ALONE ONCE MORE.
The Lonely House 'on the Farm Where
Desolation Reisns Supreme.

The Lonely House 'on the Farm Where
Desolation Reisns Supreme.
The old people had talked it over for
long time. After the boys went to
the city to grow up with the noisy place,
they had Mary left to make the old
home bright and joyous. Then the
young minister came; when he went
away to answer call from Iowa he
took Mary with him. Then the old
folks were all alone. A lonely house on
the farm where visitors are few and
visits far between is indeed place
of desolation. The old gentleman made
confdants of the COWS and horses, and
they turned their great big soft eyes
toward him as he told them all about
his troubles. And the old lady, she
told her troubles to the house-dog and
the chickens. BY the lamp-light, across
the table and upon the porch at twi
light they talked about it. They were
lonesome and wanted company. They
wanted little feet to trample up and
down the old stairs and to and fro
across the bare, painted floors. Silver
fecked the two old heads and wrinkles
scanned the cheeks; but the old, old
hearts wanted the music of fresh
young voice to echo through the rooms
whose walls had encompassed no young
face for years and years.
And so little Tot was brought home
from the orphan asylum.
They laid a little tin plate for her and
told her to eat. But Tot couldn't eat.
They tucked her up in pretty white
bed and told her to sleep. But Tot
couldn't sleep. All night long she lay
awake with her great blue eyes wide
open watching the moonlight sitting
through the curtains and painting
wavering. sitting pictures against the
wall back of the bed. In the morning
Tots eyes were heavy and red. She
had not slept wink all night long.
The two old people showered their
wealth of love upon the little orphan
and told her to play and be happy. But
Tot didn't play; and Tot WASH happy.
Day after day her face grew more and
more thin and white. Her little limbs
were scarcely strong enough to drag
her small body about. After a few
more weeks had passed they buried
Tot under the apple tree in the garden
and cried over her grave as though she
was of their own flesh and blood, and
the old folks are alone once MORE

An Odd German Tax.

1t is well known that at every Ger
man watering-ploce the visitor, in adj
ditioh to being required to pay literally
for his necessities and luxuries, is sub
jected to "cure tax" which varies
according to locality, but is in no case
inconsiderabie. The Berlin BorSen-
Courier for the first time raises the ques-
ton whether there exists any legal
warrant for eXaction of this "cure
tax, and suggests that it might be
well for some courageous foreigner to
refuse to pay it, and submit the mat
ter toa legal test. Or, since this is
the time of strikes, says the BorSen-
Courier, why should not all the guests
at some popular watering place organ
ize and strike against the ''cure tax?"
