might ballooning has a charm that
is all its own" says Monsieur Santos
Dumont. who had plenty of experience
with the old-fashioned spherical bal
loon before he invented his new dirigi-
bic air ship. ''One is alone in the
black void, true, In murky limbo
where one seems to float without
weight, without surrounding world
soul freed from the weight of matter.
Yet now and again there are the lights
of earth to cheer one. We see a point
of light far ahead. Slowly it expands.
Then where there was one blaze, there
are countless bright spots. They run
in lines, with here and there a brighter
cluster. We know that it is city.
Then again it is out into the lone
land, with only faint glow here and
there. When the moon rises we see
perhaps, faint curling line of gray

its waters.
There is fash upward and faint
roar. 1t is railway train, the locomo-
tive fires, maybe, Illuminating for a
moment the smoke as it rises.
Then we throw out more ballast
and rise through the black solitudes Of
the clouds into sou.-lifting burst of
splendid starlight. There, alone with

And when the dawn comes, red and
gold and purple in its glory, one is al
most loath to seek the earth again.

just to hear Mr.. Mason preach! Isn't
there all the wise preachers of the great
city for him to pick and choose among?
And isn't it right, too, for him to put
all the coarse, mechanical work upon his
employees? I don't see why you people
should find so much fault with Prof.
Huntley. 1 think he's a splendid gentle
man, and 1 am dying to make his ac-
quaintance. But l must hurry out. Mr..
Mason is only across the street"
Shaking her head at her mother, Miss
Lizzy, pulling up. the long gloves, and
pulling down the long sunbonnet, ran out
into the garden. chirping a little frag-
ment of love ditty.
"She won't hear a word against that
Huntley," said Mrs. Wickly with laugh.
Il believe the girls in love with man
she never saw. So do"
'Oh, like enough. like enough! She
isn't in love with Mason, though! Poor
fellow! l absolutely pity him, Matt. She
leases and worries him to death, when
ever she can bring herself TO bear his
society for a minute. Now, she'll hoe
that garden till high noon if he stays in
the house that long. I've mind to send
him into the garden just to tease her a
little"
Better let her have her own way
about it. If she doesn't like his COM
pany, the less she has of it the better
she will be pleased. And l don't want
her to get so she won't speak to him.
For his preaching and example have GER
tainly done great deal in stimulating
her to more persistent work at her writ
ing. And that pleases me. Besides, he
has obtained for her the writing up of
little summer resort pamphlet for some
of the railroads, and she Is to get nearly
q hundred dollars for it. Think of that
and other work that it will naturally
bring! That's how she can let you 60 to

Mr.. John gave a low whistle, and NUT

supposed it was in reality rrof. Hunt

as the sailors would say, about amid
ships, and swept her off her feet quicker
than lightning.
The desperate kicking of Mr.. Hardy
knocked out the head of the barrel, and
Immediately two red-stockinged legs, of
apparently abnormal length protruded
from the orifice. Mr.. Hardy rode a
wheel, and his last venture in stockings
had been bright scarlet, and in the dim
light of the cellar his two legs looked
like pillars of CONCEALED blood.
Directly the barrel rose a couple of
feet from the floor, and began to walk
toward the spot where Mrs. Hardy was
struggling TO her feet.
1t was too much for even a woman
who believed in perfect self-control in
emergencies, and Sarah Ann, with wild
whOOp of terror, scudded up the stairs,
and into her bedroom. where locking the
door behind her, she jumped into bed.
and drew the bedclothes UP over her
head.
Mr.. Hardy, still barrel-encased STUN
bled along toward the outside cellar door,
which opened at his pressure, and let
him out upon the sidewalk. where in
Jones and her lover were trying to get
up cOurtge to say goodnight.
My own precious darling. My dear
est. the young man was saying, Il
would die for you gladly. Yes, for your
sake 1 would brave any danger, and
willingly shed the last drop of blood in
my body-Great Scott. what the-the
dickens!'
Bump. bump, bump, came Hardy and
his barrel. right up against the back of
the devoted young man, who, as the novel
writer's say, gave vent to a cry that
rent the heavens" and fled down the
street, where he was promptly gathered
IN by an amateur policeman, who had
been put on for just that day, and who
was anxious to cover himself with glory.
The last bump burst the hoops on the
barrel. the slaves parted, and the long
suffering Mr.. Hardy leaped forth.
The flour which had adhered to the
barrel plastered him from his head down
to his knees, and his appearance was
most grotesque. not to saw awe inspiring.
His white body and his red legs were de-
scribed in the local papers next morning
as like the body Of a dead man. with
the life blood streaming down his lower
limbs" and the eloquent reporter added
| that the storm of imprecations which
issued from his pallid lips was a specta-
Gle for angels to weep over"
But Mr.. Hardy did not wait for any
weeping. He rushed past Kitty Jones,
who had fallen down in a swoon, and,
jumping the fence, fled TO Bankers barn.
where he ensconced himself in the hay
NOW and slept until morning.
Mrs. Hardy still tells the gruesome
story of the supernatural appearance in
the cellar. and she says it must have
been the ghost of her poor Uncle Tim
othy, who was in the war and died and
was buried at sea, and consequently did
not leave any grave behind him to be
decorated.
She says she thinks he feels a little
jealous as Decoration Day comes round,
and she distinctly heard him call her
name, Sarah Ann" She furthermore
says that he always had an awful ap-
petite for mince pie. At this stage OF
the story, it is observed, Mr.. Hardy al
ways closes his off eye and INDUCES in
a very audible chuckle.-Peoples Home

Sandtown, that is the exact amount OF

If the greatest study of mankind is
man, the next greatest study is the
soil; for upon the soil depends the
preservation of man, says Cyril G.
Hopkins. II il is true that American
agriculture is the fundamental sup
port of the American nation, it is
equally true that soil fertility is the
absolute support of American agri-
culture. If he who makes two blades
of grass grow where but one grew be-
fore is a public benefactOr; then he
who reduces the fertility of tde soil
so that but one ear of corn grows
where two have been grown is pub
lie curse.

NOTES IND COMMENTS.

An Illinois judge rules IN effect that
in killing a college student railroad
did the boys parents a good turn be-
cause "he was an expense TO them"
which is now ended. The decision
seems to better that of the Jersey
court which valued child's life at 81.
The death of Joseph Jefferson re-
wives memories of the intolerance
which gave THE Little Church
Around the Corner" its fame. 1t is
interesting to note concerning the
present ecclesiastical attitude toward
the actor that Sir Charles Wyndham
was received in audience by the Pope
recently.

The Nashville American thinks that
the mercenary spirit is growing; that
we are tending more and more 10
measure everybody and everything
by money. 1t pleads for and looks for
ward to a higher standard: We are
living and have been living in period
of wealth-developing of money-mak-
ing, of industrialism and commercial
ism in which have grown up colossal
fortunes through the development OF
the enormous natural advantages OF
this wonderful country. In such
period of industrialism success is apt
to be measured by individual wealth
or Gaming capacity. But We shall
come more and more to understand
and appreciate the true standard; 10
estimate men, not in dollars and
cents, but according to their real
worth. The worlds greatest benefac-
tors have been men who lived and
died poor in material wealth. The
scholar, the patriot, the statesman,
the artist. the scientist, the teacher,
the moral exemplar, these in the
greatness of their work, make the
mere money grubber seem meanly
small.
