AN OFFICER RODE THROUGH THE VILLAGE
Jack was marching with the hosts that
swelled the ranks of the Union armies
But one day the widow received a let
ter that brought tears and brightness
to her face again.
jack was promoted. 1t wasn't the
money, he wrote. 1t was the honor
He was the youngest captain in his
division. But above everything else
it was the certainty that he would OBJ
tain a few days furlOugh If it was
only for one day he would hasten home
to her
SO the widow resumed life again
where it had apparently snapped off
when Jack marched away. Everything
appetizing and healthy grew apace in
her garden. Her flowers were the
envy of all her neighbOrs. But her
sweet peas. They We're the marvel of
all who passed that way In height
thickness and beauty they surpassed
all that eyes had ever witnessed.
1t was Archie Ray, an old flame of
the widows, who said one day:
Dashed if l ever see anything like
them vines, Mrs. Lacy. Must be an
uncommon growth you've got. Why,
man coming along the lane back
there can't see your house till he gets
bang up against it. I'd given all l was
paid for fighting in Mexico just to get
behind a screen like that at Monterey.
Why, it d mask Il battery nicely"
Twenty good yards across the end Of
her lot the sweet peas stretched. The
travellers on the great thOroughfare
saw a mass, a blaze of lovely, varie-
gated color The widows senses told
her that they were as delicate, those
flowers, as sweet and as fragile as the
babes that had lain in her arms a brief
time and then were recalled by the
Giver of all bounty. She rejoiCed now
that Jack had laughingly put the trel-
lis higher even than she had desired.
One morning Git was about a month
after Jack was promoted his mother
was STOPPING, scissors in hand, in front
of her sweet peas.
AS she looked lovingly on the wall of
green dashed with the spray of I'M
folding buds and full blown flowers a
low rumble fell upon her. 1t was like
the rumble of a dying storm. The
widow listened attentively. Yes, the
sky looked dull over there where the
sound came from; there was a some
thing that foretold a change
BY the time her tables and maptels
were adorned with fresh flowers the
rumbling sound was more distinct and
so regular and frequent that the wild
Ow walked out. and looked up and
down the valley. The meaning of the
sounds she heard dawned upon her.
The mighty armies had met in battle
The thick sky was only the dust made
by countless feet as men marched in
battle array. The rumbling sound was
the boom, boom of cannon.
A strange hush fell over nature. The
COWS stood anxious eyed in the brook,
the chickens moved about uncertainty
in wary manner, while the geese
stood stupidity in the middle of the
dusty road with uplifted heads.
Long before noon the rumble of artil-
lery was distinct. The dust rose in
clouds; dull red pillars assembled slow
ly, bulged and swayed, rejecting the
suns rays, warped and twisted them
selves, then melted away.
A strange sound, a mufTled sound like
the faint swapping of sticks, was watt.

The Quality of Mercy.

An amusing story is told Of DR..
Gruby of Paris, the physician who Is
well known for his efforts to protect
animals from cruelty. The story
would lead one to infer that the good
doctor, like ''Uncle Toby" in Sternes
"Tristram Shandy," includes insects
within the horizon of mercy. One day
the doctor was much annoyed by the
buzzing of bluebottle fly against his
windows. The doctor summoned an
attendant, whom he directed to open
the window and carefully put the fly
outside. The servant, sto knew his
masters kindness, called attention to
the fact that at that moment it was
raining heavily. 'True," responded
the doctor. Then, after moments
perplexed reflection, he exclaimed tri-
umphantly: cat least, you may put
him in the waiting room! There he
may stay till the weather b fair

ness of the way,
That it does not surely MATERIAL the
strange and bitter stress,
Heat and cold, and toll and SORROW
twill be healed with blessedness,
For the road leads home?
Home! the safe and b1iSsful shelter where

treasures early rent
From your holding shall be given BACK

oh, you will not mind the journey with
such bieSsedness in store,
When the road leads home.
Oh, you will not mind the roushness nor
the steepness of the way,
Nor the chill unrested morning, nor the
dreariness of the day:
And you will not take turning to the
left or to the right
But go straight ahead, nor tremble at the
coming of the night.
For the road leads home.
And often for your comfort you will read

It has wisdom for the mind and sweet

Bv Wire and Air.

An accidental experiment in the yeloc-
ity of sound is recounted by CORE
spondent. He went to his telephone,
and just as he put the receiver to his
ear he heard the click of another tele-
phone Another receiver had been re-
moved and the line was open. Then he
heard through the telephone the shrek
of locomotive whistle, and few sec
onds later the sound came through the
open window in the usual way. Looking
up, he saw a locomotive half mile
away, passing the house of friend.
The mystery was solved. The telephone
that was open was that at the distant
house, and the sound of the whistle had
come through its transformation into an
electric current quicker than it had trav-
eled through the air.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

corruption.
New Jersey gives annually $25O,OOO
as aid. The state pays one-third of the
cost, the counties two-thirds, and ten
per cent of the counties share may be
assessed on the townships. The state
has apportioned in the last ten years
$1,500,0O0. The counties have spent
more than double this amount, as they
pay for bridges, surveying and inciden-
tails. There have been builded by state
aid $50 miles of road in New Jersey,
and at the beginning of the year there
had been applications for the improve
ment of 4S0 miles. When the law was
first proposed there was strong opposi-
ton to it, especially from the county.
Now the applications from the counties
are always ahead of the state appropria-
tons

FARM NOTES.

Be systematic in the training OF
young horses.
Sheep to thrive well require frequent
change of food.
Comfort is prime condition of ami
NAL growth, and this can be secured
only by comfortable surroundings.
Corn silage is about equal in value to
roots for fattening and maintaining
sheep. Give the sheep all they will eat
I'D clean.-Orange Judd Farmer.
Fattening steers must be supplied
with all the fresh water they want; 9TH
erwise they will become restless and will
not make the proper gains.-Orange
Judd Farmer.
It is unnecessary to feed grain to
horses in winter if they are not at work,
Hay contains more mineral matter
etarch and protein than an idle horse
will require, and grain Is of no advan-
tage. 1t is proper, however, to give
horses a variety.-Midland Farmer.

THE JAPS AND THE MULE.
Rice Growers of Nippon Are Not Anx-
ious to Employ the Hybrid
in Their Work.

so the Japanese rice growers are
not willing to tackle that interesting
native institution, the American mule,
without the aid of home folk" said
an obseryant man, according to the
New Orleans Times Democrat. "and
I can see where they are right about
the matter. The American mule Is
a long-eared. quick-heeled, supple
ter how wise he may be, can do any
thing with him unless he have special
training. AS a matter of fact. the
white man in America is sadly de
ficient when 1t comes to working
knowledge of the mule. Up to the
present writing the American negro
is the only living person who can
claim anything like mastery when it
comes to the mule. Somehow there
is something in the nature Of the
black man and the mule which makes
1t easier for them to get along. Just
what it is I do not know. But even
the black man will have his ups and
QOWuS now anu Iueu Will IuS uuulC,
and l have seen some very interest
ing instances of this kind, one Of the
most amusing being that of an ex.
tremely hard skulled negro who never
wanted better weapon than his head
in any sort of conflict with man or
beast.
Zone day he fell out with his mule.
Ordinarily, they get along well enough
together But in some way the mule
on the day in question made the
negro mad and the fight began. In
the first place, the negro broke his
water jug over the mules head. This
did not feaze the animal. Grabbing
the mule by the ears and taking a
good, firm grip, the black man landed
with vigor between the mules ears
using his head as weapon. The blow
was a knockout blow all right, but
the trouble was that it knocked the
| negro out also. Both mule and negro
fell to the ground like dead. In q
short while both were fairly good
| friends again. The Japs are right
They will need special training or

they can get to do the training"
