to do at the farm on Sabbath morning,
when they were apt TO sleep late, that
they had almost given up church going
entirely. 1t was another link out of
the chain which bound her girlhood
days to her present.
"Yes, do come" urged Mrs. Bonney,
seeing the look on Mrs. Dewey's face.
"The decorations will be lovely, and the
music especially fine"
Mr.. Dewey cast doubtful look at his
wife's best dress, doubly shabby in con-
trast with Mrs. Bonney's handsome
teagown, and he thought of his own
best suit, which had long seen its palm
lest days, as he said well. III see;
mebbe, if the weather is good"
He walked along in silence beside his
wife as they went out of the hospitable
home. That check in his pocket seemed
burning to get out and spenditself on
the things which Martha not only
wanted, but needed to> keep her life
fresh and young, her spirit sweet and
hopeful. He had intended to add it to
his already satisfactory bank account,
hut as he looked down a his wfe's face
his mind changed.
They were passing large dry goods

10 paper of pins, was sold. Lets go
in, Martha" he said, awlwardly. you
said you wanted to look at some car
petin', and say, whilst you are about it.,
l guess you'd better pick out a new
dress and some Easter fxin's. That
bunnit you've got on looks sort o.
ragged"
"Oh. Lon" the little woman came
near TRANSMITTING the entire street by
throwing her arms around his neck
then and there, but he opened the door
hastily. w
Get all you want, Martha, and I'll
foot the BILL" he said. 'I'm going
down to the tailor shop, for il we go
to that Easter meeting we want to look
a leetle mite as other folks do"
Martha's heart sang for JOY all the
way home. for wasn't there roll of
the loveliest carpet she had ever
dreamed of possessing under the seat,
and in her lap n bonnet and dress pat
tern which she would not trust out of
her own hands?

precision of an automatic machine.
His wife came in as she waited, bril-
liant, graceful creature whose gar
ments were redolent with the perfume
of rich fur and odorous sachet powders.
a bunch of carnations was pinned to
her cloak. "See what Bathers gave me
when i ordered my Easter lilies" she
said, smilingly to her husband, then
noticing the hungry, wistful look on
the little woman's face in the Office
chair, q sweet thought came to her, and
unpinning the flowers, she laid three
of the fullest and richest in Martha's
hand.
''Oh, thank you," cried Martha, her
voice trembling with eager delight.
I'm so fond of flowers, and don't get
any time to raise 'em."
She was still fondling the blossoms,
and inhaling their rich perfume when
Mr. Dewey came in, rubbing his hands
in high good humor.
"Well, Martha, l reckon we'd better

given him. 1--WE got some irunnin'

"Come over to my house first and get
lunch" urged the miller. Mrs.
Dewey looks too weary to sit around
the stores, and my wife would be de-
lighted to meet her, know"
Mr.. Bonney had hearty, persuasive
way which was hard to resist, and few
moments later Martha was taking OFF
her bonnet in Mrs. Bonney's cosy sit
ting-room, in response to n generous
welcome.
Mary Bonney was one of those sweet,
gracious women whose very presence
means peace and good will, and Martha
looked at her obviously as she moved
about in her pretty home, giving an or
der here, offering a suggestion there,
and all the time smiling welcome to
the tired little figure in the big easy
chair, a luxurious change from the jolt
ing of the high-seated wagon.

ToO MUCH POOR TIMBER.
Pianks In the Popocratic Struc-
ture That bulge and
Buckle.

The platform written in Nebraska
by Mr.. Bryan for himself to stand on,
having been measured for Bryan and
not for the democratic party, does not
exactly suit the latter. Complaint is
made by prominent democrats that
there are too many planks and of not
the right kind of timber.
\ well-known democrat of Iowa
says that organs platform means
that the republican majority of Co.,
GOO in that state will be repeated.
Former Postmaster General Don NJ.
Dickinson said the other night:
81 had hoped that the democratic party
would be allowed to write its platform this
year. When the Lincoln party begins by
readopting the Chicago platform entire,
and then proceeds to reassert IL in particu-
lars, and we are given to understand that
this platform is to be offered to the demo-
Gratis later on, perhaps we are to be dis =
appointed"
Senator Daniel of Virginia, said
that as it was Il joint democratic and
populistic platform, he did not believe
that he cared to express any opinion
about it.
Even Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
I,ryan's public hacker, objected to the
plank on the initiative and referen-
dunn. He also doubted the propriety,
if the Filipinos were given independ-
ence as Bryan proposes. of guaran-
teeing to protect them against any
and all corners.
Oh, what a tangled web they weaved
when populsm they achieved, and left
their party, north and south, to be a
trump for Bryan's mouth. - Troy

Eager for Gold.

Nicaragua boasts volcano called
Misaya, about which curious but
hardly credible story is told. When,
in 1922, the Spaniards overrun the
state, the volcano was very lively.
Many of the victorious Spaniards
thought that the raging fire at the
foot of the crater was neither more
nor less than purest gold in molten
state. The puzzle was how to get it.
But at last few men, more foolish
and more venturesome than their
mates, had themselves lowered down
until, by means of an iron chain with
n bucket at the end of it, they could
reach the fiery mass OF course, as
soon as the bucket neared the sur

the silly fellows, when drawn up,
were half dead from the heat and the
poisonous smoke.-Cincinnati Enquir-

Enster In Russia.

The early morning hours of Easter
day are given over in Russia to re-
ligious observances, but after ten
o'clock the day becomes one OF con-
VITALITY. The practice of New Years
calls is observed in Russia at Easter,
and everything is fun and jollity. On
the streets gayly dressed men and
women salute each other, and exchange
decorated Easter eggs. Formerly every
one enjoyed the privilege of kissing
whom he met, but this practice has
lately fallen into disuse.

SAM HOUSTON'S SECRET.
why lie Left His Wife and Joined the
CherOkees Is Mystery to
This Day.

A mystery in which the American
people were once deeply concerned
was that which Swallowed the life of
one of the most remarkable char
acters of the country. In 1929 Samuel
Houston, or. as he called and signed
himself, Sam Houston, was gov
crnor of Tennessee. 1t was in the
midst of n campaign for reelection to
the gubernatorial chair that Tenncs-
see was startled by report that he
had resigned his office. He had been
married to the daughter of an in
fluential family; three months after
ward she returned to her fathers
house. and her husband resolved to
pass the rest of his life in the wilder
ness.
Houston betook himself to the tribe
of Cherokees in the Indian territory;
he adopted their costume, appearing
in all the trappings Of an Indian
brave, letting his hair grow down his
back and visiting Washington with n
buckskin hunting shirt yellow leg
gins, huge blanket and turkey feath-
crs around his head. No one could in
duce him to reveal the secret of his
metamorphosis and his abandonment
of tha ways and habits of civilization.
He married again after he emerged
from his Indian life, and he lived to
he an old man, dying in the midst of
the civil war, but no one was ever
able to persuade him to unlock the
mystery of his life. Nor would his
first wife, who also married again,
throw any light on the mystcry.-Wil-

In discussing the tariff bill for
Porto Rico in the senate April 2, SEN
ators Cullom and Depew spoke in part
as follows: ~
"Some of our friends on the other side
OF the chamber, because the government
first collected this sum from the Porto
Ricans put 1t In the treasury, and then, I'M
der act of congress, authorized the presi-
dent to take II out and give II back to them,
complain and criticlse the performance.
''If II went back to the same parties who
paid II, who were, In fact, part OF the
sugar and tobacco trusts, II would seem TO
be useless performance. The fact Is, 1t
was paid by few persons. importers con-
nected with the sugar and tobacco mo-
nopolies. One of the firms who paid
part of this tax of 81 00O. 900 is now suing the
United States to recover the amount paid.
which suit shows that those great corpora
lions, trusts and monopolies, instead Of
being in favor of the proposed tax arc
really opposed to 1t and advocate free
trade between Porto Rico and the United
States.
''The fact Is, this amount collected on
the imports from Porto Rico, which was
largely paid by the bankers and agents of
the American Sugar Refining company and
the tobacco trust, as | am informed. goes
back to relieve distress and help build up
that country" y
