Let us hide behind that clump of
blackberry bushes and watch the
parent birds as they come to feed
their young. There comes the
father robin now; you can distin-
guish him from the mother by his
darker plumage. You will notice
that in coming with the food he
alights ON a particular twig, hops
along particular branch and alights
on a particular sideAof the nest II
you watched him for a week yot
would probably see him approach
the nest in precisely the same way
each time. Now, here comes the
mother-a lighter-colored bird, with
gray on the back of her head. You
see that she reaches the nest by
quite a different route and alights
upon the other side of It, and she
will do this over and over again
Like men and women, birds acquire
habits which they rigidly adhere to,
unless something happens to prevent
them. - Ernest Harold Baynes in
Woman's Home Comnanion.

When he went back to the Office,
several hours later, with the step of
one who walks on air, he found a
number of books scattered in most
unseemly disorder on his table.
Really, John is growing insupport-
able" he said to himself. "A1l these
books lying around-but remember
now, was studying about--oh, yes
diphtheria. Well, there's plenty of
time for that"

'Does It matterq NoI7 she replied,
as she went out.
But he had seen her eyes.
He sat down at the table and
looked at the page he had been read
ing last-looked at It until the after
noon had waned and night had set
In. It Is singular fact that while
the eyes Of the body can go patiently
readiug lines and paragraphs and
pages Of learned treatises, the eyes
OF the mind can be looking steadily
at gray-eyed girl with her fingers
twined together in her lap. True.
here is this investigation carried on
successfully to this interesting point;
but-why was II that she went away
so soon?-nhd her eyes-now why
should there have been tears there2
And She would go away and marry
the rich mamie had advised II.
Well, why should It concern him2
The doctor suddenly arose, leaving
his books scattered on the table, and
went out into the street for air
his office was insufferable. Where
he was going he did not know. He
was not conscious Of any resolution
until he found himself in the door of
Miss Willoughbys little sitting-room,
and a girl with a very pale face rose
up from the chair before the fire.
Her eyes were wide with fear-what
was he going TO say? What had he
discovered2
81 was forced to come" he said
humbly. 81 know you win be angry
perhaps you win be amused at the
fact that Ia poor student, a physi-
clan who has his thoughts on you,
when you have an opportunity to
make a wealthy and distinguished
marriage. I knew at the FIRST that
there was no hope-yet / felt that I
must come. It only remains for you
to tell me so, yourself, and then /
will 60 back to my work and have
done with the dream"
No, it was a mistake about her
having been pale; for when she
leaned on the mantel with her face
turned to the fire she was as rosy as
the morn.
"You are too eonsiderate TO tell
me outright" he said; 'but 1 see
what must be. Of course it is in
sane-the idea that you could take
poverty, and the struggle for life
with me, when wealth and ease are
offered you. 1t would not be possi-
bic, unless you loved me so devotedly
that your love would set all other
considerations aside"
He paused and gazed at her miser-
ably; and without turning she half
whispered a faint suggestion.

He turned white and leaned against
the table for support.
"Learn-learn to love me?" he
asked, in daze. ut Is impossible. .

Silver GulCh Ranch,

which will be presented at the Opera
House on Thursday evening, Aug.
%, under the auspices of the G.. A.
R. and w. R. c., is probably the
most successful play that has been
produced in this country for years
past. It is military drama, patri-
otto and purely American in senti-
ment, and intensely thrilling from
the rising of the curtain to the final
drop, amid bugle calls and the
c1ashing of arms. It is a play that
requires a large number Of actors
and numerous stage accessories,
and those who are to take part will
spare no pains to stage it in an ac-
oeptable manner. The personnel is
excellent, comprising the best dra-
matte talent of our town. The play
will be interspersed with new and
catchy songs and musical special
ties. The scene of the play is laid
in the trackless desert of cactus and
alkali, that lies under the shadow
of the Sierras, where each man is a
law to himself, and where Custer
and his brave men were done to
DEATH amid savage howlings and
cruel torture. 1t is a drama that
appeals to American hearts, and we
predict for it grand success, ar
tistically, as we'll as financially.

spoke with great earnestness and
feeling on the text 90, Death where
is thy sting, O Grave where is thy

Y. P. S. c. e,

During the summer months these
vesper services are held every Sun
day evening at 1890, in place of the
regular Sunday evening service.
You are invited to attend.
A very interesting meeting was
conducted last Sunday evening with
out a leader. The topic was GA
Suggestion in Addition" Several
good suggestions were given by
Mr.. Tracy in his closing address.
Some Of the most striking were:
"The process Of addition is the char
acteristic of the Christian life" "To
edify means to build up" "Edifca-
cation in the Christian lite means to
be built up by the addition of such
characteristics as virtue, knowledge,
temperance, patience, Godliness, and
brotherly Kindness" "God intends
that we shall be edited by these
characteristics" "Instead of sub
tracing the number of years that
we have lived from three score years
and ten, and think of life ending
when our time on this earth is up,
we should so conduct our lives here
that when we have finished our time
we could add to it all eternity and
live on forever" "Life should grow
brighter and better every day we
live"
The meeting next Sunday, Aug.
II, is to be an "absent members"
meeting. If you know you are go
ing to be absent, send something to
be read or spoken at the meeting by
some one that will be there. Ifyou
know of anyone that will be absent
send them word about this meeting.
The topic is "The Life of Faith"
References: Gen. II: IS; Heb. II:
10. Leader, Hermie Smith.
Wayland Hoyt, D. D., gives this
definition of faith: cit is assent of
the mind and consent of the heart"
AS soon as Abraham heard the call
of God he decided it was Gods call,
and consented to do as he had been
commanded. In leaving Haran the
only thing that Abraham had to s'give
up," in order to live the life of faith
was his sin. All earthly possessions
and friends were taken with him to
the land of Canaan. AS it was with
Abraham so it is with us. To enter
the life of faith required by God the
only thing we must give up is sin.
All other things we may keep and
enjoy by using them for God. To
live this life of faith requires two
things: First, Trust in God. Sec
ond, Obedience to God.

The public school building is
rapidly approaching readiness for
the work of next school year, and
by the close of this week viii be near
ly or quite in condition for the open
ing of school. The repairs made to
the building during the summer do
not show from the outside, except
the shingles which are being placed
on the old part. A 2 III. water pipe
has been run from the city main
to the building and through it to
the third floor, giving better water
service In the building, and making
it possible to furnish the building
with some adequate protection in
case of fire. The floors of the fresh
air rooms have been newly cement
ed, and cement floor has been put
into the main hall in the basement.
The library has been moved into
the back part of the main room,
both to make the library easier of
access, and to make possible anoth-
er recitation room. The main room
has also been provided with read
ing table, and with several addition
al desks. The building has been
provided with electric lights, and,
last but not least, it has been
thoroughly cleaned and all inside
woodwork vanished, putting it in
to the best of condition for the
opening of school.
The Public Schools of the city
will open Monday. Sept. /, the
Board having adopted the following
calendar for the coming year;
First Term begins Mon, Sept. /,
closes Fri. Nov. Il, 1902.
Second Term begins Mon, Nov.
"a, 1902, closes Fri, Feb. 81, 1903.
Third Term begins Mon. Mar. 2,
1903, closes Fri, May 20, 1903.
Holidays during the year will be
as follows: Tuesday Nov. 4, 1902;
Thanksgiving vacation, Nov. 81 to
Dec. 1, 1902; Christmas vacation,
Dec. 10, 902, to Jan 5, 1903; Eas-
1903.
The law of the last legislature con-
corning tuition in high schools
seems not to be generally under
stood, and the impression has gone
out that pupils will be admitted to
the Public Schools of the city free
of tuition, even though coming from
out side the district. Such is not
the case. By the law above men
toned, pupils of school age, coming
from districts or towns which do
not support high school and at
tending the HIGH SCHOOL DEPART
MENT, will have their tuition paid
by the TOWN FROM WHICH THEY
COME. All others from outside the
district, and all pupils entering the
GRADES BELOW the HIGH SCHOOL
from outside the district, will pay
THEIR OWN TUITION as heretofore.
the number of tuition pupils attend
ing our city schools has steadily in
creased of late years, the amount re-
ceived from tuition having more than
doubled in the last five years, and
there is every indication that the
coming year will show still further
increase. The rates of tuition, as
adopted by the Board, areas follows:
In the primary and Intermediate
Departments, 80 cents per week; In
the Grammar Department, 40 cents;
In the High School, so cents per
week. Tuition in the Primary,
intermediate, and Grammar De-
partments, and Of those pupils that
pay their own tuition in the High
School, will be paid by the term in
advance.
