TO THE JEDGMINT DAY."
When things went wrong, grandfather
he'd say:
"Well, the world rolls oa to the Jedg
mint Day;
An what should we sigh fer an' why
should we care?
The reckon! n's comin sometime some
where! Bear with the winter, an' dream o' the
May;
The world rolls on to the Jedgmint Day!"
When things went wrong, an we knelt in
dust
To thank the Lord fer the poorest crust.
An' the old-time friends that we thought
we knowed
Had left us friendless along life's road,
It was always nothin' but this to say:
"The world rolls on to the Jedgmint
Dayr
So we stifled the sigh, an' tried fer th'
sons.
Knowln' God made the right, and would
reckon the wrong:
An' trouble seemed lighter, an' even the
nizht
Had stars neTer dreamed of to make it
bright.
We can bear, we can suffer along the
world's way.

T.T. the srlrls declared Marion
rA would be married before any of
the rest But Marion only
laughed and said "nonsense." Was she
not wedded to her art? And did she
not scorn the masculine sex, individ
ually, collectively and in the abstract?
What possible else could a girl with
Ideals, with an object in life, have for
a man? A life of dependence for her.
ter world to be bounded by four
square-walls? Never!
So she went on her way rejoicing,
young, beautiful and heart-whole; re
fused the men who were unfortunate
enough to love her, laughed in their
faces, not that she was cruel by na
ture, but their ardor amused her she
could not understand It.
When June came, and the girls talk
ed over their vacations, she astonished
them all by quietly remarking that she
guessed she would go down to Ray
mond. "What, that pokey old placer ex
claimed Anna. "What in the world
will you do there? Four miles from
nowhere. Why, I wouldn't spend a
week In that tumbled-down old farm
house. And then it's so dismal, that
pine grove is enough to give one the
shudders. Oh, don't go there, Marion,
come with me."
But Marlon remained firm. To Ray
mond she went. The quaint, charming
little town of Raymond, nestling at the
foot of the green hills close to the bor
ders of the beautiful Sebago Lake,
and there she met her fate. It ap
peared suddenly and unexpectedly one
June morning, in the shape of a man,
overalls and a basket of setting hens.
Now If there was one thing more
than another Marion detested it was a
hen, and next to that a farmer and far
above both she abominated overalls.
She always associated them with the
street department
But this glorious summer morning,
as she was wheeling down a steep hill,
taking the narrow path, and keeping
well to the side of the road to avoid the
mud, around a sharp bend she ran
bump into her fate farmer, overalls,
setting hens, basket, wheel and girl,
all scattered and mingled in the dust.
She, woman-like, was the first to re
cover her voice. "Good gracious! I
hope I haven't killed you," she gasped,
as she sat up and wiped a splotch of
mud off her nose.
He picked himself up out of the de
bris, surveyed the wreck about him,
the wheel standing on Its handle bars
In a raspberry bush, the hens squawk
ing and fluttering on the ground, the
girl's sweet, flushed face beside him,
and then he threw his head back and
laughed a deep, ringing laugh, that
floated out on the still morning air,
over the quiet waters of the lake and
took the girl's heart with tt She loved
him from that moment. One swift,
furtive glance into that frank, hand
some face, and the girl knew by an
unerring instinct that he was a gen
tleman. "Killed me. oh no. Just temporarily
floored me, that's all. I hope you are
not hurt."
"I am awfully sorry, really," Marion
began to hide her confusion. "I beg a
thousand pardons."
By this time he had gotten her wheel
right side up, and without another
glance, she mounted it and disappeared
around the bend.
That night at the supper table when
she recounted her adventure she learn
ed who he was. Harold Martin, a
young man who had lately taken the
"Martin place," a beautiful farm two
miles from Raymond. After that she
often met him and the acquaintance
so abruptly begun ripened into friend
ship. It was strange how the enchanting
allurements of art and a life of Inde
pendence faded into oblivion, how
when love and art were weighed in
the balance how much more avoirdu
pois love seemed to have. And life on
a farm with the man you loved wasn't
half bad after all.
So one quiet evening in September.
Just as the sun was setting over Mt.
Washington, turning the silver of the
lake Into flaming red and throwing a
halo of glowing light and color about
them, they stood together on the brow
of the hill, watching the sun set.
"Marion," said Harold, suddenly,
"don't you think you could stand the
farm? I love you with all my heart
and soul, and I'll prove it to you if you
.will only let me."
Maroin's eyes wandered out over the
(littering sunlit waters, out beyond the
dark purple mountains, till they rested
upon a tiny star that gleamed just
where a moment before the sun had
"been.
Art beckoned to her with her white,
shapely hand. Just then a demure
brown biddy, scurrying homeward,
clucking to her belated brood, brushed
against her dress. With a happy little
laugh, Marion stooped down and caught
vp or of the soft down little chicks.
BULL THAT SOLD AT

PRINCE ITO.
Prince Ito, an Aberdeen Angus bull, was sold in the action ring at the Union
stock yards, Chicago, for $9,100. This is the highest price ever paid for such
an animal. The purchaser was B. R. Pierce of Creston, 111. Prince Ito is an
Imported animal. He was bred in Scotland by Sir George Macpherson Grant,
and was imported last season by M. A. Judy of Williamsport, Ind., after winning
the championship cf the Highland Society, at the Royal show of Edinburgh. -
"Oh! I don't know," she- said as she
held it in both hands pressed against
her cheek. "I might."
The last two words were so low Har
old had to stoop down to catch them.
Now she's a farmer's wife, and all
the girls are wondering what Marlon
will do next.
OLD AND YOUNG.
Members of the Senate Classified Ac
cording to Age.
When woman suffrage is thoroughly
established in this country and women
sit in both houses of Congress it may
become necessary to revise some of
the customs that now prevail, and es

it necessary for every Senator and Rep
resentative to furnish an autobiogra

Congressional Directory. The records
in the directory are revelations to

The funny woman per se is a pesti
lence in the land. Carelessly and

she who holds up our weaknesses to
ridicule, reveals our secret ambitions.

Now, as blessed as humor is and as
healthy as laughter is, there are some

The funny woman, in spite of her
brilliant conversational qualities, is
rarely a social success. Unbridled wit

is like any other sort of genius you
must take it as you find it, and it is a
very difficult thing to confine in a

The funny woman . is not usually a

How One Author Advertised.
John Habberton, the author of "Hel
en's Babies," said to his publisher,
when the novel was about ready to ap
pear, "If you want to save the cost of
a great deal of advertising just givejne
500 copies of this book and I'll guar
antee to distribute them so that we'll
have a success without a cent's worth
of advertising beng needed." The pub
lisher, a little reluctantly, took Mr. Hab
berton at his word. The author there
upon made a list of all the important
book stores in the United States, and
learned the name of the head of the de
partment of fiction in each store. Now,
the heads of all book departments are
all fiends in the collection of autograph
first editions that is, with the author's
signature upon the imprint There is
scarcely an exception to this rule. Mr.
Habberton, being wise in all that con
cerns book stores, accordingly sent to
each head a copy of "Helen's Babies"
that contained not only his autograph,
but a pleasant letter also that expa
tiated on the merit of the work. The
heads were delighted. They instructed
their saleswomen and salesmen to
boom "Helen's Babies," to recommend
It to every hesitating customer. And
thus the book succeeded, though it
would have succeeded anyway upon

Emile Zola has created a sensation
in Paris by his criticism of society

that they were not what they pretend

In sections of the country where to

which consists of a light Inclosed in a
metallic hood and provided with a re

set in a slanting position. The lamp is
attached to one edge of the tray con

water, and the angle of the glass in
front of the light causes the insects to
fall into the liquid when they strike

number of these traps set at the sides

injurious moths and other Insects will
exterminate themselves without the
trouble of searching for them.
Age of Giant Trees.
An age as great as five thousand
years has sometimes been ascribed to
the giant trees of California. Prof.
Charles E. Bessey of thej University
of Nebraska regards this estimate as
very much exaggerated. He says that
he once counted with great care the
rings of growth of a tree felled in
1S53. and which ws fully twenty-four
to twenty-five feet in diameter, so that
its stump served as the floor of a danc
ing pavilion. The rings numbered
1,147, and that number would repre

Bessey adds that he gravely doubts
whether any of the existing trees ap
proach the age of two thousand years.
Darwin's' Idleness.
When Darwin in his old age was
bringing out his book on the habits of
plants his health was poor, and an old

his daughter express some anxiety
about her father's condition, sought to
reassure her by saying: "Hi believe

declared, enjoyed the joke more than

QUAINT KOREAN CEREMONY.
Weird Rites of Releasing a Sonl from
the Pangs of Purgatory.
The ceremony in the old South Gate
was held to release a spirit from hell. '
says the author of a delightful paper
on Korea.
In the middle of the dense crowd fill
ing the pavilion was a rectangular
space. At each end stood a man with '
a big fold of loose cloth in his arms.
Beside each of them a woman stood.
Around them ran the folds of the
cloth, which also crossed the rectangle
diagonally. On the folds were Chinese
characters, and in the midst of them.
In the open space, stood the sorceress,
wearing a red shirt with red bands over
her shoulders, and long, loose sleeves
flopping in the air. With her was an
old woman beating big cymbals to
gether. Before them were the widow
and son of the man whose spirit was
by this ceremony to be released from
hell. At one side a woman beat a drum
resembling two hour glasses, and be
hind her were three great tissue paper'
figures suspended in the air and wav
ing wildly. These represented spirits.
The crowd shunned them awesomely.
On the floor before the sorceress was a
little table holding two peeled melons,
one red, one yellow, some wine in a
green bottle and three green apples,
which It was pleasant to thlnk-would
surely give the little devils cholera
morbus. The widow, an ugly, scarred
faced woman, poured out some wine
and prostrated herself before the table
several times. The son, a well-dressed
fellow, did the same, while the sorcer
ess, kneeling down, beat the cymbals
to call the devils to the offering. A na
tive told me that the man had been
dead four years, that the devil had pre
sumptive rights for three years, but
that the deceased could now be got off.
provided, of course, the moutong wom
an was satisfied with her remuneration.
When the performance lasted three
days it would often cost $100. The
pieces of cloth would be burned, the
native said, to make a ladder for the
spirit from hell to heaven. The surplus
folds in the men's arms went to tha
sorceress. Leslie's Magazine.
