From the German of Karl Eiron Tbert.
Thromrh green halls vt the forest
Wows .
A gentle, morning breeae
The lively songs of bird Is heard
Anions the youug birch trees.
The squirrel leaps from tree to tree, '
Through thicket slides the rts
And tlsiusamls In the woods rejoice
When morning breetea blow.
Then as I walk beneath the shade
And all the trees rewound,
Shall I akinc not slim, when tlicy
With Joyful songs abound?
To Him vCho all the forests sows
With gladness I will sing.
For He who built the dome of heaven
Doth warmth and coolness bring.

the contrary she keep herself alwavs

ner your mother's tastes and wishes
always have the first consideration.
I've had Just alwut enough of It, so
je thing must stop. As the old lady
1 s not seem Inclined to leave of her
, own free will, and refuses to take a
flint, sne must be told to go In Inn
uace that she can't misunderstand.'
"Then you must tell her, for I can
not," sobbed Tolly.
Jack had hoped that the task might
be undertaken by his wife, who, with
. her -womanly tact, would, he tlioiiirlit,
,be ablo to manage the affair a little
more skillfully than he could hope to
do, but, having gone so far, he would
not now retreat.
"Very well," ho said, airily, "HI tell
her myself tomorrow, whatever the
consequences may te. '
"Mother-in-law," said Jack the next
morning, having found the oimortn
nlty, "I've jrot something particular to
say anocting yourseir."
The old lady adjusted her snectaclr
lu a neat little simulation of surnrtee.
, "Affectlnff me!" she exclaimed. "Go
n, my dear John! I'm ail attention."
Jack screwed up his courage and
.went on:
. "I we itbat is, your daughter and
1 nave oecn married three years "
"Three years!" broke Jn the old ladv
"Dear me! How the time flies! It
hardly seems three months! Well?"
Jack didn't like that "Well!" but he
went on:
, "It Is -three years, though, and you
nave lived -with us all the time."
, "Ah, yes, John, so I ihave," said, the
jauy ihiainny.
. "And I we, tiiat Is have icome to
the conclusion that we should now
like to live by ourselves."
"Oh, Jolm Hadley," she said coldly.
,"I see what you mean. You want to
turn me out of doors!"
, "Not exactly that," said Jack, depre-
catingly. "We should never, of course,
think of turuJnjj you out, but we cer
tainly ventured to hope that you
would prdliably eee your way to llv
Jrig at your own home In the future,
as no doubt you do."
, "I quite understand, Mr. John Had
ley," returned the mother-in-law, frees;
ilngly. "It's Just the same thiiitf. I'm
not a fool, and can put two and two
together. Very well, It shall Le as you
wish I will go today!"
. , "There Is no need for suvh great
haste," snld Jack, mildly. "A week or
two, or three, would give you time to
arrango your plans, and would quite
suit ours."
, "Enough; I go at once," said the old
lady, moving toward the door as If
jrepared to act lustanter. "One word
Is-fore I leave," she added, majestic
ally, pausing at the threshold. "Vou
(Imve Said '-we.' Do I understand that
niy daughter Is a party to this Insult?,"
"Your daughter, Mrs. Unship," sold
Jack, ttuug Into a commanding tone
by the dlirnlfled demeanor of the lady,
"Is my wife, aud as nuvh her lirst duty
Is to her husband. Consequently, liny
thluir done by tm or at my wish Is
equally iier act."
"Thank you," sahl the old lady,
Imwlmt hersetf out of the room.
Jihk was sut-irlsHl, but not nlto
pettier delighted nt lie easy victory he
had achieved. He bad anih-liHited op
IMtstUon, and was almost dl'ipiotiitcd
in tlndliig none. However, he accom
plished his punose, for Tolly's mother,
true to her word, made a speedy exit
from the house.
At first Jack and his wife missed the
old lady givntty, for she had always
been much In evidence, lu fact, so
lonely Hint solcuin did the house now
seem without her that Jack sometimes
almost wished she hadn't itoue, and as
for Tolly, she had many a good cry
by herself over the affair. Hut as her
huslmmt uow made a point of spending
less time at his club and mmv at home
lu her society, she couldu't help be
coming reconciled to her loss, 80, as
the lonely feeling irrndunlly wore off,
and the young couple got UMCd to the
now order of things, Jack H.idley con.
gnitulated himself ou haviutt di ne the
right thing at last.
Some throe months later, when Jack
was returning from business one day,
he was met by his wife, whoso tear
dlmmcd eyes told of something amiss.
"I hnvo sad news," she said with a
great sob "My mother has been tak
en suddenly 111 and Is dead!"
Jack at once set about assuaging his
wife's grief. When she hud suilU lcui
y recovered she Imparled Another bit
of news, by far more Inmorraiil from
bis ioliit of view.
"They tell -me she died wsll off
worth twenty thousand dollars."
"Twenty thousand dollars!" ecles-d
Jack, in amaxoineiit, "Well, Tm
Mossed! Who'd huve thought it? Whj,
I dldtit think she was worth twenty
thousand cents,"
"Nor I," added hi w ife.
"Twenty thousand dollars:" repeat
ed Jack. "Ami you're the only child,
nreut you, Tolly?"
, "Yes."
"Do you know," ho went on, after a
pause, "I don't much like that dm wing
room carpet of ours, do you?"
"It Is faded," said his wife, listlessly,
"Yes, we want a new one ludly, and
a, better. These curtains are not up-to-date,
either. And there's tie-dining-room
set. It look quite shabby. lMi't
you think so?"
"ltather dingy,"
There was a little pause, and then
the lnn-fiil Jack broke out again;
"I was passing St niter's tin other
day and-Hwhat do you think I saw.

"A silver service?" half Hulling In
spite of her grief.
"No; guess again."
"Some bauble for me to weir, I sup
IKne, you crasy old Jack,"
"A lovely dla-mond ln!"
"I said you were demented,"
'ltut It was only one hundred dol
lars, and would suit you admirably."
"I daw say, Jack; but one must
attend a lot of money lu onh-r to dress
up to such a trinket ns that,"
"Well, a pretty silk gowti, and then'
you are, Tolly."
"Yon might also add. King goes au
other hundred for 11 silk diva.".
"Whk-li Isn't a terrible amount. And
how much prettier n pretty womtiu
would look so trigged out, eh?" coax
lugly. "You make mo laugh, Jack; aud you
know I ought not to."
"And you ought not to grieve, either.
Death walls us all-and It should not
lie unwelcome 'to the old. Now don't
you fret itlmut your mother, dear. And
take care that all the funeral arrange
ments are done deecntly and in order,
I would never have It n-sl mi my head
that the ihiir old creature wasn't

The last sentence wasn't Intended
for the ears of bis wife, but Tolly
hoard It, and again she smib-d.
When the funeral was over Ja-k
Hadley found himself one of a very
small company gathered lu' a little

which was a fussy lawyer seated at
a table with two open documents
spread out before him.
"This," said the man of lav, coming
at once to business and holding up one
of the papers, "Is the Inst will and tes

"I hereby give and bequeath to my

NHWSl'ATHIt HESTONMRILITY.
Newspnpcilom, an able New York
tmlillcnUon devoted to newspaper con
corns, has published 11 leader severely
assailing the practice of some news
papers which aim to secure a large cir
culation through means other liinn
merit. It says:
"It Is a wonder that an Inkling of
tho insufficiency of any scheme to In
creaso circulation other than tho
steady dny-by-lay or weckJby-iweek
making a newspaper goSl enough to
attract readers does not oflcner enter
tho acute brains of newspiiiicr man
agers. During tho past four or five
years there have been myriads of
schemes concocted to Induce people to
buy newspapers. Many newspapers
have risen to more or less ui..y
heights of prosperity, and have grad
ually sunk again to the level of their
merits as newspapers."
It then proceeds to weaken tins sen.
slble statement by declaring that "suc
cessfully to boom circulation the needs
and tastes of prospective buyers must
be carefully studied, and then the pa
per must bo a good paper, according
to the Itidgrnent of tho people who (ire
expected to read It, ruther limn ac
cording to the taste of the man who
makes it. The fundamental error of
a, laree nronortlon of editors who do
not attain the degree of success they
desire Is that they endeavor to induce
the people to read that ort of a news-
paier. Now a man wear mo eon
of clothes that suit his awn taste. H
also reads that newspaper that comes
nearest to giving liim the sort of rcad-
lug he wants It Is news tlmtipcoiilo
wnt lu new singers. A full recogni
tion of that fact must veustltute tho
foundation stone of any aud H
schemes to boom circulation."
AH this Is eminently true to far as
It goes, but It Is a very imis-rfWt
statement of tho whole case. The
writer nujy not haw Intended to cre
ate the impresslou that the moral ob
ligation under which the editor reals
Is not A factor to be considered, ntid
that sum- Is the only thing tlsit
should concern him; but there Is dan
ger that such an Infereuce wiM Im
drawn. Tpon tho estimate given by
NowspaMtMom any pHI"'1 might be

pernicious Itillueuce. We know tlutt
there are umuy such tnpci hi this

nmde all the greater by tho excellem-e
of the features which Newspaperdoiu
cortiH-tly assert are essential to the
building up of a large circulation.
That a publisher may aurreudor

If she could give him work If pot, he
was to go to sett Mrs, Dash, n common

"I can't give you employment," snld
Mrs, Itlanlc, "but I will give you tem
