TIE OLD RED CRADLE.

A Bit of Household Furniture Is Put Up
at Auction and the Sale Goes On.
After the woman had been away
for days he went through the house
like d man in a dream. He gradual
ly came to a realization Of the truth.
All her little things were there, but
she was far away. Her bird hoped
in it's gilded cage and peeped in vain
for food from her hand. Days went
by. The dream was gradually clear
ing in his mind, and when it was
over it left him as weak and unde.
cided as a child.
The next day out on the wall hung
the red flag of the a%uctioneer.
He was going to sell out and &C
away. The a%uctioneer was saying,
in his metallic, mercantile way
"This, ladies and gentlemen, is part
of the property of Mr.. James Bar
dell, who is suddenly obliged to leave
an account of i'll health. And how
much am l offereda"
The bids went along lively, one
after another. They sold her chairs
her carpets, her curtains, her dishes
her beds, her bedding. Every seam
every stitch, every chip in the pain
seemed to cry out the story OF thu
happiness of other days, and of /;
home despoiled. Still, n after an
other, the neighbor women, alert fo1
bargains, carried them off.
"And now" said the auctioneer
here, ladies and gentlemen, we have
| the little old red cradle, such as yo'
and l were rocked in in the old New
England farmhouse home. My ellen
| tells me it has been in the family TO-
fifty years. Go on now, give me
bid"
He held up the red cradle.
1.-Two dollars" said a gruf voice
that of a secondhand dealer at tn
corner.
"And ten," said another.
"And twenty-five" said a third.
'sThe old red cradle, what do
hear?" exclaimed the auctioneer il
in his mercantile tone.
After the sale, Isaacs, who hat
bought the cradle, was settling hi
score with the auctioneer's clerk
He said to the MAI whose wife ha'
gone away:
Il have bought nearly all you
stuff"
You have, Isaacs."
DO you want to buy them back?
said the shrewd merchant. with
cunning smile.
Leave me-" said the man abrupt
ly; take your goods and leave me.
I'm the morning" said Isaacs.
At noon next day Bardell said t
his servant:
'Why doesn't Isaacs come over
Go and tell him / want to see him a
once. He must take the stuff away
as we must get out at once"
HE says" said the servant, con
ing back, that he has changed hi
mind. He refuses to take the goods.
whats that?"
He bought everything in for you

MODERN ARCADIA.
Life Is Sweet to the Simple Majorcans
and Want and Crime Unknown.

Life Is Sweet to the Simple MajOrcans
and Want and Crime Unknown.
In my trampings about the island
| secured entrance to many peasants
and farmers homes. From this l
found that all methods of agricul-
ture and homeside labor were of the
most primitive sort and that there
were no idle folk in Majorca. Out
door labor of some kind is continuous
the year round. All the women spin,
knit or weave, and | have never en-
tered a peasants cabin where moth
ers and daughters we're not in some
such manner employed. Hospitality
is charming, naive and whole hearted.
The plate of figs, basin of almonds
or basket of oranges, with the whole
some wines of the country, are ever
ready for the friend or strangers
coming.
1 thought l had partaken of that
drink of the gods, horchata, in Cuba.
It is simply the pulverized kernels OF
the almond, to which water and
sugar are added. Here where the
almond grows in the greatest per
lection every housewife preserves
huge jars of the finest nuts for hor-
chata. The old mortar and pestle are
here for their grinding. The shells
and brown husks are removed and
quarts of the snowy powder are liter
ally ''leached," the creamy liquid
tiltering slowly through. Then sonora
or senorita adds a spice of flavor,
tamarind or pomegranate, or perhaps
a dash of wine, with her Owl fair
hand. 1t is food and drink. And it
is no wonder that in Majorca the en-
tire peasantry live sumptuously on
daily wages averaging less than
twenty cents for men and fifteen
cents for women the year through
when every manner of natures most
royal food is at every door for the
taking. and in such bounteOusness
that where it ripens it is value]ess
and without price.
Somehow there grows upon one the
winsome notion that you have known
all these lowly folk before; that you
have seen their festas and known
their songs in the sunny wales OF
Cuba, over in the glowing valley OF
Guines; that you have come upon
their brightness and cleanliness
among the Alps Of Switzerland; that
their generosity and hospitality were
met in Connemara and Donegal; that
their thrift and frugality have Their
congener among the Pennsylvania
Dutch, and that their love of home
and simple village ways carry you tc
the pleasant mountain wales among
the shining English lakes. Surely
they are an idyllic people in an idYl
lie land.
Want is unknown; crime is I'm
heard of. There is no politics in Ma
jorca, and but one religion. AL
this in time may change. But as
know it, and you can know it, now,
little Majorca, fashioned in match
less beauty beneath a smiling sun, Ii
ne one land OF plenty ami content

MaN'S COURAGE.

Now the battle smoke was thinned
BY the steady evening wind.
Cloud or shadow there was none.
And the penetrating sun
Filled up every niche and old
Of the landscapes furrowed mold
With the all pervading light.
From our naked. walless height
We could see the throbbing heart
Of the conflict. like a chart.
Barred before lis in detail
Where we hung above the hail
OF the shot whose every tread
Left a footprint marked in red.
We could count from breath to breath
Every foes and comrades death.
Every man of us deserted
Every effort of our side,
Every movement of h foe
In the moiling reek below.
Not Il man but understood
All that passed and all that would
Come, as clear rs he whose mind
Steered the squadrons, deaf and blind.
Through the breakers that upburst
Where the cannon did their worst.
We could see our time draw near;
With the knowledge grew our fear.
Every dying agony
Each of us could plainly see
Seemed to each mans calm despair
His own death pretigured there.
Through each smoke wreath's curling
Visions rose to us of home.
Memories of tender words,
Perfumes, morning songs OF birds;
Faces to each man grew plain
He might never see again:
Voices whispered, THE most brave
Hear no love words in the grave"
There we saw from where we lay
The days crisis, like a flower.
Bloom into the coming hour:
Saw our foemen's utmost strength
Hurled on all our lines Mt length:
Saw our need and danger grow:
Felt the waiting moments go
While the balance wavcrcd yet:
Saw how desperately met
All the lines before our bands:
Knew the day was in our hands;
Knew that not one chance In ten
Was with any sons of men
In the path that lay before.
Then, in all hat trenchant a
When no man of us could choose,
Not know all he had to lose,
All we might and might not win,
Mounted orders clattered in;
And, with our great task plain in sight,
Our foes seen in the clear light,
Steady, without sound of drum,
Dumb, as a machine Is dumb,
All our front with bayonets marged
Like an avalanche we charged.

The OfficiOus counter jumper IS an

And of all seasons of the year he is
most numerous about the holidays.
He so rarely gets his just deserts
that it is a pleasure to record n IN
stance where he did get it. To &C
commodate the holiday rush a State
street firm put in a large force of ex-
tras. One day the proprietor, while
discussing the quality of a piece OF
goods with the agent of a New York
house, remarked that the easiest way
to prove his point would be to get a
sample of the cloth in question. Ex-
cusing himself, he walked down to a

certain kind of goods. There, that's

The Pictures on Our Minds.

Let us analyze a little the elements
in the picture of the universe painted
on our minds. 1t is a harmony in
space and time. You think of a thing
as a form having a position in what
you call space, and changing as the
minutes, hours and days slip by. The
human world is a world of pictures;
our memories are sight images that
we raise from their sleep in our
brains for a little while. We seem
to live at the back of u eyes. The
human world is a visible universe
par excellence.
But since the days of Bishop Berke-
lev we have come to perceive more
and more distinctly that the eye sees
so clearly, Tot by it's own virtue, but
as the result of the education afforded
it by our ands.-London Globe.
