asked archly.
NO: alone"
Tillie shook her pretty head in re-
fusal. but her heart beat faster. There
was something new in the mans tone
something masterful and commanding,
that she had never known before.
After few minutes he wandered.
with apparent listlessness, to the fire
place and. turning. faced the group.
'Tillie!"
AT the sound of the firm. compelling
voice eight astonished faces were
bright eyes gazed at him in constrained
silence.
He took out his watch and held 1t IN
his hand. He looked only at Tillie. For
him the others were not there. Some
foreshadowing of the greatness that
was yet to be his fell upon the thin
face and gaunt figure and lent a
strength and dignity that awed the
girls soul and held her gaze captive.
.'Tillie." speaking slowly and clearly.
''in exactly two minutes l am going to
propose to you. II you wish your seven
friends to remain have no objection"
A horrified. gasping oh" in several
different voices, rustic of silken petit
coats. and seven breathless girls scam
pered out into the hall and up the
stairs.
'Of course she'll refuse himr' cried
the girl who wrote stories. ''Isn't he
horridr'
NO" answered the wob.an who read
stories "He is manifesting the one
needful quality. and Tillie will marry
him."

ait will show that she isn't bright
enough to recognize great man in the
days of his obscurity."
"In which case" added the girl with
the violin. II shall try for him my
self"
This was the last and certainly the
most astounding. Each girl went ST.
lently to her own room, feeling that a
great crisis had come in the life OF one
of the eight.
Left alone at last with the girl he
loved. Adams made no movement to
approach her. His eyes had never left
her face. and she had not been able
to look aside even when her compan
ions fed from the room.
"Tillie"-the grave voice grew sol
EMMY tender-'I have loved you for
years. and you have known 1t. There
was small need for me to declare n

ready to do for you all that man can
do for the woman he loves. Come to
me. Tillie. and tell me that my love Is
returned. that you will be my wife.
Tillie"-
He held out his hand. the great.
bony hand that wore no ring and could
not play the piano. and the dark. home
ly face was illumined with the mighty
love and exceeding tenderness that
only a strong man knows.
The girl rose slowly. her eyes stin
fixed on his. and moved toward him as
II impelled by some stronger power.
Half way she stopped and raised a

WHEN CLOUDS ARE WELCOME
Baseball Players Have No Use for
Clear Skies,

The professional baseball player
does not let day go by without an
anxious look toward the sky as the
time draws near for the days game,
to gee whether there any any angels
lowering overhead. If there is any
thing in nature which the ballplayer
dislikes more than another it is
cloudless sky. An absolutely clear
sky is to the ballplayer high" sky,
and on such days it is more difficult
to judge a fly ball than under any
other conditions. The glare or shin
mer in the air when looking ct bright
blue, cloudless Sky has its effect on
the eye and in sense disturbs vision
and accuracy in judging the course
of the descending ball. At least that's
what all ballplayers say, and they
ought to know. So the clear sky, or
high sky. is their pet aversion.

How Much Sleep is Neeessary2

A proper amount of sleep is, of
course, absolutely essential to con-
tinued good health, but, if dietetic
habits are correct, it is a matter
which will regulate itself. If rule is
needed, one will follow naturally
from the fact that almost everyone
feels lnnguid on waking and is dis
posed to take another nap, no matter
how long he has been sleeping. This
is morbid sensation which it would
take too long to explain here. 1t is
enough to say that lack of sleep
should be made up, if possible, at. the
beginning and not at the end, The
best general rule is to rise at a CIV
en- hour every morning. whether tired
or not, and so to bed when sleepy,

STOVE IN The POCKET.
Chinese Ward of Winters Risors by
Carrying Hand Furnaces.

The contented smile of the "heathen
Chtnee" may be partially accounted
for by their Indifference to the cold
ness of the winter months. For in
the north of China they care not
whether they be indoors or out; they
always have stove with them in the
shape of hand furnace. Instead of
the fire being placed in the house it
is carried about the person, beneath
the thickly padded cotton garments
or in the hand; at times it is placed
beneath the chair on which the Celes-
tiai is seated. The discovery of this
unique method of avoiding winter S
rigors was made by traveller in Flu
ken province, whose attention was at
tracted to the universal and peculiar
deformities of its inhabitants. Strange
swellings projected in the most unac-
countable places on the anatomy of
the villagers. Speculations were set
at rest by an old gentleman, who re-
moved his coat and disclosed a small
copper furnace secured around his
waist with band and neatly covered
with basket work. This artificial
mode of warming the body is only re-
sorted to in time of extreme cold. as
on ordinary occasions the people deem
their thick clothing a sufficient pro
lection during winter.

SCHOOL ESSAY ON DUCKS.
Boys Writing Showed He Had Deeply
Studied the Subject.

A schoolboy in Jewel City, Kan.
was assigned to prepare an essay on
the subject of Ducks" and this is
what he wrote: THE duck is a low.
heavy-set girl, composed mostly of
meat and feathers. He is a mighty
poor singer. having a hoarse voice
caused by getting two many frogs in
his reck. He likes the water and
carries toy balloon in his stomach
to keep him from sinking. The duck
has only two legs and they are set
so far back on his running gears by
nature that she came purity near miss
ing his body. Some ducks when they
get big have curls on their tails anti
are called brakes. brakes don't have
to set or hatch, but just loaf, so
swimming and eat. If l was duck
I'd rather be drake every time"

THE season of catching cold is upon
u US. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the
most common and dreadful of diseases, is
a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen.
orally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows constituencies of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has a
cold oil the while seemingly, more or less
discharge from the nose hawking, spit
ting, frequent clearing of the throat, nos
trils stopped up, full feeling in the head
and sore, inf1amed throat.
Tho best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used never fails to cule q common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have leen cured of
chronic catarrh by single bottle of
Pernna, yet, as a rule, whel the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one
bottle is necessary to COMPLETE a cure.
Peruna has cured cases innumerablo
OF catarrh Of twenty years. standing.
1t Is the best, If not the only internal
remedy for chronic catarrh IN existence.
But prevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at
this season of the year AID thus prevent
what Is almost certain t. end in chronic
catarrh.

So Much-So Little!

$50 much to do. SO little done!"
Cecil Rhodes
Is there no debt that thou dost owe
To tighten others care and woe?
Is there no comfort thou canst give
To help another creature live?
Hast thou no peace thou canst bestow
And let a sadder being know?
oh, Fellow Pilgrim stop a while
To give a helpful. loving smile.
Thy life is not thine own to live,
As thou hast gained so much thou givel
But give not only of thy wealth,
Give, too. little-of thyself.
Oh. do not answer thus to me
I've greater cares that first must be. "
Thou canst not live this way, for, Friend,
What will confront thee at the end,
Since there is little comfort stored
For those who live to merely-hoard.
oh, Soul so stultifed and mean,
What bit Of love caust thou then glean7
With not one voice to intercede
And help thee in thy pressing need?
Look then to it. Ay, count the cost
OF precious, helpful moments-lost.
So much to do-so little done!
1T is not strange the Worlds unwon,
So little done by you and me,
So little love with Charity.

SHARKS IN TORPEDO WORK.
Suggestion That the Great Fish 81
Utilized in the Naval Service.

All sorts of queer devices are Of
fered the army board of ordnance and
Notifications as engines of destruc-
ton. One of the strangest sugges-
tons of this kind yet presented to the
consideration of the board contem-
plates the use of large fish. prefer
ably sharks, for the propulsion of sub
marine torpedoes. According to the
plan proposed a shark Is to be i'm
prisoned in tube at the rear end of
the projectile, and is to be controlled
in its movements by the active appli-
cation of wireless telegraphy.
In case the shark became restless
and attempted to swim away on his
own account it was to be given an
electric shock, and in that way kept
on it's course until the torpedo had
reached its target. Another remark
ably ingenious proposition emanated
from the same fertile brain, and con-
templated the employment of war
balloons in any desired direction. In
this case also the birds, harnessed
to the aerial vehicles, were to be CON
trolled in their movements by sys-
TEN of wireless telegraphy. These
balloons were to be provided with
tcrpedoes, or bombs, which could be
dropped at any desired point by the
use of wireless telegraphy.

The greatness of little things finds
frequent illustration in railway oper-
alton. A case has Just been discov-
cred where, nine years ago, an error
of five cents was made in the compu-
tation of rate sheet between two
given points. 1t was found upon in
vestigation that, as result of this
error, the two railways operating be-
tween the two points have lost up
ward of seventeen thousand dollars
during that time. This shows why
railways are SO strenuously opposed
to what are considered inconsequen-
tial reduction in rates.

The Future Life of Animals.

Sir William Blunden, a doctor and
baronet, has just favored meeting
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals with some views
on the future state Of animals. He
certainly believed" he said, "in the
future existence of animals, and
though he could not bring forward
evidence in support Of the PROPOSE
ton, he could not at the same time
bring forward evidence to the con,
trary. If they took the case of the
tinker's ass, which was born and
reared in hardship, he found it hard
to think that a merciful Creator
formed that animal merely to suffer
at the hands of man without receiv.
ing some compensation in the next
life, if not in the present"
