WEATHER SUITED PATRICK.

Thorough Drenching Had

The weather often calls on the cour-
age of the philosopher, and he is but
a weak-hearted one who cannot find
some charms even in it's least winning
moods. Perhaps prolonged drought is
the most trying test of the mark
Tapley" spirit. When ones favorite
roses, strawberries and laborious lawns
are burned day after day by relentless
sun, it is hard to be patient with the
cloudless sky. Still worse is it when
the fields of grass and wheat and corn
are threatened with total destruction.
The means of life are as dear as life it.
self. But fortunately in our climate
the severest drought is tolerably sure
to end before hopeless damage is done.
Then follow the long days of rain, in
which both man and field may revel
In the refreshing moisture.
Hot and cold, wet and dry, fair and
foul have their own charms for one
who loves nature. One does not need
a highly imaginative spirit to do that.
A truly religious man is sure to be a
grateful one. and gratitude has the
secret of finding every day a good day.
An American lady was walking along
muddy Irish road in a drenching
rain, with some discomfort, in spite of
overshoes, rain coat and umbrella. She
met an old man without the least pro-
lection from the downpour, the water
dripping from his hat and beard, and
evidently soaking him to the skin.
Good morning, Patrick!" she said.
"This is bad weather, isn't it?'
Good luck to We, miss! A fine, saft

When the "Sunday Lady, Came
There Was Scramble for the

Miss Martha Berry, describing in
Worlds Work her labors among the
poor whites in the south, recounts thus
visit to one of their houses:
l would ride my pony for miles
through zig-zag path in the resinous
woods leading up to some isolated lit
tie cabin. The whole family would
come out and welcome me. And these
words grew quite familiar:
"Yonder comes the Sunday Ladyl
Hitch yo' nag and 'light-'light, and
come in. We-uns be pow'ful proud to
see you'll"
It was not always easy to "'ight
and come in," because the doorway
was usually blocked with dogs, cats,
chickens and tow-headed baby, ly-
ing serenely happy in the sunshine,
in rude wooden box which did duty
for cradle. My appearance among
the children was always the signal for
rush, pell-mell, to the dilapidateds
well. This pleased me very much, as
it showed that my admonftions to
wash and be clean were literally car
ried out. There was always scram-.
bic among them to get possession Of
the family tin basin. Then, after q.
:hasty dip, they would come forward.

Number one raised the blind; number

and a. shade came over his face-his
rations were all up; looked again at his
hand, and his face lightened; studied

bag and brought to light an enormous
cucumber pickle, held it reluctantly out,
and queried: Boys, whatll We low me
on that?' Instantly three pairs of eyes
bulged in amazement. Where did he
get that? How did he come by it? In
stantly three sto1nachs crayed the unac-
customed luxury. An ardent desire to
possess the succulent anti-scorbutic
arose under every blue blouse. Go on it?
Why, that's worth the last chip! Every
thing was put up, cards drawn, hands
showed down, and Biddy raked in the
pot, a phenomenon for him to do. Many
comrade in the succeeding nights went
feeling for that pickle, but Biddy always
took it into the blanket with him. Often
was it thereafter produced as the dernier
resort, and when it decayed and became
no longer merchantable, his bank stock
was gone. But before the dissolution
came many a good hand was laid down
by an opponent upon production of that
