Ruth. She have one of her bad head
aches, and she says as how no one is to
disturb her. And your tea is ready and
waiting, Miss.
Ruth Blake turns into the prlm little
dining room, seats herself upon one of
the straight backed chairs and begins to
Draw off her brown cotton gloves.
She is an odd little figure, small and
slim. and dressed in hideous antiquated
plaid, with shades Of glaring blue and
green: yet her fair hair-which the wind
and rain have ruffled and made to look
like a halo about her meek, small face
painful curve of her lips, and her slightly
flushed cheeks, render her appearance
not altogether unpleasinR.
She eats her simple tea quickly, glauc-
ing from time TO time at book which
she has propped up against the milk jug
"a book Mr.. Stanford mentioned Incl
dentally one day, and which she has OBJ
taiucd from the village library.
The next morning Miss Ruth gets a
letter. She knows the handwriting upon
the envelope before she opens it.
Parish matters, of course" she says
to herself. perhaps it's about the
school treat
She opens the envelope, unfolds the
note within and is reading it slowly,
when suddenly she utters low cry, her
breath comes fast and the familiar world
about her grows in moment strange and
unreal.

''I call this the dullest place IN exist
ence, said Miss Jocelyn, half aloud
"the very dullest."
She does not finish her sentence, but
turns to the massive pier glass TO look a.
the reflection of herself-a handsome
girl in a smart frOck. After one glance
she turns back to the window with a
sigh.
"Wbat's the use2 One might as well
wear sackcloth trimmed with ashes in
this place, for all the people there are to
see ones gowns. 1t was much more fun
at school, after all.
"Why"-suddenly craning forward

whether woman is old and plain or
young and prettyl

must be forty if she's day-quite forty.
And these little curls bobbing about as
she goes

Mr. Stanford is curste, but he is
man first and afterward cleric. Strong,
manly, gentle, he plays cricket with the
village boys, is ready to gossip for few
moments with the old gaSers, is a men,
Der of the debating society as well as the
rowing club.
But Miss Jocelyn is young, and is not
vet able to grasp more than the fact that
she is better looking and better dressed
than most of the girls whom she knows.
SO TO her Ruth Blake is ridiculous
sight, and Mr. Stanford's quiet courtesy,
which he would extend Just as readily
and pleasantly to his washerwoman, is a
"good joke
She watches them part at the Misses
Blakes' little green gate, and thinks she
can see Miss Ruth's upward glance aud
smile at the fine face above her before
Mr.. Stanford turns and comes striding
and splashing back through the puddles.
Then, having nothing else to do, Miss
Jocelyn plans pretty little piece of mis-
chief, which she promptly sets about
carrying out. She has one gift, this
handsome Miss Joce!yn she is very skill
ful with her pen, and after a lit.le prac-
tice can initiate almost any handwriting.
And now she remembers that there is
in the study letter Of Mr.. Stanford's to
her father, and her eyes sparkle with de-
light.
''What fun to send poor old Miss
Blake love letter! Perhaps she has
never had one. 1t will be a kindness,

simper-silly old thing Well, serve her
right When there are so few young
men in a place, what business have old

The Farmers Help.

Did our farmers more carefully consider

scope for development and achievement, it
would soon be discovered how many very
old methods still prevail in this progress.
i've age. Methods, mayhap, that were
rapid in the days of Columbus, but of
small value in this age of vim and great
enterprises, when each effort must be pro-
ductiYe of immediate and measurable
value, or time thus spent found lost One
must be up with his age, his time must be
divided between study and application, or
effort will make such small showing by
old methods and old means, as to deprive
one of his due for labor and life spent.
Every department of industry has busy
brains driving at and devising improve
ment, means of saving time, greater re-
suits for given effort that enlightenment
may be greater. This desire for light, this
progress is making times brighter, the
world bigger, labor more respected and
giving to capital an outflow of great bene.

quickly noticed than that of the farmer.
Resources on the farm are of incalculable
benefit. Every detail should be studied.
In no department are better results pro-
vided, quicker returns made or greater
pleasure given than the dairy affords. Let

SNOW DAMAGE IN WYOMING.
Cattle Suffering serlousl y From Cold-ThC
Roads impossible and Food Short.


CHEYENNE, Wyo, May 1O.--The severe
snow storm which began last Friday is
causing much apprehension among
stOclImen. The loss is now estimated
at over 30 per cent, and owners say the
calf crop will scarcely be worth brand
ing. A county officer made trip into
the country last week and on the
winter grazing grounds, counted fifty
carcasses in one afternoon. There are
hundi eds of dead animals in all the
large pastures and the emaciated
frames are almost in piles in the open
and among the foot hills, On the
other hand, sheep, having received
personal care, have thriven. The loss
is less than five per cent and the tleeces
will be heavier than ever, with good
lamb crops. About 100000 sheep will
be sheareo IN the state.
The roads have been impossible for
freight teams for two months and
thousands of pounds of merchandise
are stuck in the mud between here and
Gillette. Not pound of sugar or
coffee is for sale in Buffalo and at Fort
Mckinney the commissary is nearly
exhausted.

river is at high flood. 1t has not been
so high since 1889. Early yesterday
1t overleaped its south bank at this
point, and now nearly all the country
known as Oklahoma,,in Carroll county,
Is Inundated. The river is nearly q
mile wide from here up into Gentry
county.
To-day it is raining at the rate of
one inch per hour, and the rains of
yesterday will bring a much higher
rise. 1t will have to go about five feet
yet to reach the highest mark of 1882.
All yesterday boats were busy

from the "Oklahoma" lands
Late in the evening u fiat boat

the drifting fat boat for five miles.
Then one skiff propelled by an old
riverman, Captain Struttman, rowed
up beside it and then the Shelter wo-
man jumped into the skiff and upset it.
Struttman plunged in after her and
brought her to land. The Leutz child
was washed overheard but was also
rescued. Citizens of Brunswick to-day
made up purse of $50 for Struttman.
Ferry boats were telegraphed for
at Miami, Dewitt and Glasgow and
now all the endangered inhabitants
and stock have been rescued.
Dozens of homes are destroyed and
hundreds of acres of good land covered
by the floods. There is danger of the
Missouri current changing to its old
channel, which will entirely destroy
the bar which was formed about TWEEN

A Soldier Who Had Shot Two Citizen
Highly Honored nv tho Eaiscr

Highly HOnored by the Kaiser.
BERLIN, May l2. in the barracks OF
the Emperor Francis Joseph regiment
last Saturday night Emperor William
was entertained at banquet in the
officers casino. After drinking freely
he called out: Call in Lueoke have
something to say to him."
Luecke is the sentry who killed one
citizen and severely wounded another
before the barracks in the Wrange
strdsse six weeks ago. The case had
been investigated and Luecke, at the
emperors instance, had been promoted
to be lance corporal The shooting
and promotion caused a storm of in
dignation throughout the empire,
When Luecke entered the emperor
addressed him thus: "Luecke, you are
splendid soldier. You maintained, as
a sentry of the Third regiment of the
guards in the Wrangel strasse, the best
traditions of my army-its discipline
and honor. l hope that every soldier
will follow your example on similar
occasions and will have the same clear
understanding of his duties toward me,
my army and himself. Luecke, you
are an honor to your regiment and
your merits shall not go unrewarded."
All present under command of the
emperor drank Luecke's health. The
emperor gave his portrait, bearing his
autograph, to Luecke.
The lance corporal saluted and was
allowed to retire This astounding
scene was kept secret, as, in the opin-
ion of all, the young war lord had
committed an exceedingly unpolitic act
and the country was hardly in condi.
ton to discuss 1t calmly.
