•HEN PEGGY GOES TO MARKET
When Peggy takes her basket up
And off to market goes,
Tm stupefied with wonder at
IIow very much she knows.
She makes her way between the stalls
And with judicial air
Decides that this is “so and so*'
And that is "pretty fair.”
BTie knows if fish are fresh or not,
And, wise as any owl,
Bbe differentiates between
A chicken and a fowl.
She thumbs the breastbone of the one
And pulls the other’s legs;
She squints her pretty little eyes
Ts test the new-laid eggs.
The veg’tables must be just right.
For with a critic’s eye
She scans them, not inclined to pass
Their imperfections by.
Bhe calls the market folks by name;
Ah, what a lot she knows,
When Peggy takes lier basket up
And off to market goes!
Peggy does the marketing

HE Widow Carney came out of
her two-room shanty beyond the
dump. She stood erect In the
spring sunshine, looking over a
work of railroad tracks, across to the
swftchouse where Kathleen had taken
Fergus O'Hare’s dinner. Nellie Carney
was still little more than a girl, Her
face was arch and sweet, her eyes
bright, her hair black and curly, The
wind blew her calico dress away from
Her fine figure.
“And you say that she’s a widow.”
John Conover remarked to Fergus.
“Not long I venture.”
“Three year,” said Fergus, panting a
little. “Not for any fault of tlie b'ys.
She’s a little uppish. Is Nellie Carney.

That Is how John Conover met Nelly
Carney. He was getting ready to go
to the mines. He had Just come from
the Eastern Slates and had a claim up
about Toby’s creek that Ills brother had
left him when he died the year before.
He did not say much about himself to
anyone. He took Ills meals witli the
widow Carney for a week or so, ami
bunked In with Fergus O’Hare. He
■aid he was getting his outfit, Nellie
Carney did Nome sewing for him, and
they sat togetiter evenings, while Kath-
bs'ii slept beside them.
One of these evenings John Conover
seemed to be very thoughtful. At last
be took a sudden resolution.
“Nelly,” he began, gently, " I'm going
up to n rough place. Imt I've got a no-
lion to take you along.”
“It takes two to make a bargain.
Mr. Conover."
“Not this bargain. I know
dear. I’m only wondering If
you. Jim always stuck to It t
claim was bound to pan out. If It does,
you ami Katl'leen will be fixed for life.
If It don’t you might have n tough
time. Shall we go down to the 'squire
to morrow’, Nell?”
Nelly took a night’s sleep on It, and
1u the morning consented to go up
country with John Conover. They
were married one day, and set out the
next, taking tlie little child witli them.
It seemed a slmme to John Conover
thnt lie had brought such a pretty crea
ture to live In such a wild and lone
some spot. She was happy enough, ap
parently the same Nelly that he had
seen on the dump that spring day. The
more he loved her the more he brooded
over her sacrifice of n home and friends
among civilized people. He worked
hard, and the n«xt summer made a
good find In a hole and sent her back to

Day after day Mrs. Conover went

visited her child, and enjoyed exist-

letters with a positive alarm. Suppose
he should send for her to return, She
conld close her eyes and see the great,
dark, snow topped mountain wall, the
rough cabin close under the shadow,
the brawling waters of the mountain
torrent. In dreams she heard the
thrumming voice of the wind among
the pine boughs, the scream of the wild
eagles that was all. She missed John
■ t first with all the passion of her Im
pulsive nature; but. as time went on.
the longing grew less tierce, and she
felt she would rather never return than
to go now when life was so full of
gaiety ami novelty.
One day Fergus O’Hare came to see
her. The colored servant told her with
a grin that the visitor would not write
his name on a card, maybe couldn't.
Neily flushed, for she knew It was but
■ little time since she had been Ignor

would see lilm In her own parlor, and
tlie amused Iwllboy showed up the
switchman. He looked rougher and
more grimy than ever.
"How do you do. Fergus?" she said,
with a little condescension.
Fergus had stopped In the middle of
the little parlor.
“Nelly Conover! Ol can't belave It's
the same.” he said.
“It la,” »he laughed: then In her

POTTER PALMER, OF CHICAGO.
He Is Milch More than the Husband
of a Famous Woman.
The newspaper reading world knows
much about Mrs. Potter Palmer, of
Chicago. She sprang before the public
eye as the president of the Woman's
Board of Manage, s of the World's Fair.
More recently, her successful manage

niece, has kept alive the public interest

Is a great business man, one of the real
makers of Chicago and a power in the
financial world—one of those silent
forces, which contribute so much to
the world’s progress.
Potter Palmer was a young man
when he located in Chicago fifty years
ago. He invested a few thousand dol
lars in a dry goods store and soon had
the cream of the city trade. His sur
plus cash went into real estate and the
soil was fertile. He was a wealthy
man when, at the close of the war. he
took into partnership with him Mar-
shall Field and Levi Leiter, State
street, now Chicago's leading thor-
oughfare, was then a narrow, dirty
lane. Lake street was the commercial
center. Potter Palmer proposed to
make State street the commercial cen
ter. Men ridiculed him, but he went
over to the despised street, bought a
mile of frontage and commenced build
ing commercial palaces. Ills firm oc
cupied the first and other firms quick
ly took others. When the fire of 1871
came. Potter Palmer owned thirty-two
buildings on State street. All were de
stroyed. He borrowed $3.000,000 and
rebuilt them, better and stronger than
before. Then he looked about for a
spot where he might build a home.

sold adjoining property to the best
class of people. The boulevard is the
result. Then he built the Palmer
