (lays gone by :
Now falls again the evening glow.
And calls the thrnsh so soft and low,
As In the long ago, my love,
As In tho long sgo
As in the long ago, my love,
As In the long ago -We
wander slowly, hand in hanft.
In young love's dreary wonderland,
Again the light of evening sklos
Shines in mine own from thy dear eyes , '
Agniu the distant chimes so low.
Peal forth the hour In measures slow,
As In the long ago, my love,
As In the long ng.
As in the long ago, my love,
As Iu the long ago
The vespers' dying e'hoes pn1
Among the hill. Again I kneel
And moan and wep bi."ldo thy gravp.
Where grass plumes In the wild winds wav.
And sway In mute grief to and fro.
While calls the thrush so sad and low.
As in the long ago, my love,
As in the long ago.
