HOW THE APPLEBY'S WENT TO

"You never heard how we went to
the May Festival? | thought every one
knew that

When she assured herself we were all
listening, she smiled, tapped her foot
on the floor and rubbed one plump hand
over the other gently. There was an
air of repose about Mrs. Appleby that

there are women and men, too-whom
the busy world slips past. They do not
fret themselves needlessly over the
great problems of life, are always COM

lime ignorance of the fact that some
body else has carried their burden.
There is always an air of repose about
these people restful to behold-when il
does not exasperate one. But nobody
was ever exasperated outwardly by
anything Mrs. Appleby said. The
swan-like serenity with which she
glided through life disarmed resent
ment. Besides, all the world seemed
to recognize the fact that all efforts tC
convince Mrs. Appleby that she was in
any manner derelict would prove futile,
while something in her sunny DISPOSE
ton warned people how they invited s
fall of tears.
"Why, you see, it was bad time, to
be sure. 1t didn't suit Mr.. Appleby a
all, and there were SO many things

they have May Musical Festivals later

SO much more time to attend them
and they would make more money, Tn

it was in spring or winter, it was al

Painfully Embarrassed.

A stranger who got into the Union
Depot yards yesterday, while trying to
find the railroad ferry slip, would have
been run down by one of the numerous
switch locomotives had not a man at
work in the flour sheds seized him and
pulled him off the track. The stranger
was greatly confused and shaken up
for a moment, but after he had taken
seat on the platform and got his
breath he called out:
..My man, that was nobly done. l
expect you can make use of $1,000 in
cash."
..Well, perhaps"
The stranger breathed heavily,
rubbed his arm, and after minute con-
tinued:
"Yes. feel just like making you a
present of thousand dollars"
This was Il painful reduction from
his first observation, but it wasn't for
the fiour-rolier to find fault. He
brushed away at the strangers hat to
get the dust off. and as he handed it
over he was informed:
81 think you would know where to
put 500 if you had it. eh?"
II want nothing, sir. You were in
danger, and pulled you away"
.sBut l shall insist upon your accept
ing something. You certainly saved
nv life, and l shouldn't begrudge twen-
ty-Iive dollars.
He got out his wallet. which was
crowded full of bills. and as he handled
them over he remarked:
.sTen dollars would buy your wife a
dress. and every time she wore it you
could think of me-
..Yes SIR"
The bill came out but was quickly re.
placed, and after a minute spent in
some mental calculation the stranger
all at once handed out two-dollal
bill with the observation:
Here, nv man, go and get You 8
new hat, and rest assured shall ever
be grateful to YOU"
| Then it was seen that the laborer was
painfully embarrassed. He shifted from
one lem to the other, looked up and
down the shed, and when asked the
trouble he replied:

And help i'm the hour of strife.
Whenever there's something that should be

Don't be faint-hearted and say:

There's many failure for those who win;
But though at first they fail.
They try agIin. and the earnest heart

You can win the heights, / say,

For where there's a will there's way.
The men who stand at the top are those
Who never could bear defeat:
