Mems Cards.

Mems cards are PIXIE, and the same
style of type as for women is usually
used. No address is ever given unless
the cards are TO be used when travelling
or when man lives at q club.
Cards for Mr.. and Mrs together are
not often used. Sometimes they are
IauCled for the first year after marriage
or TO accompany gifts, but III is more
or less of an old-fashi0ned custom.
The first year after a daughter is in
urOduced into society she should have
her name just below and on her mothers
card, and this she should use AT all
times. If two daughters enter society
during the same season. then The
Misses Grey or smith should be direct
- under the mothers name.
When the young ladies have card

She held out her hand, and Bob took
it, and murmnred something about
hoping she would be happy; but
lump rose In his throat and he grew
very white, and Emily, seeing this,
read his secret, and was sincerely
sorry.
Soon after that she and Tom were

since, though she knew he had sue
ceeded to his fathers business and en-
larged the store, and when her baby
came, he had sent her the finest white

forded.
All this came back to Emily as she
busily worked in her little kitchen.
She had been very happy in her mar
rage, she told herself Toms temper
had been a bit uncertain, and his
moods were not always pleasant. Still
she knew he loved her, and to her he
was king, and the king could do no
wrong. She did not regret her richer
lover.
Bright and early the next day Tom,
braced by a good nights sleep and
some Of Emily's well made coffee,
started off to look for work It was
damp, and the streets were sloppy. He
remained out too long and took Sc
we're cold. A week later, he fell i'll
with rheumatism. All E1nily's courage
was needed then. There was the doc
tor to pay and medicine to buy. She
saw their slender store of savings slip
ping away Her own strength was
none too great and her duties were
heavy.
One particularly black day she came
to desperate determination. Leaving
the baby asleep, and telling Tom she
had an errand to do, she walked rap
idly to the store in which she had for
merly worked.
"A lady to see you Mr.. Harden"
said the young assistant to her en-
ployer, motioning to Emily, who had
waited timidly in the front of the
store
1t was hard to ask help Of any one,
especially of a former lover@to ac-
knowledge to the man she had half
scorned in the old days that her hand
some Tom had fallen short even in one
particular But she blushed at the
thought as unworthy of her, and faced
the ordeal Would he be unforgiving,
she wondered, and exultant over the
change in their positions, or would it be
the same as If she were anybody else?
But the minute she saw the kindly
look on Bob's face her heart beat high
with hope. He listened attentively
while she told her story.
Il must do something to earn
money" she said at the end, some
thing which can be done at home; for

other to take his place who in many
respects has made good" in an
equally remarkable way. The new
Governor, A. 0. Eberhart, was born
in Vermland, Sweden, June %, 1870
He came to America when he was
eleven years Of age. Until 81 years
of age, he lived in Nebraska, and
worked as cowboy, hired man, and
farmer. \
In 1891 he entered school at Gus
tavus Adolphus College, st. Peter,
MINI. Here he completed both the
academy and college courses, which
ordinarily take seven years of hard
work, in the remarkably short time
of four years and three months.
Nevertheless he graduated in 1896
from the college with the highest
standing.
Later he entered the law Office OF
Judge Lorin Cray, where he seems
to have entered upod his political
career. He has held a number Of
state Offices; was a member of the
state senate 19O3-19O5; was elected
Lieutenant Governor 1906; and re-
elected 1908.
Whether or not he can make

Governor Johnson did, time will

told of one farmer who had 200 acres

Mr.. Norby informed me that land
