ueouoth; o especially for mew cried
NJ .IInrn ely! But I won't open
it until the last. Take out the other
things, mother, dear"
The other things were taken out.
One by one Mrs. Brent unfolded them
and laid them in a pile on the floor.
Not one Of the girls yentured to make
a remark Of any sort, and Alice did
not dare glance at Stella.
THAT is all, I think, my dears," said
| the mother as she placed on the pile
the white petticoats Carrie had con-
tributed. II will put all the things In
my closet and examine them at my
leisure"
BLESSED are they who expect moth
ing, for they shall not be disappoint-
ed remarked Stella.
"Stella" Mrs. Rrent's voice was one
of rebuke. Little Ruth began to weep.
Here, let's look Mt my box, Ruthie,"
said Alice. 1--WE mustn't forget that"
Probably filed with soiled ribbons
and discarded artificial flowers" NUT
tered Stella, in whose black eyesaangry
tears burned hotly.
With fingers that trembled a little,
Alice united the pink ribbon and re-
moved the cover of the box.
ooh, obi" she said. Mother, look
here! Just seew And then her voice
broke and tears filed her eyes.
In the box, neatly folded, lay a pref
ty white china silk waist trimmed
with lace, q pair Of perfectly new tan
gloves, three dainty handkerchiefs and
twelve yards Of fine white lawn.
There's some mistake" said Stella;
"this doesn't agree with thesrest ,at-all.
Probably they williwrtte ttbshaveattre-
turned"
"Stella, dear, we couldn't expect
them to send things they could use
themselves"
mo, I. suppose not, and I'm an un-
thankful wretch. Beggars shouldn'tsbe
choosers, but'-and her voice quivered
q little-"it isn't in me, somehow, tosbe
a grateful beggar."
Mrs. Brent wrote a we'll worded let
ter Of thanks to her cousin.
II must not neglect to tell you," she
said in conclusion, ''of Alice's pleasure
in the contents of the %pasteboard box.
The pretty gloves and dainty silk
waist fitted her perfectly, and she is
busy today making up the lawn, which
will be her best gown all summer"
Aunt Clara bit her lip as she laid the
letter down.
"How ridiculous Of. Jessie to send
new things" she muttered. "And
was so particular to tell her that any
thing would do"

No Country Mansions, In Cuba.


You are disappointed in not seeing
splendid mansions in Cuba. The head
quarters of the haciendas consist Of
groups Of low and unloyely buildings,
surrounded by ugly walls, but. in. this
respect, as in many others, appear
ances are deceitful. The frequency Of
Instructions and the enterprising ban
ditti have, made it necessary forsplant-
ers to protect themselvessaan inc their
homes as securely as possible, and ev-
eryshacienda is a fortress capable of
being defended by the retainers Of the
owner who live with him within the
walls. Some Of the larger plantations
are still maintained on the feudal sys-
TEN, but many Of them have passed
from private ownership into the hands
Of corporations, and the former pro-
prietors are living in Madrid, Seville,
Paris or perhaps New York, while
salaried administrators reign in their
stead. The patriarchal relationship be-
tween the owners and the tllers Of the
soil is rapidly passing away.-Wash;ng-
ton Star.

A Wise Old Mule.

Our old mule would not work after
II o'clock. We would be compelled to
unhitch, go to the barn and let the
mule eat as long as he was able to
swallow; that would be about two
hours. Then the mule would be ready
for work. It mattered not how late
In the day when the mule was taken
out in the field, or how cloudy It might
be. The wind might blow so strong
that the sounds Of the bells and the
whistles could not be heard, or the
work would be in some out Of the way
place where no one could be cen going
to dinner. Yet when IL o'clock came,
to the minute, he would refuse to work
any longer. We have taken feed and
let him eat before noon. but this did
not satisfy him; he must, go to the barn
ut noo or kick everything to pieces.
We tried the mule In a coal mine, but
with the samesresult. SHesseemed to
tell the time In the mine equally Us
well as out of it-Chicago Tribune.
