thing to do. certainly, and Abby al.
ways did the right thing. She did not
seem to take it much to heart, either;
but she never married. At least, I
never heard that she did. It is 25
years or more since I saw the old
place. There was nothing to draw
me there after the old folks died. I
wonder-I wonder what became OF
Abby! Dead, probably. She would
be an old woman if she were living;
not SO very old either. She was two
years younger than I, and am not

A clerk came in and laid a telegram
on the desk. The old gentleman took
it. The steely look came back to lis
eyes.
The old woman in the blac', shawl
was still standing ON the street cor
ner. She looked tired and anxious,
and the plants in the baske had wilted
sadly. The cars looked more alike
than ever, and she did not dare to
stop one. A policeman on the other
corner, had scowled at her unpleasant
ly two or three times, and Aunt Abby
felt almost ready to drop, what with
the heat and the fatigue and the dread
that the policeman might speak to her,
and she be hopelessly disgraced there
by.
Suddenly her face broke into de.
lighted smile. A ruddy, youngish mar
came hurrying up to her.
"Wall, there!" exclaimed Aunt
Abby, as he shook hands with her and
kissed her, and began asking questions
and answering them all in the same
breath. ''Wall, there, now, William
Henry, if that don't beat all!'
Then she told how she had waited
in the station and then on the street
corner, until she was ''all het up"
and had left her palm-leaf fan on the
train, and wondered if the plants
would come up again, and asked how
Lucilla was, ETC., etc.
Meantime the man had picked up
the black satchel and the basket, and
hustled Aunt Abby good-naturedly
into the car, and the two were gone.

How Horse. Are nleached.

One of the most interesting and
novel schemes that is resorted to when
it comes to 'doctoring" up a horse
for sale is ''peroxiding." Hors es just
suitable for carriage work, save that
they do not quite match in color, are
now "the uically blunderel" to the
tint desired in the twinkling of an eye.
A ''peroxided horse" shows what has
been done to him soon after his new
owner takes him away, and frequently
he has to be ''touch d up" This
bleaching does not injure the horses
any more than it does the average girl;
but the chemically tinted coat seldom
looks we'll when closely examined, the
dark roots of the hair showing on
careful inspection. Yet it deceives
the average buyer, and SO answers it's
purpose. e.-London Sport

Some with fond grieving eyes that overflow,
Some with brave hands that strengthen as
they go;
/ All, yes, know, know.
But there be partings harder still to tell,
That fall In silence like an evil SPELL
Without one wistful' message OF farewell
All yes, too hard to tell.
There is no claiming Of one sacred kiss,
One token for the days when life shall miss
A spirit from the world of vanished bliss;
Ah NO, not even this.

The Man With the jug.

Mr.. .Markham's poem, "The Man With the
Hoe" has attracted much attention and
elected the sympathy OF millions OF tender
hearts in favor OF the farmer, and properly
so, for he Is "bowed with the weight of CEN
turtles" and has con his back the burden
OF the world" But who thinks OF Offering
sympathy to the man with the jug2 He
too labors under a burden, sometimes be-
yond his strength, and falls out OF sight
and into an unhonored grave.
The world looks upon the man with the
Jug as common drunkard not worth at
tention, much less respect, and turns the
cold shoulder to him until he loses all self.
respect and gives up all hope OF redemption,
1t Is true that he is more to blame for his
condition than any one else and must an.
swsr to God for his sin OF self-destruction.
But he Is not alone to blame. Influences
were brought to bear on him and tempta.
tfons placed in his way that lured him to
his ruin. IT the appetite is hereditary,
then the parents or remote ancestors must,
In q measure, share the responsibility. II
the appetite Is the result Of social environ.
ments, then those guilty OF placing the
temptation before the unfortunate man
must bear the blame. In either case the
victim is more to be pitied than scorned.
Some OF the most ptlabe objects we have
ever seen were men utterly under the do
minion OF the jug. Though convinced OF
sin, and the final ruin OF the soul, body and
struggling to be free, like fawn IN tho
folds OF an anaconda, they were perfectly
helpless. Led away. 1t may be, in the be-
ginning, and blamable for yielding, In the
end they were the unwilling victims OF ap-
petite. 1t Is true no case Is absolutely
hopeless, because the Lord pledges Him.
self to help every struggling soul. But to
get such soul, whose moral senses have
been blunted by long Indulgence, to SEQ
this and lay hold cf the hope set before
him, is the hardest kind OF work, as every
body knows who has had any observation.
AS long as human nature remains what
It Is, and facilities are afforded men to feed
iheir greed, the jug will be supplied with
LIQUOR, and the great army of respectable
thinkers will be- recruited, and in turn the
grave will receive dead drunkards. There
Is but one remedy. We eau neither kill
nor punish the man with the Jug, but we
can take temptation out of his way. We
San break thejug.
God pronounces a woe upon the man
who puts the bottle to his neighbor's mouth
and makes him drunk. The curse must
rest on all who are guilty, whether parents,
or those who compose the community, or
rule the State or Nation. Our Government
Is such as to allow US to free ourselves
from the curse II we will. The RESPONSE
bility rests upon the good people OF our
land. The man with the jug must be re-
lfeved. Then the man with the hoe will
have lighter load to carry. Northwest
