81 will promise TO scold when you are
we'll enough" Alison would say, in her
most cheerful manner, for she knew Mis-
sic must not be encouraged 10 be morbid.
Just now. darling. I can only remember
you are i'll, and that your poor arm is
giving you trouble. l know 1 should be
cross If l had so much to bear"
But in spite OF Alison's assumed cheer
fitness she was growing pale and thin.
Her close confinement in Missiles room
tried her: no one but Alison suited the
sick girls fancy-no one else seemed TO
understand her little ways. Miss Leigh's
gentle mournfulness irritated her: she
had never cared much for Anna, and she
had lost all desire for Eva's companion
ship. and though her father had generous
" Withdrawn his prohibition, Eva had
only once been admitted 10 her room. The
interview had been little embarrassing.
Eva had cried and begged Missile to for
give her. and Missie had been kind and
magnanimous in her answer: but after
the first few agitating minutes their talk
had drifted into silence; Missile was Ian
guild and out Of spirits, and Eva did not
possess the art of soothing-the bond of
sympathy between them seemed broken.
Roth of them had yet TO learn that SINH
larity of tastes and the boistereus spirits
Of youth do not lay the foundation of
lasting friendship. While Alison and
Anna seemed to cement their intimacy
more every day. as the good qualities of
each became more apparent, there were
SYMPTOMS that Missile and Eva would
drift still further apart.

The Taft Tour.

One Of the most interesting phases of
Mr. Taft's recent tour through the West
has been his remarkable display Of ply.
steal endurance. Except for hoarse-
ness, he has come out of the ordeal
apparently as strong and as fresh as
he was on the day he made the first
speech Of the journey.
The test which is put upon a can,li-
date in one Of these rear platform cam
paigns is little appreciated. The num-
Der Of addresses made in a single day
would try out the most leather-lunged
of lawyers. Mr.. Taft, in his tour, de
livered as many as sixteen between sun
rise and nightfall. There is actually no
hour which the candidate can call his
own. He often leaves a hall and Jams
way through crowds as late as mid
night and before dawn he is dressed and
prepared to talk to group of admirers
which has waited for him throughout
the night. Then there is the handshak-
ing, a thing which becomes a torture
after two or three days of the exercise.
There are tricks about the game which
save the muscles of the politician. but
all Of them fail when the candidate tries
them upon number of husky farmers
or iron moulders The strain is terrible
il the tour is long continued one, such

The Busy Bee,

Wealth, rated for convenience in
terms Of money with gold as It's basis,
deceives the careless student 1t dulls
the perspective and causes him to put
Il false value on other things, custom
arily neglected, but relatively large
contributors to the wealth of the ma
ton. When we read that Colorado pro-
duced S35,OOO,0OO in gold last year 1t
is impressive enough to cause fleet
ing thought of the boundess wealth
that is stored within it's hills and
rocks.
Once or more year the American
hen is placed ON the shrine and wor-
SHIPPED as the source of more wealth
than all the mines. But it is very late
ly that it was discovered that the busy
but neglected bee produces S25,000,000
for the farmers Of the country. The
same investigation disclosed that with
little attention the bee could be made
to triple his product.
Even as it is, the honey crop is
worth more than the rice and buck
wheat crops combined. 1t is earned
without blowing, sowing or reaping.
The labor employed is negligible; the
soil requires no fertilization and ma
chinery is dispensed with. The bee is
Of some consequence.-St. Louis Re

Mr.. Longworfh,s Denial.

Nicholas LOngworth declares abso-
lutely and utterly false the report that
in his recent speech at Rock Island and
again in Indiana he advocated two
terms for Mr. Taft and then the re-
election of Mr.. Roosevelt to the presi-
dency. There is no stern chase half so
loug as that which denial must make
when 1t sets out to overtake q flying
falsehood, but in the present instance
lr. LOngworth's statement is so ex-
pliclt and so convincing that the pub
lie hardly will hesitate to accept it.
From the first the story was so Inn
probable as to arouse ineredulity. Mr..
LongwoTth has always acted with such
admirable good sense in the somewhat
trying position of the Presidents SON
ill-law that the people of the country
will be all the more ready to take his
word that he never was guilty of such
piece of political folly and bad taste
as the third term for Roosevelt story
implied.
Moreover, it must be borne in mind
mat there are not lacking individuals
in both parties who will take advantage
Of the campaign to circulate canards
against their political opponents.
Among misguided partisans the Golden
Rule is lost art, or at least an archaic
custom. Indeed, the government wealth
er bureau should nail to the mast it's
roorback warning and the general pub
lie should keep several grains of salt
within reach while perusing the cam
paign yarns which will be uncovered
daily until election time.-Chicago Post

Use for Grass Clippings.

Grass clippings may be used in
mulching strawberry beds, newly plant
ed shrubs and trees and groups Of the
tall, hardy phlox or any shallow rooted
plant. They help retain the moisture
In the soil and protect the roots from
the effects of the hot sun.
They are used in keeping down rank
growing weeds around manure piles
and in fence corners If put over them
In very thick layers. When dumped In
heaps cut grass heats rapidly, killing
any weeds under it. When fall comes
break up the matted Jumps nd pile
away in some corner. Break up again
the following spring and again in the
fall and you will have black mould
useful in tightening up heavy Soils

NEVER MISSED A MAIL.
And Old Postman in the "Gkost
Country" Never Saw a Wrath.

And Old Postman in the "Gkost
Country" Never Saw a Wrath.
Few regions in Pennsylvania have
more mysteries and ghost stories and
thrilling traditions to the acre than the
wild and stony country stretching along
Swamp creek from Sumneytown to Fin
land, a few miles east Of Pennsburg,
writes a correspondent Of the Phila-
deIphia Record. Massive powders are
piled up and strewn about in weird con-
fusion from the edge Of the creek to
the tops of the high hills on both sides.
Here and there is a small tract of land
where a Pennsylvania German farmer
tries to exc out an existence by tilling
the thin soil. The chief products, how
ever, are spruce and cedar trees and
blackberry and huckleberry thickets,
among which snakes of fabulous dimen-
sions have their habitat.
Almost the only outsiders who ven
ture into the Swamp creek region are
bass fishermen, who have been let into
the secret that some of the biggest and
widest bass in the inland waters of
Pennsylvania are in this stream. Par
ties of fishermen from distant points
have been coming here year after year,
camping for week or more along the
creek. For the summer boarder has mott
yet invaded this country, and hence
there are no resorts for the entertain
ment of visitors. Therefore those who
would enjoy the piscatorial delights and
the scenic beauties of the Swamp creek
valley must rough it.
The feature that attracts the, most
attention from visitors Is the Indian
cave" near Finland. According to the
tales of the natives, sDook of most
forbidding mien guards this cave
Sometimes the apparitiOn is in the form
of a huge dog and sometimes it is the
regulation ghost of the old-time story
books. At any rate it is declared that
this supernatural guardian watches
over a chest of gold which robbers in
the eighteenth century are supposed to
have buried there.
Few of the natives venture near the
cave. Several years ago a Pennsburg
clergyman resolved to explore the cav
ern to prove the falsity of these super
stitious beliefs. But when his inten-
lions became known a vigorous protest
was made by his friends against the
proposed venture on the ground that he
would unnecessarily impertl his life, SO
he finally abandoned the attempt I'm
mediately, however, another clergyman,
the Rev. J. A. p. Harris of Garisville,
Bucks county, undertook the task. He
made thorough exploration of the cav
ern and found that it was about fifty
feet in depth, but contained little wor-
thy of mention and no traces whatever
of anything supernatural.
The one man who knows every nook
and Granny of this region is John Heitz
who for twenty-five years has carried
the mail between Finland and Mclean
station, on the Perkiomen railroad
without missing a trip, no matter how
bad the roads or how deep the snow He
has lived on a farm about two miles
from Finland for nearly fifty years and
Paradise" is the name he has bestow-
ed on his farm, in the midst of sur
roundings that hardly recall the GUS
tomary descriptions of paradise.

Dead Shot for Insects,

When insects, mice or other crea-

observation-disclosures.

"You have come to see US at a bad
time" said the Best Citizen. Every
body has gone away for the summer.
l would not be here myself if it were
not for some unexpected business mat
ters."
What do you mean?" queried the
Man from Mars. You say that every
body has gone away, and yet the
streets seem to be actually crowded
with people,"
''Of course; how stupid of me.'' re-
turned the Best Citizen. THAT is one
of our idioms, you know. l mean ev-
erybody who is anybody has gone
away The workers are all here, to
be sure"
who is anybody?" persisted the
Man from Mars.
We'll, you see that is another of
our idioms," responded the Best Citi-
zen Il hardly know how to explain
it. 1t means anybody who amounts to
anything"
Don't the workers amount to any
thing?"
We'll, not in that sense. OF course
they amount to good deal in their
way" The Best Citizen was begin
ming to feel that he was in deep wa
ter.
The Man from Mars reflected q mo-
ment. Then he said: Anybody who
has gone away for the summer is
PEELED to stay at home is nobody"
Very clever, very clever" agreed
the Best Citizen.-Success Magazine.

with renewed thoughtfulness.
Roger will read it." returned Alison.
feeling the task would be good for her
brother and distrusting her own voice :;
and though Roger looked a little shy over
it, he did not refuse.
Missile lay with closed eyes anil listen
ed, and he harassed expression passed
from her face.
Thank you: that was beautiful" she
said, when he had finished. How nicely
you read, Roger! Now l viii try to be
good and not wake Alison Perhaps
when the light is shaded I may drop off
TO sleep"
Alison was in sore need of rest by this
time; her head ached as well as her
limbs; but she had one more duty to per-
form before she laid down in the little bed
that had been prepared for her in Missiles
room, and that was to bid her father
goodnight.
He welcomed her with a smile. II
feel easier tonight he said. and his
voice was stronger. my good nurse has
made me very comfortable. and dare say
We shall both be able to sleep a little.
How is Pussie?" the old name escaping
from his unawares.
Il do not think she is any worse" she
replied, cautiously; but she still suffers
great deal, and she is making herself
so unhappy about you"
Tell her not to do that" he replied
with a little effort; she need not take
the blame Of the accident on herself; she
has enough to bear without that"
May l give her your love, papa?"
ooh, yes he said. as though snrpris-
ed by the question, for he knew nothing
of the child's misery Tell her l hope
she will have a good night" And them
as he seemed weary, she left him.
Missile received the message in silence,
and, as the light was dim, Alison could
not see her face. She fancied that just
as she was dropping off to sleep there
was a sound as though some one was
crying but her senses were too drowsy
to take in the fact that it might be Missile
sobbing in the darkness. Her last recol-
lected thought was about Aunt Diana
Roger had promised to write a few lines
from the Office, and she had wondered if
he had done it.
How shocked Aunt Di will be-" she
thought. land how sorry for US all ~ The
half-fnished sentence was completed in
her dream, for she dreamed that Greville
was rowing them both among the water
lilies, and Aunt Di was gathering roses
and throwing them into her lap.
do not cry, child, it will all come
right in time" Alison heard her say );
there is a silver lining behind every
cloud, you may be sure of that" And
then she woke with a start. Something.
she did not know what, had disturbed
her; she sat up and looked round in be
wilderment. The moon was shining full
| into the room, and Missiles bed was
| empty.
