ALLISON IN THE CABINET. If the great and growing west is to have recognition in the cabinet councils of the administration of President-elect Harrison, no man can present a higher claim to such honor than William I?. Allison, of Iowa. Mr. Allison has been in public life as a member of the national legislature, nearly a quarter of a century. During fifteen years of continuous sei vice in the United States senate he has ac fpiired a familiarity with national affairs possessed by few m?n of our time. Xo n;ai in congress, not even excepting John Sherman, who is conceded to be an eminent financier, is as familiar with financial legislation and the problems of our fiscal system. r. Allison's experience as chairman of the appropriation committee of the senate would be invailble to the country if he were placed at the head of the treasury depirtment. His sound, conser vative views would inspire and assure confidence in the management of the national tinancej without arousing the suspicion that the treasury is biiug man aged solely in the interest of Wall street. To the republicans of this section, who complimented- Mr. Allison with an en dorsement for the presidency, his selec tion to the secretaryship of the treasury would not only be extremely gratifying, Lut accepted as ft recognition of the cl iinu of the banner states of th? party.

What Constitutes a Blonde? pew peoplo understand what consti tutes a blonde. Every lady with light hair is not a blonde. The word we get from the French. The adverb blonde,, on the authority of Clark, the eminent philologist, is defined as meaning fair, light or flaxen, referring to any object, whereas Simmonds describes a Llonde as ieln2 'a woman of fair complexion." These definitions are given jn Worcester's tictionary. If you will give the niatter . moment's thought, you wnl recau how nanv ladies have light hair aud dark omplexions. I venture to say that in !1 the cralaxv of beauty at the Veiled ihophcts' ball there were not fifty ladies vho came up to the strict requirements ?f flaxen hair and absolutely lair com lexion.

Finally, when Bob would have left the colonel to his cigar he had turned to 1 fri.-md and actually introduced the trrio Imw to the president of the road.

The night deepened and darkened, tho lights in the little towns, as the -cannon ball" flashed through them, became fewer and fewer, the lanqis in the coaches burned lower, and still the Uain fled on ward through the night. All of a sudden, coming swift and jharp as death, was the shock of a great :rash. tho sound of shivering timbers, the shriek of the engine like a live thing in mortal agony, the hiss of steam, and alove all the confused sound of human voices, cries for help and groans of the unfortunate caught in the wreck. "A special liad run into the 6leepers! It took imlv an instant for the uninjured to gather around that awful mass that a moment before had represented the human embodiment of jwwer, iieann, -nlt)i. hanniness. and that now was only death death in its most horrible form. Bob, white as a ghost, felt his way in the darkness to tho little crowd gathered about the wreck. He thought of noth ing but that the colonel was somewhere in that awful mass. Already they were bringing the dead and tho injured by him, and laying them on the sweet, dew wet grass. He looked eagerly in every face, but torn and disfigured, they were strangers. The colonel must still be im prisoned in the car. Presently a spark, then a ribbon of light and then a sheet of flame burst from the end of the car. "Sly God!" cried a man, '-the wreck's on fire," and there's still another man in there. He must be stunned." Bob clutched the man's arm. -'It's the colonel." ho cried, "I must save him." "You cannot," was tho answer, "it is madness to try." "Break in tho windows." cried an other, "if he's willing to risk it" with a curious elancs-: : Lob's shabby figure.

The smoke and heat were getting stilling. Bb felt bis burden lifted out of bis arniH. and then ho clutched at thu window to save him self. How' close the air was, how dark it was getting, und how far the voices seemed. It was almost as quiet as the ninv woods at home. Afterwards long afterwards they told him that he reeled and would have fallen just as (he side of the car feu m crushing his arm, but Ua.t some one caught and pulled him out. And some one it vas the colonel who never left him during all that cruel time, even when the surgeon cut away the mangled arm some one told him that the tapers were full of his heroism. But Bob only smiled. He knew lie had only pkM back his father s debt to tho colonel. Alter bit he askod, "Does Mamsey know'r" and he Itegered the colonel to go and tell her. It was night in the little cabin in the piny woods. The old woman took down the old Bible and snelled out syllable bv syllable the beautiful story of mo vidov of Nain. "JJe waathe pnly son o bis mother-, and ho was a widow,' i:ic younger woman leaned over and laid her liand abruptly on the reader's wrist. "Da you reckon," she asked, "that boy was iiko Bob? lie was dead and he give him back to her, it says. I I" hei voico trembled. "I love him for that" she paused as the door opened, and the colonel stood before her. Something in Iii3 face told her cf disaster, "Bob!" she cried, springing to her feet. He took trembling hands in his and with the tears streaming down his face told her all. She listened like one dazed. But the older woman came and stood before him, with the open book etill in her hand, "It va3 what you did for his father," she cried, and then, misquoting the Scriptures, perhaps because she read by faith and nut by knowledge, she said half under her breath. "An eye for an eye, a limb for a limb and a life for a life." . When Bob was well enough to leave tho hospital ho refused all offers of as sistance, "I'm much obliged to yen, colonel," he said, when his old friend would have aided him, "but I'm going to make a man of myself in spite of this," touching the empty sleeve. "And I promised mvueli I was going to, fix Mamsey up like a palace car and I'm going to do it." So looking very white and thin, and willi the old uniform looking a little shabbier than ever, he went back to the old life and the old work. Where is he pow? God knows. Who keeps track of the bubbles that rise and break on tho great current of life? Eliza iteth M.
