and Aline found him anything but
stupid as a companion. She used to
question herself as to just how much
her regard for her friend had to do
with her desire to remain unmarried,
Once she said to him, a little wistful-
ly:
10 Jean, Bristol has asked me to mar
ry him. What do you say?"
He is fine fellow" replied her
cousin, without meeting her eyes.
Then you would advise me to ac-
cept him?"
why not, since you must marry
some day? AS we'll he as another. -
Nevertheless Aline determined to he
come an old maid, and in this resolve
she reached the age of 21. Then M.
Isidore Bertoulin proposed to her. He
was considered a splendid parti, and
Beaujars was determined to secure him
as a son-in-law. He was good-looking,
rich and clever. Aline consented and
was hurt because Jean-Louis seemed
glad. He didn't care for her. she de-
cided, and she might Just as well go
away from him.
M. Isidore came every day to see his
betrothed and treated her with every
mark Of attentive affection. She seem
ed content and the wedding dav drew
gradually nearer. It was her custom
to walk with her lover as far as Cou-
berlin when he returned home in the
evenings, and on these occasions Jean
Louis walked some hundred feet be-
hind them and accompanied Aline back
home again. On one of these walks
Isidore said to her:
"Jean-Louis is very devoted to you,
is he not?'
Yes, he always has been. When I
was child he played with me; later
he taught me to read. AS I grew up he
surrounded me with everything for my
good. He has been my playmate, my
teacher, my friend
"And now he is family servant ?'n
"You are much mistaken. He is not
a servant. have the deepest affection
for him and want you to promise
that after our marriage you will always
treat him with consideration

These Are Popular Favors.

.'H-.t-7 ~Oo~ 40 < OPAAsSA = "SOASs
Children's parties weigh heavily these
days on the minds of pastry cooks,
caterers and the busy householder.
The new ice molds are calculated to
satisfy this craving for novelty. Klon-
dixie miners with picks and shovels and
bags of gold are evolved from multi
colored favors, while rabbits and birds,
flowers and fruits, though not new, are
as popular as ever. An amusing mold
for chocolate ice cream represents a
group of savages on an island. The
island vegetation is illustrated in pis-
tache cream, while waves of lemon ice
foam around the shore.
The influence of French and German
nurses is shown in the popularity of
rabbits, squirrels, wooden shoes and
rose-wreathed crowns. Wax babies
swathed in lace-paper and tied up
with narrow ribbons seem to be great
favorites with the small girls, yet it is
doubtful if many American children
ever saw baby in Alsatian swaddling
clothes.
Clay pipes and tobacco pouches in
miniature, sugar cigarettes, isinglass
spectacles, boxes of chocolate cigars,
and diminutive but ingenious shaving
sets are in demand for boys favors,
while dainty high-heeled china slip
pers, little bags of brocaded silk, fans,
dolls sheart-shaped trinket caskets,
, lorgnettes and other ornamental and
useful trifies are appreciated by the
small maiden. Every favor is either
filled with sweets or tied to cake OF
'hocolate. --..

Hog Cholera Cures.-At recent
meeting of Iowa stock breeders a reso-
luton was adopted as follows: Re
solved, That the advertising of So
called preventive specifics and sure
cures for hog cholera in agricultural
papers is fraud upon the public which
merits our most severe condemnation.

state to the end that a true knowledge

great interest, passed along accom-

talked, and never seemed to notice the

caused. She smiled and bowed to those
she knew and finally entered store

"He? He's too stupid. All he thinks
about is the COWS and chickens on his
uncle's farm. He couldn't fall in love-"
Aline Beaujars merited her reputation
for beauty. Nothing could be more
exquisite than this young girl of IS
years, with her blonde hair, her gray
eyes and her brilliant complexion. She
lived happily at her fathers farm,
where every one loved and worshiped
her as sort of queen, beginning with
Jean-Louis, who, in spite of his stu
pidity, possessed marvellous ingenuity
in satisfying the young girls caprices.
He was an orphan and had been
adopted in his childhood by his uncle,
M. Beaujars, and now occupied on his
farm the position of general manager.
IF it were not for Jean-Louis," Beau
jars had often said, 81 would not be
as well off as I am. He is a treasure,
= but 1t is queer that he seems so stupid
about other things"
1t was on account Of this reputation
for innocent stupidity that Jean-Louis
was allowed to be the constant COM

CHEERING TO FARMERS.
They Arc Drawing More Money From
Abroad Than Ever Before.

Washington. June l3.-The farmers OF
the United States are drawing upon
other parts of the world for more money
in the fiscal year which ends with this
month than any preceding year in the
history of the country. The high waite
mark of 1892 when our exports Of agri'
cultural products amounted to $799, 1928,
222, win be surpassed by the record OF
the year which closes with this month.
The preliminary reports of May ex-
porations which have reached the
bureau OF statistics make II quite ap-
parent that the agricultural exports OF
the year will be considerably in excess
of $500, 900 900, the total for the year be-
ing likely 10 reach $685.. 100000. Never
before have the exports Of agricultural
products reached the $500, ,0O0 900 line.
and never but twice have they been as
much as 100000, 900. the two occasions
in which they passed the $500, ,000, 900
line being in 1881 and 1892. Compared
with last fiscal year the increase Of
agricultural products will be fully $780,
900, 200, and compared with the pre-
ceding year the increase will be over
SEQ, ,0O0. 900, while the total will be fully
SO per cent in excess Of that Of the fiscal
year Of 1895.
In breadstuffs alone the exports of
the year will amount to nearly $1,000, 900
for each business day, and will be more
than $lOo. .OO0, 900 in excess Of last years
exports of breadstuffs. Nearly all arti-
cles classed as breadstuffs have partici-
pated in this increase.
In provisions" in which term are in.
cluded dairy products. there is also a
marked increase. the total exports of
provisions for the year being likely to
reach $3.50. .ooo. 900 in value. Most Of this
increase. however. is in hog products.
