Because the regular routine OF

Of work that must be done, as you do

quickly as possible as thoroughness

"good will" to even the dumb brutes
by giving them an extra allowance Of

If those who bless your home are
fair maidens Of ''sweet SIXTEEN" or
any other age, consult their wishes

Where there is hired help, have the

Clip the last thirty years or more from the
century, and the segment will represent the
term of the unbounded popularity of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. The opening of the
year 1898 will be signalized by the appearance
of fresh Almanac of the Bitters in which the
uses, derivation and action of this world-fam-
Gus medicine will be lucidly set forth. Every
body should read it. The calendar aud astro-
nomical calculations 10 be found in this
brochure are always astonishingly accurate,
and the statistics, illustrations, humor and
other reading matter rich in interest and full
OF profit. The Hostetter Company, of Pitts
burg. Pa, publish IL themselves. They en-

farmer had administered a flOgging.
The hot-tempered Oscar had rejoincd
his cousins smarting from the lashes,
sullen, resentful, uncommunicative,
except to burst out that he would get
even with that old curmudgeon if it
took him ten years."
The next morning. Oscar was found
missing. His bed had not been slept
in: IN open window showed how he
had left the house. His mysterious
disappearance could be explained in
only one way; he shrank from the
humiliation of his punishment, and
had left for his home surrcptitiously.
Oscar had missed a great treat in
leaving so abruptly, Norman and Bob
had told their mother that afternoon.
They and half dozen boon COM
panions were going up t. IIemlock
Hill that night TO ring the ghost
chimes. What an inspiring jaunt
poor Oscar had lost through his folly!
The ghost chimes" were quite IN
inetitution with Fairfield boys. Years
before Il wealthy gentleman had built
a church at Hemlock Hill. For a
time il was the general place Of wor-
ship OF the district. Then Fairfield
became the populated center, new
churches nearer home attracted the
people, the Hill temple fell into dis
use, and then decay, and now, win
dowless, dOorlesS, mournful ruin.
it was given over TO bats and owls.
One Christmas eve, four years
agone, the villagers had been startled
from midnight sleep by the chimes of
the old tower pealing out swcetly the
dawn OF another Christmas morn.
The mysterious ringers were never
traced. Boyish gossip discerned q
ghostly hand in the occurrence, and
since then, at every recurring Christ
mas eve, il was considered an act OF
royal daring to visit the distant ruin,
On this venture, Norman, Bob
and six doughty companions had de-
parted an hour since, and, with
fond mothers anxiety, Mrs. Beverly
and Nina were counting the minutes
licked slowly away by the clock.
Midnight!
Strange, The chimes were not
Forthcoming, the boys were not on
time.

clerks for the New Years holiday,
the suggestion of wealth, power, and
high financial standing had no charm
to evoke enthusiasm. To Richard
iPcnrith the handsome balance in the
ledger, the princely securities locked
np in the massive safe, the plump
bank account at the great trust insti-
tuition across the way, were no more
iat that moment than heap Of
dross, bundle of withered autumn
leaves.
One o'clock in the afternoon; the
clerks had gone home, and he sat lost
IN gloomy, protltless, motiveless rev.
erie. Two-he still stared at vacancy,
thinking of nothing, of everything;
wishing the wheels of business would
never stop, feeling as lonely and out
of his clement in the festive pros
poets of the next day, as il he was an
uncongenial spirit from another
world.
Three o'clock.
From the stone-paved court below,
there was waited TO his hearing the
merry voices Of young clerks and
messenger boys engaging in the
pranks and capers that followed the
last settling up" Of the year. The
hearty, boyish accents made
him vince. How long it seemed
since he was a boyl How
many years since he put love, emo
ton, every human sentiment, into a
scaled casket, buried it fathOms deep,
and became sordid, money-making
machine! With a sigh, bitter and
rcsentful, he put on his hat, hurried
from the Office, stepped into his hand
some carriage at the curb below, and
was driven homeward down the mag
!. nificcnt boulevard, one OF the richest,
certainly the most wretched, of men
in all the great city.
The portals Of his princely home
opsned to admit him to luxury and
comfort king might covet. His
sister, who directed in domestic af-
fairs and we'll maintained the social
status of the establishment, met him,
