ALONG THE WAY.
My pith la lost, I lout to light,
My way 1 gone;
Grant me, O God, strength yet to fight
To struggle on.
Although no more I see the light
That guided long.

To hate the wrong!

She laughed again.
"Miss Vlnlngl Oh, It's too

He glanced at her suspiciously once
more.
"Too lovely what's too lovely? I
thought Mis Vlnlng was a great
friend of yours."
"Bo she Is. Don't you think It's
rery nice for me to have a friend like
Mamie Vlnlng such a rich friend
to take me about and be nice to me?"
"I suppose so," be said, without en
tbnslasin. "She's very rich of
course."
"Immensely I Money's nothing to
her. Bhe'a a dear, too a real dear,"
she added, affectionately.
He did not answer. The subject
seemed to embarrass lilra.
"At least," she amended, "she is,

But I must tell you to-night, some

She looked up suddenly.
"You do care don't you, Dick?" aha
aid. 'You do really care?"
"I care more than anything In the
world," be said earnestly.
After all, there was time to break tt
off quietly before."
"Yes, I know you do." she said soft
ly. "That's why I'm going to tell you.
You aee, wa are good friends always,
and one of ua was rich, and one of us
waa poor, and tbe one that was rich
decided to come to England, and take

"Yes?" be said, incompreheusively,
as she paused.
"Well, you know, In books, when
there are two girls like that, they play
a trick At least, they did in
book we were reading Just then."
"What trick?" he said, with grow
ing uneasiness.
"Tbey change places. The rich girl
takes the poor girl's place, and "
His quick movement startled her.
Bbe looked up, but it was too dark to
aee his face clearly.
"What's the mutter, Dick?"
"Nothing," be said, In an odd voice.
"Go on."
"And I aald, 'Oh, do let us do that,'
and aha didn't mind she said It would
be rather fun. Bo we did."
"Did what?" be said, desperately.
"Changed places what a dear old

who marry for money? Well, you
won't marry ma for mine, at any
rate."
There waa a light step behind. They
turned to find the girl who was not
Mamie Vlnlng standing beside them.
Her friend held out her hand to her.
"Oh, Helen, I want to tell you 1
want you to be the first to know." she
aald. "I'm engaged to Dick. Will you
congratulate us. please?"
Helen stood still and looked at them.
There was a great pity In her eyes.
"No," she said, slowly; "I dou't
think I will."
Mamie Vlnlng stared.
"Why not?"
Her friend put an arm around her,
and drew ber away from the man, who
stood motionless under the shadow of
the trees.
"Because Mr. Vance proposed to me
this afternoon," she snld, "and I was
fool enough to to accept hltn. For

needn't mind It It was the money be

"You did that?" she said. "Oh,
Dick you did that? You were play

FEEDER FOR STOCK
One of the disagreeable tasks In re
lation to the care of horses, cows or
other cattle is tbe necessity of arising
early and supplying them with feed.
This Is especially true with milk deal
ers, bakers and many others who are
compelled to get up an hour or two be
fore serving their route In order to
feed their horses. This la also the case
on Sundays with all drivers of teams.
Automatic time stock feeders are not
new to the trades, by any means, but
few are as simple as the one shown
In the Illustration. This Is so con
structed tbot the feed may be auto
matically released at a predetermined
moment by attachment to an alarm
clock and fed Into a trough or manger.
A chute, through which the food Is to
be passed, is shown here, with a
hinged door at right angles to the In
ner wall thereof, the door being con
nected with an arm which projects
through the wall of the chute. This
arm Is fastened to a spring held to a
pin In the outer wall of the chute. A
bracket supports a clock upon the
other side of the chute, the clock hav
ing an alarm attachment. The key
which winds the alarm apparatus Is
connected to e spring pressed bolt which
Is mounted In the wall of the chute

and designed to support the hinged
door when the same Is weighted down
with food. As the clock runs down
the cord withdraws the bolt, and when
the proper time Is reached the door Is
released and the food fulls down to tbe
manger. After the door Is relieved of
Its weight the spring will cause It to
resume Its normal position. This would
also be very useful In large establish
ments. ,

Pearl Buttons Destroyed.
"American destroys annually 17,
500,000 gross of pearl buttons," said
J. F. Robinson of Omaha, Neb., who
Is engaged In the manufacture of that
article of commerce. "There are In
the United States about fifty factories
that turn out dully 1,000 gross of but
tons at least. I should not be sur
prised If the average Is larger than
that but I am sure the figure Is tbe
Inside. What becomes of them Is an
other question. Some people save but
tons with the same iseul that a miser
saves coins, and so the consumption of
17,500,000 a year must arise from the
careless clusses who lose or throw
them away when they come off their
garments. Tbe Industry lg rapidly
growing, and the demand for the prod
uct Is such that all the manufacturers
are kept busy with their orders. It
Is, within the last dozen years that the
Industry of making pearl buttons from
mussel shells has become prominent
among the enterprises of the inland
rivers, but at coast cities tbe process
is an old one. Tbe Increase In the
number of ready-mude garments that
are sold Is partly responsible for the
Increase In the button Industry. When
shirts and other garments are bought
ready made there Is little use to save
the buttons, but In tbe olden days,
when the articles were made at home,
It meant something to save the but
tons from the old clothes." Louisville

RIDE QVER TEXAS PLAINS.
It GiTta On Exhilarating 8na
tion Horseback Trip.
"Did you aver take a ride over the
buffalo clover plains of Texas?" ask
ed a writer la tbe New Orleans Times-
Democrat "I remember on experi
ence that will stay with ma all my
life. It waj In Houston. I was young
and It waa Washington's birthday.
A friend Invited me to rid to his
ranch In the country. Wa started in
the morning. A light spring breeza
waa blowing; red and white roses
dangled from the balconies of the
bouses aa wa rode through the street
After leaving the city wa rode Into
the open. There was a sweet smell
from the earth, and our horses stretch
ed their necks and gave" themselves
up to the pleasure of motion. But
that waa not the best part The re
turn Is what remains particularly In
my memory. We passed the day go
ing over the ranch and looking at the
animals. After eating a dinner of the
finest fried chicken I bad ever tasted
In my life, and loafing for an hour or
two with cigars, wa mounted our
horses for the return home.
"The moon was out full. Aa wa
rode upon the plains, and lost sight of
all houses, I felt aa If I were In an
enchanted land. On all sides was a
vast sea of white moonlight Tbe
grasses made the waves. When we
walked our horses we could bear In
numerable little volcea singing a song
of praise. It was a sacrilege to talk.
Then when our horses became warm
ed up and urged by the additional
Impetus that they were returning to
the stables, we let them have rein.
and went at a swinging gallop over the
prairie. I don't know how my friend
knew which way to go. Ha waa In
the lead, and I followed him blindly.
To ma the motion of the horse, the
moonlight and the sounds of night,
the smell of the earth and the height
of the light-filled heavens constituted
an exhilaration which I had never
felt before nor felt since. The mem
ory of the ride will alwaya remain
with ma aa something distinct beau
tiful and enjoyable."
Compiled with tha Law.
In Chicago are certain boulevards
set apart for tbe use of pleasure ve
hicles only, from which all wheeled
appliances which appear to be used for
toll or profit are strictly excluded. At
tha intersection of two such driveways
one aunny afternoon stood a dapper
little park policeman In a new aprlng
uniform. Ha twirled a slender switch
idly In his white-gloved banda, and
appeared to be making up by aa as
sumption of importance all that he
lacked In alia.
Suddenly, as If he bad bobbed up
out of the ground, appeared a gigantic
laborer trundling a plebeian wheel
barrow. It Was an empty wheelbar
row, to be sure, but a wheelbarrow
none the less, which had been used
many a time In carrying brick and oth
er common things. For a moment tha
park policeman was stiff with horror
at this desecration of tbe boulevard.
Then with lordly tread he stepped out
and tapped tha workman easily with
tha switch, t
"Here, now, my man," ha aald.
"Nona of that yon know. Only pleas
ure vehicles allowed on tha drive.
You'll have to 'go down to tha next
street with that barrow."
The workman hesitated a moment
and then grinned broadly.
"Pleasure vehicles, eh?" he repeated.
"Well, there," and as easily as a oat
would pick up a mouse, he picked up
the policeman and deposited him in tha
barrow, "sit you there, then, my boy,
and we'll have 1 pleasure vehicle all
our own."
Judge's Pupil Proved Too Apt.
A prominent Judge and a young law
yer were taking a holiday Jaunt to
gether, and having a very Jolly time of
It One day the younger man aald to
hla companion:
"Judge, I wish you would tell me
what it is to which you attribute your
very unusual success in tbe law."
"Well," I don't mind doing so, but It
must be on one condition, and that is,
that you agree to pay the rest of my
traveling expenses on this trip."
To an ambitious young fellow of
considerable Inherited fortune that
waa not too much to do, and so he
agreed.
"It Is simply this," said the Judge;
"I always make It my rule to deny
everything and Insist upon proof."
His friend acknowledged the remark
with a simple "thank you," and noth
ing further wag said about the matter.
Tha Judge did not limit himself In
hla wines and other expenses, and waa
running up a pretty bill. When their
stay at that hotel was ended, and they
went to the desk for their accounts,
the Judge received his and passed it
along to the younger man with a twin
kle In bis eye.
"Why, what does this mean?" ha
asked.
"Mean!" anld the Judge; "it simply
meana that you agreed to pay all my
expenses on this trip, and here'a my
bill."
"Judge," said tbe other, "I deny ev
erything and Insist upon proof." Phil

bulky and much-sealed missive.
"Whuf for? What's de maddah wld

"Too heavy." replied tha postmaster,
