BT AMICKJfi MAN.
The wife of the Boss of the Establish
ment was nursing a melancholy mood, also
a cold In the head. It is needles to say
that one waa the result of the other
All day ahe had lounged in a reclining
chair nursing her nose and wishing she
bad never had one. Reading did not seem
to take her mind off her physic! misery,
so she had begun to figure accounts.
. Never an exhilarating occupation at Its
beat, today the eurvey of the month's ex
penses had reduced her to a meaningless
ut real despair.
Moving to tha country bad not leen like
putting money In the savings bank far
from it. And the worst of I hone pant ex
pendltures, as she gaxed upon them.
Mmtd to be that every Item had been ab
solutely neoeaaary.
Hew then could they retrench? with a
throbbing head and a allghlly feverish
pulse, retrenchment eeeina to oast the
only possible light on a gloomy future.
They could not save on the table; that was
"bourgeois." And If you had ever heard
the Boas' wife utter that adjective of su
preme contempt you would have under
stood it, even though the French word
waa unknown to you.
There must be no middle class cutting
town of the butcher's bill, no day-long
oiling of Venerable fowls. There was. In
fact. Just one way of savtiig and that was
tip te bar. ,
She apent far too much money on clothes.'
There waa the matter ef hats, for Instance.
Why should she feel that she must bave
aew millinery every season? Her last
winter's hat, tf It were changed here and
there end bad some new trimming, would
be good enough. That would mean a cav
ing of almost IJO.
rired with this noble ambition, she sorted
e;ver a box of moth-aten treeaurea, the
mummified remains of former millinery
triumphs, and despatched the choicest
pickings, together with her last winter
bat. to Madame something or other, who
promised over the telephone te return the
transformed creation the same evening.
As the day wore on she grew more and
snore melancholy and more and more eeo
stemical, both phases alarmingly removed
frwm Ute normai state.
Even the Boss' return did not raiM her
from her extraordinary Uesttude. 6he rose
languidly to greet htm. but soon settled
bee to ber reclining chair and her ae
ceunui. "tve rauat economise." ahe announced
suddenly after prolonged figuring.
"All right." said the Boss cheerfully, "we
Win."
There waa a Utile more ailent arithmetic
ad than the lady look4 up aolfully and
4da4: "Hut I dont see at all how we
ran economise "
"AU ncfal, we wen t," afreets Ute Baas
Just aa cheerfully as before.
Then she told him of her noble deter- j
mination about the hat. and when the Boss
smiled a trifle eceptlutUly she realised
more than ever that she had Juut the kind
of cold which would turn into pneumonia
and of which she would surely and shortly
die.
"But what good will it do you to save
$30?" inquired the Boss. "Even supposing:
your 'reformed' creation should be becom
ing" and J.ust then the door bell rang.
and later a gigantic hat box waa brought
in.
"That's it!" exclaimed the lady, rousinc
from her lethargy. "I think I'll get up and
try It on!" ,
8he rose and cut the strings of the band
box, though not with the feverish fervor
she would have displayed had it contained
a new hat.
Then she removed several layers of tissue
paper and lifted out what looked to tha
Boss like a huge coal scuttle of black,
fussy fur, with a great dab of flame col
ored feathers on one side.
"Why, she's sent me the wrong hat!"
exclaimed the lady, a new note of excite
ment In her voice, "and here's the bill!
M), It a a letter from Madam Lemon. She
says she has fixed over my old hat. In ac
cordance with my Instructions, but that
she la also sending me a new one on ap
proval, because It Is Just from Paris and
exactly my style , and only $35. Well, of
course, I won't tske it. but It will do no
harm to try It on."
The Bos looked worried as she settled
the gigantic structure on her small head
and then glanced coquetttshly in the mir
ror.
"Tou ran pull Is down over your ears In
winter." suggested the Bote Ironically.
THm't you like UT' Inqured the lady
with a leonine glare, and the Boss, re
joiced to see ber roused to a normai In
terest in life, made no further comment.
It must have been fifteen minutes later
that he beard small, meek Trace say re
signedly: "Well, now. there: Tm going to try on
the old hat But it doesn't look like mucti
bealde thin beautiful thing."
"It'll leok all right on a rainy day," the
Boss observed. "And now cheer up and Til
write ou a check for the new ona Toa've
economised enough for one day."

practical Jokes is usually the only person
who get amusement from them,", com
plains Father.
"They are the kind of yaps who almost
laugh themselves to death when a fat man
slips on a banana peel and breaks his
leg," aays Son. "Those fellows don't have
a good time at all If they don't see three
or four women and children run over by
trolley cars or automobiles during the day.
Such playful occurrencees as old men fall

teeth call for shrieks of Joy."
"It does seem strange how other per
sons' misfortunes seems so mirthful to
some Individuals," protests Father.

"He comes across with the variety, all
right." says Son, "and so far he's In the

"In my Joint they shoot along anything

happier they become. Spoiling a $50 suit of

eight years of Jefferson's two administra
tions. But notwithstanding the overwhelm
ing preponderance of the democratic party
and the great popularity of Mr. Jefferson,
the last years of his administration were
far removed from political peace. When
the time came to choose his successor In
1 the federalists attempted to galvanise
their party Into new life, but the gains
they made were not sufficient to give them
control either of the electoral colleges or
the congress. In the house they Increased
their vote from thirty-one to forty-six, In
the senate from seven to ten, anil In the
electoral collides from the fourteen votes j
given against Jefferson In 1HM to forty-
seven votes given against Madison. Madi
son received 122 electoral votes ami went
Into office backed by a majority of more j
than two to one In both the senate and the
house.
But all was not harmonious. The great
majority of the people preferred to call
themselves democrats, and they hated the
federalists, but they did not agree on
questions of public policy. The great is
sue before the people was how to solve
the problem of dealing with British and
French Interference with American com
merce. For a time beginning about 103, almost
the entire merchant shipping business of
the world was conducted by the Ameri
cans. The titanic strugirle between Na
poleon and all the other powers of Europe
had driven from the seas the ships of
every belligerent nation except England,
and even the British ships were forced to
be cautious and British wares were carried
In American bottoms. This shipping busi
ness was vastly profitable and was world
wide. From Africa, from China, from
South America, from Java, from the
Philippines, from the West Indies, from
every exporting port In the world, Ameri
can ships carried cargoes to the I'nlted
States, there to be landed and neutralized
before being reshipped for ICuropran ports
While England was striking at France to
maintain and establish the British suprem
acy of the seas, that supremacy was In
fact about to be taken awny by Kngland's
lately revolted colonies. In 1K04 Great
Britain began to harrsss American ship
ping by laying a series of paper blockades
and by again Insisting upon the right to
setae American ships and sear oh them for
deserting British seamen.
Napoleon, In his efforts to cripple Eng
land, did not propose to permit British
manufactured wares to reach the oontlnent
nder the alleged neutral protection of the
metican flag, and so he Issued the fa
mous decrees of Berlin and Mllnn. Be
tween Kngllah "orders in council" and
French "Imperial decrees," the prosperous
American merchant marine was paralysed.
American ships and cargoes were ronfis-
ated in F.uropean -orts and British men-
of-war insulted and harassed American
vessels In every possible manner.
Jefferson and the democrats of the old
school, the men who had helped found the
republic, who hated monarchies, who
feared autocratic power, who had led the
revolution of 1800, who hud Inveighed
against the alien and sedition laws, who
had supported the Kentucky ami Virginia
resolutions, feared the menace of military
power more than they feared the stugna
tlon of commerce. Jefferson had made his
will the will of the people of the nation
and he was opposed to a standing army
and to a navy with all the seal of a
fanatic. Therefore there Was no American
navy capable of opposing? the English navy,
and the American merchant marine was
defenseless.
When' Jefferson came Into power he
found It expedient and neoeaaary to aban
don In part hla extreme Ideas aa to the
atrtct construction of the constitution. He,
himself, admitted that he stretched th
constitution until It cracked when he pur
chased Louisiana from tha French. When
the alien and sedition laws of the Adams
administration were opposed by the radical
states' rights propaganda embodied In the
Kentucky and Virginia resolutions, the
federalists had accused the democrats of
federalists were under suspicion of dis
loyal. ty and the demociats achieved an
other overwhelming party victory. The Bin
bai'KO act was repealed, and a Non-lnlei-
ourse act substituted for it, which. In
stead of forbidding all commerce prohib
ited only thst with Kngland and France.
In the meantime the British arrogance
was becoming more ami more Intolerable.
British warships Insolently patrolled the
entrances to Chesapeake Bay and New
York harbor. The British ship, l-eopatd,
captured and searched the American fri
gate, Chesapeake, within a few miles of
Norfolk. The people were furious, but
neither Jefferson nor Madison was willing
to go to war to avenge the honor of the
republic.
When the campaign of 1M0 opened lli
poople of the whole country were furious
against Knglund. With one voice they
cried for war. They disapproved of tbe
weak and vaccllating policy of Madison
and Jefferson, but Uiey hated even more
the federalists who were openly sympathlf
Ing with England. They resolved to elect
a congress which would substitute aggres
sive measures for defensive policies, and
yet they were unwilling to turn out the
democrats by voting in the federalists.
In nearly every congressional dlstriot in
the whole country, tho younger and more
hot-headed element In the demooretlo
party put forward a candidate for congrese
who was pledged to the policy of agares
slon, even to the extent of favoring a sec
ond war with Kngland. Thene candidates
were nearly all young men, and the move
ment responsible for their candidacy took
on the name of "Young American" and
they were known as "Young Republicans."
Their political standing was very much the
same aa that of the Insurgent republicans,
who are now, a century later, giving an
other "off" year-election unusual interest
and importance.
The young republican movement was suc
cessful and of the 142 men who sat In the
eleventh congress, sixty-one were defeated
for re-election. At the name time the fed
eralists lost ground In both houses of con
gress and when the new congress met tbe
house waa composed of thirty-six federal
ists and 106 democrats, while In the senate
thero were only six federalists and thl

with abstract problems involving the forms

Young America waa determined to estab

pense of political peace.
While many of the fathers still were to
linger on the stage for several yeara to

Safe In her quaint old parlor, she
hits down to buttered toast and tea.
And, as she pours the fragrant brew
In priceless cups of Nankeen blue.
She speaks of days she can't forger
An older, nappter past and yet
Her old eyes twinkle as she tells
Quaint talus of bygone beaux and belles
"That Eastman Johnson portrait? Oh,
That's my first cousin. Fully Iaiw;
I've heard her many a day aver
The prince of Walea once danced with her.
Hie married young Van Cortlandt Gray
And they went west. 'Tls many a day

Well, she and Cortlandt both are deed!
"I like the girl of nowadays,

But give the tittle minx her due

When we were young we loved to lear.
We loved to shop, Ve loved things gay.
Nor were we more disposed. I know.
Than modern girls to cook and sew."
The light grows dim; the firelight gleams
O'er the old room until It seems
Out of the shallows, to her side,
I see her old-time lover gilds.
He bends above her, takes her hand,
Khe smiles and seems to understand.
Helgbo! They used the same old ways
To woo the girl of other days!
