MINDING HER BUSINESS.
"Ms and Squire Itagshot liavo been n
tnlklu things ovor, and we'vo conoluded
to go into partnership, said Miss Nnoral
Nuttlnp.
Eh? Wliat?" cried the Widow
Scarsby, hastily adjusting her ear trum
pet, "you n-tliinkia' o' gettin married at
this time o' day I"
Miss Naomi gave a enifl of exceeding
groat derision.
Who spoke o marriairer Not I. nor i
I cuess tho oauire. We're outan our
first childhood, and we ain't got to our
second, I calculate not yet, at any
rate. "
The widow looked disappointed.
"Then what do you mean?" she said.
"Why," continued Naomi. "the squire
he has leased the old farm. I'd got to
let it to somebody. What between the
taxes, the interest, and repairs, it was
too much fora-woman to look arter.
But the cows and the poultry is to re
main, and I'm to run the dairy and ogg
business. Ten per cent commission I'm
to have, and the uso of the old house.
And I've set out a lot of new strawberry
roots, and some of tho olTshoot3 of Hea
ter Brine's sweet smellln' English vio
lets. I'm golu' to earn my liviu' if I bo
a womaul"
VVlels and strawberries! John
hain't no faith in that sort o' thing. "
"It don't matter to me whether he has
or not," curtly answered Mies Nutting'.
A woman never yet made farinin
pay," the widow remarked.
Anyhow I mean to have a try at it.
My expenses won't be muck "
The widow shook her head.
"Bettor give up the notion," said she.
"Not if I know it. I'm pretty certain
I can malce good butter, and I always
took natural to hens and chickens. I
know I can market them strawberrios

ma'am, I don't "
You're runnin a creat risk. " slched
Mrs. Scarsby, in genuine Job's comforter
accent.
There's always the noorhouso left, if
I don't succeed, " sarcastically remarked
Naomi.
And Mrs. Scarsby went awav to tell
her news throughout the whole neigh-
Dornoou.
"Upon my word." said Mrs. Doctor
Plumb, "the woman has pluck! But of
course she won't succeed; women never
da"
I never was so flat in all my life."
said Mrs. Scarsby, "as I was when I
ueerea Naomi say she was going into
partnership with Squire Bagshot. I
supposed, of course she was going to
marry Mm. "
Well, I don't know why she
shouldn't " said Mrs. Plumb. "The

man enough. "

roiits used to Bay your John was
partial to her," shrewdly observed Mrs.
Piurab.
That's all a mistake." said Mrs.
Scarsby.
Then she took herself and her ear
trumpot off to the next house, while
little Ellis Price, Mrs. Plumb's bound
girl, who had been li tening through
the dumb waiter, breathlessly scampered
to the grocery for the ounce of powdered
cinnamon which she had been told half
an hour ago to bring, and there informed
Mrs. Peppersauce, as a profound secret,
that Miss Naomi Nutting and Squire
Bagshot were about to be married,
I don't believe it, . said Mrs. Pepper-
eaiice.
"I heard it with my own ears "said
Ellie, glowing ell over with tho im
portance of her news.
An old maid like that!" said Mrs.
Peppersauce) scornfully.
She ain't 39 yet," said Ellle. "I
heard misses tell Mrs. Scarsby so. "
111 news, tiiey say, spreads fast: so
does good news. Wnich of these heads
Squire Bagshot's engagement comes
under is hard to specify, but certain it is
that the morsel of gossip spread like
wtiiiure through Cherry village.
ile engaged to Naomi Nuttiuct"
said the squire. "Well, it's the first I've
heerd of it, "
"N-oral going to marry that old wid
ower!" said John Soraby. "What non
sense. You told me yourself, mother,
umi sue ueulea it up and down.
Xe." suid Mrs, Scarsby. a little
doubtfully, "but that's what they always
do. It would be a good thing for Naomi
Nutting. "
"I'll never believe it," said Joha
The old love affair between him and
Naomi Nutting was dead and gone lone
ago, but something iu the prevalent at
mosphere seemed to Ian the faint spark
ot Its ashes into new life. John Scarsby
remembered how black and bright her
eyes once were, and what a trim figure
she had. While the squire, meditating
on the perfect, dazzling cleanliness of
Naomi's dairy, and the efficiency witli
which she bad set out the violet roots
and the strawberry creepers, said to him
self I don't know but that I might do
worse. To be sure, ehe'a a poor, soli
tary, friendless creetur, without any
property except that old mortgage rid
den farm. But I can't get no hired girl
short ot 11 a month, and It is sort o'
lonesome settin on the stoop of evenln
all alone. She's been brought up eco
nomical, too, and won't want to spend
more money than she can help. That's
a great thing. "
The f quiro brushed hfa lank hair more
carefully than ever over the glossy dome
ot his bald cranium, and considered
seriously the propriety ot dyeing his
grizzly beard.
"Mother," said John Scarsby, that
day, "it isn't right for you to do all the
housework by yourself. It's too much
for yoa "
"La, John, I do hope you ain't thinkin'
of hiriu' a helpl" exolaimed Mrs.
Scarsby, in dismay. "Of all the shift
loss, idle, wasteful things"
"We've got to dosomethlng, mother,"
said John. "I can't let you work your
self out."
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Reoort-
ARSOLLrTELY PlfRB
It was true, John Soarsby had said the
camo thing time and again to liU mother;
but ho said it now with genuino earnest
ness, looking at her as did so, and se
cretly wondering how ho should break
to her the tidings of nn impending
daughter in law. Aud Naomi Nutting,
ot all persons, the woman whom Mrs.
Scarsby designated as "that poor, for
lorn old mail "
John was a brava man, but there are
more kinds of courage than one.
Mrs. Scarsby cried over the butter
beans she was cutting up for dinner,
"I won't have a help in the house,"
thought she. "If John really wants a
woman around, why can't ho get mar
tied? And I don't know no smarter
girl than Naomi Nutting. I've a great
mind to go and see it alio can't break
that 'ere contract with Squire Bagshot.
I wish I dared to speak right out to John
about it. lie used to like Naomi, but
men are queer. "
Naomi had just come in from weed
ing her late onion patch the next oven
ing, when the squire arrived, nit in his
best
"Good evening, squire," said Mist
Nutting. "Sit down till I light the
lamp. "
"Don't light it," said tho squire sheep
ishly. "I am partial to the twilight."
"I ain't," aald Naomi. "I mostly like
to seo what Tux doing. You've come
about business, I suppose?"
"Ahem yes," admitted the squire.
Although he had told himself all day
long that Naomi Nutting would certainly
jump at his offer, ho could not subdue a
certain nervousness at the last moment.
"Very important business. "
Tat-tat-tat-t-tl came a knock on tho
panels of the lilao shaded front door.
John Scarsby, arriving close on the
heels of tho squire, had perceived tho
necessity ot immediate action.
He was flushed, and breathed hard
with rapid walking, but he had screwed
his courage up.
"Naomi," said he, "can Ispeak toyou
for one minute?"
Naomi, holding the lamp in one hand,
stared hard at him.
"I'm engaged jmt now, " said she.
"Engaged?"
"Squlro Bagshot is hero. "
"I won't keep you long," said John;
"I want only a word. "
"Anything happened?" questioned
Naomi, in a sharp business tone.
"No, but" John drew a quick breath
of vexation and embarrassment "WilJ
you hear me out, Naomi?"
The squire in the front room cleared
hia throat loudly as Naomi conducted
John out into tho back kitchen.
"Now, then, what is it?" she aeked.
Did over lover woo maiden under
such discouraging circumstances?
John fixed his oyes on tho copper
boiler and blurted out hia tender confes
sion almost in a single breath. It was
an awkward proceeding, but it was in
evitable. "Naomi," said he, "I want a wife.
Will you have mo?"
"No, thankee, John, " said Mus Nut
ting, moving away from him.
John stared at her and uttered a gasp.
"What did you say?" stammered ho,
"I said nol"
"Tm too late, am I?" tho poor fellow
asked despairingly.
"Yes, you are. "
" Won' t you think it over ? "
"It wouldn't be no use. "
John went awny completely dum
founded, and Naomi returned to tho
squire.
"What business could that young man
possibly have with you, Naomi?" asked
the squire, a littlo fretfully.
"It was private," said she, composedly,
"Naomi, " said Mr. Bagshot, plunging
headlong into the subject, "I'm thinkin'
of gettin' married. "
"Are you?" somewhat amazed.
, "I am tired of livin' solitary and
alone, and I don't know of no one I like
better than you,"added Squire Bagshot
"Much obliged to you, I'm sure," said
Naomi.
"Do you think you could learn to love
me?" said the squire, his hard face
softening into unwonted tenderness.
"I don't know whether I could or not,
but I don't mean to try, " said Naomi.
"Eh?" jerked out the squire.
"I'm engaged already," explained
Naomi.
"To that shiftless young Scarsby?"
"He isn't particularly shiftless that I
know of. But It Isn't to him, as it hap
pens." "It you are really engaged what on
earth are you running the dairy busi
ness for?" asked the squire, of whose
character dellcaoy was by no means a
prominent trait
"To earn money, to be sure, I am to
marry a rich man, and I don't c;re to
go to him empty handed, or without a
decent wardrobe, such as othor women
have."
"Who is it?" demanded tho squire.
"Well, I don't mind telling you, since
you ask me up and down," replied
Naomi. "The man who owns the New
.Mountain Iron Works Mr. Josoph
Alden. "
The squire made a little gurgling
sound, as it he were ineffectually try
ing to swallow something. Joseph
Alden, the handsome, middle aged
Englishman, the best catch in Cherry
county, engaged to Naomi Nutting,
whom he Squire Bagshot had
mentally characterized as "a poor, soli
tary, friendless creeturt
"Well, I suppose I'd better go," he
said, rising heavily.
"I don't know that you'll gain any
thing by staying," remarked Naomi,
coolly.
The squirii was compelled to hire a
stout Vermo nt woman at $11 a month.
Mrs. Scarsby still continues to do her
own houseu'ork, in spite of the remdn
strances of her son John. Naomi Nut
ting does aii she did before minds her
own business. And the violet and
strawberry business has proved a suc
cess, and t he wedding day is fixed.
A vicious heifer nt Warehouse Point,
Conn., "broke into Joseph Allen's fruit
cellar, where she ate his turnips and
cabbages, causing him a severs loss by
not closing the door behind her when
she retreated, thus leaving the vegeta
bles to frweze." soys a local journal.

"You dear thing! How becoming
that hat Is to you. Never wear a bon

"Did you see Mrs. B. at church to
day?" asked another lady other hut
baud. "Yes, she never misses morning serv
ice," ho replied,
"And did you notice her hat?"
"Why, no. I suppose It is the same
one tho always wears."
"It was a round hat," announced the
lady in much the same tone she would
have used if tho headgear in question
had been a washtub.
"That woman will wear a crown some
day," answered her husband. "Ido not
know her equal in good works."
"I am talking about earthly milllnory

up the discussion again.
Meanwhile Mrs. IS. had returned noma

she handed to her daughter.
"Thank you, Iluby," she said. "I
suppose my bonnet has come back?"
"Yes, dear," answered her daughter;

Tli Hobl Turkey.
The ehronielers and ballad makers
record many anecdotes af tho geniality
and radlnM of adaptation to circum
stances whieh made Henri Quatre so
popular among hk subjects. Not long
before tho great battle of Ivry lis was
lodging in a country house in the
character ot an Inferior officer. The
lady of tlm house was without pro
visions, but informed her guest that a
neighbor of hers rejoiced Iu the posses
sion ot a noblo turkey, which ho would
probably sacrifice as a roast If asked to
assist In demolishing It
"Is he a good comrade!" asked the
0 fllcer.
"Yes, iudeed." said the lady, "In is a
capital fellow."
So the turkey was obtainoJ, and its
owner invited; and the lady and her
two oompanlont dtvoured the plump
and savory bird from the head to the
tall Fast and furious was the fun, the
genial king's jokes being capped by
those of his bourgeois companion, and
digestion was assisted by peals ot merry
laughter. At last the subject intimated
that he had recognized hit sovereign
from tho first and assuredly the
marked features of Henri Quartre,
when onco seen, were not readily for
gottenand expressed a hope that the
king would not object to ennoble the
humble individual who had the good
fortune to share his dinner with his
sovereign. Henri laughed with charac
teristic good humor.
"And what arms will your lordship
bo pleased to assume?"
"I will emblazon the turkey, to which
1 owe so much. "
"By Batnt Orisl" cried Henri; "gentle
man you shall be, as you wbh, and
carry your bird on your thleldl"
And thus, In a good dinner off a
turkey originated the noble hour of

Nothing seems to burn Into the mem
ory and heart of a child, sayt Uarper'i
Bazar, as an undeserved punUhment,
however trifling the matter may seem
to the adult Inflicter. In some children
ot the sunny, hopeful type the wave of
indignation and helpless, unspoken pro
test against unjust correction passes
away and leaves apparenJy no trace.
To other children, with mors sensitive
natures or mora rebellious dispositions,
unjust words of reproof kindle fires of
rage, which smoulder with sullen per
sistence under the ashes of seaming for
gotfulness, ready to burst out violently
and unexpectedly. It this seems an
overdrawn picture one hat only to think
backward to one's own childish days
and to recall the time when oarelees
treatmont by an elder first taught us to
be bitter, unforgiving, resentful
A child's sense ot justice Is as keen as
his heart is tender, and this Is ono of the
qualities most necessary to noble char
acter, a quality that must be blended
with truth and honor and self aacrifios
to give the right balance to dispositions
which would otherwise work harm. A
child's justice Is always tempered with
mercy to thoue he loves, and when in
the home he is justly and tenderly dealt
with he learns little by little that hlghir
sense of justice toward all with whom
becomes in contact When hU awn
small rights are carelessly and oostUiH
ally thrust aside he, too, learns to play
