Fan looked thoughtfully Into the
Ire’ii glowing ember*, then turned to
he voting man at her aide.
"I have been unite hnneet with you,”
he enld. "I like you verv much, but

tnowlng that?”
"Yes," said the young man eorn
istly, "I do. I love you and I know
lo are suited to eaeh other, and,
tome day. you will love me. 1 mean
d make you love me."
Fan smiled, n snfl little smile. "Is
eve a matter of choice?" she asked
vlstfully. "Can one learn to love, or
tease to love, at will?”
"Don't you think, dear, that It would
>e easier for both of us If you told
ne the whole truth?" the man said
ifter a pause.
“There’s Not Much to Tell."
Pan stirred restlessly "There Is
mt much to tell," she answered. “A
nan made love to mo for four years,
Ivor since we were children We
rere engaged for two years, my trous
teau wss ready, the weddtng day set.
rhen I learned that he waa In honor
tonnd to marry a girl In Chicago.
That's all."
"I Want to Lova You.”
"Well, then, I met you. and though,
is I frankly told you, 1 do not love

narries, 1 do respect and trust you,
md I want to love yoiT. 1 have been

"There Is just one thing necessary

Flsn blushed rosily. "1 don't believe

nid softly.
Then she gave a gay little laugh.
"Tomorrow night there Is a meeting

wonder If I will be the only deserter."

PACK YOUR TRUNK AND GO!
W hether you go with The Herald’s party to vis
it Canada, Scotland, England, France, Holland and
Belgium this summer or not, The Herald’s advice to
all its readers is still the same, ‘‘Pack Your Trunk
and Go”.
You have hut one life to live in this world, then
why not see more of this world before you leave it?
It is good to see something of this world of ours, its
different lands and customs and peoples. It is good
to take a rest and vacation that is educational and
stimulating and the effects of which will remain with
you all the rest of your life.
There is even a larger and better education to he
found in travel than in class rooms or between the
covers of many books.
The real reason why more of the good people of
this city and section do not travel is because we have
allowed ourselves to get in a rut which is a bad thing
for any of us. Why not get_out of the rut when it is
so easy and so well worth while to do so?
And the beauty of travel in the lives of all of our
people is that however short the trip or time we may
be able to give to it, the lasting rich impressions will
be with you for all time. The case is well put by E.
Alexander Powell who in writing upon this aspect of
the case in Everybody’s says:
“To the newspaper reader distant parts of the
earth can be little more than names and the chief ac
tors upon those stages little more than shadows —un-
til he has seen them. But let him once see them, if
only for a few hours, and the picture will rise before
his vision every time he reads of them for the rest of
his life. He fits the facts into the frame and paints
them in the right colors.
“He has spent only a day or two in Berlin, per
haps, but when he reads of the spring review on the
Tomplehof field he, sees the coming and going of daz
zling officials and equerries, the gleaming breast
plates and eagle-helmets and black horses of the
Garde du Corps, even the stern, set face and ereet
figure of the War Lord himself. He may have stayed
only a few hours in Naples; but when he reads of an
eruption of Vesuvius he again secs the grim and
smoking mountain rising above the cobalt bay, ho has
scant difficulty in picturing the trailing clouds of
dust and cinders and the highways choked with ter
ror-stricken fugitives, and he realizes, as he never did
before, what such a catastrophe means to the pros
perity of southern Italy. His steamer may have
touched just for a morning at Tangier, but whei| he
reads at the breakfast table of the fighting in Moroc
eo, he sees again, as on a moving-picture screen, the
white-walled, flat-roofed houses and the narrow,
filth-strewn streets; the haughty, fierce-fneed tribes
men and flie young French officers of the chasseurs
FORCES BEHIND THE
COMMISSION FORM.
One of the beet evidences of the
substantial atrength of the movement
says the N. Y. Tribune, Is that It has
made Its progress quietly and nat
urally, No political party Is behind
It, nnd the politicians generally op
pose It ns a serious Invasion of tin hr
ancient rights and privileges. The i
plan Is being tried on a small scalo
In many scattered communities, and
Its merits and defects are being gang
ed by people, who hnve no Interest In |
It except ns a moans to better local |
government. It Is not being exploited |
as a fad, and If It proves Its value the !
traditional form of city glvernmonl
will soon find It a formidable coin- I
petitor for public favor. Everybody I
will admit that we have still much to'
learn In the experimental science of,
local self-government.
WHAT THE COMMISSION FORM
HAS DONE FOR HOU9TON.
Commission plan put Into effect In,
1906.
Tax-rate reduced from $2 to $1.70.
Assessments proportionately lower
than ever before.
Floating debt of $400,000 paid off
Cash on hand In city treasury, $900,-
000.
City has bought a waterworks plant.
City has done much paving. This
Is paid for entirely by the city nnd not
assessed on abutting property-own
ers, a* In Tampn.
Several new parks bought and Im
proved.
Ship channel deepened by city Itself
without waiting for government ap
propriation.
Price of gas reduced from $1.60 to
$1.16 tier thousand.
In its advertising, Houston states:
"Her city hall Is a business house; the
has no wards, no ward politicians and
no graft."
GOV. BROWN’S SUGGESTION
ON BUILDING ROADS.
Uov. Brown s suggstlon of an amend
ment In the convict laws and huildtng
roads connecting oountv seats la cre
ating favorable comment. On this
point the governor says:
"1 think," says the governor, "that
Uie law regarding the convicts should
be amended so ns to require that at
least a good percentage of them In
each county should be required to con
struct good roads leading from the
county site In one county to those In
udjolntng counties. The several coun
ties would thus. In a few years, have
fine highways for general travel. If
this were done all over the state we
would have splendid public roads lead
ing from end to end and from side to
side of the state. The building of
these groat highways could be co-ordi
nate with the building of subordinate
roads through the counties.”
BETTER COMPROMISE
"Seems they are having trouble
about the polling places In the states
where women vote."
"The women won't vote In barber
shops, and the men don't want
booth* placed In millinery stores."
AUGUSTA AFFINITIES FOUND
INSTALLED IN COZY FLA T
A full-fledged "affinity" romance,
In which a pretty Augusta stenograph
er Is the central character, was un
earthed Jn Atlanta Thursday by De
tective A. J. Matthews, of the Au
gusta police department. Miss Nellie
Coursey was arrested, charged with
having eloped with a married man,
George Woodward. Both are of Au
gusta.
Detective Matthews wired the chief
of police Thursday that he was leav
ing on the mid-day train from At
lanta and would arrive with the man
and woman at 9.40 o'clock Thursday
night.
Miss Coursey was originally of
Granltevllle, S. C. For some time past
she has been stenographer for Court
ney & Co., In the Leonard building.
Woodward was a conductor on the
Augusta-Aikeli Electric Hullway- com
pany. He has a wife nnd two chil
dren. He became Infatuated with.
Miss Coursey, who Is his cousin, and
deserted his wife nnd children to run
away with her.
The case was reported to the Au
gusta police by the father of Miss
Coursey, and the two elopers were lo
cated by the department.
Miss Coursey applied for a position
In Atlanta nnd with a full description
of the girl, who, by the way Is only
18 years of age, she was located.
Detective Matthews was sent to At
lanta two dnvs ago, nnd the climax of
the case was reached Thursday morn
ing.
The detectives found the affinities
living together, happily nnd coxlly, In
an uptown flat.
An amusing feature of the case Is
that Miss Nellie, when the detectives
entered, was busily engaged In sew
ing some children's clothes which she
Intended to send back to George's
children In Augusta.
Miss Coursey ts perfectly frank and
honest about the whole matter. It Is
said In a dispatch from Atlanta. She
cannot understand what business It Is
of the "horrid detectives" but she is
very sweet and polite about It even
when she calls them "horrid." Her
explanation is very simple.
"Of course I love George,' 'she says,
"and he loves me. That's the reason
we ran away together, but before we
did. I made him promise that he
would support his wife and children,
that he would always send them
enough to live on, half of everything
he makes; and I was going to work,
too, to help support us if the money
ran short."
. NOT GUILTY.
Chicago—Robert E Cantwell, an at
torney charged with perjury in con
nection with the trial some time ago of
three Chinese accused of murder, was
found not guilty by a Jury In Judge
Scanlan's court today.

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS NATION.
But thev say this is an age of radicalism. And
may I ask, what is radicalism? An interesting cir
cumstance about the radicalism of our own time is
that it proposes a restoration.
The literary theory of our institutions is that we
are living under a representative form of govern
ment. The fact is that we are not living under a rep
resentative form of government. People are work
ing now, not to destroy, but to restore representa
tive government. * * * We know what we want,
and both parties promise to give us what we want.
But the fact is we haven’t got what we want.
We want liberty. But what is liberty? Liberty
consists in the best adjustment possible in society. It
doesn’t consist in having our own way; nor in any
class having its own way; but in the reasonable and
most equitable adjustment of all the interests of the
country with each other. * * * tin order to have
the people brought into the game again, we’ve got to
sweep something aside. We need not eliminate or
ganizations. I believe in organization. But we must
sweep aside that organization which is not depend
ent upon the people for its existence. * * * If we
can’t get it we will have the initiative and referen
dum. * * * If our representatives do not repre
sent us they will be dispensed with. We are not thus
doing away with representative government. We are
simply making sure that we are going to have repre
sentative government.—From Woodrow Wilson’s
Philadelphia Speech.
Proposals For Marriage Should Be Before
Breakfast to Ensure Happiness
When should men propose?
This is always an interesting ques
tion.
It la sometimes of vital interest to
the woman passing bevond the bord
er land separating maidenhood from
spinsterhood.
I-ondon papers have precipitated a
controversy on this all absorbing
question.
It appears to have been begun by
Lady Troubrldge. She Insists that
men should propose by day; that half
the unhappy marriages are caused by
the fact that proposals are so often
made and accepted In the conserva
tory, at a ball or in a softly lighted
drawing-room.
The lights, music, the flowers, din
ner, all, says this titled woman, tend
to carry the men away from the prac
tical viewpoint, to make them view
the world through rose-colored glasses
and to plunge Into a serious enter
prise.
If they had halted for the unroman
tic daylight, thinks she, they never
would have ventured to propose.
This authoress of title, said to he
herself happily married, argues there
SENATOR TERRELL SAYS
HE'S STILL IN THE RACE
Has No Thought of Retiring.
Leaves Washington Sunday
For the South.
Atlanta, Ga. —Senator Terrell will
leave Washington next Sunday for
Atlanta, accompanied by his wife. He
will travel over the Southern railway,
says the Constitution.
lie sat up In bed yesterday and re
ceived a number of visitors.
He was still sitting up when the
Constitution's representative called to
ask about the reports whlcn have
gained currency In Georgia that Sen
ator Terrell's condition would not per
mit him to make the fight for the long
senatorial term.
Mrs. Terrell was gotten on the
phone and asked the question;
"Has senator Terrell retired from
the race for the senate because of hla
condition?”
She turned and repeated the sub
stance of the question to the senator,
and then quoted his answer:
“I am still in the race.”
Some of Senator Terrell’s friends
here thought, that it would be exceed
ingly dangeous for him to attempt an
aggressive campaign because of the
physical and emotional strain under
which he would labor.
While he Is improving, they say he
eatinoi hope to recover in time to
prosecute in person his candidacy be
fore the legislature. But no such
thought Is in the mind of the distin
guished patient. So far as he, himself,
is concerned, he has no purpose but
to make the fight.
TWO SMALL FIRES CALL
FIREMEN OUT THURSDAY
Two smalt fires called the depart
ment Thursday though fortunately
netther was of much consequence.
Box 61 was pulled at 11.40 a. m. and
the blaze was located at 1008 Talcott
street. The damage wrs about sl6.
The property was owned by Geo. R.
Lombard and occupied by W. J. Mil
ler.
At about 2.40 o'clock Thursday af
ternoon the fire apparatus responded
to an alarm which was rung In from
Box 66. The fire was at 1337 Kollock
street. There was no damage done
and the cause is reported as a defec
tive flue. The house was occupied by-
Mary Hughes and owned by Beasley
& Koon, real estate agents.
fore that proposals should be reserved
for the coolness of day, the morning
In preference, even before breakfast.
It Is further advised that the young
man be compelled to undergo a fast
of six hours before approaching the
subject. If, In that state of jfilnd, he
proposes to the girl he loves, then he
certainly will love her all his life.
Such is the very practical advice
to young men.
How many young women desire
their suitors before- breakfast?
How many young men would con
tinue In the proposal frame of mind
after a before-breakfast view of their
charmers of the previous evening?
When should men propose has not
been settled by the authoress.
It Is a question which cannot be
settled like a financial problem.—Phil
