without my having heard him, for the
snow had frosty crust to it, but there
he was, and it was not long before
said to him:
did you come out here to see my
father?"
Old John did not look about, though
he continued to rub his hands. l re-
peated the question in louder voice,
but the result was the same. l looked
to see if he had an ak or a gun, but
nothing was in sight. So far as could
tell, he had not yet seen me. and, feel
ing a bit embarrassed over the situa-
ton, rose up and moved over to make
my presence known. l had started to
repeat my question, and my eyes were
full on him, when he dissolved. He
faded out of my eyes as wet finger
mark fades from a school slate, and
found myself looking at SNOW cover

there was none. l looked for the spot
where he had sat, but the snow had not
been disturbed in the slightest. l did
not have a fit of the shivers and run

thought the glare on the snow had in

l told 1t, but father didn't. He began
to question me very closely. and by
the time he had loaded the sled could
see that he took the matter seriously.
When we were ready to go, he asked
me to point out the exact spot where
old John had sat. This was easy
enough TO know, as my own tracks
were there in the snow. The snow on
the log was piled up and frozen hard,
but father soon cleared 1t off with the
ak. Then he pounded on the log, found
1t hollow and cut into 1t. He had hard
ly struck 20 blows when there came a
sound to show that the ak had struck
something besides wood, and five min
utes later we had old Parker's missing
gold out of the hollow log. 1t was in

American. In ENGLAND.

Whatever may be the points of con-
trast between US, there is no doubt that
Americans in ever increasing numbers
are settling In England. It is remark
able hoy many have made permanent
homes in London. They like to live
there.
When an American has made for
tune, he finds it almost Impossible to
live quietly in his Own country. There
is something in the very atmosphere of
the United States that makes people
wish to burn the candle at both ends.
Over here they may subdue the mean
descence to the veriest glimmer. But
chief among the attractions that this
country has for Americans is that they
can escape the newspapers. Here
wealthy persons can spend their money
as freely as they wish, and they still
remain private persons.
These are some of the reasons why
the American colony in the British me-
tropolis grows every year. But there
is a more subtle reason. Americans
love to come here The writer has
talked to very many Americans. and
almost all of them admit that in COM
ing to England they are coming to q
place for which they have great re-
spect and love, where they expect to
find everything finished and orderly
and quiet.-London Telegraph.

BEAUTIES OF A GLACIER.
Scenes That Are Likened to Vision
of a GI0rffied City,

Scenes That Are Likened to Visions
of Glorified City,
The destinations of glacier are as
witching as they are dangerous. Apos-
tolic vision of a crystal city glorified
by light that never was on land or
sea" was not more beautiful than
these vast ice rivers, whose onward
course is chroRicled, not by years and
centuries, but by geological ages, says
a British Columbia correspondent of
the New York Post. With white DOM
ed show cornices wreathed fantastic
as arabesque and with the CLASSY
walls of emerald grotto rejecting q
million sparkling jewels, one might be
in some cavernous dream world or
among the tottering grandeur of an an
cient city. The ice pillars and silvered
pinnacles, WHICH scientists call seracs,
stand like the sculptured marble of
temples crumbling to ruin. Glittering
pendants hang from the rim of blush
chasm. Tints too brilliant for artists
brush CLEAN from the turquoise of
crystal walls. Rivers that flow through
valleys of ice and lakes. hemmed in by
hills of ice. shine with an azure depth
that is very infnity's self.
In the morning, when all thaw has
been stopped by the nights cold, there
is deathly silence over the glacial fields,
even the mountain cataracts fall noise
lessly from the precipice to ledge in
tenuous, wind blown threads. But with
the rising of the sun the whole glacial
world bursts to life in noisy timult.
Surface rivulets brawl over the ice
with a glee that is vocal and almost
human. The gurgle of rivers flowing
through subterraanean tunnels becomes
q roar, as of a rushing, angry sea, ice
grip no longer holds back rock scree
loosened by the nights frost, and
there is the reverberating thunder of
the falling avalanche.

ghost ever legally known to a commu-

I was a boy of II when the family
emigrated from Ohio to Michigan and
settled in town of 1.500 people. There
had just died citizen named John
Parker, who was always referred to as
old Parker. He was one of the pio-
neers of the town, and his eccentrici-
ties had greatly retarded its growth.
No one ever learned where he came
from or anything about his private
life. He came alone. lived alone and
died alone. He was a queer looking
little old man, stoop shouldered, of
shambling gait. and there were days
when he refused to speak to any one.
He bought 200 town lots and then re-
fused to sell or lease. He built saw

To Raise Palms From Seeds.


To start palm seeds is an easy mat
ter. Place half a dozen seeds in a six
inch pot, covering them so they will be
about two inches below the surface.
They should then be well watered, and
the soil should be kept fairly moist con-
tinually until the little seedlings push
their way up. The soil should never be
allowed to dry out, nor should 1t be
kept soggy. Another good plan is to
place all the seeds in a box of moist
sand and examine them every few
days. Those that burst and begin to
sprout may be planted in fat boxes two
or three inches apart in good, rich,
sandy soil, or they may be potted if
well started in small pots.
1t should be borne in mind that the
embryo, or seed, leaves of palms are
usually entirely different in form from
the true, or character, leaves which
come later. In the embryo leaves the
form is long and narrow, swordlike and
usually with no divisions.-Robert R.
McGregor in Woman's Home Compan-
ion.

Mi.takensFor Shafts.

A story is told of pair Of feet that
must have been objects of great regard
In their day.
One day a party of men, including
Jackson, the man Of big feet, were
preparing to attend political meeting.
1t was soon discovered that there was
no way of conveying Jackson, as all
the vehicles were full.
Let me ride that horse over thereY
asked Jackson
There isn't man in the world that
can ride that animal. He'll work to a
cart or plow, but no one can stay on
his back"
't'll try him, anyway" And the deter
mined man instructed several men to
catch and hold the horse.
The animal plunged and kicked, but
finally Jackson secured seat in the
saddle.
Every one expected to see him dash
ed to the ground, but the horse looked
round, saw the mans feet and walked
peacefully away. He thought he was
between a pair of shafts.-London

A skeleton In Exerx closet.

The expression .Fhere is a skeleton
In every closet" is said to have its
origin In the fact that a soldier once
wrote to his mother, who complained
of her unhappiness, to have some sew
ing done for him by some ONE who
had no cares or troubles. At last the
mother found a woman who seemed
to have no troubles, but when she told
her business the woman took her to a
closet containing a skeleton and said:

TIL Stones Burned.

In 1901 Philip Ginler, the discoverer
Of coal at Summit Hill, near Mauch
Chunk, lived in a rough cabin in the
forests on the Mauch Chunk mountain.
While in quest of game for his family,
whom he had left at home without
food of any kind, his foot struck a
black stone. By the roadside not far
from the town of Summit Hill he built
a fire of wood and threw pieces Of the
supposed stone about it SO that the EN-
bers might last longer while he was
roasting fowl He was surprised
after a little while to see the stones
glow and retain their heat for long
time. He carried lot of the coal home
and burned it there. The few neigh
bors soon learned of the discovery, but
there was no mining to any extent in
Carbon county until after the war of
1872 had begun.

An old Custom,

Why is 1t the duty of the bride to cut
the wedding cakeq The fact is-at
least so a professor told me the other
day-that the Romans are at the bot
tom of it. The original Roman mar
rage was effected by the simple proc
ess of the bride and bridegroom break
Ing g cake of bread and eating 1t to-
gether. This developed into the bride
cake, and the bride cut it because it
was the duty Of the woman to prepare
food for the man. Young brides of to-
day who think it the height of i'll luck
not to cut their own wedding cake are
probably not in the least aware of
what they are symbolically pledgtng
themselves to, but they had better bear
in mind that If they wish to keep a
man in good temper they must not
forget to feed him.
