Several men attended her. Billy New

Mrs Boniface as she paused before
Frances, saying: "Miss Van Dyck,
You have revealed to us a new accom-
plishment in our Governor tonight.
We did not know he danced
Frances stared in mute astonish-
ment at her hostess, then she looked
in hcwilderment at Billy, whose eyes
danced with boyish merriment. There
was ripple of laughter. Frances
head went up. IL beg your pardon, l
do not understand you, Mrs. Boniface."
Again there was a laugh. Billy
came to the rescue "Shc hasn't met
the Governor, Mrs. Bonitace,'' he said.
"Miss Van Dyck, the Governor would
be honored by a dance with you" He
smiled as he took her hand. With sud-
den awed intelligence she gazed into
his eyes, and then at the amused coun-
tenances about. Her face grew scarlet.
Family she echoed the laughter, un-
able to speak. Billy drew her within
his arm. The surrounding people made
way. He paused minute to speak
over his shoulder to Mrs. Boniface:
"The reason you have not seen me
dance is that l dance with only one
young lady; this one"
AS he moved away his eyes were
full of light and his face flashed with
unaccustomed embarrassment at the
attention they attracted. The girl,
white Tipped and trile dizzy, danced
as in dream, observing nothing.
She was aroused by an alarming
clangor OF bells and factory whistles
from the city without. The laughing
comment and the dance music both
were drowned by it.

Frances looked up, tremulous, into
her partners radiant face. In hush

THE FOUNT OF YOUTH.

The fount of youth has Oft been sought
Since days of long ago,
And often in fancy men have seen
Its living waters flow.
Through desert, swamp and wilderness
The search as been pursued,
In hope that by the magic fOunt
Youths charms might be renewed.
But men have turled from that vain quest
Their hopes forever crushed,
For though they searched through all the world
No magic fountain gushed.
And men resigned themse Ives to age
That robbed them of their grace.
That sapped their strength and thickly spread
Times wrinkles on his face.
In later years mems thoughts have turned
To plans for longer life,
Aud in el:xirs they have sought
New strength for daily strife.
And oft it's heralded abroad
That scientist sage
Has finally evolved plan
To stay the blight of age.
But men grow old. ard women, too,
As in the days of yore,
For no elixirs they have tried
Their youthful charms restore.
And as they can't deceive themselves
Some seek to hide the truth,
And dye or bleach their hair and paint
On chez ks the hues of youth.
The fount of youth is in each heart,
And those who keep it pure
Will longer hold the charms of youth
And length of life secure.
And when at last that fount lin fails.
And old age on them steals.
They'll bear it well because no man
Is older than he feels

The Governors Ball.

1t was Il well-known tact i'll official
circl,s that the Governor was inor'ii-
mattel, fond Of balls, These pretty
frivolities he rarely missed, although
he danced only an occasional lancers
or Virginia reel with the chap"rons.
1t was his custom 10 sit for a couple of
hours with these ladies, making of
their tiresome duty pleasure, 10y his
engaging conversation and more en-
gaging attention.
There was well-authenticated
rumor that in his young lawyer days
he had been an enthusiastic dancer,
but although buds and bells alike had
endeavored to win him back TO his
former pursuits, none had succeeded.
He was too old and too stout, he an
swered jovially, when questioned on
the subject. AS he was not stout, and
not very old, in spite of his gray hair,
this answer was given the credencc it
deserved. He once confi,led 10 a host
ess that it renewed his youth to watch
dance, and see the young things en-
joy themselves, whereas he was. con-
WINGED he would feel very old and rheu-
matte if he attempted TO join in the
recreation. This grave speech was
followed by the smile that had won the
Governor more friends and votes than
he would ever know. But tie smile,
or the confidence, or both, left in the
mind of the hostess, who sympathized
secretly with his sentiments, very
considerable doubt as to his serious
ness, he was so habitual ajoker.'
Some persons had advanced the
theory that the Governor refrained
from dancing because Of the dignified
position he held, but this view pro
duccsl SO much amusement among
those who best knew the man that it
never became popular. After watch
ing him carry his six feet three inches
of magnificent manhood through a
Virginia reel nobo ly could entertain n
doubt that the Governor would lend
dignity to any Undertaking.
Certain it is that he attended the
balls in the gay little Staiccap tai and
blitheiy held his court with, the chap
erons, frankly adorcd 10y the "young
things" Of both sexes, until dance
without his presence was a dismal and
toneIess affair He laughingly ASSERTED
that somebody yet would print his
| name in list of chapcrons or else in
the morning paper denominate him
the belle of the ball AS it lacked q
! year of election time nobody hal as
yet fulfilled his prophecy. Sometimes
when there was lull in the converse
ton. cbscrvant women had seen al
! expression in the Governor gray
! eyes, as they followed the merry cou
pies, that made him ponder.
On New Years eve Senator ant
Mrs. Bonitace gave a ball to the Gov
ernor, a surprise ball. Everybody
knew in whose honor it was, eNcep

ROADS AND HORSES.

Ten states have at the Paris Expo
sition exhibits of scientific road max
ing. Considering the fact that we
have the worst roads in the world, the
attempt to teach the world how to con-
struct good roads will naturally be at
tributed to Yankee impudence. But
there has been a marked advance in
this country in knowledge as to road
building, and large part of cur trouble
in this direction has been because of
our ignorance of the proper principles
of road construction. The government
has been taking an active interest in
this work, and it is trying to teach
people how TO make good road. The
favorite plan seems TO be to lay two
wide tracks for wagons to run on, and
with a wagon on such tracks one horse
can pull larger load than three, or
even more, horses can on the ordinary
road. 1t will be readily seen that such
road would be an immense saving to
the farmer. He could transport his
products to the railroad at greatly re-
duced expense; he could save both as
TO the number Of horses, and as to the
strain that he would need to put upon
those that he did have, while working
on the road
Saving horsehcsh is not a conspic-
uous object in farm management. We
are too apt to be careless in this re-
gard, sometimes working our teams
too hard, driving them too hard, over
loading them and now and then ruin
ing sn animal by overstraining. A
country doctor was once demonstrated
with for buying such light buggies.
He wore ou a good many. His reply
to tie remonstrance was that buggies
were cheaper than good horses, and
JldG IV COulu olINS ~ uoi SS iSS e'hiSS
longer to ligl vehicle than he could
to heavy one. The cost of road
building is sometimes too great to be
considered at all There is no doubt
of that; and farmers who live in sec
ticns where it is exceedingly expensive
t, build good roads are not to blame
for opposing their construction. But
good roads are of such vital impOr-
tance that the subject ought to be
calmly considered in its every phase.
They will enhance the value of prop
erty; will save many dollars in the
increased active longevity of horses;
will add to the price of all stock that
is carted to market, for it can be cart
ed more economically - Ayric"/t"rol

THE SPIRIT OF WINTER.

The Spirit of Winter is with US,
making it's presence known in many
different ways-Sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. 70 many people it seems
to take a delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more
annoying, and the many symptoms OF
scroiula are developed and aggravated.
There is not much poetry in this, but
there is truth, and it is wonder that
more people don't get rid of these all
ments. The medicine that cures them
Hoods SarsaparilIa-is easily Oh
tained and there is abundant proof
that it's cures are radical and perma-
nent.

NOW LOOK OUT!

''Take care of yourself" !" say our friends.
''In try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
indammaticls and congestions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
tie fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. # you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were coy-
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.
