A Story Of Real Life.

Mr.. MaroOney is foreman in a foundry
and gets thirty dollars a week. With
this salary the family ought to get along
well and save money, but they do not.
Mr.. Marooney has a cousin, shoe
maker, who gets only fifteen dollars a
week, yet who sails right along in light
ming express, while Maroonev comes
tagging along in a freight with hot
box
How do you manage it, Jack" he
would frequently ask, ito get along the
way you do? Here you actually keep
your family and save money on fifteen
dollars week, while it takes every
cent [ make to live, and I get double
the pay~
ooh, I don't manage it at ALL" says
Jack, 81 Just take my money home to
the old woman on Saturday night, and
she takes her five dollars to run the
house with and puts the rest carefully
away"
I" Do you give her all the money!"
asks Mr.. Marooney, musing.
Oh, no, not quite, keep out little
for tobacco during the week, and
trif1e to keep me from feeling lonesome.
If | kept il all in my pocket [ would
spend itsure, but Mary keeps it tight
and safe"
Mr.. Marooney talked it over with his
wife that night, and they concluded to
try Jacks plan. The following Saturday
night he brought home his thirty dol
lars, and keeping back one put the rest
in her keeping, and she promised to
do her level best to set the table on but
five.
The first week she squeezed through
somehow, and got along with six and
half. Mr.. Marooney was quite pleased,
and began laying awake at night think
ing about what kind of house he would
build. He thought a plain rustic cot
tage with a bay window would be about
right
The next week her expenses account
only footed up five dollars and eighty
cents, and Marooney changed his de-
sign for a future residence from frame
to brick.
The next week she brought it down
thirty cents more, and he added wing
with a wash-house Then she made
superhuman struggle, quit buying milk,
and came within two shilIings of the
goal for which she had been striving.
Mr.. Marooney decided on an iron fence
in front of his premises.
The next week she lost ground, slip
ped, and came out at the six-dollar post.
Mr.. Marooney thought a neat paling
ence was good enough for anybody,
but when the ensuing week she came
in with flying colors and struck the five
dollar mark in both eyes. Mr. Marooney
had the iron railing re-instated and
granite steps running up to the door.
The next week she took the money
she had saved, went and bought her
love ola hat, too cute for anything, a
black silk dress, and cherub Of
cloak, that made the woman next door
cry with envy till hernose got sore, and
Mr.. Marooney came to the conclusion
that it didn't pay to live in ones own
property, keeping up repairs, insurance
ETC., and the worry and stew in dread
of fire and earthquakes more than
counterbalanced any trifing advantages

And Nellie, completely carried away by
her subject, unclasped her hands, and
continued in as bass voice as she could
assume, ''The dragon belched forth
streams Of fire" And then suddenly
changing to a high, shrill tone, "Rudol-

ADVERSELY.

Altar in the mountain fastness,
Where man foot has never trod,
Where the cloyen feet of wild goats
Have not pressed the virgin sod
There in the silent, messy keep,
In the rocky canon lone and deep.
Are woven the threads of silver CLEAN
That form the mighty rivers stream.
Eastward, in golden gates of morn.
Where sunbeam, ever reigns,
Where the sombre pail of darkness
Days perfection never stains
There come, through pearly gates of dew,
That Angels for their passage drew,
The woven rays of sunshine bright
That give our happy world its light.
Thus the souls of men and nations,
From the unseen sources far,
Pressing onward, ever onward.
Following Freedoms guiding star:
They come from lands OF rising sun,
Where his rays fall when day is done
Drawn to the hope of being free
By that subtitle cord, Adversely.
