A correspondent requests that we

uieu have s:.id about newspapers—that

Bryant said: "The press is good or
evil, according to the character of those
who direct it. It is a mill that grinds
all that is put into its hopper. Fill the
hopper with poisoned grain, and It will
grind it to meal, but there is death in
the bread."
James Parton said: "The newspaper
press is the people's university. Half
the readers in Christendom read little
else."
Jefferson said: "The basis of our gov

keep that right, and were it left to me
to decide whether we should have a
government without newspapers or
uewspapers without a government I
should not hesitate a moment to prefer
the latter."

The Stuart King*.
The family name of the Stuarts was
originally, as Mr. Bayley observes,
Fltzalan. The original Walter Fitz
alan. brother of the ancestor of the
dukes of Norfolk, was lord high stew
ard of Scotland, and from this cir
cumstance his branch of the family
appears to have adopted the name of
• ttewart. When the change began Is
not certain, but It was probably not
later than the time of Alexander, tha
great-grandson of Walter Fltzalan, for
both his sons— James, the grandfather
of Robert 11. and all the Scottish Stew
art kings, and John, the ancestor of
Lord Darnley— appear to have borne
the name of Stewart. Notes and

it was the night of the wedding of
Mrs. Baxter's youngest daughter. The
mother had bidden her a fond farewell
und watched her with her lord depart.
When the wedding guests all had gone
save those who were to remain all
night Mrs. Baxter went to her room,
dismissed her maid and gave full sway
to her unwonted hour of solitude. She
had loved her youngest daughter even
more devotedly and fondly than she
had her other two children, but she
was not grieving over her departure
now. Instead she was reveling in the
first taste of freedom she had known
In years, for her children—the prac
tical Walter, the domineering Julia and
the spoiled Dolly—had each and all In
turn and en concerto ruled each move
ment, great or small, of her life.
When live j ears ago her husband
had been the hero of a little adventure
that bad shocked a shocking world and
her fond, foolish heart would have for
given him as he desired. Walter had
taken the affair into his hands, ably
j seconded by his sister Julia, and before
1 the prostrated, bewildered wife had
I fully grasped the situation she had
' found herself divorced. David Baxter,
contrite and conciliatory, had be«n
! most generous In settlements and had
then completely effaced himself from
I the lives of all he held dear and had
taken up his abode In a distant city.
I Doliy had been too young to know
much about the affair, and to her
; mother's timid proposal that the fa
i ther should l»e asked to give the hand
of his youngest and his favorite child t
In marriage she had lent a willing ear, !
but Walter and Julia had emphatically
1 vetoed such an outrageous act.

TOWARD HER.
business Journey and Julia had taken
the same train to her home and chil
dren. Her mother was under orders to
follow iu a few days, when the big
house should be closed for the summer.
Julia had arranged for some cousins to
remain also until her departure.
"I feel," thought Mrs. Baxter, with a
nervous little giggle, "as 1 used to
when I was a little girl and my moth
er went avVUy and left me alone In the
house. It seems as if I ought to play
with the clock or do something forbid
den."
Suddenly she arose and went to her
writing desk. Opening a secret draw
er, she drew forth two photographs-
David Baxter, boyish and debonair,
aged twenty-one, and David Baxter,
shrewd and Jovial at the threshold of
middle age, as when she had last seen
him. There was also a slip of paper
bearing his present address, for Mrs.
Baxter had surreptitiously mailed him
newspapers with marked articles from
time to time, though she had never
dareil to write or hope to hear from
him.
A tender look caine into her eyes,
and she swiftly reviewed her past. "It
was my fault."' she thought. "I neg
lected him for the children and their
- friend* Their wishes came first."
t She carefully restored the pictures
again and renewed her reverie,
i "We were perfectly happy that first;
year only—before David got so very
rich, and we lived in that dear little
cottage on the forty acres, I wish—l
will!"
A sudden hold resolution came to her,
md fearful lest her weak nature
should make her change her mind she
dashed off Iwo letters, one of which
' was to the people who lived In their
' old home, which she had never sold.
' but had allowed some needy friends to
occupy rent free.
Her dreams that night were happy
pictures of woods, meadows and coun
try lanes. In the morning she looked
[ almost girlish At the breakfast table
she made a welcome proposal to her
cousins. \\!:'' were left In charge of
her She inked them if they would
not like to --' in the house for awhile
and entertain their friends as they will

friends in the country.
"I am so tired out," she explained.
'I need th«- iest and quiet, and there Is
' no need of the children knowing any
* thing about it I'll send my letters
back here to l>e remailed to them."
"I he cousins, who had ever disapprov
ed of the Julia and Walter espionage
over their mother, heartily concurred
iu the little conspiracy, The following
day brought a response to her letter j
to the farm. They would be only too !
happy to receive her, not as a summer j
boarder, but as a guest. The next j
train bore her to her old home, where
i she planned to sta.\ a few weeks and
' lire again the olden days In her mem
' ury and associations.

' vid had named it Here time seemed
' to have .s |ood still. The vine covered
1 porch, the flower beds, the old apple
orchard ami the little rustic seat In the j
arbor were the same. She went over j
the whole place. Every spot was re |
plete with beautiful memories. The j
next morning she arose with a little j
tremor of excitement running through
her veins.

light, delicate gown she was donning
Her hair still waved softly back from
her brow with an occasional escaping
ring, as it had in her youth. Her
thoughts and hopes had brought a deli
cate pink flush to her cheeks.
After breakfast she went through
the meadows and down the lane to a
piece of cool, dark woods that skirted
the river. Her heart beat almost pain
fully she came nearer to her desti
nation.
"I am <1 foolish old woman," she told
herself. "t >f course no one will be
there!"
botue oiiu was there, however. A
tall, familiar form came quickly to
ward her.
"Oh, David!" she cried, with a llttfs
gasp. "I was afraid you wouldn't
come."
"You knew I would," he asserted.
"But wait."
He put his arms about her and half
led her through the woods. Not a
word was spoken. She guessed what
was In his mind and smiled happily
when he led her to a certain tree apart
from the others.
"There," he said. "Now I feel thirty
years younger, and. Helen, you look
not a year older than you did when we
were here last."
"Oh. David! When 1 was left alone
there In that big house the longing
came to see you once more, but I
didn't dare hope you would come."
"I have been waiting for the letter
you wrote for five long years!"
"Have you, David? I didn't want a
divorce—lt was Julia and Walter"—
"Yes, I know. It was always Julia
and Walter, but their day Is over."
"I thought we'd have a little visit
here In our old home for Just this once,
and no one need know."
"Helen." be said gravely, "you can't

came. I have the license, and we will

A Sanaon Pawned the tintllotlne.
The Sansons have a place in French
history, not only because they contin
ued so long to hold their odious office,
but because two of their number, a
father and sou, held office during the
evil days of the reign of terror, when
they were kept so busily eugaged with
their guillotine. The last of the San
sou dynasty was dismissed from his
post iu the reign of Louis Philippe, in
1847, under remarkable circumstances.
Although he had inherited a comforta
ble fortune from his father, the exe
cutioner of the revolution, he got into
pecuniary difficulties and was guilty of
pawning his guillotine, surely the most
lugubrious pledge ever taken by mor
tal pawnbroker. An order cane from
the procurator general for the execu
tion of a criminal, and the necessary
apparatus was not forthcoming. The
prison authorities had perforce to get
It out of pawn, and the execution took
place. But the last of the Sansons was

The Shamrock.
In Ireland only one shamrock 1$
known. It is an indigenous species of
clover which trails along the ground
among the grass In meadows. The tre
fold leaves are not more than one
fourth the size of the smallest trover
usually seen In America and are pure
green In color, without any of the
brown shading of white ami pink clo
vers The creeping stem is hard and
fibrous and difficult to dislodge from
the earth. On St. Patrick's day the
true shamrock has to be searched out
among the grass, for, though compara
tively plentiful at that season, it
grows close to the ground. Later It
bears a tiny "white crown" blossom.

For a Ynunn Man With Money,
If I were a young man with a certain
amount of capital and desirous to In
crease It at the expense of fools, I
should become a dealer In pictures and
In works of art. The prices paid at
auctions for such articles by a few
dealers bidding against each other are
abused, although a vast number of
very wealthy .fools who purchase them
from dealers are ready to pay stili
higher The mere fact that some
article has been sold In an auction
room at a high price attracts thei.>,
and they buy It from the dealer at a
' higher one In order to lie able to point
to it in their houses and to tell their
friends how much it cost them. The
dealer consequently makes much
money by acting as a middleman.
| Whether there i> any arrangement to
run tip the price among dealers I do i
I not know, but I have always won

j whether the original owner always
