looked ike a ehangeling among her
nigh eolored brunette sisters, was in
robin egg with little reliefs of white.
Miss Mary-Bet herself was a picture
of elegance in span new black silk.
Mrs. March declared 1t was tempting
providence to wear such q thing where
tnolasses candy was so 10 abound, but
Miss Mary-Bet had only tossed her
head and marched off with it some
thing higher than usual
She was rising forty, also fat and
fair. Her sharp tongue and masterful
ways had kept men rather n awe OF
her. Now that youth was past she
began 70 see that the world wagged
mainly for married folk, so she had
made up her mind to marry OF her
nieces out of hand Ia spite OF their
pother.
Louiza was not much of q problem.
She was so kindly and sweet spirited,
withal so much a born economist, at
least three personable widowers were
thought to be on tenterhaaks about
her, each waiting the lucky chance
that would let him speak his wish. All
of them would be at the candy pull,
and each should have his chance.
miss Mary-Bet had cautioned Lou
liza not TO be precipitate. Don't let
any man have it to throw up to you
that you couldn't get anybody else,"
she had said. You Jest listen to all of
'em and say you gotter have time to
make up your mind. Then you can
take your pick. Shucks, don't tell me
you won't get It! You'd "a been mar
ried long ago IL your mad had the
sense of a goose She's kept you tied
right to her apron string and never let
anybody name courtin' that she wasn't
right there to stop the whole thing"
Mary-Bet junior was n handful even
without the red frock. Her godmother
was none too fond of her-they were
too nearly Off the same pieca. The
most eligible OF the widowers had
shown symptoms of wavering when
ever he found himself in Mary-Bet
juniors vicinage-he was under thirty.
If Louiza had the bad taste 30 pre-
for one Of the others, Miss Mary-Bet
reflected, the wandering ana waver-
ing might he turDed 10 account. Henry
May could hardly be called real
widower II he had but married bic
sweetheart ON her deathEed for the
privilege Of Soothing her last feyared
hours. That was five years back, SO
he had been wonderfully constant. 1t
was only this last year that he hRa
been seen anywhere but at church.
Sally's blue eyes were still those OF
child-at least to the casual glance.
Looking to their depths, there was
something more. Sally had light,
small feet and moved like thistledown
In summer airs, When the playing
began she was the star. She had not
shone in the candy pulling; 1t was
hard work. and, besides, she hated
her pulling partner, Sandy Roberts,
1t mada her almost sick TO touch hands
with him in the folding of their candy
skein. After the first time she had let
go the candy, thereby giving Sandy
fall or so. He meant to get even with
her in the playing by choosing her out
of the very first ring and kissing her
not once, but many times.
Possibly Sally suspected as much.
Certainly sue fought shy OF any ring
where be stood up. Since he was q

Il have my opinion" Mrs. March
said impressively, "of folks that don't
know no more'n to give a candy pull.

limp. That's likely to be always,

sister-in-law, Miss Mary-Bet, shifted.
Patience knows, if l had n girl like
Louiza, comm on twenty-one and four
more a-crowdin' her, I'd be glad and
thankful of any chance to show her off.
And I'd like to have you tell me what
there is against candy pull? Dear
knows, I've seen better'n you at 'em
and havin' a mighty good time"
Miss Mary-Bet had means" hence
her outspeaking. Squire March had
charged his wife never to argue with
her. Therefore that lady contented
herself with mild retort
Il can't say as it's real sinful, un-
less they mean TO have playin' after
ward And 1 hope you don't think
hold with them kissin' games"
Il don't know but you'd better"
Miss Mary-Bet said ruminatively. Il
say let Louiza go, and Mary-Bet and
Sally too"
My! That would be team Of
Marches" Mrs. March said, drawing
down the corners of her mouth.
Miss Mary-Bet got up decisively.
There's goin' to be four Marches"
she announced. I'm goin' myself. I
know the Peterses would "a asked me
if they hadn't thought it wasn't wuth
while. And I'm goin' to take my nieces
and buy 'em n new frock and rib
bons and shoes. Don't you say
word, Hannah! One old maid in the
family Is more'n enough"
Mrs. March gasped; she was past
speech. Miss Mary-Bet was commonly
so close with her money her present
liberal mind was in the nature of a
miracle. But if she repented it she
held fast to her word and trotted off q
week later to the Peterses in the high
est possible feather.
Louiza was gorgeous in plaid frock
green, blue and purple; Mary
junior sported scarlet delaine, and
little Sally, yellow haired fairy who

GERMAN GLEE CLUBS.
Early Days of the saenserfests I'm
This Country.

Early Days of the Saenserfests In
This Country,
In the early days Of saengerfests in
this country they were held annually.
The third saengerfest was held In New
York In 1852, and many Newark Ger
mans attended. Below are given ex-
tracts from the Newark Daily Adyer~
tiser printed Mt the time;
June TO- 1852, - The German glee
clubs Of New York will celebrate the
third annual festival in New York
this year on tho 10th to 22d of June.
The New York Journal Of Commerce
states that the giee clubs from abroad
will be received by the New York
clubs and honored with torchlight
procession. The principal performance
will take place at the Academy of
Music, Fourteenth street, when the
choruses will be sung by over 1,200
male voices, accompanied by an or
chestra of 100 pieces On the 22d will
be held u picnic on the Bloomingdale
road opposite Strikers bay.
June 22.-Third musical jubilee Of
German singers, Saturday to Tuesday.
10th to 22d. The execution of the
Magic Flute" overture by 1,20o voices
was very uncommon and surprising by
the New York clubs and was received
with great applause. The Eintrachts
ef Newark sang "Wallislscheg Schlf-
fergesang" in distinguished manner.
But the most marraaed performance was
Martin nuther's Elm Feste Burg Ist
Unser Gott," arranged by Finke. We
felt Immediately what religious music
really is-how grand, solemn and sub
lime such hymn Is when performed
by n large orchestra and hundreds Of
voices. 1t was something to be re-
membered long. Kossuth was present
during an intermission and was cheer

There is no such thing rs gratitude
upon this EARTH" replied the serpent,
"and IL l were now to spare thee
either thou or another OF thy race
would kill me. BY Allah, / shall bite

IF thou hast sworn by Allah, IwiN
not cause thee to break thy VOW" said
the prophet. holding his hand TO the
serpent's mouth. The serpent bit him,
but he sucked the wound with hisslips
and spat the venom on the ground.
And on that very spot there sprang
up n plant which combines within.it-
self the venom of the serpent and the
compassion of the prophet. Men call
this plant by the name Of tobacco

What Us m Abrashf

This question is answered in a most
Interesting manner by George Leland
Hunter in an article entitled "The
Truth About 'Doctored' Rugs" in Coun-
try Life In America. He writes:
"Abrash is a most interesting word.
In Persia if father, son and grand
son have Roman noses, then a Roman
nose Is the abrash of that family. II
gluttony is characteristic Of genera
ton after generation, then is gluttony
the hereditary abrash. II 1t is
Itrawberry mark on the left shoulder,
then tho strawberry mark is an abrash.
The abrashes Of rug are the stripes
or bands that run parallel or entirely
across the pile. When seen for the
first time by Americans accustomed to
admire and insist on the deathlike uni
formity that characterizes machine
products abrashes are apt to impress
them as defects, particularly if wide.

IN SUMNER IN ITALY.
The Natives Know How to Keep Cool
In Scorchfng Weather.

The Natives Know How to Keep Cool
In Scorching Weather.
1t is summer in Italy; the hot, white
roads radiate heat as do the blank
faces Of the houses. There Is not
soul stirring at this hour except
party OF sightseeing Americans; they
are evidently mad, for they do not keep
in the shade, which, from the italian
point Of view, is far more lacking in
intelligence than not knowing enough
to go in when 1t rains"
1t is interesting to note that while
tho summer beats down pitilessly until
Italy is seethed In white heat the
death rate from heat prostration is far
less IN proportion than with us In our
more temperate climate, and for the
reason that the Italians walk religious
ly on the shady side of the street, IL
anything takes them abroad before the
cool of the day; and that every man,
woman and child for whom 1t is.pos-l
sible spends the middle Of the day in
cool costume indoors.
Fortunately it is possible for the ma
jority, for during the hot weather many
factories give two or three hours for
the incoming, and that is why our town
presents the appearance Of deserted
village.
In the latter part Of the afternoon
the evening breeze springs up andithe
town awakes and resumes the work
which was begun in the early morning.
If you happen TO dine In the garden OF
the little Hotel Italia and stroll around
the garden after dinner, you may, by
following up one of the gravel walks,
come upon sort of out Of doors room
screened off from the garden by close
growing evergreens and shaded by tall
trees.
An acetyiehe gas jet sheds strong
ligbton a table and there, out Of doors
in the cool of the evening breeze, a
woman is ironing. The irons are
heated by two tiny charcoal fires made
in earthen brazters, which resemble
large square fiowerpots. Annunciata
does not need range standing six feet
in its stockings to heat her four irons.
1t is doubtful If she has ever seen
such n range in her life, for, though
she is the cook of the hotel, to which
is attached restaurant, and many
people take their meals there daily, she
uses less fuel In her cooking arrange
ments than the average American fam
lily would use to cook its simple meals.
In the cool of the morning she folded
and sprlnkled her clothes, did the
morning work early and then rested.
Now she sings as she works in the
fresh evening air. Although people
are dining at the stone tables In the
garden, she is as remote from them as
If she were working In hot kitchen.
There rs lesson to be drawn from
these two pictures. and that is that we
Americans are often sacrificed at the
altar Of our own prosperity, and go
through life wearily carrying on our
backs a load of modern improvements.

MURDERERs BROUGHT HERE.

Sanchez Valdez and Charles Mar

murder of Juan Truille, another
Mexican, who was killed in a most
horrible manner at Montrose last
Tuesday night, were brought to
Grand Junction Saturday night by
Sheriff Truesdale. of Montrose county
and placed in the Mesa County jail,
to remain until the men are to be ar
raigned for trial.
The body of Truille. who 1t is said
was an inoffensive. peaceful Mexican
was found Wednesday morning in
street in the suburbs of Montrose
The skull had been fractured in sew
eral places by an ugly piece of iron
buggy axle found near the body.
Valdez. who had attempted tc
quarrel with Truille the day before
and Martinez. who acted suspicious
ly and on whose shoes and clothes
were found blood. were arrested. Maj
tinez stated that he was present wher
Truille was killed but that Valdez
killed him. Valdez claims that he is
innocent and was not present wher
the murder was enacted. However
both men were held on the charg,
of murder and it is believed they ar,
guilty. The crime was one of th,
worst that ever occurred in Montros,

THE INNEs INQUEST.

Late Saturday afternoon Coroner
Hanson held an inquest over the re-
mains of Edward Innes, the murder
ed jailer. The only testimony taken
was that of Van Horn. the young pris-
oner who was in the corridor when
McGarvey made the assault and that
of two of the sheriff's officers.
The jury was not long in returneg
verdict to the effect that Jailer In
nes had met death at the hands OF
George McGarvey. and that it was a
case of felonious killing.
The coroner then issued a warrant
embodying the charge of murder
which was placed in the hands OF
Sheriff Struthers.
