OLD YOUNG WOMEN.
Root of the Evil Is i'm Parental Indul-
genCe.

One of the saddest features of pres
ent-day life is the condition of ennui
in which even the very young women
settle soon after their school days are
finished, says the Philadelphia Times.
At Is or 10 they have been everywhere,
seen everything, possessed whatever
their desires have prompted. and just
when life should be most filed with
beautiful promises they are hOpelessly
stranded on the barren shores of indif-
ference. The root of this evil is to
be found in paternal indulgence. The
American father and mother work
hard, saving all they can, denying
themselves luXuries and ofttimes neces
saries as well, that their daughter may
revel in that which they have never
taken the time or the means to enjoy.
From her earliest infancy the girl finds
that her highest wish is to be graft
fled if it is possible, regardless OF the
fact that what she desires may not be
becoming to her age or to her cOndi-
ton of life. That she wants it is all
that the parents consider, so that when
the time comes that such qualification
would have some significance she is
past enjoying it. She has nothing to
look forward to, she is Surfeited, and
should she marry. her husband will
find this ennui the greatest bar to their
domestic happiness. a little more de-
NAL in early youth, plain food, plain
4
of her debut, should be the rule, when
! the delight of new sensa tons will more
than compensate for the doing without
that which has marked her pathway up
| to that time.

Her Parting Thrust.

In the course OF a cali at very jolly
place the other afternoon girl was
inspired to relate a good story. 1t met
with such success that she was in
spired to tell another, and yet another
all the other callers keeping up their
appreciation-al the other callers but
one, that Is to say. The exception was
woman who looked rs though she
hoped her rigidty would be mistaken
for hautcur, and who was evidently of
very conservative notions. With WIS.,
age grim and never a smile did she
listen to the young wOman'S anec-
dotes, until II flashed through the lat
ter's mind that she had somewhere
heard that among the antediluvian
races 1t wasn't considered good form
for woman to tell good stories. At
last this woman rose to go. To every
body but the girl she bowed and said
Very glad TO have met you" To the
girl she observed. and in precisely the
tone she would have complimented a
poodle for it's parlor tricks: 1--WE en-
ioyed your stories SO much. New

His fierce, hooking laugh grated
harshly in my ear, but l needed him

boat and the lessening forms of those

fond and desperate hope that they

CHAPTER XXXIII

1t might have been about the hour
Of ten, and we were still lettering on
the moonlit beach. when the cry of "A
sail in sightr made every heart leap
wildly and with hope.
Twas Tom Lambourne who spoke,
but every eye caught the ship at once
and even those who had been doing
on the warm sand or within the hut
were awake anG on the beach in mo-
ment, stretching their hands toward
her with joy and exultation. but the
aspect OF the ship gradually changed
all this into suspense and utter bewil-
derment

she was about four miles off the reef
at the entrance OF the bay, and was
bearing directly toward it. Her can

OF her cabin windows flash at times
upon the sea astern, and the whiteness
Of her long flush deck, as she careened
before the breeze.

COLORADO PARKS.
Natures StoF~houses of Health IN cha
Rocky Mountains.

The season of summer travel, with
its delights of recreation and new seen
cry, change of air and fOrgetfUlness Of
business cares and duties. Is again
upon US, and the question most cOnsid-
cred in cottage and spacious home IS,
Where shall We spend our summer
vacation?" The answer is equally i'm
pOrtant to those Of limited means and
their more fortunate neighbOrs. Those
who live IL the central west naturally
seek the higher attitudes. and the
neighboring state Of Colorado furnish
es near and comparatively ineXp ensiye
and delightful resorts. The Union Pa
cific has expended vast sums Of money
in its efforts TO provide health and
comfort for its passengers to COlCra-
do, and its lines reach the most de-
sirable points. and traverse the i'm
mense parks which Nature has eStab-
lished in the mountains. To fully uu-
derstand the Colorado parks they must
be seen. No description can do them
justice, and neither the skill OF a
Bierstadt or Moran could picture their
pure atmospheric like the breath
from Paradise-nOr reproduce their
beauteous colors and forms. In the
city a park is a huge square. with
trees in checker-board primness,
where the lakes have fish as l2me as
chickens; the animals are in cages,
and are neither attractive nor natural
But how different in a mountain park
The range kindly parts to give it room
and shields it in its great arms. There
are grassy hills and dales where feed
the nObles, game, and trees which
shelter birds of plumage and song.
The lakeS-SOme of them miles in
length-are Tippled by the coming and
going of ducks and geese. The streams
bear along, eager for the bait of the
angler. the speckled loads Of trout,
most delicious as they brown over
the evenings Goals. There are no pre-
else graveled walks, and no elabo-
rate fountains, but the football is lost on
the turf, and springs gush forth with
sparkling tune to gladden. the thirsty
with a liquid such as never ran
through the rusty pipes of a city.
The altitude gives GOODNESS without
chill, and warmth without oppressive
heat. The Overland is the name
given to the Union Pacific Railroad
and it has become synonym for COM
Portable travel. The equipment of its
trains is UP to the stan lard required
by modern tourists, and it makes the
best time and traverses . scenic route
which has made it famous.
No better advice may be offered to
those who are weary OF the heat and
care Of home than TO apply to the
nearest agent of the Union Pacific for
tickets by its route TO the GOODNESS and
pleasures of Colorado parks.

Mix three-fourths cup -four, one-halt
teaspoon salt. Add gradually one-haIi
cup milk and one egg beaten slightly,
and one tablespoon olive oil or melted
butter. Let batter stand one hour. II
the batter is too thick the cases will
be soft, so add a trifie more milk. Put
fat in small, deep pan and batter in
small bowl or cup. When fat is hot
put the timbale iron in and let it stand
from six to ten minutes. If hot enough
the batter will cling to iron when put
in. Lower only two-thirds in depth
If batter drops off, iron is too cold.

Annie in the Gravcrard.

She bounded Ger the graves.
With a buoXant step OF mirth;
She bounded DER the graves,
Where the weeping willow waves.
Like a creature not of earth.
Her hair was blown aside.
And her eyes were glittering bright;
Her hair was blown aside.
and her Little hands spread wide,
With an innocent delight.

With pleasure as she read.

She stopped and culled a leaf,

That in our churchyard grows.
She culled it with a smile

She culled it with a smile.
And played with it awhile,
Then scattered it around.

Nor turn its gush to tears;

Oh, bitter drops will start
Full soon in coming years.

maze pubic, shows that the financial
condition Of Ravalli county is any-
thlng but reassuring. Mr.. Morony
finds many leaks by which money is
Irlttered away, and his summing up
or affairs shows that the county will
soon reach the constitutional limit of
Indebtedness unless some stringent
measures are resorted to. The exam
lner's figures show that the county
owed on Oct l, 1899, less cash in the
treasury. s124,767.O2. and by carrying
down by estimate for the rest of she
nscal year, and deducting the amount
of taxes which will probably come in
then, he finds that on Nov 30 the total
Indebtedness will be something near
$lol 1000, truly appalling state of af-
falrs, showing, as it does, that the debt
has increased fully $4,000 this year and
over $2lOO in the last three years. Mr.
Morony urges a cutting down of ex-
penses and a general retrenchment all
along the line.
