ON ITS OWN MERITS.
The Second Pie Was One That wopgG "GO Down. Without the
 Makers Praise,

A young man who spent his smnrn q vacao ton on a Maine farm says that new in- stances of the thrift and shrewdness of bis landlady are constantly thrusting them- selves upon his attention, relates Youths Companion.
 One day wagon load of unexpected rea- tives descended on the farm, and the mis- tress was, as she afterward frankly said, put to it" to provide enough food for din ner. She brought forward among other things an apple pie, which seemed to the boarder far inferior to the pies she usually made. But when she served it she spoke of her reputation as a piemaker.
 "They do say at the socables that mo- body's pies quite come up to mine, she re- marked, with beaming smile; 'and apple pies are what you might call my speciality. I've often been asked for the receipt but l tell 'em it's knack and judgment does it, not rule"
 The pie disappeared and then, when her guests were not as hungry as they had been, she brought forth second pie, talsy of crust and luscious to the taste.
 'Why, Aunt Mary" said the youngest of the party, boy of l2, ''I think this pies ever so much better than the ther, and you haven't said a word about it!''
 His aunt looked at him without so much as twinkle in her eyes.
 "This one will go down without praising, l reckon" she said, gravely.

so PRESUMING OF HIM.
with only S'1,O0O Year He Had No Reason to Expect That He
 Had a Chance.

The yellow moon hung by its crescent hook against the starlit azure of the Sep tember ky, and the night was dreamy de- Ecious, divine, says the New York Her aid.
 The man and the maiden walked be- meath the silent stars and listened to the purple music from the dusk. Her jeweled fingers rested lightly on his arm, and he felt them there as trembling harp strings feel the touch of angel hands that summon forth the souls high harmonies.
 His heart beat fast and the red blood ran riot in his veins, for love had placed its caaliGe cn to his lips and he had drunk his fill. He had not spoken, but he felt tae spirit of the hope that makes man dare do anything and now this night of nights should see him conqueror of the maiden's heart.
 "A penny for your thoughts" he whis- pered, bending low to look into her sweet, soft eyes.
 "No more?" she murmured, looking up at him, to let those blue eyes fall again.
 He caught her hand in his and let his full heart flow.
 "All have in the world," he said, sub- Timely.
 "Too little,' she responded, with firm ness.
 And then he knew that some of his hated rivals had told her he had but $75- 0W year income and no rich relatives.

COMMERCE AND GENTILITY.
Run Of on Homemade Candy Made Sister Jane Nervoun and Stopped
 1tg Sale.

One of the most interesting pieces of char acter drawing in Hawthorne's work is the proud old New England woman, Hepzi- bah, Tn the House of Seven Gables. !" Forced to keep shop, she used to wish that customers would not come to witness the fall ot her pride and her fortunes. The Washington Post tells a similar story, the scene ot which Is laid in Pennsylvania vil- lage.
 Two old spinsters keep little shop in which they sell pins and calico and other small wares" Last summer a Washington woman saw jar of homemade candy in thelr window, and bought some of it. It was so good that she bought more of it, and told all the summer visitors about it. There was run" on homemade candy, and the jar had to be rehlled again and again. One day the Washington woman called Tor some more of the candy, and was told that the sisters were out of it. A day later she called again, and the elder sister, with some embarrassment, said that they were stlll out, and recommended that she try the clty-made candy at the drug store. This was not what the Washington woman want ed, so after two days she paid third visit to the shop. Still the candy jar was empty.
 Aren't you ever going to have any more of :" she asked
 The elder sister hesitated in obvious dis tress.
 q don't think we are," she said, at length. ou see, so many people got to running Tn here asking for that candy, and it made so much confusion, that Sister Jane got nervous about it. So we decided not to sell any more candy. We aren't going to keep it after this"

 CASE NO. 15,741.-Rev. Jacob D. Van Doren, of 57 Sixth Street, Fond du Lac, Wis.,, Presbyterian clergy man, says: "A man or woman who has never had kidney complaint or any of the little ills consequent upon irritated or inactive kidneys knows very little about what prolonged suf- fering is. I had attacks which kept me in the house for days at time, unable to do anything, and to ex- press what I suffered can hardly be adequately done in ordinary Anglo. Saxon. As time passed, complica- tions set in, the particulars of which l will be pleased to give in a personal interview to any one who requires information. I used plenty of rem edies, and, ever on the outlook for something that might check or ben eft my condition, I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills. This I can con- scientiously say, Doan's Kidney Pills caused general improvement in my health. They brought great relief by lessening the pain and correcting the action of the kidney secretions."
