An Old Soldiers Advice to n Newspaper
Man.
A reporter was sent at the last mo-
ment to write up an important theatri-
cal performance in New York, says the
Youths Companion. He hurried to the
theater, but did not arrive until after
the play had begun. In getting to his
place he was forced to disturb Gen.
Sherman, who, with a lady, occupied
seats next the aisle. The reporter begged
the generals pardon, but the old soldier
was evidently annoyed.
He said nothing, however, until after
the curtain had fallen on the first act.
Then he leaned over toward the report
er with frown, and said:
"Young man, you ought 10 know that
II is great annoyance TO be forced to
stand up and let person pass while
the play is in progress. You should
either get TO your seat before the cur
tain rises, or stay away from the thea

quickly:

The next morning arose feeling
badly. had slept none during the
night, but l had wept for hours. All
night long my mind dwelt on the scene
just described and the burden of my
thoughts ever was of what might have
been. / was sure that viii Hanley
loved me-that the sight of me had
aroused all the tender passion he had
known five years before, and that but
for the vile rumors set ahoat by Ralph
Bernard he would have searched me
out even at the cost Of years and made
me his wife. 1t was wrong, perhaps, to
dwell on such thoughts, but there was
melancholy pleasure In it that could
not resist. There was a sad enjoyment
in recalling his words and actions, and
In knowing that he loved me even
though he had no right to do so.
For an instant / reveled in the
knowledge Of his love, then, putting
that feeling away, l contrasted what
was with what might have been, and
In my heart l very nearly cursed
Bernard, vino had robbed my life Of its
sweetness. But for him would have
been win Hanley's bride, happy, con-
tented wife, instead of disappointed
woman, loving a man whom had no
right TO love.
When descended to the dining-room
found that Mrs. Lawton and the Wis
itors had already breakfasted, so sat
down alone and ate very little. Leav-
ing the table went out for walk,
hoping that the fresh morning air
would revive me. l took the same
course I had taken the night before,
but just as emerged into the lane
found myself face TO face with Hanley
and my sister. For moment we were
all embarrassed and silent, but / soon
recovered myself little, and. extend
ing my hand to my sister, l said:
MARY, / am glad TO see you"
My words did not seem 10 express
much, and tho tone In which I uttered
them was quite devoid of sentiment,
but / only spoke as I felt. / regretted
that had not been more demonstra-
tive, after the words were spoken, but
/ did not regret long. Mary's deport-
ment was such as TO freeze up In my
heart any tender affection might have

extended hand, but with q stiff bow re-
piled:
'T am glad to see you, Agnes, in this
home, and hope for your own sake, as
well as ours, you will remain here and

THE OLD STONE DoUoHNuT JAR.


Ny thoughts win sometimes wander back
To things loved In boyhood days
The pond beside the railroad track
Whereon longing used to gaze,
Because forbidden there TO swim;
But brighter far the memories arc
OF what held goodness 10 its rim
My mothers old stone doughnut jari
There's many time and many place
My thoughts go back TO lovingly,
And many pretty girlish face
Is treasured in my memory;
Yet nothing takes me back so soon,
Or leads into the past so for,
Whether at morning, night or noon,
AS thoughts OF that stone doughnut jarI

And could always help myself,

up the hill to the line of works held by our
