but separate gifts, and they disagreed
in class meeting upon matters Of doc
trine. The pastor "Iabored' with them
because Of their example to younger
married couples.
This enraged John, who told him that
Ineither of them would come to church
Iagain and asked for their letters.
when, however, the pastor was gone
he turned fercely On his wife. He
said it was her behavior that had
brought notice upon them, and she said
that if he was ugly at home she, for
her part, was not hypocrite and
fwOuld not pretend abroad that all was
fright between them.
Then each threatened to leave the
iOther, and finally they talked Of divid-
ing the property. At this they quar-
reled more fiercely than ever, not from
eeifishness, for each wanted the other
TO have the larger share. On this John
Bowen insisted until some devil
prompted Mary to say his generosity
was only for the purpose Of putting
her in the wrong by making her seem
imercenary. Then they saw a lawyer,
a kindly man, who failed to reconcile
their differences, and from trying to
divide the property each got more and
more angry until finally Mary had the
papers drawn up for a divorce, and
John filed a cross claim. Neither would
have the papers served just then.
There were things to be attended to-,
and then the children must be told.
Somehow neither one OF them could
bear to tell the children, and more
than once they were on the verge Of
making up. So it happened that it
nothing was done about it. However,
the pastor finally wrote to their daugh~
ter Mary, asking her il she could not
recOncile her parents to each other,
and she wrote to her brothers and Sis
tiers. The three of them who could met
eA.I talked it over and concluded to
auopt a plan evolved by Mary, who
probablv understood the root Of the
trouble better than the others
This daughter, her mothers name
sake, had three fine children. Paul had
four, and Elizabeth had two, one too
small to leave its mother
At the little home OF the old people
all was gloom. The old man was sort
irg and destroying old papers, and his
wife was mending and arranging and
cleaning her already clean house. She
was bound to leave her husband COM
Portable and was convinced that no
one would properly look after his fan
sels and his rheumatism when she had
gone to her daughters. This she had
fully purposed to do, for she would not
put him out of his own house. He was
equally obstinate about leaving it to
fher. E

Man and Art.

In ancient times there stood In the
citadel Of Athens three statues of Min
erva. The first was of olive wood and,
according to popular tradition, had
fallen from heaven. The second was
of bronze, commemorating the victory
Of Marathon, and the third of gold and
fvory-a great miracle OF art in the
days of Pericles. And thus in the
citadel Of time stands man himself.
In childhood, shaped of soft and deli
cate wood, just fallen from heaven:
In manhood q statue OF bronze, COM
memorating struggle and victory, and
lastly, in the maturity Of age, perfectly
shaped in gold and ivory-a miracle OF
art!

Tried to Bride Santa.

The appearance of the Salvation
Army Santa Clauses on the streets of
New York are the occasions of many a
curious little scene when the children
espy them. In Twenty-third street a
little girl suddenly rushed up to the
patron saint of toys and children and.
thrusting into his hand quarter, cried
out, Here, Santa Claus, take this j.;
don't want you to forget me-" and
was back to the side Of her mother
again in an instant The little lass had
tried to bride the saint!

Artificial Snow.

White cotton slightly smeared with
mucilage and sprinkled with common
salt or diamond dust will make the
best wintry effect. For store window
or table decoration mirrors make good
water imitation with small sized ducks

fallen snow can be produced by taking
the branches and dipping in gum ara
bicwater and then sprinkling with flour.

COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
KoINER left Richmond yesterday for
New York, whence he sails for Plymouth,
Eogland, to enter upon the work of pro-
curing farm labor for the State Of Vlr-
ginia. He will be gone several months.
He will not only get recruits in Great
Britain, but in Germany, Denmark aud
and Scandinavia. Ia addition to ming
ling with agricultural laborers and seek
ing to induce them to cast their fortunes
with the Old Dominion. he intends to
advertise the State in every way possible
that home seekers may be persuaded 10
settle in Virginia. Great care will and
should be exercised by the commissioner
as to the class of people he gets, as no
immigration is better for Virginia than
the vicious element that now seems to be
seeking q home in America. Before
leaving for New York Mr. Koiner said
that within the last few months nine
farms 10 the James River Valley have
been sold to people coming to the Old
Dominion from other states, and aggrC-
gate sum brought by the property reaches
800, 500 The highest figure was $S4, =
600, ana the lowest S., 600.
