He finds his beloved Yvonne engaged to be married to Englishman named Anderson, a sturdy individual, but not possessed of graces which made the young Frenchman a favorite everywhere. Paul declares to Anderson, man toman, determination to win the girl's love, spite of her engagement, and, although Yvonne remains faithful to her vow, it soon becomes apparent that in heart she prefers gallant Paul to true-hearted but narrow-minded The romance once fairly begun, events crowd each other, and the reader is made familiar with the causes which led to the final expatriation of Acadians.

The blame is not put upon the British, whose rule was not objectionable to the better classes of Acadie, but upon the 'pernicious French agitators, lay and clerical, who, with their Indian allies, not only annoyed the British troops, but in cold blood murdered English settlers and French farmers who did not openly espouse the cause of France.

Nm of the Gown a aad Wrapa That Are Aaaoaneed for the Spring Seaaoa. The frills and graduated flounces added to the fur capes and cloaks of the season do not in the least enhance their rich appearance; on the contrary, the arrangement suggests a compromise with fashion and look as if the addition had been made to lengthen out the garment.

Plaited and crumpled-top fur ruffles arching from shoulder to shoulder, give a humpiness to the figure that is most undesirable though unfortunately fashionable; and those who denounce distending steel springs and canvas and buckram are made to groan under the weight of massed skirt ruf fles, frills, ruches, plaitings and draperies, which produce a similar spreading effect. Among the tailors and modistes angles seem to have been wholly dispensed with. Every jacket, coat, cape, tunic, flounce in short, every garment that admits it, is rounded and sloped at its edges. Indoor toilets and street costumes are alike shaped on this principle, and even some of the jackets made with short Eton fronts have arched basques of great length dipping at the back. Sometimes the basque is cut in one with the waist portion like an English walking coat, cut away on the fronts; again it is added, sloping gradually backward in polonaise style.

Stylish street gowns for next season are made of handsome light-weight, smooth-finished costume cloth, with simple decorations of stitched straps of the same material, tailor buttons and fine silk cord. Very many of the skirts are cut in circular shape, flaring considerably at the foot. The plaits at the back are closely underfolded, and the skirt fastens there or else on the left side of the front under concealing straps. The basque bodice is very short, rery chic and feminine in appearance, and there is a choice between a double- breasted, closely-buttoned model, one open down the front and framed with graceful revers, a shape cut out in the neck, with a fancy silk or other gimp above, or an Eton style with short back and tabbed fronts. Many of the French jackets cut in double-breasted style are very much cut away on the fronts, hich on the upper part close diagonally from the shoulder to below the waist.

In the list of wrap models for spring appears a garment short and closely fitted at the back with semiloose fronts deeply tabbed and short, open sleeves. This model is almost a repetition of the dolmanof past days; a most uncomfortable garment which pinioned the arms closely to the sides, and suggested noth ing so much as fowls ttussed for market. One could not raise a bandker-. chief or umbrella or adjust a veil or stray lock of hair without the risk of a rending of strings or material. Look-in? over the fashion plates of times past, we note the tied-back, over trimmed and trained dress skirts al most invariably associated with the dolman.

The new styles are made of corded silk, arrnure, or satin royal; lace, net plaitinsrs. chenille ruches and fringes, braiding, or a glittering surface of jet bead work forming the gar nitures. N. Y. Post.

NINETEEN WOUNDS. The Remarkable Reeord of Fraalc Kennedy, of the Gallant "Rough Riders.

"I was inGuthrie.O.T., when the war broke out," said Mr. Kennedy.

Roberts Surprises Critics and Public Bis "Slater to Evangeline" One the Beat Books Ever Written in.Ensllah Hla Work as a Poet. of Special New York Letter. There has lately risen into merited prominence an American writer whose work breathes the spirit of true poetry and whose ability to clothe beautiful thoughts into charming language will make his name en- jlm and the products of his brain classics In the narrow 6ense the word, as it is understood by the great majority, he is not an American, but a Canadian. Nevertheless, as he has for some time been a resident of New York, we of the United States have a right to claim him as our own Prof. Charles G.

D. Roberts, to whom this introduction has reference, was born at Douglas, New Brunswick, Jan uary 10, I860. His father, Rev. G. Good ridge Roberts, was rector of the parish of Westcock.

The family moved to Fredericton in 1S79, and Mr. Rob ert attended the collegiate school there. In 1876 he entered the University of New Brunswick, where he had for a classmate Bliss Carman, the noted poet and critic, his first cousin and most intimate friend. His first book, "Orion and Other Poems," was published in 1880, the year of his marriage. In 1883 he Avent to Toronto and established The Week, occupying the position of editor in chief, with Goldwin Smith as owner.

The following year he left The Week, and in 1885 became professor of English and French literature in. King's Nova Scotia. Two years later he gave up French and took the chair of economics and international law instead. For eight months, in 1S97, he was associate editor of the Illustrated American. Since then his attention has been devoted to authorship.

Frof. Roberts' chief work has been history oi Canada, which has been adopted as a text book in most of the PROF. CHARLES G. higher institutions of learning through-1 out the Dominion. Uut to us he appeals as the author of some of the most delightful poems of the period and of the two strong novels, "The Forge in the Forest" and "A Sister to Evangeline." Mr.

Roberts, in spite of the rather disagreeable experiences to which, in common with most literary men, he has been subjected since devoting all his time to authorship, remains an ideal idealist, if such a phrase is permissible. He does -mot allow himself to sacrifice art to "business," and acquaints the world with his literary faith in a dainty little poem, entitled "Life and Art," which we copy from his "New York Nocturnes," a little volume published a year or so ago: Said Life to Art: "I love thee best Not when I find in thee My very face and form, expressed With dull fidelity, But when In thee my craving eyes Behold continually The mystery of my memories And all I long to be." If there is any truth in the accepted theory that a man's expressed thoughts are the representatives of his feelings, Mr. Roberts' is a deeply religious nature, as is evidenced by one of his daintiest poems, entitled "The Falling Leaves:" Lightly He blows, and at His breath they fall. The perishing kindreds of the leaves; they drift. Spent flames of scarlet, gold aerial.

Across the hollow year, noiseless and swift. Lightly He blows, and countless as the falling Of snow by night upon a solemn sea, The ages circle down beyond recalling. To strew the hollows of Eternity. He sees them drifting through the spaces dim, And leaves and ages are as one to Him. Scarcely less impressive and perhaps still more poetical is a quatrain called Thou Who Bidd'st:" Thou who bidd'st a million germs decay That one white bloom may soar into the day.

Mine eyes unseal to bee their souls in death Borne back to Thee upon the lily's breath, The nrose works of Mr. Roberts arc quite as artistic as his poetical produc tions, "The Forge of the Forest" is an account of the life of Jean de Mer, Sieur de Briart, and his latest novel, "A Sister to Evangeline," the author calls "the story of Yvonne deLamourie, and how. she went into exile with the villagers of Grand Pre." Omitting all reference to the "Forge in the Forest," one of the most readable stories of the decade, and confining comment to A Sister to Evangeline," it might be well i to state that the scene of both ro-I mances is laid in the region about Grand Pre and the Basin of the Minas, made immortal by Longfellow in his poem of "Evangeline." The date of Mr. Roberts' latest story is 1755, and the action centers about the great and terrible decree of banishment which tore i he old Acadians from their homes in 4. ffardpn nf Nova Scotia and scattered the garde them in exile over the North American continent.

"A Sister to Evangeline" is not a sad story, though the intensity of many situations threatens at times to make it to.

Manila is a surprise to most Americans, when-they come here and find many well-paved streets, large, commercial houses, beautiful drives, magnificent residences, and evidences of thrift everywhere. It is true that dirt .1 1.1 4 1nmnn Wla itUU Ull'll CAJOl IU lUiUtlllOUlt rAltlil TV V-S proveu, ana wnai- uen.

uuuer uu lur Xew Orleans Gen. Otis is gradually accomplishing for Manila. It has never been the custom to use the first story of the residences, or even the commercial houses, for a place of living or business. The first floor is a sort of cellar, which is usually used for the stables and storerooms. This is true even in the best houses.

The dampness of the climate and the thieving and incendiary propensities of the natives have made this style of architecture a necessity. The windows of the houses are barred with great cagelike iron structures that swell out over the street, and a house is usually surrounded by a-high, iron picket fence, or a stone wall studded1 with broken bottle-glass imbedded in mortar. The native is in evidence everywhere. He is your servant, your day laborer, your blacksmith, carpenter, farmer, stonecutter, cook, and, in fact, represents to the Philippines what the coolie class does to China, the negro to the south; only, as you study his character and take note of his works in artistic, intellectual, commercial and musical lines you are compelled to admit that possibilities exist in his make-up that do not in other native races. It is continually dinned into your ears, that he is lazy, but not hopelessly.

This is a climate of lazy conditions. The Englishman who has become acclimated-never thinks of raising his hand, except for tiffin and a whisky ami soda, from 12 until 3 o'clock. He never walks a step outside of his office during business hours or after. His carriage is always at his door, and, if not-, the streets are lined with two-wheeled gigs, called calis, that stand ready to bump you over the pavements and drag you diagonally back and forth across streetcar tracks for 30 cents (Mexican) an hour. The American is about the only one who walks in Manila, and he is rapidly learning better.

While the sun is in evidence it is a foolish undertaking to brave its rays. Indoors, with or without a punka, the heat is not oppressive at this season. The natives, however, do not notice this condition. They work, heads bared, all day in the streets and rice fields, indifferent to the burning sun. Its only effect upon them is to make them move slowly and to moderate their activity.

An interesting law case has just been settled in the appellate court of Indiana which involves the wages received by a woman from her husband for clerking in. his shoe store.

The court decided against the trust company. The wife worked for $7.50 a week and saved her monej, which was invested in building association stock. When the amount has reached $1,000, business fell off, aidi the husband was forced to borrow from his wife till all her savings were when he made an assignment. He also owed her a year's wages, and her claim against the assignee for $2,378 was- resisted on the ground that a husband could not make a valid contract to pay his wife for her services. The lower court took this view of the case, but when it reached the appellate court the finding of the circuit court was reversed, the judge filing this reason for his action: "It must be conceded that if the contract between appellant and her husband related to services! performed by her in the discharge of her household duties, and the duties incumbent upon her to perform by reason of her marital relations then there would be no consideration to support the contract.

"The law imposes upon her the discharge of such duties, and a contract between them, whereby he was to pay her for such services, could not be upheld, as it would be against public poI icy. Where a married voman performs labor for her husband or family in the discharge of her household or marital duties such labor must be per- formed without financial compensation from the husband, for the reciprocal relations that exist between them. But the labor performed by appellant was not of that character. "She was under no obligation to leave her home and its surroundings and spend years of her life in a store clerking for her husband, yet she did this, under a contract that she was to be paid for it. The consideration was sufficient to support the contract.

The money which was paid to appellant under a contract with her husband, and which was reduced to possession, and "which, she loaned to him, is such an obligation, based upon sound, equitable reasons, that it will be The judgment is reversed."

Chicago Chronicl. of a Pe-ru-na Is knewn from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem edy are pouring in from every state in the Union. Dr. Hartcian is receiving hundreds of such letters daily.

Ail classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman. the preacher all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh.

Catarrh is well-nigh universal; a'-most omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents.

Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na.

The passenger gave it up for lost, and was a much surprised nan when the baggagercaster handed it to him a little while later.

It appears that when the ticket flew through the window a south-bound train was passing. The suction of the train, vhicb was going at rapid rate, drew the ticket along with it, and as it passed the rear end of the north-boned train the ticket blew in through the door of the smoking car, ami was there found by the baggsgeniaster upon the car floor a he was making a tour of the car.
