" Xo one to take care of us," echoctl

SOMERSET, PA
There was no lack of talk and gossip in
tlie neighborhood when Michael Hare
wood left his brother's house and set np
housekeeping for himself in a little un
occupied cabin just on the verge of the
woods, with the Hale children as pro
toges and companions.
Michael Harewood was an artist by
profeion one of th.we erratic, irregular
geniuses who seldom make much
money, yet possess natures of genuine
gold. He mid little attention to the buzz
of the neighbors, the sar vastus of his sis-ter-iu-Iaw,
and the criticisms of the world
in general, but painted serenely on, dis
posing of his pictures at ludicrously low
prices as last as they w ere laid off his
easel.
" For it isn't as if I could wait a
good chant," said he. "They must sell
at any figure ; the little people can't
starve."
sk) the three led a strange, eccentric life.
Little Becky swept and dusted. Billy
brought water, weeded the onion beds
and made himself generally useful, and
Michael Harewood did all the rest. When
there chanced to be meat enough for
three he ate and was thankful. When
there was not he made a meal off vege
tables and told the children it was for his
health's sake.
"lon't you love Uncle Michael, Becky,"
said the little boy one niirht w hen Mi
chael had tucked them safelv in bed and
heard their simple prayers.
" Yes," said Becky, rearing up in her
little iwtch work -covered nest. And
when I grow up I mean to marry him."
Michael Harewood, smoking his pipe
under the window lielow, heard the lit
tle voices, and his heart grew soft w ithin
him.
"God bless the little ones!" lie mur
mured. "And iod bless Kate wherever
she may lie 1"
Kate was nearer than he thought
" Have yer heard the nes?" said the
widow Castleberry to Mrs. Harewood.
" Kate Hale's come back.
" Humph !" was Mrs. Harewood's com
ment, "A bad pennv always returns.
Who does she suppose is going to run af
ter her now ?"
" Ah, but," said Widow Castlelierry,
wagging her head, " Yon didn't hear me
through. She's a w idow, and she's rich
as Cru-sus." t
" Xo !" said Mrs. Harewood. "It ain't
possible."
" But is is, though," said the widow.
" Wears diamonds as big as dew-dmps,
and a black siik dress as will stand alone
for richness, and has her maid as genteel
as the Queen of the Cannibal Islands."
"Ah, dear, dear!" said Mrs. Harewood.
Wonders will never cease. Them chil
dren will be brought up like a prince and
princess, now, I suppose. I 'most wish
I'd taken thetu myself, as Michael want
ed me to do."
For once the tongue of rumor was cor
rect. Kate Hale, now .Mrs. Alden Aruiit
age, liad been, in very truth, left a weal
thy widow, and she had returned to her
native land to adopt her brother's or
phaned children. Kate had been pretty
as a girl as a woman, set off by the ac
cewions of wealth, she was royally beau
tiful. Xor was she devoid of feeling.
When she first came into the presence of
the artist whose magnanimity had saved
her brother's children from the j.oor
house, she knelt dow n and kissed his
brown hands with tears.
" Kate ! Kate !" he cried, recoiling,
" What are you doing ?"
" I can't help it," soblied Kate. " You
are so kind, so noble. What would my
poor little ones have done but for you?
And when I reme'iilier bow I treated
you"
" We wou't recall that, Kate," said the
artist, quietly. " But I have grown to
love the little ones dearly. I do not
wish to part with them, although I feel
that yon have the btt right to them."
He was standing with one hand on
Becky's golden head, The child glanced
eagerly from one to the other.
" Couldn't Aunt Kate come and live
with us, I'ncle Michael?" said she, with
a sudden brightening uu of every feature.
The eyes of the elders met Michael's
sad and kindly Kate's full of sudder.
tears.
" Ah, my child," said the former, " I
asked her that iptestion once, a long
w hile ago and she said, Xo !"
" But if you were to ask me again, I
should answeryou very differently," cried
out Kate.
her hands.
" I bhall never ask it again," said Mi
chael Harewood, gravely.
"Then I will," said Mrs. Ar.uituge, gt
ing up to him and putting her hands in
his. "lear Michael, I have h-arned now
the prioelesw value ot w hat I once reject

, WEDNESDAY,
JONES LIFE INSURANCE.
When the life insurance agent corner
ed Jones out in the corn-field the other
day and persuaded him that a $-,(XN) pol
icy was just what he needed in order that
his friends might reverence his memory,
there was not a man in tlie state who
was on better terms with the world in
general than was Simon Jones.
But the agent had not been gone an
hour before everything seemed changed.
Xot that any of his friends or family
had ever intimated that a sum of that
kind would help assuage their poignant
grief when be should have shuttled off
tii is mortal coil, yet Jones could not ban
ish the growing idea th.it it would be a
fine thing to have five thousand dollars
in clean cash. He had taken out the pol
icy in his wife's favor, of course, for he
would have told you an hour ago that
such women as .Sally Jones were mighty
scarce. But not it seemed to him all at
once that it would be rather unfair for
Sally to be covortin' 'round with all that
money while he mouldered away quite
forgotten by them all. To lie sure he was
strong and healthy not a better man in
the county, 'twas said but, then, Sally
was strong too ; she would be sure to out
live him sure to get that five thousand
dollars and be a dashing yonng widow
like Simon has seen and always detested.
Sally was not very stylish or dashing
at present, certainly. Pinion could see
her from where he was at work, hanging
out the weekly wash, with a screaming
baby uniler one arm. But, then, who
knew how much style -Sally might devel
op if invested with such a magniliceut
sum as five thousand dollars?
He unhitched bis horses, and drove
slowly to the house, with a growing con
viction that he was not long for this
world. His solemn face at dinner called
forth remarks from the kind hearted Sal
ly, and then it came out about the policy
Simon had taken that morning. Sally
was delighted. " Five thousand dollars,"
she said, smiling into Simon's gloomy
face. " Tliat would be a nice sum for
me and the children in case you should
be taken away ; nothing like providing
for a rainy day."
" You wouldn't git it unless I died,"
snapped the irritated Simon.
" 'Course not, which I hope won't be
for a long time yet," replied Sally; " but
still it's a good thing. Xow, there was
Lee Buxnes, who died, an' his insurance
was two thousand, an' whatever Mary
would a-done without that money is
more
" If you think I'm such a weak shake
down as fee Barnes, you're greatly mis
taken," interrupted Simon, angrily. "He
never was no 'count, an' his wife was a
Uantin' "round tryin' to git married again
'fore he'd been dead six months! Inn't
hold np theiu Barnes for no pattern to
me! " j
Sally was astonished at this outburst
from the generally good-natured Simon.
" I never said you was like Lee Barnes"
slie retorted, " I said he left his wife two
tliousaud dollars insurance when he died
and he did, too."
" Well, who cares if he did ? " cried Si
mon, angrily, rising and leaving the
kitchen in a huff. He was convinced at
once that Sally would much prefer that
five thousand dollars to him, alive.
" That's tlie way with women," he
muttered. " All thoy think of is money ;
and I've always been a good husband.
Xolssly can't say I haven't."
The fat that neither Sally nor any one
else had ever disputed the fact did not
occur to the misguided Simon, who went
alsiut his work nxsidy and silent, his
mind filled with bitterness toward every
one.
aJlv marveled some over Miuonsj
queer behavior, but finally concluded
something had worried him, the horses
may be, one of them was rather inclined
to balk, he would be all right by supper
time.
But supper time brought no cliange,
nor the next day, nor the next, and Sal
ly's questions only seemed to anger him.
"Are you sick, Simon ? " she inquired,
tenderly ; " or have you heard Irnd news ?
Simethin's botheriu' you ; what is it?"
" I tell you there ain't nothin' the mat
ter," replied Simon, sullenly, sitting down
in a chair in which some of the children
had just upset a cup of water. He spring
to his feet so suddenly that Sally under
standing the cause, laughed long and
loud.
At another time Simon would have
joined in this harmless niMh, but now,
considering himself in the light of a mar
tyr, he only gaited eontemptuouslyiipon
the irreverent Silly, who still giggled be
hind her gingham apronJ
" ( h ! you can laugh," he sneered ;
" yon've nothin' to trouble yon and when
I'm gone you're sfe."
" Where you goin', Sim?" cried Sally,
eagerly, forgetting her laughter and fail
ing to see the significance of this cutting
remark. That Simon standing there be
fore her was seriously ta'king of dying
never occurred to her. " Where you go- !
in', Simon?" she reiterated. " Vause if
yt n're aoin' down to Snyder's, I promis
ed Maria some of them crooked-necked
sqnashes out in the lot, an' yon can take
'em over it "
Simon waited to. hear no more, but
flung himself off, muttering " Hang the
women, anyhow ; none of em got a bit of
sense."
So for more than a week things went
on in this cross-grained way. Xothing
pleased Simon any more, his appetite
failed, and he scowled so continually that
it seemed doubtful if his fiice ever would
straighten out again. His one thought
was of that five-thousund-dollar policy
and the pleasure it would bring to others
when he could take no part in it.
Sally at fast began to see the reason of
Simon's strange mood, but she wisely
kept her own counsel. A plan formed
itself in her mind, however a plan over
which site often smiled when about her
work. Xow the policy had not arrived
yet, but would in a few days.
Accordingly, one morning as Sally was
busy churning on theiorch while Simon
sat whittling in dejected silence beside
her, a buggy stopped at the gate, and
from it alighted a spruce young man
whom Simon instantly recognized as the
insurance agent. He eame briskly np to
the porch.
"Good morning, Mr. Jones! Fine
morning, this ; I have brought you your
policy ; it is all complete with this ex
ception, aa it ia in favor of your wife,
here," bowing to Mrs. Jones, who had
stopped churning, " it will be necessn ry
AUGUST 24, 1887.
for her to sign it (here producing pen and
ink). " Will you, my good woman, be so
kind aa to affix your name ? "
Xow Sally resented being called " my
good woman " in that manner, she hated
agents generally and this one in particn
lar, for hadn't Simon acted like all pos
sessed ever since he came bothering
round. Here was the oppotunity she
craved.
Taking the policy which the agent
extended, she unfolded and glanced at
its contents.
" So this is my husband's life insur
ance ? "
" Yes ma'am."
" A nd it's for five thousand dollars, ain't
it?"
" Yes, ma'am."
" In my favor?"
" Yes in your favor, certainly," replied
the agent. " Xow you see "
"Xever mind, sir," interrupted the
irate Sally, " I want to tell you tliat I
don t want no five-thousand dollars, when
Simon dies, nor I don't want no insurance
policy either. Simon has acted like a
fisil ever since he took out this tarnel old
thing ; thinks I want him to die so I can
have all that money to have a fine time
with. I don't believe I'd ever get five
cents, anyhow them insurance compan
ies always busts fore a man dies ; anyhow
I wouldn't live with Simon another week
if he kept this. You understand, sir, I
don't want no policy, nor Simon don't
neither."
And with a dexterous twist Sally tore
up the offending iaper and toswed the
pitKvs into the yard.
" But uiadam, let me tell you let me j
explain ; surely there is some mistake," j
liegan the chagrined agent, but Sally cut
him short.
" I know there's been a mistake," she
said, "and I've rectified it look out, sir,
this cream may splatter your clothes" as
the dasher flew with renewed f igor.
The agent turned to Simon, w ho had j enjoy the cool, invigorating air that rush- j of this point hejr-l.itel the f 1 lowing in
been a silent spectator of this scene, i es np the pipe. One of the strangest cident :
ir, win you permit mis ; is it to be as
your wife says?
Siuiou smiled in a sickly fashion, and
taking out his wallet extracted therefrom
a five dollar bill and handing it to the
agent said: "Take this, sir, for your
trouble, but as for the policy, I guess we'll
let it be as wife says."
The agent took the money and his de
parture at once. After a moment's silence
he turned to his wife and in a subdued
voice asked :
"Hadn't I better finish that ehnrnin',
Sally?"-
" I don't care if you do," mid Sally.
Fighting Fish.
The male stickleback is a prodigious
warrior, and when he meets a rival of his
own kind he engages withjiim at once in
deadly warfare. Their battles, says Mr.
Darwia are at titties tlesperaUt,.for these
puny combatants fasten tight on each
other fw several seconds, tumbling over
and over ag lin, until their strength ap
pears utterly exhausted. Bold and pug
nacious as they are, however, it is only
my lords who thus fiercely contend with
one another. Their demure little mates
remain always perfcctlly paciffc, gentle, 1
and even tempered. With the rough- j
tailed stickleliack, the males while fight- j
ing swim round one another, biting and j

luring the moment of battle, and just be- j
fore and after it, that the colors of all
fighting animals liecouie invariably most
intense. The reason is plain : battle is
joined just before the mating season, and
" before the face of maidens and dames ;"
anl, as in human tournaments, the ladies
stand by to applaud the conquerors and
to reward their progess. They are them- I ical ones, havse shown that as to preval

vigor and the highest excitement bring
out the greatest beauty of both men anil
animals. The angrier you make a man
drill the more vividly tinted are his
cheeks and calosities. The frilled lizards
and flying dragons glow with all the j
lvrightest colors of the rainbow when you '
tease or annoy them. The tnrkey pock
swells his crimson wattles and spreads
his rnfiled feathers to the utmost at sight
of a rival or mischievous boy. There is
a little hot-tempered fish known as Brlta
pnipuuc and kept as a sort of domestic
pet by the Siamese vmtich as the CliLstian

for the edification o the Mongolian in
telligence. " When in a stiUe of quiet,"
says Cantor. " its dull colors present noth

together, or if one sees its own image in a
looking glass the little creature becomes
suddenly excited, the raised fins and the
whole body shine with metallic colors of
dazzling beauty, while the projected gill

this state it makes repeated ilarts at ib

es, as the Siamese call them, are kept in
globes like gold fish and fed from time to
time with the larvar of mosquitoes. The
Siamese are as wild after their fish tights
as the Malays are for cockfighting, and
'often stake large sums, or even the free
dom of themselves and their families, on
the prowess and skill of a particular betta.

Striking Fact in Havana.
A most noticeable thing in Havana is
the universal and almost constant use of
tobaixo. Americans have made some
progress in the weed, bat they are mere
novices compared with the people of
Cuba. Except the churches, no places
are sacred from the use of tobacco. The
Cuban smokes as he drives yoa to your
hotel ; the landlord as he shows you to
yonr room ; the waiter in the interval
between the courses ; the banker as he
cashes your draft ; the physician as he
times your pulse ; the priest the moment
he leaves the altar ; the sexton as be digs
the pave ; the undertaker as he drives
tlie hearse to the funeral. Ordinarily
the corpse does not smoke.

qiuinted with it ever since it was aban-

by have Uen in the habit of going and
sitting about the well in summer time to
1 things is the fact that the current of air
ebbs and flows like ocean tides. From

with a sound that resembles the noise
made by a locomotive blowing off steam

which lasts for the next twelve honrs,
this ebb and tl iw continuing day after

men that whenever they get in the

off if the horse's mane is touched.

American .lesert. Itiey are a pecuiiar
species of plant, called the compass plant
tht pilot weed or polar plant, and have
been known for gener.it ions to the West-
em hunter, although the scientific world
has known them but a short time. The
edges of its leaves are said to be always
pointed due Xorth and South. An au
thority states: "Repeated oWrvations
upon the prairies, with measurements by
the compass of the directions assumed by
hundreds of leaves, especially of the rad
tain foundation in the fact."
Captain Mayne Iteid mentions it in
one of his books as follows: " We had a
guide to our direction unerring as the
magnetic needle. We were traversing
the region of the polar plant, the planes
of whose leaves at almost every step
pointed out our meridian. It grew upon
our truck, and was crushed under the
hoofs of our horses as we rode onward."
The traveler Burton also refers to it :
" While in the damper ground appeared
the polar plant, that prairie compass to
plane of w hose leaf ever turns toward the
magnetic meridian." Another writer
says: "Fortunately none goes to the
prairies for tlie first time without being
shown, in case of misha, tlie groups of
compass weed which abound all overt io
plains, and the broad flat leaves of which
jsiint due north and south with an ac
curacy as unvarying as that of the mag
netic needle itself."

" I dug a well about forty feet deep the
first season I was there and put down a
wooden pump. It happened it was made
out of a small cotton wood log which was
a little green, and the soil at the bottom
of that well, forty feet from the surface,

have sufficient philosophy left to apply
myself to the feiling of pine trees with
the same zest as that with which I lor

The old man would not allow my friend

How many others are there like tin

1 Could Hold up Their Heads.
j TLere was an
i tut. seaside plao
odd incident at one of
s hist week. A couple
of Utdics, who do not live in Cmton, and
I whose unpretentious nay of life hud per
! haps led them to f. ar that they might lie
j ltsik.il down upon by liostoti people, had
Liken bounl at a hot.-1 much patronised
; by Bostoni.-ins of an excellent sort. W uik-
ing alsmt the corridor of the house on
the tir-4 evening after tin ir arrival, and
j observing with an interest natural in all
! newcomers the people about them, they
happened to observe two ladies standing
in the corridor not faraway. It struck
the yonnger of the newcomers, who is a
little short-sighted, that these two ladies
whom they saw in the corridor were
quite shabby in appearance. She Jurmsl
to her companion and whisper.! :
"Well, I guess we can hold tip our
heads with this kind of people."
The eider wized her handken-heif in a
j vain attempt to smother a hertrty hiut'h.

certain kind of tallow excra.-ted from the
broad and thick extremity ut the Cara-

potent that we would not use it even for

The lurks are essentially vegetarians,
i They eat beef very rarely, and never pork
' or veal. Tbey indulge in drinks, lean
j fowls, and finally s!iep, the liesh of

roasted, retaining alt their juice. :his is
what is called kebab, a healthful and

Turkish pastry is quite varied, and
would not be disaim-eable if honey an.1
sugar were not used so abundantly, ami
if the taste of tallow coo Id be excluded.
