AT least such was my feeling as I
glanced at the invitations to o little
moonlight excursion on the lake which
were handed in by John while we We're
seated at our cosy breakfast-table IN
Snow Cottage, one lovely morning IN
June. The note was directed to MISS
Lottie and Miss Cornie Whitaker; NOT
addressed, as previous envelopes had
been, to the Misses Whitaker. which
would of course include Elizabeth
Whitaker, spinster. The last word !

derby, "Sister Elizabeth, does your
head ache this morning."
How my heart yearned over that IA
vorite sister of mine. the very image
Of her lost father. We We're now lay
ing aside the sable robes worn for
three years in token Of our loss, but
It seemed to me that ] should always
wear the calm, sober tints OF second
mourning, and in my Utmost soul the
memory OF that idolized parent would
be enshrined.
Ny own mother cannot remember;
she dropped and faded when ! was an
infant; and my step-mother. kind and
indulgent as she ever was to ME, was
not one to call forth the ardent aEec-
ton. which but few had power to
awaken in my heart. Gentle, dig1ihed
and reserved, she had bcqueathed these
same characteristics to her eldest
child. the golden-haired Lottie.
But Cornie was like our father, the
same buoyant spirit, strong Will and
impulsive affection, the same dark.
curling hair and eyes Of laughing
blue.
I thought Of all this as watched
her fondly on that June morning, and
recalled how I had been a second
time orphaned when her mother was
taken from lis fifteen years ago. Since
that time, when Cornie was four years
old, she had been to me as much
daughter as a sister.
Lottie, who was five years her
senior, had always been SO self-reliant
and womanly that I could never regard
her as needing that loving watchful-
ness that our younger sister seemed
to require, and the relations between
us could never be so tender and affec-
tionate.
AS reflected thus, long after we had
left the breakfast-room and were seat
ed in my little parlor, I reasoned with
myself that it was but natural that !
should be omitted in the plans for en-
joyment formed by the young people
OF Caldwell. The mothers were not
invited with the daughters. Why
should / expect to go with Cornie, my
sister-child?
These reflections made me more calm
and content. and / could bid my sis
tiers a smiling adieu when they left me
early in the evening.
Cornie came back to give me q Sec
ond kiss, and whispered, II wish you
were going, too, you old darling!'
"Old," l repeated to myself. Yes,
that is the word.

lively than was my wont into my mir

The Home at Hot Springs.

Huron, Feb. 20.-Old soldiers and
others scattered over this part OF the
state having friends in congress have
sent letters and messages urging the
lower house TO pass the bill approprl-
ating $l50,0O0 for a national soldiers
home at Hot Springs. The bill, intro
duced by senator Pettigrew and earn
estly championed by him, has passed
the senate, and it is desirable To get il
through the house before the present
session closes. Citizens of Hot Springs
held a meeting a few days since and
delegated ex-Congressman w. v. Lucas
TO go to Washington to labor In behalf
Of the measure. The location Of such
an institution at Hot Springs would be
a benefit To the whole state; its con-
struction would give employment to a
large number of men, and when COM.
pleted would accommodate from 1900 TO
1000 veterans OF the war, whose main
tenace would be no small item.

DREAM OF CATH EMEN.
A Kansas breeder Has Produced
an Ideal Breed.

st. Joseph. Mo-, Feb. 22.-General w. w.
Guthrie of Atchison, Kas., owner Of q
large ranch in Chase county and a stock
farm I'm Atchison county, has Just made
public the result of an experiment in stock
breeding, covering a period of eight years.
lie claims to have developed an entirely
new breed OF cattle, which has been the
dream OF stock raisers for years, and
which for the present he has named Polled
Herefords. He has succeeded in develop
ing an animal with the main markings of
a Hereford, but which is without hornz.
He began his experiments with the belief
that a strain of cattle could be developed
from the Hereford that would meet more
satisfactorily the requirements for beef
ana milk, and he Is confident that his ex-
periments q been successful.
He never abandoned the idea that horns
could be bred out of the Hereford strain,
and now, after years of experimenting, he
has "A herd OF twenty-seven heifers and
two bulls that are Polled Herefords. The
new breed is somewhat larger than the
Hereford and with sparer hips, but retains
the natural markings. General Guthrie
believes that the new breed is superior to
the Hereford as to beef quality, and Is
convinced that they will meet his expecta-
lions as TO milking qualities.
