All Three Kinda

There is village in New England
which clings fondly to the customs of
the past and has small regard for limo
vations. Not long ago an old resident
died. The lawyer who went up to set
tie the family affairs stayed overnight
at the little inn. He was a dyspeptic
and ever cautious about his food.
Therefore he looked searchingly at the
waitress as she stood at the breakfast
table the next morning to greet him.
"Pm-er-obliged to be very careful
Of myself" he said solemnly. "My
diet Is extremely limited. What sort
of breakfast food have you? That is
all I take in the morning except dry
toast"
"We have apple, squash and mince,"
said the girl, regarding him in kindly
and sympathetic fashion. "You can
take your choice or have all three If
you like."-Youth's Companion.

BURIED HER VOICE.
Why Pauline Lucea Never Sang After
Her Husbands Death.

Why Pauline Lueea Never Sang After
Her Husbands Death.
Great stage artists die twice-the
stage and set aside the harp; the Sec
ond time, when, like ordinary mortals,
they go the way of all flesh-and who
knows but this last act is not more
bearable, not less dreadful, than the
first when, after all the binding glory,
the shadowy curtain Of oblivion de-
sends? For Pauline Lucca this first
act was of long duration-nearly twen-
ty years. She had time to outlive her
glory and to become acquainted with
the bad memory Of mankind. Ilka
Horwiz-Barnay tells this story in con-
nection with q visit which she made
to the Lucca home in Vienna: II ask
Never!' she almost shouted. I never
sing, for lost my voice, lost it sud-
denly, by suggestion, through the will
of another After being urged to ex-
plain she exacted a promise of secrecy
until she was no more and said:
You know, my husband, the Baron
Won Wallhofen, was sick for long
time and heard little singing. When
I did sing for him it had to be an old
song which 1 disliked, but he was
fond of it because of its words. One
evening we had few friends here.
He was feeling somewhat better and
had his chair wheeled into the draw
ing room. To please him I sang his
favorite song. He wept with pleasure.
Then he took my two hands and
caressed them, stroked my hair and
my face and whispered to me: Thank
you! Thank you! You are an angel!'
And, still caressing me, he said, $50 I
shall take your voice with me to the
gravew 1 laughed and said, You
will outlive my voice and me-" But
he repeated, " shall take your voice
with me to the gravel" Two days
later the baron died, and l was never
able after his death to sing a note -

FARM WORK NOW EASY.
The Farmer Presses the Button, Elec-
tricity Does the Rest.

Last week the Electrical Develop.
ment Company, of Hartford county
gave public demonstration of the
uses to which electricity may be put
upon the farm. The exhibition was
given in the Hotel Irving, at Fork.
After an elaborate reception in the
hotel, which was presided over by Mr.
]. Alexis Shriver, president of the
company, the guests were then shown
the enormous advantages in the use
of electricity, particularly in the coun-
try.
The company was incorporated AL
gust 9, and this was it's first demon
stration of the use of automatic appli-
ances for household and farm work.
1t is proposed to develop electric pow
er to be applied to farm work.
Many country folk looked on in won
der at the electrical chatting dish,
clothes wringer and washer, hot water
bag and water heater, and appliances
for horse currying. According to the
company, all the country housewife
will have to do nowadays is to super
intend, while the electric current does
the work
Already the company has received
applications from residents throughout
the countryside to install the appli-
anceS in the homes.
The company has control of and is
now operating the Belair Electric
Company, which supplies the electric
light and power to the town of Be1air.
Even to the electrical milking of
cows, which the company instituted
some months ago at the st. Omer's
farm, Baltimore county, they will now
install appliances that will perform
almost any part of the farm or house
hold work.
Milking cows by electricity was at
first ridiculed, but it was demonstrate
ed before large gathering that it
could be successfully and at the same
time proftably accomplished

HER FACE WAS NOT FAIR.
But There Was One to Whom She
Would Always Be Beautiful.

But There Was One to Whom She
Would Always Be Beautiful.
The blind boy raised a rapt face to
the light.
"And my mother?' he said question
ingly. 'Tell me how she looks again.
1 shall soon be able to see, and know
I shall find one more beautiful than all
the rest and cry: Mother, mother! Why
do you not speak""
His sensitive face was turned re-
proachfully toward his father. 'sYou
have always told me how lovely she Is.
She is little-not taller than my Shout
der-I know that"
The old man laid his arm over the
lads shoulders.
"You must know now what your
blindness would have kept you from
knowing" he said. "Your mother is
not fair and beautiful now in face, but
her soul is what God made for moth
er. When you can see, look for the
face which holds the greatest love.
You will not be mistaken. It will be
your mothers"
The great surgeon looked for mo-
ment or two into the sightless eyes and
then turned and laid his hand on the
fathers trembling arm.
"Only God can make him see, my
friend" he said kindly. 'Your boy
was born blind, and human skill can
not help him."
The blind boy was the first to speak,
and he laid his arm around the sud-
denly aged form Of his father.
"Come," he said, "let us go back to
mother. She will always be beautiful
to me now" and they turned and gave
place to the others.-Exchange.

A Chinese DeIicacy.

The tips from the topmost shoots of
the bamboo tree are culled when they
are not more than three inches long,
peeled and preserved much as pine
apple is. though the tips are cut in
quarters. This fruit has remarkably
delicate and pleasant taste and is large
~ used as a flavoring for meat, though
1t can be eaten in the raw state, being
rich and juicy. The edible is expen-
sive on account Of the difficulty in Sc
curing it from the tops of the tall,
slender trees at just the right time.

An Uncomfortable Answer.

In one Of Sir George Colley's letters
he says: Lord Lytton had a good
story about poor Lord Leitrim, who
shortly before his murder, talking with
countryman about some cases Of
landlord shooting, asked, why don't
the rascals shoot meY 'Ah, thin, yer
homer said the man, it's just this

HIDING Places of Diamonds.

If the Regent diamond as shown in
the Louvre is only model in paste
and the real stone is hidden away, it is
case of history repeating itself, for
in 1897 when the Regent diamond was

was demonstrated with upon the dan
ger Of exhibiting it to the public he
replied: 1.-The Regent that is in the
glass case Is sham. The real Regent
is in my wife's stays."-Pall Mall Ca

GOV. PATTERSON
 DEFEATS CARMACk
Tennessee Primaries Result in Defeat for Statewide
 Prohibition Idea.

Memphis, June 27.-Returns received from the Democratic primaries indicate the nomina- ton of Gov. M. R. Patterson for a second term over United States Senator E. w. Carmack.
 The campaign just ended was the most remarkable in the his- tory of the state and was note- worthy for the introduction of preachers, children and women in politics in greater numbers than in any political clash in the Volunteer State.
 Fer the first time in Tennes- see, aspirants for a Democratic nomination met in joint debate. Prominent Democrats, including United States Senator Bob Tay- Tor, urged against such a plan. contending that such methods would split the party. but the candidates decided on the plan to discuss in joint debate their is- sues before the people and pre- sent their claims for recognition. Great crowds attended fifty-two speeches, which started iii April and ended three days before the polls opened.
 The issue at the outset was met by both candidates squarely. Sen. ator Carmack declared for state. wide prohibition. Governor Pat. terson took the stand that the present temperance laws, giving
