talk" said Lucia, @entering the sitting
room after her rebuke to Huldah. isis
ter Huldah has gone to her room. We
will excuse her tonight"
The next morning, however, she re-
pented of this leniency, for when the
family filed in to breakfast at O'Clock
Huldah was not in line, and the elderess
had vision Of her lying comfortably
abed, forgetful Of precepts and warn
ings She prepared to be very stern
with the irresponsible old soul, but when
she went up stairs to pour incensed ad-
monition upon Huldah's head, she dis
covered the surprising fact that Huldah
was not in her little room. The place
looked tidy with its high bed, scrap of
stove and dimity sash shade. But HUI
dah seemed to have gone, and when the
elderess looked she found that Huldah's
two print frocks. and linsey petticoats
and long Shaker bonnet were also gone.
Lucia had a sensation of unpleasant
ness. 1t did not sit we'll with her con-
science to think that she had driven the
old sister away. She sought to convey
some assurance to Huldah, but no one
seemed able to suggest, as to her where
abouts. anything more definite than that
she had likely gone to "her kin down
yender in Lincoln" Lucia accepted
with a sense of self reproof the theory
that Huldah had gone out into the world
in a mood of resentment. Others had
left the community in various moods of
revolt against the new elderess' high
handed methods. Commonly they came
back properly subdued by the coldness
of the world. No doubt Huldah would
also return, and when she did SO, Lucia
determined upon treating her little less
sternly.
But though she fixed upon this consid-
crate usage she found no chance for
practicing it, for weeks passed on, and
no word came of old Huldah. Summer
doffed its green garments for coats of
russell. In West House yard the cherry
trees spread against the paling skies, and
up the Shaker roads and around the
stolid houses wintry winds swept cold
and snow came early that year, folding
in white the trim garden spaces. A cold
winter set in. The preserving kitchens
were shut and deserted, and the Shaker
women, gathering of afternoons about
their little heart shaped stoves, sewed
carpet rags and wove mats and guileless-
ly stuffed emery bags with thistledown.
They sat at their tasks more quietly
than had been their wont under the
placid regime of Elderess Jane. Gossip
was frowned on by the new elderess,
who, by way of furnishing her house
hold light entertainment, read to them
while they worked from moldy records
of the spiritual experiences Of early fol-
lowers of Ann Lee.
One day in January. while they sat
and listened, a knock sounded at the sit
ting room door. A lank fellow, bundled
in a wool scarf, stood on the threshold.
"Howdy," he said, amiably nodding at
Lucia, who looked up with calm, dark
eyes and smooth, soft lips which silently
questioned the intruder.
"You're the new elderess, reckon"
promised the man. 81 used to know
Sister Jane right well. I'm the tollgate

Youthful hopes and fears ssss
Once again upon the threshold
or our life we stand
And discern tho future glowing
Like the promised land,
And the hopes of early manhood
Putting forth their leaf.
Green as are the leaves in springtime,
And their life as brief.
With pang do we remember
That we meant to be
In the battlefield a hero,
Crowned with victory;
But, disoredited and beaten tt
Have been forced to yield
Or at best are barely able
Still to keep the field.
On our brow no crown Of laure,
Tells Of victory won;
Not for US the song of triumph,
When the day is done.
Other men have reaped the harvest
That we thought to reap:
Other men have gained the summit
OF the mountain steep.
And our hearts are bowed with sorrow,
Gazing on that scene,
For moment as we picture
AL that might have been
For a momenti Then our manhood
Puts the sorrow by,
Crushes down again the heart throb,
Quells the rising sigh.
And once more we set our faces ~
Sternly toward the front,
Brace again our nerves and sinews
For the battles brunt.
Onwardl With success or failure
We have naught to do. y

All life's journey through.
And. although success would cheer us
AS we onward plod,
We can bear the doom of failure,
By the help of God.

Lived OF His Sister.

Not long ago young man whose sole
business, apparently, is to wear fine
clothes and to enjoy life generally was a
witness in a lawsuit at a town not many
miles from Buffalo. When, in putting
the preliminary questions, the attorney
asked him what was his occupation, the
witness was visibly embarrassed.
''Come, come, what is your businessF"
repeated the lawyer impatiently.
"I-I-er-I-er'- stammered the
young man, blushing painfully; "I-er-

City Concern.
KANSAS CITY, April 22.-AttachmentS
aggregating 100000 were filed late last
evening against the Well-knOWn house
of Benjamin Mclean & Co., the largest
hide dealers in the United States, doing
business in this city, with branches in
Texas, Colorado and Mexico, for the last
twenty years. The principal creditor is
the Metropolitan National bank of this
citv, $40, 900. Assets will probably cover
all liabilities.
CHICAGO, April 22.-Frank E. Tyler,
who is extensively engaged in the hide
and fertiliZing business, having branch
houses in this city, Kansas City and
New York, under the firm name of Ben
1amin Mclean & Co., was attached this
morning by the Metropolitan National
Bank of Kansas City for $4,000. The
seizure was made on the Metropolitan
National Bank of Chicago, where, it is
alleged, Tyler has $4,000 on deposit.
The Kansas City bank claims that Tyler
fraudulently obtained $4,000 of the
amount attached for, and that the bal
ance of the money it seeks to recover,
S24, 300, is an open book account for
moneys loaned and advanced.
DENVER, April %. : The National
Bank of Commerce, of Kansas City, be-
gan all attachment suit against f. E.
TYLER, doing business as b. E. Mclean
q Co., to recover $40, 2S3.20, and also to
recover 81, $50. The Metropolitan bank,
of Kansas City, sues the same defendant
to recover $4,000. Under Sheriff Hogle

longings of the company today. The
business of the same company was at
tached at the instance of the Metropoli-
tan National bank, of Kansas City, for
