THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.

She Does Not Suspect That She Is
Beautiful: She Knows 1t.
From the Boston Journal.
The daughter of the farmer sits before
the looking glass, with it's tarnished gilt
and painted flowers. Her bodice is un-
hooked. Her hair kisses curves and hooks.
She hardly notices the smen of the kero-
sene lamp so closely, so proudly and so
sorroWfully does she look at herself in the
glass No play actress or model shown in
the cheap picture magazines is her equal.
The farmers daughter does not suspect
this; she knows it. No summer city board
er. in spite of skilfully contrived costume.
could rival or approach her in enchantment
of figure. And the girl sits before the look
Ing glass with its tarnished gilt and painted
flowers.
She thinks of the artist who stopped on
the farm last summer. She remembers his
careless manners, his ease with himself and
the world. his trinkets, his velveteen jack
ct, the smell of his pipe, his pajamas
thrown upon the floor. He never wooed her
In direct speech, but she recollects the COM
pliments of his eyes.
The landscape chilled her all the day. The
wood pile smelled of mortality. Mullen
stalks shivered under the leaden sky. The
hills watched her ironically. There was for
her the treadmill routine of housework.
At supper she noticed the shriveIed skin of
ner mOtner, the untldlneSS or her mother S
hair along the nape of the neck. Her
mother is not very old in years: and yet
how tired she is! Her father blew on his
tea in saucer. He complained of his
daughters indifference to the storekeeper's
son, and then he pulled off his boots and
dried his feet in the oven of the kitchen
stove. And now she sits with unlocked
bodice before the looking glass with Its tar
nished gilt and painted flowers.
1t is not o'clock, and yet what Is there
for her to do but to go to bed? And what
change or pleasure does she see approach
ing her for weeks to come? whistle calls
to her far down the valley. She starts up
and goes to the window. She peers into the
night, hoping to see the lights of the ex-
press train as it hurries toward the city
A mist enwraps the house. The daughter
OF the farmer undresses herself slowly and
puts out the light. OF what avail is her
sumptuous beauty? Only the looking glass,
with its tarnished gilt and painted flowers,
understands her and appreciates her.

She Asked Too Much.

From Up to Date.
They stood silently in the moonlight. He
had told her goodbye sixteen times, and
yet was he loath to go.
He loved her and she loved him
:. So he thought.
She had not told him so, but he was a
very young man.
''Cholly." she lisped, there is one thing I
would crave. May I trust you?"
e" Cholly's tackles tightened. and he looked
down into her lovelit orbs with the calm
resignation Of one who was willing to give
up all for the woman he loved"
Trust meT' he asked. "Oh, cruel one,
why ask such a question? What can I do
to prove my constancy?"
J.. "Get a hair cut"
The words fell upon a dank. moon-be-
.smeared atmosphere with a dull, deathly
rattle.
Cholly's arms dropped to his side. and he
walked to the front gate. speechless. There
he hesftated.
He who hesitates Is lost.
To the east was the barber shop. To the
west the foot ball field. With throbblng
heart and heaving bosom the young man
gazed to the east, and then to the west.
II will not!" he reclaimed, as he shook
his fist at heaven.
I And then he walked away with an aban-
dored air. His face was to the westl

School Book Question.

SchOOA BOOK HueStlOns
Mr.. Williams-"But whatever may be the
feelings fthe people Of New England,
whether they speak them openly or indulge
them unconsciously, the language CT the
gentleman from Massachusetts was doubt
less an expression of habitual thought.
Now. my friends, upon the question which
is before the House have only this to
say: Is there man in my presence who,
put In charge OF great commercial or
manufacturing business, would for one mo-
ment. as man of common sense. under
take to conduct 1t upon a system Of cCm-
petitive book examinations?
There Is a system Of civil service which
Is right and which ought to be put in oper-
| alton. The employees of the government
ought to be put in Office for a fixed term
and for long term. not coinciding with
the presidential or party term. and they
ought to be kept in Office during good be-
havtor during that time, not to be removed
during the term except for cause set forth
and proven. If you please. They ought to
hold their Offices as a sheriff or clerk
does in a state administration: but TO un-
dertake to carry on any sort OF serious
business on the principle that men are COM
petent to carry it on In proportion to their
ability to answer school-book questions Is
| piece OF utter folly. l think that there
words, that no man ought to be permitted
to enter the service of the government un-
less he presents a certain degree of intelli-
gence; and the fact as to whether he DOS
sesses 1t or not could be arrived at by
some sort Of practical AZ well as theoreti-
| cal examination. After that appointment
he ought not to be removed for politics. and
