Should and Would.

The verb Should" expresses duty,
supposition; as you should answer
the letter.; eff it should rain tomor-
row, 1 shall not be able to keep my
promise" 1t is also used to express
an opinion doubtfully or modestly, as,
81 should think So" would" prop
erly implies volition, but, like should,
is frequently used as a simple future,
dependent on a verb of past time, as
He said it would rain today" There
is the same difference between would
and should, as there is between will
and shall when used with the past
lenses. Would promises or threatens
in the first person and simply foretella
in the others, Should simply foretells
in the first person, and promises or
threatens in the other persons. When
the second and third persons are rep
resented as the subjects of their own
expressions shall foretells, as in the
first person; as, "He says he shall be
a loser by the bargain" Will in such
instances promises as in the first per
son; "You say that you will be pres
ent."-Montreal Herald and Star.

me.

Minerva looked at me thoughtfully
as she leisurely munched a blackberry
and drew another from the stem, hold
ing it poised d~aintily between her
slender forefinger and thumb. At last
she replied, do you know, perhaps it's
strange, Socrates, but it seems to me
that I never exactly struck a place in
my life"
If Minerva has a fault, a thing which
I am usually inclined to doubt, it is
that at times she has a tendency to
take some of my remarks rather toe
literally. / am always careful not tc

A Happy Boy.

Oldenburg, ILL.,, Sept. 2d:-The doc
tors all failed in the case of little thir-
teen-year-old Willie Kell, who suffered
with acute rheumatism.
For over three months the poor little
fellow suffered excruciating torture.
His father, who had done everything
he could think of, saw a new Rheuma-
tism Remedy advertised-Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. FIe bought some, and soon
his little son showed signs of improve
ment. Three boxes cured him COM
pletely, and he has not a symptom OF
rheumatism left.
This miraculous cure of a case which
had been given up by the physicians
has electrified Madison County, and
Dodd's Kidney Pills are a much-talked-
of medicine.

WOman'S Consistency.

Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
We were spending the summer at an
old Pennsylvania farmhouse, just out
side a village, shut of from the rest
Of the world by towering p~ine-srested
mountains. In front of the wide porch
Tippled a little run" as the natives
called it, spanned by a broad foot-log,
with a rickety hand-rail on n side.
Minerva called the place Beersheba,
and l had persuaded myself that this
stream was the Brook Besor. The lone,
conical-shaped mountain, towering up
at the south, straight in front of us, we
called Mt. Sinai; and the farmer had
informed us that the long range at
the west was the 'Pisgah mountings."
'If this Biblican atmosphere doesn't
cure you, Minerva" | remarked, as l
carefully established my invalid in the
long, low steamer chair, 'it'n do some
thing else, I'm thinking. Do you know
I discovered this morning that that big
gray cat which has taken such a fancy
to you is named Ebenezer, and the
horse which pulled us from the station
is Hosea!"

There Is Something In Luck.

While most successful men are in
clined to credit their achievements
wholly to industry, frugality and de-
termination, leaving out chance or luck
altogether, there can be no doubt that
some men are more favorable in op-
portunities than others. At any rate,
there is some consolation in this view
of the earnest man who has not made
waht the world calls a success. 1t
should lead him to take life more con-
tentedly and be satisfied to accept the
issue, after having done his best.-In-

At last she opened them and looked
at me wickedly.

specimens that we are so apt to meet
in the whirl of society are merely the
overtones-the products OF a useless
degree of refinement. She represents
not so much an Individuality as a tyne.
Love with such a girl is an instinct.
And it is from instincts that we get the
highest form of poetic expression.
Don't you think so, lover"
No answer came.
"A nature of this type could no more
think of treachery than of suicide.
Any promise made would be fulfilled
without a moment of hesitation. The
very idea of non-fulfllment would
never-could never-come into such a
mind. The Biblical atmosphere with
which we have clothed this place is a
fitting habitat for such a soul. She
would be faithful and true in the face
of anything. She stands for-she is
an epitome of the constancy of woman.
Don't you agree with me, Minerva?"
No answer.

replied with a little yawn, but I can

"Oh!'
Three weeks from. that day Minerva
and 1 again sat on the long porch near
the h~oneysuckle vine. Two figures
crossed the broad foot-log spanning
the Brook Besor. The f1rst-a stout
girl dressed in a scant white gown with
a bright green ribbon about her waist;
the second, a small, dark man with a
flaming tie at his throat.
AS they approached us I retreated
into the shadow of the hallway. Re
becca paused in front of Minerva, and
taking the man by the sleeve brought
him forward.
1--WE were married this mornin'," she
announced, a dull red overspreading
her freckled face. This is my man,
Dan Smith, Mis- Rogers"
The man bowed in an awkward fash
ion and touched gingerly the little
white hand which Minerva extended
to him, and then muttering something
about "seein' to hookin' up the horse
shambled around the corner of Ahe
house. ~
But, Rebecca," began Minerva, as
he disappeared. 'it's queer. No doubt
l was mistaken, but | was quite sure
that the boy you told me about was a

ten!"
From somewhere within the house
came the faint sounds of a soprano
voice slowly singing:
Let not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast"
Above us the branches of the great
elm tree brushed gently against the pi-
azza roof. The scent of the honey
suckle was in the air. The water rip
pied on increasingly. In some mex
plicable way it all went to my head
like wine.
Minerva ran her fingers through my
hair soothingly. l closed my eyes and
settled myself more comfortably
against her knee. l got to thinking
hazily how much more appropriate
the name Minerva was to her than her
real name elsie" The ripple of the
Brook Besor sounded in my ears as
the tinkling of a fountain. l dreamed
that Minerva and l were wandering
hand in hand through Palestine. At
last ] became aware that something
mora than the sound of the Brook Be
sor was in my ears. I lay quite still,
not exerting myself to>open my eyes.
Finally l realized that the sound was
that of a feminine voice and came
from somewhere the other side of Min
erva.
Eyes, ma'am," the voice was saying,
I'm engaged. Jake give me this ring.
And we're goin' to be married in about
two weeks. An 1 was just a thinking
that seems you're from the city, as
how mebbe you'd advise me a little
about my dress. See here"-and 1 could
hear the rustic of paper-"T got these
samples. l sorter had a leanin' to-
ward this here lilock, or else that there
pea-green, but l thought mebbe you'd
know better what was just the thing"
Minerals voice broke in, her clear,
sweet tones in pleasing contrast to the
nasal twang of the other. Don't you
think that a white dress would be
nicer? always prefer brides dressed
in white"
A vision of a slender figure, gowned
in pure white with a shimmering veil
over all, and carrying a cluster of
white b~ride-roses, came into my mind
and l did not hear the conversation
which followed. Soon there came a
shrill call from the house: "Rebecky!
Re-beck-y-y!"
/ reused myself just in time to see
a stout figure clad in blue calico van
ish around the corner, her heavy shoes
resounding on the bare boards.

Poultry Briefs.

Ground or cut bone is so useful to
poultry raisers that it is something of
a marvel that more bone cutters and
grinders are not in use. The attempt
to use commercial meals for freshly
prepared bone can hardly be called a
success; for the very obvious reason
that the more useful Of the products
do not keep we'll in anything but the
coolest weather. At some seasons of
the year it is impossible to get beef
meal, as the dealers will not handle it
when it is likely to spoil on their
hands. But the man that has a ma
chine for reducing bone to edible size
is Independent. He can nearly always
obtain bones that have on them much
meat and these furnish a bone for sup
plying a little nitrogen and a good deal
lof lime and phosphorus. Around most
homes bones have no use. Yet they
can be made a source Of valuable food
supply.
