1|RZAH'S CHIMNEY.

" I'VE years before, when Solomon
lN Green had asked Trzah Hitch,
cock to become the second Mrs
Green, she had tartly refused the hon.
or. II amt much Of a beauty" she
had told him, "but no warmed-over af-
fection fur me, thank you, Solomon
Green"
Solomon had reasoned all in vain.
why, Tirzah," he pleaded, at amt
no ways natural fur wimmen to live
alone. Every mornin' your chimbly is
the furst thing l look at, am if 1 wasn't
to see the smoke a-comin' out Of it,
I'd be scared to death thinkin' you was
robbed, or killed, or sunthin'.
whats the us in US keepin' up
two houses, when one would do jest
as well?"
Since that time the two had hardly
exchanged a dozen words. Solomon
had not married, neither had T1rZah,
and now, on the night before her for
ieth birthday, she sat looking around
her orderly little home with the most
desolate feeling at her heart she had
known for years.
Tomorrow would be her birthday.
Mechanically she had gone through a
few preparations for that rather du-
bious festival. The smallest hen from
her flock was curled up ready for
roasting inside the same pan in which
her hens had been roasted for the last
fifteen years. A green apple pie sat
On ne pantry shelf beside sour cream
spice cake, while plate OF mealy tarts
was waiting patiently the filling Of
grape jelly to be theirs on the NOR
row.
Never before, at that season Of the
year, had Tirzah's hens been laying
so well.
Her COW had never been known to
give so large a yield Of milk. There
were three new kittens in the basket
behind the kitchen stove, and her ca
nary bird was the loudest singer in all
the village, But for all this Tirzah
was not satisfied.
She had heard that day that the
widowed cousin, who usually kept
house for Solomon Green, had unex-
pectedly married.
OF course, this was nothing 10 Tr-
zah, but still-here she shifted two or
three times, and then, without a par
ticle of explanation to the astonished
cat, who had come forth demanding
her allowance Of milk, sat down In her
cane-seated rocker and burst out cry
ing.
For FIVE minutes she cried. and then

"a certain municipality in Sweden"
Is credited by correspondent Of a
London paper with securing its income
by taxing citizens according to weight
A man who weighs less than 1875
pounds can laugh at the tax collector,
but one who weighs 200 pounds pays
about three dollars year. Upon one
who weighs from 200 to 27O pounds,
the tax is about six dollars and a quar-
ter year. Beyond 270 pounds the tax
is nearly two dollars a year for each
extra pound. Many a stout man will
maintain, with good sense on his side.
that the basis OF taxation is wrong
side up. His bulk Is burden and the
tax is another. 1t is the lean man
who should pay for the privilege of
being lean.

A man in one Of the Eastern States
recently wrote to one Of the newspa-
pers that his income was $5o 4 week.
he had nobody to care for except his
wife and himself and yet he could not
save anything. He asked for advice As
to how he could set aside something
for the rainy day" that every man
says he expects, but rarely acts as IL
he Gid. He had many replies Of one
kind or another, but hardly one OF
them could be called helpful advice
For the most part men told him what
they had done in saving out of sala-
ries many Of which were much smaller
than his. One man with nearly the
same income told him fatty that he
ought to save one-third Of It becs use
he himself had done SO, and then
showed schedule setting forth his
expenses. Another cheered him with
the information that out of an income
Of S66 a month he had himself kept
house with table he would not have
been ashamed to invite anybody to and
had regularly saved $40 a month. He
appeared to think that the inquirer
ought to save all of his 81, 600 per year
in excess Of $56 a month, which must
have been highly encouraging. This
inquirer, had he wished to know hcw
he could write as good play as
Hamlet" would have been as much
profited by letter from Shakespeare
informing him that besides Hamlet"
he himself had written divers other
plays. The only glimmer of sense was
at the end of the first of these two
letters. when he was informed that
Saving is not in the method-it rests
with the man and woman" So it
| does. but as nobody had told him their
method this did not make him any
wiser than he ought to have been be-
fore. 1t does indeed rest with the
man. and the sooner he learns that
truth the sooner each will evolve it fer
himself and learn how Ito cut his coat
| according to Its cloth" If he evolves
it he will survive. If he does not he
will not survive, and that is the whole
story.

she dropped her apron and looked
guiltly about.
A thought intruded itself upon her
which she considered in the light Of
4 secret crime. Over and over again,
despite herself, she rehearsed Solo
mon's's proposal: each word a. 1t had
been spoken, until. suddenly, like the
handwriting upon the wall, there stood
forth these words: Every morning
your chimbly Is tho first thing l look
at"
Had he meant IT. Did he still turn
his eyes with the coming of the morn
ing light down the little hill which lay
between theml Did her lonely chin
ney still claim his thoughtful carel
Five minutes Later the dark plot was
formed, and Miss Nrzah was hurrying
about her preparations for the night
with cheeks that burned with fires she
had thought long since gone out for
ever
The following morning more aston
ished creatures there could not be than
were the kittens, cat, COW, hens and
canary of Miss Tirzah Hitchcock.
Something. certainly, had gone wrong
Six o'clock came, and the stable door
was not opened by the brisk mistress.
Half-past six, and still no fire in the
kitchen stove. Seven O'Clock, and no
breakfast yet for the mistress and her
indignant dependents.
Loud and angry rose the protest Of
Brindle from her snug stall, while the
old cat and canary did their best to stir
things up inside.
Meanwhile, hidden by the parlor cur
tains, crouched Miss Tirzah, wrapped
in a huge red and green shawl, her
heart fluttering between shame and
dread, while her eyes watched with
fevered anxiety the house just up the
hill.
Oh, how pitfully foolish now looked
her deep-laid scheme, when faced in
the broad light Of day.
OF course, he had forgotten, years
ago, to watch her chimney. What
was it to him now, whether she had a
fire or not! She would go this very
minute and build it She
Why, what was that? Some one
was coming out Of Solomon's front
door. Some one-why, it was Solomon
himself. creeping forth as If he had
just been engaged In stealing his own
spoons and was now making off with
them to place Of hiding.
Where was he going!
The heart of Tirzah stood still for
one long and nerve-desroying second,
then it went on again with such ham,
mering and commotion beneath the red
and green shawl that a less plucky
woman would have fed for the cam
phor bottle on the instant.
Solomon was coming down the hill
straight toward her tiny home. Com
ing, 1t Is true, not as the conquerors
come, with bold and martial tread, but
after timid, slinky fashion Of a man
who had had his last timid advances
in that direction scorned.
When it was certain past all shadow
Of doubt that he was coming into
the house, Tirzah, the crafty creature,
betook herself to the cane-seated rock
er, where, wrapped to the chin in the
big shawl she waited with palpitating
heart for the timid knock which at
length sounded on the door.
Come in," she then called, feebly,
at which the door was opened cautious
ly. inch by inch, until the entire fig
ure Of the middle-aged lover was dis
closed to view.
At the sight Of Tirzah, bundled up
and in the armchair, all of his hesita-
ton vanished.

LIFE.

Give me the strength and height
OF glorious life
The dazzling light,
The straining and the strife,
Love, passion, hope,
In their divinest scopa
High winds on mighty seas,
Not sheltered bay;
The storm that frees
Wild torrents, great and gay
With sudden power,
Not the soft gpring-tims shower.
And II the storm should kill,
The torrent drown
So be 1t still.
Still let me snatch the crown
Life has TO give,
And cry, but once, live!
