WOMEN AND FARMERS.

'In some ways" he said refectively,
women and farmers are a good deal
alike"
EYES," she replied promptly, "both
of them have to work hard and have
rather thankless tasks"
Possibly" he admitted, "but /
wasn't thinking OF, that"
cot course, you weren't" she re-
torted "That isn't the feature of wo-
mans life of which you ever think"
81 was thinking" he explained, "of
a little trip that I took with farmer
up in Wisconsin. He was going to
borrow a scythe or an ak or something
from a neighbor, and he invited me to
go along. When we reached the
neighbor's farm he drove out to the
field where the man he wanted to see
was at work, handed me the reins and
got out to open negotiations. I rather
expected that it would be matter of
about two minutes talk, but / was
wrong. They shook hands and began
to talk about the weather.

LAMENT OF A FoRsAKEN CAT.

The family went out of town,
Refreshing themselves by the sea;
I thought they'd have taken me down,
But no one had pity on me.
What of that?
After all, it is "on1y cat!"
The children got in one by one,
When the carriage drove up to the
door,
How breathlessly then did I run!
Little Molly cried, Room for one
more!"
What of that?
After all, it is "only a call"
mo place with the children for me?
With the luggage then, porter" I
said.
Get out, little demon!' cried he,
And gave me blow on the head.
What OF that?
After all, it is "only cat!"
There is no one without or within;
Not drop, not crumb in the
house.
My bones breaking through my poor
skin;
No strength to say Boo! to mouse!
What of that?
After all, it is "only cat!"
I was petted and loved by the fair;
Do they think of me now by the sea?
TIE pavement is burning and bare,
I am dying by inches, poor me!
What of that?
After all, it is "only cat!"
You have left me to die, but [ say
That when you have once made
friend,
And loved him a little each day,
You should love him on straight to
the end!
Think of that
Even should he be "Only cat!

CHAPTER XIII.
Becoming Suspicious.

/
So they made the great mistake oil
their lives. These two, who had been
married lovers, fancied they could be
friends. If it had not been so sad and
so pftiful, it would have been amusing
to have heard the conditions of that
friendship-th we're as numerous
as the preliminaries of an article OF
peace. They made all arrangements;
their friendship was to be of the purest
and most platonic nature; there was
to be nothing said which would remind
them of the past; he was to shake
hands withher when he came and when
he went; he might pay her visit twice
or three times a week; if they met,
they were to be on friendly terms;
they would discuss art, literature, and
anything and everything ecexpt
their own story; they we're to take an
interest in each others lives and for
tunes
81 shall take such pride in your ca
reer, Leone" said Lord Chandos, in all
good faith; cit will be the dearest part
of my life"
She held up one white finger with a
smile; that was trespassing on forbid
den ground He must not break the
new code of friendship by saying such
things.
eve are friends, not lovers, Lord
Chandos," she said, gently; "you will
annoy me if you forge that. The
dearer part of your life is at home"
He apologized for the words.
''I mean,'' he said, that I shall take
keenest interest in your career, and
watch it with PRIDE
'"That is right, as I shall yours,
Lord Chandos. I am proud of you
am proud when read your speeches;
it seems to me no other man ever spoke
so we'll. I am proud when Tread that the
rising man of the day is Lord Chan
dos, that England looks to Lord Chan
dos as a great power and promising
statesman. All, yes, am proud of you
when I read those things. Your face
your eager, hopeful eyes rise before me-
and say to myself, 'Ah, yes, he is a
genius, and the world knows it, It is
pleasant to have true friends, such as
we shall he to each other
eyes," he had answered her, with a
sigh; eve should have been foolish in
deed, Leone, to have deprived ourselves
of this, the only consolation left in life
for either of us. We shall be more
happy as friends, Leone; it would have
been too horrible to have been always
apart"
They hedged themselves round with
precautions; they we're to be so pru-
other as Lance and Leone; they were
never to sing old songs together; he
was not to go behind the scenes in the
theater, he was not to wait for her in
the evening She said to him, laugh
ing1y, that they ought to have these
conditions of friendship written down
as they write down the articles of wal
or the preliminaries of peace.
eve ought to have parchment strong
as parchment can be; but, Lord Chan
dos, we must keep our rules, no matter
what happens"
SO they intended, and neither Of
them had the faintest idea of ever de-
Waiting from he rules laid down. +
was better than nothing, spending 6
few hours with her each week was re-
freshing as an oasis in a desert; hi
eagerly looked forward too hose days
on which he was permitted to call, an(
before long these visits became chiefly
the event Of his life-he thought o.
little else.

CHAPTER XII.
''Let us be Friends. "

LANCE" said the sweet voice of
Lady Marion, plaintively, 81 am begin
ming to have a faint suspicion about
you"
Indeed. Your suspicious are not
faint as a rule. What is this?"
IT am afraid you are growing just
a little tired of me- said the beauti-
full queen of blondes.
"What makes you think 500" he
asked, trying to laugh, as he would
have done a few weeks since at such an
accusation.
Several reasons. You are not so at
tentive as you used to be; you do not
seem to listen when [ speak; you have
grown so absent-ninded; and then you
say such strange things in your sleep"
He looked grave for half a minute,
then laughed carelessly.
edo I? Then I ought to be ashamed
of myself Men talk enough in their
waking hours without talking in their
sleep. What do I say, Marion?"
He asked the question carelessly
enough but there was an anxious look
in his dark eyes.
ct cannot tell; I hardly remember"
sad Lady Chandos; 'Sbut you are al
ways asking some one to forgive you
and see you. Have you offended any
one very much, Lancer
"I hope not" he replied. Dreams
are so strange, and I do not think they
are often true reflections of our lives.
Have you any further reason for say
ing am gror-ing tired of you? 1t is
vexed question, and we may as we'll
settle it now as renew the argument. "
''No. I have no other reason. Lance,
YOU are not cross with me, dear?"
''No am not cross; but at the same
time, I must say frankly do not like
the idea of a jealous wife; it is very
distasteful to me-"
Lady Marion raised her eyes in won
der.
Jealous, Lancer" she repeated 81
am not jealous. Of whom could [ be
Jealous? never see you pay the least
attention to any one"
Jealous wives, as rule, begin 10y
accusing their husbands of cooling
love, want of attention, and all that
Rind of thing"
''BIlt, Lance" continued the beauti-
full woman, "are you quite sure that
there is no truth in what I say?"
He looked at her with a dreamy gaze
in is dark eyes.
'T am quite sure" he replied. 81
love you, Marion, as much as ever did
and have not noticed in the least that
I have failed in any attention toward
YOU. if have I will mend my ways"
He kissed the fair face bent SO low
ingly over him; and his wife laid he1
fair arms round his neck.
"I should not like to be jealous" she
said; 'but I must have your whole
heart, Lance. could not he content
with a share OF it.
''Who could share it with you," he
asked evasively.
'T do not know, only know that j.
must be all or none for me-" she an
swered. ''It is all-is it not, Lancer
He kissed her and would fain have
said yes, but it came home to him with
a sharp conviction that his heart ha(
been given to one woman, and one only
no other could ever possess it..
A few days afterward, when Lore
Chandos expressed a wish to go to thu
opera again, his wife looked at him il
wonder
"Again?" she said. "Why, Lance, i
is only two nights since you were
there, and it is the same opera; you
will grow tired of it,"
''The only amusement I really care
for is the OPERA" he said. ''I am grow

If it is not becoming or fails to please
her in some way she does not wear it
at all Her jewels are worm half a
million dollars. Her wedding presents
alone were estimated to be worth near
ly $1,000,000. Stables and fine laces are
another fad. One of the few articles
not burned in her trousseau is Rus
sian sable cape which cost $4,000.
She is extravagantly fond of fine
lingerie. The linen used in her gar
ments is woven especially. The
workmanship is exquisitely fine and
the articles are light as cobwebs. Mrs.
Vanderbilt, Jr., is quiet in her taste in
gowns and amusements. Her &C.
centricity is extravaganza. She likes
everything "to cost money" and show
that it has.
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont is a gracious
hostess and entertains her particular
chums every day at the hour when
every one walks on the cliffs. She is
the real uncrowned queen of society.
A born leader, she is as great a
strategist as she is diplomat. For
10 years Mrs. Belmont has been the
leader of the smart SET
Mrs. John Jacob Astor was the first
society woman to learn ballet dancing.
In her beautiful home, Elmhurst, she
has great ballroom. The floor is
highly polished, the walls and ceiling
artistically decorated with paintings
that recall thespian themes, the muses.,
etc.
Mrs Astor summoned Marwig. A
class was formed and the ladies, Co.'S
tuned in the regulation ballet skirts
and full tights, learned the steps the
premieres trip so lightly on the opera
bouffe stage. A class is now being
formed by Mrs Aston of eight young
children, who led by her little son,
will have lessons every week in the
Casino Theatre.
Mrs. Arthur Kemp weighs 200
pounds. "Baby Belle Nelson" friends
call her. She is only 20, very jolly,
and she has a tiara made like bird of
paradise in precious stones.
At the famous vegetable party given
by the Miss Hewitt, daughters of
Cooper Hewitt, Mrs. Hartman was the
sensation of the evening, dressed as a
pickaninny munching on huge slice
of watermelon. She created great
amusement and has been quite a pet
with the exclusive set ever since.
Few woman have the necessary moral
courage to hide pertty face beneath
a smudge of brown grease paint. Mrs.
Hartman was prior to her marriage
Miss Grace Carley and lived n
Tuxedo.
Mrs. Clarence Mackay is another
young matron who is beautiful, gifted
and much talked about. She has been
called the pretty witty, lucky Kitty
Duer Mackay since she married the son
of John w. Mackay. Her father-in-
law presented her with an enormous
when she was married. Some amusing
stories are told of how the land was
cleared of distractions. A graveyard
was bought, all the bodies removed
and a transformation scene effected,
incident upon the purchasing of the
entire land. This is the oldest we'd
ding gift a bride ever received.
Mrs Mackay is liberal in her ex-
penditures She often gives waiter
a tip of $40 if his service pleases her,
and she is equally liberal in other di-
rections.
Mrs. Harry McVickar is young,
pretty, witty, clever amateur actress,
who created sensation at the Cooper
Hewitt vegetable party by appearing
as an onion.-New York Journal.

The Way in China.

"a HINESE newspaper men are up
~ against it. Evidently they have
been a little too free in criticism
of the Legislature or the dowager en-
press or have offended somebody close
to the throne, for a decree has been
issued that they must be suppressed
The decree comes from the dowager
empress and is as follows:
"Since newspapers only serve to stir
up the people and to tend to overthrow
writer's of newspapers are the dregs
of the literary class, the existence of
such dangerous implements cannot re-
suit in good. We hereby order, there
fore, the complete suppression and ces-
sation of all newspapers that have here
tofore appeared in the country All
publishers and editors will be arrested
and punished with the utmost severity
of the law
They talk about Chinese being a weak
country, but the dowager empress of
China has done something which could
not be accomplished in this country
or in any country in Western Europe
without producing a revolution But
then there are only fifty-six newspapers
in the Chinese empire with a population
of 400000,000, while in the United States
of America with a population of u.s.
100000 there are $1,000 newspapers.

Take Them Both,

IN Washington at the present time
two propositions for canal to con-
meet the Pacific ocean with the Ca
ribbean sea are under consideration
One proposition is for the construction
of a canal through Nicaragua and Cos
ia Rica in accordance with a bill which
has been introduced in the house The
other proposition comes from stockhol-
ders of the Panama canal who have not
sufficient funds to complete the enter
prise which was started years ago, and
who offer this government a controlling
ownership in the canal providing it
will complete the enterprise
Reports show difference of opinion
in congress and in administrator cir
Giles in Washington as to which plan
should be adopted. The part of policy
