HOW DAN KENT MISSED HIS
THANKSGIVING BANQUET.

but he let a lot of sentiment into 1t.
Sentimental passages never look right
to a sensible girl who reads them in a
letter from man she has never seem
Besides, Dan wasn't exactly master
Of rhetoric at that time, and what he
wrote could have been couched in terms
of infinitely greater tact and delicacy
by any second rate romance writer.
His first faux pas, however, was in in
closing a post-ofice order for $50, "a
trust you Will accept until such time,
&c.
1t was awful, of course, but Dan was
young and he meant to do kind Office
to the orphan girl in Oldsburg. When
he mailed the letter it dawned upon
him that he had made an ass of him
self. The more he conned over the
sentences which he had meant to be
the finest, the surer he was that they
were coarse, impertinent, idiotic. She
would be offended at his tone, inSulted
at his offer to loan her money. II
feel that there is bond of sympathy
between u.s." ETC., had been the best he
could think of as IAN approach" to the
mention of a loan, but now it sounded
inexpressibly silly.
He got her answer by return mail,
and when he tore open the envelope the
$50 fell on the floor: SERVES me
right he gasped, but his eyes began to
bulge when he saw the first line of
the letter itself:
"Dear.dear FRIEND" it began. "Sad,
sad, indeed must that heart be which
cannot be cheered by the sweet deli
cacy and soulful sympathy of a friend
like you. o, how my lonesome heart
goes out responsive, and yet"
"Slush !"
That's what Dan said. He could
hardly force himself to read it. If his
letter had been badly framed, hers was
the dregs of gush. A wild hope that
Kate Colvin hadn't written it seized
him, but the narrowest comparison
showed it to be her handwriting.
There was nothing absolutely immod-
est in her historical epistle, but it fair
ly oozed sentimentality, which Dan
was sure he would always despise in a
woman.
''Glad to get back my fifty, anyhow"
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1905-09-30

When his father died, Dan grieved
like a man, and regained his spirits like
the wholesome, clean-hearted youth he
was; but he forgot about the COlvlnS
after he had answered the widows let
ter of coincidence. He remembered
them again when he saw in the Odds
burg Banner the obituary of Mrs. Kate
Niebling Colvin. He ought to have
gone to Oldsburg sc comfort the orphan
girl, but he dislike funerals and he
of the old town. 5 he wrote a letter
to Kate, as he had promised his
father, sending such words of comfort
as stranger must, but Offering to be
of any assistance in his power. He
scarcely expected a reply, but he got
one within week.
1t was a stilted. studied letter. She
was grateful for kind words from the
son of her mothers kind friend She
would do quite well, she thought, when
teacher. Her work might help her to
forget. 1t was a dismal 1etter-just
like Oldsburg, he thought-and he did
not answer it. A month later he got
another from her. Would he kindly
buy for her kinyon's pedagogical chart?
1t would cost about 81. which she in
closed. Il will be ever SO much
obliged" she concluded. He found the
chart, which cost So, and sent her
note in which he said he was glad to
he was loser by 50 in the transaction.
Within a fortnight another letter
came to him from Kate Colvin. in
which she said that she had just
learned the chart had cost So, perhaps
more, and that she would return the
balance the moment her salary was
paid. They are in arrears with me for
the last two months" the latter said,
but I am sure they will pay Us before
Christmas"
To Dan Kent there was something
poignantly sad in the plain, simple, but
accomplishing statement of the coun-
try school teachers poverty. Two dol
Lars! He was making money and
spending it as 1avishly as a self-re-
speeding young man could Evidently
poor Kate Colvin could not spare s.
from a scanty hoard that might not be
replenished at once. He was a gen.
erous, tender fellow, and, somehow,
that bald, almost childlike confession
of girls lonely struggle for the bene-
fits which he won so easily and regard
ed SO lightly, gave sharp sting to his
gentle sl,1rit and clouded his radiant
face.
Then he made a natural but q most
egregious mistake. He wanted to write
Q kind, sympathetic and helpful letter
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1905-09-30

The Kents-father and son-came to
Chicago when Dan was small boy,
so that the latter soon forgot about all
he knew of Oldsburg and its people. Ii
lie had been older he might have been
gladder to forget it, for there misfor-
tune had overtaken his family, his
mother had died, and his vague recOl-
lection of the place pictured the one
long, dismal street down which he rode
in a carriage to. the cemetery, where
the autumn leaves reeked in cold rain
and the clay falling into a grave sound
ed like the thump of his old toy drum.
Dan Kent, having a merry heart,
didn't want to cherish any such dreary
memories. Sc he had grown to man
hood without -evisiting the home of his
infancy. Not so his father. The old
man managed to stay away from the
scene of his disaster till Joshua Colvin
died. Then he went to the funeral of
his old friend and partner, and ever
after, up to the time of his death, main
tanned a habit of periodical visits to the
old home town. Dan thought this odd
at first; then he began to suspect that
there was some old long buried ro-
nance between his father and the
Widow Colvin.
You're right, Dan,'' said the old
man, when his son twitted him about
the Oldsburg visits. I'D marry her
now if 1 wasn't 50 old and poor, and if
you take my advice you'll go after her
daughter, Kate"
They were like brothers in their
frank and loving relationship in those
days, and Dan, who liked to banter
his father, was almost glad to shave
something" on the old man. But when
the elder Kent grew feeble he talked
always more and more of the Colvins.
If they were a joke with Dan, they
were not SO with his father.
Il wish you'd go up and see them,'
he would say. 81 can't any more, and
DAM wish you'd see Kate-young
Kate. Bet you'd fall in love with her
in spite of yourself. / wish you would
and marry her."
And u few days before he died:
Dan, if anything happens to Kate
or her mother, will you do what you
can for them? Promise, Dan. You'll
write to them, anyhow

SOME HINTS TO DAIRYMEN
'Cheesemaker's Ten Commandmsnts''
Give Farmers Number Of
Fine Pointers.

There are a good many useful articles
printer relative to the matter of proper
handling of the product Of the dairy
arm, but writer in late issue of the
Cheese and Dairy Journal seems to have
ait on an entirely different method Of
putting forth some of the essentials.
While his remarks are couched under
The Cheese Makers Ten Command
nents," still there are doubtless some
hints that may be read with interest,
and we may add with profit, by many
readers Of the Prairie Farmer. We do
not presume to infer that all of the ills OF
the dairy business rests with the farm
er, but IL is certainly true that when he
has mastered his end of the business we
will have a great deal better grade of
dairy produce than we have in many tn
stances at the present time. We quote
from our contemporary as follows:
/. Thou shalt not slumber late in
the morning, but shall arise early and
deliver thy milk to the factory. for he
that goeth late causeth the cheese
maker to use much profane language.
2. Thou shalt not cast all the dirt thou
capst brush of the COW into the milk
pail
8. Thou shalt not take any cream for
Thy tea or coffee, for when thou gettest
-hy dividends thou wilt ask thy neigh
Dor, wherefore gettest thou more for
.hy milk than dol?
d. Thou shalt not mix water With thy
milk. thou nor thy man servant nor
by maid servant, for so surely as thou
loest this thing thy name will be Simple
over the length and breadth of the pa
irons route
5. Thou shalt not feed thy cows all
the old potatoes onions, horseradish.
mustard, rape and cabbage that thou
canst find, for though these feeds may
be cheap as all outdoors yet II causeth
the cheese maker to gnash his teeth
and hold his nose and the cheese eater
Will buy his cheese elsewhere.
G Thou shalt not set thy can of milk
in the cellar without covering for a
mousetrap, nor In The woodshed as q
temption to thy ueighbor's cat, but thou
shalt have a nice tank out in the fresh
air near thy well TO set thy can In.
Z. Thou shalt not carry away more
whey than thy share lest some one will
say concerning the, For a wonder
one hog carrieth food for another"
s. Thou shalt not use unclean GINS,
but shalt cause thy cans to be washed
and scrubbed clean every day and
seams and crevices and kinks thereof
for filthy can Is an abomination In
the cheesemaker's sight and he will
visit wrath upon him that bringeth It.
g. Thou shalt not trouble the cheese
maker saying, When shall receive
my pay" when as practice thou get
teth it every first of the mouth. for
verify | say unto thee. unless thou
bringest thy milk in sanitary cDndi-
ton, he knoweth not nor careth a little
bit.
10. Thou shalt not say unto another
Behold, have not these cheese makers
a soft snap: they receive much pay and
do but little work." Verify I say unto
you, this is a whopper. They rise early
and toll late and peradventure the buy
ers refuse the cheese they will be
obliged to toll all day Sunday wher
other people are tanning themselves
within the gates of the synagogue.
