SILVER WEDDINGS.
They Had Their Origin in the Reign
Hughes Cauet.

They Had Their Origin in the Reign
Hughes Capet.
The fashion Of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hughes Capet,
king of France in 9S7.
Once as Hughes was arranging his
uncle's affairs he found on one of the
estates servant who had grown gray
In the service OF his relative. He had
been such a friend of his master that
he was almost looked upon us one Of
the family.
On the farm with this old man was
also a serving woman who was as old
as he and also unmarried and who had
been the most devoted and hardwork.

uncle. When the king heard these
praises Of the two, he ordered them to
be brought before him and said to the
woman:
your service is great. greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than a
man. and therefore I will give you q
reward. At your age know of none
better than dowry and a husband.
The dowry is here-thls farm from
this time forth belongs to you. II this
man who has worked with you five and
twenty years is willing to marry you.

"Your majesty" suffered the old
peasant confusedly, show is 1t possible
that we should marry, having already
silver hairs?'
''Then it shall be a silver wedding"
answered the king. land here give
you wedding ring" drawing a costly
ring from his finger and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to-
gether.
This soon became known all over
France and raised such enthusiasm
that 1t became a fashion after a twen-
ty-f1ve years. marriage to celebrate .

Return of
the Prodigal

Gilbert Summers was prosperous as
far a. worldly goods goes; he owned
q drug store with all modern improve
ments; a snug little balance In the
bank. with more added to 1t each week
and the people of the village called
him well-to-do.
His most valued possession was his
little Sunbeam" his 7-year-old daugh-
ter, who was the only child. and al.
though the world called him cynical
and morose, the child was able to call
forth the best there was In him.
The world also called him queer.
When i his wife ran away Summers
made no effort to follow her. but coll
tinued the even tenor Of his way. and
as far a. the world knew. he quickly
erased her from bis memory.
When Summers. the business man.
left his drug store with courteous
goodnight to his clerk. he became GIL
bert Summers, domesticated. the father
und the mother Of his little Sunbeam"
Those long and happy evenings Sum-
mers spent alone with his child wer.
sacred.
| The little village where Summers did
business did not wonder nor lament
when n Agn over his drug store an
nonnced be wlS going to move to the
city and enlarge his business. They
snapped up the bargains he offered and
exchanged remarks about the weather,
wished him good luck In his new ven
ture, and went back home.
| These remarks measured the extent
Of his friendship In the village. He
had but one friend and that friend
stole away his wife. Therefore, Gil
bert Summers called no man friend.
A month later saw Summers estab-
lishcd in his new store IN the heart of
a great city. 1t represented his entire
capital and he dedicated 1t to his little
sunbeam"
He was cold and calculating and
knew he would succeed. His was a
strange philosophy; he pitied his child
ON account Of the stigma cast on her
name by her mother, but somehow felt
40 II 1t was all his fault and he wanted
to make it up to her In some way.
Summers was at his desk one night
after the clerk had gone home. and the
druggist and his little daughter were
alone, when the tap Of q coin on the
showcase announced a customer
He moved briskly TO the front Of the
store and saw the figure Of a woman at
the counter. She was poorly and thin
~ clad and the cold blast that chung
to her frayed shawl chilled Summers
to the bone. He noticed her ragged
dress. coated with snow that was rap.
idly melting. She did not look up at
him when she spoke.
II want q dimes worth Of carbolic
acid" she said, In a low tone, pulling
the shawl about her face.
Summers gazed at the poor creature
with a plying glance. He was not sen.
tlmental. but the detected droop Of her
lahoulders appealed to his sympathies

Something in his voice made the
woman look up at his quickly. As she
raised her head the shawl fell from
her face and they looked at each other
squarely. The recognition was mutu-

GILBERT" she exclaimed. Her tone
bespoke the anguish in her heart, but
the pleading note in her voice failed
to touch him. All the old bitterness
was aroused anew and at the sight Of
her face Summers steeled his heart
resolutely.
No one would have suspected that a
torrent of emotions had been awakened
In his breast. His face hardened. and
to all appearances he became cold and
cynical.
At that moment little Sunbeam"
ventured out from behind the prescrip-
ton case. and as she caught sight Of
the pitiful figure standing there with
the tired. hunted look in her eyes. the
Guild ran forward with shout Of joy
and threw herself in her mothers arms
The woman sank to her knees and with
heart-brOken sobs rained kisses on the
child's up-turned face.

IRELAND's FAIR.

In Herbert Park, not far from the
heart Of Dublin city and partly on the
site Of Donnybrook fair Of unsavory
memory, stand the white buildings of
the Irish International exhibition, says
Everybody's. The difference between
these noble palaces and the rickety
booths of DonnybrOok is symbolic of
the difference between the old Ireland
and the new; Of the deeply significant
renascence and awaking of the nation.
Ireland's fair might well be called her
birthday celebration. DOnnybrook fair
used to be the trading place for all the
peasants and small farmers and petty
shOpkeepers Of the country who could
ride or walk to the spot, for this was
their great social center. In the retro
spect Donnybrook may seem pictur-
esque. as showing the Irish Joy in liv.
ing. the bravery and song. But actual
ly Donnybrook showed the bitter effect
Of a cruel land system forced on Ire

But the old Ireland is dead and there
is new ireland, becoming more and
more unified and coherent through
a variety Of causes, chief Of which are
the new land system and the recent in.
dustrial development. Now the peas
ant may himself be small landholder.
He lives, or may live. in a decent house.
His younger sons, through the new tech.

Is and all that she will become are
wildly suggested by the exhibition.
