The Parsons Trouble.

''Once in awhile, - said a minister from
out of town, 81 am asked question that
I cannot answer. Not long ago, early one
Sunday morning, walked out on my lit
tie farm and came to a piece of woods
where the squirrels were always numerous.
On the limb of tree which hung across
the road saw pretty little fellow sittin G
nibbling at nut. He didn't see me, and
I drew my gun on him and caught him
just as straight as a die. He fell, but
caught on limb and hung dangling over
tho road. just then I saw one of my
church member coming along on horse
back, and I suddenly recollected that it
was the Sabbath. Not wishing to influ-
ence by bad example, I stuck my gun
hastily inside the fence. When the man
rode up, he said:
GOOD morning, Brother Barker! I

Just then the dead squirrel dropped from
the tree right down on the pommel of my

moment forgot it was the holy Sabbath

His Limit.

SCI want to have a talk with you"
Drawing her to his knee. just as he was
wont to do in the days when she was
little blond headed girl of 4, the fond par
emit laid his hand affectionately on the
head of the young girl who was so soon to
leave the domestic hearth around which
had been passed the happiest hours of he1
youth. Hortense McFarmacy had indeed
all that beautiful girl could wish for.
The daughter of we'll known and popu-
lar druggist, she had never known what it
was to want, for in the days when her ia
Their was but a struggling prescription
clerk she was as yet too young to realize
their somewhat pinched circum stances.
Hortense had always been his favorite,
and when at one time she had advised him
to cut down the profits on prescriptions
from 8O5 to an even 800 per cent, while
his nature strongly revolted, he at last
consented to the change, and this perhaps
is the strongest evidence that could be
given of the power of this girl over the
naughty and obstinate millionaire. When,
therefore, Hortense had confided to him,
only few weeks previously, that she was
going to marry a well known poet in the
neighborhood, it came as a great shock,
but the old 1nan did not rebel. At the
time he had given his reluctant consent,
but it was evident now from the firm look
in his eye that he had come to some fixed
determination that nothing could alter.
MY DEAR he said gently, 81 have boeu
thinking over what you said to mo last
week. While I hesitated at the time tc
give my consent to your marriage with
young MeMeter, on consideration am
rather pleased at the thought of having
such talented young man in the family.
I am aware that he is poor, but that is
nothing against him. 1 am willing to
help you along and make it easy for you. !
am willing to stand by you rs your father,
but there is one thing want to make

asked the young girl as she looked up at
him out of her luminous eyes.

IN THE SOCIAL SWIM.
A Society Woman's Description of It n
the National Capital.

A Society Woman's Description of tt Mt
the National Capital.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-On the 1st of
January the busy social season at Wash
ington begins, and social observance is
more business at the national capital
than in any other American city. Tt is,
in fact, more business than pleasure,
and few people who are not familiar
with the details of social life at Wash
ington know what stupendous task q
woman undertakes when she joins the
fashionable set. This season the society
woman must crowd the fulfllment of
all her social duties-of entertaining
and being entertained-into less than
two months. IF she did not make bust
ness Of it, she would never fulfill her
chosen mission. In the season which is
about to open every hour which the So
ciety woman can spare from sleep will
be needed for social duties, and she will
be fortunate if she does not owe nature
a big debt when Lent comes. As for be-
ing mother to any one, that is some
thing for which she will have no time,
and if she is true representative of her
type no inclination.
There are few buster women in the
social ranks than the wives Of the Unit
ed States senators. They are not neces-
sarily leaders because of their husbands
high official positions. On the contrary,
they occupy a middle ground socially
even under the most favorable condi
tions. In fact, unless they come to
Washington with other claims to social
prominence their husbands official posi-
tions count for very little. The wife Of
the senator from a large eastern city,
who has the advantages of good birth,
culture and wealth, has little difficulty
in becoming not only prominent, but
leader in society, while her sister from
the interior, who has led quiet, do
nestle life at homo and perhaps by her
struggles and economies in early life
has helped her husband to his high posi-
ton, is seldom heard of or seen outside
a small official circle. The fact that the
senator's wife occupies this middle
ground makes her, if she has social aspi-
rations, all the keener to secure her
place, and to do this she must follow to
a most absurd extreme the unwritten
social law of Washington. No feature of
that law is more impressive than that
