THE BEAUTIFUL YET-TO-Bt
Sometimes, in hour of solitude,
Tbe soul can bear a song
From chorister whore eyes have viewed
A world devoid of wrong.
And in the rili-m-e of the night,
lu dream we serin to see
The dawn of right and rlorlous lliht
Of the beautiful yct-to-be. .
It baffles the soul with heavenly hllaa,
I'lituixed wltb earthly 111,
And gently a a mother1 kiss
It soothe it pain until
IWyouJ the gloom ot present days
We fancy we can see
The peaceful hate and pleasant ways
Of the beautiful yet-to-be. . .,
We see a world where virtu thrives:
W'e hear the grand refrain
From tbe harmony of happy lives.
And catch the sweeter strain
Of the melody of, honest worth.
The music ot innocent give
And childish mirth that will gladden tbe
earth
In the beautiful yet-to-be.
Where yooth and maid will be fret to woo
And win the crown of life.
And whtoper the secret, ever nsw,
Yet older than human life.
Mid singing birds and fragrant flower.
While lore' young dream I free
From hostile powers In lovely bowers
Of the beautiful yet-to-be.

'M real sorry, Miss

"I am sorry, too.
But I have bad

nier, and It la near
ly over now. An.
other week would
ouly make me re
gret going more."
Maybe that's so, bot next week 11 be
our county fair, and I'd like you to see
It. Have you ever been to one?"
I admitted that my education In that
respect bad been neglected. For It was
I who had spent the summer among tbe
Jersey bills, and tbe fund of good
stories with which my hostess was sup
plied had often entertained me. Hop
ing: for one now I asked, "What are
they like, Mrs. ConoverT
Well, I suppose "agricultural exhibl
ttons' 1 the real name for 'em, but we
don't often say It They generally last
three or four days. And tbe farmers
take their best bred stock, snd tbelr
blzeest fruits and vegetables. Then
their wives tend bread, and preserves.
and Jellies; and la the fancy tent they
have patchwork quilts, and embroider
ies and oil paintings. And the best of
every class gets a premium."
"Money T" I queried.
"Yes, five dollars or so, but tbe honor
Is really more than the money."
"Will you send anything?" was my
next question.
"No, I never did but once, snd tucb a
time as I had tbenl Shall I tell you
bout Itr
"Yes, please, I wish yorj would."
"Well, It was three years ago, tbe first
year Jlmtule come to us. lou know
we never bad any children and Ezry
was bound to adopt a boy. 8o be got
Jlmtule out of the orphan asylum down
to Elizabeth."
"Hid yon send him to the fair?"
asked. Mrs. Conover sometimes needed
to be brought back to the main track in
her story-telling. - Now a shadow cross
ed her placid face us she answered.
"Yes, Jliiinile went that year and ev
ery year since. But I'll go on wltb my
story. I was lookin' over the premium
list when Ezry brought It borne and I
asked him If be wouldn't enter that Al
derney heifer. She's tbe cow we call
'Daisy' now, and she was so pretty and
tame. But he said no, the wasn t regis
tered, and her keep would cost more
than the premium. And I felt real sor-
ry, for I did want one of them first
premium card. We was the only one
Of the neighbors that hadn't one.
"Then I saw they'd added a new de
partment and would give five dollars
for tbe best cake, and I made up my
mind I'd have that And when I told
Ezry he said, Co ahead, mother. If
nybody In this county can make better
cake than yours I ve never et It' " -
"I think Mr. Conover was right," I
Interrupted.
A pleased look passed over the face of
the story teller aa the continued, "A Ut
ile while before him and me bad been
over to Mnhaly Stiles' to stay all night.
And on the supper table they bad some
thin' that looked for all the world like
water melon, but when you came to
eat it was cake. Ho I told Ezry I was
going to send for Mnhaly' receipt, and
make that He snld It was too late, for
(hat was Wednesday, and the fair open

If It went out tbe next morning I could
get an answer Friday or Saturday at
the latest, and I'd bake my cake Mon
day after I did the washing.
So I wrote the letter and sent Jlro-
mle off to mall It, and Friday night
looked for the answer. But Jlumile
came home empty handed. Saturday
afternoon I drove old Billy Into the vil
lage for the things. I got almonds, and
red sugar, and green sugar. On the way
home I stopped to the pottofflce. Susan
Hnell, the same as has it now,, bad It
then, -
"And the said there was nothlog she
could give me. I was awful disap
pointed, but I thought the letter would
come Monday morula'. So I got up at
o'clock so as to get toy wosbln' out
But Jliiinile didn't bring It up from that
niiill either.
"It was strange," I commented, as
Mrs. Conover paused to take another
pair of socks from the pile she was
darning.
Are you getting tired? Well, I'll be
through soon." '
"Not at all. Please go on."
"That night after supper, Jlmmle
Cime In with a dirty postal card in bis
band screamln' 'auntie, I've got It I've
got it'
"We had him say 'auntie' and 'uncle
because, as I told Ezry, If God had ever
meant us to be called father and mother
be'd have given us tome children of our
own.
I asked Jlmmle what be'd got and
