She Always Made Home Happy.

a plain marble stone, in a New
England church-yard, bears this brief
inscription, "She always made home
happy"
This epitaph WAS penned by a be-
reaved husband, after sixty years Of
welded life. He might have said of
his departed wife, she was beautiful
and accomplished, and an ornament
to society, and vet not said she made
home happy He might have added,
she was a Christian. and not have
been able to say, "Sre always made
home happy"
What rare combination OF virtues
and graces this wife and mother must
have possessed. How wisely she must
have ordered her house In what
patience she must have possessed her
soul How self. denying she must
have been. How tender and loving
How thoughtful for the comfort Of all
about her
Her husband did not seek happi.
ness IN public places, because he found
purer and sweeter enjoyment at home.
Her children, when away, did not
dread to return, for there was no
place TO them 20 dear as home. There
was their mother thinking for them,
and praying for them, longing for
their coming.
When tempted. they thought of her.
When in trouble, they remembered
her kind voice and her ready sympa-
thy. When sick, they must 60 home;
they could not die away from their
dear mother.
THIS wife and mother was not ex-
empt from the cares common to her
place. She tolled she suffered dis
and bereavements she
was afflicted IN her own person, but
yet che was submissive and cheerful.
The Lords will concerning her was
her will, and so she passed away,
leaving this sweet remembrance be-
hind her "Sbe always made home
happy"

Rockefeller In Church.

The only public place in which Mr..
Rockefeller appears with any regular
lty Is at the services Of Baptist
church in the community where be
happens to be living. He Is psrticu-
larlv devoted to the services of the
Euclid Avenue Baptist Church Of
Cleveland, and rarely from Nay to
October does be miss the Sunday
meetings, and he always appears at
the annual Sunday school p.cnlc.
Here he seems to be at his freest, here
he even makes litla speeches on oc-
casiors. Aud ye. 10 one who from a
pew watches Mr. Rockefeller in the
bos Of hischucn, it seems As If the
ShaIay service can b. nothing but au
ordeal. The writer was once present
at the annual October gathering in

faces OF those before him. No child
in the assembly was so uneasy. All
through the church service which fol-

III his pew, for a moment, ms eyes Iu-
tent on the speaker, then with 3
start he looked TO his right, searching

neck to look backward. Then his
eyes would turn again to the speaker.
But not to stay there. A few mo.
ments later he was searching the alsles
to his lett, cranlng again to see be-
mud him. Those who have observed
Mr.. Rockefeller in church over long
period Of years say that he has shown
this uueaslness for years. Uncon-

the oft-repeated threats OF the multi.

their word, besides keeping their chill

at home, so that each grew up with
out sight OF one Of the opposite sex.
One day when Earnest was twenty,
growing restive under his father
watchfulness, he stole away and rode
to the verge Of the estate. suddenly
he started. a creature such as he
had never seen before, seated on
horseback, with a falcon on its wrist,
was looking at him with an astonish-

Its a creature come down from

Earnest spurred his horse to the wall

"How nice your cheek is with no

"But yours is SO much stronger
The curves Of your body-how

Somehow l feel desire to place
my lips against your cheek"
"Try it and see what it's like.
He placed his lips upon her cheek
and repeated the experiment several
times.

Il don't know.
He tried it a great many times.
"It's heavenly he exclaimed.

"This arm of mine exactly fits the

You are more splendid than the

She did not reply at once. He
supposed she was thinking OF another

eiety, Thomas Nelson Page. Modesty
forbade Hon. Joe Bailey from giving a
direct answer to the question. but he
heatedy asked why DIR. Alderman did
not inquire also about the present day
Websters, Lincolns and Choates. He
pointed out the fact that while the quality
Of Southern congressman may not be SO
high as formerly, it compares favorably
with those of the representatives from
other sections and states that he has
scant respect for Southern educators
who dispraise their own neighbors.
There is little doubt of the truth of
Senator Bailey's assertion, and it is
equally true that of all the men in public
life fifty AMI sixty years ago were not
Websters, Calhouns, Clays nor Lincolns.
But, as MFR. Page explained, DR.. Alder
man was speaking to Southern au-
dience--among home folks--and his crit
icism was not of our public men, but of
he people who sometimes make such
poor selections. Needless to say, how
ever, Mr.. Bailey's feelings are still ruff

Doubtless the professor. is aliright when
