When I was out in the evening with
my two native helpers one of these
found place where he could buy a
chicken and so he got one. Soon after
our return my cook came back from
the village nearby with another
chicken. I had him partially cook
them that night and then take them
out to make curry for breakfast next
morning. A little after three the next
morning we got up and as soon as we
could get light breakfast an6 get
the tent down and loaded up we start
ed for Hyderabad some twelve miles
distant, planning to stop on the way
for some work and for some breakfast.
This program was carried out We
halted near a stream at about s
O. clock. The chickens were divided
with my helpers and they proceeded
to make theirs into curry while my
cook did the same with mine. I had
trouble with him because he would
not put any ohilles (red peppers) in
my curry So this time he went of
and bought at least desert spoor
full, I should think, of the ground
pepper and I suppose he put it in Al

ducing the graceful style of sideboard
with which the taste of the present day
has made us familiar. The side board
table, however, was also retained in
large houses, where it served as cary

frequently known. Can it be possible
that Hepplewhite, by suggesting in one
of the infinitely drawn plans of a room,
large mirror hanging above the side
board, foreshadowed the time when
the mirror became a part, and often
the salient part, of piece of furni-
ture cumbersome and heavy in proper

to support? At this stage, a any rate,
we may leave it, with a mental sigh O.

uNFR1ENDLY COMMENT.
There Are Many Reasons why PeO-
PIE should Refrain from Critf-
cIsing Absent Acquaintance.

In conversation, unfriend1y COM
ments regarding the absent should
always be avoided. In social life it
is well to shun ill-natured gossip.
Make it q rule, and let it be strictly
observed, not to say anything about
the faults of another unless there is
absolute necessity for you to do So.
This necessity may arise, and your
own judgment can guide you about
the matter. 1t is always rash to talk
of the faults or evil doings of others.
Why, indeed, should you do so? You
know yourself that you have faults,
few or many, and that there are
many things you may have done
which you prefer should not be dis
cussed. Well, then, exercise the same
charity to others that you would
have extended to yourself.
Another thing to bear in mind is
that, if you talk of what is to the dis
advantage of another, what you say
viii doubtless be repeated. Of course,
you may preface your remarks by:
This is quite between ourselves, y
pray do not repeat it," etc. But why
should you imagine that the person
to whom you are talking will be 81
lent about that which you promised
to keep to yourself? She may forget
|. her promise, or may not consider it
very binding.
Then, too, when things are repeat
ed they never lose in the telling.
Something is taken from, or added
to, the original story, and if repeated
several times, it loses very often
most of its original character. The
most terrible mischief is caused by
gossips of this kind. Friends are sep
arated, relations are estranged, quar-
rels are fomented, and bad blood" is
aroused, simply because something
said, perhaps thoughtlessly, on the
impulse of the moment, is repeated.

THE LATER REST.

He toiIed, forever faithful. in the ways
where Duty led.
When earth seemed like a desert, and dark
clouds overhead;
And: "Ain't you feelin' weary?" :.
But still his word would be:
ON the other side of Jordan there'H be
rest for mel"
The black storms beat above him. He
saw, with saddened heart,
The laborers in the vineyard, one after one,
depart;
"oh,~ rest you from the toilingi There is
no light to see!'' -
"On the other side of Jordan thereu be
light for mel
Rest, from the toll and trouble. tired
hands and dropping head
You do but gather roses for graves that
hide your deadT'
But evermore that answer, clear-ringing,
far and free:
ION the other side of Jordan there'u be
rest for mel"
And so he toi1ed, and toiling gave earth
a lesson sweet
AS the Love of God that showered Loves
lilies at his feet;
No earthly light could lure him-no dark
his faith could dim:
On the other side of Jordan there was
light for him!

ModeI for, American Women.

The model that should be held up
to American women of to-day is not
the Amazon. glorying in her martial
deeds and powers; not the Spartan,
who made female perfection to con-
sist in the development of physical
strength at the expense of feminine
decorum and modesty; not the god
dess of impure love like Venus, whose
votaries regarded beauty of form
and personal charm as the highest
types of womanly excellence. No,
the model that should be held up
before you and all women is Mary,

The County Treasurer objects.

In 1887, Little River township, Reno
county, issued So, 200 in bonds to aid
IN the construction OF the Kansas
Midland railroad. The bonds were
to run for 80 years and bore six per
cent. interest. They were purchased
by Reno county. Recently the town
ship decided it would refund them at
AZ per cent. interest and it undertook
to call the old bonds in. County
Treasurer Ryker refused to surrender
them and the township then com
menced proceedings to force him to
do so and the case was taken to the
supreme court.

Best Medicine for Children.

Happiness is the best medicine for
children, says the Ledger Monthly.
Try to make your little ones happy;
impose no burdens on them: see thar
they have opportunity for active,
outdoor sports; play with them your
self; tell them stories; take them to
see some of the wonderful sights of
the city-and almost anything is
wonderful and full of interest to
children; give them a plenty of plain,
simple, well-cooked food: put them
to bed early; let them sleep till they
wake up, and dress them with an eye
single to their comfort, and you will
probably have little occasion for doc

instructors view of life. that Iarl1ed
her as child of that part of the great
city where the upper tendon lived.
George Singleton had never taken the
trouble to look up the dwelling places
of his pupils. He didn't have to. His
insight could never fail him. Now, it
happened that Singleton was only 25
years old. It also happened that he
was physically big and good-looking.
Something else happened which is not
altogether unnatural, perhaps. He be-
gan to feel deep interest in one of
his pupils. 1t may be needless to say
that she was the city-bred girl, Belle
Madison. Pupil and instructor met
frequently at such of the gatherings
as the university life afforded. 1t is
perhaps better to go straight at
things, and so let it be said without
beating around, that the pupil was not
entirely Indifferent to the instructor.
She was as handsome girl as one can
find after a weeks hunt. She was a
brunette, with little of the blush rose
showing through the tan of her cheeks.
1t was tan sure enough, and this fact
puzzled Instructor Singleton little,
for it was the one thing which this
girl pupil of his had in common with
the country lasses who dweIt down
his fathers farm way.
Georges love affair prospered. He
wasn't bad fellow, only narrow and
with an unreasonable prejudice
against country girls. 1t didn't take
Belle long to find out the bent of her
teacher-lover's mind. She heard him
say nice things about city girls, to
the disparagement of their rural sis
ters. She chided him little at times
and said that there were lots of
country girls who were just as nice
as/George tried to make her out to
be. He said: 'You can't find your
counterpart in ten years search in
any city, and as for thezcountry,
man would be nothing short of an
idiot who would undertake a search
that would last a century, and in the
end be unsuccessful
Things went on smoothly, and
teacher and pupil were engaged.
George had seen Mr. Madison, the
father, at an Office in a big down
town building. On the office door
appeared simply the words, civilian
Madison, COMMISSIONS Singleton
knew that the mother was dead and
that Belle had lived nearly all her
life with her father. The spring va
cation came on. Belle told George
that her grandmother lived in Posey
county, Ind, and that she was gong
to spend the ten days Easter vaca-
ton with her. George was asked to
follow her in a few days to get ac-
quainted with the old lady y few
days later he left the train at
dingy little station and inquired of
the agent the way to Mrs. James
MadisOn's residence.
"Oh, the old lady," said the rail-
road official. "She lives a mile back
with her son. He's got about the big
gest dairy farm in Indiana.
The day was delightful and the
country was beautiful, so George
trudged along the road in the direc-
ton indicated. He soon came in sight
of great collection of buildings,
while beyond, turned out for their
first spring pasturing, were cattle
that might have covered thousand
hills. 1t was near sunset. George

reached the first of the long, low
rooted sheds. There was cow
sanctioned at one end. Near by
stood a man leaning against post,
while on three-legged stool, with
pail firmly e1asped between her knees,
sat a maid milking.
By the shades of Aeschylus, Arts.
totle and the rest of the Greeks, was
there not something familiar about
the sweeping lines of this dairy
maids figure and the poise of her
superb head? George passed through
the gateway numb and dazed in all
his faculties. At his step the girl
turned her head, rose and came to
meet him with her trimming pail in
her hand and an equally trimming
smile in her face. 81 thought you'd
get here just about this time, George,
and so I let you catch me at my IA
vorite work. I was born here and
have lived here nearly all my life.
