WHEN THE WOODS TURN BROWN.
How will it be when the roses fade
Out of the garden and out of the glade?
When the fresh pink bloom of the sweethriar
wild,
That leans from the dell like the cheek of a
child,
Is changed for dry lips on a thorny bush?
Then scarlet and carmine the groves will flush.
How will it be when the autumn flowers.
Wither away from their leafless bowers ;
When the sunflower and starflower and golden-
rod,
Glimmer no more from the frosted sod,
And the hillside nooks are empty and cold ?
Then the forest tops will be gay with gold.
How will it be when the woods turn brown,
Their gold and their crimson all dropped down
And crumbled to dust? Oh, then, as we lay
Our ear to earth’s lips we shall hear her say,
“In the dark I am seeking new gems for my
crown’
We will dream of green leaves when the woods
turn brown. :
—Lucy Larcom.
THE PREDICAMENT OF E. TRUE-
MAN FICKLIN.
E. Trueman Ficklin, the head of the
Weather Burean newly established at By-
zantium, New York, was a very nice
young man. He was not only a young
man with the nicest tastes, but he wasa
very conscientious young man. From his
«earliest youth he had always been con-
'scientious. At school, if he did anything,
‘he always told it. Also if any of the other
boys did anything and said that he did it,
he would insist that he did not, and his
reputation for truthfulness was such that
he was always believed. This, as may be
imagined, did not tend to make him so
popular. Still, he was very well liked,
though his incurable habit of veracity lost
for his side the base hall game of the year
because he insisted on declaring he was
“‘out’’ when the umpire had decided that
he was ‘‘safe’’ at base.
It was with great delight that he found
himself raised to the charge of the Meteor-
ological Station at Byzantinm—in his case
literally a rise in life, for it was to the top
of the very highest office building in the
place. With gayety and confidence he
looked forward to an existence of content-
ment and modest usefulness. Bat this did
not last long. His disenchantment fol-
lowed all too soon. It was a brief period,
in fact, before he discovered the rose leaf
that was finally going to turn—no, crum-
ble—and render his days and nights mis-
erable. For a month he was in bliss.
Then the awakening came. Everything
was as right as his heart could desire ex-
cept his work. This he could not get
right. It was most unaccountable. He
gave the most intent thought and diligent
care to it, but try as he would, by the most
painstaking methods, he could not make his
predictions tally with the actual results.
When he had predicted that it would be
‘Clear, with fresh breezes,’’ the day was
sure to be overcast, with unbroken calm.
If he ventured to declare that ‘‘Unbroken
summer weather will prevail, with north-
erly winds shifting to westerly,2s an actual
fact there would be an April-like succes-
sion of changes, with a southerly wind
changing to easterly. Nor was it any use
if he took refuge in such apparently safe
generalties as “‘Unsettled conditions not
clearly defined. Maybe cool with sinking
thermometer, followed by rising with in-
creasing heat, while there may be heat
with growing coolness. The day may be
fair to rainy or rainy to fair, or possibly
wainy and fair.”” At once the weather
‘would declare itself uncompromisingly as
one thing or the other ; as twelve hours of
saltry hotness or benumbing chilliness ;
as a morning and afternoon of blazing sun-
shine or drenching rain.
There was no escaping it, and Trueman
was appalled. He could only conclude
that it was his fate among meteorologists
to fall upon a particularly baffling and im-
possible kind of climate, though really it
seemed an ordinary enough summer.
He began to be sleepless at night, won-
dering what kind of weather it really was
going to be the next morning, and getting
up from bonr to hour to see how the sky
looked and which way the wind was blow-
ing. He became pale and thin, for the
strain was beginning to tell on him.
Indeed, the sitnation for one of his acutely
conscientious nature was remarkable and
horrible. To be oblized to go on day after
day making statements.that he awoke on
the following morning ouly to see falsified
was something almost beyond endurance.
It was a most: marvelous instance of the
irony of fate, and Trueman suffered in-
tensely under it.
This was the condition of affairs when
one day he was taken to a picnic arranged
by the Byzantinm Dancing club.
‘““That’s rather a pretty girl,”’ he said
condescendingly, after the manner of mas-
culine youth.
“*That,’’ said Watkyns, a friend of his—
a genial young undertaker—in a reveren-
tial tone, ‘‘is Miss Maud Pursley.’’
‘Oh !"” replied Trueman airly. “I
shouldn’t mind being introduced.’
“Mind !’ exclaimed his friend indig-
nantly ; “I should think you wouldn’t
mind. The only question is, will she
“mind baving you? Why, Maud Pursley is
the acknowl belle of the whole set. If
she’d take the trouble, in about sixteen
minutes she’d make you wish you were
_dead and had the money for your
clothes.”
“I think really I should like to know
the young lady,’’ responded Trueman, his
interest in Miss Pursely increased, if any-
thing, by his knowledge of her formidable
nature.
Watkyns approached Miss Pursley, who
was cheerfully eating a ham sandwich, and
spoke a few words to her. Trueman saw
the young lady nod carelessly ; then Wat-
kyns beckoned to him, and Trueman drew
near, with, it must be confessed, his hears
-already beating a little more rapidly.
~ “Miss Pursley,’’ said Watkins, ‘‘I want
#o introduce my friend, Mr. Ficklin.”
He at once tactfully withdrew, leaving
"Trueman, much to his surprise, suddenly
bereft of speech. Maud Parsley looked
him up and down critically.
‘‘Well, Mr. Man ?’’ she briskly said, as
he did not speak.
‘I hope you don’t mind my having
asked to be introduced to you,”’ Trueman
managed to say as length.
*‘I don’t know,” she said with perfeet
frankness. Then she laughed and added,
up her eyes with a sentimental
at ended in a langh ; Time alone
can tell, :
"But now it was all over with Trueman.
He already felt like the dust beneath ber
feet, and gloried in it. :
“I—I'm sure I'd like to please you,”
he murmured dejectedly.
“All right,”’ she said cheerfully. ‘We'll
see about that. Who are you, anyway?"
“*What do you mean ?’’ asked Trueman
rather taken aback by the young lady’s ap-
palling directness.
‘I mean, what are you good for, where
do you come from, and what’s your busi-
ness ?’’ she began.
“I am a meteorologist.’”’ answered True-
man meekly.
““What,’’ cried the girl, drawing slightly
away,’’ while something very like a look
of fright came into her eyes.
“I mean,” he said hurriedly, ‘‘thatI
have charge of the Weather Bureau at By-
zantium.”’
“Oh !”” she exclaimed more reassured.
‘Is that all? You are the man who says
what the weather is going to be ?*’
‘Yes,’ said Trueman sadly.
‘“Well, then,”” Miss Parsely retorted,
‘let me tell you that I think you're pretty
poor at it. Why, only the other day I
read in the newspaper that you said it was
going to be pleasant. I wore a new hat
and it rained cats and dogs, and that was
the end of my hat.”
“I'm very sorry,”’ murmured Trueman
contritely.
‘And a week ago,’’ she went on with
increasing indignation, ‘‘you predicted
there wasn’t going to he any wind. I went
out ever so far on my wheel and there was
a perfect gale coming back. I bad to walk
almost all the way. I was never so tired
in my life.
“You must understand,’’ said Trueman,
“how much I regret anything that causes
you any trouble.”’
‘‘Well,”” she replied more cheerfully,
‘I suppose a man’s got to make mistakes
sometimes. I tell you, though, that you
must be right about the day after to-mor-
row. I'm going on an excursion on the
lake, or least I am going if it is pleasant,
and I want to know particularly what sort
of a day it is going to be.”’
“I’ll be most careful about it,’’ said
Trueman devotedly.
From the moment that Trueman first
spoke to Miss Pursely until he accompani-
ed her to her own door he hardly left her
side. It was he who swung her in the
swing until be cracked several seams; it
was he who later rowed her in a boat on
the river until his hands were blistered ; it
was he who later still reclined on the grass
at her feet in the clear moonlight. There
was no doubt about it that by the time the
baskets were all packed up he was head
over ears in love with Maud Parsley, and
in his mind he had already begun to desig-
nate her, in capital letters, as the ONE
WOMAN.
‘‘Remember,’’ she said asshe stood on the
veranda holding his hand as they said fare-
well ; you've got to be right about the
weather the day after to-morrow, for I
must know.’’
‘‘Surely,’’ he said with all confidence.
‘“‘And you’ll go, too,” she said with
melting sweetness ; “‘if you get an invita-
tion. I'll telephone you to-morrow morn-
ing, and you must be certain about the
kind of day or I'll never speak to you
again.”
Trueman knew that ‘he was walking on
the paving stones as he strode away. But
they did not seem like paving stones.
There was an elasticity that he had never
noticed in any side walk before, and with
every step there was a spring that seemed
to shoot him up in the clouds.
When he awoke the next morning it
appeared to be in a new world of unspeak-
able bliss. As soon as he could gather his
wits together he realized that it was SHE,
and from the first step out of bed until he
seemed to soar up in the elevator to the
top of the office building he thought of
nothing else. ~~ ni ?
It was abont twelve o'clock when Miss
Parsley telephoned.
‘Hello !"’ she said as he listened in rap-
ture. ‘I've got an invitation for you and
you'll come.”’ :
“Of course,” he replied. ‘But I'm
afraid that we can’t expect much in the
way of good weather.”
“Then I'll not go,’’ she said promptly.
“It must be good weather. You must
have it good weather.
‘‘But I don’t make the weatlier,”’ he
pleaded piteously.
*‘Well,”” she said shortly, ‘‘its got to
be good weather. Don’t you want to go
with me? It must be good weather or I'll
never forgive vou. I'm connting on it.
Good-by."’
And he heard an ominous little click
that indicated that she had hung up the re-
ceiver.
Trueman returned to his desk in a state
of great depression. Work it out as he
may he could not make a pleasant day out
of it. The most unfavorable reports came
in from the surrounding country and the
local indications became hourly more
threatening. It was with an. aching heart
‘he prepared his prediction and delivered it
to the newspapers.
Local conditions, though unsettled, still clearly
indicate squally weather, while a well-developed
storm, Central in Mississippi Valley and slowly
moving in this direction, makes heavy rain and
wind certain.
That was the best he could make of it,
and in despair, after holding his report un-
til the last moment, he let it go to the
world. :
The following afternoon was, of course,
one of burning sunshine and came after a
morning of perfect summery blue sky.
Trueman recognized the fact only too well
as he crawled along the street on the way
to see the object of his adoration. Would
she be at bome? It wae with indesorib-
able relief that he heard theannounzement
that Miss Parsley was ‘‘in,’’ though at
once his terror returned with the near pros-
pect of meeting her.
. She kept him waiting for a long time,
then she drifted into the room without any
indications that she saw him—her eyes
fixed on the ceiling.
‘I couldn’ help it,’’ he gasped. ‘‘Every
thing seemed to indicate what I said.”’
I believe that you did it on purpose,”
she replied, looking in any direction hut
that in which he stood. ‘‘See what a day
it is,’’ and she pointed to a window where
the sun was pouring in radiantly. ‘I be-
lieve that you wauted to do something
else.”
*‘I assure you, ’’cried Trueman in agony,
‘that I have thought of nothing but seeing
you—been looking forward to it every mo-
ment since I left youn.’*
‘‘A nice way to show it,’ she pouted.
‘Why, we might he having a splendid
time !”’
*‘I'm not sure,’”’ said Trueman gently,
‘,that it is not better here—alone.’’
In such a fashion he made his peace, and
it was with something of his former feeling
of rapture that he went away. Still there
was one thought that came to harass him.
She had told him that it was her intention,
if the following day were pleasant, to visit
her aged grandmother, who lived in a
Small:place a few miles distant.. She ex-
‘plained that she only went when she felt
sare of good weather. She had asked him
what be bad thought, and he replied,
guardedly, shat he could not tell as yet.
She said she would see in the morning pa-
per. It was a great responsibility and
Trueman felt it.
i
He returned at once to his office and con- |
sulted the auspices vouchsafed by science.
As he read them they all pointed unmis-
takably in one way. There were the
clearest indications that the morrow would
be a particularly fine day. He breathed
again and wrote his forecast joyfully.
All points to continued good weather and there
is no reason to expect change. The day will be
fair, with fresh westerly breezes and slightly in-
creasing heat.
The morning was pleasant enough, but
by noon it was pouring. The rain came
down persistently all of the afternoon.
Without a break it continued till nightfall,
when it let up suddenly. In tle evening,
as early as he thought was prudent, True-
man again sought the Pursley mansion.
‘“Well,”” said Maud Parsley in a stuffy
tone, but with decided asperity. ‘‘I went
because I read what you said. I got very
wet feet and was drenched through. Of
course I’ve an awful cold. Look at me.
Indeed the object of his affections was a
sufficiently pitiable looking object. Her
lovely nose was of the redness of the rose
and her pretty eyes looked as if she had
heen weeping violently, the lids were so
distended, not to say puffy. In truth, be-
tween sneezes, she occasionally wiped
away a tear. Trueman thought that she
had never looked more attractive. He had
reached the stage when ‘a red nose and
weeping eyes were nothing.
“What could I do?” he
‘everything seemed to prove it.’*
‘‘Then,’’ shesaid decidedly, ‘‘I don’t be-
lieve in your old Weather Bureau anyway.
It’s always wrong.’’
“But you will forgive me?’ pleaded
Trueman.
It was then and there that it was set-
tled—though she wished that the engage-
ment should be kept secret for a little time
longer before her father was told. Her
father ! Trueman had never as yet been
obliged to consider this formidable person-
age and at the thought of him he felt a sen-
sation of chilling depression. He had seen
him and the sight was not reassuring. A
large man, with a deep, gruff voice and
an impatient manner. He was a florist—
sending his flowers to the metropolis—and
necessarily a millionaire. He never sold
the smallest spray of the lily of the valley
for less than its weight in gold and at some
periods of the year it might have appeared
that he only parted with ‘‘American
Beauties’’ for their equivalent in dia-
monds.
But in spite of the bliss and rapture in-
cident to the time Trueman cannot be said
to have liad a pleasant life. The weather
proved no less refactory than before. No
matter what he might predict it would not
come true Occasionally he might almost
hit it, or at least come so near to it that
he could make excuses to himself. A
squall of one day might come bursting in
twenty-four hour later with some chance
of being called the same storm. When he
had written. ‘'Cool conditions will be of
short duration, as warm weather will be
felt here by Monday morning,’”’ the ther-
mometer might encourage him by drop-
ping a few points during tie night, but
by noon on Monday it would be surely
groaned ;
‘sailing upward with a strong bull move-
ment. Still, this would not satisfy his
very exacting conscience, and the situation
was trying.
‘Of course I don’t believe a bit,”’ said
Maud to him quite frankly, ‘‘in your silly
old whirligigs and all the other bric-a-
brac you've got up there. But if the Gov-
ernment is willing to pay you for it, why,
we’ll need the money to satisfy papa when
you talk to him.”
That was the pinch and Trueman felt it.
He was no longer alone in the world. He
had another for whom he was responsible.
Without this he assured himself that he
would have resigned long ago and at once
been free from this awful weight of daily
falsity. But without a position how could
he dare to appear before the undoubtedly
exacting parent. And it was necessary
that the interview should take place. Aft
first, being engaged had been enough to
interest Maud, but now she felt that she
could not be pefectly bappy unless ‘‘the
other girls knew about it.”’
It was a chilly autumn evening when,
with Maud sitting on the lower step of the
stair in the hall, Trueman knocked at the
door of the study where the burly florist
was accostumed to withdraw after his din-
ner.
**Want anything of me?’ asked Par-
sley, after Trueman had entered and stood
with beating heart silently contemplating
the other figure looming portentously
through the thick c'gar smoke.
As Trueman only wanted his daughter
be had a natural hesitation about saying
so in this off-hand manner; consequently,
in his embarrassment, he said nothing.
‘Well, what is it?’’ continued the other
impatiently.
‘I hardly know how to begin,” stam-
mered Trueman, ‘‘but the fact is that I’ve
been in love with Maud for a long time,
and I’ve asked her to marry me and she
has said that she would.”
‘Never !”’ thundered her father.
“What!” exclaimed Trueman, com-
pletely taken aback. He had forseen the
difficulties in the way, but he had uever
anticipated a direct refusal.
‘‘Never!"” repeated the other. ‘‘I know
you—and I'm vot going to have her mar-
ried to any such incompetent, lying duam-
my.’’ :
This was plain speaking, and Trueman
would lave beat a retreat if his natural in-
dignation bad not restrained him.
‘*What have you against me, Mr. Pur-
sley 2? he asked with more firmness then
he had ever shown in his life.
‘‘Got against yon !”’ exclaimed the par-
ent. ‘‘Nothing, except that you are not
good for anything, and don’t know any-
thing, and have been ruining we with
those weather predictions of yours. What
happened yesterday ? I read in the morn-
ing paper that mild weather was going to
continue. And what was the result? I
didn’t put any heat in the greenhouses: I
can’t tell you how many plants were de-
stroyed.”’
“It was a mistake,’’ confessed Trueman
wearily. oh
‘‘And it’s only what is happening every
day. All summer, when you said it was
going to be rainy I'd put off having the
plants watered. Then when you said it
was going to be fair I'd have all the men
at it only to have everything drowned out
in an hour. No, sir; if you want Maud,
yon’ve got to do better or I can’t trust her
with you. I tell you, sir, that you’ve got
to be right at least once. Now I don’t
want to be hard on young people and no
one can claim that I'm exacting. You
must be right once, sir, and then perhaps
we’'ll talk about it. Good-evening.’’
Her father turned away in a manner that
clearly left nothing else to be said, and
Trueman, feeling that all appeal would he
useless; reluctantly left the roony. In the
dark ball he felt Maud throw her arms
about his neck. ‘‘I’ve been listening,’ ’she
whispered. “I could not belp it. Oh,
you can do that. You can be right just
once—only a single time. For my sake.”

Death Penalty Restored.
The death penalty for murder bas been
restored in Colorado and Iowa. In both
States the imprisonment-for-life experi-
ment resulted in a largely increased list of
homicides. There are now only four States
in which the death penalty is not inflicted
—Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, and Rhode
Island.

jaundice. I persuaded him to try Electric
Bitters, and he was soon better, but con-
tinued their use until he was wholly cured.
I am sure Electric Bitters saved his life.”

Escape the rigors of another Northern winter
and enjoy the delights of the Southland.
Nowhere can be found a more delightful cli-
mate than in our own Southland. Its Winters are
mild and balmy and in most cases Summer does
not bring with it such extremes of heat as are to
be found elsewhere. In fact, the South is a land
where extremes of climate.are avoided, and con-
sequently, is a healthfnl and altogether desirable
location.
The tide of emigration has turned Southward,
for itis not alone in climate advantages that
this favored land excels, but its resources, ‘the
fertility of its soil and its mineral wealth and its
abundant water power commend it to the thought
ful consideration of any one who seeks a home
where northern thrift and enterprise may carve
out suecess. :
