 He recalled the jeers of his boyhood companions as they sneered their rough witticisms at him. It was the way of the country and he could not stand the finger of scorn and had fled That was in the long ago and he had almost forgotten--until now.
 As the train stopped at the little station on the hill it seemed as if he had left it only yesterday.
 But nowhere was George White, the old agent? A young man filled his place. The driver of the stage was another stranger. Old Eb Brown was also thing of the past
 None knew the portly middle-aged man as he strode towards the coach that piled between station and town. There was moments pause, while the driver gathered the mail, as old Eb had done so many times, and they were off
 As the rig rattled over the rough roads the man within watched with interest the scenes of his youth. The town had changed little in the years that had passed.
 When the coach paused at the old homestead the mans eyes filled with tears. A woman came from the house; mother and son were in each others arms.
 On the porch stood his father to welcome the man home. With misty eyes the united family stood. All hearts were full The parents hopes had been realized and the prodigal had come home.
 How could I have remained away so long?" he asked again and again as the old folks hustled about, trying to make him comfortable.
 And, Charlie. you are now a bank or they tell us," said his mother, "You, who left us so long ago, are the image of your father at your age
 "My boy,' spoke the father, "it has been long time since you went away, but we are mighty glad to have you back again"

 There was the old-fashioned house, the porch with the long steps. Every there.
 A figure moved about in the parlor. He knew well where the parlor was. He heard the organ. It was Stella's favorite air. He paused and his eyes filled with tears as he heard that voice again.
 Slowly he ascended the steps and pulled the bell. The playing stopped and he heard footsteps. The door opened and the light of the hall streamed upon his face.

 He saw that her once golden tresses were streaked with gray, yet much of the youthful beauty remained and he found his heart quickening as he gazed at the woman. And you are the great banker they would have us believe-little Charlie Stearns, who used to be my tease at school?"

 Only the old folks-?" she began, but the big man silenced her as he grasped her hands and said:

 As Charles Stearns gazed into the fire in the library of his home, the fickering light seemed to recall days of the past. In fancy he saw again his boyhood home, his parents and ac- quaintances. How little they had been ! to him for so long time.
 Quarterly stipends he had supplied to the old folks. yet he had never needed the call they sent out for their only son.

 thought meant an act with Stearns. His mind once made up, 1t took much to change 1t. His decision to return to the farm for the holiday gave him pleasure. He could hardly await the time when he was to start.

Learn Amount Of SNOWFALL.

In districts where the irrigation sys-
tenn is followed it is decidedly desir-
able that the amount of snowfall in
the neighboring mountains during the
winter should be known with reason
able accuracy in order that the water
available for irrigation may be approx
mated. These mountainous locali-
ties are generally uninhabited and
there is no opportunity for making
daily observations such as may be
done in the more accessible sections
The most satisfactory results have
been obtained with what is known as
a SNOW bin"-a cubical box five feet
on q side. standing on a frame ground.
TIE bin is fitted with a system Of
lowers on the inside to prevent the
wind from blowing out the snow and
to insure a level deposit within.

snake-kIIIIno Birds.

In South Africa is to be found the
champion snake killer of the bird fam
ily 1t is known as the secretary
bird.
The name seems an odd one, but
the bird received its name from a
crest or tuft of plumage rising from
the back of its head, which reminds
one Of a secretary OF bookkeeper with
a bunch of quilts stuck behind his
ear.
AS rule it attacks smaller snakes
in preference to the very powerful
ones, and in doing so uses every pre-
caution against contact with the pois-
onous fangs or strong cells. 1t does
not attack its prey suddenly, but, aft
er walking round the spot occupied
by the reptile, suddenly spreads its
wings and gives the reptile sudden
but sharp blow on the head with its
very hard and sharp talons. This is
done so quickly that the reptile has
no chance to resist.-Harper's Week

NOT WARNED BY HER PEARLS

representation of the lady who COM

somewhere that luck really means the
possession of a sixth sense which
warns one of coming disaster OF dan
ger. The Empress Eugene must sure
ly been possessed of the faculty,
though alasi she did not profit by 1t.
Strangely enough the empress first
act after her marriage showed that her
mind was brooding on images of death
and sorrow. At the beginning of her
honeymoon at st. Cloud she asked Ma
pcleon to drive her to Versailles and
there she inspected with mournful in
terest the rooms Of Marie Antoinette
In the Little Trianon.
"On returning to Paris the impe-
rial pair visited the Archives Nation
ales and read Marie Antoinette's last
letter. written from the Conciergerie
on the morning of her execution. Eu-
genia in later years made a collection
Of relics belonging to the hapless
queen"

The Dogs Mind.

I have a Skye terrier possessing
what seems to me at least to be an ex-
traordinary knowledge of time. On
each day of the week. excepting Sat
urday, some scholars pass along a
road at the back Of my grounds, about
D. m, on their way home-about a
mile distant. If the dog is out Of
doors he invariably joins them. &C
companies them home. and returns.
If he should happen to be indoors at
the hour they pass, he sits at a
window watching for them; and when
they appear, he asks plainly and pal
pably to be let out. On Saturday,
however. when the school is shut, as
soon as the doors of my house are
opened in the morning, he makes OF
for the children's cottage, and spends
the week end with them, returning to
me on Monday. And so 1t goes on for
weeks.-The Scotsman.
