A Bird In the Wronu Flock

The temperance society was to meet
that afternoon. Mrs. Philpots dressed
In hurry and came painting down
stairs. She was short plump woman.
"Addie, run up to my room and get
my blue ribbon rosette, the temperance
badge" she directed her maid Il have
forgotten it. You will know it, Addie--
blue ribbon and gold lettering"
"Yas'm, l knows it right we'll" Adj
die could not read, but she knew a
blue ribbon with gold lettering when
she saw it, and therefore had no trou-
bic In finding it and fastening it prop
erly on the dress of her mistress.
Mrs. Philpots was too busy greeting
her friends or giving close attention
to the SPEAKERS at the meeting to note
that they smiled when they shook
hands with her. When she reached
home supper was served, so she went
directly to the dining room, where the
other members of the family were
seated
"Gracous me. mother" exclaimed
her son. THAT blue ribbon-have you
been wearing that at the temperance
mectng:'
a loud laugh went up on all sides.
"Why. what is it. IIarry?" asked the
good woman. clutching at the ribbon in
surprise.
"Why. mother, dear didn't you know
that was the ribbon | wore at the
show?'
The gold lettering on the ribbon read:
ATLANTA Poultry Show. First Prize
Bantam" -Youth's Companion.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Supposed Widow Astounded When
Greeted BY Husband.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn, Sept. 81
Mrs. Elizabeth M. Pierce, who has
imagined herself widow these
thirty-one years, was dumbfounded
when stranger walked in and
greeted her as his wife.
Under the mask of his long white
beard she recognized the features of
the man she thought dead when he
disappeared thirty-one years ago
from their home in a Long Island
town.
He was not an Enoch Arden. There
has been no other sweetheart to take
the place of the mourned one. She
had three little children to bring up,
and as the years went by and she got
40 tidings from the missing man she
taught them that their father was
dead Now the two SONS are occupy
ing well-paying positions and for the
last few years Mrs. Pierce has been
living in ease.
The white-bearded stranger quick
ly convinced her that lie was none
other than the missing Edwin B.
Pierce, and before she told him her
tale of hardship and sacrifice he UNI
folded his history of three decades.
