Sarah Jane Williams, daughter Of
Farmer John Williams, was character
tied by her parents as pigheaded
girl They said she had been pigheaded
even IN her babyhood days and had
grown worse as she grew older When
asked by her in reply TO furnish bill
or particulars, about all they could
bring forward was the fact that at
seventeen she had refused 10 marry
lightning rod man twice her age that
at eighteen she had Scorned a patent
hayfork agent who had fallen in love
with her at first sight, at nineteen she
had refused TO receive the attentions
of an old widowCr who owned the only
windmill for ten miles around and at
twenty she was taken up" with Har-
ry Seymour, son of a nearby farmer in
moderate circumstances
The girl did not deny that she meant
10 marry Harry. But the old folks had
other plans in view. They wanted her
to look higher, even as high as the com
mission man who came through the
country every fall buying up thou

months he had been as good as forbid

The lovers difficulties simply in

termined on an elopement when Uncle
Ben Churchill arrived on a visit and
with him a distant relative. Uncle Ben
was Mrs Williams brother, and the
distant relative was a second cousin to
both and a young man of twenty-five.
The first thing that Uncle Ben did was
TO discover that Sarah wanted to mar
ry and that her parents We're opposed
TO the match. The first thing that the
second cousin did was to fall in love
with Sarah Jane. That made three
complications on hand at once, and

A Smuggling Scheme,

Many are the devices employed by
sliugglers both by land and sea. A
very smart trick is related Of a method
by which brandy was conveyed
through Paris. Regularly, day after
day, a tandem bicycle made Its way
through one Of the gates into the city
and attracted no attention. The same
pair OF cyclists rode 1t always and ap-
peared to be but workmen Fastening to
their work from their homes In the
suburbs. One morning, just after the
machine was through the gates, 1t
went TO earth, unseating both the
riders. The man who had occupied the
front seat jumped to his feet, grabbed
the machine, vaulted into the saddle
and rode for his life, never giving a
glance at bis stunned companion. AS
tonished, the customs oflcerse who had
witnessed the mishap, rushed to the
aid Of the fallen man, who showed no
signs of life. They were still more sur
prised when they reached him. for he
wasn't man at all, but just dummy
with movable legs and arms, a false
head and face and q hollow body Of
rubber. He had punctured in the fall
and ten gallons Of the best brandy was
making It's exit as quickly as 1t could.

In the billy country two industries
come to help agriculture namely. silk
raising and lacquer. To name only one
district, the villages along the Naka-
scndo have gained much by modern
improvements In silk raising The
lacquer tree may possibly have been
imported from China, as so many
other trees and plants were but IL GER

most necessities of daily life. They
raise most of what is used In certain
provinces, but Tokyo imports a good
deal of juice to be manufactured
there.
The tree is q species of rhus, closely
allied to our poison ivy and having the
same power to produce an irritating
rash on the skin. The workers get over
this, however, and do not have It
again but they say that people some
times get it from handling bowls or
trays which have not been dried long
enough.
To get the sap the farmer cuts q
notch in the side of each tree, and aft
er Il time a thick juice oozss out; then
the farmer goes around with a wooden
spatula gathering the drops into a pail
1t will keep for a long while, but must
not be allowed to dry up nor to be
heated above certain point, for II
contains a peculiar acid which causes
the juice to ferment and harden. The
pieces that have been varuished must
therefore be dried in mild and moist
air. Tokyo in August is usually Just

Either Young or O.d.
There is no more delightful trait u
the young or the old than absolute
frankness and opeuuc~s pf nature
that transparency of character wliol
lets us see the best and the worst lu
them, their strong and their weak
points. without any effort ar conceal

Everybody admires the open heart

conceal and who do not Try TO cover
up their faults and weaknesse~. They
are as rule, Iarged hearted and
magnanimous They inspire love and
confidence, and, by their very frank
ness and simplicity, invite the same
qualities in others.
Secretiyeness repels as much as
frankness attracts There is some
thing about the very inclination To- con
ceal or cover up which arouses sus
picion aud distrust. We cannot have
the same confidence ig people who
possess this trait, no matter how good

secretive people is ike travelling ON q

is always a feeling Of uncertainty
We may come out all right, but there
is a lurking fear Of some pitfaIl or
unknown danger ahead Of us. We
are uncomfortable because Of the i'm
certainties They may be all right
and may deal squarcly with Us. but
the trouble IS that we are not sure
and cannot trust them No matter
how polite or gracious a secretive per.
son may be, we can never rid our
selves of the feeling that there is %
motive behind his gTaciousness, and
that he has an ulterior purpose In

an enigma, because he goes through
life wearing a mask. He endeavors
to hide every trait that is not favor

How different the man who comes
out in the open, who has no secrets.
who reveals his heart to us and who is
frank, broad and liberal. How quick
" he wins our confidence. How we all
love and trust him. We forgive him
for many slip or weakness because
he is always ready to confess his faults
and to make amends for them If he
has bad qualities they are always In
sight, and we are ready 10 make al
lowances for them. His heart is sound
and true: his sympathies are broad and
active. The very qualities he possesses
