Anyhow, L don't see how boys can be
expected to remember aprons, not wear
ing, such things themselves.
just as mother said, Tod began to
be sleepy in no time. But I'd prom
Used to take care of her, and knew she
would GO in the house and go to sleep
again. 1t was really pretty early for
a five-year-old TO get up. She wanted
to cause 1 did so, so mother said she
could try it.
1 like to please Tod. She's my ia
vorite sister, too. She's nearer my age,
and the others are so grown-up-p'rtic-
ularly Jerry. Then, besides, I'm Tod's
favorite brother; at least, 1 should be
if she had another, which she hasn't.
To proceed: I told Tod to run in and
take nap, and to do it softly, SOS not
to wake 'em up; for it couldn't be six
yet, as the early train hadn't started.
Billy Croker came along then, run
ming like mad.
"Hello!" says he. "Guess I'm late"
Guess you are, lazy-bones," says l.,
handing him some crackers and punk.
''But now you're here, so blaze away"
Jimmy" cried Tod, touching my
arm; and the cracker I'd lighted went
off rather quick. However, it didn't
hurt much. 1 put my finger in my
mouth to cool it. Jimmy, can't open
the front door; it's locked"
That's so!' l says. How stupid of
me! forgot to fix the night latch"
"Oh, Jimmy, I'm awful sleepy" says
Tod.
1t wouldn't have hurt her bit to
take a nap on the nice warm grass, but
mother had warned me specially
'gainst that. If Louie had been home,
could have called her quietly. She was
away on visit, though, and l hated to
disturb mother and father.
LET her take nap in that empty
car" says Billy.
1t had stood on the side track several
days, and I thought it a capital idea.
So went across the road with Tod and
she laid down on one of the cushion
seats.
1t was pretty warm, but / didn't want
to run any risks, so Billy rolled up his
coat for pillow and 1 put mine over
her, and she was fsst asleep in minute.
We had fine time after that, Billy
being boy with ideas. What we didn't
do with firecrackers isn't worth men
tioning. But after the bad luck we had
setting off some in front of the chicken
coop-we nearly killed two of our best
chickens-I drew the line at firing any
near the setting hen.
Billy thought it would be fun to see
what she'd do, but somehow felt it
would be better not to. Besides, that
hen was Jerry's.
never thought once of Tod till most
breakfast time, when mother put her
head out of the window and called:
"Come, Jimmy; it's time to get ready
for breakfast. Bring Tod in
"All right" shouted; and Billy and
I ran over to the track.
And no car was there!
Billy and just looked at each other,
and l felt kind of dizzy. He stuck both
hands in his pockets and said "Whew!"
with very red face.
1.-THE cars gore!" said I, though
p'r'aps it wasn't necessary remark.
The next minute we were rushing
into the station and asking il the car
had gone with the six o'clock train.
The agent said it had, and asked me if
I felt sick. Well, did, sort Of; but 1
hadn't time to tell him so, and ran, full
tilt, out of the station door and got into
the 1850 that was just ready to start.
"What are vou Poinp to do?" saws
Billy.

The return Of assessments of personal
property made to the auditor Of state
continues to indicate that there will be
anet decrease in the assessment for $685.
Something over one-half the counties
have reported but still it is not possible
to make an accurate estimate of what
the decrease will be, because the varia-
ton is so great among the counties
Some Of them show large increases and
others continue to show large decreases

And Honor lays her wreath beside

And every lucent river speaks

And blessed with pray'r divine,
In peace rejoice the free and brave
From orange tree to pine.

AT the end of the year 1897 the
debt of Cuba was 1922. 02O. 200, and
the capacity Of the island to raise
revenue is limited to $50, 000, 900 OF
SAG, 600, 900 year The debt ap.
pears to have been chiefly created
in the last 20 years, the total debt
in 1868 having been only $40, 900, 900.
Since 1866 the increase of the debt
has been abnormal and ought to
have created alarm. Recently the
question has been raised in Cuba.
by whom ought this debt TO be paid?
Senior Moret expressed the opinion
that Spain ought to pay part of it:
some Spaniards thought that Spain.
in whose cause the debt had been
contracted, ought to pay the whole.
What will happen, it, as is probable,
Spain, by the fortune of war, should
lose the island2 Who will then pay
the debt? Or will it be repudiated?
In 1863, the Spanish minister, De VI
tramar, decided that the debt of
Cuba ought TO be diminished, and in
that year, by him, a reduction of
1886, 466 was made. Every year
since 1873 has seen deficit.
The American government, under
Polk, offered 800, 600, 900 for the
island, and $l20, 900, 600 was the
limit which he was willing to give.
Spain refused to sell then, as she
would now. Persons who have re-
Gently raised the question of pur-
chase, as the alternative of war,
have not named higher sum than
SOU, OOO, 900, not much more than
onc-third the amount of the debt.
IL Spain be ousted from the island,
she may be unable to pay the debt;
and the question is whether its new
masters will be willing or able to
pay. It's a poor lookout for Cuban
creditors. Monetary Times.

ireland and Holland Have the Most
Womea Engaged in This work.
Though Ireland to-day holds the first
place, so far as America is concerned, in
regard TO linens, Holland occupied tina,
position everywhere In the past, and
holds it to-day in many parts of Europe
says the Philadelphia Press. The very
word Holland is employed to designate
q fine linen cloth or linen and cotton
cloth, and has been used for this purpose
from time immemorial. 1t is both
glazed and ung!azed. and used for wear
ing the household decoration. Flax
grows well in that part of Europe, and
the sunlight is said to be brighter and
to have more power in bleaching in the
low countries than elsewhere. The
linen industry is carried on in Holland
fields there are almost as many female
as male cultivators. In the harvesting
there is an excess of women.
In the many processes, such as lining,
heckling and spinning, the women out
numbered the men three 10 one. In the
mills the women are in the majority.
The men predominant when il comes
TO the making OF damasks ard fancy
designs. For at least four centuries it
has been an honored custom in the
Netherlands for young women TO begin
making their marriage portion in linen
when mere girls. Some go so far as TO
start with the sowing Of the seed; others
begin with the spinning, while those bet
ter off buy the finished cloth. All do the
cutting and sewing. A wedding outfit
consists Of petticoats. nightgowns and
other underwear, several suits for sum

cases. pillow shams, shirts for the bus-
band-to-be and number Of rolls OF the
uncut material for the future emer~
