that they are not omnipotsnt lalAheir
own family circle. y$as S :,
When John Harmon left his home
that morning and walked 70 tbs Store,
he was not at all disturbed BY any
thought of what his wife aud daughter
might or might not do. During the day
had he given the matter any particular
thought, his narrow mind would have
told him, no doubt, that they would
remain at home, leaving him to join in
any celebration that might occur up
town. @
Meanwhile, Mrs. Harmon and Rhoda,
over their coffee cups. were having a
discussion in which the husband and
father had no place, excepting as a
troublesome factor.
"Rhoda, you'll have I'd give Tom up,
that's ALL" said Mrs. Harmon, in her
gentle way. II like him, but your pa
doesn't; and you know how set your
pa is when he makes up his mind.
Here's John Simpson, now. He'd give
his two eyes for you-and you tell me
you refused him. Why, child, that man
isn't 30 yet, but he's worth hundred
thousand, anyway" -
Lets not discuss the NATTER" said
the girl, quietly. II made up my mind
on that batter some time ago, and
there's no use talking about it,"
Fifteen minutes later Tom Wheeler
drove up to the front gate, and Rhoda
went out and joined him.
The picnic was held in large grove
about four miles from Watson, and
hardly any denizen of the village old
enough to comprehend what the day
was set aside for missed attendance.
AS usual, there We're several over-en-
thusiastic persons there, and these had
brought out an old brass cannon, of the
vintage of 1912, which they were firing
at such brief intervals as to warrant an
accident-and the accident happened.
John Simpson was assisting in load
ing the cannon, which was overheated,
and just at the moment that he was
about to ram in a charge of wadding,
the weapon was prematurely dis
charged, carrying away the larger por-
ton of his right arm. #$
Quick as thought, Tom Wheeler, who
was sitting with Rhoda in a buggy near
by, sprang out of the conveyance and
ran to the rescue of his late rival.
Mr.. Harmon was also one Of the first
arrivals at the scene of the accident.
''Some people are always sticking

an evening out without you getting
ugly about it,"
Mr.. Harmon bit into a hot muffin
and had nothing more to say.
The national holiday opened as usual,
about three a. M, with the firing of
anvils and the enthusiastic but uncom-
pretending plaudits of the American
small boy.
Khoda Harmon appeared very demure
at the breakfast table on the morning
Of the GLORIOUS Fourth" She had little
to say, but she smiled complacently as
she took her seat and looked at her
mother over the top of the tall old
pewter coffee-pot.
''How do you two women expect to
spend the day." asked Mr.. Harmon,
with masculine snort.
II suppose you'll follow up the fool
programme the committee has made
out, and by the time you get back home
again you'll be half dead; and, Rhoda,
don't suppose your friend Tom Wheel
er will overlook an opportunity like this
to install himself as the escort Of the
female members of the Harmon fam
ily?"
Rhoda answered not a word, merely
glancing at her father as he drew back
his chair in a manner intended to be
expressive of disgust, and left the
breakfast table and the house.
Presently he returned, having had
a short walk around the yard, and,
opening the door, remarked:
II am an old soldier and patriot,
but I fail to see what use there is in
trying to celebrate the nations birth
day with ice cream and lemonade. I
am going down to the store, and want
to be let alone, except by people who are
enthusiastic over the day because it is
a nations birthday; and as for the rest
of them, those who howl merely be-
cause it is holiday, want them to
keep away from me-"
John Harmon dominated his women
folks least, he thought be did. Had
anyone suggested to him that his meek
little wife and handsome daughter had
their way in any manner whatever, he
would have scoffed at the idea. He was
by no means tyrant, but he was one

have taken on. The idea for comedy
is good, but restaurant keepers who
adopt it al practical means Of gaugins

small end of tho horn.
It is a well-known fact though some

This loss, however,, is trifing, as com.

makes no little difference to these
losses, for if eaten leisurcly, there is but

MY LADY'S HAT.

Through many season s cloud and sun
And wind and rain
I've watched the sands of fashion run
And loved you, Jane,
And never has my firm belief
In your fair fancies caused me grief.
My deep devotion has been sound
When you've elected
To trail your skirts upon the ground,
And quite protected
My mind has been from haggard doubt
When you've essayed to do without.
In strange and devious paths where you
Have sought for beauty
I've followed, and rosy view
Has been sweet duty
Determined ever to admire
The fashion Of my James attire.
But now, ah. now, that roseate hue
Too surely dies.
A hostile and telectric blue
Corrupts my eyes,
And all around, injecting me,
magenta" RACES wild and free
Magenta shot with every shade
Which erring man
Has in his widest moments made
Since shades began
Such shades as make the blood run cold
And blanch the cheek Of young and old.
In me they have so worked that, thin
And pale, send
My cheerful resignation In
And "off1ce" end.
have no sight to follow more

Last Evening Of the Last Century.

On the last evening in December
number Of the old and young Of both
sexes assembled at the old Assembly
hall. should Judge the number Of la
dies to be 1870, 10 or 20 Of whom were
perhaps upward Of 80 years of age.
Among this last number was old Nine.
Wooster, widow Of General Wooster,
killed in the last war american Revo-
lution). This lady was between 70 and
80 years old. She said she had not been
at ball before since the middle Of the
eighteenth century, which was fifty
years ago. She was, notwithstanding
her age, very lively and cheerful in the
ballroom, but corld not be prevailed
upon to dance.
Suffer me here to mention one in
stance to illustrate her mirth on the
occasion, which think worth noticing,
considering her age. All the musicians,
except the drummer boy, happened to
be absent from the room. The drummer
began to beat to call them up. This ven
cradle old lady got up and went to the
drummer and requested him to play
some cf her favorite tunes which she
mentioned. She then asked him to play
"Washington's March. Upon which
Isaac Beers, aged about 30, as should
suppose, took her by the hand and
marched across the room, taking the
steps suited to the tune. As this was
done in the presence Of the greater part

Mans View
OF Marriage.
els MARRIAGE A
FAILURE ?"

It Is not uncommon for men to bewail the
fact that marriage so seldom means real
companionship that man and wife are
separated by difference of taste, of mental
outlook, of general interest in life. 1t is
perhaps even more common to hear women
blamed for what is called breach of contract
in the marriage relation. If the wife be
delicate, run down, nervous and irritable,
if her smile and her spirits have taken
fight it worries her husband as we'll as
herself. Even worse symptoms may fol-
low-the woman suffers from sleeplessness
and fainting spells, her head is in a whirl,
her back aches, and she has that awful
crowding- down feeling in the abdomen. 1t
depends on the woman whether she will
permit these troubles to continue day by
day leading to life of misery.
Thousands have been cured by taking DR.
Piercc's Favorite Prescription, and why not
you? A healthy woman is always interest
ing she passes for beauty because she is
happy, and her good spirits are contagious.
Good nature goes with health irritability
and peevishness with sickness.
Those who suffer from the arrangements,
disorders and diseases of the sex should re-
member that Dr.. R.V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N Y, has, for
over quarter of century, made tho dis
eases of women speciality. Send twenty
