allowed to say whose name should be chosen.
Everybody is glad the matter is ended, and
no i'll feeling exists in any quarter. Bynum
says Jones is q good man, and that he will
make splendid officer. He preferred Creel-

tertains no bad feeling, and will remain here
three to four days before going home. during
which time he will do what he can for some
of his constituents who want offices.
Representative Matson expresses much
pleasure over Jones' appointment, and says
Jones is his personal friend, and is worthy

dutiful sons and daughters. Some who
are self made men and women may think
they do not owe the parent anything for
kindness and care and love. Self.made
men and women are sadly mistaken
when they think that. 1t is only that they
fail to see through the glamour of conceit
and pride the great good father and
mother have been to them. 1t is not an
ignoble thing to honor a father or
mother in your days of prosperity and
success. To love them as they love you;
to care for them as they cared for you is
kindness of the nobest type. The great
King of all has written down in ;mper-
ishablc letters the law of domestic COM

the parts of loyal and dutiful subjects
when we obey that law explicitly. And
there is no reason, which we can see, why
every boy and girl in the land should not
be proud to stand by this beautiful
edict, to lend portion of their lives in
carefully nursing, watching, and loving
the gray-haired heads and tottering

Tom Raymond was poor proof

night he carried his little basket of
lunch to dingy, stuGy, cobwebby, to-
baccocy Office in big newspaper es-
ta6lishment, and through the long
hours when ordinary people are sleep
ing the sweet sleep Of health and hap
plncss he WAS correcting sheets of
proof an@ labUring patiently with stub
born and angry printers. And when,
in the small hours of the morning. the
light Of the moon or the stars, or the
sombre gloom Of the night, was trying
to push its way through the cracks of
blinds or curtains, he might be seen
plodding YEARLY or patiently home
ward, carrying his empty basket on
his arm. vt some Of these times he
might be seen to wear happy smile,
when one would reasonably expect him
to look cross. He was going home to
his little wife and that was why he
looked SO happy. Home to Tom was
few pretty, coy rooms in a big,
noisy block. But it was a great deal
more home than many of the big pal
aces On Fifth avenue or Euclid. for
Love was the reigning goddess of its
hearthstone. Tom had a dear little
wife whom he cherished as the apple
Of his eye, for his was kind, tender
soul, that must cherish every frail and
gentle creature, and especially the
little woman who was all the world to
him.
And this little woman, whom we
will call Ruth, looked up to Tom as
the embodiment Of perfection. Tom
was a handsome fellow, and in her
eyes he was the handsomest fellow in
the whole world He was also the
smartest, and, above all, the very best,
without single exception. So every
thing she did was for Tom.
She conjured up the most delicious
dinners for him while he was sleeping
in the little bedroom. And then,
when everything was ready and the
potatoes were doing their last boiling,
she would steal on tiptoc into the bed
room, and putting two soft little hands
up to his cheeks would wake him with
the sweetest kisses imaginable. Then
he would draw her down into his arms
and almost smother her with his big,
warm caresses. Then she would tell
him, in her pretty way, all that had
happened since he went to bed in the
early morning how the gas man had
been to measure the gas; how two
sewing machine agents had bothered
her SO her dish-water had grown cold
how the meat mans funny little boy
had brought up just the incest, juiciest
roast, and how that roast was done
beautifully, etc. And then he would
tease her about her work or anything
he could think of, and they would fall
to laughing and teasing each other till,
actually, sometimes the family across
the hall would hear them and feel hurt
that they should always seem to be
having such good time, "when he
doesn't get as much salary as l do"
the man would say. And sometimes
peculiar odor of burnt potatoes would
come sailing into the room, and the
little woman would rush out to the
kitchen to find the potatoes burnt on
to the kettle. But such little mishaps
would only enhance the delights of
the dinner.
