A SUNDAY HORSE RACE.
Anna Was Sedate, but Just Had to
Say "Let Her Cop

One Of those men who came in from the
country and have climbed from the bottom
of the ladder to the top likes to tell a
story on his wife, whose second beauty is
crowned by mass of silken hair as white
as cotton.
Eve both lived on farm them" he
says. Gamma was an orphan and brought
up by a strict old uncle, who was a dea-
con. She was pretty and bright, but so
prim and straitlaced that she would
sanction nothing to which the deacon
himself objected, and no old Covenanter
ever drew the lines more closely than he
did.
Next to Anna my affections were CEN
tered on a colt that was good to look at
and developed wonderful speed and
gameness that spoke of aristocratic de-
scent. told this to no one but Anna,
and 1t was with great difficulty that in
duced her to ride one Sunday with me to
a camp meeting behind real trotter.
"Going to the meeting l regulated the
colts pace to suit the day and the occa-
sion, and he was as sedate as the deacon
himself. The only girl of the neighbor-
hood who pretended to rival Anna in
beauty was there with young fellow
who prided himself on having the fastest
horses in the county. Toward shutdown
she told Anna that we had better start
home early. They would require much
less time and would probably pass us on
the way.
"That made me mad, and thought
detected an unwonted fire In Annals eyes.
We were jogging homeward as decorous-
ly as we had gone, talking solemnly, as
we should, when there was q rush past
us, cloud of dust and hooking laugh
that babe us goodby. My colt was pranc-
Ing and pulling like tugboat. I was
bound to please my girl, grinding as It
was.
"Let her go! came between her red
lips and white set teeth.
THAT was enough. Fences and trees
few the other way. Blood told, and the
colt seemed on wings. When we were
nose and nose, Anna was so excited that
she wanted to take the reins for fear l
couldn't win the Sunday race. But the
gallant colt shot through ahead. 1t
wasn't long till Anna wore little jewel
ry and tolerated cards to the extent Of
playing old maid st. Louis Republic.

The Man who IL "A Family Nuisance.

1t Is not en- uncommon thing for the
world to make mistakes and ascribe to
some men better tempers, to others worse
ones, than they actually possess. A man
may not only be thoroughly selfish and
exacting, but ready to fly into a passion
at a small provocation and yet pass for
being good tempered simply because those
around him are afraid to cross him and
give him no opportunity for breaking out.
His likes and dislikes are always taken
into account and considered beforehand.
This Is known to him, and the sacrifice IL
pleasing.
The members of his family-for temper
Is chiefly a feature of family life-think
that peace Is cheaply bought at the price
of their own inclinations and congratu-
late themselves on the fact that papa or
Uncle Richard is in such a good temper.
The fact is that he Is in an abominably
bad one. He Is probably quite uncon-
scious OF the fact and unconscious, too,
that In their hearts the other members of
the family think him nuisance and
breathe more freely when he is out of the
house., more freely still when he Is hun
dred miles away.-Chambers' Journal.

Followed Directions.

The servant girl who follows directions
explicitly has always been considered
jewel, but there are some flaws even in
the most valuable gems, as this story
shows.
The jewel in question was Scandina-
Wan, willing and vigorous, but not over
gifted with intelligence. When she first
arrived ON the scene, she had never seen
refrigerator before. After initiating her
into its mysteries, the new mistress in
structed her never to leave in the icebox
anything old or left over, but to keep 1t
perfectly clean and fresh by throwing
away the old things every morning.
On the day following this the mistress
happened to look out of the window and
noticed something peculiar in the yard.
Summoning the maid she asked:
sophia, what is that, and how did 1t
get there?"
The Scandinavian beamed with Joy at
her own cleverness and in expectation Of
cordial approval.
THAT is old ice, Fam, left from yes
terday. l threw it away lax you'tole me-"
