When they stood on firm earth i'll the

his newly discovered mastery. You're
too tired to walk back to town It's
miles from here and rough walking.
I'll get horse and buggy somewhere

Oh. David Forbes.
And they thought you knew nothing
Of women.
The stranger assented with meek
ness as unusual in her as imperious-
ness was in David.
Never before had David been SO
anxious that his fine house and well
kept farm should make Il good impress
sion. Mrs. Forbes received the girl
with eager hospitality. When she
heard of the accident her sympathy
was boundless. The visitor recovered
her spirits quickly. She told them
that her name was Marion Hills
and that she was visiting an aunt

looked at her son in helpless wonder

she said as with mutual satisfaction
they strolled through meadows and
orchards.

your people where you are:" David
asked when she remarked that it was
growing late

much where L am. l have no one

There is some one who cares very

commonplace little story of struggle
and hard work.
You are not going back at all" said

girl should work like that and have no
one to take care of her. Two weeks is
enough counting. l believe girls usu-

The Garden Variety.

To write a cheer up poem
You take your ready pen,
Likewise a piece of paper.
And sit down in your den;
Then let the pencil wander
Across the dainty sheet,
And in about a minute
The thing will be complete.
Cheer up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer up,
Cheer up is what to say;
Cheer up, cheer up. cheer up, cheer up
And all the while be gay.
And never frown. though you are
down
Or blind or halt or lame.
Cheer up. cheer up. cheer up, cheer up;
The price is just the same.
No need to waste gray matter
In writing rhymes like that.
Just set the pen in motion
And on the job stand pat,
And If you should grow drowsy
Proceed TO take a nap,
For when your sleep is ended
The cheer will be on tap.
Cheer up. cheer up. cheer up. cheer up.
If that is not enough,
Cheer up some more should any one
Make bold to call your bluff.
Cheer up and down and sidewise
And pass the thing along,
Then sell IT to the sucker
Who buys that kind of song.

The Faster Mao.

A writer, relating some of the incl
dents of General Grants last days,
tells in the Century Magazine this an
ecdote of the ex-president. He was, as
every one knows, very fond of horses
and while spending Il summer at Long
Branch was accustomed to take daily
drive behind a noted trotter.
BY courtesy, although often against
his wish. he was always given a free
ging along he noticed in a casual way
4 farmer and his wife. who, with sim
gle horse and errand wagon, were just
ahead evidently returning from mar
ket
On attempting to draw alongside"
and pass the couple there was q race
on in Il moment
The farmer chirped in peculiar way,
and his horse squatted into a long gait
ed and easy trot. Altogether it was a
yeritable surprise to the other driver,
with his professional trotter" and
light road wagon. But the farmer kept
the lead in spite of General Grants eff
forts to overtake him.
Occasionally through the dust he
could see the farmers wife look back
to note their relative positions. Final
~, after mile heat, the farmer slow
ed up little to allow the general TO
come within hearing distance.
"Did you know who it was?" General
Grant was asked.
ooh. yes" he replied. ''The man
simply said, General, you've got a
good one and then allowed him to

Panics and the Presidency.

Political prophecy, not being in
spired, is uncertain. We can only deal
with possibilities and probabilities.
Nevertheless, some knowledge of the
future may be obtained by observing
the facts of the past, especially when
they can be formulated into some
thing resembling a law.
1t is a fact that every finacial crisis
in the country for nearly three years
has been followed by the defeat of
the party in power at the next cleo
ton.
The panic of 1897 was during Van
Buren's administration, and in 1910
Van Buren, was defeated for reelection
by William Henry Harrison.
During President Folks administra
ton, in 1S4S, there was a small panic
Zachary Taylor, the candidate of the
opposing political party, was elected
The panic of 1857 occurred during
the presidency of Buchanan. and in
1860 Lincoln, of the opposing politica
party. was elected.
In 1873. during Grants second term
there was panic. and Tilden. the can
didate of the opposing political party
was elected. although Hayes wa.
seated after hocus-pocus, which al
historians admit.
