The ENCOUNTER AT THE WAREHOUSE.
she eladdened Crandal's heart by telling him
that she had planned to spend few weeks at
the lake next Summer.
No sooner had she gone than the farmer be-
gan to count the days that must elapse before
he could see her again.
The young man had raised AZ unusually fine
crop of tobacco that year, and had sold it in the
field at 25 cents pound to the older Benton.
Being we'll to-dO and possessing much intelli-
gence and resolution, he did not fear that he
would be docked when he delivered his to-
bacco.
On the 10th of December the farmer started
with his tobacco for the village. 1t was loaded
high upon two big wagons, each drawn by
pair of horses Crandall drove one team and
hired man the other.
When they arrived at the warehouse of David
Benton Il Son they saw young Benton standing
at the entrance of the building.
Dick Peters, who did the unloading for Ben
ton was burly, i'll favored negro, fit tool for
his master.
Peters began to take off the tundles from
CrandalPs wagon. He threw three bundles in
pile on one side and then threw a fourth bun
die on the other side, growing in an undertone
that it was not good.
Crandall stepped forward and looked at the
condemned tobacco.
This is just good as the others which
you have received as all right" said the far
mer, in a firm voice.
"No it aiR," answered the fellow, as he
threw another good bundle in the same direc-
tion.

A Human Atlas.
Detroit Free PreSs.

There is a four-year-old boy at Cadiz o.. who
has somewhat staggered his elders and the wise
men of that section. The lad has never at
tended school nor has he ever learned to read
Still he can name and point out on the map all
the countries and States. giving their capitals,
their situation, the principal cities in each sec.
tion, railroads, rivers straits, lakes noun tains
and other geographical points. In fact, he has
the worlds atlas firmly impressed on his won
derful mind. His knowledge is thorough. as
he gives the population of the cities, the source
and course of each river. the termini of the
railroads. and tie cities through which they
pass. There is absolutely nothing in the geo.
graphical way that he does not know or under
stand in the fullest degree. The boy wonder
is the son of w. III. Boyles, a we'll known citizen
of Cadiz. 1t is probable that the lad has one of
those precociously retentive memories which
are often met with III mental freaks The
parents OF the little fellow do not encourage
the talent he displays fearing for the baneful
physical effect it may have upon him.

Beauty of Owning a Horse.

The beauty Of owning your home is that you
can keep horse. and then you won't have TO
go to the livery stable and ruin your bank ac.
count every time you desire to take drive, A
suburban friend of ours says that he bought a
horse in the Spring and has it yet, and it has
only cost him $3.50 month. Whenever any.
thing is missed by the neghbors they call ubon
our friend and claim that his horse ate it, hnd
threaten to have the law on him if he doesn't
pay the price. So he has paid for lawn
mower and a wheelbarrow and bird dog. and
host of other things the steed is said to have
devoured, and there are still lot of unsettled
claims on file; bat our friend says he wouldn't
part with the horse for anything, he gets SO
much satisfaction out of it.

As they neared the outskirts Of the village,
Miss Archmuty noticed fine residence that
stood on rising ground. 1t represented the
mixed style of architecture nowadays so much
favored in the construction of fashionable coun-
try homes.
There were turrets and cupolas, bow windows

cochere. The foundations OF the dwelling were
composed Of small and irregular stones and
reached half the distance between the ground
and the caves.
The lawn was several acres in extent and
was divided by gravel drive on each side of

artistic care Of a professional gardener.

White capes made of lace, silk and ribbon
are pretty affairs. A round or pointed yoke of
silk covered with net is the beginning of the
creation. To this is ruffied cape of any
length just falling over the shoulder or reaching
to the waist. The cape may be made Of alter
nate strips of lace and ribbon, entirely of lace,
or of the net-covered silk. A very thick frill
is made for the neck. Sometimes the capes are
fastened by long ribbons tying at the throat.
Sometimes button is fastened on either side
of the neck, and cord holds the cape in place
like a military cape.

On warm. heavy days the Eton jackets can
not be worn over shirtwaist comfortably, so
dainty false fronts are worn instead. Some are
of linen and look like shirtwsist, having stiff
