When I got home that night nfy wife met me at the door with a bright face and told me that she had re ceived a letter from her grandfather stating that her grandmother would leave on the morrow to visit us, and would I mind meeting her at Isworth. I had never met the relative In ques tion, but from my wife's ample dis course I had conceived her to be a little, gracious, old lady, whom any man would be pleased to love as a grandmother. At this period of my married life I had been thoroughly subjugated by my other half, and at once acquiesced In the veiled mandate by expressing great pleasure In leav ing my work for a day to meet the grandmother. "The city editor may not like my asking for a day off, you know," I remarked, even while giving In. "Indeed," she sniffed, "is that ma terial?" "Not a bit," I hastened to answer. "He Is a very Immaterial person." "Then, dear, you go. I have In my letters described you so explicitly that she will be sure to know you. Any way, you will recognize her, for she Is the dearest, sweetest woman" "Old woman," I corrected. "Elderly woman In the world." "How does she look?" I asked, wishing to get a few pointers. "Oh, lovelyl When you see a lit tle mite of a thing with the dearest gray hair and the brightest eyes in the world; a woman that an elderly woman you can feel like giving a good hug, you'll know that's grand ma." "She's sure to come?" "Why, yes, quite sure. If for any reason she cannot, grandpa will tele graph." In the morning I went down and made my peace with the city editor. When I left him he looked extremely doubtful, and he has told me since that from my conversation he bad absorbed the Impression that some relative of mine bad passed away and that I was going to bring the body home. Isworth was a Junction and nothing else. A solitary grocery store and postofflce combined stood a little way from the station, while far and near a dense growth of alders completed the air ot desolation. The down train from Waterville had already pulled In, and on leaving the car I had only to enter the low waiting room to find the object of my Journey. As I opened the door a tall, gaunt woman, dressed In funereal black, arose and accosted me In a deep, hus ky voice. . "Is this James?" "Yes," I answered dreamily. "I am James, and Is this this grand ma?" "Young man. it is." I approached timidly for my wel coming kiss, for my wife had cau tioned me In regard to thla .very mi nutely. Grasping my intentions and decid ing that they were honorable, she raised a heavy black veil and gave me a sort ot perfunctory sort ot a smack. She was fuUy as tall as I, and would weigh, I concluded. Just one hundred and ninety-eight. And this stern Tlsaged woman was the one destined to Inculcate in my being an irrepres sible desire to fold her to my bosom and lavish upon her lips grandftllal kisses I She eyed me sadly for a min ute and then remarked: "I had hoped Eliza's gal had got a better favored man." My countenance must have ex pressed sorrow, for she said: "But you hain't to blame for your looks. I only hope that you are bet ter to her than Henery was." I dropped the black monster sup posed to contain her personal effects and gasped weakly: "Henry!" ', "Yes, Henry. Her first, you know." How we got aboard the home train train I never knew. My wife's first! We had only been married a year, and coming from a distant State I had seen my wife only six months prior to our marriage. It was Impossible that she could have been married be fore meeting me. I had to conclude that I was bringing home a crazy grandmother. "Heuory was a varmint," he re marked, after we had arranged divers parcels, among which I remember was a bird cage. "He was a shiftless provider," she continued. ' "I'll bet he was," I said altogeth er dazed. "Wbon did he die?" "No sich luck. He ain't dead. He's still kitln' 'round th' country srmers." A queer kind of a feeling took me by the throat. I knew that she was crazy, but still my throat felt horri bly. "I brought along Bonw catnip for the cats," she said at last, pointing to a paper bag. "Oh, but you know that we haven't any." "Killed 'em, eh? Jest as well. 1 drowned three 'fore I ketched the cars this mornin'," Oh, my wife! , Even If the "Hen ery" part were a hallucination, to think of the dearest little old lady In tbj world coming in to ses you with the blood of three cats upon her hands, too! "Well, grandn a, you must make us a good, long visit. Grandpa can't see .you again until he comes after you." I had detei-mtued to be Just as cor dial as if she had been the personift 'cation oi daintiness. "You needn't worry on that score. When I packed my traps I told your grandfather that mabbe he'd see me 'fore spring, but most likely he would not." It was sow September. I looked out of the wtadow at the peaceful sons and wished It would rain and be sleety. It seemed as If Nature had no business to be so gay. I re called the first two stanzas ot the "Bainy Day." "Is grandpa well?" She hitched herself Into a more confidential position and said impres sively: "Your grandfather would be toler ably well If he'd let old cider alone. But when a man betwixt and between drinks 'bout two gallons of old elder every day It tends to make him feel outer sorts. I think that's what at tracted Henery to your wife. He thought he could live on Durgln Hill, keep filled with old cider, and have a good time generally. He was work In' there In hayln' when he fust met Eliza's gal. She was up for the sum mer. But when he an' your grand father went off flshln' and fell Into the crick, I put my foot down and he gut. Your wife never said nothln' 'bout him, I take it?" "No," I answered. "Nat'rel, 'nough, too. Let bygones be bygones, sex I.. We've gut to make th' best of the futer. Do you drink?" "Never!" "What church do you attend?" "I I go to the Unlversallst." "The Idee! An' our hull fara'ly in my mind but tha my wife was ttir sweetest little woman in the world, but I wished the had been at home. Of course my grandma was crazy, and yet I felt badly to think of "Henery's kltln' 'round over the country." He ought, even In hallucinations, to be dead. On Inquiring, Mrs.Engels Informed me that my wife had gone to spend the night with our old friends, the Atelys. This was a little too much. Did she fear to fnce me, now that I had learned the truth? A hansom quickly took me to the Atelys', and I brusquely asked for my wife. ' "Why, James, dear, back? Didn't you get my telegram at Isworth?" "I did not," I replied, not noticing her advances to give me a caress. "Why, I wired that grandma was not coming until to-morrow morning, and that you were to stay over and wait for her. But I'll put on my things and come home." Once we were Inside the carriage I asked: "Htw much longer Is this farce to continue? Do you think I am of the same calibre as 'Henery'?" She began to cry softly. "Perhaps you Imagine that the oc cult Influence of Durgln Hill has cap. tlvated me," I suggested. She wm now weeping violently. "Or possibly the fact that grandma has killed three cats this morning ought to squelch me." "Oh, James, you have told me so many times that you never would and I believed you." "Never would what?" "Drink." Visions of grandpa's cider were evidently before her. Perhaps she thought that the most lovable lady In the world had brought me down I Jugful. "And you met htm In haying time,' I remarked. "Oh, dear, oh, dear! I only wist mother or grandmother was here." "Grandma is here," I replied bit terly. "So Is the catnip and the little bird and the saed onions and 0 )d knows what else." "Stop! I will no longer ride in the: same carriage with you! What 8 beast rum can make of a man! Ter rible! terrible!" But we had reached our house now, and she ran ahead oi me up the steps. "Why! this hain't Eliza's gal!" 1 heard our guest cry out. "And this surely Is not grandma!' my wife exclaimed. True Brotherhood. l HE common wealth of humanity It is in the sky and stars. In tha, fields and the brooks, In the heaven reaching biu Mts and the boundless sea. Beauty everywhere, there can be no trust In beauty. Beauty 13 yours and mine and all men's. There can be no corner In the sources of Inspiration. The blossoming of the apple trees all can see it. The singing ot the birds all can hear it. The time was In some parts of the world the time still 13 when thought and thought products were denied to the masses: but in this blessed country of ours thought may come like a full-blown rose flushing every brow. Mental discipline, the books which sum up and record the thought of the past who so poor but the opportunity of schooling awaits him, and the public library opens Its doors for his en trance. The world of thought what so precious! and it belongs to the common wealth of humanity. Still more is love something as universal as human nature itself. One ses It everywhere and feels It everywhere, In the most refined and cultured walks of personal ease and comfort, as truly where poverty shares Its troubles and sorrows nnd struggles along over its ofttlmes stony way. Love, sweet, pure, sincere love It is the greatest thing in the world, ready In some form for the soul that can climb to it and make It Its own. All these things are the supreme and In estimable wealth in the brotherhood ot souls. Not but that money Is necessary, and houses and lands and clothing and food material pleasure, and recreation are necessary. No one should despise these; but the supreme bond in the brotherhood ot souls is the appreciation and love of the ' higher, more lnsplrlss, more beautiful things. Rev. Fred eric A. Hinckley. have ben Baptists for ten gen'ratlons. way, your granaiatner, wnen nes filled to the nozzle with cider, will cuss a Unlversallst on sight. That's his one good point; he don't go back on his religion. An' I tell you, young man, that in the futer you an' Eliza's gal will 'tend out on the Baptists' meetln's." I shuddered as I thought of her declaration to grandpa, "Mebbe you'll see me 'fore spring, an' mebbe you won't." "What do you do' with your even ings?" she asked, adjusting her spec tacles. "Oh, I always stay at home even ings," I replied, glad ot a chance to appear In a favorable light. "We have a quiet game oX euchre, or in vite in some of the neighbors and play wbUt, you know." 'Them's games you play with keerds, eh?" she asked gloomily. I saw my finish as I weakly an swered "yes." "Oh, the sorrer of It! Eliza's gal playln' at keerds! Never in Henery's day did she do that! But Jest wait! We'll see It a little moral Influence can't stop sich didoes Jest as soon as I get settled," and the light et con quest flashed from her cold, gray eyes. With a sigh ot relief I helped her Into a cab when we reached the sta tion, and told the driver my number. To my surprise no bright-eyed wife bounded down the steps to meet us; Instead, the bouse was gloomy and dark. And what's more, when I mounted the stairs I found the door locked; I could appreciate the spirit that prompted my wife o keep the grandmother out, but I thought It was rather bard on the husband. However, I used my latchkey and ushered grandma In. I was pleated to note that the lighting of the gas impressed my relative quite a deo'. "Hain't there no danger ot that bustln'? Hain't kerlslne lie safer?" I quieted her a bit, and then snapped a few parlor matches to com plete the effect. Then I set out to find my wife. She was not In the "Well, who in the name of the Evil One is It?" I muttered to myself. Just then a man stepped up to the door, grinning broadly. "My name's James Whltten, an' I guess my wife's grandmother's here, eh? They told me at the station that she was brought here. I had calkor lated on meetln' her at Isworth, but missed my train," and he laughed a the excellence of the Joke. And t laughed. Never has anything since struck me so dellciously good. The real grandma was all that mj wife bad pictured, and my wife went in person to meet her. She can no longer trust me. My first name li James, and my mother-in-law hap pens to be named Eliza, but none of us ever lived on Durgln Hill, and my wife now feels assured that I never drink. "Henery, the fust," 13, I suppose, still "kltin' 'round the country," but we have never met him, and yet my grandma, dear old lady, often re moves her spoctacles and wipes away the tears as we talk over my wlfe'i first marriage.

The very young cannot see the rea son why sauce for the goose is not always sauce for the gander. They say, other girls and men talk person alities why should not I? With age comes the knowledge that personalities are rarely of moment to any but the talker, but tho girl who has the happy knack of keeping her own affairs to herself while Resum ing, or having, an Interest In the af fairs ot others, is the girl who makee friends. To be a good listener does not simply mean not talking. The deaf mute or the Btuptd could do as well. It means knowing when not to talk. If you want a man who Is fond ot the sound of his own voice to think you the most attractive girl he knows give him the floor and keep alert enough to smile or nod approval. One Is not a good listener who Is content with not bursting Into a con versation or not Interrupting a bore. IMf ousehold Ail ....

New Orleans Tlmes-Uemocnki. Then it is good to annrectate once more that all things were made by Him and that everywhere and always is the Christ, the fulness of Him that filleth all In all. This Christ did not leave the world when He ascended from Olivet. He went only from the sight of those few disciples In order that His might be to millions of believers a wider com ing in the Spirit. "He is exalted at God's right hand," you say. Yes, as suredly a blessed truth, but God's right hand is wherever H1b power is made manifest, and that Is every where. ChrlBt Is here to-day. "I am with you alway." But He added. "Unto the end ot the world," the consummation of the age. For the Christ who was before Abraham, who is here to-uay, is to be here until He has worked out His own purposes. He shall continue to come until the glorious end which even now i He sees is a reality "till every knee 1 shaU bow and every tongue confess 1 Him." There Is no need that we should ! here reaffirm our faith In the per- Bonal, visible return of the Lord, j What most we are concerned with I now Is that we should keep ourselves I in the consciousness that He is In the , midst of the candlesticks, ruling and j guiding history and the progress of I His churches. Fearful souls should j take fresh courage from the thought ! that when men are about the King's ' business and with willing spirits ask His guidance. He does not fall to lead them into all the truth. Yet men must ever also remember that that presence of His is a condi tional presence that they must be about His business. Tho "lo" follows go." Tho promise which we have quoted is not separated by so much as a period from the Great Commission to Christ's disciples to go and make disciples of all nations. Only to those who go is the promise given. No man need be without divine wisdom in the ordering of his affairs, but we like to think that most of our filss'mary societies have with them " is : resence In their deliberations. It was when Moses was seeking lead ership In bringing a nation out of bondage that ho roeeived tho prom ise, "My face shall go with thee;" it is when Christiana aro considering the claims of those who know not our Ixird that they may appreciate tho pledge, "Lo.
