THE WASHINGTON BEE. There will be two conventions. Is there a republican party in the city ? Are negroes ungrateful ? Both parties are tired of the ne- gro question. They are being unloaded, Republicans leaders are being disgusted. Would be delegates are appealing to candidates for money. You must be up and doing. It is disgusting to see idle poli- ticians. ; They are doing nothing but talk- ing politics. It is natural for men to talk politics. It is natural for them also to de- cline their friends. If you listen to their talk, you will think that they own the people. Don’t be uneasy as the country is safe. Southern politicians are making themselves as disgusting as District politicians. They all want money and noth- ing more. The question is, would suffrage be beneficial to the people ? Kellogg tells a tale of woe. He predicts the election of Tom Reed, General Clarkson is for Illinois, Will Allison be nominated ? Do you want to borrow money ? Lynch and Terrell will accom- modate you. Is there any foreigner in our American courts ? Ex-Senator Bruce is not} con- trolled by any one. If Dr. Rankin thinks that he can use ex-Senator Bruce to the detri- ment of his people, he will be mis- taken. If Dr. Rankin put eff calling the board of trustees until Mr. Bruce returns he will be convinced that he will pull the chestnut out of the fire and not Mr. Bruce. Ex-Senator Bruce is not madc that way. There will be some changes on the school board. There will be some surprises in a few days. Hotel Douglass is becoming very popular. Read the Bee if you want the truth. Every dog has his day. How many days have some Dis- trict politicians ? There is a scratch among some District politicians. Carson charges Holland with wanting to pass for white. They should go across the} river and settle the question. If Carson is elected, District re- publicans must take it for their share. Some one will be in the soup. Bob Key declares that he is going to win. Well the votes in the convention will decide the question. Holland is a citizen of Ohio. Carson is telling the people what he has done for them, and Holland is telling them how many banks he has established. Some one will be fooled. d ‘The tral wopterta? effect profoced by De.

Darrow. LOVE AND DISPARITY. When Robert Kester’s wife died at the age of sixty-five, leaving a tolerably, good-looking widower some twenty, | years her junior, everybody said that as he had made her an excellent hus- band, in spite of the disparity in their | ages, he could now with serene con- | science marry again, and this time & | young woman. Of course, they expect- ed him to wait the year of propriety, but they also expected him to begin to “take notice” almost immediately, as the girls of the community were prink- ing and preening before the event was a week old. That his late marriage could have been anything but an en- forced partnership was to them an im- possibility. With the arrogance of youth they argued that he could not have been happy with a woman old enough to be his mother. It would not | be at all surprising, they said, that when he married again he should choose sweet sixteen as an antidote to his first disappointment. If he made a model husband to an elderly wife, what an ideal companion for youth and inex- perience! , Meanwhile Robert Kester went on the even tenor of his way, not so much as looking at spinster or maiden fair, or troubling his head over the manifest interest displayed toward him. He was mourning sincerely the good woman who had been taken from his home, and who had made his life a most com- fortable one. in age had ever come up between them since he had asked her to marry him und she had reminded him that she was twenty years the older. ' “You will be ridiculed, and I will be blamed,” she said, and persistently re- fused him. ‘Then he was very ill from a long, tire- some fever, and she nursed him through it, and he resumed his offer of mar- riage. “There is a law against a man marry- ing his mother,” she said to this. “Then be my mother-in-law,” he urg- ed, “only take me for better and for worse,” and he quoted something that Emerson had just then written, to the effect that he who loves is in no degree oid. “Yes, but he says ‘he’—that is for a man.” “Man in the abstract, of whom wo- man isa part. If you will not say ‘yes,’ T will conjure up the fever again and you will be sorry.” in this fashion he urged his suit, but she drew a ludicrous picture of the aged wife outliving the affection of her hus- band, who found too late that he want- ed youthful society and amusement. She even rehearsed all the unkind things that would be sure to be said. making them appear in their most ridiculous light. His answer included the illustrious example of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts and at last she relented and they were married. If people expected the middle-aged bride to put on youthful airs they were disappointed. She was calm and digni- fied. and her husband looked so thor- oughly satisfied that the gossips were heart-broken. The world was not ex- cluded from their domain: neither was it exactly invited in. As the years went Ly Robert grew elderly and comforta- ble-looking, possibly from association. It was noticed that when they gave 4 party, as they sometimes did, that he went about with the young people and entered into all their sports, and then the gossips wagged their heads and said, “I told you so!” They could not hear him say after the company had gone: “Isn’t it a relief to be by ourselves, mother? i tried to make myself agree- able as you asked me to, but it was stupid trying. I wish we didn’t have to entertain.” “He called her “mother,” though no child was theirs, and it was at times pathetic to see how much he depended on her “mothering.” One Sunday he had gone to church alune—an unusual event, but she had insisted. It was the beginning of the end that was coming to their long court- ship, and she wanted to be alone and think it over—how best to tell him. And he had come home, disturbing a con- ference with God, to say this: “Mother, how could you let me go to church with the legs of my trousers rolled up like that?” “My dear boy”’—he was always her “dear boy” to the last hand-clasp— “how could I prevent you? You were in such a hurry you did not present yourself for inspection.” “But you knew they were rolled up the last rainy day.” “And hadn’t you the sense to roll them down when it was dry? Why, ‘Robert, living with me must have turned your brain.” That was enough. He kissed her | with all the warmth of a lover, and, that was as far as ever a quarrel progressed. A year passed, and not only was Rob- ert Kester still a widower, but he had not even begun to take notice. He lived in the comfortable house which had been his home for many years, and it was taken care of by a chore-woman who came twice a day and cared for the premises when he was absent. No invitations had wheedled him out of his solitude, and he had never noticed any of the sixteen-year-old girls who were to succeed Mrs. Kester. All overtures of sympathy and respect were put aside. and it lool 2d as if the most elig- ible widower in Green County was to re- main a widower to the end of his days. Robert Kester owned a good horse, which he drove to a covered buggy, in which he and his late wife had explored every nook and corner of the town in which they lived, and much of the sur- rounding country. After his wife’s death he occupied the buggy alone. It was the one pleasure he allowed himself and he drove more frequently than anywhere else to the cemetery in which she reposed. He went there at all hours, but no one could say whether thrift or sentiment took him there. The lot was kept like her flower garden at home, and no other No question of disparity | hand but his touched it. So the spec- tacle of Robert’s horse hitched to the palings caused no surprise. Coming or going, he always carried some tribute »4£ remembrance and affection. Several times he had observed an- | other mourner who visited a lot near his own. He knew her as a poor lonely widow. whose husband and two chil- dren slept there. Her silent, shrinking movements, her grief, and the fact that she was far along the troubled pathway of life. gave her a transient interest, | and one day when a storm was ap- proaching he offered her a seat in his carriage. Such unwonted kindness | quite upset her, and she was silent and despondent during the ride home. She | had known Mrs. Kester aud included her in the few grateful words she said, | in such a way as to please Robert much. Praise of his wife had always been an open way to his esteem. : But the widow went no more to the cemetery. There were several reasons for this. First, the days were growing | cold, and she dreaded rheumatism. Then she did not want that good man, Robert Kester, to think that she was lying in wait for him. And, too, she had accepted a home with a family—a cross, disagreeable man and his prim wife—where in consideration of three meals a day and lodging, she was to act as housekeeper where no servant was kept. Her property had been taken from her by an unscrupulous son, an¢ she was obliged in her old age te work for strangers. . Being a woman of education who in her youth had enjoyed superior advan- tages, she felt that her sphere was low- ering and closing her in. Being a Chris- tian. she accepted the changed condi- tions of her life with fortitude and resignation. But a single petty act of eruelty and injustice raised her again to the plateau of happiness. Going out earlier than usual one morning with his horse and buggy, Rob- ert saw a bowed and weeping woman vanish into the cemetery stile. He wait- ed a long time for her to appear, and then he again invited her to a seat in his buggy. All Green County was electrified when they heard of Robert’s second marriage, and saw that plain, sad Mrs. Black ‘dressed in a dark red—yes, actually red , bridal dress, superintending Robert's home, now hers, and looking like an- other woman in the sunshine of her new life. Then he hadn’t been unhappy before? | He hadn’t repented of marrying a wo- ‘man much too old for him, and proved it by rushing off to marry one much too young? He had selected another |motherly wife, and asked nobody’s per- mission. And he went on living in the same calm, rational way with number two, who seemed to fit into all vacant 1iches as if she had been to the manner bora. -But the effect of all this on the people of that locality has been most remark- able. Disparity of age is the rule now instead of the exception. And it is al- ways on the bride’s side. Tne girls are hurrying up the time when a young man will consider them old enough to marry. Instead of making themselves younger when their ages are asked, they invariably add years to their num- ber, so that they will be considered suf- ficiently ripe in judgment for marriage with their juntors. For these unequal marriages are won- ,derfully happy, filled with a strong and abiding friendship, a comradeship, that indicates the true measure of living. Some one has said that real life never arranges itself exactly Iike a romance. And as the value of first youth is not appreciated until it has vanished, so love produces a second youth of the heart—and with it time has no existence —yeers do not count.—Mrs. M. L. Rayne, in Detroit Free Press. . Overrun by Rats. The island of Tropic, twenty miles south of the Florida coast, has been invaded by an arr ; of savage rats, and the inhabitants have been forced to flee for their lives. Tropic is three miles long and two miles wide and the soil is very fertile. A dozen families have settled on the island and engaged in growing vegetables for market. George Butler, one of the settlers, has Just reached here, and tells a thrilling {story of the invasion and subjugation of Tropic by the rats. Up to a month ago, according to Mr. Butler, there jWere no rats on the island. itime fhe advance guard of the rodents arrived, and were quickly followed by others, until in two weeks there were \fully 10,000 on the island. The rats came from the mainland, |which was only two miles away, and Mr. Butler affirms that they swam across.

At last the people in terror and worn out, fled in their boats to the mainland, where they At that | Then they in- | Mr. Butler says | For three nights, Mr. Butler says, not | | SUBJECTS FOR THOUGHT, Sow good service; sweet remem will grow from them.
