Habit of Juduin0.

The habit of judging is SO nearly in
durable, and it's cure is such an almost
interminable process, that we must
concentrate ourselves for a long while
on keeping it in check, and this check
is to be found in kind interpretations.
We must come to esteem very lightly
our sharp eye for evil, on which per-
haps we once prided ourselves as clev-
erness. We must look at our talent
for analysis of character as a dread
full possibility of huge uncharitable-
ness. We are sure to continue to say
clever things, SO long as we continue
to indulge in this analysis; and clever
things are equally sure to be sharp
and acid. We must grow to some
thing higher and something truer than
auickness in detecting evil.

the cynic.

ert Burr ended, all interest of most
of the relatives present died out. for
he had favored few of them, and those
with no marked liberality. There was
a great confab at the Dalton home
that evening. Alice was an orphan
and lived with the Daltons. The VIM
steds lived only next door, and Mary
and Nettie came over to discuss the
great event of the day and abuse their
dead relative.
"Humph! his old portrait a go to
the barn loft, for all I'll hinder" de-
clared Mary, spitefuIly.
"In loving remembrance" quoted
Nettie, sneeringly. Il hope some one
smashes a stepladder in 1t when they
go to hang it in my room"
'I shall retire my precious legacy
as soon as the decent period of mourn
ing has passed." observed Esther,
icily, as though she were furnishing
the relative who had failed to cater to
her -extravagant tastes.
Alice said nothing. She had always
had a warm spot in her loyal little
heart for Uncle Robert. She was in
a measure dependent upon the Dali
tons, but we'll earned her way. Espe-
cially, since the gift Of the piano she
had been able to pay a fair cash price
for her board, besides helping in many
little household duties which the
naughty Esther disdained.
A month later the really priced por-
trait hung in a cherished way in the
poorest room in the house, which OF
course was the one to which uncom-
planning Alice was assigned. Esther
had placed her legacy in her brothers
neglected den. The Winsted girls
openly boosted that theirs had found
storage in an unoccupied servants
room. Then there came along one
Worth Davenal, and the complexion
of the four young girlish lives was vi
tally affected by the occurrence.
He was a bright, manly young fel-
low. What pleased the Winsted girls
was that he was reputed rich. He
was the favored nephew of a prosper
GUS city stockbroker. Esther set her
cap for him at once. This caused a
bitter break in her relation with Mary
and Nettie, and the harmony of the
little coterie of cousins was broken in
upon.
Esther was pretty, but bold as well.
She simply started out to appropriate
the distinguished visitor to the town
all to herself. Young Davenal was,
however, no more attentive to her
than to the others. Alice greatly adj
mired the manly, f~ree-hearted fellow,
and from the first he seemed to enjoy
her company. Twice, however, once
because of necessary attention to
some pupils, and again when Mrs. Dali
ton fell ill and wished some n to
keep her company, Alice disappointed
Mr.. Davenal in engagements, and this
seemed to nettle him. 1t was possible
that Esther created some false i'm
preston in his mind as to the true
facts of the case. At all events, he
became quite. a regular escort to Es-

, How the Tomato Was Named.

Few persons know the origin of this
common name. 1t originated in TINS
way: The earlier eXperimenters with
the fruit believed that it had a great
effect on the spleen-that is to say, it
made persons liable to c~rossness good
natured-gave them, sc to speak, a
lovely disposition, and for this reason
the plant, was known to the ancient
Spaniards as the love apple. BY the
name of love apple it is still known
in many English-speaking countries.
The word tomato is derived from the
same source, that is to say, from the
original Latin word amo, to love, al
though we use it now as a Spanish
~derivative, tomato being a Spanish eX'

Runnina the GantIet.

The word gauntlet" in ito run the

The gauntelope' is a punishment

Folks Good Opinion.

Few persons do not value the good
opinion of others. Pulling down the
character of someone is not the way
to build up your own; the ruin of an
other does not mean your building up.
There are some who appear to think
another's possessions something taken
from themselves. This is a mistake.
To point out an error in another's
character is not to prove a correspond
ing virtue in ones own. II We decry
another for being miserly, of disagree
able disposition, e~Xtrayagant or stu
pid, and expect the nearer to see the
corresponding virtue in ourselves,
we need to learn that this is not what
the nearer usually sees. Rather he
thinks how unkind such talk is and
attention is called to faiiings in the
speaker which would probably other
wise not have been noticed. Let your
chief aim be to make yourself worthy
of the good opinion Of others. Belt
Ting them is a plain acknowledge
ment of a conscious fault of your own
The way to win the good opinion of
others is to be worthy of it. If you
are you will not need to call attention
to it.-Milwaukee Journal.

GUARDING GOLD ON LINERS
Most Daring of Robbers Would Find
Difficulty in Looting Strong
Rooms of Steamers.

1t would be natural to suppose that
shipments of gold bullion back and
forth across the Atlantic on the big
liners would be attended by consider
able %precaution, but there is probably
no other place in the world where the
transport of great wealth is carried on
with such simplicity.
One Of the great liners has two
strong-rooms, the smaller being in
close proximity to the captains quar-
ters, while the other is next to the
provision department. The small
strong-room has it's walls, floor and
ceiling lined with two-inch steel plate,
and contains nothing in the way OF
furnishing other than shelves. This
has more than once contained enough
over. The locks, which are of the
double variety, are rendered still
more secure by covering the keyholes
with steel hasps, which are themselves
locked in place with massive padlocks,
This strong-room, being located in the
most frequent9d portion of the ship, is
PASSED by PERSONS at all hours of the
lay and night, which, after all, is the
great protection.
The strong-room located near the
provision department is - feet long
by four feet wide, and it often hap
pens that both these rooms are filled
to capacity with gold bullion. On one
occasion the two rooms contained
500, 000,00 in gold bullion, packed in
small kegs bound with steel hoops.

Ter, and the Wiusteds gave up the


Their, and the Winsteds gave up the
contest.
Not so Alice. She felt that she had
stood aside too often to please Esther
and the others. She had time and
again sacrificed her pleasure for their
benefit. She had been more or less a
drudge in their service. Now jeal-
ousy and petty scheming, she was GER
tain, was d%iscrediting her with a man
whose friendship she valued. She
wished to stand well in his eyes. The
opportunity to vindicate herself came
II evening when, at a lawn party,
she found herself alone on a rustic
garden bench with Mr.. Davenal.
She felt it her duty to tell him the
truth regarding the reasons why she
had broken her engagements with
him. She was surprised to see the
deep shadows that crossed his face
as she spoke.
81 was informed wrongly" he said,
his voice unsteady with some deep
emotion suddenly revealed. Il was
piqued at your indifference. land
now it is too late!'
They were interrupted at that mo-
ment. "Too late"-for what? The
words rang in Alice's ears for hours.
Could it be possible that he had cared
for her, that he had been cajoled into
engaging himself to Esther, that now
his eyes were opened to the truth?
Before Alice could fathom {
depths of the complication there came
strange and disturbing ews TIL
rich relative of Worth Davenal had
plunged too deeply in his stock ex-
change sp%eculations, had lost his en-
tire fortune and both he and his pros
pective heirs were beggars.
Then came the climax. Esther
turned against Worth in disdain. One
day he met Alice. He found her the
loyal friend she had proved to be.
She advised him, she encouraged him
when he sought work like the man
he was. Then true love shone forth.
They became engaged. At the end OF
the year, in a modest but happy home
they set up housekeeping amid the
sneers of Alice's three cousins con-
corning those %paupers!"
One day there came to the humble
cottage the executor Of Uncle Rob-
ert's estate.
Mrs. Davenal," he said, pleasantly,
with a glance at the portrait Of her
dead relative occupying a prominent
/ place on the wall and we'll cared for,
81 see you still remember your uncle"
81 shall never forget him." declared
Alice. HE was very good to me, and
l loved him dearly"
you are not like your cousins,
then" said the lawyer. "Those three
other portraits have gone to the rub
bish heap. So have a special mis-
sion in coming here today"
Alice looked inquisitive and her hus-
band interested.
"By a private arrangement made
with myself" explained the lawyer,
81 was to watch the manner in which
his portrait was cherished by his
nieces. To the one who showed a
genuine interest in his gift, | was to
give, at the end of two years, the sum
of 500, 900. That legacy you have
worthily won, and it is now at your
command"
And those ~paupers" were no longer
pitied and looked down upon by the
ill-natured trio. who had lost a for
tune by showing up their real petty
natures in true cOlors.
