prettiest and best kept in the cemetery.
One August morning Amanda got ND

won't have to sew today, and we will
go to our lot and dig up every wild
morning glory. Pretty things they are,
but they want too much room. and
they are crowding out our white ge-
raniums."
Bright and early Amanda and Tom
started for their lot, and while Tom
was perched on top Of the gatepost
busily washing himself Amanda was
on her knees digging up the offending
morning glories.
So busy was Amanda that she did
not hear the footsteps of a passerby
and was startled when pleasant voice
said: Good morning, ma'am. This is
q beautiful plot Of ground"
Amanda quickly rose to her feet
and, pushing back her sunbonnet, flush
ed girlishly under the gaze of strange
man.
Good morning, SIR" she answered
shyly. Yes, sir, think it is a pretty
place."
The stranger spoke Of the morning
sun shining on the dewy grass, of the
gentle slope He admired the flowers,
even mentioning the names of a few,
and then said inquiringly, "You have
no one buried here?"
mo" replied Amanda. ''My people
did not live here. am alone.''
This was the beginning Of their ac-
quaintance. They often met in this
little hillside lot. BE told her his name
was Robinson and that he was alone;
that none Of his people lived near.
After awhile, when their acquaint-
ance had ripened into friendship, he
met her one day and studied her in
tently.
Miss Saunders, pardon the ques-
ton,' he said, ''but I have long Won
dered why you bought this lot and why
you have spent so much time adjoining
it. VIII you tell me, pleaseT'
And in simple words she told him of
her longing for home and how for ten
years she had saved, hoping to buy the
little white cottage at the foot of the
lane, and Of how upon learning that
some one had bought it she had been
led by reading a verse in the Bible to
buy this place.
II knew I would have a home here
on earth even if didn't have it until
after I was dead, and thought may
be the Lord would let me come back
sometimes to see how sweetly and
quietly was resting, with the flowers
blooming and the birds singing about
me- she finished simply.
The man turned his head, for his
eyes were filed with tears. After a
brief silence he said: Il am all alone,
and you are alone. I have enough for
us both. Will you be my wife, my
homemaker?"
And when she had whispered eyes"
he said, II bought the little white cot
tage at the foot of the lane, and that
will be our home"
''Tom," Amanda said that night, 1--WE
will have it, the little white cottage,
and there will be room in the lot on
the hillside for us ALL
And Tom purred his contentment.

Amanda liked to sew for Mrs. Dea-
con Jones, for when Saturday night
came that good woman always filed a
basket with meat, vegetables, loaf Of
bread and sometimes a cake and sent
one of the boys to carry it to Amanda's
home.
Enough to last us whole week,
Tom, and we can add a little more to
our store,"' she would say to her pet
cat.
Amanda Saunders, this old maid
seamstress, who made enough with
her needle to clothe and feed herself
and to pay the rent of the one room
she called home, had an ambition,
though no one knew Of it except her
black cat Tom
Whenever she slipped dime into the
china teapot, an old family heirloom,
she would say: There, Tom; we would

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
First Move In This Direction Made IL
MedfOrd In 1901,

First Move In This Direction Made In
Medford In 1901.
The first recorded public meeting in
the interest of 'woman's rights" was
held in the town Of Medford in 17O1
The gallery of the church was occupied
by the young unmarried people of the
congregation, one side and one-haIf the
front gallery being given to the young
men, the other side and the other half
being given to the young women. But
in the seating in the eventful year the
young men were given the entire front
Of the gallery as WE'LL and the young
women were allowed only one side Of
the gallery.
Then it was that things began to hap
pen. Treatment like this wasn't to be
tolerated, even for moment. The
blood of the future mothers of the
Revolution was fully aroused, and the
young women made such an uproar
and commotion that it speedily became
town matter, and town meeting
was called to restore to them their
rights in half Of the front gallery
The young men Of the day were Bit
terly opposed to extending any new
privileges to women, and the fight ex-
tended beyond Medford. Shortly after
the Introduction of pews into the
churches, by which families were sep
arated from the remainder Of the con-
gregation, the selectmen Of the town of
Newbury gave permission to q group
Of young women to build a pew in the
gallery of the church upon their own
side of the house. This extension of
privilege was resented by the young
bachelors to such degree that they
broke window of the church, forced
an entrance and hacked the pew in
pieces. For this act of sacriIege the
young men of Newbury were fined $40
each and sentenced to be whipped or
pilloried. But they We're manly enough
to confess their folly and ask pardon,
so this part of their punishment was
omitted SO you see the "Woman's
rights movement isn't a modern one.

A lady recently called at the house
the ring at the door. With careworn

VENETIAN FOOTBALL.
How the Game Was Played In Ven.
ice Several Centuries Ago.

How the Game Was Played In Ven
Ice Several Centuries Ago.
A book published at Venice in 1866
by Antonio Scaino relates methods Of
play in real football that was actual
~ callef by the same name. The field
was so large that no one, however
strong, could quite throw stone from
one end to the other" and it was about
half as wide. Twenty, thirty or forty
persons could participate on side, the
number being regulated by the size of
the available field. Goals were set up
at either end. No one was permitted to
strike the ball with the outstretched
arm or with anything he might carry
In his hand. Nevertheless he was per-
mitted to ''strike the ball with what
ever part of his body that he pleased"
If the ball came rolling toward him
he was allowed to kick it, the infer
ence being that if it were lying still he
could not do so. The field was divided
by transverse line Unto two equal
parts, and in the middle lay the ball.
The players were chosen, those who
were going to make up the opposing
parties, by means of colors, by which,
in the struggle of the contest, each
could recognize his own side. When
the signal was given by the roll of the
drum or the blast Of a trumpet a play
er rushed forward, one who had been
chosen by lot to be the first to kick the
ball with his foot. This action was I'M
derstood to be the beginning Of the
contest, so that after it it was permit
ted to no one from either party to seize
it, to strike it and to drive it as victor
over the goal. 1t was perhaps from
the method of beginning the game that
it was called football"
These Italian games had their origin
in the ancient pastimes Of the Greeks
and Romans, and in reality approach
nearer to the modern idea Of football
than do the beginnings Of the game in
northern countries Football is believ-
ed by some authorities to have been a
portion of the worship Of the Celtic
sun god, one Of the rites attendant on
the celebrative ceremonies. Some also
hold strong belief that it's original
form was introduced into England by
the Romans.-Dennie P Meyers in
Outing Magazine.

mo, Mrs. Jones; I'll go right home
Maybe I'll feel better after 1 rest
Mrs. Jones filled the basket, and Jim
carried it home for Amanda. Upon his
return he reported that Miss Mandy
must be sick. for she didn't say one
word, not even ''thanky," and she look
ed as If she were going to cry.
When the little room was reached
and the door closed behind Jim Jones,
Amanda dropped Imply into her one
rocking chair.
1--WE can't have it now" she moaned.
"Oh, my, oh, my!" And when Tom
came rubbing and purring in the en-
deavor to attract her attention she
clasped him in her arms and said, ''Oh,
Tom, some one else has it, and there's
not another one like it in the village"
Tom shifted at the basket and asked
for his supper. Amanda performed her
evening duties mechanically, and when
Tom had been fed and everything was
snug for the night she took down the
teapot and counted the savings Of ten
years. ...
Fifty dollars! What shall do with
all that money now?' she asked mourn
fully. Then she put it away, and, TAX
ing down her Bible, she slowly turned
the pages, thinking Of her sorrow.
As she glanced at the page her atten-
ton was arrested by these words: "Be-
cause man goeth to his long home and
the mourners go about the streets"
Slowly she repeated them, because
man goeth to his long home" A look
Of joy came into her eyes, and she ex-
claimed, Eyes, that is what I'll do!'
The following week the villagers
were telling one another the exciting
news that Mandy Saunders had bought
lot in the cemetery!
"One Of the best, and she paid $50 for
it right out Of hand,' said one.
where did she get all that money ?':
asked another
"DOn't know. She's awfully close
mouthed. She just. handed over the
whole sum, and it was all nickels and
dimes except one silver dollar
Amanda said nothing about her pur-
chase, but went to work to beautify
her lot. She cut the grass with little
grass hook and planted flowers and
vines. She had fence built around it.

A Happy Suggestion.

An amusing incident occurred in an
English rural church a short time ago.
The minister gave out the hymn, 81
Love to Steal Away" etc. The regu-
lar precentor being absent, the duty
devolved upon a good old deacon, who
commenced Il love to steal' and then
broke down. Raising his voice little
higher, he then sang, 81 love to steal"
At length, after desperate cough, he
made a final demonstra ton and roared
out, II love to stealw The effort was
too much. Every one but the parson
was laughing. He rose and with the
utmost GOODNESS said:
