 "You are surprised to see me, Miss Dwight" said Louise, taking the seat Rhena had placed for her. 'I am Miss Duncan, Stuart Duncan's sister,"
 'Yes, I know you are. have seen you walk past the hall several times,' ''' said Rhena quietly. She had not the remotest idea of the purpose of Louise's call.
 'We are going to have little com- pany at the house next week, and we would be glad to have you come," said Louise boldly, looking straight at Rhe. na. T thought it would be less formal to call and invite you personally than to send note.'
 Rhena looked over at her caller in the utmost astonishment. She did not know Louise at all. She had never met her n society in the old days be- fore leaving everything for the army, and she thought Louise, knowing her story, might suppose she would possi- ply enjoy taste of the old life again. The face in the fur. trimmed hat look ed very pretty, and Rhena felt kindly toward 1t.
 ''Thank you" she answered gently. !"I appreciate your kindness, but it is impossible. cannot go. have shut the door upon my old life. I do not wish to open it again" She was silent, as if memory claimed her thought.

The distress and suffering in miners Families are increasiHg very fast"
 "I'm sorry ysu cannot cone," said Louise. She rose slowly to 70. s'Stu- art speaks of you occasionally, and thought erhaps 1t would please him to invite you.' The girl watched Rhena carefully.

Woman's Strategy.

A good citizen who is a wh olesale grocer in large way, but no lover of music, was dragged to ''Tannhauser" the other night by his wife, a stout lady in diamonds and a decollete gown. About the middle of the third act the worthy man fell fast asleep, and appraised. the theater of his con- dition by loud snores. His good dame was disnayed at his behavior, and dug him sharply in the ribs with her elbow. The only response was a grunt and a snore louder than ever. Persons in the neighborhood began to turn their heads to see the cause of this disturbance, and the good wife became almost frantic. Throw ing aside attempts at concealment, she shook him violently by the shoul- ders. He stirred, but did not wake. In desperation she used her last ex- pedient.
 "Louis," she said, in a thrilling wisper: "Louis, it's past seven o'clock"
 Louis sat bolt upright, as though he had been electrified. He gazed about, and saw where he was. Wrath shone dully in his eye.
 You fooled me- he said. "Why?'' Before she could answer the worthy man was fast asleep sand snoring fortissimo, nor did he awake before the end of the act.San Francisco Bu11efin

I almost hesitate to say to you two what have felt as have known of the rich and petted men and women Of society wasting their money by the millions on their own narrow. selfish pleasure while thousands of the chill dren of the street and the mine never heard any sound sweeter than a coarse note from an untrained voice or felt the beauty and perfume of anything better than dusty weed by the road side. These wants, these differences between the rich and the poor and the miracles of pleasure for my brethren and my own consciousness of helpless ness in the matter have almost made me at times a hater of men, a blas- phemer against God and all the uni verse.

 There was silence in the room Andrew went over to the window and ! looked out. He came back to the ta- 1 ble at once and without word cut 1 half q dozen of the choicest roses from his plants, hastily rolled them up in a paper and without word of explana 1 tion rushed out of the room.

CUNNING PACK MULE.
He Was an old Fellow and an Adepn at the Questionable Art of
 ShirkfnE HiS Duty.

"A pack mule that has seen servicQi gets very cunning" said an old soldier4 we had one old fellow that had beeH in the army for 12 or Is years, and hai knew as much as most of the men. He was occasionally used as leader, and was very fond of the job, because in that position he had no load to earrys. To see him mancuvering to get to tha front was very comical.
 The regulation pack weighs 200 pounds, and the mules soon learn to size it up to a nicety, refusing to carrU anything more. For that reason theN are blindfolded while being loaded, else they would be continually looking, around to see whether the pack was ins side the limit. :,
 "On one occasion we received cofs fin to be sent to siboney, and the old mule referred to was selected to carrV it. The coffin weighed only 25 pounds, but he must have concluded from it1 size that it weighed ton, and be imms- diately began to groan in the most pits ifu1 manner, exactly like human be. ing. F
 When the coffin was put on his back he pretended to stagger, and sAEg0s1 down as if he were carrying ten-insk | gun.

Cat. on ocean Steamers.


 Every large ocean liner carries from six to ten cats, these being appor- tioned to various parts of the ship, as we'll as appearing on the vessels books for rations. Particular en- ployes are detailed to feed these cats daily, and when in port one man at tends to them. There is promotion for pussy on board ship. Ordinarily, unsociable cats are kept in the hold, in the steerage, in the forecastle, but eat that is amiable and clever is given the run of the first or second class saloons. When at sea the cats attend to the mice and rats, but after all can do little more than scare them out of the parts of the ship ire quented by passengers. In port the ship is visited by professional rat catcher, who frequently captures 800 of these pests. The cats always ac- company the rat catcher, and pick up the stragglers.

Services in the Various Churches Yes
 terday-Accident-other News.
 Services were held at the various churches yesterday as usual. At St Johns church mass was celebrated at S:3o by the Rev J. H. O'Donnell. A
 collection was taken up for the benefit of the negro and Indian sufferers. The attendance in all of the other churches was noticeably large. .sne Rev Mr Holmes, pastor of the Congregational
 church, presided at the evening meet ing at the NJ. E. church. Notes.
 The Hebrews who come up from Waterbury each week for the purpose
 of buying meat, met with an accident last Friday afternoon which might
 have proved serious. The men had
 gotten their usual load of meat and were driving at rapid rate toward Waterbury,. When near the Smith
 factory the horse fell down, throwing both to the ground, one receiving a bad cut over the eye. Considerable of the meat was also spoiled. Now that one of our youngsters has been sent to the reform school for truancy. it is hoped that he rest of those who were formerly in the habit of doing the truancy acr, will attend school more regularly. and save them selves. and their parents further anX- iety and trouble.
 At the recent fair given by the Wa tertown fire department, only about ! S2OO was made. This is a compara-
 lively small sum, as compared with the amount made on fairs given by the fire companies in the surrounding towns. All of the articles that were
 convassed on were purchased with money from the treasury and none giv- en. as is usually the case. The condition of Edna Brouette who l is ill with pneumonia remains about 1 the same. A trained nurse is now in
 attendance.
 ! Charles Brewster has severed his
 connection with the Heminway X Sons ! Silk company, where he held the posi- ton of shipping clerk.
 l The various schools about town re- opened this morning, after vacation since last Thursday.
 James Collins is laid up with sore
 wrist, which he obtained while at | work harvesting ice for N. J. Nun 1 son.
 1 The local postoftice is now void of
 advertised letters, the first time ID
 many months.
 1 1T is said that youngsters who ought 1 to be in school are being hired into To-
 cal factories. Boys who are in reality
 but Il or 12 years of age call at the 1 factories. give their age as 16 and are
 readily hired. It may be wise for the
 truant officer to look into this matter l and see that these children are taken
 out and sent to school.
 l Yesterday was one of the collest days that we have had this winter. | The thermometer registered about It degrees during the entire day. A number of the Taft alumni were visitors at the school over Sunday. Professor Burr and son of New
 York city spent yesterday in town.
 Our Sunday news dispenser, John Coligan. says that yesterday was the coldest Sunday that he has experienced thus far this year.
 The condition of R. \. Deland. who is laid up with the grip, is much inn
 proved.
 We think it about time that some- thing is done regarding the establish i ing of a waiting room at the terminus of the Oakville trolley line.
