"I'm awf.I sorry for Miss Sanders,"
remarked Mrs. Abijah Smith, "even
if she is prouder than sin. I s'pose she
can t help that, though. All the an-
derses was that way. Poverty! and
pride ain't good bedfellows, however.
"i hat s true as the gospel, re
turned Mrs. White, with whom Mrs.
Smith was spending the afternoon.
"Husband was saying , only yesterday
that Miss Sanders must find it pretty
hard hoeing. But she's got so much
oride that she'd die before she'd have
anybody susipect she needed help. It's
too bad she's that way. Folks would be
glad to help her if she'd let them."

alarm, "or she'll treat you. like she did

" Addie White, who had been study
ing her lessons for the next day, over
heard this conversation, and it made a
deep impression upon her. "Poor Miss
Sanders." she sighed pityingly, "I wish
I could help her."
A few days later Addie paid Miss
Sanders a visit.; "Next Friday I shall
be 12 years old, and I'm going to have
a birthday party after school," she told
her eagerly, and I thought it would
be just fine if you would make us somo
of vouf elegant cream candy. Well
need a lot of jit, you know, for your
candy is so good everybody will want
all they can get. Will you make me
some?"
Miss Sanders hesitated and flushed.

The next day Addie, brought a little

and mailed it. A letter which Addie. -I do believe you had more to do with

"Bless her 'dear . heart! exclaimed
the head of Evans & Co., when he had ,
finished reading this ; epistle. " Thar
girl is always thinking of some scheme
to help other people."
A few days later AddIc put in in
appearance before Nliss Sanders, hef
face wreathed in smiles."
"Oh, Miss Sanders, something nice
has happened to you!" she -exclaimed.
"To me! echoed 'Miss Sanders in
amazement. Why, nothing very pleas
ant ever comes my way."
"Well, you just listen and see, re
turned Addie. gayly, drawing a letter
from-. her pocket, "It's all because of
that candy you made for my party.
You know I've got'an uncle at Spring
field? He's just lovely, and df course
I had to send him some of my, birth
day candy. This letter is from him.
He wants to know whether the person
who made that delicious, old-fashioned
cream candy that s just exactly what
he said, interpolated Addie, looking up
from The letter and nodding her head
emphatically, as she saw her listener's
eyes open very wide in astonishment
"would be willing to give him the sale
of it. He says he is sure that W'can
sell a great deal, because there are
many people who 'will pay a good price
for. pure, homemade candy. He d
take 25 pounds to start on to see if it
takes as well as he expects, and he H
pay' 30 cents a pound for-' it, and he
sent the money for it. There now!
concluded Addie, triumphantly, "ain't
that nice?"
Miss Sanders gasped. The tears came
to her eyes, but her heart bounded
with thankfulness. "Mercy on me! I
never heard of such a thing!" she in
credulously exclaimed.' "Don't folks in
the city know how to make cream can
dy?" . .
"I s'pose they do," answered Addie,
"but not as good as yours. Nobody
can make it like you, everybody says
so. You'll make the candy for uncle,
won't you?"
"Why, yes, especially as he's paid
for it already.) at a good price, too," re
turned 'Miss Sanders. "But does your
mother know anything about this?" she
asked . abruptly,
; "Why, no.1 She was over to Miss
Smith's when father brought me ithe
letter., and I ran right over here the
minute I read it." answered Addie a
trifle uneasily. The old lady looked
much relieved at her reply. "I - thought
perhaps it was your mother's doings,
and I, couldn't be "beholden." she said
apologetically. "I'll start on the candy
the first thing in the morning.
"And I'll come in and help you after
school. I want to see how you'll get
along." '
"Thank you, dearie. I hope I'll have
good luck. I'm not used to making so
much at one time."
Early . next morning 'Miss Sanders
went to work on the candy. She watch
ed her kettle anxiously, but luck fa
vored her. Everything turned out just
as it should, though all her pots and
pans were pressed into service.
Addie. when she called after school,
found Miss Sanders flushed but happy
over her "beautk'Ul luck." Of course
Addie tasted the candv, and pronounced
Then

she set to work, under Miss Sanders
labored like a Trojan, and she was
thoroughly tired out.
"I'll just be on needles and pins till
I find out how the candy suits, and if
your uncle will want any more," she
remarked anxiously. -But even Addie
would be kept busy supplying the de
mand. Few Goshen people had any idea
how far along on the road to the poor
house Miss Sanders really was.
After the cooking utensils had been
washed and the kitchen tidied. Addie
went home with a light ' heart, and
wrote her uncle a letter which that
gentleman cherished as a treasure.
"Another letter from Uncle Albert!"
announced-Addie, rushing in upon
Miss' Sanders about two weeks later.
"Good news in it. too."

MANY KINDS OF OLIVES
Tby Are Imported in Casks Chiefly
From - Spain and Bottled Here.' 1
"Most iof the olive eaten in this coun
try come from a territory about a hun
dred miles in diameter, around the city
of SevilJe, in Spain: They are1 imported
in casks of 160 gallons eachl the im
portations, varying with the rop, rang-
ing irom 3.000 10 u.uou css
and averaging -about 4.000 jbasks. ji
Olives are Sorted in Spain according
to sizes; and each big cask is filled-with
olives of approximately the same size
There are twelve trade sires. Formerly
the several sizes were described by
names;; now they are more commonly
known In the trade by numericatdesig
nations, the name indicating the num
ber of olives to the kilogramme. Thus,
75's means olives that "will count from
7c to 8c to the kilogramme.'
The olives are -imported in , brine.
Formerly many olives were imported
already -put op "in bottle, bot "almost
all the olives sold in this country are
now packed here. The work is done
chiefly by women and girls. There are
ingenious machines for pitting olives
that are put sup pitted, but no machine
has-yet been- invented for putting the
olives , into the bottles with the sym
metrical arrangements in which they
are now so commonly seen. This work,
the building of the wail of olives around
the inside of the bottle, where it may
be, seen through the glass, is all done
by hand, the filler placing each olive
in the bottle separately with . ttmgs
made for the purpose, every olive and
row being arranged with care! and pre
cision, so that the effect of the whole
is attractive and pleasing. This is slow
work for beginners, but experts come
to fill bottles very rapidly, and per
fectly as well, and with such deftness
of touch on the tongs as not to bruise
or mar the olives jn the handling. The
interior space having been packed to
its capacity, the bottle is filled with a
specially prepared brine, to be then
corked, capped' and labelled, the bot
tles being, then packed in cases.
1 Olives are put up in a great variety
of packages; a single packet in New
York uses bottles' in a hundred differ
ent sizes and styles. Olives are put, up
in better shape in this ccntry than any
where else. The glass - used in making
the American lottles is better, to start
with, and the bottles are more perfect
h form, the olives are more handsome
ly packed in the bottles, and the bot
tles are better labelled; the whole pack
age, in fact, is better and more sightly
in appearnce.
Olives are packed nowadays in this
country in other cities than New York,
but the chief importations come ' tp
this port, and more olives .are packed
here than at any other point. From this
city olives are distributed all over ihe
country, and carload lots' of olives,
either in bulk or in glass, are not un
common shipments.

WHAT
TWO WOMEH SAV.
Two New YoTk women stood in front of
a Broadway window; watching a Persian
weaver "laboriously weaving upon a frame,
the patteri of a beafutiful rug. Slowly,
almost imperceptibly thread by thrend th
pattern grew beneath' his hand, until what
had seemed a meaningless crossing of dull
thread gradually took on form and beauty.
Suddenly one of the two women began to
repeat the. lines:
Weaving, weaving threads of faith ,
Pattern of a woman's heart.
Who tan ere anticipate
The hues of life in every part t
Will the colors warm 1 v glow
All traced in love and happiness ;
Or will they lade in somber woe ?
A woman's future who can guess ? -
There U infinite pathos in the way that
women ponder over and try to trace out
the purpose and meaning of their Uvea.
T young and happy women it seems a if
destiny was weaving their future in all the
colors of the rainbow like a merry dance
of cupids weaving garlands about a May
p61e in the spring-time j of IWe. But to
thousands of women life looks to be -all
' a warp of sorrow in a woof of pain."
WHAT UFE REALLY Iv
jA woman's life pattern is .really woven

' iLife is neither pain, nor pleasure ; it is
serious business." If a woman would make
itiher serious business to understand her

using the commoni sense that God has
given her, there would be far less misery
aid suffering woven into the pattern of her
life. She can make it almost anything she
chooses.
