Br VIVIAN CL.ARE HOWARD.
Thoy were not a romantic looking
couple, both approaching the mark
which tho world iinfcclliiKly calls mid
dle nsre. Hoth were slightly Inclined
to embonpoint.
Thpy were traveling lirtworn Llttlo
Hock and Port Smith. Mm was think
ing busily of tho number of pound of
sugar liocpRHary to n glvon number of
baskets of cIipi'iIps awaiting her house
wifely rare, and lie well, his mind
was concerned with cherries, too, but
they wpre cherries In the blossom, tho
snowy boughs of the trees that hud
shaded a little village lano.
Underneath the houghs stood a girl
and a boy how well ho remembers
the face of the girl, the pink of her
cheeks, the blue in her pyes. the brown
of hpr hair he could feel yet the sting
of that braid of hair as sho switched
It roughly in his face when be tried to
steal a kiss.
lie stole a Ride look nt his wife'
plain, wholesome features, and sighed,
lie even wondered why bis dream of
the cherry tree lane had never Come
true why he had Just then tho
train slowed up at a little side station
and he became nwarn of an unusual
bustle on the platform. Ills wife said,
with some little excitement in her
voice:
"John, I do believe a theatrical
troupe Is getting on here."
John dlmlv remembered that Flora
had always culled him ".lack" as he
answered lazily:
"Well, mv dear what of it? There
Is plenty of room. Isn't there? I don't
see any Immediate need for my being
Interested," and relapsed into the re
gion of past delights again "what a
mischief Flora had been." He was
rudely jolted back to the present again
by a severe pinch from Mrs. John.
"For goodness sake, John, did you
ever seeuch a get-up?"
"Eh what dW you say, Margaret?
Get up where?" and following t lie dl
rpctlon of her eyes he looked down the
aisle.
Ye gods, was he dreaming? It was
Flora, Flora In the flesh; In fact, more
so than when they had last met; not
quite the Flora of the cherry tree, but
unmistakably his early sweetheart
the star of a barnstorming troupe.
8 lie came up the aisle talking loudly
to a dejected looking individual whom
she addressed as "Tommy." Her dress
was brown, and the feather In her hat
a hat too large for travelling waa
green as a Hra.lllan parrot's wing.
The pluk was In lior cheeks as In tho
days of the cherry tree, but It had a
suggestion of prt'inanency unlike the
flitting roses of fifteen years ago. and
her hair surely Flora's was brown,
while the green parrot's wing shaded a
voluminous pompadour of golden yel
low. John was not sure bv this time
whether he was the most afraid she
wouldn't recogni.e him. or most hoped
she wouldn't but it mattered little,
she did.
In a moment she was bearing flown
upon them like a ship of Turshlsh In
full sail and was shaking him warmly
by the baud and talking as only Flora
could do.
"Surely this Is Jack Ronton? I
couldn't be mistaken, though you have
grown a lot stouter since wo met.
Don't you remember Flora Marcey?
If you don't, then a man's memory for
an old sweetheart Is a pretty thin
thing."
' I'oor John could feel Margaret stif
fen at the last sentence, and groaning
In spirit he Introduced his wife to Miss
Marcey whose volubility made up for
any awkwardness that Mrs. Benton's
manner might have caused.
"Jack and I were old sweethearts at
Fort Smith. Lord, what larks we used
to have In the old days after school
and coming home from choir practice.
I never thought of going on the stage
In those days, but talent will not be
suppressed and here I am. It looks
like fate, our meeting like this, doesn't
ur
John shuffled nervously and cursed'
fate Inwardly and presently the chat
ter went ou again.
"Where are you living? Still nt
Fort Smith. Well, I never; our circuit
closed fifteen miles from there and I'm
going to take a holiday. I believe I'll
just drop down on you folks for a
month's change. If the old place Is as
slow as It used to be, it will make an
elegant place to rest."
nenton looked beseechingly at bis
wife, but she appeared oblivious to the
fact that he was still on the face of
the globe. He hesitated a minute ,nd
then, remembering tho boy and girl
friendship he glanced at his wife and
said defiantly :
"We should be awfully pleased to
have you."
And Mrs. Benton astonished hint by
adding with suspicious friendliness:
"Yes, do come; we shall be perfectly
delighted."
With more astuteness than her hus
band would have given her credit for
Mrs. B. had come to the conclusion
' that a dose of an old sweetheart
when she la as Impossible as Flori
is almost as good for a mun as an oc
casional dose of rhubarb.
Flora came John Henton saw but
Mrs. Ronton conquered.
Forth from Flora's voluminous bug
gage came gowns fearfully and won
derfully constructed Ivom materials
which might just have arrived from
an Italian bazaar. The hat with the
green feather was not a circumstance
In the creations which crowned Flora's
yellow pompadour when she. imper
sonated the heroine in some glowing
melodrama and she wore them all at
Fort Smith.
On Sundays Mrs. Iteutou systemati
cally manufactured excuses to remain
way from service, and John, who
liked to see women garbpd as olerly
as (junker, was compelled to slink
down the aisle in the wake of a purplo
gown and a green and purple velvet
Gainsborough lint.
Four weeks went by and still Flora
showed no signs of an early flitting.
Mrs. Ilenton absolutely refused to offer
suggestions, so In a moment of des
peration Ronton bethought himself of
an old-time feud between his mother
nnd Flora, which dated back to his and
Flora's school days. He wired his
mother at once, "Need you here Im
mediately; do not fnll me." and well
did he know that the first nvallable
tialn would bring the faithful soul. At
dinner trnit day he cnsually announced
that ho expeetoil bis mother that night,
or the next morning, at least.
In tho afternoon Flora received a
mysterious message presumably Mnr
ro which demanded her Immediate
presence elsewhere, nnd by ."." the
Ronton household knew her no more.
Tho next morning found John in bed
with n racking nervous lundaclio. .b
Mrs. Ronton waited upon him In her
quiet, restful way bo wondered how hp
could ever have been fool enough to
fancy himself tired of sucli a woman.
Catching her hand ur-.d pressing his
cheek against It boylMily, he said re
pronehfully:
"Margaret, how could you what
made yon act so, and try to keep her?"
With a spice of mischief In her i aim
gray eyeg she smoothed his head and
answered:
"Well, you see, John, dear, I had
noticed in you a growing tendency of
talking In your sleep you seemed to
have restless dreams about a mysteri
ous 'Flora.' who was connected In an
odd way with cherry trees and equally
youthful things. So when I mot Flora,
It occurred to me that at last 1 saw a
way to restore your dreamless sleep
and my own peace of mind, which I
don't mind telling you now was fast
slipping away. I'm a homeopathist,
you know and well, some poisons
arc their own antidotes, when given In
proper quantities. Was I right, John?"
lie kissed her hand and said:
"As you always are, darling; but
don't you think you gave toe an un
necessarily large dose?"
She shook her head laughingly.
"You see, I didn't want to risk a re
petition." The Cost of Census-Taking.
The differences between the cost of
securing the returns from the six sim
ple questions asked in IT'.M), and that
of the extended inquiry made a century
Inter, is lllustrnted by the per capita
cost, which In 17!S) was 1.13 cents, and
In 1 1 w m , ir..,"i cents. In 17'.h Virginia
was the most populous State In the
t'nion. having "IT.tilo Inhabitants. The
records of the Treasury Department
show that at the first census the cost of
making the enumeration lu that State
was $7,,Yi3!Ni. Moreover, at that enu
meration the underpaid assistant mar
shals supplied their own blanks, an
Item which was of considerable Import
anee in t tie days when all paper was
made laboriously by hand. In I'.hmi the
population of Maine about. 7MI,mk
mi:st nearly approximated that of Vir
ginia in 1 Tin i.
At the twelfth census the cost of
actual enumeration in Maine, Includ
ing the pay of supervisors, was ?.'54,
riiO.!M, or more than three-fourth3 of
the amount expended for the enumera
tion of tho entire Fnited States In 171H1,
though the pay of an enumerator in
RHXt did not exceed the wages of an
Intelligent day laborer. From the Cen
tury. Taking Life Seriously.
Taking life too seriously Is said to
be an especially American failing. This
may he true, but, judging from appear
ances, it would seem to be world wide,
for, go where one may, he will find the
proportion of serious, not to sny anxi
ous, faces ten to one as compared with
the merry or happy oues. If "the
outer Is always the form and shadow
of the inner," and if "the present is
the fullness of the past, and the her
ald of the future" (and bow can we
doubt it?), how many sad histories can
bo read In the faces of those we meet
every day, Tbe pity of It Is, too, that
the sadness is a self-woven gurment,
even as Is the Joy with which It might
be replaced. Ituakln sayB, "Girls
should be sunbeams, not only to mem
bers of their own circle, but to every
body with whom they come In contact.
Every room they enter should be
brighter for their present." Why
fhouldn't all of us be sunbeams, boys
as well as girls, all nlong the way
from twenty-live years and under to
eighty-five years and over? April

t'ni-le Hnm Unit Inspectors on Truint

The Federal Government employs
In New York State at least five men
whose duties are to board trains at
Important junction points and
search them for Chinese who may
bo illegally In this country. Ono ol
these men is located In Rlnghatuton,
another lu this city, one In Koch
ester and a couplo In Ftien and Sy
racuse. The work under the direc
tion of tho new Department of Com
merco anil Labor.
While no grent secrecy has been
maintained In their work, there has
been no careless advertising of it,
and, us a result, very few travelers
are uwurc of tho mission of the men
who enter trains and curefully In
spect the uppearauco of all foreign
ers who look us though they may
have romo from China. '
lieelng a Chinamun on board a
train these men first Inquire for his
papers. If tho suspect does not have
them the Inspector may remove him
from the train and place him In the
ncurest Jail subject to tho disposi
tion of tho case before a Unltod
States Commissioner.
If the man convinces tho Inspec
tor that he has a right to be In this
country, that Is the end of it. Now
adays the Chinese have been so
closely watched thut If one pos
sesses the required papers he sel
dom lets them get out of his sight.
The train Inspectors have been
stationed at Important Junction
points with the idea that If any Chi
nese are smuggled across from
Canada nnd escape the officers at
the border, they may bo detained
while trying to reach New York
city. The Inspectors say that the
business of smuggling Chinamen In
to our territory Is Increasing every
year. Once by the officers at the
border, the Immigrants take It easy
and imagine that a successful entry
has been made. But disappoint
ment Is In store for many of them In

and asks to see their papers. N.

TESTING CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES.
Absolutely Fluwless to Withstand
Enormous Pressure.
Tho testing of these bottles Is at
tended to by an expert who, by stri
king two bottles lightly together
with the sides, recognizes by the
sound whether they are perfect or
not. The bottles are purchased In
summer nnd are carefully cleansed
with alcohol, closed with a tempo
rary stopper and put away until
used In March. The stoppers are se
lected from tho best stock and cost
from $16 to $20 a thousand.
When tho bottles are filled they
are placed in cool cellars, stacked In
plies ono on the other from fifteen
to twenty feet in length, and three
and one-half to five feet in heght,
without any shelving. Such a wall
of bottles Is ns strong as iron. Still
any one of them may be pulled out
without Interfering with tho rest,
which Is frequently done to observe
the development of fermentation
The hot season Is dangerous to
champagne on account, of the burst
ing of tho bottles. If tho loss does
not exceed 8 per cent, all Is well
If It rises to 15 per cent, the place
must bo mude cooler, and If It
should reach 20 per cent. nothing re
mains but to open all the bottles.

English Civil Service.
"Once a civil servant, always a
civil servant," appears to be tho
motto of the English Civil Service,
for unless one proves dishonest or
an extraordinary poor workman ho
is retained In service until the age
limit Is reached, and the salary list
Is exchanged for the pension roll.
Unlike the civil service in the
United States, there Is no strong
partisanship; appointees hold their
positions, no matter which party
may bo in power.
The pay Is not largo, oven In 'view
of the small cost of living in Eng
land. Fifteen dollars is about tho
limit of weekly payment in tho Pout
Office Department, though some of
tho executive positions pay us hlg'.i
as J2.000 a year. The Excise De
partment Is a favored branch, tUo
pay starting at $250 u year. This
is raised by a yearly increaso of
$25 until the pay reaches. $400, and
after u year, is jumped to $575.
From there on tho pay Jumps rapid
ly to $1,250 yearly, uud if the offi
cer is fortunate lu at last arriviug at
tho dignity of collector he draws
$4,000 yearly.
Parliamentary clerkships run
from $500 to $2,000 a yeur, and the
Navy Department will run a clerk
up to $3,000 if bo reuches tho im
portance of fleet paymaster.
In splto of tho small salaries tho
places are eagerly sought, since it
means a lifo position, with a pen

GRANGE NEWS.
By J, T. Ailman. Press Correspondent and
Secretary Penn'a Stale Grange.
T II K WAY THHY DO THINGS IV NKW
llAMI'SHIKK.
Ior the first time, a systematic
record of the subordinate grange
lecturer's literary work in New
Hampshire hns been compiled by
State Lecturer Pattce and the re
sult shows that in a single month
1279 people, in 197 different granges
discussed State aid for highways.
During the last quarter, there
were given, in 229 granges, 12S7
selections of vocal and S05 of in
strumental music. 1 86 1 readings,
284 essays, 239 original papers. 221
addresses, 24 dramas, 78 farces, 36
tableaux, 671 questions were dis
cussed by 3377 speakers, consum
ing in the aggregate, 70'. i days of
10 hours each. The attendance
during these programs was 34 535.
The world conference of farmers
now being held in the city of Rome
on the call of the King of Italy will
without doubt result in great good
to the interest of agriculture. The
fact that crowned heads in other
countries as well as tbe highest au
thority in our own land are taking
so much interest in the products of
the sou should awaken the tillers
thereof to a fuller appreciation of
their importance and arouse them
as never before to a determination
to put their business on the same
basis with other interests of the
land.
To all who appreciate this and
are wondering how and where to
take hold we would suggest try the
Grange.
August will again be picnic
month with Penn'a. Patrons and
calls for dates and .speakers have
been received from many places
Only a few assignments have as
yet been made but all will be in a
short time. Most of the vyork this
year will be done by Penn'a
speakers, Hon. N. J. Bachelder,
Ex-Governor of New Hampshire
ana present lecturer ot the Na
tional Grange, -and Hon. G. B.
Horton, Master of the State Grange
of Michigan and prospective Gov
of the State, have been secured for
a few meetings. Among the home
speakers who wyl be heard are
Worthy Mate lecturer, A. M
Cornell, Hon. W. T. Creasy. E. B

A. L. Martin and J. T. Ailman.
In a recent letter Bro. A. W.
Reeves, Worthy Master of Cory
don orange, io. 1205, gives a very
interesting description of a twenty
four mile drive to Sugar Grove to
attend Warren Co. Pomona grange
In that distance he entered the ter
ritory of two granges and passed
through that of four others all
strong granges too. If the organi
zation were as strong all over the
country the farmers would make
their power felt. He says that
over 100 members were present at
the Pomona meeting. Lively dis
cussions, excellent papers, good
music and recitations kept up the
interest throughout. In the even
ing the fifth degree was conferred
on a class of 13.
Light Street Grange, No. 11
Columbia Co., has for many years
been barely able to hold its charter.

happ to report that I have No. 31
on its feet again, after an almost
hopeless struggle for years. We
now have 27 members and 7 candi
dates to be initiated at the next

The Arcanum Trouble-
Are Making a Fight to Ousl the Supreme
Regent. itflay Invoke the Aid of the
Courti.
The Philadelphia members of the
Royal Arcanum who are protesting
against the new rates of life insur
ance have begun a movement to
have Supreme Regent Howard C.
Wiggins and a few of his conferees
ousted. Plans to accomplish this
have almost been completed, and
unless the supreme regent recedes
from Ins position of reiusing to re
consider the objectionable rules,
drastic measures will be taken, it
is asserted, to rid the order of its
executive officer. So determined
are the protesting members not to
allow the new rates to go into effect
October 1st. that steps will betaken
to force the supreme council to
reconvene either by invoking the
aid of the court or by forcing the
grand councils in the various states
to command the supreme body to
reconvene.
The Cosmopolitan.
The most interesting event in the
magazine world for the coming
month is the appearance of the Cos
mopolitan under the new auspices
and in new garb. The famous old
magazine, which was one of the
pioneers of ten-cent periodicals, has
taken on a new lease of life. The
August number is interesting from
cover to cover. Richard Le Gal
lienne has a charming essay on "The
Poetry of a Woman's Smile, lllus
trated with photographs of New
York society women taken in their
merriest mood. Alfred Henry
Lewis begins a serial life of Paul
Jones which promises to be the most
important piece of biography of the
present year. Probably the best
and most thrilling mountain-climb
ing picture? ever taken accompany
an article by George D. Abraham
entitled "Most Daring of All Mouti-
tain-Climbers." Garrett P. Serviss
tells of the work of the Carnegie
Institution's new solar observatory
on Mount Wilson, California. Ada
Patterson describes the adoption of
children in New York City. Am
brose liierre works lus satiric vein
to great advantage in a timely essay,
"The Jury System in Ancient
America" a supposedly historical
document of the year A. v. 3687
Herbert 1). Ward contributes an
article that is bound to create wide
attention throughout the country
It describes in vivid manner the
peonage system which is working
such injustice in the South. The
fiction in this mid-summer issue is
by Francis Lynde,1 Tom Masson,
Max Nordau, Anna Wharton Mor
ris, Herbert Quick and Ambrose
Bierce. Other contributors are El
bert Hubbard, Edwin Markham,
Cyrus Townsend Brady, John B.
Tabb and Alan Dale. The number
is beautifully and abundantly illus
trated. In fact the new Cosmopolitan
bids fair to step at once into the
front ranks of the magazines.
Of Interest to Veterans
Adjutant General Stewart has is
sued a circular informing all honor
ably discharged veterans who have
served in rebel prisons, of the action
ol tbe legislature in providing trans
portation to those who desire to at
tend the monument dedication at
Americus, Ga., probably in Octo
ber. Also providing transporta'

same purpose.
