A Harvest Home Party.

In Sweden they make a ceremony of bringing in the last sheaf of wheat signifying that the summer is over and the harvest ended" With this in mind, a hostess who is noted for her originality issued invitations for Harvest Home" party at her place in the country. It is now quite the thing not to return to town until the first of November, so the beautiful foliage and the glories of autumn are enjoyed to the full. At this party, which was given last year too late to get in the department owing to the fact that it must be made up several weeks in ad- vance, the house and spacious yer andas were literally covered with gor- geous oak and maple leaves, as was the lower floor of the great barn where dancing took place at eight o'clock. The hours were from five to ten, which just permitted the making of trains to and from the city.
 A novel feature was the playing of the band composed of the workmen on the place They were mostly Ger mans, and as each department had it's own foreman with helpers the or ganization was quite complete as well as unique. They played for the dan cing, and to a most stirring march they led the gay party to the last sheaf of wheat in the field It was laid in the pony cart belonging to the ten-year-old daughter of the house, who drove the prettily decorated pony into the barn, where the sheaf was placed in the middle of the clean ly swept floor and the hostess paid a tribute to Ceres, health being drunk in mulled cider made on the place and served by the hostess. After a supper of fried chicken, boiled ham, hot muf fins, rice and tomatoes cooked to- gether with shrimp. which the colored cook said was "Jumbalaya," tea. cof fee, Macedoine of vegetable, salad and pumpkin pie, the dancing began After few informal dances there was what the hostess called a Farm CTS" cotillon. because all the figures pertained to work on the farm, and the favors consisted of big straw hats. sunbonnets. whirs. milking stools. tin pails. spades. rakes, hoes, etc. It was all very original and pretty. Cider frappe was on hand for the dancers.

Young Dr. Cranston's mind was lowering between hope and fear as he drove over the hill to the Taber set tlement one fine afternoon. He had been calling at the house of old An drew Sinnett very regularly for some time past, and on this particular oc- c&sion had determined to declare him self to Nelly Sinnett's father as suitor for his pretty daughters hand
 He found Andrew Sinnett enjoying an after-supper smoke on the yeranda of his house, and bracing himself for the ordeal poured the story of his af lection for Nelly into the old mans ears. The latter heard him patiently and did not interrupt until Cranston had finished his pleading. Then he spoke briefly and to the point
 T might as well tell you first as last, Doc" he said, that your views and mine regarding Nelly don't hitch. I'm a selfmade man, well-to-do, and gave my daughter a good education l expect she'll pay me for it. in way, by making a good match, when she does marry, and a slim, young chap like you just starting in to prac uce on sick folks, don't suit my notion of good catch for girl It would De as easy for the lunatics that are hankering to see the steam cars run ming here In this valley to get the line of the new railroad changed in it's course, as for you to win Nelly against my wishes"
 Well, MT Andrew Sinnett," said Cranston, calmly, I'm sorry you feel that way, for l had hoped that you would favor my proposition. But I'll tell you something. mean to marry Nell, and not only that. but you'll live to see the railroad trains running through this valley and right across your own flats"

laughed long and heartily. Well we'll see Doc" he said at last, and I'm willing to make a bargain with you, right now If the railroad is ever built through this valley, you shall marry Nell and welcome, providing she'll have you. But if it don't, then you must give up the idea. You may come and see her once in awhile, if you want to- for can trust my lass, but that's all. Is it a bargain?"
 Cranston was somewhat taken aback at the readiness with which his sweet hearts father had met his boast, but nevertheless he shook hands on the compact with due solemnity. Now" said Sinnett, genially, "Ill just call the lass. and explain it all to her so that everything may be fair and above board"
 After Nelly had made her appear ance and the situation was made clear to her, Sinnett went indoors and left the lovers to taik it over together on the porch.
 When Cranston left the Sinnett homestead, he turned his horses head in the direction of Burmash, where he knew the chief engineer of the new railroad was staying for a few days It chanced that the youthful medical man had been of some service in mending a broken arm for this great parsonage month previous, and the latter consequently received him gra- ciously It was past midnight when they parted. after long confidential chat, and Cranston whistled merrily as he lrove over Dawes Hill back to Mertuns Corners. A few days later Andrew Sinnett, visiting the Taber. vile post office in search of mail was surprised by the sight of q p!acard printed in huge black letters dis played in full view of all passersby. It bore the title of "Railruad Meet. ing!" and the substance of the 5lll was a strong appeal to the citizens of the township to turn out and make one more effort to procure change in the route of the new railroad. The change in question could be effected by the securing of comparatively small stock subscriptions, fair per centage of free right-of-way and the bonding of the township for only $25,O00.
