Whose Was 1t?

Tn q certain Denver church one Sun
day a bright new half dollar was no.
ticed in the aisle by a woman in one
of the pews. She was wondering how
she'd get il, and in glancing around to
see if her discovery had been noticed
she saw woman directly behind her
looking at the coin. The first woman
feared the second would "beat her to
it," so she put her hand over her
mouth and whispered:
''How shall [ get that half dollar l
just dropped?"
"You didn't drop that. l dropped
it." replied the other
The women were both wondering
how to get the half dollar when man
came along with the contribution box.
AS he offered her the box woman
across the aisle from the other two
said to him:
81 just dropped half dollar on the
floor. Would you be so kind as to
hand it to me?'
The man picked it up and gave it to
her. The other two women, although
they are neighbors, haven't spoken to
each other since.-Denver Post

German Syrup

We want toimpress on our readers
that Boschee's German Syrup is
positively the only preparation on
the market today that does relieve
and cure consumption. 1t contains
the specifice, such as pare tar, ex-
tracts OF gum, etc, ETC., which have
been so highly endorsed FOR the cure
of coughs, colds and consumption
by the great medical congresses.
The consumptive, whether his disease
is in the throat or lungs, must have
rest at night, aud be free from the
spasm of dry and rackine cough in
the morning. The diseased parts
want rest, healing and soothing
tseatment, and the patient needs
fresh air, good food, etc, German
Syrup will give free and easy ex-
pectoration in the morning with
speedy and permanent relief. Small
bottles % cents; regular size, con-
tanning nearly four times as much,
70 cents. At Frost & Spies.

at sight of the trim strange maid, but
he took the dish from her hands with
smile of appreciation. Probably some
neighborly friend of the family, pity
ing his bachelorhood, had sent it over.
From Miss Westley-Miss Mathilde,
sir-for the sake of Aud Lang Syne,'
she said. A moment later Kitty was
out of the gate, and Russell Peabody
stood staring into the space through
which she had disappeared, and as he
stared q radiant hope awOke in his
eyes. For one second he knew what
is termed ''mad, delirious bliss" What
If she had meant that there was no
past-that she wanted him again as he
used to beat her side; that she cared,
even as he had, more and more through
all the lonely years that had divided
them? Was she clearing the road for
him at last, the road for which he
longed, but lacked the courage to take?
After awhile he closed the door and
went back into his study. With trem-
bling hands he gathered up all his
treasures and locked them back in the
cabinet-all but the faded knot of rib
bon This he wrapped carefully in
piece of paper and wrote across the
back of it:
"Will you wear it this evening for
Aud Lang SyneY"
Afterward he went out in the street
and stopped a boy who was coming
along with some papers. He gave him
the package, thrust a half dollar into
his hand and pointed the way to Miss
Mathilde's cottage.
The day hung heavy on Russell Pea
body's hands. Would she wear the
pink ribbon, or was her overture of
the morning simply an act OF neigh
borly kindness? When night came, he
dressed himself more carefully than he
had done for a score Of years. He
discarded the usual black tie for one
of less sober hue and fiicked imaginary
specks of dust from his broadcloth
lapels at least a dozen times. He
looked at himself a bit uncertainty in
the glass; but, after all, fOrty-three
was not SO very old, and time had
traced no unfattering lines on his
keen, good looking face.
At 8 o'clock he left the house and
walked rapidly, without looking up, till
he came to Miss Mathilde's gate. The
high fence was tangled in clematls,
and he did not see her at all till his
hand rested on the latch. She was
dressed all over in white. With
white rose nesting at her throat
above faded knot of pink ribbon.
"Mathilde:.' A vivid light leaped to
his face, illumining it.
She answered by quick flash OF her
eyes, and he, reading loves language
in them, held out his arms.
She went to him with a little some
thing between a sob and laugh, and
he kissed her softly under the twin
king November stars.

The Longwoods had just moved to
Glendale after generations of residence
In Lexington When Miss Mathilde
found out that they were there and not
only going to live in the same town
with herself, but as close neighbors,
the began to hustle about and make
hOspitable preparations for receiving
them in her own home.
Twenty years ago, when Mathllde
Wesley was a girl in her teens, she,
too, with her mother, father, sisters
and brother, had lived in Lexington,
and the Longwoods and WestleyS were
like twin families. But one by one the
parents and sisters had passed away,
leaving Miss Mathilde and her brother
sole survivors. After a few years OF
dreary lingering in the old home they
had drifted to Glendale, where Jake
Wesley had built up fiourishing lit
tie mercantile business.
A little later had come also the Pea
bOdys and pitched their tent just across
the street from the Westleys' pretty,
rose sheathed cottage. But for this cir
cumstance Miss Mathilde might have
been contented, even fairly happy. Her
life was full Of congenial, healthy tasks
which she performed with as much
kheerfulness as she did thoroughness,
each day standing forth as it's own
bright monument of reward.
If only there had never been a Rus
sell Peabody! Every day for fourteen
years she had been forced to see him
three times, four, sometimes five, as he
passed in and out Of the gate across
the way going back and forth to his
work.
For Just a little while many years
ago the sun of happiness had shone
upon Miss Mathilde's life. 1t was in
the days when she was a Vassar girl
and he a student at Harvard. They
had met, fallen desperately in love, eX-
changed vows and rings, only to find
on their return from college that bit
ter feud had existed between the West
legs and the Peabodys for scores of
years back That marked the end Of
Mathilde Westleys brief love dream,

Land Crabs of the West Indies

In the West Indies is found species
of land crab which lives a considerable
distance from water, but once year
migrates to the seashOre in order to
spawn. As soon as the crab reaches
the beach it eagerly goes to the edge
of the water and let's the waves roll
over it's body to wash off the spawn.
The eggs are Matched under the sand,
and soon after millions Of the newborn
crabs are seen quitting the shore and
slowly travelling up the mountains. The
yearly migrations of the old crabs are
among the wonders of animal life. In
going down the crabs Of large region
seem to select a certain rendezvous,
and there they gather in countless
numbers. The procession, which is
commonly divided into battaliOns, with
the strongest in 'front.' sets forward
with the precision Of an army. In trav-
cling they turn neither to the right nor
left Even if they meet house they
will try to scale it. The night is their
chief time Of travelling, but if it rains
by day they improve that occasion.

and Russell Peabody settled down as
an old bachelor almost before he was
man. Thus the years drifted.
This morning Miss Mathilde was
busy with her dust cloth, interrupting
herself every little while in the clean
ing to run back to the kitchen and
glance at the preserves sizzling in
big copper kettle. The new maid was
tending them, and Miss Matbilde, after
stirring them vigorously for q moment
and pronouncing them done, pushed
back the little damp ringlet that in
sisted upon escaping from the soft
knot on top Of her dainty head, while a
sudden look Of inspiration glowed in
her face She took a deep old fash
toned dish out of the cupboard and
filed it with the fragrant steaming
preserves.
''Put on a fresh white apron right
away, Kitty, and take this over to the
little brown house on the other corner,
where the Longwoods live. Tell them
that Miss Mathilde sent it-fOr Aud
Lang Syne.' Can you remember that"
Then she added to herself:
They've just moved in, and I know
they haven't got everything fixed up
yet, so the peaches will come in handy"
Now, there were two little brown
houses across the way, and each OF
them stood on a corner. Also Kitty
was a new maid, and it was not unnat-
ural that she should have selected the
wrong place. Miss Mathilde was so
deeply engrossed in the bOttling proc
ess that she did not even look up as
the girl went out of the gate.

WATERS AWFUL POWER-

The problem before the engineers If
the government in handling the over
flow of the Colorado river into III .
Salton Sink and the havoc it is caus-
ing. is admirably set forth in the
Technical World Magazine. Both
text and pictures of the localities with
which it is accompanied, give a vivid
idea of what the men have to face
who are sent out to save the fertile
valleys which the flood has threatened
so seriously.
It IS a tale which gives a wonder
full conception of the power of watcn
uncontrolled and the writer, Wilbu"
Bassett, has handel it very we'll :
deed. His description of the cOndi-
lions which have brought about the
present state Of things in the valleys
which extend back for miles from the
river banks, and his tale of the
rivers terrible destruction of every
barrier which has been set before ii
is very remarkable. How the water
has cut it's way down through the soft,
silt of which the surface soil
is composed, and what it will do if it
is allowed to go on Unchecked-or if
the engineers fail in their efforts to
check it, form the subject of a start
ling story.
