If there isn’t, why this extra se-Sion of the army? Among the Mexican people the issue has precipitated a spectes of warfare that tends to savagery. Nor is it strange. A mere trade agreement caused among the cool people of Canada a rumor that we are aiming at annexation, and some of them still believe it. It is not natural, therefore, that the assembling of an army on her border in a time of civil disturbance should enrage Mexico—should imperil American interests there? President Taft is sitting on a dangerous lid this time. If he doesn't lift it, there may be an explosion. ee AN ECONOMIC FALLACY. 4 TING upon the statement of a young Yy woman charged with embezzlement, that she took the money because she could not live on the y wages she received, her employer said: “It is true we would have paid a man more, but supply and === demand control the price. You can get woman’s labor cheaper than a man’s. There is no reason why we should pay more.” Here are statements that sound wise; that will pares as the con- Mon sense of practical life. Yet their refutation is carried in the very facts that the ill-paid woman is in prison and the thrifty supply and demand employer has lost his money. There is no adequate defense for either of the parties to the case. The employee should not have lived beyond her means. The employer should not have paid low wages for high service. There can be no sure fidelity where there is d There is a moral 48 well as an economic law in the universe. “The workman is worthy of his hire.” y injustice. 4-4 WASHINGTONIAN ENTHUSIASMS. Col. Roosevelt's demand that all his faunal trophies lic benefit, but, we are told, they ptoved “with enthusiasm” his suggestion that Cungrees appro- SET tS priate money for the work, It seems to be always so at Washington. No matter how grave be the objections to any proposed measure when considered in itself or with reference to its objects, there is a sudden enthusiasm for it the moment an appropriation is suggested. Men plead for peace, they denounce large navies, but when it is proposed to take money from the treasury for battleships there is an outburst of approval. Neither science nor popular entertainment calle for a spectacular display of the skins of the beasts that the Colonel killed. Such en- thusiasm as welcomes the project is due solely to the Washington mania for anything that rakes the Treasury. local atmosphere, It’s a disease due to the 0 SONG Ox DANCE?

But Sarah Jennings did not intend to waste her friendship and devotion on a mere Duchess when @ royal Princess had shown her unmistakable evidences of affection, She expressed an ardent wish to become one of the Iadies-in-waiting of the Princess Anne, and that amiable young soul obtained her father's consent to the arrangement. Anne desired that her dear friend Garah should treat her as an equal, and when separated the two young women corresponded under the names chosen by the Princess of ‘Mrs, Morley” and ‘Mrs, Freeman.” \ On the accession of James IT. John Churchill had been created a baron. But with the opportunism which alwaye characterized him he deserted his old mas- | ter when William of Orange landed in England. And when William and Mary Were established on the throne he was rewarded for his treachery ip the ‘aridom of Marlborough and an appointment as commander-in-chief of the Engilsh army in the Netherlands. Afterward, however, the Marlboroughs fell into disgrace with Queen Mary and were dismissed the court. Such was the Princess Anne's devotion that she, too, retired, taking sides win her friend Sarah against her sister Mary, When Anne succeeded William, who had survived his wife, Sarah Jennings became the actual dictator of England. The Queen and her favorite differed widely in politics, Being favorite seems to have gone to Sarah Jennings'’s head, Being Queen undoubtedly raised the hitherto supine Anne, The ultimate result of the change !n both women was inevitable. There were quarrels—many quarrels, But the brilliant successes of Marlborough compelled he Queen for a me at least to conceal her estrangement. In 172 John Churchill was created a Duke, and in 1706, after the Battle of Blenheim, tho royal manors of Woodstock and Wootton were bestowed upon him and the Palace of Blenheim built by the nation at an enormous cost. Meantime, however, Abagal! Hill, a poor relation of Lady Marlborough, had succeeded that distinctly domineering pereon in Queen Anne's recard. After ™many scenes of violence and recrimination, the angry Duchess resigned her Posts at court and joined her husband abroad, where both remained until after the death of Anne The Duchess of Marlborough survived her husband twenty-three years. She had marriea John Churchill for love, and when, after his death, the Duke of Sonerset asked her to marry him, she made the famous reply: “I could not permit an Emperor to succeed in that heart which had been devoted to John, Duke of Marlborough!” The Jarr Family “Spring Madness’’ Has Seized Upon the Jarrs!
