The look of satisfaction on Caleb -il-lcs's fr.ee Tbrn he tnmr home J..e afttiiiooii alUailed attention al most as soon as the bulky parrel that he carried in his hand. "What on earth have you got now lint you're so tickled over?" de manded his wife. She took the par .el from Caleb's unresisting hands. He watched her with a kind of fas cination while she Impatiently tore off the brown wrapping-paper, and as she brought to view something that looked like an overgrown account hook he found voice to say, "It's only a diary." "A diary!" echoed Mrs. Jenkins. "Just as though you had patience enough to keep a diary! I should Judge by the size of the book that you expected to write In It every day, and live to be a hundred, at that!" Then, as she opened the book, she exclaimed, "Why, It's been used! Somebody has palmed off a second hand diary on to you, Caleb Jen kins!" "Oh, that's why I bought It.' I v anted to see If I couldn't floor Zen 18 Perkins with It once in a while. You see, Zenas has got to be con siderable of a nuisance with that diary of his, that he's kept for a dozen years or more. "He doesn't allow anybody else to know anything. If anybody remarks that this is the warmest October that he ever see, why, Zenas hi ready to prove that the mercury averaged :o run higher in October only two yars ago. "Then he's always wanting to Unow if we remember that It Ib just o many years aso to-day that Joel f ike's barn burned, or that some Miing or other else happened. Only I lie other day I was Baying that Crp'n Baker's third wife hadn't been more'n Blx months when he .r.arrlei his fourth, and Zenas took pic ri?ht up, and got hiB diary, and showed by It that the cap'n had re iru'ned a widower Just eight months and elever days. "You can't bring up a namable thing but Zenas Is waiting to pounce on you with his diary. And I don't believe he's right more'n half the time. I calc'late he doesn't keep the diary along regular, but writes It up at odd Jobs rainy days." "I s'posed Zenes spent his rainy days hanging about the store, like some other folks I know.". "Time and again," continued Ca leb, disregarding his wife's thinly veiled allusion, "I've . thought of keeping one myself; but a diary has to have some age before It's good for much, and Zenas had most too much of a start. "One day, when I had an errand at old Uncle Artemas Baxter's, I found him writing In a big book, and oe remarked that be had kept a diary for thirty odd years, and I thought then that I'd kinder like to get hold of It. Well, when the old gentleman passed away, and I heard that his son-in-law, Seth Strout, was a-dlsposing of the household goods, I ree'lected the diary, and thought I'd see If I couldn't dicker for it. I've just come from Seth's, and there's the book. I'm going to read It all through, and then I'm going to keep It along myself, -and we'll see If Zenas Perkins will be the only au thority on happenings in Pondtown!" "How much did you pay for that book?" asked Mrs. Jenkins. "If you paid for it by weight It must have come to considerable." "Well, I paid three and a half for It. I offered two, and Seth wanted Cve, and finally we split the differ ence." "Three dollars and a half! Well, I never did!" and Mrs. Jenkins re tired to the kitchen, leaving her bus band to the undisturbed perusual of hia dearly bought treasure. When she looked In on him, an hour later, Caleb was still poring over the book, but the exultation had fa led from bis eyes. "Alvlra," he said, mournfully, "I've spent three dollars and a half ircadfully foolish." "I guess that's no Dews, Caleb Jenkins," was the crt reply. ' Now just listen 'o this," said Ca leb, too much absorbed In hia trou n'.c to notice his wife's displeasure. "This Is one day's record: 'October the eighteenth. O, the corruption in hlrh places! O, the wickedness that l-i'.t'lks abroad! We have indeed iiillen upon evil times. I myself am ns prone to evil aa the Bparks to fly .'Pard. Rheumatism about as yes terday.

There is plen ty of the old gentleman's refections snd accounts of hia ailments and what he took for 'em,' but theie'b nothing about the weather, and 1 have not run across a single event yet. "This book Isn't wuth a red cent to me, Alvlra," he continuej, bitter ly. "Of course Seth wouldn't take It back. I believe I'll heave it into the stove." "Oh, no, Caleb, don't do that!" said the good woman, her heart soft ened by her husband's dejection. "I need just such a book. I'm al,vays warning to press leaves aud flowers, you know, and pretty much all of the books In the bouse are full. That diary will be just the thing. I'm proper glad you got It, Caleb." A Proverb.

" I I I mM ,S Elates cmd I Conment "A NATIQNH. OEliJPION" That American Woman Has No Super lor la Abturd. The Idea that the position of Amerl nn wrntpn Is sup. rlnr to that of any ulnar women In the world ts character ized by .Mary Healon Vorse, in "Ap pleton's," as a "national delusion.' She admits that they are t, idoubleUly the "most Indulged aud peu:d women .0 the world," but as for real respect he thinks that the downtrodden tier man hausfrau gets more. "The Oer man husband may seum to us unchtv alrous lu the minor detallB of life. He may talk with brutal disparagement about the female brain, but when ht goes out to amuse himself It doesn't occur u him to go alone. Ho tal with him hia wife and his chlldreu That patnctlc person whose bjsbaun neglects her foi the society or m'n for whom our tears flow so ofteu in this country, la njt found lu Our many." The 'iacon assigned Is that by hei ajillful household management th hausfrau has become a source ui wealth to the country. The part which women play In the natioual life l wuat makes them pre-eminent o: re lattvely unimportant, says the article "The amount of amall courtesy showu them really doesn't make much dil forence. Show me a country where lu women add to the country's wealth b participating in the business ot tl.a country or by tneir thrift and I wti show you a country where the eeotio mlc position ot women Is a lilgiie. one." 'n France, where the woj.iiu is her husband's conrade aui. basin. ;si partner, she jas the most power. "As a c.-ntrast tr this, the America), man stands alone. The wutnen loii. of Lis amily do not help him As la. as Ills business gees, it's qui iinma tenal c hitn whether he ias a wife oi whether 1 e has nut. Our u.en uuv talk as r.'uch a3 they lire iiboui tlie uplift:.. lntiue. ee o a noble wootaii and or lite taiigih.e support that Hit ttioujj.t of her noLillty tiej them. It dues not alter tlie tad tha' the aver age Ajierican man transacts all the business ot hia life wi ho. it evei ..reaming of turnlug to his li.e s pari ner for any coun.-.el in ht matter - and genet ally wUi.o.it her ev-n having any knowledge ol the bubitess In hand." There is comma. 'snip between young gir!s ana n.eu, Mrs. Vorse linds out It ceases Just al the time wh-n the latter begin the real business oi life. For this sta'.e of afiairs she thinks tut wouieu art1 to blame. "When a mau first mairies it is his Instinct to take his wire into partner ship with him. it's natural for a mau to wjnt to talk about that which takes up most oi the hours he is awake to the perse. i ne cnrei for most In the wcrld." But the wife cheeks these advances aceotrilng to her na ture aud disposition. "FiMer she wll: slip her arm through John's and sa coaxlngly: 'Dou't let's talk about hoi rid business, tear; let's talk aboul something nico You ought to resi when you get hme. Or less ajrreit ablu aud more honest, she may admit rankly that business bores her." So the man ac'.ually comes to thlnx that he ought to leave his busines. cares at tbe ottice. He lits "bona snd silent in bis own home," while Di wife complains that he Is "so absorbe In business that he has no Inter -si left for anythtnr else.' "I do ..ot for a moment mean." lb. article concludes, "to bring tbe Intlt. ence tt woman lu uer household dowi to a matter of dollars and centa. but la not prrbable that tbe spiritual bortt between man anc. womu. was evci teas because tbey were helpful part ner to tach other Id ihe affairs everyday life."

From "Lynch'i jiCbier," by Ueunard Merrick, I 4: I Fcrget-Me-Ncts I Ey MISS CLARA DPTON. e niia as MS an m The vast opera house was crowded "' ' Tn-T-oe hnrebre of boxes pre- ii.e.l a teuutiftil picture, .-the daz 7.ling Jewels of the occupants fiash !ng and scintillating In the light, liven the gallery was filled to Its ut r"i!t rapacity with people who hart Fto.id, some for hours, In tbe biting . old honing they might be able to vet a Beat. These were the real i. usic lovers who could not afford buy seats elsewhere. As the time crew near for tbe curtain to rise voices were bushed and the very ail seemed filled with breathless sus pense, for Marguerite was to make her first appearance in America thai nlRht. Many stories had reached New York of her great success In Europe, her wonderful beau.y and s'lll more wonderful voice. At last tt.e curtain slowly rolled upward II ad the people listened with Ill-con cealed impatience to the performance of a noted pianist In conjunction with whom she was giving her con cort. At last he had finished, ant as the orchestra softly began th. prelude of the "Jewel Song" a bust of expectancy settled over the the atre. . Five years before Margaret Gor don bad been the affianced bride oi Philip Temple, a struggling youni artist, aud her cup of happiness a' tlat time bad seemed overflowing How happy they had been, and wba: plans they had made for the future What sums In arithmetic they hai figured out together, mentally buy Ing each piece of furniture for tin tiny house that was to be the rul mi.ia'fon of their dreams w; i Philip's work was recognized. I. t garet. who had a beautiful thousji 11 tit 1 allied voice, was offered a posi tion to sing In a church, and anxiou to earn a little money to add ti Philip's carefuly hoarded store shi eoEerly accepted. But one day ; noted musician heard her sing ant1 recognizing a 'olce of marvello power, uised 1 -to work for some thing hlRher an 1 bitter, and almost before she realized it she was mnk ir.g plans to go broad to Btudy Philip di.l all In his power to changt her determination to do this thini vhleh he Instinctively f it woule come between them, but she was si anxious to help him and argued tlia: U was only for a little while, that bi finally consented to her going. Hh parting gift to her was a bunch ol forget-me-nots, and the sight o' tLese starry little flowrs alway brought back to him the picture of a girl clasping In her ar.ms a buuel of forg3t-me-nots waving to him from the deck ef a fast recetilnr steamer. At first Margaret's letters arrive;: on every boat filled with love em! plans for their House of Dreams Philip on bis part devoted hlmselt assiduously to his work, his on. thought bong of Margaret and theii future together. Little by little, hov. ever, bcr letters, which now cami very Irregular, spoke less of her re turn and more and more of her art To Philip's entreaties that she come home she gave no heed, and whei he wrote releasing her. she seemlns l.v gladly accepted. She often thought of Philip, she had heard Indirectly that he had never married, and sometimes when she thought of thr old days her life seemed a very emp ty thing to her, and art a very In sufficient compensation for the !os of Philip. At last the artiste appeared and aa the glorious voice of the slngei rang through the theatre, a man sit ting In tbe orchestra saw once again the girl with forget-me-nots In hei arms. Aa the singer smilingly scan ned the audience, bowing her ac knowledgments of their applause her glance was caught and held, antl in that brief Instant a great longing came over hef for Life and Love With an almost Imperceptible stan she recovered herself, end the strain; of tbe beautiful old English ballad "Take Me to Your Heart Again,' floated out on the air. The great audience listened spell-bound, for the aoul of the singer shone In her eyes, bu. she eared nothing for the atorm of, applause which rang through the hall, for aha aaw no one and sang for no one, except the one she no knew she had been longing for. At the close of the concert when spray of forget-me-nots, bearing a card "Philip Temnle," was sent to her dressing room, Margaret C: r lor. knew that the world bad heard for the last time "Marguerite, the Queen of Song."

Ha Certainly was a Faat Sprinter, But Ran Into Debt, "I'm the real thing as a runner." said Howard James majestically as he aeated himself at the first home dinner since his return from college. His mother and sister looked at him in sheer admiration. "Yea, mother, I wish you could have been at the nniverslty to see me run. During the football season I ran nway from every one on th team. They were not In It for a minute. In the classes I took the lead leaving them in the lurch. I always stood highest In my lectures. And then when tt camo to selecting a presi dent for the naughty-nine clasa I made the race. Wh.-r, the voting atart ,d I ran sero . but at the last, well, 1 ran ahead of all of the other can didates. There's no doubt about It, I'm a runner. Of course, when the. '.anebtll season opened the crowd vanted me to get on the team. At lirst I hesitated because I realised my superiority, but persuasion suc ceeded. I weut on tbe team and the way I ran bases waa a positive shame. The)- I went Into the track meet. I ran ten yards in ten seconds almost equalling the world's record. Yes, I am a ruuner.
