AT "J ri COUNTY FAIR.
tSettln' In the gran' stand 4
At thivcounty tar,
Beemed as It the whole world
An' all their kin was there.
iWny up on the top seat
Mc an' Jennie set
.Wlsht I had the candy
An' peanuts that we ct!
Jennie's right cood-looklu';
But she likes to boss;
Dared me to bet money
On Jake Douglas' boss.
Like a fool V done It;
Went down to the track.
How d'ye think I found her
S I was climbln' back?
There I met her half way,
With another beau,
Stuck-up, Rllck-halred softy,
That Will Jones, ye know.
Let on not to see me;
Went right on a-past,
S'pose she thought I'd ast her.
Where she's goin' so fast
Worn't no use to.iollcr,
So I let 'cm go,
Funny how things sometimes
All go wrong jes' so.
Lost a pile on Jake's hoss;
Couldn't ring a cane.
Fellow swiped my goldine watch,
Then it poured down rain.
Tell ye 'tain't all sunshine
An' all "pleasures rare"
Scttin' in the gran' stand
At the county fair.

5 THE OLD APPLE TREE
2 WAS dlsappoluted In my friend. We
had nrrauged to spend the day on
the river. I had not met hi in for
years, uot since our Balllol days, until
t saw him again after i-eveu years at
the varsity sports in the early spring.
Then eight or nine of us, all old Balliol
men, dined together, and we had a re
freshing talk over all that had occurred
While I was away iu Canada. Six years
ef it 1 had there, and when I returned
yrs. I had never seen so glorious u
picture, nor ouo that burst upon my
vision so suddenly. She was lu some
thing white and dainty, her hat was
hung on a branch, and the old, gnarled
tree under whose shade she reclined
was covered with apples. Her hair
was tangled and golden and her eyes
full of light and laughter.
For a whllo 1 sat staring at her In
bewilderment. Then I stammered,
"Where am IV"
Her answer was perfectly cnlm, but
It was not chill; no, her voice was so
soft that the simplest words she ut
tered were a melody.
"You are Iu my father's garden." alio
said.
"And I-I ?"
"l"ou are a trespasser
liut she smiled as she said It, a smile
that showed two rows of pearl, spark
ling In the sunlight that dappled her
fuce.
"And you?" I said. I know not what
I said, but soon I asked her uame, and
she told mo It was Eve.
"And this is Paradise," I answered,
looking through the leaves of the old
apple tree at all the beauties of the
garden,
Then we talked. Of what? Of
everything. Of solitude, of friendship,
of books; I fear, of Cauada-aud of
love,
Then she bade me go, and I could
not Nor would I If I could; and when
at length I obeyed her aud was about
to go, she bade me stay.
So I stayed, and soon had moored my
canoe and stood upon her lawu. 1 can
not tell how I of all men modest al
most to bashfuluess could have doue
so, but I did.
Of the tlowers that grew wild there by
the water's edge I made her a crown,
aud this I put upon her tangled golden
hair. She was my queen there and
thenceforth forever; and so I told her.
the poet aiding me.
Two roses that I had not seen before
bloomed on her face, and she rau away,
light-footed and lithe of limb, over the
lawu Into her father's house,
Hut I could uot leave; I could uot
I looked for her, but she did not come.
Once, I saw the curtains of a window
drawn aside aud her face peering out
BT. LOUIS TO HAVE ODD COL
LEGE FOR WORKWOMEN.
Will He Modeled After the Oifurd,
Kimluml, Jimtltutlon-rinco Where
American WorkliiBiiicu Muy Oct
Course of Study ut Home.
Two enthusiastic young Americans
came over here, says a London corre
spondent, and put their time aud mon
ey Into the establishment of a novel lu-
stltutiou that mudo n good many con
servative Kugllshmen smile. The Eng
lish worklngmcu, however, didn't smile
at all, but concluded that the American
Idea wns a good thing, and helped It
along. It grew and grew until there
was no doubt about Its being a big suc
cess, aud now, oddly euough, English
worklngmeu are raising $"0,000 lu shil
lings and pennies to propagate Iu the
United States the Idea that originally
came from there, and Incidentally some
of the English worklngmeu are kicking
bard because their brethren are doing
this thing.
The Idea was to establish a working-
men's college, to which a man might
go or from which he might get courses
of study at home. Thnt sounded rather
dreamy, like some of the ccouoiuic
Ideas of John Ituskln, In whose muuo
the work was taken up. Hut It devel
oped presently thnt It was uot the In-1
And what aro these balls to bo like,
and how Is this monumental scheme to
bo managed? Tho best answer can be
had through some uccouut of tho pe
culiar features of tho Ituskln Hail at
Oxford. It Is housed lu an unpreten
tious, four-story structure that was at
one time the residence of the llfth
Duke of Marlborough, and was after
ward often visited by John Buskin
while a friend of his lived there. It If
lust lievoud beautiful old St. John's
College.
To any one who visits It after revel
ing In all the luxury of the ancient
seats of learning scattered all mound
It. it looks bare Indeed. Hue tables pre
dominate, and not many of the accom
panying chairs have backs. Workrooms
and bedrooms are furnished In the ut
most simplicity. They have to be, for
the total cost of residence, Including
board and lodging. Is &I0 a week, aud
the tuition and tutors' fees are CO cents
a week more.
l'erhaps tho queerest feature of the
whole thing, and a feature that Is to
be preserved In the United States, Is
that every student In the hall Is ex
pected to work two hours n day at
cooking, housecleanlng, etc., ns no ser
vants are kept, and there are no women
about the place. That Is how the cost
of residence Is kept down to such a low
tig ure.
Although housework Is not a part of
the curriculum, the men soon become
experts at It, and there Is a growing
suspicion nt Ituskln Hall that a iur.it
can scrub a floor more effectively mid
more economically than n woman. I

sear oiu iry was me same as ever, VoIl. I stayed-that was all. How I
ftanch and genuine aud generous.
When I met him In Lombard street,
a fortnight before, it was he who had
euggested aud settled the details of our
trip on the river. It was to be on June
35, and we were to have had a loug,
fiealtby, exhilarating day, with plenty
of hard exercise and a long chat about
old times old chums that we were.
The day came and 1 was In river-rig
it the boathouse agreed upon half an
hour earlier thau we had mutually
fixed. But Fry did uot come. The
Jialf hour went, nnd another, and an
other. I know of nothing more Irri
tating than to have to hang about for
another follow to turn up when one Is
alone like that. At last, I got a note
ty his servant. If he had sent a wire,
I should have had his message sooner,
tut old-fashloued courtesies still char
acterize Fry, and he sent his groom
tleven miles with a loug note of expla
nation and apology.
His excuse for uot coming seemed to
mc a Ulmsy one. His wife's father had
fixed a sudden meeting of family trus
tees, aud afterward he had to see his
alster rfn business of consequence re
lating to a trust. However, whether
tt was an excuse or whether It was
a reason, he was not comlug with me
for uur projected river trlji that was
clear; and now that I knew he was uot
to Join me, I was content. It was an
noying, and, as I really loved dear old
Fry, It was a disappointment. But I
trust I am too philosophic to feej any
thing deeply that cannot be helped. I
countermanded the pair skiff aud had
out a single canoe.
In live minutes I wns "on the bosom
of old Father Thames." Tbe hackneyed
voids, as I thought of them, were Iu
themselves a comfort and as I paddled
on I thought how a gay heart wants
no friend. Solitude has charms deeper
than society can afford. Out of my
memory teemed troops of friends, and
they were with me as I willed. They
eame nt my call and vanished as I
wished when thought of another sug
gested. Even Fry himself, with his
Iienrty laugh, his loyal, brotherly spirit,
communed with mc, nnd was dispelled
again ns a more recent chum who had
Irncked many a bear with me in Can
ada haunted my memory.
I was now In a lovely backwater more
Senutlful than the Thames Itself. The
Lanksldc Ilowers were more abundant
had the Impudence to do so I cannot
tell but I could not go.
She was a loug while Indoors. I
heard her at the piano. I knew It was
her touch, though I had never heard
her before, but I was confident It was
she. Besides, now aud then the nlano
stopped suddenly, and 1 saw by the
movement of the window curtains that
she was peeping to see whether I had
gone,
At last I grew ashamed of my lutru
truslou, aud, stooping from uudj-r the
rruit-covereu brandies of tbe old apple
tree, I went to my canoe, unfastened
Its moorings, and was about to with
draw
But, as luck would have It, Just as
I was about to get Into the canoe, she
came out to me across the lawu. Her
gesture to me was that I must go. I
said what I felt, regardless of all or
der, of all propriety. "Eve," I said
passionately, "you do not know me, nor
who I nm, nor I you; but I know this,
that I love you. les, I love you. uml
shall love ypu for ever. Your heart Is
my Eden. Do not shut the gates of
this, my earthly Paradise. I must,
must see you again, and I will. Sav
that I may."
She looked down and blushed
"May Vt" I faltered.
She did not reply. But her silence
was a better answer than words.
When?"
"To-morrow."
She looked so pretty when she said
I'. that 1 was about to dare yet more.
I had the temerity to formulate tuu
Idea tnat I would take her In my arms
ana steal from her lips a kiss when I
hoard n rhout.
"Hullo, old chap. Is that you?'
I looked up.
"What, Fry?" I cried. "Is it Fry?
It Is, by all that's wonderful I"
"I'm awfully sorry, my dear chap,
that I couldn't join you on the river to
day. Abominably uncivil you must
have thought me. But I didn't know
you knew my sister."
He looked at her and he looked nt
me. I think we were both blushing.
Whether It be unmannerly or not, I
confess I was. Aye, 1 was red to the
roots of my hair.
"But you do know each other, don't
you?" he said, for we both looked so
awkward that he seemed to think that
he had made some faux pas.
"Oh, yes!" I said, "we know each
other," and I stole a look at Eve. The

The result was the establishment of
Ituskln Hall at Oxford. A good deal
was said about It at the time, but It
was rather generally looked upon as
a rau, anu tueu forgotten except oy
those who had some personal Interest
In It. But the applications for rest
dence in the hall at Oxford have from
the llrst exceeded the limited ncconi
modatlons, and two more halls have
lately been established In Birmingham,
another at Manchester aud another at
Birkenhead, and others are to be start

students In the correspondence courses
Is already over 1,500, and is Increasing
rapidly.

go to St. Louis to establish a Itusklii

principal. They expect to branch out

What Uicy Study.
If, as really seems possible, this ex
periment Is going to have a marked
effect on the British and American
worklngmnn. It becomes Interesting to
see what It Is thnt they are being
taught. The list of fourteen courses Is
made up of these branches: Sociology,
in which special attention Is given to
the development of modern society and
present social conditions; English con
stitution and political history. In which
stress Is laid on the origin aud develop

industrial history, covering land laws

their conditions; the Industrial revolu
