THE EVENING STORY.
THE BROOCH.
Copyright, 1915, by W. Werner.)

Louise was the wife of Martin. a
clerk In a small furnishing house in a
large city, an honest fellow, kind and
easy going, one of those complacent
chaps who, not being very ambitious,
never seem to get ahead, but, always
plolding along, maintain the same even
way of life. He always had been able
to keep Louise and the children in COM
parative comfort Martin and the chill
dren had seemed content, and If Louise
had not always been satisfied Martin
had not known it.
AS a matter of fact, Louise had not
always been content, although she had
not been brought up with more than
she had had with Martin. Her father
was cobbler. and their home had been
very plain. Her friends had belonged
to the same station in life as she her
self, and her education had been no
more extensive than Martins. Louise.
however. was one of those persons who,
though belonging to the lowly in life,
had the tastes, the instincts and the
aspirations of those more favored She
loved beautiful things, and always had
longed for them.
One day. when Louise was nearly
where she had learned to buy her vege-
tables because they were cheaper than
those in the stores, she saw lying on
the pavement before her something that
glittered. Bent on her errand, she al
most passed it, but she turned anu

Lake Solitude.
BY NIkSAH.

New Jersey has been famous for
many things-its watermelons. its
peach orchards, its bathing beaches.
its mosquitoes and it's President of the
United States-but no one has ever
sung the praises of its scenery. And
this is odd, because there are many
places in its rugged northern hills that
are as beautiful as the Adirondacks or
Catskills.
One of these is little town called
High Bridge. which possesses an arti-
fetal lake of unusual beauty Far up
in the cliffs the Raritan river has been
damned in order to provide water DOW
er for steel plant. The natives have
taken this body of water as their own
and have PANIED it Lake Solitude.
Bordered by majestic pine trees and
straight, tall oaks, which are reflected
in its clear, blue depths. Lake Solitude
is one picturesque monument to the
ugly god of industry.
Standing on its bank at twilight one
is conscious of an eerie sensation. Mot
sound can be heard except the fall
ing waters of the lake tumbling over Il
sixty-foot precipice. The place is SO
wild that one rather looks for the
feathered head of an Indian to appear
above d nearby stump.
short distance from the lake stands
an old stone house, reached by wind
ing road as lovely as any mountain
pass of the Swiss Alps. This old struc-
ture, which was built in 1850, has queer
dormer windows, wide verandas and
overhanging caves. The incline of its
foundation is so precipitous that on
the first floor there are steps between
each room. Here lived the unfortunate
Maj. Andre while on parole. and IL was
he who gave the place the name OF

picked it up. 1t was a brooch-a sun
burst-of diamonds, large and radiant
Louise had no conception of it's value,
but she knew that II was beautiful and
splendid, and she pinned it inside her
shabby coat and went to the market.
That night she showed 1t to Martin,
and they talked about what they
should do with it
The next morning Louise could
hardly wait until she had scanned the
advertisements; and there was lurk-
ing joy in her heart when she found
no one had advertised for the brooch.
The next day, too. the expected ad-
vertisement failed to appear, and the
next day, and the next. A week passed.
No one claimed the pin. and Louise be-
gan to look upon it as her own. Two
weeks passed. then three. and she
stopped looking in the lost column.
One night when Martin came home
Louise said: NO one is going to claim
the pin, Martin. Why may l not wear
ito And. when Martin acouiesced. she
added: But it would not look well on
my old dress. | have nothing that SUITS
it. My old dress is too shabby. Could
l not afford a new one, silk one, Mar
tin? Plain and simple, but silk
And Martin, wanting to please her
consented, ana began to think how he
could save the cost of the dress. Louise
did need new dress.
When the new frock was made Louise
tried the pin on it and was more than
pleased at the result as she stood be-
fore the mirror in her little bedroom
Something, however, was lacking. A
hat. And she went to the closet and

The Largest Boat.

The new dreadnaught. California, tc
be completed in February, will meas
are SAP feet in length, and, for few
months. will be the largest craft in the
world. England is building one 500
feet long, which will probably be
launched next summer.
The California is the first American
naval vessel to be built with it's bow
curved aft below the water. The bows of
the older boats curved forward below
the water, so that they formed rams,
which were formidable weapons They
are obsolete now, because the high
power of the modern naval guns makes
it impossible for war vessels to come
close enough together to ram each
other.
The armature of the California is
thicker than that of any other boat in
the world. She will have a speed of
twenty-one knots an hour and carry
1855 men. The cost of the boat alone
is S7,000,O00. but her equipment of
guns and ammunition will increase the
value to S15,000,000.

Made-in-America Flags.

Contrary to popular opinion, the
American flag has always been largely
a foreign product and the supply OF
flag material has been curtailed by
the European war. Every flag in Off
cial use before this war was manu-
factured from wool bunting imported
from Europe.
The general supply committee OF the
United States Treasury. which is re-
sponsible for the official flag, deter
mined recently that it should be made
in America"
After this year the flags used by
the Treasury Department will be ex
clusively of cotton. The bureau OF
standards has made d test which proved
that the cotton flag was as durable
as wool bunting. and that it made an
even better showing.
The Treasury uses more flags than
any other government department. 1t
controls over 1000 public buildings. $50
life-saving stations, 15 coast guard
stations and, SO public health stations.
Within a few months all of these will
be floating "Old Glory" of a made in
America" brand.

1t did not look well. She must have a
new one. 1t spoiled the effect of the
whole. And she threw it on the bed
in disgust.
That night she said to Martin: II
must have hat, Martin. My old one
spoils my dress, and even the brooch
doesn't look well with it, Could I not
AFFORD new one-Just simple, but a
stylish one-one that goes?"
And Martin duly consented.
Days passed Louise wore the gown
and the hat and the radiant brooch to
the park Sunday afternoon, but she
was not happy. Martin and the chill
dren were with her, and they made her
uncomfortable because they did not look
as well as she. Martin needed new
suit, and the children-did not match
the brooch either. Louise hesitated to
mention the subject to Martin, for she
was afraid that he would not UNDER
stand. but the sight of his and the chill
drens shabbiness SO panied her that at
last she broached the subject
Martin answered that he could not

GAINESVILLE.

BY way of seven well built bridges
which have all repeatedly stood the
test of flood. GAINESVILLE spraws Itself
across the Licking and Muskingum
rivers and into the surrounding country
in way which would have amazed old
Ebenezer Zane, its founder.
Ebenezer and his son-in-law. John
Mclntire, received a grant of land by
act of Congress in 1895 in payment for
some government survey work. They
planned a compact little town in the
triangle between the tyo rivers. Il
grew apace, reaching across the rivers
for more room. From 1872 to 1914 it
was the capital of the state.
Ohio pottery is known throughout
the world, and the best of il comes
from GAINESVILLE. The clay of Zanes
Vile is said to be the finest In the
world. Two kinds of art pottery made
from it have done much to keep Zanes
vile on the map. The output was
worth a million and half dollars last
year. Besides art pottery, terra Gotta.
paving bricks. plain and ornamental
tiles and many other clay products
bear the GAINESVILLE mark of quality.
GAINESVILLE is the birthplace of the
artist Howard Chandler Christy. and the
town gives him an enthusiastic
ception when he returns to spend his
summers on his farm near there.
