The Vain. of an oni.;..

One of the most discouraging fea-
lures in the case of the young man
who stays at home is the fact that. no
matter what he may do, he seldom is
given credit. If he takes his fathers
business and makes it go big, every
body gives the credit to the father. I
know OF one case in a small western
city. A merchant who had been con-
sidered wealthy and prominent died
and left everything to his son. The
boy had been away from home for
three years and was doing fairly well
in a strange city without relying upon
paternal assistance. He returned and
took hold of the business. To his sur
prise, he found conditions rotten. Be
yond the good will the assets scarcely
would cover the liabilities. He dug In.
worked desperately and in two years
time had things Strengthened out and
was on the highroad to prosperity. A
sudden business collapse in the town,
followed by bank crash, caught him
hard, and he was forced to assign He
paid dollar for dollar, yet today in that
town they point him out as man who
wrecked his fathers business.-Jonas
Howard In Chicago Tribune.

huddled on his doorsTep.
He carried the woman indoors, laid
her on the old fashioned settle and re-
lighted his lamp. Then, with some
thing like a groan, he sprang back to
the inert form. 1t was Nellie!
Fifteen minutes later a white and
very quiet Nellie sat before the snap
ping fire with blankets wrapped around
her still trembling figure and a cava-
lier In short sleeves serving her tea
and toast
And now tell me how it happened"
Tom said, with authority.
II didn't realize it was storminR so
dreadfully, and my machine broke
down just before closing time. The
foreman-the new man, you know,
from Boston-said that II 1 wanted to
make up the time I'd lost-Im doing
piecework now-he had some extra
work to do, too, and he'd see / got
home all right. l was sort of glad to
stay, because it's fierce to go home to a
cold room in the hotel a night like
this, and when you have a headache
you just hate to sit evenings In the
parlor with a lot of folks and the piano
jangling. So l stayed, but-but'-her
voice was low and tear heavy-''on the
way down the stairs-he-he tried to
kiss me, and then l ran through the
snow, sort of blind, / guess, and the
first thing 1 didn't know where 1 was.
l just saw the light didn't know it
was your cottage"
Pride struggled with relief in her
tired voice.
Have some more tea" said Tom abb
ruptly, and then for some minutes he
busted himself around the room. stand
ing before her at last In his heaviest
outdoor raiment
Where are you going? Please don't
leave me alone"
'This storm is no joke, Nellie" he
said quietly. First I've got to get in
fuel to last us all night and perhaps
longer. Then, before we're showed in
for fair, I'm going to bring over the
Rev. Mr.. Gary" Nellie rose uncer-
tainly to her feet. Now, don't get
Hurried. You've had your lesson, and
I've had mine, and we're going to be
married tonight. You can't get to the
hotel in this storm, thank God, and you
can't stay here except as my wife,
his voice turned suddenly tender-"and
l want you to be my wife"
Nellie rubbed her face against his
shabby, fuzzy overcoat. "All right,
dear" she said docilely, and then, even
as his arms closed around her, she
murmured: tom. dear, this shiny fire
looks so good and homelike Those
registers up at the hotel sort Of give
you a chill"
And then Tom knew that the cottage
looked shabby no longer.

II Must Be Horrible Torture, Accord

In an article on bathing In the Dead

pertinent says: mo sooner has one
plunged into the water than one is
whipped off ones feet and goes bob
bling helplessly about, like a wretched
cork. In the effort to regain ones foot
Ing and get back to shore ones feet
and shins are barked by the jagged
stones and pebbles, and when at length
one does emerge from Its treacherous
bosom, with the lower limbs bleeding
and torn, one becomes aware of a hor-
rible tingling and burning sensation In
eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth and almost
every pore. cfs the skin from the brine
and bitumen which have penetrated
everywhere. Unless great care is TAX
en- the bather In the Dead sea is liable
to an eruption, which breaks out all
over the body and which is commonly
known as the Dead sea RASH The
best antidote to this is to hurry across
as quickly as possible to the river Jor-

sacred but dirty stream will effectually
remove the salt that has incrusted the
body."-New York Tribune.

Within the limits of particular groups
large ears may be taken, as a rule, to
indicate either great powers of hearing
or the necessity of catching every
wave of sound. Thus, forest dwelling
animals generally have much larger,
and especially broader, ears than their
relatives inhabiting open country. An
excellent instance Of this is afforded
by the okapi Of the Semliki forest, as
contrasted with the giraffe of the more
open districts Of Africa-the ears in
the one case being excessively broad
and leafiike, while in the other they
are comparatively narrow and pointed.
Similarly Grevy's zebra, which inhab-
its scrub Jungles in Somaliland and
northeast Africa generally. has much
larger and wider ears than the ordi-
nary zebra of the open veldt-Seientif-
ic American.

DIVIDING THE
REWARD.
BY Henry Stroule.
Copyright, 1907. by c. H. sutclifre.

Bertha looked up in dismay as the
stranger entered. Kenton City was
not so far ahead of a frontier town
that holdups were absolutely unknown
and the sudden appearance of this
brawny intruder did not suggest a
peaceful errand.
Tremblingly she made change for the
fifty dollar gold certificate he handed
her after deliberately testing its gen
uineness and pushed the little pile OF
bills toward him.
Aren't you rather young to be left
In charge of bank?" he asked as he
deposited the change in his wallet. Il
supposed that three or four men were
the usual crew, not little girl
II am not little GIRL" she said in
dignantly. I'm nineteen, and 1 guess
this will help me out"
This" was a huge revolver, and as
she held it toward him he noticed that
1t trembled in her uncertain grasp.
I'm satisfied" he said, with a laugh.
"Please put it down"
Il guess there's no one going to rob
this bank even If there is only a girl
In charge" she said defiantly. "Any-
how, father and the cashier will be
back from lunch shortly"
'"They lunch rather late here" was
the significant retort as he glanced at
the clock. Three o'clock lunches are
rather rare in Kenton City, are they
not?'
Bertha's heart sank So he must
know that her father was i'll in bed
and that the cashier, the only other
official Of the bank. had gone over to
the railroad. Perhaps he knew also
that in the vaults were the payrolls Of
the two mines which made the First
National financial possibility.
Eve were busy this morning." she
stammered. II guess pa will get back
SOON
II want to see him a moment" was
the quiet response with your per-
mission. 1 guess I'll wait"
Perhaps" she suggested, che may
stay home. 1 don't know. He said
