RIDE A MONARCH

THERE are bicycles and bicycles on

die, and other parts necessary to make q
riding machine. Some of them are made
to sell to people who realize that it is q
financial impossibility to buy dollars
worth of value. for less than 100 cents, and
another kind is made for a class that has
tried over and over again to buy dollars
worth of value at from so to rs cents, but
has never as yet succeeded.

were too much for human nature-his
human nature-to bear. As he thus ex-
cused himself his temper began to rise
again, and just before leaving the
house he called to his wife from the foot
of the stairs:
"Tell that old fool Hans that If he
can't manage the furnace so as to get
the house warm in the morning he can
get another job" Then, remembering
that for several days his wife had been
telling him that something about the
furnace was wrong that Hans could not
fix, and had asked him to see about it,
he hurried of to avoid hearing her re-
ply. He knew his wife would feel baGly
to have Robbie hear his father cali
names al exploit his ill-temper, but
Mr.. Jones was in that very common,
very human, yet very cruel frame of
mind that finds satisfaction in vent
ing its discomfort and ill-temper on
some other human being; and although
he loved his wife and was in the main
a kind husband, yet when he was in one
of his Irritable spells she was usually
the victim.
1t was a good half mile to the station,
and when Mr.. Jones reached it he was
in glow of Precipitation, besides be-
ing almost exhausted with his walk
through the deep unbroken snow. Ar
irving there, he learned what he had
not suspected before, that the storm
was one of the heaviest and most dis
astrous of the season; that wires were
down in all directions and that no
trains had passed or were likely to pass
for some hours. The alternative
seemed to be either to stay in the cold
and dismal station or to return home.
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1898-12-23

The idea Of a morning at home was not
very alluring to Mr.. Jones. He was at
home so little except on Sundays that
he really felt quite awkward and out of
place there at any time but evenings
and Sundays. Then he had not forgot
ten the encounter with Robbie, nor for
given the household management for
the poor breakfast and the cold house.
Just at this juncture q neighbor
drove up to the station in a beautiful
cutter, filled with furs. His horses
were full of life and spirit and their sill
yer bells jingled merrily on the frosty
air. He was accompanied by his wife,
whose rosy cheeks. sparkling eyes and
merry smile told of her enjoyment of
the ride. On learning the state of at
fairs regarding the trains. he said:
"Well, wife, it's no use fretting; there
mayn't be train till noon. Let's go
home and get the children and have 4
jolly sleigh-ride. It will be real lark
to have an extra morning with them.
Here. Jones, jump in and We'll take you
home"
Mr. Jones climbed into the sleigh,
we'll pleased to be saved the laborious
walk home. But what affected him
most was the unaffected good humor
of his friend and his friends wife.
Both were enthusiastically remarking
on the beauty of the morning, the trees
covered with icicles to the tip of every
slender, leafless branch; on the bright
ness and intense blue of the sky; on
the feathery snowdrifts piled on every
side. Mr.. Jones had noticed none Of
these things; he had been affected only
by the inconvenience Of the walking
and the loss of his day in the city. But
such good humor as that shown by his
neighbors was contagious, and, since
his attention was directed to it. he real
lied that the snow-covered landscape
was truly magnificent. "No artist
could ever begin to represent its beau
ty." said his neighbours wife. "What
were all the art galleries of the world
compared to this %
BY the time Mr.. Jones was set down
at his own door, his feelings had un-
dergone an entire change. He felt
ashamed of his petulance, and especial
~ of the slap he had given Robbie. He
determined to find the little fellow and
make the best amends he could. He
also felt a glow of kindly sympathy for
his wife in her care for the babies that
was somewhat unusual to the hurried
business man. Yet he shrank from
meeting his wife directly; he was not
quite ready to acknowledge the mean
ness of his irritability and language of

THE SLEIGH RIDE.

to be sure and send the plumber to fix
that pump. But 1t had seemed a very
small thing to him that stove and pump
were out of order, and so he had paid
no attention to the matter.
Passing into the furnace-room his eye
fell on poor old Hans, the man whom he
paid dollar a week to take care of the
furnace. He was ON his knees in front
of the furnace trying with all his poor
old strength to shake the heavy CRATE
by means of the iron lever. 1t was pa
thetic face and figure the old man pre-
sented. Bridget had overheard Mr..
Jones message about the furnace and
had conveyed it to Hans, who had re-
ceived it as the knell of his hopes; for
the poor little dollar that he thus earned
was all that enabled him to keep peace
with the shrewish daughter-in-law who
gave him shelter and bed. But for
come reason the shaking of the furnace
had been almost impossible for more
than a week, and old Hans was in de-
spair. When he saw Mr.. Jones he
thought the end had come, and the ex-
preston of his face as he looked up at
him was ludicrously appealing.
whats the matter, Hans? Has the
CRATE got stuck? Let me try it,
Mr.. Jones was a strong man, but he
could not bulge the furnace CRATE. In
stead, however, of calling old Hans q
fool and threatening him with dis
missal he only said kindly:
"Wen, Hans, let me go upstairs and
get an old coat and we'll see what's the
matter"
When Mrs. Jones saw Mr.. Jones COM
ing up the stairs her heart sank within
her. She OWNED what was the reason
of his return, but what with the baby
crying, Robbie still undressed, the
house cold and Bridget in temper and
going to leave, she felt utterly over
whelmed, and felt also that her hus-
bands presence would only add to the
perplexity of the situation. She had
never been accustomed to special help
or sympathy from him in her household
troubles, and so she regarded him as he
entered the room with eyes that were
half inquiring and half resentful.
'Hello, Robbie, hurry up and get
dressed and maybe well take a sleigh
ride" was Mr.. Jones' first rather sheep
ish yet altogether pleasant remark adj
dressed to the little fellow who had
started to run to his mother on first
sight of his father. "And wife," he
continued, "as can't get to the city this

through the .dining-room, which was
still very cold. and make a detour
through the basement and kitchen to
look at the furnace.
In the kitchen Bridget, who had long
been the faithful maid of all work,
stood gazing into the cooking stove,
where smouldered few black dying
Goals. Her countenance wore an ex-
preston that was mixture of distress
and anger. An hour before Mr.. Jones
would have begun at once to rate her
sharply for her badly prepared break
fast, but now he only said:
"Why, Bridget, what's the matter
with the stove?"
"Well. sir, sure there's no dhraft at all
at all. and whin thry to make . quick
fire there's the way it serves me. Sure
it's the CRATE that's broken and dropped
down that chokes the fire. A poor CELL
can't do any cooking on that stove"
Mr.. Jones' conscience pricked him.
His wife had told him several times
about the broken CRATE; had written
down the name and number of the
stove and begged him send it from the
city. but he had forgotten it. He saw
the impossibility of doing any good
work with such a poor instrument as
this, and then he said:
"Well, Bridget, I believe the best
thing in this kitchen would be new

Bridget's face frightened. 20 SIR"
she said, "if only I had good stove, and
the pump fixed, sure I'd stay. gave
the mistress warning this morning"

him. How often had his wife asked him

White silk waists are the thing to
wear with your blue cloth skirt and

among the white waists has yoke back
and front, where it points down to the
belt, covered with lace and outlined
with band of white silk embroidered
with blue.
Some of the newest coats are made

reach within nine inches Of the bottom

The belt and cuffs are of black satin.
The new silks are exquisite in color

with fancy surface of small squares

Christmas. A heavy snow and rain
storm had come up in the night, and in
the morning the suburb of Jonesvillc
was a thing of beauty to the eye, but a
thing of discomfort to the feet of Pc
destrians, especially to those who must
catch the early morning train to the
city. Breakfast had been little late;
the coffee had been poor. the mullins
underdone and the eggs overdone; the
dining-room was cold and Mr.. Jones in
one of his most irritable humors. Had
his wife been at the breakfast table he
would have INDUCED in a few sarcastic
remarks about the Incompetence. of
women to manage a household or to
train and direct servants, but the poor
woman had not come down owing to
the fact that the baby had wakened and
set up loud demand for attention Just
as the breakfast bell rang. Little Rob
bic, three years old, had come down
stairs half dressed and had been sent
back with a sharp reprimand and
must it be confessed-a sharp slap on
his little bare legs. Yes, Mr.. Jones was
an educated, Christian gentleman, but
all the same he slapped his little son 80
smartly that the child cried out with
pain and started to climb the stairs to
his mother. For a moment Mr.. Jones
realized the atrocity of his act and it's
utterly unwarranted nature, and then
he excused himself to his conscience by
saying that he was naturally irritable,

OIL STILLED THE SEA.
Experiments with soapsuds. How
ever, Proved to He . COM
plete Failure.

Capt. n. Gathemann, of the North
German Lloyd steamship Oldenburg,
has just made public the result of q
series of experiments with oil and
soapsuds in quieting the sea in the vi
cinity of the ship during storm.
He began his experiment in Deem
Der, 1897, on a voyage from Balti-
more to Bremen, and used vegetable or.
whale oil to good advantage. He al
lowed the oil to drop from a series of
buckets arranged in the bow of the
ship. The wind at the time was west
northwest. with very rough sea. The
speed of the ship was about 1914 knots;
the temperature of the air was 4S de-
grees Fahrenheit and of the sea 81 de-
grees. Presently, the waves, which had
been breaking over the ship, became re-
markably quiet, and the sea within sew
eral hundred yards of the ship became
calm. The captain used about 2H
pounds Of oil in an hour during this ex-
pertinent. He was very much gratified
at the result.
In January, 1898. Capt. Gathemann
began trying soapsuds. The mixture
consisted of IS pounds of green soap
and 40 pounds of sweet water and, as in
the case of the oil, buckets were used,
from which the soapsuds dropped into
the ocean. The wind was north by
west, the speed of the ship over IL knots
and the temperature of the air and sea
about the same as in the experiment.
with the oil. The soapsuds could be
plainly seen floating on the surface OF
the water until wave struck them
and then they quickly disappeared.
No quieting effect was noticeable on
the sea, however, and when the buckets
were empty they were quickly filled
with oil and presently the sea again be-
came calm.
Capt. Gathemann reports that he has
experimental with soapsuds several
times during his voyages this year. but
never found them efficacious, and al
ways resorted to oil with good re.
