Went Leapng Through the Big

into the yard, and there was one of
the twins, scooting around as lively
as could be, and then Pethcod ran
around to the other side of the house,
and there was the other twin-or at
least it seemed so-but he couldn't
be sure, the twins are so lively.
PethcOd says he ran around the
house for over an hour, and some
times he thought 1t was both twins
and sometimes he thought it was only
one. moving from place to place, but
at last he got SO puzzled that he took
the twin and tied it to the pump, and
then when he went around the house
he saw that there was no other twin
there, and he knew the other twin
must have wandered into the big
woods and got lost
1t was getting on toward dark by
then, and Pethcod knew that the
only thing to do was to get up
search party and search the woods,
and he would have done it immedi-
ately, but he couldn't decide which
twin 1t was that was lost He stood
and looked at the twin that he had
tied to the pump, and sometimes he
thought 1t was John, and sometimes
he thought it was Joe, but he couldn't
be positive, and until he could be
sure he wasn't going to start a search
party, for 1t would be plumb foolish
to start out search party to find q
twin that wasn't lost.
About the time he was getting per
fectly discouraged Mrs. Scroggs came
out and he told her what was the mat
ter, and she stood awhile and looked
at the captive twin. and then she
spoke right up.
d That's John!" she said positively.
"All right then," said Pethcod, and
he went right down to the post Office
and gave the alarm that Joe was
lost in the big woods, and Uncle
Ashdod Clute Immediately got on a
box and organized a public meeting
to consider the best thing to do. The
first thing he did was to nominate
himself chairman of the meeting, and
he appointed Pethcod secretary, and
named vice-chairman and second
tice-chairman. So that got things
started all right, and Pethcod wrote
a letter to himself, stating that Joe
was lost, and then he read the letter
to the meeting, and It was the unani-
nous opinion that the matter was
important, and that a petition ought
to be drawn up, petitioning the chair
man to appoint searching commit
tee to search the woods and hnd Joe
as quickly as possible, but it was too
late by that time to get the petition
ready, so the meeting adjourned, to
meet the next night, and Pethcod was
instructed to have the petition all
ready.
He went home feeling a lot bet

Safety Pocket for TRAVELLING.

Safety pockets for jewels and
money are a necessity for the woman
travelling. Frequently they are made
to belt on the waist under the blouse;
sometimes to be fastened to the garter
under the knee, and sometimes to be
strapped around the neck. Good ones
are made of chamois skin, securely
Tapped, pinned and buttoned. Some
dainty ones are made of embroidered
linen, lined with chamois to make
them secure. Other patterns of safe-
ty pockets have bands around the
waist, while the pocket is attached
with a band to the belt

MARITAL WOES OF RICH
BY GERTRUDE ATHERroN.

I am not prepared to say, as an
unqualified assertion, that there ia
more marital infelicity among the rich
tnan In other classes of society. But
there are many reasons which might
go toward bearing out the claim.
For one thing, people who are very
rich are often prominent socially.
When such couples fall out the
newspapers, eager for gossip and
knowing the interest the world at
large takes in the wealthy, stir up the
d1ssens1on.
Foremost, however, among the rea-
sons for especial matrimonial unhap-
p1ness among the rich (if such unhap-
piness really exists to q greater de-
gree than among the poor) is the
marriage of convenience" Among
people composing the wealthy set in
our large cities marriages are oftener
matters Of policy and desirability than
the mere outcome Of mutual affection.
There is, in many cases Of this sort,
no real love from the very outset
Women marry men of great wealth
and social position because their fam
lilies are ambitious
1t is but natural under such circum-
stances that more or less jar and lack
of congeniality should ensue. Moth
ing but an unusual degree of tact can
avert such friction.
Such people are, after all, but hu-
man, and woman, who is forced by
her familys ambition to marry a man
for whom she has no natural inclina-
tion or affection, is not unlikely later
to meet man with whom she falls
seriously in love. This is a condition
which might perhaps have been
wholly avoided had she been born
in less exalted financial sphere and
allowed to choose husband for her.
self. Family fortunes are thus main
tanned or raised, sometimes at a cost
far greater than mere money involves.
have an old-fashioned belief that
a husband and wife should be real
helpmeets: that a husbands business
cares and perplexities should be un-
derstood and shared by his wife: that
his business losses should be her
losses and his triumphs her triumphs
Often among the rich this is not
the case. The wife, brought up to
wealth and luxury, cares not in what
way the riches that surround her are
gained.

Age begins to tell after 60.

A woman must dress to meet it.
There is absolutely no reason for

Women of this age should never
think of wearing any color except

A Candid Judoe,

A Dover lawyer tells a story in
which figures Hon. H. L. Dawes, who,
it seems, in his younger days was an
Indifferent speaker. Shortly after his
admission to the bar he had a case
which was tried before North Adams
Justice OF the peace, and Dawes was
OPPOSED by lawyer whose eloquence
attracted large crowd. The justice
was perspiring in the crowded room
and evidently fast losing his temper.
Finally he drew of his coat and, in the
midst of the eloquent address. burst
out:
"Mr. Attorney, supposing that you
take seat and let Mr. Dawes speak.
I want to thin out this crowd."-Lip-
