lished 30 miles from their own home, In
the pretty village of Mapleton. Lace
curtains hung in the front window Of
the parior over the saloon, a canary
swung in his gilded cage, flow ering
plants frightened every room, and the
babyl Moily's heart failed her for
very thankfulness, as she looked about
her on the afternoon of the day when
all was completed to her satisfaction.
To be sure, her happiness had some
drawbacks. She shrank a little from
the wild merriment which went on be-
low by ten o'clock Of every evening
But Mike intended to keep "a dacent
house." so all was quiet by II o'clock
and the lights put out for the night.
She had another grievance which she
did not mention to Mike. The first
time she took Baby Bernard out IN his
carriage, looking so rosy and happy, a
a little girl had rushed up to see the
baby. An old sister called TO her:
Nellie, Nellie, come here this minute, or
III tell mamma"
"Oh, Jennie, let me see his little fat
hands. He is so sweet" urged Nellie.
"Why can't /, Jennie?"
Jennie answered, In half whisper;
Don't you know, they keep the saloon
now where Pat Hynes used to be?
Mamma wouldn't want you to have
anything to do with folks that sell
liquor"
Molly cheeks famed, and she
wheeled the carriage rapidly in the
other direction. 1t was a new expert
ence 10 her. As the wife Of Mike Muir
raw. whose fresh vegetables met with a
ready sale from all who knew his bright
face and obliging ways, she had been
respected in the rural community
where her lot had been cast. As the
wife OF Mike Murray. the saloon-keep
er. it seemed she must expect a widely
different reception.
But. as time went on, Mike made
money. His bank account grew. After
a month or two the saloon was not
closed by II O'Clock. When she ques-
toned Mike. he was cross 10 her for the
first time. "What a fool ye'd be, havin'
me pni fellys out just whin the moneys
rollin' In hand over fist. Sure, it's

that way
"But. Mike. We promised"
"shut up. will We? The house an the
baby for you. an the business for me.
Remember that. if ye know when it's

with a threatening gesture Of the hand,
Molly smeiled liquor on her husbands

MORAL DARING.

"Dare to be a Daniel" And some

has made a reputation for itself round

others thought it impossible, Col.

commanding general: How long can
you hold that pontY with the mem
orable reply: Till we are mustered

that their old neighbors in the west
wished to show them honors. And
1t so happened that they were the
guests for whom was spread one Of
the most expensive feasts ever pre-
pared west of Chicago. There was
wine galore and spirits in abundance.
But a little company of these officers,
young men for the most part, fresh
from the university when the call for
troops was made, sat together. Be
fore each plate were five wine glasses
for five varieties of champagnes and
liquors. Not one Of those glasses was
touched. That was a braver thing TO
do than charging the Filipinos. That
is the right stuff out of which to
make heroes. The man who can con
troll his own spirit, said the proverb
writer, SIS greater than he who car

their health, their character and the

the wire over the cottage OF an old
