What is it, Mary?" he asked one
evening, when his wife had been more
than usually morose.
He half expected the tartest OF re-
ioinders; but, to his astonishment, MS
wife burst into tears and laid her head
upon his shoulder. And Phineas found
himself caressing her as he had not
done since Tim was baby.
"Phineas,' she wept, Il feel so mean
and hateful, the way I've treated the
Flahertys and the Hooligans, after the
friends we've been. It's for the boys
sake, Phineas, dear, isn't It."
Sure, that's all right" answered
her husband. "They understand"
"Do you think they think l think
they aren't good enough for u.s." in
quired his wife, raising her face, wet
with tears.
Il guess they think they'd do as
much If they were in your place,
Mary" he answered.
For half pin" said Mary, I'D stay
right on here for old times sake, and
and invite the Hooligans and Fla
hertys to the picnic after all. But"
she sighed-"Its for Tins sake, isn't
it?"
Sure" answered her husband,
bravely, though he, too, was thinking
Of his old friends and those merry eve-
nings at Rafferty's.
But three days remained when the
post brought letter from the lawyers
in Ireland. Phineas brought it duti-
fully to his wife. She opened 1t and
gave a scream.
"Phineas. We haven't got any mon
ey at all!' she gasped.
Phineas Kelly, with mixed feeling
of joy and sadness, took up the mis-
sive and spelled it out:
I'VE beg to inform you" he read
that an error was made In stating
that the estate Of your late uncle, Mr.
James Smylie, was likely to be proved
at five thousand dollars. The tota
amount of the estate is seventeen
thousand, all of which goes to you un
der the will, and"
Seventeen thousand" cried Mary

hand. "Phineas! It's true! Listen
! And check for this amount will bt
forwarded in a few days to you"
Suddenly the excited woman begal
to execute a pas seul before her hus
bands eyes.
Mary" he exclaimed, you'll be to-
tired to pack If you"
but we're not moving, Phineas
We're going to stay right on here"
'But we've got seventeen thousand
woman!" he cried.
That's why, Phineas," she an
swered. with five thousand we coul'
never be sure that the neighbors reall
looked up to us, but with seventeen
thousand we know. We can afford t
now. See?"
Phineas saw. He saw a welcom
corner in Rafferty's and the familia
faces Of his old friends smiling out G

And the kiss he gave Mary drov
away the look" forever.

FIN ATHLETES
may Be BARRED
FROM GAMES
As Result of Good Showing in
1912, Which Caused Jeal-
ouSy in Russia.


HELSINGFORS, Finland. June 20
The Russian government has de-
Itermined to use all its power to pre-
vent Finland from competing in the
Olympic games at Berlin next year
as a nation. General Steyn, the gov
ernor general, will soon issue a de-
cree dissolving the Finnish Olympic
committee and If Russian officialdom
has its way the Finish athletes will
not be able to appear at Berlin un-
less they enlist under the Russian
flag,
Good Showing in 1912.
This action is partly due to the
general Russian policy of suppressing
national aspirations, partly to a de-
sire to have Russia make a better
showing at Berlin than she did at
Stockholm in 1912. All who attend
ed the games at Stockholm will re-
member the contrast between the
splendid delegation from the little
Baltic province of Finland, and the
far inferior representatives Of the
Russian nation. The Fins appeared
under their own flag as a separate
body, with a great assemblage of
athletes, gymnasts and swimmers,
while the Finnish women who took
part in the two last branches of the
sports were, like the ladies from the
other Scandinavian countries, one
of the most attractive features of the
occasion.
Among the eighteen prize-winning
nations Finland stood fourth with
fifty-two points, only Sweden, the
United States and Great Britain beat
ing her-while Russia ranked only
fifteenth, with six points to her
credit. Throughout the meeting
there was constant friction be-
tween the Firms and Russians. The
Russians resented the appearance OF
the flag OF Finland among the others
as though she was an Independent
nation. The trouble eliminated in
a scene in the royal box at the
stadium during an evening concert
of singing societies, when the Fin
nish choir sang one of their national
hymns, which contained references
to Russia as the "oppressor" and a
Russian grand duke with his officers
felt called upon to leave the box
with ostentation.
No Success Thus Far.
Whether the Russian government
will be able to prevent the Films
from running their own show at Ber-
lin remains to be seen. NJ. Isvolsky,
the Russian ambassador at Paris is
said to have requested the Olmpic
committee to refuse to recognize
Finland. or to receive the Finnish
delegate, Baron Won Willebrand, but
his arguments were without result.
The only way by which Russian Of
flcials can carry their point would
be to prevent the Firms from going
to Berlin. Ii they could induce them
to go under the Russian banner
Russia would be one Of the formid
able competitors among the nations.

Story Of a Lost Diamond.

A lady residing int suburb Of Boz
ton sent her diamond ring to a well
known shop there to be cleaned. A
day or two later she took journey Of
several hours. When she reached her
destination she removed her glove. and,
10, the diamond had come out Of her
ring. A diligcnt search failed to reveal
the lost stone. She waited until her re-
turn to her home, and when the dia-
mond could not be found there she
went to the jeweler and told her story.
Il am afraid that you loosened the
stone when you cleaned It," she con-
cluded. She had little idea that he
would agree with her, but to her sur
prise, after carefully examining the
setting, be admitted: II am afraid we
did. I beg that you will select from
my unset stones a diamond Of about
the size and quality Of your old one,
and I will give you back your ring
looking as near as possible as it did
when 1t was new" And he never
charged her a cent! OF course he knew
who the lady was and that he could
trust her to tell a true story.-Kate

Rats are great nuisance in certain

thrive for some unaccountable reason,
but Ia replaced by domestic rat catch
er, whose presence causes decidedly
unpleasant sensation to visitors when
first they come in contact with the
creature. 1t is species Of small boa
constrictor-the gibola. The snakes
are not venomous. They sleep in the
house, generally taking up their posi-
ton at the foot of the stairs. When
nightfall approaches they begin to
awaken, and during the night they
glide swiftly about the premises look

Vast Amounts Of British Capital Ia.

Take first the capital supplied to

their railways. their oil fields. their
rubber plantations, their agriculture.
We all remember the political catch
word Of capital going abroad" and
the campaign against British invest.
ments. organized and controlled by the
unionist party, remarks the London
Chronicle. The unionist leaders and
the unionist ex-chancellor of the ex.
chequer solemnly told the country that
money was safer abroad than at home.
and there is no doubt that the invest
ing classes. which are largely union
list, took their word for it and did in
vest abroad. Believing that Diaz, Ma
dero or Huerta was safer guide than
Campbell-Bannerman, Asquith or
Lloyd George, they neglected every.
thing English and subscribed for any
thing foreign-a policy that they may
bitterly repent today.
The result Of this attitude in Eng
land was great activity in the new
undeveloped countries. In the capital
market. when the tap is working east
ly, some one is sure to be there with
a bucket, and foreign borrowers did
take money from London in bucket
fuls. Exactly how much has been
subscribed In the last few years no
one can say, but the Economist

Once More. farmers. Are you
Burning Dollars?

We positively refuse to stand
by without a protest and see the
thousands of dollars worth of
valuable fertilizers sent up in
smoke from our Southern farms.
This indiscriminate burning OF
corn stalks, grass, straw and
trash every spring is an actual
disgrace-an economic crime tina t
we hope not single one of our
readers is guilty of. Of course,
there may be times when the use
of fire is excusable, but such oc-
casions are very rare.
Where corn stalks, grass and
straw ase burned the losses are
exceedingly great.
What would you want to do to
a man, Mr.. Farmer, who de-
liberately set fire to one of your
outbuildings and burned several
tons of costly fertilizers? Yet
this is exactly what you your
self are doing if you persist in
burning over your fields.
Rich land is the way to big
crops, and when you travel the
fire route you're going\ in exactly
