Mrs. Browning' might have been expected to "say. some thing like that. Instead of, as a possible Instance, "Gosh! ain't It nice and peaceful, this morning?" if the morning chanced to be one of the peaceful kind. Mrs. Brown ing's poetry does not jingle; It sings. .... , . ,: Which is by way of introducing a statement relative to a peaceful morning at this ranch several days ago. r 1 was feeling very comfortable that morning. X had two bits in my pocket. I had read Mr. Sprague's daily ' contri bution to the general . erudition fund, and also Mr. Putnam's, postponed from, the night previ ous, and had round in tnem Hom ing to disturb the serenity of my mood. I had witnessed the sun rise over Mount Hood, and had thought it compared quite favor ably with isome of the paintings at the state fair last fall. I was idly scanning the earthquake newa Xrom Los Angeles and the tornaddr news from Nashville when a man appeared. Not much is required to dissi pate the illusion of worldy peace Worldy peace is one of. the most jumpy of illusions. . It vanishes in the turning of a doorknob or in the first hoarse syllable of a stranger's voice. This man had stepped in to get my two bits. I was aware of this instantly, although he did not say so. I was aware of it simply be cause it was not reasonable to suppose that he was an exception to the general rule which has pre vailed In certain human circles for two years past. Besides, he did not have the look of an ex ception. He had more the look of a deception. And his line of talk coincided with the look. Nature had not equipped him with any difficulties. of speech- no oral impedimenta; if I know what I mean. He did not give me an opportunity to slip in a word, even edgewise, for quite a while. Evidently he did not wish me to ask him as to his business. When he asked at the conclusion of a flow of words, "Ain't that so?" I replied that it certainly was. When he asked, "Wouldn't you have done. the same in my place?" I replied that I certainly would hare. I have learned that it is some times possible to kill a conversa tton painlessly . by agreeing and keeping silent. Two items of his talk I recall. He said, commenting on the earthquake and tornado news in the paper, that some folks were saying ' they couldn't understand why people lived in regions where such things were of frequent oc curence. "Why not live in such regional" he asked. "When they (meaning the angels, of death, I presume, although I believe it is customary to mention but one Bueh angel) want you," he said, "they 11 come and get you, no matter where you are." Then, abruptly, he switched to the Roosevelt administration and the bank holiday. When he did this he rubbed the whisker-stubble of his chin and thoughtfully looked at the sole of one of his shoes, which had a hole is. it The sum -of his comment was that plutocracy had by its inordinate selfishness killed the hen that SHEFFER 57 consume VERTICAL 1 non-poisonous snake 2 fish 8 effective . 4 celestial body 5 arrives 6 age 7 Nova Scotia (abbr.) 8 inflicts ex treme men- tal pain 9 letter ia Greek al phabet 10 father 11 compara tive vafilz (PL) 16 a wild hot 18 title 20 a short in termediate post I fcanr - Xl bancs 22 dobe oa which we dwell 24 fruit of the oak 25 appendages . 28 school (Pr.) 28 a womam - Boitor ' 83 require . . 34 rebuke 30 cereal ? 88 delay - : 40bodyet t--" water X , 41 closed ear . ,45 beed 46 posed for a -portrait : :4Jr-aeypriaoM fish ' 48 letter ia Greek al. phabet ; 49 a amaO ' vlnlet -- 50 detet-mmed D. H. TALMADGE laid the valuable eggs and was now engaged in the making of-a tremendous effort to obtain an other hen. What he meant to in fer by this I do not quite know. nor do I think he quite knew. And presently, of course, ne came to the purpose of his visit. He related a heart-rending tale of a busted bank somewhere, . in which bank had been his savings of a lifetime. I rammed c hand into my pocket and clutched my two bits. He snuffled and wiped his nose on a ragged coatsleeve. His eyes took on an expression of ineffable sadness. "I came in here," he said, "be cause I saw your name on trie door. My wife's maiden name was Talmadge, and she was a grand woman. Her father was a printer in England. Some of your kin, perhaps. Could I would It be possible for me to borrow 25 cents from you for her sake?" An emotinai silence. After a time and I don't know why I handed him the two bits, and he went away. Later in the day I related the touching little Incident to an ac quaintance, whose name, well say, is Binks, although it isn't Binks stared. "That mnst have been the same man who was in to see me this morning," he said. only be told me his wife's maid en name was Binks." "And you loaned him .two bits?"

She expects to carry on in the old home, where her many friends hope she may regain at least the strength that has carried her cheerfully through many years filled with more or less pain and suffering.
