JOHN tic YLE,
MATCHMAKER
HEN I-oulse Doyle entered
tbe offices of Detoncey A
Griffin, architect». In tbe
humble capacity of copy
lot, tbe soul of her father rose tn an
gry retielllou.
Two year» previous John Doyle had
retired from tbe grocery business with
■ tidy Income, a substantial brick real-
dence and chronic rheumatism. When
ever tbe malady loosened Its grip
Doyle wandered back to tbe acenea of
bls commercial achievements. His suc
cessor always gave him cordial wel
come, and a comfortable chair back of
tbe cashier’» booth was at bls dis
posal. When too lame to walk as far
as tlte store, lie consoled himself by
playing Innumerable games of pe-
uuchle In tbe rear of Blmpsou’a cigar
store. Just across the street.
It was from a disastrous defeat at
peuucble that be came home to bear
that Ixiulse was "going to business."
Tbe moment was Inauspicious.
"1 never heard tell of such tom fool
ish ness! My girl going to chase down
town six days in tbe week, like tbe
daughters of that no account Tom
Saunders? People 'll be questioning
tny credit next And she won’t make
enough to puy for the new feathers
and filings she'll want, to say nothing
of tbe shoe leather she'll wear out
traipsing back and forth In all kinds
of weather!”
Mrs. Doyle, who, In spite of the fact
tbal she never Joined a mother's club
nor studied household economics, bad
succeeded in making John Doyle com
fortable and content, calmly set a gus
set In her husband's new shirt as sbe
replied:
"I don't know about that, John. 1
think that if more girls knew how
bard It Is to earn money and to make
a success In business we’d have fewer
skinless and grumbling wives.”
Mr. Doyle groaned at bls wife’s de
sertlon to tbe enemy.
"And as for her wasting her money.
I don't believe Louise 'll do anything
of the sort. She’s got too much of her
father's blood In her. Besides, she’s
going to pay her board—says It’s only
right, seeing that she won’t be home
to help me with the work.”
Mr. Doyle fairly gasped In bls fury.
"Pay her bourd! Minerva Doyle, have
you gone daft? Or are you turning
miser like your Uncle Sam? My daugh
ter shan’t pay her board so long's I'm
here to prevent It.”
But Louise bad her way. Every Sat
urday night she paid her board, and
every Monday morning Mr. Doyle car
rled tbe money straight to tbe savings
bank aud deposited It to tbe credit of
Louise Doyle.
Three years rolled round, and Louise
failed to fulfill any of the dire predie
tlons set forth by her pareut. Sbe did
not take pneuuioula from facing keeu
northwesters, she did not catch small
pox from rldlug in illy ventilated cars,
aud sbe refused to elope with tbe
junior partner.
But site bad risen
steadily Ic tbe estimation of her em
ployers until, when George Shaw came
to Mie city, sbe was confidential secre
tary to tbe senior partner of Delancey
A Griffin
In bls secret heart John Doyle was
wonderfully proud of this self pos
sessed. capable young woman, and
when young Shaw from up state, vlg
orous. well set up and well poised, ap
peared on tbe scene Mr. Doyle groaned
afresh. •
"If Louise hadn’t that business bee
in her bonnet, there’s tbe man I'd pick
out for her husband. Why on earth
any sensible girl would rather take
dictation from a snarllug. baldbeaded
old crank downtown than Io make a
nice home for a fellow like George
Sliww I dou't see."
But a* a matter of fact Mr. De
laucey was neither bald nor III tem
pered. and George Shaw had come to
tbe city with but ones well defined am
bltlon—to gain a business foothold.
John Doyle's successor In tbe grocery
trade being second cousin to George
Shaw's mother, be bad taken tbe first
thing at band, a position ss clerk In
the store where Doyle bad once ruled
with Iron hand.
Perhaps the happiness of I.oulse was
not tbe ouly thing at stake In Doyle's
mind, lie might have cherished a se
cret longing to maintain even a dis
taut family connection with tbe scene
of bls commercial success
At any
rate, Mr. Shaw was In due time in
vited to call, and Mr. Doyle fairly
bugged himself when be saw the ad
miration In tbe young man's eyes on
meeting Louise.
But for six months matters pro
greased no further. Mr Shaw called
at Irregular Intervals and was cour
teously received by Louise—In tbe
presence of her parents.
From bls poiut of vantage behind
tbe cashier’s booth Mr. Doyle studied
the young man whom be coveted as a
son-ln law and decided that an occa
atonal cigar could be offered bls Idol
with Impunity.
In tbe meantime
George Shaw was studying ibe inner
talntfes of customers and markets to
the profound satisfaction of bls moth

A week after tbe Bernhardt episode

Mrs. Doyle smiled. , -
"That'» nice.”
Louise likewise smiled placidly and
passed ber plate for another chop.
John Doyle boiled Inwardly.
"Don't care a rap! This comes of
letting ber work among a lot of coun
ter jumpers and upstart young bro
kers. Sbe don't know a real man when
ahe sees one."
The next night Louise dined with
two young women wbo lived In true
bohemian fashion In two rooms with a
bath. Sbe came home animated and
gossipy.
“Oh, mother,” she exclaimed as sbe
folded ber new veil with thrifty care,
"It's tbe dearest little den! Tbe parlor
couches are tbelr beds at nlgbt, and
inside there's a place for tbelr gowns.
And such a cute dinner, with a fern In
the middle of the table, and everything
so easy to get—canned soup, fried
chicken and salad, and things from tbe
delicatessen store, and rolls heated In
tbe gas oven, and charlotte russe, with
the queerest black coffee and preserved
sweets from India to finish off. No
two dishes alike and each one with a
history!”
Mrs. Doyle patted the two slender
hands that stole round ber neck.
"We bad a good dinner, too, dearie-
roily poly pudding with strawberry
jam.”
“Not strawberry jam,” sighed Louise.
"Naughty mother, not to wait till a
night when I was home. I’ve been
thinking that when Mr. Shaw came
Sunday we might have something out
of the ordinary, just to celebrate the
occasion.” This with a sly look at ber
father.
"To be sure," responded Mrs. Doyle
heartily. "Tbe poor fellow has boarded

he'll eujoy some good home cooklug.
We'll have a line roast of beef, with
both kinds of potatoes, celery and veg
etables, and I’ll make some extra thick

Louise tapped tbe table thoughtfully.

Th. Color of Water,
Tbe color of surface water depends
both on tbe character of the neighbor
ing vegetation and on the time that the

few trees, will generally be below
twenty units in color; steep wooded
or cultivated slopes give twenty to fifty
uults; similar, but gentler slopes,
from 5 to 100. and swampy areas,
100 to 500, or even higher. Highly
colored waters are more eommon in
tbe northern states than In tbe south.
Colored water Is gradually bleached by
sunlight, tbe actiou taking place chief
ly within one foot of tbe surface. Tbe
study of color in water is of commer

object to drinking brownish water.
Hence. In a town water supply tbe
color must either be removed or its

Of such delights as these both Chief

Save the Baby.
The mortality among babies during the
three teething years Is something frightful.
The census of 1900 shows that about one In
every seven succumbs.
The cause
is
apparent.
With
baby’s
bones hardening, the fontanel (opening in the
skull) closing up and its teeth forming, all
these coming at once create a demand for
bone material that nearly haJf the little
systems are deficient in.
The result is
peevishness, weakness, sweating, fever, diar
rhoea, brain troubles, convulsions, etc., that
prove terribly fatal. The deaths in 1900 under
three years were 304,988, to say nothing of
the vast number outside the big cities that
were not reported, and this in the Unital
States alone.
When baby begins to sweat, worry or cry
out in sleep don’t wait, and the need Ik
neither medicine nor narcotics.
What the
little system is crying out for is more bone
material. Sweetman’s Teething Food sup
plies It. It has saved the lives of thousands
of babies.
They begin to improve within
forty-eight hours.
Here la what physicians
think of It.

San Francisco, June 2, 19U2.
Gentlemen—1 am prescribing your food In
the multitude of baby troubles due to Im
peded dentition. A large percentage of In
fantile ills and fatalities are the result of
slow teething. Your food supplies what the
deficient system demands, and I have had
surprising success with :t. In scores of cases
this diet, given with their regular foad, has
not failed to check the infantile distresses.
Several of the more serious cases would, 1
feel sure, have been fatal without It. It can
not be too quickly brought to the attention
of the mothers of the country. It is an ab
solute necessity.

Earthworms are not soil formers,
for they are seldom met with in soils
that are destitute of organic matter.
They are simply renovators. Every

It fertilizes the subsoil by opening up
passages, which encourage tbe roots of
plants to penetrate deeper, these pas

Darwin found that these worm casts
amount annually to eighteen tons an
acre and on good arable land to about

Ivory aa Medleiae.
Ivory was used as a medicine up to
the end of the eighteenth century.
In Schroder’s “Zoology,” 1659, trans

thus described under the beading,
“Elephas:” "Hto teeth are only used
in medicine, vulgarly called Ivory. The
