bath evening, though she waited for
him, and all the time felt a little
thorn in her heart at the disappoint.
ment.
.
Two months passed. She was going
home, and had not seen him. She
ventured to do then what she could
not have done a year before; she
wrote note to him full of earnest
warning and womanly sympathy.
And then she went home, and the
first person she saw, as she was get
ting out of the carriage at her own
door, was Gerald Norman.
He had on neat suit, his face was
bright and happy, his step free and
elastic, and, altogether Dinorah felt a
little thrill of pride run through her
as she looked at him.
At last, when men who knew him
touched their hats in the street, and
fair women gave him their gloved
hands in salutation, he came one
evening to see Dinorah Fstlin.
She asked no questions, and he
vouchsafed no information regarding
himself; but when he went away at
the close of a very pleasant evening,
he held her little white hand in his a
moment, and said:
edo you think, Dinorah Estlin, that
a good woman could ever learn to love
me?"
Dinorah faltered, and her heart be-
gan to beat very fast.
He saw the beautiful bushes that
came to her cheeks, and took new
courage.
"You are the very best woman
know, Dinorah. Forgive me for call
ing you that; but don't say you for
give me unless you think you can
some day put your dear hand in mine
and say, "'I love you"
Tears and smiles were struggling in
her face, but she said very softly: 81
forgive YOU
He asked nothing more then, but
Well, did not mean this to be love
story; yet, somehow, nearly all true
stories do turn out to be love stories.
Dinorah Estlin knew that her lover
was a true man, and asked no more
than he gave, and the thought of his
love grew in time to be very precious
to her. And when he came to her six
months later, and held out his arms,
she did not refuse his embrace.-New
York Weekly.

LAUGHING.
The Wide Difference that Is Noticed
Among Various Methods.


TN all the wide range OF evolution
airy studies there is nothing quite so
interesting to sme as the wide differ
ence in the matter of laughing" said
thoughtful man, land 1 have often
wondered why some man with chances
to observe the differences, not only
among individuals belonging to the
same racial group, but among races
had not developed the more striking
difference. We have dealt with other
important differences, the difference in
vocal range and tone. We have devel-
oped in our evolutionary studies the
marked differences between the music
Of primitive and civilized peoples, the
broad differences, for instance, be-
tween the simple monotonous sea e
Of the Fijian and that complex bit of
sublimated harmony the symphony.
Why not develop the range Of laughter
among individuals and races? 1t would
be an easy matter to do this. Besides,
what more cheerful study can one pur
sue than the study of laughter?
What more alluring theme can we
find in the whole category Of subjects
relating to human kind? Laughter!
To think Of it is to smile, to enthuse,
to become CHEEKY, to see things Of the
world through the rosy glasses Of opti-
mism. Laughter is music. 1t is the
bubbling forth of the finer things Of
the human voice. 1t is perfected mu-
sic. 1t is the sum total, the final all,
in the matter Of welded, rhythmical
tones Yet men and women laugh in
different keys and different scales.
Often laughter is as the silvery tones
Of the oriole. Sometimes it is the
clear brass ring Of the blackbird call
ing to her brood in the black gum
tree. Laughter is sometimes sharp,
cutting; sometimes deep, heavy, gut
tural, sounding a sort of basso pro-
fundO: sometimes it Is the one voice
in the scale of harmony, and some.
times another, but it is always mu-
steal; always rhythmical; always as
sociated in some way with the parting
Of lips and the showing Of teeth, and
the playing of dimples, and all that
sort Of thing. Laughter is good to
think upon. 1t is a good theme, a
good study, and one which may be
pursued with much profit. New Or

OLD FOLKS OF MORMON CHURCH
An Interesting Gathering of Adher-
ents of Brigham Young.

An Interesting Gathering of Adher-
ents of Brigham Young.
A recent dispatch from Salt Lake
City tells of a gathering of the old
folks Of the Mormon Church which
had just been held at American Fork.
OF the old people present forty-one
were above the age of go; 153 were
over 80 and under 80, and GIT of them
were more than 70 and under so years
old. They had a banquet whereat
they devoured sixty bushels CT green
peas, 800 chickens, $50 pounds of ham,
twenty bushels of potatoes ten bush
els of cherries, 100 large cakes, 500
loaves Of bread and the trimmings"
appropriate to such a meal. Some Of
these persons were members OF the
Mormon organization when Joseph
Smith was at its head, and all Of them
lived under and recognized the leader
ship of Brigham Young. The aggre-
gate age Of the S13 men and women at
this gathering was 63,414 years, and
they have 4S, $50 descendantS-a show
ing which ought to delight Mr.. Roose-
welt. But there is nothing in the last
figures to discourage the people Of
other States from essaying the biblical
injunctions to multiply and replenish
the earth. True, these Utah people
have esta blisheda prolific standard and
one that will be difficult to live up to-;
but it must be remembered that the
Mormons had advanta ges which are
denied to people Of other States by
law.

KEEP GOING.

The world is moving right along,
You must keep going;
There is no hating with the throng,
You must keep going.
There is no stopping on the way,
The same old hustle day by day,
You cannot stop in some ones way,
You must keep going.
If you would reach fame's topmost
rung
You must keep going;
Begin the strife while your are young,
And then keep going.
If you would keep from dire distress,
If you would make a big success,
And reap reward and happiness,
You must keep going.

Mineral Matter in Food.

The base of nutrition in all living

Of nearly all their mineral matter.
Death from starvation occurred sooner

THE BEST WAY TO TEACH HIS.
TORY.

The idea of object teaching, the founda-
ton of the Froebel system of instruc-
ton. has in recent years met with general
acceptance and adoption in almost every
branch Of education, high and low. with
resultant benefits which are beyond uues-
ton. Even such subjects as grammar
and arithmetic are now taught in this
way so far as practicable. and with
marked advantage over the old dry and
abstract methods. The practice of teach
ing history by making pilgrimages to the
very scenes where great historical events
have occurred is an application of the
same principle and much more valuab bic
in the way of impressing the reality of
history upon the minds of the young
than any amount of mere text book in
struction could be. - recent issue of the
"Four-Track Series. published by the
New York Central management, gives a
description Of the historical sites in the
immediate vicinity of New York, which
will be of exceeding value for the guild
ance of teachers and others who desire
to adopt this method of historical study.
One of the best ways TO develop civic
pride and promote good citizenship lies
in this very direction an increase of
knowledge of local history being accom-
pished with an increase of interest in
matters of local government and a higher
concern for what affects the welfare and
good name of the cOmmounity.-Fro

Pure blood and well nourished nerves
are the great requisites at this season
for every man. woman and child. Too
many of our people enter the spring sea-
son with systems charged with deadly
impurities. The blood is foul and stag
nant; the liver and kidneys work imper-
fectly, and very often are diseased. With
many, rheumat atism, neuralgia and dys-
pepsia are daily tormentors. Life is not
safe when such ailments are permitted to
run unchecked
If you, unfortunate sufferer, find your
self burdened with any of the forms of
disease just referred to, do not fail TO
give Paine's Celery Compound a trial
Ii is your only safety-your only true
end in death. Paines Celery Compound
has cured tens Of thousands every spring
time; it will do the same blessed work
for you. One bottle will cost you less
than visit to consult a physician, and
will convince you of its power to cure.
Mr.. a. S. Farley, Milwaukee, Wis, says
Last spring I was convinced very
strongly that my blood was in a bad and
dangerous condition. had boils and skin
eruptions, was rundown, sleepless and had

only charged with attempting to go be-

cuted in the hope that some of the prin-
cipals can be smoked out. but so far they
seem to have been very successful IN
hiding the shells The investigation we
propose goes farther. 1t will show Just
what conditions are and what the infu-
ences behind the attack on the admins

we are content to go before the people
