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 am not In the least In love with >ou, Do you still want to marry me 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 rou as a girl should love tha man she narries, 1 do respect and trust you, md I want to love yoiT. 1 have been inhappy sad * want to be happy; 1 rant a home and husband, and chll- Iren, and all the joys that a woman las the right to expect," "There Is just one thing necessary lefore we marry. Fan, and that ts that four heart should be quite free of any ove for that man. Are you sure It B?” "Absolutely," said Fan, flrmlv. "I lever want to see him ngaln." "I do not want you to marry me, Tan, until you can come to me of yout ►wn free will and say, "1 love you veil enough to be your wife and the nother of your children." 1 only ask rave to make you love me; that'a all." Flsn blushed rosily. "1 don't believe t will be a hard lesson to learn." she nid softly. Then she gave a gay little laugh. "Tomorrow night there Is a meeting it Marian’s flat to report on the prog ress of the Old Maids' Club. I will lave to c.4lfess to my Inquisitors. I wonder If I will be the only deserter." A SUGGESTIVE TlTt_i. He —”1 wonder what the meaning »f that picture Is? The youth and maiden are in a tender attitude." She—"Oh, don't you sec? He has lust asked her to marry' him and she is accepting him. How sweet- What does the artlet call the picture?” He (looking about)—**Oh, I eee. It's written on a card at the bottom— 'Sold ' ” —Upplneott '8 READY FOR ANYTHING. "What do you think of antitoxin ?" “I don't know much about the era nde, but I'll join." 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. THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. d’Afrique in their light blue tunics riding insolently among them. 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 adelphia Evening Times. POOR OLD PA. “We dined out last evening. Pa dis graced us, as usual.” “How?" “Got to the end of the dinner with three forks and two spoons still un used.” HOLLAND CASE IS ON IN THE CITY COURT The case of W. J.
