would be to have such a sister, for
his mamma, too, had only ono child
Pierre, with his cunning French
ways. For a week Pierre thought Of
Christmas, as he smelled the spices
stirred into fruit cake and rich plum
pudding for his fathers customers.
One day he laid his curly black head
against his fathers white apron.
Papa he asked, may l give a
Christmas PRESENT."
"How much will it cost me?" said
Papa ROSny, smiling.
Nothing, papa, if l may give just

papa.
NO" said Pierre; "it is rot to buy
that l wish"
"Nery we'll. my little man, do as
you like" and Pierre was sent away
with his chubby face shining.
What do you say, mamma" he
asked next day. "wksn you give a
PRESENT."

Rosny, "'With my love- and pin it
on the gift"
Christmas morning the bell rang
at DOrOthy's house. and there stood
a pretty boy with a pink necktie,
who said to the maid: Il have Il
present for Dorothy. Can l see her?"
Just then Dorothy herself ran in,
with her yellow hair flying out be-
hind, to see if anything had c0ine
from Santa Claus.
Here is a young gentleman with a
present" said the maid.
oh" cried Dorothy, you dear
Pierre: what is it?"
Me" said Pierre, vino had got out
Of his coat and muller. On his
breast "a pinned a card which read,
"Wif my luv."

said, How nice" and they went to
playing together. Little Men and

A Baby and n Well.

Come, Tommy and Bess, clamb Der up on my

I'll tell you a story as true as can be;s
A true little story to you | will tell
or n darling live baby way down in a well.
While mamma was writing and nurse OFF
her guard,
Child Harold his travels began in the yard:
Straight down through the orchard and on
to the wood
His little feet scampered as fast as they
could.
He came pretty soon to Il hole, round and
deep.
Where IL spring had danced up and then
fallen asleep!
So quiet it lay that the birds came to
drink.
And the sup played bo- peep with the ferns
round the brink:
He had heard there are tiny elf creatures
that dwell
In the clear. CLASSY depths OF a WOODEN
shrined well;
He had looked for as long as a half of Il
year
For that home of the fairies, and. 10. it
was here.
"Hurrah! there is one! and a baby, like
me;o
He laughs and he mods and he trembles
with glee.
alt is true 1T is true!n and he flies home
to tell
OF the real baby-fay living down in the
well.
There are mystical spirits all round us
I'm sure;
They smile and they sigh, they forbid and
they lure;
Some good and some nau yhty, some sad
and some gay;
Some watch us by night, some are with us
at play.
And when little Harold bent over the rim
OF the slippery stones that were mossy and
dim.
Some angel, l ween. saw that no harm be-
fell;
But his own baby-face looked up from the

Christmas, and all the children we're

Dorothy.
"Pshaw!" laughed Katie Brown,
who had four brothers. THAT wouldn't

we'd play together"

BROKE UP THE MEETING.

Devout Wish for Strawberry Time De-
moralizes Church Service.
The atmosphere of the vestry was
characteristically frigid, and the few
worshipers stopped around the stove
as they came in. Among them, says
the Biddeford Journal, was one man,
now deceased, a well-known character
in his day, who came from the north
of Ireland and had a rich brogue and
sonorous voice. He was very deaf.
and when he spoke it was in a tone to
correspond with his defective hearing.
He sat face to the stove, and did not
hear that the service had commenced,
apparently ,meditating on the Sc
verify of the weather, while one of his
brethren was offering prayer in a
weak, piping voice. One other sat be-
side him at the stove, and to him he
suddenly remarked with all the vol
ume of his voice and his rich brogue:
II shall be glad when it comes time
for strawberry festivals, shan't your
His observation drowned the prayer
and temporarily broke up the meeting.
as the most devout worshiper could but
laugh at the mistake, the relation of
which comes so timely, this week of
ungentle February, '94.

LAssIEs oRAseED LADIES.
The Curious Origin of Woman's Right to
Propose in Leap Year.

The Curious Origin of Woman's Right to
Propose in Leap Year.
Some one asked me the other day
the origin of the privilege being ac-
corded to women to propose during
leap year, says writer in an English
paper. Not being au fait with the
subject, handed the question on to an
energetic friend, who undertook to
look the matter up and let me know
the result. This is what she discov-
cred:
1t appears that in the year 1888
statute was published by the Scotch
parliament, ordaining that during the
reign of ''Her Maist Blessit Majestic
Margaret" every maiden and lady of
high and low estate should have lib
erty to speak to the man she liked. If
he refused to take her to be his wife
she should have the privilege of fining
him one hundred pounds, or less, ac-
cording to his estate, unless he could
make it appear that he was betrothed
to another woman, in which case he
would be free to refuse. After the
death of Margaret the women of Scot
land became clamorous for their priv
i1eges, and to appease them another
act of parliament allowed them to pro-
pose every fourth year.
The reply to the query as to why the
limit is now restricted to seven years
comes not SO trippingly to the tongue,
but doubtless some other energetic
soul can furnish the key to this little

A CLIMAX AT OGDEN.

Clash Between the Governor and the
Railroad Company.
OGDEN, April 10.-A climax in indus
trial army affairs may be reached in a
short time. Governor West has given
his ultimatum to the Southern Pacific
road. The militia surround the indus
trial camp, and the railroad does not ap-
pear to be anxious to make a move.
The men are peaceable so far, but say
they will go east over the Union Pacific
tonight. No transportation has been
arranged over the Union Pacific, and it
is not known what methods the indus
trials will use.
The Southern Pacific road has just re-
fused to obey the order of the court.
Governor West has given one hour to
comply with it, otherwise he will forci-
bly, take possession of the cars, load
them and take them out of the territory.

Revolution
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is well known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
TO such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is cooking marvel. 1t confines
with the food-imparts to it
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

CASCADE LOCKS.

CASCADE LOCKS, April 8, 1894.
Editor CHRONICLE:
The reflex tide from the great "ex-
odus" of week ago has set in, and
Cascade Locks is beginning to look alive
again. Nearly six hundred men were
at work here on March 31st when the
river came pouring over the lower bulk
head.
With fine weather in March and
everything seemingly favorable, the
beautiful masonry of the lift walls was
rapidly rising, tier upon tier; the upper
canal pit, with its busy excavation gangs
looked like a swarming hive; every de-
partment was running at high pres
sure-then came the relentless rise of
the mighty Columbia, covering all with
its turgid flood and then came the Sex
odus." Imagining that all work was
over for the summer, the workmen made
a run on the office for their pay checks,
each anxious to be first at the Bull Run
pipe line, and they stood not upon the
order of their going. The Office force
worked night and day, and in an incred-
IDLY short time the hitherto crowded
Mess House was like unto sSome ban
quet hall deserted" But the men knew
little of that quality of reserve energy
called forth by great emergency when
brainy men put their heads together for
common object. Major. Post and
Lieut.. Taylor the government engineers,
and Messrs. Day the contractors, are not
| of the kind who are "put up stump
by the first unforeseen accident They
are all anxious to complete the work as
soon as possible, and as result of their

the lift wall. This will be COM
| pleted within a few days, and will
keep the waters of even the June
food out of the upper pit and allow con-
tinuous work not only for the excavation
gangs, but also for the masonry of the
upper guard gate. This is important
because when this gate is in place the
upper bulk head can be removed with
out flooding the lower pit this fall, while
the walls now under water are complet-
ing.
Messrs. Day Bros. are building this
extra dam entirely at their own expense,
for it was impossible to foresee and
thus provide for such an emergency,
when the contract was made, such an
early rise of the river. being unprec-
edented. The putting in and taking
away of the Emergency dam," while
expensive, will in effect be like snatch
ing victory from the very jaws of de-
feat, and as an earnest of energy and
ssget there" on the part of the powers
that be, the people of the Columbia
valley will surely appreciate it.
When the summer floods recede the
masonry now under water can be CON-
pleted and joined to that of the upper
wall, with thus total delay of only q
week or two at the outside. Yours,
TUM CHuok.

cover the edge of the circular piece just

Before adjusting this piece the GRO

Preparipg Chestnuts For Dessert.

Peel some chestnuts, boil them so
as to be able to skin them without spoil
ing them and throw them into basin
containing tepid water slightly acidu
lated with lemon juice Make a strip
with sugar, the weight of which must
equal that of the chestnuts, and a stick
of vanilla. When hot, pour it over the
chestnuts, and let it stand overnight
Next day drain eff the liquor, put it
over the fire, and when quite smooth
put in the chestnuts and let them gen
thy simmer. Again let them stand and
repeat the operation-that is to say. put
the strip to simmer till it is ready to
boil, then add the chestnuts and let
them boil till they become transparent.
They can then either be dried on wire
frames and kept in tins or be placed
with their strip i'll pots and preserved
i'll that way. Either will do equally well
for the purpose of dessert.
