OURSELVES AND OTHERS.
Faults in Others Are Not Always Faults
In Ourselves.

Our own actions do not raise in US
the same feelings as similar actions on
the part of others. Egoistic emotion is
more or less present with all Egoistic
emotion invariably warps the truth.
We do a thing and it seems all right;
another does the same thing, and it.
seems all wrong. A man of high
moral ideal found fault with Ills neigh
Dor for working on Sunday about a.
suburban house. The following Sun
day men came from the city with q
view to purchasing some lots which
the moral man was DESTROYS of selling.
He took the prospective buyers over
the lots with great alacrity, showing
the good points. The neighbor re-
proved the moral man, who became ex-
tremely angry. Laborers frequently
denounce trust with great bitterness
of feeling and yet they proceed to
form labor trust with the express
purpose of making labor dear and shut
ting off competition. They refuse to
let an outside workman mine coal, ex-
cept at the risk of his life, although
his children may be starving. Do the
workmen experience the same feeling,
of indignation at their own conduct in
forming trust as they do toward
other trusts? A woman was one day
genuinely indignant because candi-
dates lacking certain characteristic
had been elected members of her club.
In less than week she was trying to
secure the admission of friend who
lacked precisely the same quality. No
feeling of indignation at her own con-
duct rutiled that woman's brow this
timer. P. Halleck, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

RECALLED HIS YOUTH.
Work on the Farm Prettier In the Mind
Than In Reality.

He was country lad, one of those
plucliy young fellows who see more of
the thorns of this weary old world
than of the roses, and as he walked
into the Office of one of Atlanta's lead
ing cotton dealers to negotiate the sale
of a bale of cotton he had brought
into the city from the farm he took off
his hat and Rugged the stove while
waiting. He sat there several moments,
looking dreamily out into the busy
streets, thawing himself, and perhaps
figuring in his mind as to what price
his cotton would bring him and what.
it would enable him to take his
dear old mother away up there in his
mountain home.
WHAT kindness there was in the boys
face, what dreams in his great blue
eyes, what warmth and glow in his red
hair. 1t was no difficult task to read
i'll that fellows face the life he lives.
He was one of those tender-hearted
youths whose good deeds were as nu-
merous as the freckles of his manly
face-one of those proverbial Georgia
plowboys who become great men,
whose hearts are tuned to the merry
chirps of songbirds, whose walks are
amid the dewy wales a-bloom with fra
grant flowers or in the painless wood.
"Ah, how | envy you, my dear boy"
said the wealthy cotton dealer, finally,
turning to him and breaking into his
day dreams.
"Sah?" and the timid youth was
startled.
How 1 envy You. 1 look upon you,
my little man, and dream of the past.
l recall the old days ON the farm when
was country boy just like you.
think about the dear old days as the
one brief period of my life that bore no
curse. There was the old swing under
the big oak tree down by the garden,
the old barn where used to spend tho
rainy days shocking corn, the dear old
well and the old oal1en bucket-ah,
what dream is that old oaken bucket!
Young man, don't you love to linger
around the old oalzen bucket on sui
try day, and drink the sweet water
that pours from it's messy brim? What
10y and bliss, what fascina ton and what
charm, and l dream on and on, with
longing and regret" and the wealthy
cotton man showed his hands into his
silk-lined pockets, and walked to the
window, perfect actor in his line.
"Yasser; hits perty good thing in
hits place." remarked the lad slowly.
but say, mister, did yer ever have ter
draw fifteen buckets of water in de
heat er de day for de steer you'd been
a-plowin' all de mornin'?"
And they talked about cotton.-At-

port Him.
They had jast returned from their
wedding tour. 1t was late at night
No festal board or other culinary deco
rations were there in the home of the
brides parents to greet their eyes.
This W As not unexpected, for they had
elop,d.
But now they had returned and were
both sitting on the sofa in the front
parlor awaiting the advent of the par
ents. There were atmospheric and
other indications that terrible storm
was brewing. Overhead the sound of
rushing feet could be heard. At first
the tread seemed soft and deep; then
it became sharp and decided.
''He has put his boots on" calculated
Lysander Butterworth, the bride
groom, as he crossed his legs and i'm
patiently twisted his mustache.
''Oh, it is just terrible of papa to take
on So" added the young woman at his
side.
Now, don't be nervous, Helen, I'll
fix him in the first round"
He cut the sentence short, for just
then the door opened and the old
couple strobe into the room majestical-
ly.
"Wel1, sir, what do you want here"
demanded the stern father in tones of
thunder.
"I-I-"
Didn't you have sense enough to
know that I'd break your carcass into
cracklings if you should ever darken
my door again?"
But don't you see"
"When you stole our daughter, the
child of our bosom, didn't you know
that you were committing a crime thas
you would have to extirpate with your
life's blood if ever got my hands OF
you?"
"But L"
"Then why did you come back?"
And while the irate parent paused
from sheer exhaustion, the young man
spoke as follows:
Sir and madam, herewith return
your daughter to you. Good night"
and he started for the door.
Hold on, hold on!" shrieked both
parents in one voice. "What do you
mean?"
II mean that I have been disap-
pointed. l thought your daughter was
much younger than she really is. 1
also supposed I'd get some financial
assistance for taking her off your
hands. 1t was all mistake. Good
night"
He had succeeded in getting out of
the front door before his progress was
retarded by four strong hands.
But you are not going to desert our
daughter?" they demanded.
why, you don't want me to have
her, and, as have said, don't see that
can take care of her without cash
settlement"
1t was a noble bluff that young Ly-
sander Butterworth worked that night
But he did the business well. In less
than half an hour all the family real
estate had been conveyed to hmm.

She raped loudly at the door. Jim
Fifer opened it. Fan strobe IN boldly
with Carey's hand in hers.
II don't have to tell you, Jim Fifer,
that we are Mr.. Tracy's children. He
came home from your saloon mad with
drink awhile ago, and chased us out
into the cold and darkness; he's done
it many time when drink has make
him crazy. We'd no place to go, and
as your whisky made him drive us out,
l thought you'd feel that it was your
place to take us in"
Before the man could make any reply
his wife uttered a cry, and ran to him
and hid her face on his breast. In a
voice broken by sobs she cried out,
pitifully:
20, James! James! is it true? Does
she tell the TRUTH"
Flfer hung his head in silence, and
Fan said in a lower and gentler tone:
1T is true, every word of it, Mrs.
Fifer. We've often been turned out at
night into the cold and wet, and we
go ragged and hungry because of that
saloon"
He thought of his two little boys
and of the disgrace that he was piling
up for their future, as he looked at the
two wet, ragged, pale and hungry chill.
dren of Joe Tracy.
His wife was thinking of them, too
for she suddenly cried out in sharper
note of pleading distress: James,
James, think of our own two little
boys"
81 am thinking of them, Martha, j" he
said.
Then 1 know what you will do,
James" she said.
He nodded his head two or three
times without speaking, and suddenly
broke away from his wifes embrace
and ran hatless from the house.
His wife turned toward the two chill
dren and took little Carey up in her
arms, crying over him and kissing him.
Five minutes later red glow il
lumined the woods down by the ferry.
A sheet of flame shot up among the
trees, making their black and leafess
branches stand out boldly in it's light.
The flames rose higher and higher, and
Mrs. Fifer and Fan could see in the
brilliant freight bareheaded man
standing in the road with folded arms,
looking at the destruction of his casks
OF liquor. He had dragged them out
into the road and set fire to them.
The place at the ferry was never re-
opened as saloon. In the little build
ing Jim Fifer set up the business of a
shoemaker, to which he had been
trained. There he prospered and be-
came respected citizen.
My father and several others inter
ested themselves particularly in Tracy.
There was a little house of two or three
rooms on our farm into which they
moved. Mrs. Fifer did much for the
children.
There were still remains of manli.
ness and honor in poor Tracy, and the
time came when Fan and .Carey were
proud to call him father, and when he
was all that father ought to be to his
children. b. Harbour, in Youths
