THE FADED TINTYPE.

Beneath the weight of many years his aged
back was bent.
But from his gentle big blue eyes there
shone light that lent
A radiance to his old face, and as seat
he took
He glanced about him with a smile-then
sought his pocketbook
And every one who gazed his way
Wished that his carfare they might pay
For that one CHEEKY look.
His clothes, though old and worn, were
clean and patched with loving care,
His trembling hands in homemade gloves;
the well-combed fringe of hair
Beneath his almost furless cap-all told Of
some one who
Loved this old man as much as when life's
partnership was new
A moment more and he unwound
The string with which his purse was bound
And brought his wealth TO view.
A scrap of cloth, pencil small, a key. and
next a dime
And then he stopped-in happy thoughts
he seemed lost for a time;
A faded tintype, that was ala sweet old
woman's face,
And yet he kissed it softly ere he put it
back in place,
And then we knew what made his life
So happy-just faithful wife
Gave his old age its grace.

IMPRovIsED KALEIDOSCOPE.

enough to admit the triangle of looking
glass. Close one end of the tube with
paper and make an opening in the
center to look through; while on the
other end of the tube you insert a
round piece of common window glass
and fasten it. Strew all sorts of small
objects, such as fine gravel, pieces of
colored glass, etc, on this round piece
of glass and place a second round piece
of glass over it in such way that
the small bodies have sufficient space
to move freely. After everything is in
order and well dried look through the
opening on the other end of the tube
and you will see the beautiful patterns.

AS the evening drew on and the sec
ond mail was brought up to Miss
Cranes, and yet the missing valentine
did not materialize, she began to feel
| almost reckless.
Dorothy was to have a few friends
in that night, and Miss Tabitha said
defiantly to herself: "I'll dress tonight
to look as young as any of them"
| Instead of wearing her hair plainly
parted, and done in hard knob at the
back of her head, she brushed her hair
up, and made a massive coil on the
top, arranging it in front in graceful
pompadour, low on the forehead, as
was startling even to herself. She put
on her one black silk, the waist of
which her niece had insisted on remod-
cling that winter by adding black
velvet and little white chiffon. Re-
membering that Dorothy had said that
coral was in vogue, she dived into the
depths of a cedar-wood chest, and
brought out an exquisite pin and
! bracelet. She then went down to the
living room, and going to her table of
plants, cut off some scarlet geraniums
and fastened them in her hair and belt.
| Half an hour before the guests were
expected there was knock at the door
and Miss Tabitha opened it herself
There stood Squire Upton in a long,
heavy ulster, his throat being well
wrapped up in silk muffler, for ne had
arrived lat an age when twinges Of
rheumatism warned MIN to be careful
of the night air.
"Tabby." he said TREMENDOUSLY, as he
| locked at her with admiration, you
knew that I'd come at once, after watt
ing rs years for an answer to my val
: entine."
Pm very glad to see you. DAN" she
| said, wonderingly, as it dawned upon
her that she must have directed the
tender missive to him instead of her
self
The two faithful lovers seated them
selves on the haircloth sofa in the par
lor, and seemed to lose sight of the
quarter of century which had elapsed
since that period when they had
popped corn, roasted chestnuts and
gone to the singing school together

ter 10 herself? There seemed no way
out of the dilemma.
Valentines day passed slowly by
Dorothy brought up the mail during
raa morning. 1t consisted of THE Dex-
eter News Letter" and THE Christian
Herald" Miss Tabitha felt uneasy
Where could her letter be? Could the
postmaster have seen through her silly
ruse. and refused to deliver it? The
more she thought of it the more wor-
ried she became.
Daniel Upton, or the squire, as he
was called. sat before his coy Frank
lin stove in the library. He was a
comfortable old bachelor of so years or
more. He wore a Powered dressing
gown, and as he read his paper, he
warmed his slippered feet on the fem
der. The Boston Journal" had some
verses on St. Valentines day, and as
they caught his eye his mind reverted
to a period of 25 years ago.
Il wonder why. Tabby never an
swered my proposal?" he thought.

meant when | sent that valentine"
A tap at the door reused him from
his reverie, and his man John appeared
with the mail. There were the usual
letters and papers that comprise law
years correspondence, but one envel-
ope caught his eye. Embossed flowers
adorned the corners, and on the plain
circle left for the address he read
Mrs. Daniel Upton"
He knew the writing, for he had
transacted business for Miss Tabitha
several times after her fathers death.
He opened it and held in his hand the
long delayed answer to his proposal of
25 years ago-a modern valentine!
1T took her all this time to make up
her mind he exclaimed aloud as he
read some lines beginning:
"Oh, come with me and be my love"
He rose and going to the pier glass
surveyed himself. His mustache was
decidedly gray, and his hair quite so.
"Woman's folly!" he calculated.
why did she need ID wait until we
were both past middle age before being
willing to marry?" 1t never occurred
to this bachelor that he had never
given Miss Tabitha the opportunity to
accept or refuse him.
He hurried through his routine bust

Paying the Fiddler.

A prominent Frenchman who, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune, has
given much study to the subject says
that were his country to be drawn into
great war in present conditions it
must be prepared to meet an expenditure
of 100000 francs a day. So stupen-
dous is the absolutely unavoidable out
lay when a mighty nation in these days
becomes involved in a conflict of the
largest proportions that taxpayers are
affrighted and appalled, at the mere
thought Of the thunder of the guns.

A SONG OF SATURDAYS.

Sing song of Saturdays.
Band of fifty-two,
Joining hands about the year,
What a merry crew!
How they make the hours dance!
How they shout with glee!
Yes, the happy Saturday
Is the day for me. So.
Sing a song of Saturdays,
Pearls upon chain,
Hung about the New Years neck
When she comes again.
AL among the other beads.
Pink or blue or gray,
How you love the shining CLEAN
OF a Saturday.
Sing a song of Saturdays,
Roses in a wreats;
Fifty-two so big and bright
Who would look beneath?
Other days may be as green,
Others bloom as fair.
Yet single Saturday
We could never spare.
Sing a song of Saturdays

Here We halt to take breath,
Ease the weary load

Toward the goal We seek
Then, refreshed, We travel on

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. Oak, March 2s.-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story of G. w. Gray,
who after "a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid-
cred incuIaDle, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there is remedy
which will cure it, even in the most adj
vanced stages. This is what he says:
81 was helpless as little babe. My
wife and searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright 5
Disease, hoping that would be able to
find remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that | should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l praise God for the day
when l decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase of my case and in a
short time | was able to get out of bed,
and after a few weeks treatment l was a
strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved my life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease
will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

CHANGE IN SCHEDULE
H0THFRs BASEBALL FANS
There VIII Be But Two
Home Games a Week in
July

The schedule arranged in Harrisburg
on Sunday last. which cut out all games
except those with Tri-state teams.
continues to bring out many discussions
among the fans.
Many objections have been made to
this arrangement, but what displeases
the rooters most (and they are the
people who spend their money on the
game and have TO be consldered) is the
fact that the locals will be away many
Saturdays and just the part Of the sea-
son that Saturday games pay best.
Under this schedule, which goes into
effect on July s, the Wilmington team
will not be home another Saturday un-
til August 6, and but six all season.
"A careful study Of the schedule shows
that the locals have as many home
Saturdays as any of the other teams,
but they are not arranged in an order
that promises to be very beneficial to
the local owners. II is bound TO hurt
the game for the attendance demands
Saturday games, as it is a half holiday
in nearly all of the shops A Saturday
occasionally would probably not make
much difference, but it is out of the
question to think Of being away four
straight and hold the crowds
This schedule also gives Wilmington
but two home games week during
July. Why should an independent
teams be eliminated? Many good
teams outside of the Tri-State draw
nearly as largely as those under the di-
rection Of the Honorable w. C. Farms
worth, Of Harrisburg Pa. If this keeps
up the clique that is now dominating
an the actions Of the Tri-State Ass6-
ciation viii soon be debating who can
and who cannot attend bah games in
Wilmington. This is more than ever
the dictators in the big leagues at
tempted When any major league team
has day Off they play wherever and
whoever they please
It is understood that President Stir
lith. who attended the meeting last
Sunday put up strenuous kick
against the schedule and it is to be
hoped that he did The sentiment
among the fans is that they would like
to see Wilmington get in the Eastern
League.
