Nineteen Years Old.
The Chronicle is Nineteen years old
It enters its twentieth year with tlii
is?ue.
For nineteen years I have striven a:
bard us ever man did to give Clieraw ?
creditable paper and to deserve tbe "we
lone" of the | ample of tbe town am
county. 1 have made mistakes am
will not be at all surprised if 1 make
more, but one tiling sure, every mistake
that may have been made was an erroi
of judgement and not of tbe heart.
I do not feel that I have received tin
support of tbe business men of tbe towi
that should have been accorded me
However, this idea may be one of mj
mistakes and it may be that I reallj
received more at their hands than I de
served, lie that as it may, there is uc
one that will question the fact that foi
a newspaiier to exist it must have tin
\ patronage of tbe business men of tin
I place. Unless tbe merchants patronise
[ the advertising column^ of a pai?er thai
paper will soon cease to exist.

? TRAINING IN CITIZENSHIP.
Ever realize that we in America
have been trained in almost everyjr
thing except citizenship?
5, We are told that it is our "duty"
to vote; and that is the sum total of '
our training in the most necessary of ;
= civic virtues.
Schools should interest the young J
mind in public men, in the machinery s
of government, the latter will dogen- i
they have a hand in it, and that if all
act conscientiously, ?he government t
cannot help being in response to their (
will. I
it tney taKe no interest m pudiic
men, public issues and the machinery c
- of government the latter will degen- {
erate to tliat "invisible government" f
f which Elihu Root recently referred to r
r dramatically.
1 A republican form of government
j demands intelligence by its citizens?
not the intelligence of culture generally.
but the ability to discern the
3 good and ill tendencies of government
and strike out boldly for the good. ;
We need more interest in American
citizenship, and not an overwhelming
interest in American dollars.
I. "I am an American" should be the
_ greatest word in tli.- language to evrv
American.
And every American should be a
s good citizen in works as well as in \
* name.
1 Yes, let's teach citizenship in the ^
j schools. It's about time. t

INERIOR WATERWAYS TRAFFIC.
4 The company recently organized to ?
operate boats form Chicago to New <j
1 Orleans has gone into bankruptcy. It 'J
is rather peculiar, as the company C
y seemed to have a fair success. u
, ^And us this concern was foundering J
on financial rocks, the Great Lakes Q
were enjoing the greatest tonnage in
their history. You can ship freight s
from Duluth to Buffalo by train and f
there is plenty of railroad competition *
' but the Great Lakes route for freight s
still stands supreme.
One would think that river transpor ^
tation would likewise be at least half p
! as successful as the Great Lakes traf- j
t fic up the MissisftHM^. the Missouri, the t<
w^ldbe highly developed; and
' ^Arlo^sa^^^^att^lfhe Tennessee, ^
the Wabash, the Green rivers would
perform the same functions for the big
.ivers as branch lines do for the lar- p
;er railroads. " a
Proper channels, ample water, aduate
landings and suitable boats are '
ssent: I to success. Companies that t
egin i )e:'u:ions before these tilings c
re pro\ for are harming the cause s

Tom Grover's
Courtship
By SARAH BAXTER
"What does this mean. Lord Titevad?"
asked Tom Grover, a young
tmericau multimillionaire. "You agreed
o engineer my entree into Loudon solety
for a consideration and $25,000
laced where it would do the most
;oud, and here I am placed in a push
iou that should insure my banishment
rorn any respectable social circle."
"Weally, Mr. Grover, I?I"?
"1 would rather." the other went on
ugrlly. "have had this happen in any
ther family than the Grosvenors.
"his check is returned by Marian
Irosveuor. every inch u lady, with a
iote as cutting as n Saracen scimitar,
don't cere so much for my ruiu with
.ondon society as I do for the opinion
f Miss Grosveuor."
"You will not Lie ruined with London
ociety on this recount. Mr. Grover.
or the matter will never pass beyond
he Grosveuor family. I have been
ending such checks to Lady Gros
enor for several years When the

"Not even Miss Marian?"
"Good gracious, man. do you suposfc
sbe would publish such a matter
bout her own mother?"
"I must straighten the matter out
vith this high spirited young woman
f it requires ten years and my for

better than I: tell me of
ome favorable point of attack."
Lord Titewad spent seme time In
bought, during which Grover walked
he floor like a fretful tiger; then the
ormer said:
"Miss Gn.svenor Is much interested
u the Waterloo hospital."
The American looked at him inqulr
ugly for a few moments, then said:
"I see. That will do. I?rd Titewad
fou need net concern yourself any furher
in my Introduction to Loudon soiety.
Had I known how you intend d

our proposition. I supposed you would

ontact until men of social influence."
"There is a large amount unexpended."
"Keep it. Good morning."

On would not suii^
hat acquaintance.
for However, the barrier between tbeiu
ich | did not remain there long. On Dec. 30fas,
he wrote Miss Grosvenor that on New
>nd Year's day in America calls were in orin
j der and if she would graciously permit
11, him to make on her the only call lie
the I cared to make in London he would not
i.vsj trouble her further, for he was about
os j ro sail for home,
lie; Grover's attempt to make Miss Gros
as. j veaor's acquaintance was a very round
6W about and expensive one. but when he ,
Jbl i reached the last stage it was very sini
os pie. Miss Grosvenor replied that It
bio would be very ungracious for him to
ro- leave Loudon without giving her an.
'e< opportunity to thank him for the gen ]
die; erous gifts he had bestowed on the
led London poor and suffering. She would'
lor be delighted to receive him.
die It cannot be expected that the meet
>er ing between the two could ocruf withler
out embarrassment on both sides. Mr
Grover had the tact to make his cull *
100 very short, giving some trumped up
if- reason for haste, but begged permlsbe
slon to call again before his departure,
as when he would be less hurried,"to say
ng goodby. It is needless to say that the
ng request was granted, and he felt en
he oouraged.
oh If Grover bad any idea of an early
lie return to America after receiving this
ve permission, he gave it up later. He
ier remained in England six months longer,
by and when he returned Marian Grosbe
renor went with him as his wife.
