GLOW kind she isl" the deacon kept re-
peating to himself as he edged nearer
toward the blazing logs and at the same
time drew closer to the rocker, where the
widow still sat sewing.
II saw you Mt church last Sunday,
t1rs. Martin. The minister preached q
powerful sermon, didn't he?" remarked
the deacon after another long interval.
eyes, deacon, and it did me o power
of good too"
I'm real glad to hear you say that,
Mrs. Martini" exclaimed the deacon.
His face fairly beamed with delight,
while if the truth must be told he abso-
lutely chuckled and rubbed his hands on
his knees as if something had happened
with which he was immensely delighted.
"Do you recall what the parson preached
about?
1t must have been the heat from the
burning logs that caused the widows
cheeks to blush so. She couldn't even
look up from her sewing as She replied:
well, como to think Of it. deacon,
think it was about weddings and such
things, but amt quite sure, for 1 didn't
pay much attention, I'm afraid, to that

''That's it, that's it," cried the deacon,
bringing his hands down upon his knees
witha slap that startled the canary from
his perch and set the widows heart beat

remember where he said that it wasn't
good for man to live alone? think he
told tho truth, don't you:'
The chairs touched now. The deacon
was absent from the town meeting that
evening.
When the villagers assembled at
church next day, they saw little woman
sitting beside Deacon Harding. 1t was
tho Widow Martin. She was welded to
tho deacon, for the parson had said it
wasn't good for man to be alone.-B. A.

People Who Work While Asleep.

Not content with doing their duty
throughout the day and when they are
awake, there seem to be some people
who are not content unless they keep
themselves employed while they are
asleep. Not infrequently individuals
have projected and carried to success
full issue projects which they were quito
incapable of taclsling when awake-no
doubt because they couldn't, even if they
wished to, dream Of doing them unless
asleep.-Boston Globe.

A GOOD IDEA.
Arguments for the Inception Of a Ma
tional Irrigation Scheme.

Los Angeles, Oct 1S.-The platform
reported to the irrigation congress by
the resolution committee says: 1T is
an act Of simple justice to devote por-
ton of the money received from the
sale of lands fit for agriculture with
out irrigation to scientific investigation
as a means for reclamation from sur
face streams, storm waters, and un-
derground supplies. We earnestly urge
the speedy action of congress in this
direction, In regard to arid lands, we
recommend that the national execu-
tive committee composed of five COM
petent men from each state and ter
ritory in the arid or semi-arid regions,
srall at once enter upon careful in
vestigation of the conditions existing
in each of their states and territories
and then formulate plans looking to
the adoption of a national policy, and
upon these reports the declarations of
the people of the western states may
be based. aai'a 5tltn

RECEIVERS FOR THE U. p.
The Business Has Gone Down Hill for
Many Months.

Omaha, Oct. 1S,--S. Fl. H. Clark has
been appointed receiver for the Union
Pacific road. Comptroller Mink has
also been appointed one of the receiv-
ers. A third is to be named later.
President Clark, discussing the situa-
ton this afternoon, said: "The appli-
cation for receiver was not unex-
pected, as careful student of the
railroad operations in the past few
months must necessarily conclude, af-
ter a review of the startling decrease
in the gross and net earnings which
western roads have suffered. With a
possibility Of default in payment of
interest staring us in the face, the
only thing to be done to keep the prop
erty intact was to file a bill of COM
plant asking for receivers and asking
the court to intervene. The property
will be managed for the best interests
of all concerned.
