AN INDIANA ROMANCE.
Fifty Years Ago rhoebe Meeks Lef1
Her Sweetheart and Has Ever
Since Been q Recluse. .

II Phoebe Meeks should open her
door and look out upon the town of
Brookville, Ind, she would not recog-
nize it. Forty-six years have wrought
many changes, and it has been that
long since Phoebe Neeks retired to her
home and closed the doors behind her.
Fifty-six years ago she was a fresh
and blooming girl; now she is an old
woman and dying. Still the mystery
| of her long seclusior is unsolved.
There have been well to do Meekses
ever since the town of Brookville was
founded. In 1885 Phoebe Meeks was
the belle of the village: Her father
owned much rich land, and Phoebe's
gardens about her home were the talk
| of everyone. In it the merriest of gar
den parties were held, and Phoebe
was a most charming hostess.
Hadley Johnson had neither money
nor lands, nor family tradition: yet
he sought the dainty Phoebe, and de-
clared his love for her.. Phoebe wore
a sparkling ring on her finger, and
| after the engagement was announced
there was one round of pleasure.
One day there was Sunday school
picnic and all of Brookyille went.
When the party returned home Had
ley johnson and Phoebe Meeks walked
| together in advance of the other
strollcrs, and found a seat in wood
ed spot to rest. Suddenly Phoebe left
the side of her lover and presently a
little white figure was seen fitting
down the road. This was the last time
that Phoebe Meeks was seen by the
| villagers.
For four years Hadley johnson
stayed in Brookville, and every day
J sent a pleading message to his sweet
heart to see him, but she would moi
receive him. Then the disappointed
young man went away.
The Meeks home that had been the
scene of so much gayety began to b<
regarded by the villagers in the light
of tomb. Travellers journeyed to the
place to see where the pretty young
! girl had shut herself up.
| Some years after Phoebe's retire

Old-Fashioned Raised Cake.

An old-fashioned recipe for raised
cake is the following: Two cupfuls
light sponge, one cupful sugar, one
half cupful butter, two well-beaten
eggs, one cupful stoned raisins,
Toured, half nutmeg, grated, one
half teaspoonful soda dissolved in a
little water. Make into loaf or
loaves, and when light bake in rather
slow oven, as it scorches easily. If
desired, cover it with a milk icing, for
which use ten teaspoontuls sweet
milk, 1H cupfuls sugar. Boil six
minutes, take from stove and stir un-

depleted that it was necessary for the
Meeks sisters to do something to add
to the income. The spacious library
was opened as millinery shop, and
many customers went to it with the
hope of seeing Phoebe and learning
something of the reason for her mys-
terious action. But there was no sign
of the woman except in the dainty
touch that was shown in the bonnets
of her trimming.
The news of the misfortunes of the
Meeks sisters reached Hadley Johnson,
and he went back to the old home.
Phoebe's sister met him, and well
coined him, but without glimpse of
his old sweetheart he returned to the
new home he had made for himself in
the west.
This man was one of the presiden-
tial electors from the state of Utah at
its first national election. Last year
he died, never having married, and
never having divulged-if he knew
Phoebe Meeks' reason for stunning
him and all the balance of the world.
Professors of the Brookville college
have boarded in the Meeks home, and
they have told of the remarkable in
tellect of Phoebe Meeks, who read and
studied all the deepest books she could
borrow from them. The dainty handi:
work of the strange recluse has found
it's way many times to the Woman's
exchange, and when a magazine was
started in Brookville Phoebe Meeks
sent to the editors Office q beautiful

deaths that had occurred in the coun.
ty for more than half a century, which
showed that she had kept posted upon

IRISH TURNS AND TWISTS.
Some LauRhable Expressions Uttered
by Natives of the EN-.
ePald Isle.

The author of Irish Life and Char.
acter' says truly that one has only to
mix with an Irish crowd to hear many
laughable expression, quite innocent
ly uttered AS the duke and duchess OF
York were leaving Dublin in 1897, amid
enthusiastic cheering, an old woman
remarked:
"Ah! Isn't it the fine reception
they're gettin', goin' away7''
In 1892, Dublin university celebrated
it's tercentenary, and crowds of visitors
were attracted to the city. Two la.
borers, rejoiced at the general pros.
perity, thus expressed their feelings.
"Well, Tim," said one, "thim tarcin.
tinaries does dale for the thrade o1
Dublin, and no mistake"
"Oh, faix they dol" said the other
"And whin, with the blessin' of God
we get home rule, sure we can have as
nanny of thin as we plase."
An old woman, seeing man pulling
young calf roughly along the road
exclaimed:
"Oh, you bla'guard! That's no way
to thrate fellow-crather.'
"Sure," said laborer to young lad
who was urging him to send his chill
dren to school, I'D do anything fol
such sweet, gintlemanly lady as your.
self"
Again, the laborers on large estate
decided that it would be more conven.
ientfor them if they could be paid every
week instead of every fortnight. One
of their number was sent to place
their proposition before the land agent
and this was his statement:
If you plase, sir, it's me desire, and il
is also livery other mans desire, that
we resave our fortnight's pay livery

An exasperated sergeant, drilling &
squad of recruits, called to them al

and look at yourselves. It's fine line
we're keepin'. isn't it?"
