THE JUDGES STORY.
His Solicitors Hostess Would Not
Allow Him to Tell 1t,

HIS SOE1c1tOuS Hostess Would Not
Allow Him to Tell 1t.
The old judge had tried three times
to tell his story, and each time had
been interrupted by the solicitude Of
his daughter concerning the welfare Of
her guests. After the third Interrupt
ton her father waited with a formal
dignity that could not be ignored.
Excuse me, father" she apologized,
''yOu were going to tell us"
Il was going to tell you," he re-
piled, "of the time when 1 enjoyed
the pleasures Of the chase for three
weeks. It was down in King County.
You know" turning to the guests, ''the
reputation they have down there for
hospitality? Well, it surpasses it's rep
utatiOn-yes, sir, leaves it clear out of
sight. They make you gift Of the
whole estate the moment you enter its
gates; l believe if you asked for the
moon they'd contrive to have it on the
table for you at the next meal. AS
for the things they did have-the
chicken and mullins and spiced hams
WELL it's no use thinking about them
now
"Therc was just one thing that kept
1t from being paradise down there, and
that was that you couldn't tell story,
not if Mrs. Madison was at the ia
BILE.
II began one at breakfast one day,
and I'd get no farther than two SEN
fences before she'd interrupt to offer
me some cream, or particular pear,
or an especial kind Of pickle, or to
tell Caroline to bring some hot mur-
fins, or to inquire exactly how many
Jumps of sugar some one wanted in his
coffee
"At first 1 gave in meekly, but af-
ter while l got my spirit up, and de-
termined to tell one story or die. 1t
became a sort Of contest, and | kept
strict record of the game. l tried, in
those three weeks, to tell thirty seven
stories'
And how many times did you sue
ceed?" one of the listeners asked.
Not one, sir" the old judge storm
ed, mot single one! The lady was
too much for me-"
THAT was too bad, father" his
daughter comforted him. "Of course
she didn't realize"
Gertrude" her father replied, sol
EMMY, Its woman's duty to realize.

one of his own stories to a good din

said, while the tears welled up IN her
blue eyes as every moment brought her
nearer home.
"Good-by, my dear. You are travel
ing in the right direction when you are
going home to mother" were the old
lady's parting words as Elsie left the
car.
Depositing her bundles on a seat in
the little waiting room, she walked up
the road toward home with as little
conscious effort as if she wore winged
sandals.
Outside the familiar little white
house two small boys were playing.
They looked at her as they would
stranger, and she failed to recognize
them.
Surely she had not mistaken her IA
theirs house. No, this was the right
place, for out of a side door came
freckle-faced boy OF fifteen hearing
pan Of dirty water. In spite Of his
added inches she knew him.
"Oh, David, where's mother?" cried
! Elsie, approaching the astonished boy,
who almost dropped his pan Of water.
"Well, think it time you were CON-
| ing home. I've had enough of dish
washing" was his doubtful welcome.
"Who are those little boys in front
of the house?" she asked.
Cliff and Harvey. What's the mat
ter with you, Elsie?'
Elsie hung her head They were her
own brothers, and she had not known
them.
But where's mother?" she inquired
once more.
upstairs, sick abed. Say, Elsie,
have you come home to spy on US or
to help us out?"
I'm going to stay home and hep
MOTHER" answered Elsie, entering the
house.
''Hurrah for sister Elsier' came from
a pair of lusty lungs, as David emptied
| house.
Another brother faced her at the
stair door and impeded her progress.
This Is fine, Elsie. Mother has
just been fretting and wishing to hear
from you. This will do her more good
than medicine" said Ray Coen, a stur-
dy sixfooter.
whats the matter with mother,
Ray?" asked Elsie, anXlously.
"Overwork and worry, the doctor
said: 1t does seem good to see you
again." and the honest, kindly face Of
brother Ray glowed with delight.
Elsie's eyes overdowed as she flew
upstairs to mother. How glad they
were to see her, and how little she de-
served her welcome.
Her heart was too full to utter 4
word as she knelt beside her mother
and hid her face in the bedclothes
AS for her mother, she understood
mothers always do-and her own JOY
full surprise found vent in repeating
over and over again: ooh, Elsie!
Mothers only daughter! Mothers
dear, good girl"
And Elsie felt that no sacrifice would
be too great to atone for those years
| Of selfish neglect.
When the doctor came next day he
| told Elsie her mother would have no
| further need Of medicine, and as Elsie
looked at her dear, loving face, beam
ing with joy, she knew he had told
the truth.-Christian Standard.

Although Owning Property Man VIII

Although they own a farm in Clayton,
having paid $4,000 for it, Johann Puetz,
his wife and their four children, who
came in to New York on the Vaderland
from Antwerp, have been ordered de-
ported. A special board of inquiry at
Ellis Island has decided that one of the
children, Nicolaus, 10 years old, is not
mentally responsible. Through counsel
Puetz, who is % years old, has appealed

unlikely that if someone takes the boy
back to Germany the others of the fam
lily will be allowed to go west to their

Snuff In the Senate.

The return of Tom Carter to the

is expected to revive the snuff TAX
ing habit in that body. Owing to
the lack of users of the ground weed
among the present members of the

disuse. But the two tiny mahogany

are still i'll position and are always

ago there were a dozen snuff takers
in the senate. 1t was common

George of Mississippi. the late Sen
ator Beck Of kentucky and Others
walk down to Captain Bassett's
chair ana take a liberal pinch of the
powdered stuff from the latter's
gold and silver snutfbox. Nowadays
it is a rare thing to see senator
indulging in the luxury.
