Marthy Buriss Her Dead and Gres.s
Her Nephew.

Marthy Buries Her Dead and Gree.s
Her Nephew.
TASE did not move or give his GUS
tomary, querulous grunt when Mar
thy nudged him at daylight, one
morning in mid April. Marthy gave an
other poke with her elbow and lay still,
numbed by a sudden dread. She moved
cautiously out Of the bed and half
across the cramped room before she
turned her head toward him. Then she
stood still and looked and looked, her.
hard face growing each moment more
pinched and stony and gray.
Jase had died while the coyotes were
yapping their dawn song up on the rim
of the cove. He lay rigid under the
coarse, gray blanket, the flesh of his
face drawn close to the bones, his
skinny, gray beard tilted upward.
Marthy's jaw set into a harsher out
line than ever. She dressed with slow,
heavy movements and went out and fed
the stock. In stolid calm she did the
milking and turned out the cows into
the pasture. She gathered an apron
full of chips and started a fire, just as
she had done every morning for twenty
nine. years, and she put the coffeepot
on the greasy stove and boiled the brew
of yesterday, which was also her habit.
She sat for some time with her head
leaning upon her grimy hand and stared
unseeingly out upon a peach tree in
full bloom and at pair of busy robins
who had chosen a convenient crotch for
their nest. Finally she rose stiffly, as
If she had grown older within the last
hour, and went outside to the place
where she had been mending the irri-
eating ditch the day before. She knock
ed the wet sand off the shovel she had
left sticking in the soft bank and went
out of the yard and up the slope toward
the rock wall.
On tiny, level place above the main
ditch and just under the wall Marthy
began to dig, setting her broad, fiat foot
uncompromisingly upon the shoulder Of
the shovel and sending it deep into the
yellow soil. She worked slowly and
methodically and steadily, just as she
did everything else. When she had dug
down as deep as she could and still
manage TO climb out and had the hole
wide enough and long enough, she got
awkwardly to the grassy surface and
sat for long while upon a rock. star
ing dumbly at the gaunt brown hills
across the river.
She returned to the cabin 1T last, and,
with the manner of one who breads do
ing what must be done, she went in
where Jase lay stiff and cold under the
blankets.
Early that afternoon Marthy went
staggering up the slope, wheeling Jase's
body before her on the creaky, home
made wheelbarrow. In the same harsh,
primitive manner in which they both
lived Marthy buried her dead. And
though in life she had given him few
words save in command or upbraiding.
with never a hint of love 10 sweeten the
days for either, yet she went whimper-
ing away from that grave. She broke

ANNETTE's DREAM.

at was the night before Christ

had put note by the fireplace for
Santa Claus and hung up her stock
ing, and then had gone off to bed.
"She did not believe she would be
able to sleep at all, for the night be-
fore Christmas was such very excit-
ing night-quite the most exciting In
the whole year. None of the other
three hundred and sixty-four nights
were anything compared to Christmas
eve.
"She stayed very still in bed and
she really did try quite hard to go to
sleep. OF course she would have been
very happy If she had stayed awake
and seen Santa Claus when he ar.
rived.
But when her mother had told her
that Santa Claus was on the lookout
for little open eyes and that he did
not like to be seen while he was do
ing his work. He wanted to hurry
and he wanted too. to surprise the
children when they awoke in the morn
Ing. If they saw everything that was
happening their fun would not be
nearly so great.
$50 Annette really closed her eyes
and yet she felt so very wide awake.
Somehow she just couldn't help 1t. 1t
seemed as though a very long time
went by and at last Annette heard
strange sounds on the roof.
"tAh,' she said to herself delighted
ly, I am sure hear Santa Claus and
the reindeer. 1 am sure he must be
coming down my chimney now
"More sounds on the roof and then
the sounds were heard nearer and
nearer. Now Annettes stocking was

hung in the nursery by the fireplace
and she wondered if she would not be
able to see everything.
"Oh, this was wonderful and she
wondered if she could keep her eyes
close and still see! Yes, she thought
her eyes must be closed. She wasn't
quite sure, but no matter, she was
going to have the most thrilling time.
She was going to watch Santa Claus
at work.
"At last there was a terrific noise
in the chimney and soon she saw
Santa Claus! There he was, just like
his pictures, so wonderfully jolly and
merry and gay! She wasn't in the
least scrap disappointed. No, he was
far more perfect even than his pic
lures. His beard was so white, his
cheeks so red and his eyes so twink
ling.
"And his smile! The most wonder
full smile she had ever seen in all her
life. She wondered if the worst cross

she must keep very quiet!
Santa Claus was talking to him

the Dream King is playing a joke on
me, ehY he chuckled. And the Dream
King said, Never mind, Annette, this
is really Santa Clausr
annette didn't know quite why she
had heard some one telling her such a
thing, when she knew it anyway. AS
if anyone could have mistaken Santa
Claus!
"'But I mustn't let her see what I
am putting ii the stocking-that will
never do said Santa Claus. And she
saw him turn his back and bend over
her stocking and at last hang it up

much like doll poking out of the top.
"'She must have a surprise, Dream
King said Santa Claus.
"'That is all right answered the
Dream King. 4 simply wanted her to
see you In her dream. And her dream
is really true because you are here,
and she is seeing a perfect picture
of you. That's my magic camera that
does that. I'm taking pictures of you
every minute and they pass before
Annette's eyes. You did not want me
to take a picture of you as you filled
the stocking, so took your back and
she saw a picture of your red coat
and Of you bending over the stocking
"'Ha, ha,' laughed Santa Claus.
You're a pretty smart old fellow,
Dream King. So now the little girl is
seeing me through your dream pic
lures, and your pictures are Just as
clear and true as can be, ell Dream

"'They are perfect said the Dream
King.
"'Good,' said Santa Claus. But

taken here tonight as I've too much
to do But how delighted Annette
was to have had such perfect dream

UNITY IN FILIPINO TRIBES
Recent "Maulud" Held in Department
Of Mindanao and SuIu Was Evil
dence of Existing Harmony.

Commenting on the prevalent belief
ization of the different sections and a
roofing out of sectional and tribal feel
ing, the Philippine Review says edi-
torially:
while as matter of fact we have
to acknowledge that sectional feeling
seemingly exists in the islands, its ex-
istence is not of basic character. For
the elements Of unity ere in actual ex-
istence, and sectional feeling will only
seemingly last while no actual inter-
course between the sectional groups
Of the islands takes place. 1t is, there
fore, but a matter of common educa-
ton or educational intercourse, not
real lack of spirit of nationality; and
with the present government efforts to
provide the people with good popular
education, this so-called lack of ma
tiOnal spirit will shortly be overcome"
Perhaps no better evidence of the
harmony existing among different
tribes and factions could be offered
the Skeptic than the recent "Maulud"
held in the department of Mindanao
and Sulu. The Maulud corresponds
TO the Christian Christmas, being the
celebration of the birth of MOhammed.
1t consists In ceremonies lasting two
days during which there is much feast
ing and chanting by "imams' (priests)
and lady singers
The last Maulud was celebrated at
the residence of the governor of Sulu.
All the chiefs and every other Mo-
hammedan of prominence. 100 imams,
80 lady singers, 5000 Mohammedans,
the government officials. and all the
civilians of any distinction attended
the monster feast. Mohammedans and
Christians, Americans and Filipinos,
dressed in beautiful Moro costumes,
forgot their religious, social and POI
litical differences, and threw them
selves heart and soul into the cele-
bration of this greatest of Mohamme-
dan f1estas. No one could have wit
messed the scene without being con-
vinced of the oneness of the Moham-
median and Christian Filipinos, and
the hearty good feeling between Amer.
leans and Filipinos.

ELBA'S VALUABLE IRON MINES
Found Here, Although in Small
Quantities.

"It must be admitted that the Eng
marked Napoleon as he surveyed his
kingdom of Elba from the top of its
highest peak. Yet man more modest
than the great Corsican might have
been well content with this fair and
rich little island, to say nothing of the
title of king.
Elba today has come into a new i'm
pOrtance, owing to the war stimulated
values of its iron mines. Some of the
purest iron ore in the world is found
here in beautiful crystals, although
the quantity is not great enough TO be
of any wide significance.
The little isle includes all manner of
little industries in it's 10 by II mile
confines. On the lower slopes there
are fertile little valleys, and along the
beach tiny fishing industry manages
to thrive. Besides the iron mines
there are famous stone quarries, and
the scenery is rugged and imposing on
a miniature scale. Had Napoleon been
a philosopher he might well have
found contentment here.
But Napoleon was general and a
builder instead of settling down to en-
joy what the gods had left him, he in
stituted all manner of projects for de-
velopment in his tiny kingdom, and
even conducted from here his least
known campaign. Across the blue wa
tiers to the south of Elba is visible
the smaller island of Pianosa, low and
fertile. Pianosa was deserted in those
times on account of the depredations
of Mediterranean pirates. Napoleon
directed an expedition of 40 men
against the corsairs with the object of
adding Pianosa to his kingdom. He
probably would have led the pirates
hard life had not the opportunity for
escape presented itself that led to
France and Waterloo.

A Cad6Y Story.

The gentleman was learning to play
golf and it had been too much for the
composure of his caddy. The caddy
had made valiant efforts at first, but
by the third hole he was helpless with
mirth. The gentleman fixed him with
a cold eve and said:

solitary alone with him. Awkward,
she dug that grave her ownself and
took him up and buried him! And,
Ward, she-she wheeled him up in the
-wheelbarrow She had to, of course.
She couldn't carry him. But isn't it
awful~ Her hands were up, patting
and smoothing the neck of his horse,
and her face was bent to hide the tears
that stood in her eyes and the culver
of her mouth.
Several minutes they stood there
talking, while Billy Louise patted the
horse absently, and Ward looked down
at her and did not miss one little light
or shadow in her face.

She was trying, as the young will al
ways try, to solve the riddle of life. and
she was bafied and unhappy because
she could not find any answer at all
that pleased both her ideals and her
reason. And then she heard a mans
voice lifted up in riotous song and she
turned her head toward the opening of
the gorge and listened, her eyes bright
ening while she waited.
Ward came into sight through the lit
tie meadow, riding slowly, with both
hands clasped over tie horn OF the sad
die, his hat tilted back on his head and
b /; whole attitude one of absolute con-
tent with life. He saw Billy Louise
almost as soon as she glimpsed him,
and she had been watching that bit OF
road quite closely He Tipped the reins
to one side and turned from the trail to
ride straight up the slope to where she
was.
Billy Louise, with a self reproachful
glance at the grave, ran down the slope
to meet him-an unexpected welcome,
which made Wards heart leap in his
chest.
"Oh, Ward, for heavens sake, don't
be singing that come-an-ye at the top
of your voice, like that. Don't YOU
Now l was given to understand that
you liked that same come-all-ye Have
you been educating your musical taste

Ward stopped his horse before her and
with his hands still clasped over the
saddle horn looked down at her with
that hidden smile-and something else.
No, l haven't. / don't have to edu-
cate myself to the point where know
the Chisholm Trail isn't a proper kind
Of funeral hymn, Ward Warren" Billy
Louise glanced over her shoulder and
lowered her voice instinctively, as we
all do when death has come close and
stopped. "Jase died last night; that's

pitiful? Poor old Marthy was here ali

Sidelong glance which he was least
prepared to Withstand, though, In JUS
tice TO Billy Louise, she was absolute
ly unconscious OF its general effective
ness and twisted her lips whimsically.
