WAS MADE A LADY.
About as desolate a country imaginable
ia tint which borders Milk-reck Hollow
in the State of Pennsylvania. The creek
which used to roar and foam, down tne
rocks from the highlands is usual lv dry
now except in the spring of the year, or
after some protracted rainfall.
Some years ago Mr. DunliDgson, of
Philadelphia, was called to this region on
business. He was driving through the
hills one summer day, auJ when in one
of the mott tangled and precipitous parts
of the route he observed the approach of
nightfall, and looked anxiously ahead
for the tavern, which an old man, a full
hour before, had said was up the road a
little piece.
When he approached he was over-joy
ed to see a board swinging over the door
with the words "Simpson Hotel" paint
ed thereon in large black tetters. Ilei
ekiah Simpson, the proprietor of the
"Half-Way House," as his hotel was
sometimes called, did not present the
outward indications by which s land
lord is Usually known namely, a big
red face, large, plump, fluify hands, a
portly figure and a mtssive gold watch
c tain hanging from his vest. On the
Contrary, Mr. Simpson was a thin,
weazen-faced individual with hair once
red but now sprinkled with gray, aud
hands bard and grimy from toil.
Mr. Danlingson surveyed with a
critical eye tiie interior of the cjueer
habitation, and was nuch t q pressed by
the neatness and order vvhieh prevailed.
Simpson took pains to tell him, as he had
done every stranger who set fjot inside
his threshold, that his daughter, Ljz, was
"remarkable girl, and the best house
keeper that ever lived," The latter state
ment Mr. Dunlingson was ready to ac
cept, partially on the supporting evidence
of ocular demonstration.
When Liz brought on the supper he
was fully MtUfted that Landlord Simpson
had good reason to be proud of his
daughter.
Mr. Dunllngson wandered oat, and
finding a comfortable seat, remained for
an hour or so, deeply wrapped in thouzht.
The road lay at his back but a few steps
away, and be heard some one approach
ing from the direction of the hotel.
He glanced through the trees and saw
two persons a boy and a girl and they
Sdjined to be talking earnestly. When
directly back of him they halted.
'But the city is an awful big place,
Jim," he heard Liz say.
'Yes, Liz, I suppose it's as b:g as a
dozen places like Millcreek, but thats
why I want to go there. I want to go
where there is life, where one can see
people and have a paying pn the whole
year through. Up here there is nothing
bit stumps, and I've seen them until my
eye? ache. I'll go to Pnilaielphit, get
work and in a few years I'll send for yon
a id we'll get married and live tV.ere."
Mr. Dunlingvm saw quite plainly the
hsj's eager face in the moonlight, and
when they finally passed on, still plan
ning and building golden castles, Le
aijhed to think of hopes so liable to
ramain unfulfilled. After musing for some
t rue, he re entered the bouse and dis
missed the event from his mind.
Several weeks later, as he sat in hli
private oIlTiee, one afternoon, enrroundtd
with papers, there came a timid knock at
the door, and in response to bis call,
"Come in," the door opened and admit
ted a ouog country lad.
'Well, my boy, what can Ido for you T'
said Mr. Dunlingson, kindly.
"I have come to see if you cannot
give me some work in the office," said
the boy.
Mr. Dunlingson was scrutinizing him
carefully, and he thought h e detected a
resemblance in the tanned, weather-
beaten face to some one he had come in
contact with previously.
'I am afraid, my boy," said he, "that
we are full at present, but you may fill
out one of these applications," and he
handed him a printed form.
The boy sat down at a desk and did
so. Mr. Dunlingson glanced at it and
read the address, "James Haines, Mill
creek, Pa.," and then he remembered
that this was the Jim who was to make
Liz a lady some day. His heart warmed
toward the lad, and, rising, he stepped
out of the office for some minutes. When
be returned, he said : "I guess, Mr.
Haines, that we can give you something
for the present, as they need s man to
assist the bookkeepers." '
So Jim, after a long, weary search for
work, bad at last fonnd a place, and little
did he know the reason. lie wrote to
Liz, recounting hie good fortune, and the
next morning went to work witl s will
to overcome all obstacles. He proved
remarkably apt, and was very ambitious.
As time passed he was promoted from
place to place, until he finally occupied
a position of considerable responsibility,
Mr. Dunlingson went into the firm
soon after engaging Jim, and his former
position, as superintendent, was filled by
a Mr. Jiggs.
Several years had elapsed when one
day Mr. Jiggs announced his intention
of going into business for himself in some
western city, and it therefore devolved
upon the firm to seek a new superin
tendent. The partners held a long consultation
as to who was the available man. "Mr.
Haines has proven himself competent,"
said Mr. Dunlingson, and the ethers
seemed to be of tbe same opinion.
Mr. Dunlingson succeeded in having a
long talk with Jim, or rather Mr. Haines,
as be as always now called, but be did
not hint Ibe new opening. He was sur
prised that Mr. Haines did not respond
more freely to questions about his old
home.
"I suppose," said Mr. Dunlingson. with
a smile, "that you will be sending back
to Millcreek, one of these days, for a wife
to cheer your lonely hours?''
"Well, hardly, Mr. Dunlingson," said
Haines. "The truth is, a boy geta his
head full of impractical ideas. I confess
that I once had some such notion, but
have dismissed it as a bit of boyish
sentimentality. I have no desire to mar
ry unless it is to some one who can ap
preciate my life as it is now."
"Don't yon think that Liz could ap
preciate and accord with city ways, Mr.
Haines?" said Mr. Dunlingson, suddenly
looking up.
"Liz?" said Haines. "How did you
ever learn of her? Has she been writing
you?"
"No," said Mr. Dunlingjon, "but I
know that you once promised to make
her a lady and that now you intend to
repudiate that promise. Are you to
blame for the change of circumstance.-,
or is Liz V said be, looking his cletk
straight in the eye.
"I I suppose that I am to blame,''
said Haines, hesitatingly. "She Ls a good
girl but knows nothing of city life, and
on the whole would not be happy here;
besides, it would be some years before I
could fulfill my promise satisfactorily, es
I have only a nest egg at present."
Ifyou were promoted to five thousand
a year I presume yon could very goon ?"
said Mr. Dunlingson.
'Why, ye?, in siuh a case it would be
possible," he atammared.
'Well," said Mr. Daulinjson, "Jigg is
going to leave ns and we shall have to
engage a new superintendent. We need
a man who never flinches from duty a
man who rememoers his promises and
while yon have tbe mental capability, J
am afraid, Mr. Haines, that there is a
moral defect somewhere. Your business
integrity I do not doubt for a moment,
but speaking to you as a friend, there are
many obligations outside of basines
that place ua under equal responsibilities.
In regard to the promotion I will speak
to you again shortly."
"Perhaps I've done wrong," murmJrtd
Haines, "Liz was a very good girl and
she loved me truly perhaps I've done
wrong." He turned and left the room.
A week later he took a leave of absence'
When he returned he entered Mr. Dun
lingsoa'g room. "Mr. Dunlingson," said
be, "give Jigga place to some one eL-e.
I cannot make Liz a lady, for she hrs
always been one, but she is my wife, atid
the reward U greater than $",000 a year.
Give Mr. Seeger the place; he under
stands tbe bnainess thoroughly, and Liz
and I have concluded that we can live
very comfortably on our present income."
"We'll see about it," said Mr. Dunling
son, "but let me congratulate you," ar.d
he shook Haines warmly by the hand.
Some weeks later Haines agreed to ac
cept Jiggs' place on condition that Mr.
Dunlingson should believe that mercen
ary motives Lad been entirely snowed
under by the recurrence of his old love
for Lz, and then, for the first time, Jim
learned how it happened that he obtain

woman at the kitchen door; "I've get

"Do I look like a tramp, ma'am?" sa d

"I'm the victim of an unjust social sys

The Weddind Ring.
From an early period the ring baa beea
associated with skepticism. Its circular
form made it acceptable aa type of
ettrnity, hence it is regarded as a token
of lasting affection.
Although primitive nations lavishly
displayed rings they appear to have been
little valued until the Greeks, noted for
their originality and sentiment, gave
them a deeper significance. Thus from
the most imaginative people that the
world baa ever known tbe ring came into
use as a gift of love or a sign of betrothal.
It ia to the Jews, however, that we owe
tho .prominence given, even to-day, to
the ring in tbe marriago service. The
ring used was sometimes very large and
elaborate, artistically fashioned of filigree
and richly enameled. Upon it in He
brew characters were the word, "Joy Le
with you."
Iu uccor.lance with the Jewish la
this ring should be of a fixed value, and
was, therefore, carefully examine! by
the rabbi and chief oll'uers of the syna
gogue when presented by the bride
groom. When it was ascertained that
the ring was the absolute property of the
bridegroom and had not been obtained
by credit or gift, he placed it on the
bride's linger and declared that by this
means she was consecrated to biuu
The invention in the sixteenth centu
ry, of the giintnal, or linked ring, gave
still greater importance to the ancient
sacred dutora. It was male with a
double or triple link, which turned upon
a pivot, and could be shut up into one
solid ring. To the side of each outer
hoop a small band was attached, each
fitting into the other a3 the hoops were
brought together, and inclosing a heart
ailixel to the central notched riur.
At the betrothal tha threa parti were
broken assunder over the Bible, some
times ia the presence of a witness, when
the man and woman broke the npper
and lower rings from the central one,
which was kept by the witness. At the
marriage rite the throe portions wera
once more united and the complete ring
then used in the ceremony.
The custom of wearing the wedding
ring on tbe third fingor of the left hand
originated from an old belief that from
this finger a nerve went direct to the
heart. So completely did the Greeks
and Romans confide in this capricious
on ot pnystology that tne rm or
' feeble linger" was termed the medical
or heating finger by their physicians,
who used it to stir their mixture, believ
ing that nothing hurtful could touch it
without its giving immediate warning by
a palpitation of the heart
Tiie clasped hands apoptel on the
grimmal rings became an emblem on the
solid wedding ring, and this style of ring
is still in usa in the odl local committee
of fishermen living in the Claddah, at
Gal way, on the western coast of Ireland.
They number with their families about
five or six thouund, are very exclusive
in their tastes and habits and rarely in
ter marry with other than their own peo
ple; with them the weJiiar rir.3 is an
heirloom, regularly transferred from the
mother to the daughter who ia first mar
ried, and so on through her descendants.
Many of these rings are very ol J, and
in these older designs the hands sapport
a crowned heart, emblematic of the mar
ried state. Within the hoop of the risg
it is customary to iaseribs a motto usual
ly consisting of a eitnple sentiment, sotue-
tbnes expressed in commonplace rhyme.
One of the most whiniiical of t'te in
scriptions was cs2d by Dr. J. Thniuas',
bithop of L'ncola, England, who ha 1
bien married three times. Oa his fourth
mirriaga be placed the following in
scription on the wedding ring:
"it' I survive,"
I'll make them Cve,"

Fifty Dollars Saved the Bank.
Old-timers tell the story how T.J.
Kelley, a contractor of this city anl now
manager of tbe horse market iu Grand
ave., between Fifth st. and Miss-ouri-ave.,
by a very clever ruse, stopped a run on a
bank and prevented its going to the wall
way back in 1S71. At that time the Kan
sas City Savings AssoeLUion, sow the
National Bank of Coic,c;eree, was located
at the south est corner of Fourth and
Delaware sU. Mr. Kelley was then sec
retary and cashier of the Corrigan Street
Iiailway Company, aad the company's,
account was kept at this bank.
Tne mU'jb despised penny was not
then in general ute here as now. People
were ashamed to pay for any article with
pennies, except, perhaps, postage stamps,
and the old fashioned 'faro box' in the
cars became a d'imping ground for them
From Mto t in pennies would be found
in the boxes by Mr. Kelley every day.
He usually dumped them ia sacks and
stored them away in the company's vault.
During the crisis of 71 tbe psop'e be
came very much excited an 1 flocked to
the banks in droves to withdraw their
deposits. Ejus were made on near.y all
the banks in the city and several were
forced to suspenL U e day a run was
mala npon the Kanass City Savings
Bank, and the people were Heed up
waiting their turns to reach the tellers,
who were paying out money by the bask
etful, when a happy though,! struck Mr.
Kelley. He went to. the police atatio n,
secured three police u;an to giarJ his
treasure, loaded eiht sacks of coppers
upon a wheelbarrow and took them down
to the bank. The sacks Iliad originally
contained gold and were labelled oa the
outside "IVW a great big blank let
ters. Arriving at the bank, one old colored
woman, who had come to withnraw her
small savings called nut :
"Why,M.stah Kdley, whi' f yo' put
all that money inhere when we'se a
drawin oar money out ?"
Kelley replied : "That's all right , thia
bank isn't going to bust. I can put more
money in here in one day than all yoa
people can draw out in six months," as
he trudged into the bank w ith the last
sack.
This display of confidence on tbe part
of the street railway company had a
quieting effect npon the crowd and they
rapidly dwindled away.
The sacks contained just $5J, bat it
saved the bank. Kama CJj JournL

A Cheerful Personalty.
There is no power so strong, so potent,
so dominating as the iocr of personal
ity. When the members of a house
hold bring this power ia ite fullest charm
to War on the household of life, tho
household at once becomes the home.
No resources of wealth can give, no limi
tations of poverty can take away, thia all
conquering force.
And, while charm of personality is to
some extent, indeed to a very great de
gree, a natural gift it can also be very
successfully cultivated; and it ia the duty
of every human being to endeavor to cul
tivate it. Storoseness and gloom effect
ually kill ont all the gladness and sun
shine of life ; and taking those away,
there is also taken away the working
force, the energy that forma the motor.
In a happy and peaceful frame of mind
all work, or even pares, are comparative
ly easy to bear; ia m jro?ness, or bitter
ness, they are quite the reverse.
It is jrtst as easy to have the manner
of pleasantess, of ease, of response, as it is
to go about in a very atmosphere of the
forbidding and repellant. Thought is the
one and only force, and it ia perfectly
ea.y to think on those things that are
pleasant and lovely and of good report.
It ia largely a habit of mind, and good
habita, as well as bad ones, are to a great
extent a matter of formation of one's
self. Good spirits, as they are called, are
half the battle. Any work is half done
already if entered npon in acheeifall
frame of mind.
A most important part of the educa
tion of children lies in cultivating the
habit of looking on the pleasant side of
things rather than tbe reverse. There ia
mora! efficacy in a joke. Fun and hu
mor are the salt that keeps the savor.
To be able to make light of Lhe little ilia
and accidents of life ia to hold the on
trolling power over them.
There ia no experience more disheart
ening tli in to encounter the person who,
in respmse to one's casual inq-tiry as to
health and general outlook, responds
drearily and gloomily. .Sjc'j. a dis,osi
tion makes the encounter with its posees- !
sor a burdeu like an avalanche flung on ,
one. I is a serious fault, and one that
can an t should be overco.na. No one
has any moral right to go about the world
in a state of gloom carrying with him a
hitter, repeliant atmosphere. Life is
given to be glad in ; to use worthily ; to
make the most offer ourselves and for
others. To be pleasant, to be agrteable
and responsive and cheerfa! anl uplift
ing ia an important part of the personal
duties of life. -l.t-n'Mu C''iititi
Jumping Seeds.
One cf the curious exhibits in the
Spanish building at the world's fair was
a display of jumping seeds or live beana.
These sesda are remarkable for their
spontaneous movements, as they are con
stantly jumping about and turning over.
Both day and night they are continually
on the move, and placed in a wooden
box keep up a constant clatter.
The shell of eaob sse 1 ia perfectly air
tight, and the observer is surprised to
learn that inside tliistcaso is a live worm
in some respects similar to the silk worm.
The great strength of thia little creature
and the mechanical means it employs for
moving and j'ltnpicg with its shell are
wondei ful. The seeds are nearly of a tri
angular shape, two of their surfaces being
plain and the other convex. Tne worms
generally measure 1 1 millimeters long
and three wide. Their hea Is are a little
reddish, the same as their 1 feet, which
are well developed.
Ifyou cut a little ojiening with a knife
in the shell yon can sjo the worm inside
at work, and with threads of silk it forms
a resisting uiemhrane which cover the
hole iuinaediately. After the sh! H
again render? I air tight the worn rsttov
era its n:ial leaping propensities. To
kinds of movements are observable ; one
consists of an intermittent progression,
the seed sliding over the surface on
which it is placed; the other novemant
is verified by leaps or jumps that raise
the seed to a height of from. on-sixth to
one-haln iaeli. The mechanism of the
movement ia introduced by the wor:n.
