''You are going to pray over the 'situ-

beautiful saint!' cried Nicholas, with a
smile of reverent admiration.

''Good wife! You are better than any
fortune" Nicholas declared; and lie
laughed. He was very happy, in spite
Of the situation"
Miss White had finished sweeping and
left the porch. She had no grace of
manner, but she was by no means de-
void of grace of heart. That this mar
riage was u wretched business, a miser-
able b'under, was an opi.iion fire would
not melt out of her; nevertheless, she
had no thought of refusing Job Furnival,
when the time should come, and she was
entirely willing to spend herself in help
ing to take care of the foolish young
couple. She had slammed the door, not
in wrath, but solely by way of giving
them to understand that she meant to
leave them untrammeled enjoyment of
their Fools Paradise; and she now con-
siderately avoided returning to the house
10 put away her broom, but went round
10 the kitchen to get Nicholas a cup of
coffee.
Hes next do to a fool, / deem,"
grumbled she: "but that amt no reason
why he should perish unto my hans; n
IL he don't git somethin' hot inside him,

the Lawd, an a Judgement, if he was to
drap off suddent, an spite the colonel to

ness to hurry his end by goin' beginst

So Miss White made Nicholas drink
the coffee scalding hot, and then she de-
parted to spread the news, that being the
sole satisfaction she could derive from
the event.
Two hours later she returned in better
heart. "Dosia," she said, cheerfully,
"Tm a-goin' to stir up poun' cake. 1t
don't seem proper, nur 'cordin' to nature,
not to have somethin' to give feature

''There is one thing" said the man
from the'upper part of the state, (which,
I find, shows that we are all of the same

there is fire in a country town we all
go tosit. 1t is rare thing, and we find
it feature Of the season. Besides that.
we. generally take hand in hauling out
furniture or making ourselves useful in
other ways. Now you New Workers get
just as excited and interested over a fire
as we do, and your fires are so frequent
that they have not the merit of novelty.
while you know that there is nothing
which you can do to be of service, be-
cause your police and firemen will not
let you get near the blaze. But notice
that you all, boys and men, go chasing
after fire as fast as your legs will carry
you. You have only to hear the clang
of the engine to see running crowd, or
TO catch sight of the smoke and away
you go, following IN the wake of younger
and more agile men. That's Just what
we do in the country"

man who served as vice president during
Lincoln's first term. Hannibal Hamlin
was so charmed with the idea of meeting
of Americans of this generation to do
honor to the memory of Lincoln upon his
birthday that he gladly promised to be
present, and he undertook the long and
dreary winter trip from Bangor, Me-, his
home to Chicago. with an enthusiasm
somewhat rare to see in man of his
years. Mr.. Hamlin then said that he trust
ed Americans everywhere would soon for
maily recognize the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln, and that as long as he lived he
should, either at other public gatherings
or in his own privacy at home, devote the
18th of February to consideration of the
wonderful achievements Of Abraham Lin
cola.
Mr.. Hamlin's enthusiasm became known
to an organization composed of men of
every party in New York city who had
