mind. His was q home where the
habit prevailed of talking things
over" and anything pertaining to his
daughter was of paramount interest
He knew all about that tailored gown
from the moment Of its beginning
They were a small family. Himself
his wife and their daughter made up
its members, and they were near to
one another in thought and action.
There were pleased expectation on
John Graham's face when he went TO
the window. He knew, before he saw,
just how pretty his daughter was, and
how tall and slender and graceful her
figure. When he reached the window
she was standing on the veranda,
poised at the edge of the steps, smil-
ing down at young man coming to-
ward her up the walk leading from the
street. The welcoming smile that
curved her lips was repeated in her
eyes. Her back was turned toward her
father so he could not see her face, but
the young mans answering smile as
he approached her, hat in hand, and
his look Of intense admiration, told the
observing parent what must be his
daughters expression. There was
something in the young mans manner
that irritated John Graham and
prompted him to utter Indignantly:
''He acts like he owned her."
He watched the girl descending the
steps and he watched her hand get lost
In the young mans clasp. He frown-
ed furiously at the sight, and he
frowned still more furiousy when he
saw them walking away together,
well-dressed, we'll set-up young couple
with the love light in their eyes and
the buoyancY of youth squirting their
steps to elasticity. He did not know
exactl- why, but he felt in a bad tenn
per and gave vent to his feelings with
muttered I'D like to kick him.
When they had passed out of his
vision he turned from the window. He
went to the door Of the room and call
ed to his wife.
Annie" he said, "are you coming
down soon?'
'I'll be with you In just moment"
she answered.
She came to him shortly, dressed for
church. Her husband looked at her
with approval.
That's neat hat you're wearing"
he said. "You and the chlldie do me
honor with your Easter fxings. You
almost tempt me to go to church N.Y.

A CHILD No LONGER
oG~

NO HE sound Of his daughters joy
Gus young voice in the hall, and
the closing Of the front door,
brought John Graham out Of his easy
chair and drew him to the window to
see the pride Of his heart depart on
her way to church in all the brave ar
ray OF her Easter finery. The crisp
rustic of silk recalled to his memory
that this was the day her new tailored
gown was 1, receive It's first wearing,
and, though he had attended the dress
rehearsal at the time the gown was
sent home and put on especially for
his viewing, now that it was actually
in service, he was interested in seeing
It again that he might get the full
effect He let the section he was read

paper slip from his hand to the floor
where 1t helped the disorder Of the
other printed sheets, scattered careless
ly over the carpet. The room was
small, and, as he could not avoid tread

them gingerly so as not to injure his
Sunday reading.

the young man cOldly, but, cautioned
by his wife's glance, he tried to throw
his wonted cordially into his man
ner. He was not entirely successful.
His daughter, quick to feel the diff
ference, regarded him anxiously. Her
enthusiasm over the beauty of the
Easter services and the music was
dampened. She went to her father and
slipped her hand into his, giving it a
pressure that was an appeal.
The young mans eyes followed her
fondly. He fingered for a few mo-
merits, talking about nothing in par
ticular, and always with his eyes on
Mabel. He was about to take a re-
luctant leave when the girls mother,
understanding her daughters wish,
asked him: won't you take dinner
with us?'
He hesitated and glanced toward
John Graham. Mabel pressed her
fathers hand. Reading her thought,
in compliance with her mute request,
he seconded his wife's invitation with
a curt ''Yes, stay if you like"
He turned away from the group and
went into the room he called his den.
Someway he felt lonely and forsaken.
Unconsciously he was jealous of the
new element which had come into his
daughters life.
He sat in his chair holding the paper
before his face as though engrossed in
its columns, but his mind was far from
the printed sheet. Suddenly he felt
Mabel's arms about his neck and her
kiss on his brow.
THANK you, father" she whispered.
N"Does it mean so much to you,
childie?" he asked.
She nodded in answer, her eyes tell.
Ing the things she could not say.
John Graham left his chair and went
to the window, through which he look.
ed with unseeing eyes. His daughter
was beside him, her hand slipped into
his, her cheek against his shoulder
Harry" this was the young mans
name, II think Harry wants to speak
to you about something" she murmur-
ed, timidly.
Her face was hidden against his
arm. He looked down at her bright
hair, rebellious that another should
dare lay claim to his treasure. Out
side in the hall he heard the young
mans voice rising and falling in gay
infection as he talked to Mabers
mother. And he heard his wife's laugh
ringing out in appreciation of the story
he was telling. There seemed no trou-
BILE behind that carefree laugh. Per-
haps he was taking the affair too Sc
riously. He listened again.
Just as came up behind him,
heard the boy shout to the little chap
in front: Look at Lewis in long
pants. Wouldn't that kill your" the
young man related, his voice uneven
with laughter as he reached the eli
max Of his tale.
John Graham's sense Of humor was
never long dormant. 1t returned to
him now. There was comedy with
out while he was counting tragedy.
He turned into changed mood. He
slipped finger under his daughters
chin, and raising her face, gone scar
let with bushes, looked down at her
with eyes in which mischief was lurk-
ing.
why not let Harry speak for him
self, dear?" he said.-Elizabeth Ayres

NEW REFRIGERATOR CAR GER.
VICE.
Rock Island Operates Cold Storage Cara
on Established Schedules.


on Established Schedules.
Topeka.-The Rock Island has added
1900 new refrigerator cars to those
already in service, and has established
a regular schedule Of runs, giving ex-
cellent service from the most remote
portions Of it's lines to all markets.
The most essential point which is of
interest to the small shippers of perish
able freight at way stations along the
road, is contained in the two rules pro-
mulgated by this company which fol-
low:
Freight charges on perishabls
freight shipped in scheduled refrigera-
tor cars will be the same as in ordi-
nary cars"
"All refrigerator cars are we'll iced
before starting and are re-iced in tran
sit when necessary"
The latter rule indicates that the
small shipper may send his perishable
produce to market in refrigerator car
at the regular rates which apply in an
ordinary car and no charges are made
to him for "icing" the car. The rail-
road provides this service free Of cost
to the shipper.
The company also undertakes to fur
nish a special refrigerator car without
extra charge for consignments Of 10000
pounds or over where no scheduled car
is run.
Shippers may secure refrigerator
cars from the company for carload
shipments free; the shipment will be
consigned at regular carload rates the
S9mo qs If thQ CONSIGNMENT waSNSonf !
in an ordinary car. When shippers use
car for carload shipments the rate
Is lower than that charged for less
than carload lots. Consequently icing
charges are assessed the shipper when
he uses a whole ear. However, only
the actual cost Of ice and the work Of
placing it in the car is charged. The
shipper has the privilege of icing the
car himself, In which case the railroad
makes no icing charge.

Several factors are combining In the
cause of good roads for the rural
districts, says the Chicago Chronicle
editorially.
One Of these factors Is the rural
free mail delivery service. Another
Is the activity Of merchants in the
country towns, who encourage the
good roads movement for obvious rea-
sons Still another Is the comparative
cheapness Of road building by i'm
proved methods and with cheap ma
terials. Taken together, all these
forces are giving an impetus to the
propaganda for frst-class country
highways.
Rural free mail delivery Is no longer
an experiment. The farmers, at Inst
Indifferent when they were not actu-
ally hostile, are now accustomed to
having their mail brought to them,
and they would not know how to do
without the mail carrier. The demand
for the rural service Is increasing.
There are now pending in the post Of
flee 4,7O8 petitions for new routes, and
the routes are being ordered into effect
at the average rate Of 600 per month.
These rural mail routes mean bet
ter roads, because the post Office de-
partment will not maintain them I'M
less the highways are kept in fairly
good condition. Uncle Sam agrees to
deliver the mail to the farmer If the
farmer will keep the road so that the
carrier can get over 1t with reason
able speed. If the farmer neglects
the road the carrier Is withdrawn.
This inspires the agricultural popula-
ton to keep the roads in good order.
The rural merchants help the good
roads movement because they realize
People will not come In to buy goods
If they have to drive through mud
axle deep. Consequently the store
keepers favor road improvement. In
some sNisso ri towns the merchants
are offering prizes to the farmers who
keep their roads in the best condition.
They thus create an interest in the
matter and draw trade from neighbor
ing towns where the highways are in
an inferior condition.
The third factor in the good roads
movement Is the relative cheapness Of
roadbuilding nowadays. Many Of the
railroad companies send out 'good
roads specials" which stop at various
points along the line and give demon
STATIONS Of the best way to make
country roads. Some roads make
reduced rate on road material or carry
it free.
The railroad is interested in the
good roads movement because the
country highway Is the steam roads
feeder in the freight business. Thus
with expert instruction and cheap ma
terial the expense Of constructing good
highways is no longer the drawback
that 1t used to be. The farmer Is be-
ginning to see that 1t is a good in
vestment to put money into roads that
are practicable in all weathers.
No doubt it will be good while be-
fore all our country highways are put
into ideal condition, but the work Is
going on faster than ever before. 1t
Is only a question Of time when it will
be in progress over all the country.
Good roads constitute one Of the sur
est signs Of prosperity and enlighten-
ment in the rural community.

PRACTICES SURGERY AT 90.
Straight as a Young Sap1ing Is Aged
Elk Governor of Maine.

Straight as a Young Sapling Is Aged
Ex-Governor of Maine.
Ninety-two years young, together
with being still accounted as the most
experienced and among the highly
skillful surgeons of the old Pine Tree
State, DR.. Alonzc Garcelon, ex-Gov
ernor a former State Representative,
Senator, and since the time of the birth
of the Democratic party in the nation
and his State one it's most pronounced
adherents, is accounted to be the
grand old man" Of the State of Maine.
On his 92d birthday, celebrated on
May 6, says the Boston Post, the ex-
governor, who is still practicing among
his old patients Of Lewiston and Au-
burn, did not dream that it was Of
enough Importance to allow his fellow
citizens to make any note of it.
Straight and supple as young sap
ling Of his native State, this remark
able and age-venerable former govern
or of times when the creed Of democ-
racy was not the most popular in the
State, goes about the twin cities Of
Lewiston and Auburn, showing an &C
tivity and youthfulness Of spirit that
would generally be considered wonder
full in a man Of good health, fully
twenty years his junior.
Attired in greatcoat Of the old
fashioned cut and style, smooth shay

lars Of our grandfather the ex-gov

centenarian age, is to be seen winter

used by the hero of Oliver Wendell
Holmes "The One-HOrse Shay"
Cutting the corners Of the city
streets with his Morgan mare, Kitty,
who speeds over the Lewiston roads
and pavements like 2-year-old, the
sight Of the old gentleman sitting well
forward in the wonderful old chaise, as
he guides the blooded animal, is one
Of the strangest that visitors to the
city can view.
Strange, because Of the very fact
that without the slightest apparent
fear of danger to himself or to the
fabric and shaky build Of the ancient
chaise, the nonagenearian governor
guides the sprightly and mettlesome
Kitty with such an unerring hand.
AS traveller the ex-governor is said
to have covered more routes of globe
travelling than almost any other man
in the State Of Maine and even to-day
would take the chance Of travelling to
the other end Of the country If an old
and dear friend or patient should call
for his services.
An illustration Of this occurred only
few weeks ago, when a former pa
tient of his sent him a summons from
Troy, N. Y, asking that he come for
a consultation in relation to the ampu-
tation of leg. Speaking Of this jour-
ney the governor said:
HE was an old friend and although
most men thought I was foolish to so
such a distance, why wouldn't 1, when
it was thought to be case Of need?
I felt that was needed, If only to
comfort my friend, and went"

Corn Bread Far the Best.

"It is great pity" said Judge
Hutchings, Of Muskogee, I. T., "that
the great mass Of American people fail
to appreciate the marvellous nutritive
value Of corn bread which Is the sure
enough staff Of life and which is far
and away superior to the bread that
Is made Of wheat or any other kind
Of grain. / am saying this not from
an academic viewpoint, but from per-
sonal knowledge, based on years Of OBJ
servahon and experience.
"Any old hunter will tell you that
corn bread fed to his foXhounds will
enable them to pursue the game longer
and farther than any other food, and
1t Is the universal rule of owners Of
packs to give their dogs all the corn
bread they can eat before starting on
the chase instead Of meat or wheat
bread. The tremendously long jour-
neys that our North American Indians
have been known to make afoot could
never have been accomplished on any
other kind Of rations.
"The man who eats corn bread regu-
larly may not know 1t, but he IS fol-
lowing a dietary system that is ideal.
Corn bread gives strength to the sys-
tenn, promotes good digestion and is
an invaluable ally to nature. It Is bet
ter far than the rice that the little
Japs depend on for sustenance and yet
in the land that is the home Of corn
the people ignore It's virtues. Wash

HARVEST SONG.
Summer all is a pleasure past,

Summer all Is pleasure past,
Summer charm is q tale that's told;
Days Of reaping have come at last,
Days Of ripeness and days Of gold;
Down the meadow-way, glad and strong,
Love comes singing his harvest song.
Love is brown with the harvest TOLL
Brown and brawny Of limb is he,
Master strong in the garden moil,
Lord Of pasture and plant and tree,
Treasure burdened, he plods along,
Singing brightly his harvest song.
And in answer the autumn breeze
Sings pleasant and fair refrain
Through the boughs of the orchard trees
Ger the fields Of the waving grain.
Hark, the echoes about him throng-
Natures singing her harvest song.
