In a way they had been engaged for
a year or more, Tom Baiters and Lin
oa ureen m a way, 1 gay, because
tue bumble people living In the coves
or scattered cabins on the sides and
crests or tne southern mountains do
not speak of "engagements."
It is taken for granted that when a
young teller" "hangs around" the
cabin" of a mountaineer possessing
marriageable daughter he has matrl
mony in view, and when the nearest
neighbors are called In to see the
couple Jump the broomstick or stand
up before a traveling preacher to be
made one there is no surprise and lit
tle comment.
The father of Linda Breen had no
questions to ask of Tom Baiters. He
had known his father for years. Tom
had as yet no questions to ask of Lin
da s sire. Neither Linda nor her moth
er bad referred to the subject Many
times when Joe Breen and the young
man were out hunting squirrels or
walking to the village together Tom
would suddenly say without preface:
."Reckon me'n Linda better git
hitched."
And the father of Linda would throw
away the old quid, bite off another
and after chewing away for a couple
or minutes would reply:
"Yes, I reckon."
That evening the father would have
a few words to say to the mother in
private, and at a later hour she would
casually remark to the daughter:
Tom Baiters wants' you, and I reck
on you'll be goin' In a few days."
Nineteen times out of twenty the
marriage would follow. There would
be a. new squat of land taken up, a
new pole cabin built, and another f am
ily would go on making mountain his
tory. But in this case no marriage
followed. It was all on account of the
arrival of Tom Salter's uncle from a
village In the lowlands. He was in
business down there and wanted help,
so- he bad come for Tom.
Tom had no education, but he had
native wit He was known to be a
"right smart" young man. The uncle
talked of a broader field, a chance for
education and a rise in the world. Lin
da must wait At the end of a year or
two Tom could come back and marry
her and take her away.
And In the twilight of a Bummer's
evening Tom and Linda sat on a log in
front of her father's cabin, a space of
a foot between them. Both looked into
vacancy, and he told her of the plan.
He talked In a Jerky, disjointed way.
but she understood as well as If he bad
been a silver tongued orator. He bad
asked for her hand. He meant to mar
ry her. He had no thought of disloy
alty. The road seemed straight and
plain to him, and be did not dream
that there was a knife at ber heart as
she listened.
Men will never understand bow far
reaching woman's Intuition Is. The
girl followed Tom's words, and yet she
saw months and months and months
ahead of them.
Two or three times she Instinctively
reached out ber hand as If to detain
him, but drew It back without his hav
ing observed the action. Two or three
times there were tears In ber eyes, but
she took care that be should not see
them.
"WelL what do yon reckon?" be
asked as be had finished and the si
lence had lasted for a long minute.
"Better go, I reckon," was the reply.
What other answer could sbe bave
made, a tousled, barefooted, Ignorant
girl of the mountains, and yet would
ber woman's pride seek to detain blm
when be bad proposed the separation T
Tbey sat together for five minutes
longer, and then tbey separated, she to
enter the cabin and seek Its darkest
corner to let ber tears torn and be to
shake bands wltb ber father and moth
er and bid them good by.
It may be aald of the lovers that
both could "write a scrawl or two
and both could read a scrawl or two,"
so scrawls passed between ' them.
Tbey were weekly at first, and then
there were lonirer Intervals. If Tom
did net write. Linda could not answer.
Then one day there came a neighbor

The sneaker did not mean to wound

Washington Letter.
VVabhisgton, July 4,
1908.
Not withstanding the departure
of the President to his summer home
and the scattering of the Cabinet
and the Supreme Court, movements
emanating from or centering in
Washington are of more than usual
interest this summer. The Secre
tary of War, or he who was until
yesterday the Secretary of War and
is now the Republican presidential
candidate, is in the city winding up
matters for his final departure. He
is today, for the first time for years,
a private citizen and the most con
spicuous private citizen in the west
ern hemisphere. He expects to
leave for the Hot Springs of Virgin
ia on the Fourth of July, with Mrs.
Tail and their youngest son, Charles
Taft, a youth of ten years. Mr. Talt
has been in the habit of spending
his summers in Canada, but it will
not be convenient for the Presiden
tial Candidate to be out of the coun
try and he has selected a place in
Monroe County, Virginia, among
the mountains, for his summer
home. The Hot Springs of Virginia
have been a resort for fifty years or
more, and, even before the War,
rivaled the Green Briar White
Springs as a fashionable resort for
the slave-holding aristocracy of the
South. Within the last few years it
has been resort of the weal by and
ultra fashionable people of the North
and Northeast. While the presi
dential candidate and part of his
family will be there for the hottest
of the summer months, his daugh
ter will visit a school friend in Geor
gia. There is, of course, no politi
cal significance in the selection of a
resort south of the Mason & Dixon
line, but the fact, insignificant as it
is, marks the amelioration
of long standing political asperities.
There are political wiseacres who
predict that the republican candi
date will carry two or three southern
states in the coming election and the
fact that be and bis family are at
home in the south will not be with
out its significance.
It is reported this morning that
President Roosevelt has bought a
lot for a residence, in the City of
New York, at a cost of a million of
dollars. Two or three weeks ago
only, it was supposed that the Presi
dent would be without occupation
after March the fourth, and it waa
published that he was comfortably
well off, having an income of at least
ten thousand dollars. The question
naturally arises: How is the Presi
dent able to buy a lot for building
purposes worth a million dollars?
Many ex-Senators and ex-cabinet
officers bare been known to buy
homes or build homes in Washing
ton, but do ex-president baa ever re
mained in the city longer than his
term. Ex-Presidents bave always
returned to their homes in the
states. There may be a reason for
this. No king or emperor, after
having enjoyed or endured the
splendors of state, was ever known
to settle down as a quiet citizen amid
the scenes of hie vanished glorias.
The President of the United States,
is, aa far as honors and pageantry
are concerned, a king or an emporor,
and the anti-climax of private life
would doubtless be too severe, as
felt by himself and all who come in
contact with bim, for a merely mor
tal nam.
At the Stat and War Department
in this city, the situation in Mexico
is watched with interest The Mexi
can Government, of coarse, treats
the insurgents aa banditti -for pre
cisely the same reason that the Brit
ish Government a hundred and
thirty years ago, treated the revolu
tionary fathers ss .rebels. Aa im
portant difference in practice is that
the Mexican Government take no
prisoners but kills those it captorea,

There is a janU or body of eoo-

have or had in New York City, very
much such a junta against the Eng
lish government. There are mal
contents, and with good reason
against every government. Diaz has
the railroads for the transportation
of such troops as are in the Mexi
can army, which consists largely of
barefooted convicts, and he will pro
bably be able to suppress the insur-
recto's or drive them across into
Texas. But it is not at all certain
but that there will be a succession
of uprisings in Mexico, or thit that
country has a more stable govern
ment than the Central and South
American countries. Diaz is very
old and feeble too, and revolution
is anticipated at his death.

HIGHEST IN THE WORLD.
New York to Have (2-Story Oil Ice
Building.
New York Sun.
Plans lor a gigantic building to be
the loftiest in the world, overtop
ping the Metropolitan tower by more
than 200 feet, were filed yesterday
afternoon with ' Building Superin
tendent Murphy by D. II. Burn
bam & Co., architects of Chicago,
acting for the Equitable Life Assur
ance Society.
The new building will be the new
home of the society, occupying the
site of the present edifice on the
block bounded by Broadway and
Nassau, Pine and Cedar streets.
With its tower the new Equitable
Building will have rixty-two stories
and will be 909 feet above the curb,
109 feet higher than the Metropoli
tan tower with its forty-six stories.
The flagpole will run up 150 feet
higher.
While the contracts of this sky
scraper of skyscrapers have not been
drawn up as yet, it was said last
night that the construction will be
begun within a short time or just
as soon as the construction details
can be awarded and the contracts
awarded.
This means that the present big
building of the company, erected n
the days of Henry B. Hyde, will be
pulled down very shortly, the Equit
able taking temporary quarters
elsewhere. These temporary quar
ters have been secured.
It was announced several months
ago that the society had abandoned
for the present its intention to erect
a new building, although the plans
bad been ready for some time. The
reason given at the time was the
financial conditions. ' A man prom
ioent in the affairs of the society
said last night that these conditions
had improved so materially that the
erection of the new building had
been decided upon. It will cost
10,000,000.
According to the plans filed yes
terday, which made ap a series of
fify-eighty huge drawin g", the new
Equitable Building will closely re
semble the Metropolitan Life's struc
ture, although taller.- These plans
provide for a main building of
thirty-four stories, 489 feet high,
which will be more than twice as
high as the main building of ihe
Metropolitan or of the Singer Com
pany. This main building will have
a frontage of 167. 1 feet on Broadway,
152.3 feet on Nassau street and 304 2
and 812.3 on Pine and Cedar streets
respectively.
Above this main building the
tower will run up heavenward 420
feet, making the total height 909
feet. There will be twenty eight
stories in the tower. It will be fin
ished with a cupola.
This towtr will be -in two sections,
one section extending from the
thirty-fourth to the forty-ninth
story sod lbs other a smaller one,
rising from the forty-ninth to the
fifty-eight story. The main cupola
will extend four stories above this.
The facades of the buildinx are to
be of brick and granite with trim
mings of terra ootla. The design
will be of the Renaissance type, pre
sen ling bays set between great pilas
ters of Corinthian and Doric pat
tern, the corners being offset with
clustered columns, lbs bays will
be elaborately decorated with carv
ed work. Ths roof of the main
structure will be finished with main
coDoIas several stories bigb set
er
around tbs base of the tower.
. To carry the people ap and down
ia this big place there will be thirty
eight passenger elevators built in
two rows ia s great elevator corri
dor finished in ornamental bronze.
Eight of these elevators will ran to
the top of the tower extension. In
addition to these there will be a
number of elevators exclusively for
freight transportation.
Ia filing these plans at tbis time
tbs architects bave prevented tbem
from being effected by say change
ia tbs building law limiting ths
height of buildings socb as bas been
diecnased and advocated before the
special building codes commission.
Tbs new Equitable Building will
look down upon the Singer bond
ing great as It is. It is 617 fast
from the curb to the pinnacle of tbe
8iager tower. The Singer Building
bas forty-eevea stories, six being
takes) ap by tbe cupola and lantern.
The Metropolitan tower is just an
even 700 feat, coon ting tbs metal
point which will ornament the lea
tern, which is 692 feet above the
pavement.
Tbe new Equitable Building will
come only a few feet abort of tbe
Eiffel Tower, the highest structure
yet reared by men in the age of steel.
The tower ia 984 fret above the
ground, but the highest point to
which ths public may ascend is 906
feet. From the top to the famous
lower of Paris a view of eighty miles
may be had which is about the view
one may get from the topof New
York's greatest skysoraer when it
is completed.
The most extensive change in re
cent years in the consular service
took place last week when no less
than 57 American consular officers
were promoted and transferred to
different stations. This rearrange
ment of the service was made possi
ble by the passage by Congress at its
recent session of the consular re or
ganization act. One of the changes
was Hunter Sharpe, who is credited
o North Carolina. He was pro
moted from consul st Kobe, Japan,
to consul general ac Moscow, Rus
sia. The density of the earth as a
whole bas been estimated, with close
agreement among tbe several scien
tists whoNhave made the determine-
tion by different methods, to be
about five and one-half times as
heavy as an equivalent sphere of
water. On the other hand, the
average density of the materials
farming the accessible portions of
the earth's crust is between 2.2 and
3, so that the mean density of the
whole globe is about twice that of
its outer part. This indicates that
tbe central part of the earth is com
posed of heavier material and may
even be metallic, which would ac
cord perfectly with the nebular hy
pothesis.
The highest bridge in tbe world
will be tbe trolley-bridge now under
construction across the famous Roy
al Gorge, in Colorado, which will
be 2,627 feet, half a mile, above
tbe rier below. As far as height
goes, this little bridge only 230
feet long will be in a class by
itself, its nearest competitor being
tbe : recently completed Zambesi
bridge, in Africa, 450 feet in height.
A serious attempt is being made
to bring back into cultivation
a large tract of land in the south ol
Portugal. Some energelio men in
the district of Serpa, in combina
tion with tho municipal authorities,
hsve set to work on 100,000 acres,
dividing it up into allotments of 15
seres each, and letting it at a nomi
nal rent, free of local rates and taxes
for ten years. A heterogeneous
mixture of settlers have already
taken possession of the tenement.
Carpenter, masons, doctors, chem
ists, barbers, seamstresses, taylors
and even beggars figure on the list

break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneya and
a cure ia obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If yon are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being;
compelled to go often through the day.
and to get up many times daring the '
niekt. The mild and the extraordinar
effect of Swamp-Root ia soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases..
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and ia
old by all drnggiats in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
ample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Bingbamton, N. V. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in thia paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
