Katie married, but Harry remaine

Katie married, but Harry remained
bachelor, with the memory of a
sweet, fair haired, blue-eyed woman
enshrined in his heart. He could
never marry while the memory of her
remained.
One evening, while sauntering up
and down the beach of a little seaside
town, where he had run for a few
days vacation, he met a lady talking
to a small child. His heart beat
wildly. 1t was the one he worshiped
above all others.
"Miss Bruce?" he said.
NO." she said, with a smile, ex-
tending her hand, "Mrs. Lambert.
I have been widow two years. This
is my little boy" and she turned the
little y-headed child about.
81 did not know you were mar
ried," he stammered.
II married two weeks after I left
my uncle's."
"Thank heaven she is free p he
said to himself, drawing sigh of re-
lief.
He found her just as frank and win
ming as she had been on that event
full evening SO long ago. Day after
day he fingered at her side. Did she
love him? Sometimes he thought
she did. At last he could endure his
love no longer, and one evening by
the sea, under the pale moon, he told
her all. Told how the money had
come in an hour of need and helped
his little sister, and how her comfort
ing words had cheered him on through
all the years.
II think I loved you ever since
then," he said. "Now 1 know you
will think am a selfish man, for 1
freely confess l am not content with
my first present, but want the donor
for another. May I have herr"
We do not know whether she an
swered yes or no; but we are quite
certain we have heard Harry Walker
say he liked his last present best.

TECHNICAL TRAINING.

Women who are interested in the
teaching of the household arts some
times forget that there are many rea-
sons for such instruction, and that
good work can be done in several
lines.
The farmer often sows clover, not
for crop of clover hay, but that he
may plow it in when half grown, and
thus enrich the soil for other crops.
In like manner lessons in domestic
economy may be used to train the
| it is not pursued far enough to be of
much practical use in after life, though
every human being needs enough
knowledge about the composition
and preparation of food, and the laws
of hygiene, to enable him to live COM
fortably. Still this may be gained
in less time and by different methods
from those required to reach the skill
necessary for the production for the
general market.
The farmer again may raise a va
riety of fruits and vegetables for his
home table with far less attention
than is necessary for the few crops he
selects to turn into money. Any
man or woman who is to depend upon
special craft for daily bread needs
thorough technical training i'll that
direction. Yet much general educa-
ton may come through the mastery
of any art or science.
Then let us have classes III home
science for general mental develop
ment, and yet make such lessons of
practical value for the daily life +; and
then, also, let us have schools where
the technical training shall be given
in systematic fashion, and the COM
bining theory and practice. .-Luther-
an Observer.

he WOULDN'T TELL.

This argument by analogy or hy-
pothetical case is often dangerous.
A very stately and dignifed clergy
man used to tell a story illustrative of
the risk of this method. One of his
parishioners was much addicted to
drink, and one night the vicar met
him coming home in such condition
that he demonstrated with him on the
spot, and by way of clinching his ar
gument asked: "What would you
say if you were to see me reeling
down the road in state of hopeless
intoxication ?" The offender appear
ed to be deeply impressed and an
swered fervently: 81 wouldn't tell
a soul, sir"

1T Is STILL BARBARoUs.

1--WE have for many years past, y"
says The Mev O,IeanS States,
"been protesting against the practice
not only of the Northern, but even
of the Southern press, whose editors
should know better, of speaking of
the dogs used in pursuing criminals
or runaway slaves before the war-as
'bloodhounds.' 1t is extremely doubt
full if any of these wiseacres ever saw
a bloodhound but the term is so
bloodcurdling, you know. The dogs
used for this purpose are the common
fox or deer hounds, probably the
most timid of all dogs, and are re-
markable for their keenness of scent.
Their owner or trainer simply follows
their cry, and thus comes up with the
fugitive. The latter when overtaken
has no difficulty in keeping off the
dogs, which bay around him, but
keep at safe distance from knife or
stick until the hunter comes up"
