PRONE UPON THE KITCHEN TABLE. purely fine, the hard lines relaxed and melted; the curving lashes, long and ! silken fine, sGftened the hard curve of the faded cheek; the pinched look left the proud, patient lips, and. sleeping, Margaret regained some of her lost loveliness. Margaret slept, and, sleeping, dreamed.
 God is merciful to us. He gives us dreams.
 On her shrouded sense there stole the sound of soft, whispering; chili- ish whispering, sibilant, loud in it's very effort at softness little feet tripped lightly about her; a. breath like budding violets, so pure. so sweet, touched her lips; a touch like velvet, soft, silken soft, came upon her cheek, and, waking. she saw upon the little hearth leaping blaze; the kettle, big, black and heavy, had been (she knew) with great, laborious tugging and lift ing of baby hands, set upon the bars of the grate. On the table near her were the clean and poor tea service; the small pitcher filled with milk, the bowl of sugar replenished, all the service for the evening meal the little baby hands had arranged; and close beside her, one on each side, the little girls, one 50 raven of lock, so brilliant of flashing eye and blossom cheek; the other soft of brow and eyes, dainty and dimpled. leaned against her.

 And, after all."-the mother almost voiced her thought aloud.-"after a what else matters when love endures?"
 With smiling lips and lifted brow the mother took in her hardened hands the big, yellow bowl wherein. with flour, yeast and love. she would set forth a feast for her beloved ones-N O. Times Democrat.

 Lying with her head pillowed on his arm, Margaret's breathing grew quiet, the sobs infrequent, and she slept.

Mayor Elton proved himself "wise old owl'' and got in out of the wet. He felt pretty certain the tables would be turned this time and that the demo- crats would come marching in agaiu. It is a long time since the city has gone republican two times in success sion. The mayors friends tell us he refused the mayoralty nomination be- cause he had no time for public office. The fact that he took a place on the ticket at all proves that this was not so, He will be an alderman for the next two years, and if he gives the place the attention it calls for he will be kept pretty busy. The fact of the matter is, the mayor saw the hand writing on the wall, and he and others thought R. N. Blakeslee would make pretty good republican offering for the slaughter.

DEFEND ON YOURSELF.

Many Q man has. tried to Justify his failure on the ground that he was doomed by the cards which fate dealt him, that he must pick them up and play the game, and that no effort, however great, on his part, could ma terially Change the result. But, my young friend, the fate that deals your cards is in the main your own resO- lution. The result of the game does not rest with fate or destiny, but with you. You will take the trick if you have the superior energy, ability and determination requisite to take it. You have the power within yourself to change the value of the cards which, you say, fate has dealt you. The game depends upon your training, upon the way you are disciplined to seize and use your opportunities and upon your abihtyrto put grit in the place of ,sH- perior advantages -.-.,.-- .,,;,
 Just because circumstances do sometimes give clients to lawyers and patients to physicians, put com monplace clergymen in uncommon pulpits, and place the sons of the rich at the head of great corporations even when they have only average ability and scarcely any experience, while poor youths with greater abil- ity and more experience, often have to fight their way for years to ob- tain ordinary situations, are you just flied in starting out without chart or in leaving a place for luck in your program? What would you think of the captain of great liner who would start out to sea without any port in view, and trust to luck to land his precious cargo safely?
 Did you ever know of strong young man making out his life pro- gram and depending upon chance to carry out any part of 1t? Men who depend upon luck do not think It worth while to make thorough pre- paration for success. They are not willing to pay the regular price for 1t. They are looking for bargains. They are hunting for short cuts to success.
 Power gravitates to the man who knows how, Luck is the tide, noth- ing more. The strong man rows with it if it makes toward his port; he rows agoinst it if it flows the other way.-Orison Sweet Warden in Success.
