HIS SUMMER GIRL.
She was None Other than His Fair Young
Brides Grandmother.


Brides Grandmother.
Atlantic City Corr. Philadelphia Press
Six or seven of us sat on the hotel
veranda near the main doorway idly
watching the morning strollers on the
broad walk and the shouting bathers in
the sun-gilded waters beyond. Some
one of us said: "Who is the pretty lit
tie girl amusing herself with that child
plaything?"
The pretty little girl was at the sunny
corner of the piazza. She looked II;
was petite, almost fragile, with an ex-
eyes, blonde hair, fine as spray, obtru
ding from the edges of pale pink tulle
hat; white dress and white pink
trimmed cashmere jacket. The childs
plaything with which she was amusing
herself was one of these racket-and-
rubber ball contriVanceS that are pos
sessed by nine children out of ten down
here. | had seen her borrow it from
tot aged seven five minutes before.
''Oh, that's Brookson's wife" ans
wered some one else.
That mere bud wife! You wouldn't
have thought SO, really.
The talk went on. By and by an
elderly-looking man of the world, with
hair beginning to silver, and with mill
tary moustaches, came out of the door
way, looked around, smiled when he
saw Brookson's wife, and walked over
down to the beach. He was in outing
fannels and he smoked a cigar.
"Brookson's wife's father?" queried
two at once.
"No, - Brookson HIMSELF
He looked 45 and was probably so.
''They are the happlest pair on earth
up to date added the general infor-
mant.
That is the last chapter of this little
true story.
One night, summer before last, Brook
son, then a bachelor, sat on that same
veranda and thoughtfully watched
several of the young people enjoying
themselves with idle chit-chat. One
maiden struck his fancy. 1t was his now
child-wife.
He made the acquaintance of that
girl the next day, and found in two
weeks that if he had thrown away the
wisdom that appertains to late years he
had gained some happiness.
He was rs, she only is. People said
was older than her papa, he was richer
too. So they waited year and a half
and then they were married
Her mama, who had died in 1885,
had been married at II. So had her
grandmama, who still lives and who
was abroad at the time of these occur
rences. Her grandnama returned
from Europe last week and took the
train Immediately for Atlantic City.
This scene occurred in the hotel par
lor.
"Grandmama, this is my husband"
Grandmama, all smiles-for she
had heard good accounts of Brookson
held out her hand, and her eye met
his.
''What Jack I" she said.
"Alice-you !"
His summer girl of years and years
ago.
Grandmama diden't look her 81 any
more than he looked his So But she
feels at least 45. while he doesn't feel a
day over 20, as he told her later.
There was "a pleasant little supper that
night. When Brookson squeezed the
the hand of Brookson's wife under the
table and they exchanged smiles,
Grandmama leaned over toward
Brooksons intimate friend and whis-
pered softly: My sweet girl doesn't
imagine how near he came to being her
grandpapa."

hebrew, TsraeIite and jew.

Our broad national distinction gave us
our name 1sraeite in the time of our
ancient greatness, greatness to which
our people may at some time in the
long future rise, and then we may
again-with all Godfearing people
adopt the name of Israelite. Before
our ancestors were-in national sense
--Israelites, they were Hebrews
name which was, and is to-day, a race
distinction. The name Jew is narrow
name in use for our separate religious
distinction. Nothing could be palmer
to us. Hebrew refers to the race, Is
raelite refers to the nation, Jew to the
religion.

They're alive, and yet it was
a man who discovered the one
remedy for their peculiar all
ments.
The man was DR.. Pierce.
The discovery was his Fa-
vorite Prescription the boon

Why go round "with one
foot in the grave" suffering in

there's a remedy at hand that
isn't an experiment, but which
IS sold under the guarantee
that if you are disappointed
in any way in it, you can get
your money back by applying
to it's makers.
We can hardly imagine a

sibly it may be true Of one
or two-but we doubt it.

They must have it. Think

of ten waiting for it. Garry

Why Boys Are Misch1evous.

William Dean Howells in Harper's Young Peo-
pie.
A boy cannot invent anything-he
can only initiate; and it is easier to imi-
tate evil than good. You can initiate war,
but how are you going to initiate peace
So a boy passes his leisure in contriving
mischief. If you get another fellow to
walk into wasp's camp you can see
you do not, then nothing at all happens.
If you set q dog to chase cat up tree,
then something has been done; but if
you do not set the dog on the cat, then
the cat just lies in the sun and sleeps,
and you lose your time. If a boy could
find out some way of doing good, so that
he could be active in it, very likely he
would want to do good now and then !;
but as he cannot he very seldom wants

Toned man, neatly alfred, and evident

who serves him, What kind of pie
have you got to-day ?'' The waiter
names the different kinds of pie, in
Guiding peach, lemon, cranberry, apple
and custard. The customer requests
the waiter to bring a piece of the pie
first mentioned, and also glass of but
termilk. AS soon as he hes devoured
this course he calls FOR another piece of

THE HOUR OF POVERTY.
From the Chicago Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago Inter-occan.
All the cities of the land show
an anxiety to be fairly represent
ed by the census enumeratOrs.
They show a remarkable growth,
but if it is at the expense of the
rural population i: Is lamentable
When the boys on the old farms
shall all be seized with the desire
to crowd int . the great cities, pre-
ferring the hurly-burly of busi-
ness to the quietude of the farm,
that hour begins the nations pow
erty. National prosperity drives
its roots deep and sure in its fer
tile acres.
NJ amount Of manufacture will
make up fol any decay in sgrl-
culture. Statesmen aud educators
should see to it that as far as pos
sible the farms should be protect
ed, and the place Of agriculture
il estimating the nations great
ness should be constantly set
forth. The farmers boys should
be educated to believe in the fact
that, instead of being in the rear
of the great procession, the whole
guild Is really by virtue of its i'm
portance, in the very front rank.

UGLY LITTLE WOMEN.

We have much tenderness for
women VINO are not handsome.
Beauty gets plenty of praise. Po-
cts sing Of It, romancers furnish
It u attendance to their herolnes,
dramatists use 1t as themotiyc Of
ihelr most stirring play, painters
and sculptors delight to portray
it; all the world worshlps it, and
yet there is much to be said about
the noble qualities of ugly little
women. There is often more
charm in the vitality, energy, un-
seltishness, and gayoty of IN ugly
little woman than IN half q dozen
tall, queenly beauties, who have
to be ON the watch all the time 10
pose we'll and make their points
effective. There have b0en men
in the world who have thought it
fine thing to say that san ugly
woman has no place in the ceono-
my of nature" But If the rec
ords of the world were Intelllglbly
written, 1t would be found that
ugly little women have been the
heroines, the helpmeets of the
heroes. 1t is the function Of beau
ty to get men into trouble. Helen
of Troy, Cleopatra, Mary Queen
of Scots, and hundreds of others,
wherever they came, brought Gu.
Iamlty. Beauty and anguish have
walked hand IN hand the down
ward slope 10 death, and when
ever tho poet dreams OF fair
women he is sure to dream some
thing doleful. If he were TO have
a dream Of ugly little women it
would DO full Of brightness, 10y
atty, devotion, sincerity, forti-
tude, and all those other loyable
female qualities that make home
happy. Tall beauty is epic; ! tt 9
ugly is lyric, homelkc. Just
think of what a deep-seated COM
pllment is involved in calling II
regularity of foatrre honeliHess.
1t means that she Is not for the
ballroom, but for the home, for
the friendships that cluster around
the hearth, for the merry little
soclable, the picnic or off-hand
game, or for the darkened SICK
room where she brings rest and
comfort. "Pretty IS as pretty
does" is an old MAXIM, whose
truth is only half appreciated.
For iu the pIainness of feature
and inslgnilicance Of person Of
homely women there is often
fund an earnestncss, whole
souled sweetness and sympathetic
expression that wins love fal
quicker than mere beauty. The
world could fai more easily afford
to lose its supplies of beauty than
to give up its precious stores OF
ugly little women. The beauties
wait to be loved; the others de-
light to be lovlng.-Selected.

THE ADDRESS OF MAIoa eovAN.

The speech of Maj. Govan at
Magnolia on Convention Day was
listened to with great interest.
The address was voluntary and
as it hinged altogether On topics
that would be probably discussed
in the Constitutional Convention,
and coming from high State
official It might be supposed to
voice the sentiments OF the State
Administration, or at least Of Il
large number OF the people Of the
State.
The people of Pike have never
been favorable to the matter of a
State Convention, to form 4 new
constitution, aud as very few of
them know what is wanted with s
constitution It was quite natural
they should be glad to hear the
views Of some we'll posted man
coming from the political centre
of the State, upon so great a
question as now contronts us.
The Major began much like a
doctor who once volunteered a
prescription for sick friend,
who told him ye-y many medi-
cinrs that he should not take, but
could not sufficiently diagnose
the casa to tell him what he should
take.
The Major told US IN reference
to the suffrage question, that we
could not make Il constitution that
would conflict with the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitutlon. This thing nearly eve, y
body knew, So the advice in this
one particular did not largely in
crease our wisdom IN reference to
organic legislation.
He also told US we should by
no means put au educational plank
into the constitution, because
such a course would tend to dis
franchise many a poor soldier
with whom he hlnself had march
ed side by side In our great inter
necine war, He could have given
additional strength TO his args
ment by adding that it was wrong
per 20 to deprive a man from the
exercise of the ballot simply be-
cause he is ilIuerate, still he In,
sisted that the people should b'
lifted into higher order of intel
ligence by the power of education
Most certainly the Major knows
that no Convention will make
retIogratlng laws that will tear
away rights already vested 10 the
hands of any citizen and that all
specifications locking to .he lie
strlction of the ballot, must have
reference only to those young
citizens who have never exercised
the privilege ofthe elective fran
cbIse.
The Major eulogized Judge
Campbell but did not think his
plan of one ballot for each man
and aplurality of ballots forthe larg
landholder, would be exactly tn
thing. This he did not recon-
mend, and told a nice anecdot
about the Texas letter which de
