Getting Ready
......ss...s.s..E...l..a..s.a..a.....s....s..s.s

Jennie always spoke so casually
about the collection toward her house
keeping outfit that every one accepted
1t as a matter Of course.
1t was when she was only 16 that
Jennie's mother, finishing hemming the
last of dozen new napkins, remarked F.:
There! Those are ready to go into
the chest" Questioning brought to
light the further information that the
chest was to be filed with things for
Jennie.
''Of course she'll get married some
day." said her mother, "and it's lots
handler to be making things along In
stead Of rushing at the last minute.
I'm doing table linen now"
By the time Mrs. Markham had fin
ished the set of kitchen towels and had
begun on china every one took it with
out comment. When Jennie was IS the
chest was full and big dry goods box
was called into requisition to hold
things Not that Mrs. Markham was
anxious for her daughter to marry and
leave her. On the contrary, she often
dropped a tear on a completed dolly or
bureau scarf as she laid it with the rest
Of the collection. Adding things to
Jennie's store grew to be a habit.
Christmas gifts of an attractive nature
were ruthlessly sacrificed to the box.
''Thatll be nice when you have
house of your own" was the requiem
Jennie heard sung over numberless
things snatched from her before she
had a chance to use them at the mo-
ment.
All her friends knew about her col
lection and by the time Jennie left
school the older women had begun to
say 1t was lucky that Mrs. Markham
had been so far-sighted, for In case
anything did come of Ross Whipple's
devotion to Jennie all her trousseau ex-
cept mere clothes would be prepared.
Ross Whipple certainly had a bad
case Of young love. He haunted Jen-
ME. All the other girls and boys of
their age spoke of them as engaged.
Their parents said they were too young,
but Ross told his chums with glowering
brow that he could wait years If he had
to, while Jennie rehearsed to her en-
vious intlmates the contents of the
chest. 1t was practically settled that
Jennie's store of linen and china and
knickknacks would come in very handy
tolerably soon.
Then Ross went away to college and
IN six months his affair with Jennie
was broken of. He had fallen In love
with college-town girl.
Jennie bore up well. Perhaps the
fact that young Lalderback was calling
frequently assisted her to a satisfae-
tory state Of mind Young Lauderback
had a high brow and Jennie began to
read thick books Also she took To
signing her name "Jana." She said II
was more digniied.

There is a brook that flows between
Two messy trees where we can meet;
Where we can meet and speak unseen.

The heart is high when love is sweet
The clover smells of sun and rain,
And spreads carpet for our feet
Where we can sit and dream again.
Come to the woods; the dusk is here
The heart is high when love is sweet
A bird upon the branches near
Sets music to our hearts glad beat
Our hearts that beat with something dear.

The heart is high when love is sweet
The little stars come bright and fast,
Like happy eyes to see us greet;
To see us greet and kiss at last.

Lot M. Morrill,, chairman Of the

In 1860 Senator Sumner lived at Mrs
Cammack's boarding house. For years
Senator Wade of Ohio lived at Mrs
Hyatts boarding house, while Senator
William p. Fessenden lived ut Mrs
Chapmans boarding house, very
humble hosiery.
Sometimes several senators dubbed
and lived at a single modest boarding
house. For example, In 1866 Senator
Doolittle Of. Wisconsin, Senator Cowan
of Pennsylvania, Senators Foote and
Collmar Of Vermont all lived at Mrs
Carters boarding house on A street
northeast.
The cost of living everywhere
throughout the republic is many hun
bred per cent what it was hundred
years ago. seventy five years ago, fifty
years ago Yet great as has been the
cost of living throughout the whole
nation the increase Of the cost OF liv-
ing in the republics capital has been
vastly greater than and enormously
out of proportion with the greatly
increased cost Of living elsewhere
throughout the country.
But Notwithstanding this the salaries
of congressman and senators remain
precisely what they were forty years
ago.
Most state treasurers and state audi
tors get much more. and hundreds OF
county officers get many times more
than the salary Of United States SEN

Why This Year Was So Frisid.
(New York MALL

(NeW York Ma1l)
Now we know why April, May and
June of this year were the coolest on
record. The heat of the sun is kept
up by the burning of the sinners, the
sun being really the seat and scene
of the internal regions; and the world
has been getting 50 much better re-
Gently that the supply Of sinners for
purposes of fuel has in a considerable
degree failed, and abnormally cold
weather on the earth and other plan
cts is the result. Such. at least, is
the inference to be drawn from the
important discoveries made by Rev.
Zeb Hetzel Copp, pastor of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian church In
Washington, and minister in charge of
the Bethaney Mission chapel in that
city.
