Honeymoon in Arabia.

For seven days after the wedding
the Arab bride and bridegroom are
supposed not to leave their room. The
bride may see none of her own family
and only the women folks Of her hus-
bands, who wait on her.
She remains in all her wedding fin
cry and paint and does absolutely
nothing. The bridegroom generally
slips out at night after three or four
days and sees few friends privately,
but he persistently hides from his
wife's family, and should he by any
accident meet his father-in-law before
the seven days are over he turns his
back and draws his burnous, or haik,
over his face.
This is their view of honeymoon,
and they grow as weary of it as any
European couple do of their enforced

Why, 1t stood as high as Bobby s
head, and together the children
could not reach around It.
Bobby got the hammer and chisel
and helped his father pry out the

On the very top Betty found card,
and every one listened while mother
read 1t aloud:
Dear children-Here is another
harvest barrel from grandpa and
grandma. How we wish you were
here on the farm to help us harvest
the grains and vegetables and fruits.
We are looking forward to Thanks
giving Day, for that is the time we
"gather in" all of our children, large
and small, and we long to see you.
Love from both
Grandma and Grandpa.
The letter was laid aside, and
father rolled up his sleeves and be-
gan to unpack the barrel. First there
was layer of straw, then a layer of
tiny seckle pears, a layer of ripe,
yellow pears as large as ones hand,
and layer of green pears to be laid
away to ripen.
Then came some red apples, some
green apples, some yellow apples,
some brown russet apples and some
long apples called Sleeps noses"
Then came vegetables-parsnips,
beets, carrots, turnips and cabbages.
A long green stem was pulled out,
and what should come with 1t but a
round pumpkin with tag on it, which
read: "Bobby's own pumpkin"
"It's the one I planted" said
Bobby. when left grandpa's, it
wasn't much bigger than an apple,
and now look at it," 1t was as
large around as Bobby could possibly
reach.

SQUIRREL FRIENDS.

Very Independent are the squirrels
in Independence square.
And why not?
They live on the fat of the land,
without labor or worry. A number
of persons, who pass through the
square daily take them tidbits in their
pockets, while the kindly flremen in
the engine house on Sixth street are
always ready to give them treat.
1t Is doubtful If the tamest of them
would not go to live in this fine en-
gine house, only for the love Of
scampering up and down trees.
Delighted thousands pause to watch
the tamest of these, as he looks
critically over his human admirers
He's very keen at determining
their worth, too. Some of them are
merely curious. Some, hateful to re-
late, are not above playing him a
trick Others, however, are good
citizens and regard him as a good
neighbor, II not an actual taxpayer.

TO these last Breer Shady-tail gives
his confidence. He knows they will
reward his attentions with some deli
cacy, especially nuts with not too
hard shells.
OF the plentiful peanut, to tell the
truth, he is often weary. SO he
buries it until a day when his sup
plies may run short.
This burying, by the lay, does not
delight the man in charge of the
square, as it complicates the cutting
of the grass. But he should take
into consideration the delight given
the passer-by and not grudge the
charming squirrels their self-chosen
larders.
Though these squirrels lay b.
enough for the cold days, thank to
their instinct, they are seldom forced
to hunt up their hoardings, as must
their brothers who dwell in forests.
AS a rule they dislike children.
One little maid is trying to win over
the tamest of them, however. Though
Shady-tail is suspicious. it will not be
many days before he learns that his
dear little friend always brings him
something good and never plays him
trick. He may in time take to
searching In her pockets for treats,
Just as he does in the pockets OF some
of his trusted men friends.-From

cows, and this poking gait irritated
the team, so that they ierked at the
lines and SHE'D nervously every time
a weed stirred beside the fence or
a stone turned under their heels. A
light breeze was blowing down the
road, going in the same direction as
the wagon, and bringing fog of dust
along with it. Suddenly Jay, no.
ticed that even this breeze had died
out; and as he turned his head to
catch any sign of wind in the dis
tance, the sound of a continuous,
humming roar came to him. He
whirled in his seat and stared back
up the road.
The highway upon which the Haz-
Teton farm lay was the old State
road, running straight as a plumb
line for nearly two hundred and fifty
miles. Between the farm and the
town lay few insignificant hills, but
for several miles on the other side
there was neither rise nor depression.
For this reason, when Jay turned in
his seat he could see nearly to the
old creamery, two miles away-not
quite so far, because coming down
the middle of the road and hiding all
that lay behind, dragged what ap-
peared to be the frayed end of a
great black rope. Into the air tow
cred this strand, bu.ging as 1t as
cended, until 1t had reached its sum-
NIT, two hundred feet above the
prairie, and had widened into fun.
mel several hundred yards across.
AS Jay sat clamped to his seat, the
sultriness of the day had disappeared
as far as he was concerned. He
seemed to be freezing, and the sweat
that ran down his lace was cold
sweat. The cloud was advancing with
the speed of the wind-the swiftest
of winds, for that matter, for the
young man knew that he was directly
in the path of cyclone.
The act of forming the word in
his mind seemed to release him from
the terror that had bound him help
less in his seat, and he turned to
whip up the team. A little way ahead
lane opened from the highway and
led toward the distant house of one
Of Jays neighbors. Straight for this
lane he urged his team, shouting tc
the cows behind to step up. After he
had turned into the lane he looked
back, and found that the storm had
gained so rapidly that he still was
in jeopardy. He could see, too, that
the cloud was broader at the base
than it had looked when farther
away. SO that anything within wide
radius was sure to be caught. Their

He was going as fast as he could
without dragging the cows from their
feet. and with stubborn resolution
he refused to look round or to heed
the swift advance of the cloud. He
could hear trees swapping in its path,
and by this sign, and by the very
heavens above him, he could tell
Certainly he did not expect to escape
| When the noise of the tornado sound
ed behind him, and he found that he
and his horses were still on the
ground, he was surprised rather than
relieved He was not out Of danger,
however, for as he looked down the
road after the dragging rope of the
cyclone, q terrific crash of thunder
sounded, and he saw the mass Of
clouds before him torn open by a
ragged seam of fire.
In the suiveriIg, rosy light of the
flash, he had last glimpse Of the
storm-cloud sweeping past the lines
of the fence, rising occasionally and
leaving spots unharmed, then droop-
ing to tear up trees, and even posts,
with It's whirling tail, and to fill
the air with mass OF rubbish
Afterward the darkness of night COW
cred him. Crash after crash of thun-
der shook the ground over which he
was driving, and with dazed faculties
he strove to control his maddened
team.
Fortunately his neighbor's barn
was directly in line with the lane.
Still more fortunately, the double
doors were open. Jay guided his
team through the dark arch Of the
doorway, and brought up against a
row of stanchions. That was all that
kept him from going through the
barn and out the back way, he after
ward declared. With the shaking
knees of one who has been through
the valley of death, he crawled from
his wagon and tied the team to the
stanchions.
Half-heartedly he examined the
two muddy cows. They were puf1Fng
and wild-eyed, but apparently unin-
jured by their run. Then he went
to the door, waited for flash Of
lightning to show him the house, and
started toward it on a run. He had
stood the strain as long as he could
without human companionship, and
even at the risk Of being struck by
the darting lightning, he was deter
mined to reach the house.
He did reach it, and was received
by the two old people within with
gestures of welcome, but without a
word that could be distinguished.
After half an hour the storm began
to abate, and Jay was able to tell of
his race with the tornado, and of the
misfortune that had overwhelmed
him-for in the loss of his cattle the
young man thought he had been more
stricken than he would have been by

Wonderful rainhows in the rain;
And we hear the tread of the years move

So we sit by our household fires together,
Dreaming the dreams of long ago;
