Welcome Rain.

isn't that a lovely shower" ex-
claimed Mrs. Randall to her friend in
the parlor as they gazed out on the
sudden downpour.
yes, we need it so badly"
Need it? l should say we did. It's
a God-send! Why, our goldenglows,
hyacinths and roses out in the back
yard are shrinking for the want of
rain. The sprinkler can't take the
place Of rain, you know.
Indeed not"
"Oh, 1 tell you this is just lovely!
See how it pours! And to think that
just when everything threatens to dry
up and every one is praying for rain
nature answers these appeals and
sends us beautiful Good heavens!"
"What's the matter?"
1--WE left the baby out in the yard!"

The Happiest.

In the smoking-room of the Finland,
discussing a June wedding, Andrew
Carnegie said:
And thank goodness it wasn't an
international marriage, though the
bride did have 10 millions.
Not" appended Mr.. Carnegie, that
object to international marriages
wherein the two parties are good and
honorable and we'll matched. But so
many of these marriages are like one
that Boston cynic described to
me.
WAS it happy marriage? I asked
this Bostonian.
"'Oh, quite said he. The bride
was happy, her mother was over
ioyed. Lord Lacland was in &C.
stacies, and his creditors, I under
stand, were in a state of absolutely
endless and uncomfortable bliss"

Sex in CromWeIIs,

OF course with the sexes on foot
ing of equality as regarded oppor-
tunity, it would not be long until fe-
male Cromwell made her appearance,
and, having made her appearance, was
getting her portrait painted.
The painter, once more a faWn-
ing, courtly fellow, would have the
picture a dattery; but she rebuked
him in words that became historic!
Paint in the hips!'' she command
ed, sternly, showing that she could
be more rigidly devoted to the truth
than Oliver himself.-Puck.

JinX had never been at a meeting
of the club since he was married, but
this was the night of the annual cleo
ton of officers and, as he told Mrs.
Jinx, big dub was trying to be elect
ed to the presidents chair who was
no way fitted for the position, and he
considered it duty that he owed his
old associates to be present and lend
his influence and his vote toward the
election of a better man.
At the club that night there was a
considerable uncorking of oratory pre-
ceding the casting of the ballot.
Jinx' man was defeated, but it was
cluded and as a sort of consolation
for his disappointment he permitted
himself to be inveigled into little
round of roodles before going home.
So when he finally used his latch-key
on the front door it was going on one
o'clock and he was nervous and con-
science stricken, which means the
same as being ashamed of ones self,
and he thought he would creep to her
bedside and would kiss her uncon-
scious cheek and promise not to do it
again. AS Jinx tiptoed into the room
he discovered her seated upon the up
holstered shoe-box with the family
Bible on her knees and tears on her
cheeks.
We'll, you see, Happy" began he
as his eyes followed her eyes to the
clock, 81 just got to playing roodles
after the election and did not notice
the flight of time"
1T was more interesting than the
thought of your poor frightened little
wife at home here all alone, l sup
pose!"
"Oh, dearest, we're you frightened?
never dreamed that
Yes, 1 am, too! And I guess you
would be frightened in house all by
yourself till midnight"
Men don't get frightened; but it
shall not happen again, dearest; I'll
get some one to stay with you the
next time
There amt going to be no next
time! I'm nervous; you read to me

Hospitals a Benefit to Property.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
has recently concluded an investiga'
ton, which shows that 675 per cent.
of the tuberculosis sanatoria and hos.
pitfalls of the United States have been
a benefit to the property and health
of the communities in which they are
located. In the case of more than 81
per cent. of the sanatoria the presence
of the institutions has helped to in
crease the assessed value of surround
ing property.

Had to Hear Evidence.

Some ladies were visiting at
Blanche's home one day. During the
conversation, while the visitors were
there, one of the ladies was describ-
ing how the blowflies laid eggs and
they Matched out as maggots. Four
year-old Blanche did not seem to be
interested in the conversation nor pay
any attention to what they had been
talking about. After the visitors had
gone, Blanche said:
Mamma, don't believe flies lay
eggs"
"Why?" asked the surprised mother
Because never heard one cackle,

Mother Bird Drove Boy Away.

People on Main street, Dallastown,
Pa, witnessed an amusing sight the
other morning, when curious small
boy who climbed into maple tree for
a closer inspection of nest of young
robins was put to fight by an angry
mother bird. Discovered by the old
bird after he had clambered into the
tree the youngster was savagely at
tackled. The bird pecked viciously at
his bare hands and face, causing him
to retreat to the ground, and then
driving him home.

the world moving right along without
them just the same as it did when
they stood around and talked in SUI
perior tones about how it ought to be
managed.
Father is all right when he gets out
of the picture as still-life study,
passes up poker and the ponies and
learns to lead in prayer. He is on the
right road when he realizes that he
needs courage more than coddling,
and when he can turn his back on the
past and face old age without batting
an eye, father is ON with both feet.
